SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

: I think jumping would ruin the game because half the
: strategy involved in Marathon was taking into account
: the fact you couldn't jump. Which is where grenade
: hopping originated. How much less skill would be
: involved in the Blaspheme Quarantine, getting that
: secret in the area after you have to activate the
: floor lifts at the right time?!! Instead of having
: only one chance (due to health limitations and the
: damaging effects of a close proximity to an exploding
: grenade + 20 or more Pfhor on your ass) you get an
: infinite #, as well as an easy shot at more ammo etc.

Have you tried it? If you have the mod then you have Blaspheme Quarantine. Jumping doesn't save you from having to grenade hop to get into the second secret room. In fact, jumping doesn't really make it easier to get into the first secret room either. In the six or seven SP maps that I have finished far enough to be able to tell, jumping hasn't made anything that much easier.
