In Response To: Re: Tour of Duty - Defend THIS! *LONG* (PerseusSpartacus)

: : Nope not an 'engine limitation', human error. No mission type was
: specified

: Oops. My bad. I really need to read back up on stuff; I've stopped
: remembering a lot of the material that's been gathered over the years.
: Time to kickstart (I think that's the phrase) my brain once more!

Aye. As Dr. Sumner rightly points out this is actually documented on the Story page. Damn... I'll have to go back and read that page someday. ;)

: : This was never actually corrected. Aleph One fixed the problem at the back

: Once again, another part of the debate. Which path do we follow; canon, or
: realism? Are there some places where it is reasonable to maintain canon,
: and others where it is not reasonable? Is there some middle place between
: the two?

99.99% of people playing Marathon wouldn't realise that you only need to flip one specific switch on Defend THIS! rather than all three to complete your mission. Same is true of Couch Fishing and G4 Sunbathing (1 out of 4). Indeed without the Vidmaster page, people (including yourself) would have been blissfully unaware of this problem.

As such there is no need to deliberately break these mission objectives in M1A1 to replicate a M1 'engine limitation'.

Of course, using my same logic... 99.99% of people playing M1A1 wouldn't know if the mission objectives had been deliberately broken to replicate the original M1 switch problem. ;)
