In Response To: Re: Marathon 2004 (the Battle Cat)

: OK not really but I would very much want to have Bungie
: continue the traditional Marathon story with the characters we have come
: to know and love/hate.

Redoing, or continuing the story? I personally would like to see a redo first - perhaps combining all three scenarios into one. The Halo engine should be able to handle this and there could be some interesting side stories and true nonlinearity that weren't possible with original Marathon engines. And then continuing the saga would be outstanding. It would be great to see Bungie go back to what was their crowning achievement - the best integration of story and FPS ever. But then your average gamer could care less about the story - if they do, they play the Myst-like games. Which is why the Marathon community is so strong after all these years - we have nowhere else to turn after. XBOX games appeal to the masses which, unfortunately, doesn't seem to include us.
