Ahh, the delightful nuggets of ridiculousness that come from court filing papers.

Could be held true for so many companies...most unfortunately.
Why is it so hard finding good managers, yet they pay the shitty ones so much to keep them on board and fire the good employees who actually bring in the profits?
However, the FPS genre has moved well beyond that issue, so the question is what can Bungie bring to a Marathon game that isn't just a rehash of Halo. Especially since they've been essentially rehashing Halo for years now with variations in gameplay mechanics. Personally I foresee the Marathon game having a larger story, less enhanced main character, and a tweaked gameplay that removes it from Halo. I wouldn't be opposed to them removing regenerating health.

Basically it's the managers perceiving that, because they have more managerial responsibility, that they should be paid more. It's not entirely a bad idea, but really becomes one when the pay gap between the guys who produce and the guys who manage becomes such an uncrossable gulf.
Also, it's always difficult to fire managers. It's why Activisions recent actions really didn't surprise me in the least. If you want to fire someone in a management position, but have no reason to justify it, then companies either make something up or inflate an issue till it seems a big deal. If they can't produce an airtight reason for firing a manager, there's a good chance of them getting sued for wrongful termination or breaking contract.
What?
A) Marathon wasn't a Doom clone. Marathon was a significantly better game than Doom but was hindered by the fact that it was Mac only and nobody had a Mac in their home back then.
C) Halo was just Marathon updated for new hardware basically, so if you're an ignorant twit then yes, the new game will be a Halo clone since it will probably be similar to the original Marathon.
It's not fixed yet.
And imagine if they release the new Marathon in some crazy scaled-down version for the Pipp!n.
(Let the pants-changing commence.)
That's not creepy at all.
On the point of Marathon, anyone know if it's available on steam?
Every so often when I look in the mirror first thing in the morning, I scream and jump back because I'm not sure who the blonde lady is. It's the thrills like those that keep me going back to the hairdresser.

Yes. It's part of the new Checkpoint ARG that they'll completely deny having started.
Don't believe them.
The Eyes have it.
If you play the black part backwards and slow it down by 666% you can hear Graham screaming, "Iä!Iä! C'Bungie Ftaghn!"

The storylines are not similar at all, Marathon had a much more available and in-depth story, and it was technologically more advanced than Doom (you could look up and down, for instance)

P.S. Kathleen resembles the Monk from Diablo 3 and you should rub that in whenever possible.

I am amused to have lived in a time when this was a technological achievement.
What do you mean by that? As in there would not be enough content to run on longer or funding wise?
How long does it take to produce, cut and ship an episode?
In any event you guys are doing a damn fine job of it.
BTW: eckpoints should totally be the new currency if you guys should ever decide to make your own country.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I started my PC gaming with...
