In Response To: Re: Eternal release schedule - opinions wanted (Forrest of B.org)

: Eternal Omega is the name I've long used for "Eternal X plus if I ever
: get new weapons and player models so it can be used properly for network
: play". I recently met someone who has been helping to make those new
: weapon and player models, and once that is done (or sooner) I'm going to
: look into getting a netmap pack put together, and releasing all that as
: Eternal Omega.

: An additional possibility I've been seriously thinking about is trying to put
: together a little five-map "vidmaster's challenge" of sorts, but
: something new, something different, something that's never been done
: before. A series of unbelievably, ass-kickingly difficult maps that
: require cooperative play to beat. These would have a loose story
: connecting them, that will be something of a sequel to Eternal, though not
: really, since you won't be playing as Marcus but as the other eight
: Battleroids (neglecting Hathor) from the Tau Ceti IV colony. The story
: wouldn't stay on Tau Ceti of course, but would span all of Eternal's five
: environments, and most likely end up resolving the big elephant in the
: room left over from the end of Eternal - somewhere out there in
: Pfhor-controlled space is still the Sphere, inside of which, frozen in
: time, are the dying remains of the ancient Jjaro, the nightmares of the
: W'rkncacnter, Hathor in a Jjaro-cyborg body... and you, Marcus, as you
: were in the middle of Chapter 5.

Is the last name of Marcus Eddings? In your story is Marcus the reanimated Sgt. Eddings? I haven't finished Eternal yet but on a Terminal somewhere in the story there is a mention of the Jjaro incident in 1994 which i think is PiD.

For this Eternal Omega are you planning on having the M-75 AR (Marathon 1 Assault Rifle)in the Tau Ceti conflicts. Since these conflicts are taking place around the time of Marathon 1 shouldn't there be the M-75 AR which was the Marathon's assault Rifle. It would not make since to put in the MA-75B AR (Marathon 2, Infinity Assault Rifle)in the game since the MA-75B was a different variant of the M-75 which was mass produced after the events of Marathon 1 by Durandel.

Also if you put in the Fusion gun, Rocket Launcher, Flame Thrower, Pistol would they be in there Marathon 1 or Marathon 2, Infinity incarnations? Since the Marathon 2 versions of the weapons look different and were massed produced by Durandel. It would not make since to have M2 weapons in M1 time. But if it is to hard for you and your team to put the M1 variants of the human weapons in then thats fine by me.
