Dude, it would be so cool if we had these pregnant sentinels that were, like, all flaming and shot out baby flaming sentinels that would be all "YARRRGH!" then they'd be like, "WHAAAAR" when they shoot.

That'd be sweet.

I'm a big fan of video games and I mostly play only the big name titles.
But when I go to forums of Time splitters 2, 007, homeworld, and other Official forums but none have I seen such an elaborate site than what bungie has, now I know you all think I'm sucking up to bungie, well i'm not, the reason I made this post is because a while ago I was posting questions I had about different questions about different games on there official forums, what I received was flames, spam, and some wishbone salad dressing spokesman that said he was the best splinter cell gamer out there and I wasn't welcome around the forum.

Until I asked questions about marathon on this forum, I looked back and I saw the strangest thing! Well let's see, i'm not embarrassed or insulted so it cant be a flame.
The response seems to make sense and doesn't come in a can, so it cant be spam.
OMG! it's an answer! a real life answer! and it makes sense! and the best part was, no wishbone spokesman!!!

I find the this forum much more freindly, and all the spammer's get blocked.
Just how big is bungie?
has to be big to be maintain such an elaborate site while making one of the best games of all time.

to reward you all, this was supposed to be part of another one of my posts but I'll say it now.
In Marathon 1, on the levels with out save terminals, such as the last level.
just turn around you start out. one of the walls is actually a save terminal. sorry if any one has already posted this.

And has anyone heard of the M1 level "a good way to die"?

I especially like that 7B machine like thing that scrolls the site down on the lower right hand corner.

Just thought I'd say that.

POINT: you see, if I were on any other forum, they would say that I should shove it and I would be booted out by their corrupt moderators.

I exagerated that part about the corrupt mods, most forums dont have mods and that's why theirs so much spam on other forums.

The forums of xbox.com uesd to be good until the mods were overrun with spammers two years ago, they couldn't kick out the spammers because half the majority of the forum members were spammers.
So they gave up.

things have calmed down since then.
but if any of you were a member of xbox game forums two years ago you know what I'm talking about.

It doesn't have forums, but the Doom 3 website is pretty cool, in my opinion. There's a crappy site, which just features a few screenshots, and then there's the Flash site. The Flash site has pictures, desktops, and a sample of the really good Doom 3 metal theme song. It's true that the site doesn't have too much info on the game itself, but it's got a really cool design, with satanic symbols and spooky noises. I think it's pretty cool, and certainly looks better than this site (no offense), but it just doesn't have enough info, and is one of those sites that most people will only visit once.

Flash is cheating though, you can slap together all kinda elaborate sounds and stuff in flash and it doesnt matter to anyone viewing it unless they are the poor blighter stuck on the end on dailup waiting for some twonks idea of a 5MB webpage to load (I've seen ppl do it, wish they would be shot). Meanwhile though, I have to admit I do love how this site functions, partically that 7B bar thing as everyone keeps going on about, and which I would so love to know how they did it, speaking from my hobby side of playing with sites. Its just an amazing bit of design :)

True, I like this forum as well. Even though places like New Mombasa are infested with spammers, I still get almost all of my questions answered here, one of the few places.

P.S. - I recently decided to get Marathon, and so I have all the files, and I've extracted them. Now I'm supposed to drag all of the files in the AlephOne folder to the Marathon folder, right? However, some files have the same name, and I don't want to copy over them, or rename them for fear of making it not work. What am I supposed to do?

Forum Rules.
FAQ.
I'm certifiable.

As bad as new Mombasa is (and it ain't good) I've seen far worse elsewhere.

Oh, and about installing M1A1, Rip's guide is probably the best resource for those questions. Tons of FAQ links in there, if the initial post doesn't already answer your question.

-- Steve's glad to see the renewal of interest in Marathon.

I checked there, but all he said was to copy the AlephOne files into the Marathon directory, but I don't want to copy anything over something else. That's my problem. And I want to play it so bad! I mean, it's Bungie!

Oh, and I'm thinking about Myth too. Is that still available? Where, and what's it like?

xbox.com has forums, one for each game.

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

The reason for the lac of flames etc. is because of the awesome mods/members at this site that make it the way it is.

I like to call in and coordinate Mod strikes myself.
