Of the three Marathon games in the trilogy, which one do you think has the best plot, map design, enemies, and is overall the best? My favorite is probably Infinity.

Im talking about the original Marathon trilogy by Bungie (Marathon 1, Marathon: Durandal and Infinity). Im not talking about the fan-made ones.

I enjoy Marathon 2: Durandal the most out of the trilogy.
Its just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. Then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?

What is "Marathon: Rod"? I couldn't find a page of it on wikipedia. At first I thought you meant "Marathon: Red". :/

M2, hands down. I don't like playing in the dark.

on a side note, I've come to the conclusion that I love RubiconX to death. and I just( I mean like 5 seconds ago) beat all the planks.
Cheers to the foggy goodness that is, and will be always, Rubicon!

If the mouse controls weren't as wonky on the original marathon, and the M1A1 port didn't feel "different" then I'd say M1. But I liked M2 the best overall as it stood.

Probably Marathon 1, I just liked the atmosphere and sprites better i guess. Plus it started it all.
