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."

: He means that giving a melee attack to each weapon is too
: Halo-esque..
: Though it would be entertaining to see... But run-punch
: would have to do more damage than any melee attack. 
Unfortunately, the likleyness of this being implenented is slim to none. I know better than to rule everything out, but still...what's involved is more work than I forsee any of us willing to undertake at this point, in addition to everything else. Not only does it require new animations for the inhand weapons to do that for each weapon, but it also requires rebundling all the packages, writing the code for it, adjusting, debugging etc...essentially it's a bigger ball of wax than I think we have the time to deal with. Also, we don't want to fundamentally change the Marathon gameplay too much. With the exception of jumping, we've been able to stay pretty close to the original.
