In Response To: Re: Return to Marathon (Elliott)

: If you do EMR you must do Devil in a Blue Dress first. EMR is its sequel of
: sorts.

I was going to suggest this myself - just as we did SONK before Evil.

: I would like to see fell done first off. Then perhapse Origin of
: Species. That would be more then fresh in the minds of most.

Origin is a really fun scenario to play but it doesn't really have much of a story. If gameplay were the only factor, then The Black Series would be near the top of my list, but there needs to be a story worthy of discussion. No matter how much fun a map is to play nor how much eye candy there is, running around shooting things up is not much of a topic for discussion. Not sure how others feel about this, however, as Origin definitely has some very clever maps that would be interesting to discuss from a constructional standpoint.

: An AI Called Wanda or Operation Vengeance would also be good.

Both of these should be discussed, but we may have to get someone else to take the lead on OV.

:D-Day and Futility are another two that would go nicely, but are a little lighter on the
: story(d-day has a cool twist).

D-Day has some interesting tie-ins to the Marathon Story, and I'm sure the Battle Cat would have something to add to that discussion. Futility - yikes - I can't seem to come close to beating that one.

Megiddo - I almost forgot about it - a fun scenario, but where's the story to discuss?

At the top of my list would still be Trojan.

Pfh'Joueur has one of the strongest stories out there - but I have my own plans for it that will include a spoiler guide for it that I'm very slowly working on (particularly while these volunteer posts are going on).

Gemini station is another short, but worthy scenario IMHO. Any others?
