Do you know the name of the level? We could give you more help, but anyway. No, you're not retarded or an idiot. Marathon can be very confusing and frustrating at times (flashback to that accursed room in Defend This!) Likely there is some hidden thing that you could be missing, or a combination of switches. Since I'm new to Marathon myself, I don't know the exact area you are refering to, but try looking over any maps and info at nearby terminals. Oh and if you really, REALLY want to jump, use your MA-75B to grenade jump, as there is no jump button.

Oh. That's in Marathon 2: Durandal. I haven't played M2 yet. Sorry. Maybe someone else can help more than me. Try this site:

http://marathon.bungie.org/spoiler/m2/2.shtml

But be warned that this is a spoiler guide, so it's more like reading a strategy guide than having the satisfaction of doing something yourself. Go there if you get stuck, but only then.

Sounds like a glitch to me. I'm not exactly sure where you are, but i don't remember that level being especially complex, so i would say restarting.

And no, there is no jumping, except for pointing a grenade launcher at your feet and hoping.

You forgot pointing a Spnkr at your neet, although it's less safe.

Much less safe.
