And let us not forget ToD started out being called "Volunteers", a term coined by Grasshopper back in 2001.

If anyone's interested, I'd like for some of us to go through M1 (and more if we can), in sequence, completing roughly one level a day, and discussing each level chronologically as it is completed, with a focus on the story, of course. Maybe we can bring in some additional perspectives from the arrival.bungie.org documents.
The idea is to bring together the fine folks from this community, and find an excuse to play/discuss Marathon.
Some great posts in the Volunteers series which covered all 3 games and spanned about 6 months. Started by Grasshopper and finished by Mark Levin. Many other folks chipped in with their observations and speculations.
I would have to go back and check who came up with the actual "Tour of Duty" title.
