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."

In Response To: Re: m2003? (BriM)
M2003 (Marathon TWO thousand and THREE) was in development, but we choked due to lack of support. There was a scripter, an inorganic artist, and a musician. AKA not really enough to make a MOD team. The project lines have shifted somewhat, and the augmented team is still modding, but on a different project. Needless to say, the script, weapons and basic archetecture for M2003 still remains, and we might pick it (or something related to Marathon) back up upon completion of this project.
I hate to smash hopes: but no development under the M2003 title has been done by me for about 4 months. Really, the only thing partaining to this project is the name of some of the script files. Sorry to say it, but nothing is prone to be updated, unless a new team steps up to "take the battern" so to speak.
Why change? Lots of reasons. The main one being the desire to create something of our own, and not to risk the problems associated with a remake (What it should look like: what we like it to be: what we want to add in: what the Pfhor should look like: everything basically). Really I have a great respect for T:U for making M:R so true to the origional Marathon which still gives you that kick of nostelgia whenever you load up Mars Needs Women and do some fragging. Hell, our new Plazma Pistol would earth through walls, players, archetechure etc. was a bugger to control, and didn't really do the origional justice (Try firing a shot that looses energy as it earths down the hallway - I loved it, but it drove people up the wall). The control system was based upon "Player fluidity" and most weapons were equiped with lazer sights. There came the point where we just swung too far away to continue calling this project "Marathon".
After the recognition that we did get, it is a pity that the project was put on hold - but again - you can't do this alone and we just put a book mark on the page, and closed the book.
M2003 was in development, did exist, and still has weapon models, a handful of textures, some music and script.
I hope that satisfies your questions, and if you have anymore, don't hesitate to ask.

P.S. Anyother team members: feel free to correct me about anything I said.
