You know the drill by now — company files trademark, could mean nothing, but we all go crazy because IMAGINE IF IT MEANS SOMETHING ACTUALLY! So yes, Bungie has filed a new trademark forMarathon, its pre-HaloFPS that everybody has fond memories of, but if they played it now they’d probably have a terrible time.

Marathonwas released in 1994 on the Apple Macintosh and Pippin and spawned two sequels. The first sequel,Marathon 2: Durandal, was released on Xbox Live Arcade back in 2007. Download that and you can get a good idea of how well it aged (spoiler: not well).
