In Response To: Re: Marathon 2004 (Clarke)

: Why would they make another marathon game when they've got Halo? They're
: already making Halo 2; they've got a new series to work on.

Simply because Halo is good (I played it, and it's damn good) but like it or not it still lacks the depth and the fascination of Marathon. The Marathon universe was cooler. UESC was better than UNSC, the Pfhor were definitely better foes than the Covenant or the Flood, and the original marine mjolnir mk IV was by far cooler than the fat master chief. At the end of the game you had the feeling of having actually met Leela or Durandal, on the other hand, as some other kid said, in Halo Cortana is just a voice and an hologram giving you some directions during the game.
Remember Halo could not exist without Marathon.
Hell, everybody is doing sequels or redos! Think about Wolfenstein, or Doom, or Half Life.
Why not Marathon?
Finally, Marathon was a Mac-only game. Doing a redo for the xbox, the Mac and the fu**ing PC would give the opportunity to play it also to the million of guys who missed it back in 1994.
