Marathon World

Marathon World is a small modification of Marathon Infinity on the Aleph One engine.
The aim is to bring Marathon's multiplayer mode up to date and on-par with multiplayer games like Unreal Tournament and Quake 3.
The game is standalone and is playable on Mac OS X, Linux and Windows 95-7.

Current list of achievable goals

* Weapons will be re-balanced
* Custom online maps to replace the original
* New textures and props
* HUD redesign to fit modern standards (XBLA HUD is temporary)
* HD sprites never seen in Marathon before such as grasses and plants

The future

* Different weapons and overall graphics
* Player sprite graphics re-drawn

As it is built on the Aleph One engine; Multiplayer is already fully playable, however, the master server requires a login if you would like an online player name.

Design principles for level archetecture will be Marathon/Halo inspired (Seeing as some of Halo 3's maps are just remakes of Marathon maps but with random props placed in the center, you could pretty much say in-door layouts based on Marathon, outdoors based on Halo)

Somewhere in the heavens... they are waiting.

Textured 2.5D world, this is the test level.
 
Cool move on this game! Say, will this have balanced amount of characters by gender? Apparently, this game, judgin' the shots, well... it reminds me of Terminator Salvation mobile game for Sony Ericcson.

The character designs will stay how they are in the shots as the game is about Marathon's multiplayer aspect, so the characters will all be the Marathon security MJOLNIR-IV cyborgs (Look up Halo 3's "Security" armour for a modernised version of this character design).
