I wanted to play the thief shell in server slam, It's odd that they didn't put her in despite her being the focus of most of the new videos.

>>558416015
I don't have enough yellow fever to find this negative ass flattie attractive
>>
>>558416470
Same. If it lives long enough I'm curious to see whether more gruesome threats and military-grade equipment from around the setting will appear.
>>
>>558416015
Yeah when does she come out? During or after season 1?
>>
>>558416643
Yeah the UESC goons right now look pretty sad, but then again the maps we were shown were low threat maps so it's understandable. Hoping more threatening bigger robots will arrive on higher threat level maps.
>>
>>558416770
She should be available on release. I'm guessing there's some issues they didn't want to show during server slam, otherwise why would you spend all that effort to not let people test her?
>>
>>558416894
Yeah, I like what I see but it's not quite what I expect from Marathon, even for a spin-off sort of scenario. We'll see if they really make good use of the IP and setting in time, but even if not it may still turn into a fun game to fire up.
>>
>>558416984
Real answer is that they are holding back some of the characters to entice launch sales instead of playing everything during beta or maybe even knowing some of these features they bring are going to be... contentious.
>>
>>558417324
I suppose that's true yeah.
I don't know much about how Bungie does things I think on Destiny they charged for expansions or something? How do you think they would monetize this game? Would they sell skins? Access to new maps? Access to new shells? Battle Pass?
>>
>>558416643
>>558416894
The cryo archive map is set as the first dip into the Marathon itself and they stated the enemies will be way tougher, with the implication that it will get weirder as we go deeper. Hopefully they will switch up the enemies on Tau Ceti too at some point.
>>
>>558417762
>How do you think they would monetize this game?
Likely a lot of skins. I don't remember if they said they would monetize actual content drops or not but I think that would be financial and player-retention suicide.
>>
>>558416015
Kinda funny since she's the only cool design as far as I know, everything else in the game looks like fucking shit.

>>558418071
Rook is fine for what he is. Destroyer/Assassin are like bad Titan/Hunter cosplays. I feel like they should have been reeled in a little on the designs but they are probably trying to avoid being too similar to anything else and especially Destiny. Which is ironic given the guns are like Destiny seasonal guns.

Speaking from my experience with overwatch and the finals, his shield will need to be broader for teamplay. I saw a gold mod that makes it reflect damage, which is cool.
>>
>>558423870
His shield isn't for protecting wide angles, it's for charging in himself. Considering the TTK now I think It's okay, could be wider and more durable sure but It's not fucking Reinhardt.

>>558425516
I just get that same feeling. As in the original “2011 Dark Souls” feeling.
The dangerous world, the random PvP at any times, trying to piece together potential lore from prequel games from the studio.

Not “Elden Ring”, like Dark Souls Dark souls, from 15 years back. That’s what this Marathon entry makes me feel.
>>
>>558423870
But the shield in overwatch is WIDE. Maranthons one looks like a door. I’m sure there’ll be some cool play of shielding a revive once and that’s about it.
>>
>>558424198
>>558428218
I didn't mean turn him into Reinhardt, just that the shield is too small for covering multiple players, which is the fantasy I took away from how it was shown in the trailer. Haven't played yet, so I'm still reserving my opinion. No matter what they're going with, it could be a bit wider.

I don't have an issue with tranny characters, I didn't filter it out of spite.
I'm just not interested in playing games where LGBT people are the target audience, like those gay dating sims or story based games with unappealing genderfluid people.
That's why I'm a bit confused, I didn't see anything overtly LGBT on any of the trailers for Marathon, so what gives?
>>
>>558434996
If you tell me that shells have sexualities I'm fucking leaving

It’s very funny playing Modern Warfare and seeing every mime trying to make each other mad by seeing who can put the faggiest flag in their kill cam.
>>
>>558435509
The only thing that comes to mind is If you watched the reveal cinematic it shows the girl in the vandal shell later in an assassin shell acting like she doesn't recognize her childhood picture. I'm guessing that's the extent of "LGBT" but I'm not sure if they'll start doing 2 lesbians in burly destroyer shells fucking each other for representation reasons.
>>
>>558435393

>>558419151
I think I get where you're coming from but it's a shame aesthetically. I did write "ways" before and they're not that starved for material with all the stuff that is there for aesthetics, so I can't really be content with it from a protection stand point either. However... it's not always glaringly visible so at leas there's that.
I just had a thought: it might even be 100% intentional to encourage buying cosmetics that address it. I don't even mean in a purely sinister way either, but something that fits in the setting like: here's a more advanced frame (not necessarily with stat differences) that doesn't suddenly lack material at the waist area.

reposting since I was chased out of the halo gen with pitchforks.

marathon yenuinely looks promising.
Starsiege deadzone was good fun and it was a 100th of marathons budget and refinement.

high hopes that it can provide weeks of fun grind until the gameplay loop becomes boring.

however it seems the game has no PvE..?? that could be a detriment. having bad loot or bad loot balance or bad gear balance could also be a detriment. being too easy could also be a detriment.

Yes. A character who was a mysterious scholar of the arcane and another character who was an powerful warrior single-handedly destroying armies, who both were raised as brothers under their mentor, were written into a gay couple because Bungie hired a gay fan fiction dude as a writer who said that he always saw these two as a gay couple so now it is canon.

This is confirmed removed on the last playtest, I don't know what they're going to do on release and onward exactly but people who used mouse and keyboard on last playtest said there's no aim assist anymore (on mouse)

We don't know that. When people lose their loot to some retard kid autoaiming, surely people will get more vocal about their distate for it. wait for server slam feedback, if it's that bad people will lose their shit and they'll be forced to adjust or flop.

totally agree. that's a major reason why I gave up on apex and stuck to ow. at least pizzard had the sensibility to keep the queues seperate for consoles and pc in ranked. I hadn't really considered this aspect of the game and now I'm less hyped for sure. saw some people saying it's less aggressive than destiny 2. don't know what that means because this is my first time playing a bungie game. the fact that they even concidered aim assist on MOUSE input is insane to me honestly.

>>Items have random attributes/powers, Prestige adds a very powerful unique effect that's not rng on top of the existing random bonus(maybe not for all items?)
That's basically exotic items from Destiny 1/2, but with RNG parts on top of them. Exotic weapons could put the whole gun archetype upside down (like a fusion rifle that is generally supposed to fire a delayed charged up burst shot but instead behaves like a regular auto rifle), exotic armors would alter your abilities in different ways, giving them additional charges or outright changing the entire way they behave. In Destiny they were balanced around being (initially) hard to obtain, being locked behind long quests, and the fact that you could equip only one exotic weapon and one exotic armor (Bungie's explanation was that if they tested with unlimited equippable exotics, Bad Things Happened to the engine, maybe they have reworked something in Marathon since it's the same good old Tiger Engine).

PC and console lobbies were separated in Destiny 2, but you could theoretically drag a console player into a PC lobby through crossplay and premade fireteam, and that resulted in people shooting off heads with SMGs firing as laser beams locked straight into enemy heads.

seperate lobbies would end this debate and save the game, in that regard at least

They were only separated by platform, PC players can plug in controllers and play as if on consoles with all their benefits. Console players could use mnk only to type in chat, it was a deliberate decision.

Loot is basically broken up into 4 main groups:
>Gear (Weapons, grenades, implants, cores, attachments, etc)
>Consumables (Health/shields, buffs and debuff removers)
>Salvage
>Valuables (Loot items that auto-sell upon exfil)
There are 6 different factions that function like Tarkov traders, and yes they have missions (contracts). They are one of the primary ways to level up your rank with them and each faction has a long series of story-based contracts with dialogue scenes upon completion.
Each faction has an unlock tree connected to both persistent passive upgrades for the whole season, as well as unlocking items in the marketplace for quick purchase. (The marketplace is just a simple buy-sell menu that you gradually grow, with preset loadout kits that you can also buy.)
But these upgrade nodes require different kinds of salvage from the maps (NuCaloric usually likes more medicine/agricultural salvage, Traxus and CyberAcme like intel/tech salvage, etc). Specific salvage is also sometimes the objective for random non-story contracts.
Low-tier guns can still be useful cause of the weapon mod system, where if you slap a few purple attachments onto a default grey gun, it becomes purple, and attaching a golden mod will make that gun gold too. But other low-tier items like grey shields and health kits are auto-sold upon exfil so they are kinda meant to be used pretty freely during your runs.
From what I saw in the October test, I don't remember seeing random rolls, or at least I just didn't notice. I guess the closest thing would be slight stat differences on implants or weapon mods, but there were a lot of variants within those so its possible that those stats were static too.

>>558459337
it will also have the glorious bungieTM bullet magnetism responsible for the world famous bungieTM gunplay that drastically reduces the game's skill ceiling
>>
I'm genuinely a bit deflated and weary about this aim assist thing. Reading plebbit it seems bullet magnetism was a thing for mkb in destiny and halo to even out the playing field. The fact that they have attempted to implement aim assist for mkb is super worrying to me because it means they fundamentally misunderstand or undermine the concerns of going up against a terminator. This game doesn't have the crazy movement and as much open space as a game like apex provides to at least give you a chance of escaping the terminator. Recent playtests also only had an opt-out feature for crossplay on console babs machines. Hoping we can have it sorted out before release but honestly I'm not feeling good about the way they have handled this issue so far.

marathon has a good chance to succeed. its different enough to arc raiders and people enjoy the gameplay loop of extraction games. as long as its not too difficult and rewarding enough, people will play.
and since aimbot assist is cranked to 11 in this one, they will play.
>>
>multi is still seething over controllers
>>
>>558478114
The moment someone activates an extract beacon it sends out a loud horn sound that you can hear from most of the map along with a blue beam in the sky at your location, visible from very far away. It then takes ~60 sec I believe, for the beacon to power up and extract you. The extract spots randomly change and rotate throughout the match, and once the match timer hits 60 seconds left there is one single final beacon to escape through. There are also other extract beacons that are guarded, so once you activate it, an AI patrol will drop right on top of it. So sometimes you'll be in situations where other players/parties have taken the safe extracts, leaving you to make a decision: Do I take the risk and try a nearby guarded beacon, or do I try to lay low for another 5-10 min before heading for another safe extract, but with an unknown location?

Why has there been a drastic shift in sentiment towards the game? First trailer reveal I felt like everyone was shitting on the game, mainly the characters, did they modify them and tone down the colour splash?

I'll probably play the server slam in hoping they've fixed the core issue of the gameplay loop (that being, giving an actual point to the entire genre being extraction shooter)
But what I've played so far after 2 tests didn't convince me it had much going for it. It feels like they have a PvP environment, 1 cool map and are banking on "bungie sauce" in the PvP to save it.
If they're seriously launching with those quest designs what are they fucking doing.

The concept of Rook sounds pretty cool, but can someone with extraction gameplay give their opinion
Will Rook just be exclusively used when you want to play but risk nothing? Surely even just basic load out of any dedicated runner would be a stronger choice for survival?
>>
>>558492879
give me a tldr of rook and i can give you the answer
>t played multiple le extraction games for over 1000h
>>
>>558492951
Can temporarily turn off enemy NPC aggression for himself
Can only queue solo
Spawns in with just a starter kit with pistol
From what I've seen though, rooks can band together into a tide
>>
>>558493104
I might have read too much into a dev speak, but it sounded like Rooks only load into games half way through, they don't enter on the beginning of a match, they're meant to be true scavengers and just picking up what's been left behind
>>
>>558493104
seems like a sensible addition to help solo players or those struggling to win. dont see a problem with it. I can see myself queuing some games as rook when the boys get off.
>>
>>558493405
>>558493445
in that case they are just like scavs from tarkov, they really do copy everything from that game.
even the the pickup animation and 3rd person looting animation looks the same.
>>
>>558484780
>What changed for you?
Not much. Saw it as a spin-off where you play as a random civilian. Read an early/the first devblog and figured we might get more familiar environments, military level gear and threats that demand them over time. We'll see. Even if it doesn't make good use of the IP it might still be a fun game that should've gone by another name.
>shift in sentiment
It would make sense that those who aren't up for a spin-off have made up their minds for now and are no longer talking about it. Those willing to take a chance make up a greater number of those talking about the game. Plus attention always increases closer to launch, who knows what player retention will be like.
>>
>>558484780
>shift
i never cared about this game until i saw the recent gameplay and learned its a scifi extract

like starsiege deadzone, that game was fun but instantly died.
>>
>>558493603
>scavs from tarkov
Was this seen as a viable method of playing, or just desperation if you have nothing else or want to play but don't want to be serious and okay losing everything?
>>
Besides the Zeus RG at full charge, can anything one shot you in the game with full shields?
>>
>>558493901
scavs were basically introduced to have a means to get loot when you are down to nothing.
however the amount of massive freak virgins afraid to risk actual gear is so massive that lots of tarkov players are just scav mains.

also, the mmo brain. they just spam scavs to get richer while never spending any of it.

its usually not a problem in tarkov (unless i scav and they steal my loot), howevber sometimes frustrating situations arise where these subhumans mass charge at you (the player risking gear) if you had a big fight late into a raid which they would NEVER dare on their actual characters, which is just so infuriating
>>
>>558494424
Good things Rooks can't be played in ranked based on what Bungie said
>>
>>558494720
theres ranked? lol
i couldnt care less about rank, the goal of such games is to get as much gear and money as possible

ranked in a game like this makes no sense to me.
if ranked is where all the good loot is, all the good players will go there.
however if rank is based on how many teams you kill/ how often you extract, then people will just run for pvp and ignore the loot.

yeah idk bruh. there needs to be an incentive to pvp and it needs to be strong gear.
>>
>>558495313
Yeah ranked has better gear supposedly
>>
>>558495313
You have to 'buy into' ranked with a certain value limit of items but on the flip side the loot value will be greater
>>
>>558495490
>>558495420
this idea is from Dark and Darker afaik.
theres High Roller in that game which has all the good loot but an entrance fee (neglegible).
mobs are way harder and loot is much better. why is it called "ranked"? ranked infers its some sort of competetive mode.
>>
>>558496003
I assume there will be levels to the amount of value you have to bring
>>
>>558496272
there shouldnt be any other conditions besides the buy in
>>
>>558497141
What I mean is the min purchase level would probably be higher according to tier or something
>>
>>558497283
you mean you need to pay more for higher ranks? then everyone would just pay the max rank after a while.
it makes more sense the buy in is flat and you reach a higher rank by whatever means. dark and darker had an "adventurer score" that scored by how much loot you extracted with so if you play a lot and survive you automatically level up. that was their ranking system.
>>
Ask me when Cryo lab releases with the answer.
>>
What's known about the factions side of things, does it dictate anything, are you locked in on one pick or will you level them all up over time?
>>
>>558499483
You level them all up over time and take contracts from each of them.
>>
>>558484780
>why did the sentiment shift
Arc Raiders did a huge amount of work laundering the shitty reputation 'Extraction' had with the gaming community, when these two were going head to head last year alot of people had written both off entirely for being in a genre generally perceived as boring, tedious grocery list simulators, now turned into exciting high risk pvpve.

>Was the recent trailers just that much better than the first trailer?
no, they blew their load with the Ozymandias trailer everyone liked and the b-roll stuff they're pushing now is not nearly as good.

>was marathon saved by peanut
his community hates it so i wouldn't count on it, they also hate every other extraction shooter he plays that isn't arc or tarkov.

>Is it because it's just the 'next' big game coming out?
Im guessing it's mostly because this spring is completely barren in terms of triple A releases

I think a part of it is Arc Raiders fatigue. Not saying its a shit game and if Marathon DID come out next to Arc Raiders it would have instantly died, but now its had time to make some changes its offering a more middle experience for people interested in extraction. Its not beginner friendly like Arc and not psychotic like Tarkov.
Also I am a autistic lore nerd so even if its just cutscenes and terminals I still want to see what this game in in the scope of the Marathon story. Where is Durandal? is this one of the side timelines from Infinity? Is ONI actually Leela whos been lobotomised and reset by CyberAcme. Can I fuck the Nona worm? All questions I hope will be answered.

>>
>>558504406
>dropping lore questions
Damn, did you play the first Marathon games, I know nothing about the IP except that lore was told through terminals and telltale signs of things
Has Bungie commented how they'll handle the continued story telling within a game that doesn't really allow for you to stop and read a terminal for 5 minutes?
>>
We got nothing for 2 more days
>>
>>558506635
I picked up the originals recently and have been diving into the lore. Yeah most of the lore is hidden in terminals and load screens. Also in the manuals (Had to look up those details).

From the looks of it in this one most of its story is going to be coming through your factions specific missions and piecing together the story from the environment and audio logs. Ben Starr has been cast as Durandal so we know he's there in some capacity.
Main things I've picked up from the play sessions and lore drops is the colony failed due to a mutated fungus plus a temporal anomaly possibly created by the compilers. That or there is w'rkncacnter fuckery going on.

Never played Apex either? I haven't played extraction shooters much but It applies to both BR and extraction shooters I suppose.
>Close the doors behind you both to mask your presence and to make the next team waste time by entering the building and searching for shit, not knowing you already looted the place
>Don't drop shit around where enemies can easily identify activity (ie middle of hallways, in front of doors)
>Don't engage uncoordinated over long distances unless you are 90% sure you can take a guy down (unless your objective is to make them waste consumables) Giving out your location is a bad tactical decision if all you get is one dude damaged and you can't apply further pressure
>Don't overcommit, Half health? No shields? Unless your team is going all in at that point, take a step back and replenish your health and shields. Nothing's worse than wiping a team and getting picked off by a third party immediately after because you were overzealous.
>Be patient, sometimes the best course of action is to do fuck all. Most people are impatient and don't pay close attention to their surroundings, use it to your advantage.
>Learn when to advance and when to pull back, this is pretty much the basics of all shooters but It's a sense you develop while learning the maps and flow of the game. The person that always pushes dies all the time and the person that always pulls back leaves everything on the table for others.
But most importantly, coordinate with your team. Acknowledge their playstyle and don't try to pull them to the opposite direction. And if you're solo Rook then you enter the rat zone, the guy in the video demonstrates it pretty well overall.

People are going to be in for a shock when they realize the wallhack girl isn't a free win button. Everyone can see the radius of her ability when she activates it, and it doesn't even distinguish between bot and runner. I honestly think her passive ability that makes wounded runners leave behind a trail to follow is going to be much more valuable than her "ult"
>>
>>558549691
recon,destroyer and triage are teamplay based runners, while you can probably kit them out to fit solo play more all their abilities benefit a group environment more than solo play
>>
>>558549691
>it doesn't even distinguish between bot and runner
I heard that one tuber say the same thing as you but he's retarded and suck at vidya. You're not supposed to use abilities like that before a fight, you use it during a fight to track flankers or watch for third parties. Wallhacks are ALWAYS strong in fps games. There's also the mod that tells you when other players are nearby, which is ridiculously good for solos depending on effective range. Mark my words, the recon girl will be top 3 and stay there for teams and solos alike.

come on man, be honest. highguard is a mishmash of bad ideas with -ok- gunplay, rest of the game is dogshit.
marathon while it's artstyle puts a lot of 30+ males off, is mechanically a sound game, it remains to be seen if gunplay is good, if they adjusted auto aim to a satisfactory level or not. But the point is, the game has a real shot.

they originally didn't want to add voip because "it was too toxic" and they only reversed this stance because people bitched really hard

I'll still give it a shot at launch. More people should be talking.

I expect the game to quickly lose "casual" players and become a sweatfest, like BO7. The reason why Arc Raiders will win, is because of the low skill gap, 3rd person, and movie game visuals(looks like Sony's Last of Us).
Every casual "dad gamer" is going straight back to Arc within a week.

Mid game, watch people fight from range, finish the winners, take everyone's stuff. If they don't fight, don't risk attacking them.

Hide and kill someone, escape

Look for people and keep your distance, wait for a fight, or ambush someone.

First kill the competition the easiest possible way, loot later.
