In Response To: The 5 D's (MacGuyver)

: It is 5 Dimensional Space. Those 5 dimensions are:
: 1) Height
: 2) Width
: 3) Depth
: 4) Time
: 5) Polygon

I was under the impression that the name was derived from the fact that the Marathon engine is 2.5D (that's the technical name for a not-quite true 3d engine like 'thon or Doom), and 5D space is 2.5D space, twice (i.e. 2x2.5D space in one place=5D)

That makes more sense, eh?
