In Response To: Re: don't forget Marathon: RED (Steve Levinson)

: Damn hard, like Rubicon???? Granted, it's been quite a while since I played
: Red and I'm much more skilled, now, but I couldn't get beyond the first
: level on "Deathwish", and couldn't finish the final level on
: "Normal" in Red. By comparison, Rubicon was a snap - I've played
: both planks through multiple times on TC, including the secret levels.

I found several of the levels in Rubicon especially difficult, especially the dream level in vacuum which was I think after the level underwater in the shuttle bay (with those irritating Troopers that had homing grenades...) I'm just thankful that those floating white balls of light don't come after you, as was intended in the original version of the level.

: Is there something I'm missing here? I'll be the first to admit that Marathon
: Red is a truly great scenario with one of the greatest tricks in the
: entire Marathon Universe (changing sides), but it's devilishly difficult.
: Is there a trick to getting through other than throttling back the
: difficulty level?

I think there are films of someone vidding all of RED, but I'm not sure. Come to think of it, I don't think anyone's ever vidded RED. I suppose you could do what I did--swallow your pride and break out the Infinity Game Wimp. :)
