Do you remember the time when "Doom" was released for the PC?
At exactly the same time a cool FPS-shooter got released for the Mac. It was called "Marathon". It was developed
by the worldknown "Bungie", which currently are developing "Halo". Much in the same way "Halo" is superior to
"Tribes 2", "Marathon" was superior to "Doom", eventhough they were released simultaneously.
"Marathon" offered 22kHz-16-Bit-Sounds, 32-Bit-colour, a motionsensor, a real good and thrilling story,
640*480-resolution..., while Doom had 8-Bit-colour, 320*240-resolution, no story...
"Marathon" offered not only a great single-player-experience, but also superb multiplayer-fun over lan: Deathmatch, King-of-the-hill and much more.
"Marathon" was the single-most-played-game on the macside, even today. Unfortunately Marathon was developed
at a time before 3dfx had their Voodoo1 ready, and as such is only 2.5-dimensional.
Therefore a group of people came together and formed the "Marathon-Ressurection-Team".
They want to recreate the complete single-player-experience and multiplayer-fun of Marathon in Unreal-Tournament, with everything included: The marathon-weapons, which by the way are much better than current weapons, the sounds, the maps, the aliens, the motionsensor, the thrilling story...
They have two Unreal-Scripters, some designers, skinners, mappers, soundartists, texture-artists, webmasters,
but they still need some experienced Unreal-Script-coders to help out in recreating the marathon-weapons:
rocketlauncher, alien-weapons, phasers, machineguns/granadethrowers, flamethrowers, sawed shotguns,...
It would be great if some of the Agent-X-coders or the U4ever-coder joined them to help them out with the
weapons. The AgentX- or U4ever-weapons could be easily modified and retextured and reskinned to form 3/4 of the
marathon-weapons.
To all other potential coders:
Trust me, everyone helping out with this cool TC-mod will be immortal among the macusers. The macusers will sing
the songs of your actions even after hell is frozen. You will be famous for resurrecting the coolest game made by
Bungie.
If you are interested post here in this thread and also in the forum of the "Marathon-Ressurection-Site", which is hosted by planetunreal:

They have redesigned their website.
