Suffice to say that sometime, a moderator is going to end this account permenantly.

Very cool.

But.

I heard that Halo 3 will be running at 30 fps, yet Marathon: Durandal XBLA will be running at 60?!? How does that work, have I recieved false information? It just seems strange that a redone arcade game will have twice the frame rate as the long awaited console game, Halo 3.

EDIT: Im still definetely going to be picking both of them up. XP

All over the ship, dancing through the wreckage
of the Pfhor computer core,

DURANDAL WAS LAUGHING

God, I can't wait.

Release date please?

(This is the one thing that I'm looking forward to besides Halo 3 and Beautiful Katamari :D)

Marathon was the best...

Whoo Hooo.... Marathon was my first first person shooter back when I had a Mac. It was awesome. The question is will the game still be beatable by only using your fists. Good ole strafe right, strafe left, punch punch, retreat, punch punch...

Frog blast the ventcore...

because if seeing is believing,
then believe that we have lost our eyes

Can't wait to play! See you guys online.

Seeing as Freeverse is bringing the game to XBLA and not Bungie, it should have no impact on Halo 3's development.

Can't wait! Though I'm still new to the Marathon series (stuck on Level 9 of Marathon >_<) I still love the series and can't wait to play the updated version of the second.

Now the only question is...when?
