Yeah, that one little article has given us many 1337 speakin' marathon fans. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I guess it's a little bit of both. More of a good thing thou. Bungie have been supporting marathon a lot. It would die a lot faster if bungie wouldn't had posted that article about A1. (and it would had died a lot faster if there wouldn't had been any A1, thank you A1 developers, thank you!) Now like you said, The current bungie guys were not around when marathon came, but for some reasons they are talking about it and telling people about it. But well, they got a lot of things to learn compared to all the errors about what they say about Marathon. hehe.
Real marathon fans, be prepared for the next wave of Marathon n00bs! ;-)
