Marathon Infinity Status

Learn the the truth about the events of Marathon® and Marathon: Durandal® first hand in "Blood Tides of Lh’owon", the single player portion of Infinity. - "Carnage is as easy as point and shoot".  "I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use Caps Lock as my 'run' key, and to never, ever, leave a single Bob alive".  It is when your brain develops a new bundle of nerves whose only function is to re-route impulses directly from your eyes to your finger muscles, so that you can twist and snap off a rocket long before you’re conscious of the yellow blip in your motion detector.  The word "vid" entered the Marathon lexicon during development of the first game, to distinguish the excellent players (particularly in net games) from the fodder.  To do these things is to invite maximum peril, and requires one to play the game as hard and unrelentingly as possible, at the highest level of skill; to play as a Vidmaster.  It is being balanced in the calm center of a whirling and untouchable tornado of destruction, while showers of grenades patter harmlessly around you and bullets crawl toward you in slow-mo.  Marathon Infinity® is the climactic conclusion to Bungie's groundbreaking Marathon® Trilogy.  These three games, the Marathon® saga, are the best training and testing ground for Vidmasters.  But the true challenge is surviving in one of the 50 included netgame arenas against other people.  It is when the difference between a roomful of alien warriors and a carpet of them is a matter of seconds.  You can play against aliens alone or in a networked group through more than 80 levels.  It is in such trials by fire that mighty Vidmasters are forged.  BUNGIE™, MARATHON® and the Bungie and Marathon logos are either trademarks or registered trademarks of Bungie, Inc. , used with permission.
