Boo scarypharaoh Well-Known Member Aug 26, 2009 889 0 16 Medical Professional With Carmen Sandiego #5 scarypharaoh, Jul 7, 2011 Sorry, but that is a ridiculus comment. r10k Well-Known Member Oct 28, 2009 176 1 18 #6 r10k, Jul 7, 2011 Yeah, very stupid. Any chance of this on the iPhone in the future? NeoTrunks Well-Known Member Feb 26, 2009 56 0 6 #7 NeoTrunks, Jul 7, 2011 This is nice. How much more extra space does the high resolution texture pack take up? Also, are there any plans to include an option to invert the vertical aiming? vidmaster Active Member Nov 23, 2010 25 1 3 #8 vidmaster, Jul 7, 2011 The textures are included in the download, just not enabled. If I get more requests for inverted aiming, I'd be happy to add it!

I bought MC IAP, and I am going to get the HD version. Is there a chance of there being a multiplayer or not? Great job. Oh, and if you do make multiplayer, you could make it an IAP. Magnum0ik Well-Known Member Jun 2, 2011 601 0 0 Insurance Broker Portsmouth, England #11 Magnum0ik, Jul 7, 2011 I saw this mentioned a few weeks ago. Wasn't expecting it to be free !!!!!! I have picked up. Not played before (as I dont own a Mac) but heard it is good so will give it a go. May also opt for the HD version. r10k Well-Known Member Oct 28, 2009 176 1 18 #12 r10k, Jul 7, 2011 Cool, thanks Daniel. Nice to know it'll arrive eventually. vidmaster Active Member Nov 23, 2010 25 1 3 #13 vidmaster, Jul 7, 2011 Multiplayer would be great, looking into it may take some significant work. We'll see.

I don't have an iPad, so I didn't download the app. I started playing Marathon in 1994... I even made maps for it. Heh, I remember when I first saw the demo online. I didn't download it right away. I was like, "I don't care about a running game." Is this an unofficial project or is Bungie involved? Maybe the existence of this app will help motivate Microsoft to port Halo to iOS BazookaTime Well-Known Member Sep 30, 2009 5,340 1 36 Kansas http://www.paulmcraelind.com #15 BazookaTime, Jul 7, 2011 I am really surprised how smoothly this plays. I bought the MC mode which is awesome, however can someone list what each symbol in that mode means? I know the last is save. Raptor25 Well-Known Member Dec 3, 2008 169 0 0 #16 Raptor25, Jul 7, 2011 If its at all within possibility, for future updates this game desperately needs a feature where you can drag the fire button to aim while firing, and then it resets when you release. This is how most new FPS on the iPad function and it makes aiming far more fluid, which would be very important in Marathon as the enemies do not really stand still for you like some games. Aside from that complaint, the game ran buttery smooth well done. ZildjianKX Well-Known Member Nov 23, 2008 143 0 16 #17 ZildjianKX, Jul 7, 2011 How so? I can't be bummed that the game I spent my youth playing as a multiplayer game doesn't have multiplayer? vidmaster Active Member Nov 23, 2010 25 1 3 #18 vidmaster, Jul 7, 2011 (sorry for the un-intuitive symbols, what you get for zero budget!)

I hadn't thought of this scheme, might be useful. However, ammo is scarce so you'd have to be careful. Did you try "Tap to Shoot" in the settings? Best, -dan Raptor25 Well-Known Member Dec 3, 2008 169 0 0 #20 Raptor25, Jul 7, 2011 Wow I really don't know how I missed that. Yeah that works in a pretty similar way and definitely helps me a lot, thanks. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
