Marathon doesn't feel quite as linear to a newcomer as Halo feels. It takes some getting used to. I'd suggest you pick up Aleph One!

I jumped onto Bungie's fan-wagon with Halo so a lot of the Marathon links and references I oftentimes never see or make the connection to. A+ for the thread.[/quote]
