In Response To: Re: One Man's Canon Is Another's PITA (long) (Godot)

: Then that's because it is a bug in all three games. Jason never admitted to
: it nor did he fix it. In Marathon 1 on Total Carnage you can pick up a
: second weapon when your current weapon is empty. But you can't below Total
: Carnage. This was the bug I was referring to in this post.

: It's nonsense to have a fully loaded weapon on the floor and you can't use it
: or its ammo, simply because you already have an empty one in your
: inventory. Total nonsense, just like the multiple pick-up nonsense.

: I'm sure there is reason why Jason never fixed this in M2. Maybe it can't be
: fixed.

I believe you're reaching on this one. Plus, if it really is a bug in all three games, then that means we ought to fix it, for all three games - in which case the entire gameplay falls around our heels like broken mush.

My basic thought processes say "It's not a bug, it's a feature." Every Marathon scenario has been built around it, all the games are built around it, and if it was a bug, then why was it never 'fixed'? Maybe because it actually turned out for the better?

All in all, not worth going down the line of "The whole weapon system is flawed" - it leads you nowhere.

Vale,
Perseus
