Marathon?
Isn't that, the old game with monster that have bardiches? Yes it is. And what's
this then??
It's a conversion you dumb ass :). Even thoe I only played Marathon once on a
friends old Macintosh,
I think Marathon is a killer game. But this conversion isn't. Why? well if you
wanna know read on.
OK at first I have to say I HATE the scoring system. When you die, you
loose a frag! maybe you like this
but to me this is unacceptable. I hate it and I'll never come over it. Cause when
you play, and you get
some kills you'll loose them seconds later! it's like jumping out in space on
DM-Morpheus. The best score
I had while playing was -2... I don't want to be below the zero!! and the bots...
they had -30.
So my TIP to you: Don't run with Frag Limit on Marathon|Rampancy!
And after I had tried this "Stash!" gameplay, I choosed "Free For
All". I have to say that I didn't know
that "Free For All" meant "Play Deathmatch on all maps (DM, CTF,
DOM, AS, SW)". But apparently it did.
And if you choose other maps than DM, it will use normal UT settings and weapons!
NOT the Marathon|Rampancy weapons
or settings! But
if you choose a DM map you'll have a hell
of a time! I couldn't' notice any difference between "Stash!" and "Free
For All" on a DM map,
So I wonder what "Stash!" is... Well you have to find out on your own
cause I don't really care :)
So what is good with this Marathon|Rampancy?
Well to say the part I liked the most was the KICK-ASS
akimbo shotguns! but all the weapons are really cool in this game. Akimbo guns,
SMG, Flame-thrower
and more to fulfill your Marathon experience! And other good things in this game?
Well... none...
The sounds pretty much suck. I mean SUCK. They annoy me to hell! like whenever
somebody dies,
(man or woman) you'll hear a scream: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!! I HATE IT! It's in
a high tone and annoying!
And also it's a male's voice only, no women voices has screamed or taunted anything
when I played. annoying!
Another thing is the gravity, It ruins gravity maps like DM-Morpheus. otherwise...
nah, It's cool and fun :)
Also the fact that you can't duck annoys me. The damage system is an interesting
topic. It's somewhere between
Tactical-Ops and Infiltration. This makes AS maps and some CTF maps really fail
in gameplay.
So why should download this game? Well.......... umm...... The Weapons!!! The
weapons are so KICK-ASS!
And the bots simply rocks.
