Honestly, I think Rubicon is considered "Marathon IV" by now. It's a must-have classic that does not break the atmosphere of the originals, yet adds a certain ambiance of its own, and plays out like a seamless continuation of the series.

In other words, I suggest a retitling.

I am working on a prequel, and it's likely that a "side-story" type of scenario would be fine, but a true sequel is determined by committee... In this case, the Marathon community.
Also, Durandal Vs Tycho is the WEAKEST possible title to a "Sequel" of Marathon.
I just don't know how anyone could justify calling a scenario called "Durandal Vs Tycho", constructed by a complete unknown, using almost all submissions, and priding itself on a rather poorly constructed title screen, an official sequel to one of the greatest and most innovative FPS titles of all time.

This is not a troll scenario. I have been recruited onto the project and it will be the greatest Marathon Scenario ever made.

Did this thread just divide by zero? Everyone left and right is becoming a troll or being named one.

At any rate, this is a very odd thread. I do not advocate that this scenario be titled Marathon IV

That'd be neat if you could help, durandal. I haven't seen heads or tails of master chief in weeks but he has expressed he's welcome to all the help he can get.

Oh, and the name's changing from Marathon IV, thankfully. The working title we have now is Battle of the AIs.

Sounds great! Can't wait for this to come out.

(Hopper, I spent a while wondering what FTFY was. I stopped wondering when i saw you changed the quote. Was that directed at me?)

Sorry, we have been away awhile trying to come up with better designs, and we have updated our photobucket account with new pics and designs. @ durandal I have not visited my thread in a while and did not realize you wanted to help. If you want to help that would be fine, but lets see if you like the story outline first; so, here goes nothing. The game starts off billions of years in the future at the end of marathon infinity on the Jjaro station, but the marathon man unknowingly is in another dimension. As he explores the station he finds a jump pad that durandal contacts him at and tells him to come back to the marathon. Once he is there he notices a difference that is oddly familiar to him, and yet he doesn't know what it is; but we will leave this for you to speculate, and if you take a look at the images at the link in the first post I'm sure you will know what we are hinting at. And sorry but if some of you don't like the idea of the story or the concepts well we just can't spend the time redoing them because we already have done it too many times to try to please you. And @ durandal if you truly would like to help, if you could and don't mind to could you give us some details on the game you are currently working on to see if we can collaborate if you have any questions OR comments just feel free to post.

Well um not too sure we will have to see what durandal347 wants to do first then we will try to make a demo as soon as we can keep in mind the more people like our new stuff the faster we will get stuff done so everyone can try it.

@Master_Chief: Are you trying to say that the Nazis succeeded in using the alein's dream powers to take over the world? Obviously it's spoilers so don't tell... I'm just speculating here, and it's such a controversial, sensitive decision.

hm.... United Nazi Aerospace Division?
