I realize that Halo and the Xbox are making tons of money for Bungie, but I am a gamer that believes Bungie should return to it's roots, and give all it's very long-time (10 year) fans and gamers a treat, and revise, or add on to what I think is the greatest sci-fi game series ever made.
Marathon.

Drop me a line at, thecrimson_fighter@yahoo.com, and tell me why, or why not. Maybe we can ask very politley(?) and get something going.

Or, tell me here.

Nobody except the old Bungie fans would buy Marathon. And I'd say about .0001% of Bungie's current fanbase existed in the pre-Halo days

Sad but true, that is. Marathon = roxxorz.

I would love to see even a remake, I think it would be so kickass in full 3D with beautiful graphics - but it would be a sleeper hit with the pre-Halo niche. Besides, to me at least Halo is a simpler Marathon.

To me, Halo is Marathon with less plot, simpler maps and a crappie assault rifle. It would be fun to see the plot-lines converge. Cortana is Durandal's illegitimate daughter!?

Master Chief meets Security Officer! Friend or foe?

Hmm... A security officer MC team/rivalry would be really cool. Plus, it would be easy to do using the Eternal Mark V storyline to incorporate the Security Officer.

I voted for only marathon 2. I think that while infinity is fun, 2 was a much better game.
