Over the months I've heard alot aboot Marathon, some game I never heard of before these forums. What console is it for? Is it similer to Halo? What is a basic one or two sentence discription of the storyline?

This is actually funny, cause the avatar your using is the marathon symbol. Basicly Marathon, if i am correct was one of Bungie's first and biggest games. Their are aparently some similarities between both games, but i dont know any.

Well, I didn't know it was a marathon symbol I picked it because it's red like Canada.

...Console?
...Story?

Oooooooooooooooooh, that's why I havn't seen marathon before. Sorry, I don't do computwer games. My computer sucks and I can't use a mouse and keyboard. Also installing and taking like 5 min. to pop up when you put it in gets annoying.

...sorry all you pc gamers.

Ok, I don't need your help any more.

What is a basic one or two sentence discription of the storyline?

which storyline? there are four main stories I see in it:
1.Actual action: the actual happenings on the marathon, and then in marathon 2 and infinity, L'ohwon and the asteroid and boomer and all that stuff.
2.Who are they? yeah. you spend a large amount of time trying to figure out who the hell the other charachters are (especially tycho and durandal), what they want, and where exactly their loyalties lie
3.Who are you? you spend an equal amount of time trying to figure out who the hell you are. are you the 10th MkIV MJOLNIR Cyborg? or not? are you even human? why do you seemingly follow every order without question? and why can you switch loyalties so much seemingly without any qualms (M:I mostly)? Who are you?
4.What happened? You kinda have to piece together historical data throughout the whole game. and even then there are unanswered questions.

Marathon is ten years old, your computer can handle it. Use a gamepad then. You don't have to install it.

Yeah, if it pixilates, play it, if it moves, shoot it, if it glows and shakes, stay away from it.

If you have the Marathon 2 CD, stick it in your CD player and listen to the track after the themesong music...
