: As for other enemies, some more 'clever' behavior would be neat. For
: instance, in the original Marathon, none of the enemies took advantage of
: cover. It would be neat if at least Troopers, Hunters, Enforcers, and so
: on actively sought cover to fire from. And the AI for BoBs should
: definitely be more complicated - BoBs should team up to take down enemies,
: and there should be more varieties of them (such as Assault Rifle BoBs
: like in Rubicon).
: Oh yeah, definitely. I'm with all of this except for the bit about sprites.
: Good 3D models would be really cool. Maybe they could even have a feature
: where you can change visual modes and switch from 3D models over to newer,
: cleaner versions of the old sprites (just as long as they're not based on
: the XBLA monsters - those looked absolutely awful).
I actually liked the XBLA sprites but they didn't fit the actual port. they kept clipping in front of one another which made For carnage, apply within even more annoying. it made me feel a bit queasy looking at them then due to Freeverse's engine being full 3D and just trying to ape the original Vulcan 2.
The XBLA sprites fit Aleph One better as it stayed 2.5D and they look a little like the old M1 sprites (the S'pht, troopers, juggernauts and fighters anyway) whereas the old M2 sprites were choppier and less well detailed than the M1 sprites which looked nearly perfect, pixelations upon close inspection aside.
Even so, classic mode should be M1's sprites as a compromise to those who don't like the XBLA ones. (again, a plugin can be included for those who do)
Why not have audio between Marcus (I still call him that because it may not actually be his name but it's easier to say than The cyborg or The SO all the time, much like Flynn Taggert as the Doomguy) and other terminal users as an optional feature like a reverse of subtitles: it isn't on by default but it can help the visually impaired and those who have trouble reading.
You're right, DLC sucks. Expansions like opposing Force half life and Doom resurrection of evil are okay so long as they test the engine limits better than the originals do and/or offer more original content on top of the others, much like shareware games with non shareware sequels of old like Doom or ROTT. (ROTT was the expansion pack EROTT instead of an actual sequel though)
Anything else must be already included with the game itself as optional side areas or unlockable by beating the game on different difficulty's a-la Strife and Perfect Dark.
