Stunning! I had to post again as I am continually amazed by M:R with each level I jump to. The gameplay is utterly terrific. I've no idea how many 90's Marathon fans are partaking of this revamped experience but M:R should be a diet for all of us. Listen up ye old Marathon aficionados: get a copy of UT and download this mod ASAP.
God, I loved Bob B-Q. Appears that some tweaks were made that the old tricks didn't work like I recalled... major adrenaline... and Cool Fusion, Blaspheme ... oh yeah. For what it's worth, I'm on a dual 2.3 G5 and playing in Classic. Have had no performance hits outside of slower frame rates on the visually hot Fire! Fire!...
It occured to me that the Shield Rechargers that appear dead on a few levels DO work. This has been posted many times before but not where to stand to get them to function:
COOL FUSION: SR at the beginning corridor. Stand to the far left of it facing it diagonally. Keep moving along the wall to the corner until it can charge.
HABE QUIDDAM: SR at the beginning. Stand facing it and sidestep to the left until facing one of the bolts on the wall (you will literally be almost a foot away from the SR.) It's flaky but will charge and sometimes only if you crouch down.
NEVER BURN MONEY: I never got this to work so it looks dead.
I also found that the dual MAGNUMS would not both work at times but switching to another weapon/firing and switching back did the trick.
I'm only a little over halfway through but, M:R Team, your patience over 7 years is a virtue with what you've created. It's bringing back more than just great memories but also the gut-wrenching action I lived a decade ago.
