The idea behind Marathon|Rampancy was first sparked on a camping trip over two years ago. It was made with one simple goal in mind: to bring Bungie's classic multiplayer game to the internet. Along the way it has expanded upon and refined the original ideas behind Marathon, in hopes that Rampancy will appeal to the broad expectations of both vets and neophytes alike.

Rampancy includes ten gametypes that utilize both its own map pack and any UT based map. Each gametype comes with a ton of options that should allow almost any map to be playable, although some work far better than others. The best maps are usually the ones that are arena style, small to medium in size, and easy to negotiate quickly.

Gametypes:

  • Kill the Man With the Ball: Pretty much sums it up. The ball physics add a large twist to the game since it can be punched, shot, and blasted around.
  • King of the Hill: Old school Marathon at it's best. Well suited for 3-8 players.
  • Roving King of the Hill: Inspired by Perfect Dark's gametype and based on domination maps. Will probably play much better once Rampancy specific maps are made for it. (Any volunteers?)
  • CTF: Includes a variable flag drop time. Plays best with smaller maps, long flag-stay times, and a large number of players. The enemy flag can be capped at any time regardless of the friendly flag's status to improve the flow of the game.
  • Also included: Domination, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Last Man Standing, and Assault.

Weapons:
Akimbo Shotguns, Rocket Launcher, Pistol, Napalm Unit, Fusion Gun, Battle Rifle (with auxiliary grenade launcher), Submachine gun, and a pair of really powerful dukes. All of the weapons have unique properties that make them interesting to use. For example the second fire on the fusion pistol will overload it after approximately a minute. The resulting explosion is huge. For a laugh, try chucking it at an opponent just prior to meltdown. Also, remember not to use it in water.

Powerups:
If you're lucky, you'll find a 1X shield charger, or maybe a 2X or even a 3X. There's also an invisibility powerup and an invincibility. Invincibility is both a blessing and a curse since everyone comes after ya with a fusion pistol.

Just to finish...
In case you'd like to play the UT gametypes or other mods, you can: Marathon|Rampancy comes with 2 mutators (a normal and an arena mutator). It also includes a player model and a voice pack.

    The death sound effects are a bit annoying, but besides that, it is a great deal of fun.
