Marathon 2: Durandal 1.6.2
Pmarathon 2 durandal is the second installment of the first big bungie saga developed by the same team as halo and destiny which was released in 1995 for macs. With an even more extensive campaign as well as additional multiplayer modes this game picks up where the original left off again. In 1999 just four years after the game's release bungie released the code for marathon 2. This led to the development of aleph one an open source engine designed to run the marathon trilogy on modern computers with mac os x windows or linux. It uses the same engine which means you can play in high resolution panoramic format. You can also customize other aspects of the graphics and the controls.
the campaign in marathon 2: durandal lasts longer than the first game of the saga, with more locations and new enemies. The shotgun is also a new weapon. If you want to double your firepower you can also carry two weapons simultaneously. All in all this is a longer and more entertaining campaign that completes the story begun in the original story. In addition you'll have to pay attention to the terminals you find if you want to know more about what's going on around you.
marathon 2: durandal was a great fps in 1995, and it still holds up, thanks in large part to the aleph one engine's improvements. There are several multiplayer modes in addition to the story mode so you can play with your friends easily.
