The less than a second latency of online play is a better system to play off of than more health.
You realize this system is just as host based, right? because if you're fighting host, or someone with a better connection to host, and you each start firing at the same time, his BULLETS will register first, giving him slightly more health if the melees happen at the same time.
So would you rather have the BS of both, or just one?

Woah, woah, woah WTF?
This is cool and all but shouldn't they first release the original marathon game?
I recall they did something like this with either durandal or infinity releasing only that and not the first one for PC and players didn't take to the story becuase of the lack of the first half (in terms of durandel pieced with it) (or well, nvm I suppose you don't need to play either of the other games to understand, or not understand Infinity).
Does that mean that only already well versed marathon players will follow the story completely or is this some incredibly odd way to get people to Dl the free versions of the game online for their PCs and MACs?
Or am I missing something and did they happen to already release the first Marathon game for xbox?
If the cost is low enough then I might consider buying this but I've played these games quite a few times as it is so there is not much to motivate me to check this out. An up to date and high speed capable multi player has some attraction but I primarily love Marathon for the story not the game play as much, other wise I would have quit after that string of oxygen less levels with hardly an oxygen refill point in them.
Oh god was that in Durandal? If so they had better made that easier as there is no way in hell about 80% of players will have the determination to deal with that. Painful memories.
EDIT:
Other than my above stated thoughts i have to say that it looks beautiful. Nice work there.
