I'm pretty sure Bungie knew they couldn't out Doom Doom so they doubled down on writing in a way they know Id couldn't do, which i think they were somewhat successful. Durandal is really the "main character" of the franchise with your character just being a means of witnessing his story. But then Infinity happend and got advant garde with it in a kinda not totally successful way.

I'm tempted to recreate the Marathon weapons in Doom using the Samsaraweps as a base, with modern GZDoom (or Zandronum-compatible) tech to be more accurate to the original game.
Because I love Marathon but FUCK Aleph One.

Would anyone be interested in something like that?

Think of it this way.
You never got a chance to play doom before in your life, but everyone's talking about how awesome it is and how revolutionary it was and how important to the industry and etc etc
the source code is released, and people have made a version of it that works on modern systems! Glory be!

Except in this case, the only available source port is five-year-old version of Odamex, without any nods or even considerations towards accommodations to make things easier for modern players.
No console.
No interpolated mouse support.
No ability to join a netgame mid-match.
Every netgame kicks you back to the titlescreen.
You can't even start up a netgame by yourself, you have to make fucking appointments with people to fill up a lobby.

It would be really nice to have a better source port! It would be really nice to have a Zandronum/GZDoom equivalent around!
But, unfortunately, all we have is a gimped version of Odamex.

Being a Marathon fan is suffering.

Oh yeah and the original creators went on ahead to make Halo so there's that too.
