Title: Marathon: Durandal
Post by: abrader on September 29, 2007, 05:03:11 PM

So does the pace of this game ever change?

Right now I seem to warp around to alot of different areas alot killing, hitting switches etc...kinda hexxen feeling but I cant tell how the areas are tied together because of all of the teleporting.

Its creepy strange and does remind me of the Halo architecture present in the XBOX games. I love the robotic computer dungeon look/feel of this and Halo 1-3 segments...

I click on all f those terminals but i dont ever really read them all...they are ok but kinda boring.

not a very popular game.

Holy hell it is getting hard on me now...im in new areas with armored enemies that look more like modern day covenant with laser rifles...

It is an oldschool FPS, that's what you get.  I still swear that there are blatantly impossible levels in late game Doom 2.

I actually don't remember how well I did in Doom 2 but I remember getting my ass handed to me in Operation Bodycount and Corridor 7.  Those were not games, they were beat-downs.  I think I still might have the disks for them somewhere.

I thought Doom II was easier than all three chapters of Doom 1

The enemies in this game fire visible dodgable projectiles early on, and then later things like machine gun bursts where if you are within line of sight when they fire - you get hit - there is nothing to dodge.

I wish eople would play it coop on XBL .Id like to try a 4 player party.
