Poll: The Halo Before Halo

Where's the option for "I play it daily"? I need that option on there.

You ever been here?: http://source.bungie.org/index.php/Main_Page

I currently have 12 scenarios in my dock menu.

12! I only have the normal 3 (you know durandle and such), eternal, rubicon, and thats it. Hmm, i should check that page out

I don't know if all of them are up any more. I've got the big 3 of course. Rubicon X, Eternal X, I think EVIL is still up. I'm trying to beat it now. I'm pretty sure The Gray Incident is still up. Tempus Irae and RED are probably still up too. Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge and its prequel Devil in a Blue Dress are a little different. EMR doesn't even require a copy of Aleph one, and I think I had to search hard to find DiaBD, which does. Also there's Portal of Sigma. It had apparently been in the works since 2006 or something. It's vaporware now, but the first chapter (a hefty 11 levels) is up for download and it's a lot of fun, but I think that one also required some searching around.

Thanks, ill look them up. I tried RED before, I died a lot. I don't think I got past the first combat level.....It is a hard game

Frist of all, Wolfenstien 3D had a story line, dual Wielding is for people with weak weapons who cant aim, DOOM had atmosphere, being the music fits great, and even though there wasnt MUCH oxygen on Mars, and Reloading is for double barrel shotguns only.

I mean a real, fleshed out storyline with diologue. Wolfenstien 3D did not really have a storyline, or a very good one for that matter. Marathon had a different style of atmosphere then DOOM, it was more suspense and paranoia based. I really don't know what you are talking about on the reloading part, but none of the other games had reloading, ala your character had to put in a new clip on every gun after they ran out. And duelwielding was awsome in marathon because it doubled the power of the pistols and YOU COULD DUELWEILD SHOTGUNS!!!! (and not like in MW2)

yes, heard of it, played it, it was okay, but there are a few other cult like marathon lovers out there who are just as vocal about their hate and love for everything outside of marathon so yes, i believe the point has been smashed into my face figuratively more than enough times.

Fanboys of any kind suck. But there is a reason for the fanboyism as the game was pretty innovative and fun at its time. That doesn't mean that DOOM or any other FPS from that time was bad, just not as "game-changing"

You should probably read the rest of the thread, he edited it from Microsucks. Fail.

marathon is a great game, and all the halo fans have it to thank for the series that halo has become. Probably gonna get burned for this comment though...
