Re: Don't you have to kill everything?

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'm pretty sure I did. That would be a reasonable mission parameter for this level, but I don't remember if that's the way it was in original Marathon*. I do know, though, that mission parameters can't affect whether a switch work or not in original Marathon. By getting to that switch, the player has pretty much been exposed to all areas of the map already. From what I can tell, it looks like there's a bug with the switch.
*Okay, I just tried the level in M1A1 (playing original M1 would be difficult or impossible for me). When I hit the switch in M1A1, it opened the door immediately. I was also able to then walk to the starting area and teleport to the next level *despite* purposefully leaving some aliens alive. So unless M1A1 missed the extermination mission parameter, that's not a requirement of the original level.
