	Message: : Dunno why I felt like it, but here goes: Evaluations Towards Marathon : Weaponry : Note: Keep in mind that NO WEAPON IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER. Each weapon has : its own strengths and weaknesses. Never judge any weapon by just one : concept. : Fists: These are, well, fists. Your fists are plated with spiked brass : knuckles. That combined with your tremendous cyborg strength adds up to : enough power to kill. There is no secondary attack, but you can simply : just press the right button to punch. It remains useful throughout the : game, believe it or not. Here are the evaluations. : Strengths: No required ammo : Effective with the run and punch technique : Good for stealth : Good for destroying things such as circuitry : Weaknesses: Sometimes rendering you vulnerable : Lacks stopping power : Not very fast : Gives time for other enemies to attack : Magnum: Aside from your fists, this is the weapon you start out with. Your : semi-automatic standard issue sidearm, as always, is readied for combat, : and also has its advantages and disadvantages. Primary fire is simply : shooting the pistol. Secondary fire, is, well, shooting a second pistol if : you have one. The Magnum remains quite a useful weapon throughout the : game, so don't disregard the Magnum simply because it's a pistol and/or it : is weapon number 2. : Strengths: Most accurate weapon in the game : Good spare projectile weapon : Instant-hit : Best range weapon in the game in general : Weaknesses: Choppy stopping power : Lack of rapid-fire capabilities : Slightly low ammo capacity per clip : Incapable of destroying circuitry or turning on switches from a distance : Note: If you collect another magnum, press option to bring it up, giving you : dual pistols, doubling the deadliness. Press option again to fire the : second Magnum. : Assault Rifle: This is a weapon known for its deadliness. It is the first : weapon you encounter with a primary and secondary fire. It fires automatic : bullets in primary fire, whereas in secondary fire it fires grenades. This : is a great weapon, like all the others, good stopping power, and good with : combo attack (shooting both bullets and grenades at the same time). Just : don't fire grenades in close quarters, for that will result in : self-devastation, and perhaps even suicide! : Strengths: Excellent stopping power (especially with secondary fire) : Instant-hit primary fire : High ammo capacity : Fast fire rate (especially with primary fire) : Can destroy circuitry and turn on distant switches with secondary fire : Weaknesses: Lack of accuracy : Slow moving grenades : Grenades weigh down after a while : Lack of good range capabilities : Self-devastative secondary fire when in close quarters. : Fusion Pistol: Want a weapon that matches the style of a old, classic sci-fi : movie? Well, take the Fusion Pistol! Well, it's not just the looks that : make it great. This is a gun that fires fusion projectiles. While primary : fire releases normal projectiles at considerable fire rate, secondary fire : will charge up the fusion pistol until you release the button, releasing a : more deadly fusion projectile towards your enemy, although it takes some : time. Don't hold on to the charging button for too long, or the thing will : explode, killing you in the process! Useful weapon though. : Strengths: Capable of destroying circuitry and turning on distant switches : Good stopping power, very deadly when using secondary fire : Good primary fire firing rate : Accurate : Weaknesses: Slow-moving projectiles : Takes a while to charge up the secondary fire projectile : Not very good range weapon : Deadly accidents where the secondary fire is held down for too long, soon : killing the player : Missile Launcher: Bringing out the heavy artillery has never been so great! : Introducing the Missile Launcher, which fires missiles at your opponent. : It's a great weapon. Need I say more? Perhaps I can with these : evaluations. : Strengths: EXCELLENT stopping power, sometimes good for taking out slews of : enemies. : Decent accuracy : It can destroy circuitry and turn on distant switches : Weaknesses: Slow reload : Slow moving missiles : Little ammo capacity per missile container (2 missiles before being reloaded) : Flame Thrower: You just gotta love a nice barbecue aboard the Marathon. The : Flame Thrower projects flames, and has no secondary fire. Although it may : not be compatible with S'pht compilers, it's deadly up close against other : enemies. : Strengths: Deadly, especially up close : Good ammo capacity per napalm canister : Fast- it pretty much is like a deadly barrier : Weaknesses: Not much range : Useless against S'pht compilers : Covers most of the world screen, making it hard to see what is coming towards : you, such as a projectile. : Alien Weapon: This is the weapon that the Pfhor Enforcers carry around and : use. Alien Weapons are guns that don't have a secondary fire, but when : fired, it releases seemingly instant-hit projectiles at fast rate, though : not VERY accurate, although it is fired in a tight radius. The weapons : screen will only display an error, and will not display the ammunition or : ANY information about this gun, so I guess you will have to learn from : experience how many shots there are in these guns. Keep in mind that you : can't pick up more than one Alien Weapon, and there are no ammunition : containers available. So once you use this thing up, you'd better find : another. : Strengths: Instant-hit : Fast rate of fire : Fairly accurate : Weaknesses: No information whatsoever displayed : No ammo containers available : Not very effective : So that's it. Remember kids, no weapon in Marathon is better than the other. : Each has their own strengths and weaknesses. It isn't just how powerful a : gun is, mind you. There is also accuracy, speed, ammo capacity, etc. : Certain weapons best correspond to certain situations, depending on the : health, the environment, the opponent, the distance, etc. Always have : faith in all of your weapons. Happy happy carnage carnage!
