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."

: Unlike M|R, we're not trying to EXACTLY dupe Marathon.
: We're doing what we feel is necessary to enhance
: gameplay, while retaining all the positive aspects.

Understood.

: This is a coding issue. Captain's been having quite a
: time getting the shotguns to fire correctly.

I figured as much. You guys have clearly put a tremendous amount of work into what is here already.

: Single-player isn't implemented yet. Don't complain about
: it. We only care about MP comments, right now.

Sorry about that. Just to clarify: this is a free mod--I'm not complaining, only commenting. :)

: We're improving upon Marathon, here. Having more
: realistic-looking ammo gives the game the look that
: we're going for. Ultimately, we want Marathon to be a
: sci-fi/horror deal. The enemies will be a lot darker
: and creepier. We don't think that the
: "colorfulness" of the original game got that
: feel across appropriately (blue, green and yellow
: enemies more suited to a bowl of lucky charms). In
: short, we all liked Evil. ;)

I understand completely. Nonetheless, I think a little color would ease identification, but doesn't have to make it look cartoony. You guys did a great job with the team colors in this respect.

: Feel lucky that the game is playable at 1024x768 for you.
: ;)
: Honestly, this is the first complaint I've heard
: regarding HUD size at higher res.

I do, indeed, feel very lucky.
