I've seen Marathon CD advertised recently in the UK. What's on it?
I assume it's just the same game as the floppy. Maybe some
improvements?

And when will those new levels ship? :)

The same game that was on floppy + shareware utilities like
shape/level editors.  I don't think Bungie will put out any
new levels since these editors exist.

it includes level editors, character generators, other utilities and many
saved movies of so-called "expert solutions".
