Re: [M-dev]Re: True aim of marathon (and a 3D player model)

yes, headshots WOULD impair the original game.  part of the game was ammo
conservation, so if you could put a bullet through everyone's head, you'd
have a ton of ammo for the rest of the game, but that's not the point.  the
point about the original email that you were responding to was that the old
scenarios (marathon 1 thru infinity) will play exactly like bungie intended
them to.  no ladders, no fall damage, no headshots, no freaking nothing.
there will be no MML script in those scenarios to say that fall damage,
jumping, taking a dump, etc will be activated!  what everyone is trying to
say is:  IF A FEATURE IS ADDED, YOU WON'T SEE IT UNLESS A NEW SCENARIO MAKER
PUTS IT IN THEIR SCENARIO.  you will NOT see it in m1, m2, or moo.  okay?
sorry i've had to write two emails about the same subject, but it just keeps
going ON AND ON.  let's PLEASE shut up about this.

my apologies for being somewhat hypocritical.
