Unknown, though it an OZONE may have eventually merged to become Marathon.

I don't know...while it's no longer an issue for me, I don't think it's fair to leave people that can't afford really good (or even semi-ok) graphics cards out in the cold...

Obviously, you haven't played mouse and keyboard on Marathon Infinity 1.5 with Inputsprocket...otherwise, you probably wouldn't say this...

(Actually, I think M2 and Infinity 1.2 had fine mouse control too...maybe that means I just have more skill than you (j/k))

Hmm, FM, quite possibly one of the greatest Bungie gamers of all time, would have something to say about that...

It probably won't, as B West has reported thus far.

Yes it is.

A dark ANIME world of conspiricy ;)

I believe it was reported that in-game cut scenes are being made by the same company that did the animation for Bubblegum Crisis (and the myth series?)

Well, I don't know about that other stuff, but hopefully, Bungie will be able to crush M$ very soon...>:)
