    Hey as I've seen some peoples Bungie.net stats, and played with some people in TGIF that have the Jjaro Terminal nameplate for Reach from Marathon:Durandal i was wondering if anybody played that game still. I just bought the game on XBLA and was wondering if anybody wanted to set up a game on Xbox or on the original games for PC (not Mac).

    You can get Marathon:Durandal for XBLA here
    It costs 800 MS points, or if your hesitant, download the free demo.

    The original Marathon games can be found here
    They are all freeware and completely legal.

    So PM me if you want to set up a game or post the time and your GT in a reply. I advise you play the games that preceded Halo.

    I have it. I have yet to complete the campaign even though I bought the game years ago on account of I'm lost. I'll play with you, though.

    I have it as well, though I haven't played in ages. I would play an occasional game when I'm on similar to Security here. Can't you do something rediculous like eight player coop? I dunno, it's been too long. Regardless, I would play with you. GT: That Scorch Guy, timezone EST.

    PS: The Marathon nameplate is the bestest.

    I have every Marathon title ever released for the PC. Including Red, Evil and Rubicon.

    Red

    Evil

    Last and the best in my opinion as it has some crazy good graphics, is very long, and well put together: RubiconX

    Keep in mind those three are fan made games, they are not official canon, I believe they were attempted to be set in the same universe and Rubicon is 'attached' to the original storyline (if I remember correctly). They use the Marathon: Infinity engine, so they will look similar. Evil and Red, I recommend you play it at night, by yourself, alone. Good times. One of those two, I don't remember which, I have not beaten the first level as it is extraordinarily confusing, frustrating and difficult.

    If you've beaten Marathon, Durandal and Infinity, I suggest you start with Rubicon. Highly suggest.

    Have fun.
