In Response To: Re: Why is everyone so against this? (C Lund)

: Mind you, this, like the majority of the Marathon projects that have been
: announced thorugh the ages, is unlikely to come to anything, so this is
: basically just a tempest in a teapot. B)

Hence my post at the very beginning of this topic, which, in my opinion, is a very accurate summary of what will happen to this project. Source mods take a MASSIVE amount of time and a staff of more than two people, with significant talent. Even then, the amount of time is tremendous and the likelihood of it even reaching alpha is slim to none.

Let me put it this way: almost all Marathon total conversions don't finish (100s attempt, and I think there's like 7 finished), and these can be done with one person in less than a year. The odds of a team like the one that made Sigma or Eternal finishing a Source mod before HL3 comes out? Sliiiim.

But hey. My $5 still is on the table.
