: It only limits the replayability if the only thing you care about is being

Yes, but eventually you'll get bored, especially when the AI is as poor as it is in Marathon. Now, the first level of Halo actually has a lot of replay value, but only because the AI will do new things each time you play. In Marathon, you can just learn the same old cycle for a level. Lather, rinse, repeat.
: Also, from one of your other posts it sounds like you're playing Marathon
: with crosshairs on. What are you doing playing Marathon with crosshairs
: on?
Heh, I never played Marathon. Just Aleph One. ;) Basically, I'm not a stickler for keeping true to Marathon. If Aleph One is even superficially true to it, I'm happy. This is why I like the fog in M1A1; it makes the game even better. I play Infinity with the Texture Enhancement Pack as well as the Weapons Enhancement Pack. If the game plays the same, I don't care if the aesthetics are different. Crosshairs will do just fine. Especially when you're playing Sniper with an SMG.
