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 don't mean to be an ass, or indignant, but the descriptions of the original that you post sound like Half-Life with extra 'consoles', rather than verbal communication.
This makes it seem quite advanced over DOOM, but what I don't understand is that if this was so much better, why did Bungie quit making it, or the sequels;
And, could it have been done the same way if DOOM didn't exist?
I mean, would you guys had thought it so much as a cult classic if it never had DOOM to compete with, or never got the idea for FPSing from the mostly-iD crowd?
No flames please, I'm mearly trying to see if it's worth DLing, and trying to sift through some of the hype that goes along with the specs of the game.
(To be fair, I'll tell you now that I've visited the Marathon story page, and felt that it was a great plot, one that's even a bit more involved than DOOM's meager one. Of course the DOOM game had four novels written about it in order to deepen the plot, and I'm wondering why the Marathon story has not done the same.)
