Hmmm... Not sure where to post this. Saw "Oldschool Games" and figure this was the best shot.

Here's a sneak peak of a possible poster idea for the non-existant Marathon 4 project from Bungie. Dare to dream... (beat that dead horse, beat that dead horse...)

http://home.earthlink.net/~martinezlrc/images/M4_Poster/M4_Po ster_Title_Mockup_Small_72ppi.jpg

The reason it's a work in progress is because I'm currently trying to decide whether it's worth it to spend the $39 to get the actual Modula Tall font used in the official Marathon title. The title in this preview is just a mockup made from the font map the makers of the font, Emigre, offer on their website. http://www.emigre.com/dp/getfontpage.php?PTalMO.html At a higher res picture (such as a printable poster you'd make at Kinkos to hang up on your wall) of this mockup the title would look terrible. But remember, WIP. I'll eventually buy the font and then offer the full poster (4MB in size in JPG format). You can print this out on an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper and have a mini-poster though even though you won't be able to see the smaller print featured in the bigger poster.

I think he's just dreamin'.

You're pic doesn't work by the way, might want to host it on something else.

It does. The automatic text wrapping the forums do just screws up the link. Delete the %20 in "Title%20_Mockup" and there you have it.

Ach! Was ist los?

Copy & paste it into a new window and delete the "%20" bit.

Very nice job. Mac, PC, and XBox? I wish it could be so.

--Sgt. Smith thinks the font might be a good investment.

Ah, a remake of the Marathon series would be bliss :). Unfortunately considering the quality of Halo 2 I'm afraid Bungie might shmuck it up. Still, if they stuck to their roots, the Marathon community could be in heaven.

Point 1: Bumping is against the rules, I don't want to see more locked topics, especially when they're cool like this one.

Point 2: Awesome.

Oh, oops. I saw it die so quickly and I'm used to bumping in other forums. But then again it's not really a problem in the other forums I visit. Does it really get out of hand here? I apologize again.

I don't want to get off on the wrong foot here. Marathon and Bungie are one of my few favorite things in life and it would suck if I couldn't enjoy it because of some boneheaded action on my part.
