Oh Please Oh Please Oh Please, pt 1: Marathon may be coming back
By Corey TamasMarch 19, 2010, 10:00 am PT
Now that it looks like the golden era of Halo is beginning to recede into the sunset, there’s some speculation – and evidence – that they may be planning a return to their roots … in the form of a new Marathon game. Apparently Bungie filed a new trademark application for “Marathon”; not exactly conclusive evidence, but it carries the whiff of possibilities. You youngins need to understand: When veteran Mac gamers aren’t busy sitting on their patio and yelling at neighborhood kids to get off their lawn, they’ll tell you a tale about the days when Mac first-person-shooters were actually better than the fare offered on Windows and, when they do, they’ll mention the Marathon series. Could this trademark application signify Bungie’s return as the golden child of Mac gaming?

Best. Game Ever. On. Mac. "See ya, starside!"
And put it on Steam!
Oh yes please indeed.
"Frog blast the vent core!"
Oh, yeah. I'd be up for a Marathon resurrection.
Great memories. Just one problem, it's not the same Bungie. Do you think that the Mac will get a version or will it be strictly Xbox 360 for about a year and then we get a lame port. That's what happens when you sellout to Microsoft for a boatload of cash. Although it was a pretty big boat…….
Guess you missed the memo. Microsoft no longer owns Bungie, and they are glad to be out from under that particluar taskmaster's agenda. You can bet Macs are in the future! Why else even bother with Marathon when they already bring you a well-established (if graying – except for The Beard of course) user base?B)
Fair question. Good question. But I have to say that I do almost all of my gaming on my 360 and keep my Mac for work and personal use.
Mac gaming died to me years ago.
you've all missed the point – what we need is Marathon for iPhone / iPad
woohoo!
