Bungie to revive Marathon?

Attachment 6657Marathon is relatively easy to forget amidst other classic shooters such as Wolfenstein and Doom, but it was a landmark title that continues to lead a massive following. Rumors surfaced in 2007 of Bungie reviving the title and pushing forward with a modern remake, yet not much more has been said since. Until now, that is. Bungie have re-registered the Marathon trademark, as of today. Keep your eyes and ears peeled, as we might just get a related announcement sometime this year.

Bungie has filed a new trademark registration for Marathon. [superannuation]

oh man, fucking awesome Those games were so friggin good - the sound, the designs, story, characters, etc etc. even the graphics were good for the time

hope the Marathon:Evil mod team rears their ugly heads too - that mod was so damned scary.

pretty sure marathon was the first FPS with dual shottys and civilians - "Frog Blast The Vent Core!"

Just in case people might have missed it when I posted free games a while ago.

The Trilogy Release

I played through marathon original on the mac, so maybe I should go through and play the other two on pc.
