In Response To: Re: Tempus Irae - Mapmaker's Map? (Steve Levinson)

: I never suggested a volunteers series on EMR for the simple reason that it's
: not set in the Marathon Universe. It in essense is a game based on the
: legend of Camelot, with futuristic elements as well, that just happens to
: use the MI game engine. I do not think that it would be appropriate to
: discuss it here because it shares no story elements with Marathon.

True, I had completely forgotten that part and you're right that it doesn't belong on the list.

: My biggest complaint is with the music -
: it's all ambient and pervasive, and there's no way to turn it off. This of
: course was before AO, so M1-style level music was not an option.
: Pfh'Joueur, on the other hand, employed ambient music very well - it is
: subtle and appropriate to the mood - just right.

IMO no scenario has ever done music well outside of Marathon 1, for the simple reason that a quirk of the engine will reset any ambient sounds when you switch in or out of map view. Simple ambience loops are not adversely affected by this, but it really ruins the effect when the interrupted sound is music.
