I've learned that UESC AI has dogshit tracking if you actually break line of sight in an engagement to reposition. Yes even the high tier units will completely lose track of you if you disengage for a bit.
you play as a runner because you're in a marathon
>>558908706>i genuinely cannot imagine ever dying to npc uesc in this gameAfter wandering in a quiet neo-liminal scifi setting encountering only a single npc (some alien slug with an explosive bulb crawling on a ceiling) I got a headsup on my HUD about some "!!!" point of interest, so maybe it was like high level NPCs or somethingbut I went there anyway looking for something to loot/doI had some shitty rental SMG that was available on rotation at 4amI snuck up and saw two guys? npcs? on a roofI zeroed in a perfect headshot on what I asume was an npc and it sort of just bounced off with a green indicator or something? and I hit him again and more green splotch stuff like maybe armor or shields came up from my shotthen to my right, up a hill through a chokepoint sort of valley up the hill, behind a barricade like enforced soldier barrier looking thing, some other npc killed me in 2 shots, he was like twice as far away as the dudes I shot atand so I died
SEX WITH RECON
>>558909362whoa
So I have a mission to go to three different points and stumble around scanning. How am I meant to do this in a single life? That's a huge amount of walking and everyone is kill on sight.
>>558909362KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO holy fuck bungie i kneel
>>558909362MIND FUCKING B L O W N AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Cheeseburger
>>558909362>>558909468>>558909537>>558909646no fucking way this is blowing peoples mindnext you're going to say you didn't the setting of this was on an abandoned planet, that's why its so empty, it actually makes sense with the lore if your smart enough to think about it
>never met a friendly player>everIt's kinda boring. You don't even get anything from killing me, why not just do your thing?
Marathon launch>dedicated nerds only>sweatfest>no 9 to 5 dads and normies>no noobs to stompI like the game, but I'm not gonna sit in a hellhole with sweats.Arseraiders is majority casual, I'll go kill them every match
>>558909120The loading screens are so "Million Dollar Extreme presents MARATHON" coded it's insane. I didn't know when Sam Hyde was talking for a decade about making his own videogame he meant Bungie's MARATHON.
>>558909789and its FREEnobody is going to pay for this shit
>>558909778WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
>>558909789You have to put your african american tinted glasses on when playing this game and imagine everybody else as a walking cashbag
>>558909778Holy fucking shit, I'm losing my fucking mindThe game is bad... on purpose???HOOOOOOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>>558909778Wait it's abandoned? Holy fuck that explains why there's nobody on it but us....
>>558909935HOW BOXES REPLENISH THO?????>the call is coming from inside the house
>>558909823It really is, isn't it?
>>558909823I thought it's supposed to be a reference to the ghost in the shell opening
Does it mean anything when some compound interiors have the UESC yellow tape hologram on the doors? Is it a danger zone?
>>558910323holy shit it's the stupid bugs that print your synthetic shell, how the fuck does everyone miss this
>>558910385Unless you watch the preview shorts, the game gives little context to what's going onThe fact so many people died on the tutorial should clue you in on how bad the average gamer is
the gameplay loop on this is so bad, how are you supposed to progress when you just die 100% of the time
>>558910385what does the moth represent though?
so where are the shells all being printed from? and if they're so expensive why do we even continue wasting them on Tau Ceti runs? Like a successful run likely doesn't even go .1% towards us paying out our shell debt.
>>558910546nothing they probably just thought in the writing>ok its in the future>they would 3d print stuff>whats a weird way to do that>lol what if it was a silkworm>and then the moth eats it once its done printing>to birth a new set of printers
>>558910546Idk probably something about gnosticism and humiliation, this game is filled with gnostic references, the players are trapped in an endless cycle of suffering and all their work only strengthens those who keep you trapped. That's why escape will make you god.
>>558910637>why do we even continue wasting them on Tau Ceti runs?Because we are the means to companies' objectives on Tau CetiNot only physically but also legally, they can claim plausible deniability if shit goes south. worst case they lose out on money for the shell, that's it. Considering what they have to gain, It's fucking nothing.
Is the new resident evil game any good.
Do you guys actually not know that the moth symbolizes rebirth in various cultures?
i stopped playing the server slam when i read that no progress carries over so i dont even get the skins from extracting with the free sponsored packages
Pussy
>>558910546>what does the moth representYour goal, to be God, eating all other shells.Use them, kill them.
Found my first friendly. We jumped and nodded at each other and fought some AI. It was kinda nice.
>>558911037get rekt loser
>>558911164if this happens more it would unironically save the game, except for the whole having 0 PvE content thing it has going for it
>>558911037Maybe he should play another genre
I don't understand the point of not shooting other players. Hit me
>>558911389why are extraction sissies like this?>STOP DONT LIKING WHAT I LIKE
Didn't some other games in this genre have equipment insurance or something, that gives you a money rebate when you die?
>>558911429cooperation :D
>>558911463ABG - Always Be Gatekeeping
>>558911538No, there's no pocket lockers or safe boxes
>>558911538that sounds like such a good idea for Martahon, I just die way too much, I am seriously trying to like the game but I am admittedly bad at pvp
>>558911463You're a fucking cretin mateI'm not even gonna explain why, you know why.
The vault badly needs a sell all button
Anyone use the LMG/HMGs? Are they worth taking at all? I really see anyone use them
>>558910385everyone complains that theres no story and literally everyone is just skipping the story bits lol
>>558911328I guess we don't fight over terminals. But the game doesn't really make that clear. Some missions I think we actually might.
>>558911538Tarkov has insurance yeah but Marathon is also missing the safe pocket which is a bold choice that I don't even think the biggest Tarkov tankies would back if suggested for their game.
>>558911684They're good against UESC
>>558911652of course the british guy hates the indian
>>558911429I was there to do my faction contract. Fighting is just a waste of time.
>>558911684With the Arachne mod they're alrightFor a bargain bin weapon they're pretty decent
>go invisible>other players still shoot meNICE GAME BUNGKEKS
>put scope on DMR>2 tap some player from 100m awaywhy yes i'll be taking all that warden gear, thanks for killing him for me
>>558911947bungoliods how will we respond!??!
>>558911947You have to stop moving while invisible to go fully invisibleWont that make shooting you easier? yea idk what they were thinking
>>558911947>he think's it's true invisibilityOH NO NO NO NO
>>558911638Same.Even looting feels pointless because i die most of my runs.
Why are /v/irgina so mad that I enjoy this gameI don't like Russian gun autism of Tarkov and I don't like the hobo aesthetic of ArcI don't like singleplayer shooters that aren't customers quake or doom mapsThis is great for what it is
>>558911638Do you not do the piss easy MIDA or CyAc contracts that gives you nades and meds?
>>558911947>clown doesn't know what active camouflage isnigga that shit's been in like 20 different movies and video games at this point
Back to Arseraider LMAODEAD DEAD
>>558911838This man the point of the game is to do your fucking job whatever it is this time, maybe one run you're working for arachniggers so you kos but if your mission is just to find and exfil some shit why would you go around thirsting for runner kills? I don't get how I seem to be the only fuckin person playing the game this way feels like everyone are just monkeys who see player -> shoot player no matter the situation, even if they see someone a hundred miles away they'll just absentmindedly take potshots for no gain at all
marathon has VAs I actually like instead of AI slop so it already makes it better than arc raiders
>>558912578>why would you go around thirsting for runner kills?Stabbing people to death is awesome, stabbing a trio to death is awesomer
I never have nearly enough ammo to complete objectives. There's too much AI. I can't melee them all.
>peanut says Marathon is good because you don't waste a bunch of time in a raid and then get instantly killed when you head for an extractok he's still being paid
>>558912189remove the second head and then this would be perfect>>558912869Stealth around the AI, it's even better this way because then they also indirectly guard you from other players, run the fuck away if you're spotted. Assassin is best for completing bounties in solo queue.
>>558912578I came across two friendlies now. I think we are getting a level of calm once the main force of free players is gone.
>>558912538Arc won, bigly
>>558912578It's mostly the low TTK that forces players to be always on their guard and take no chances, ignore a player and they could take you out later if you don't kill them first and all that. The AI you can run away from, players not so much. It's a major issue with the game that turns everything into a battle royale basically.
>>558913306If you aren't killing everyone for pleasure you are doing it wrong
It's really lame that assassin and triage have absolutely cracked abilities from the start while everyone else needs cores to be decent
https://unityispower.io/Anyone know how this works?
>>558913306This does seem to be the main issue. Even when they removed unlimited free kits it will remain.
>>558913672Not clicking that
how does /vg/ feel about the TTK?
>>558912538>>558913062you arc freaks are really pathetic
>>558913937I don't even own Arc Raiders but it clearly won
>peanut tries to be friendly in arc raiders>immediately saved by the first team he loses to
>>558909362I know this is just bait but the name comes from the battle of marathon
>>558913693Are the unlimited kits just for this weekend after all?
>>558913995You're still in time for a refund anon.
Aztecross seems to have a consistent 8k viewers for Marathon every day, I think it's going to have a middling but consistent playerbase :)
>>558914054Fake news
>>558914086I want to leave a bad review first
>>558913693>>558914068You're fucking kidding, these kits arent unlimited?
>hes a rook/scav mainfriendless
>>558913745I like it, it's punishing and rewards situational awareness and positioning
>>558914018I mean you can't revive other runners in marathon can you?
>>558914107>consistent 8k
>>558913745It needs to be SLIGHTLY slower. SLIGHTLY. I like the lethality of the TTK and lowbies with free kits should be able to kill mid-geared runners but right now with the TTK being this fast, your equipment mods and chips and cores are completely irrelevant. I have never seen anyone use their actual abilities on me that do direct damage, it's a waste of time to use.
>>558914195actually no idea, but if you can that would be good emergent PvPvE gameplay that an extraction shooter is about
destiny 1 vault of glass blew my socks offmarathon left them on
>>558914068That is what everyone is saying, I only know it second hand. Seems kinda bullshit if they are though since rook is fairly limited so every second mission would become trying to scav with how often you can die.
>>558911637Both Tarkov and ARC have an item storage that you don't lose when you die. I have no idea how the fuck they didn't realize how vital that is to those games.
>>558914163this isn't a military sim though
>>558914283Marathon put my socks on
>>558914271Unless there's a special revive kit that's not in this server slam I don't think it does.
#RapeBungie#RapeTheBurntPeanut
>>558914360well shit, I guess there is no incentive to really use proximity chat
>>558914142If you look at the store there are a lot of items that are free daily. It will probably be like that otherwise rook is pointless.
you should absolutely be able to revive enemy runners and also there should be an ass pocket
>>558913745Its shit and it ruins the game.You are given abilities which are useless because you die before even the skill animation goes through.And its compounded by the heat system, so you have a super low TTK and you can't even run anywhere because you instantly get fucking heated.I love how in their little trailer they show off being nice to Rooks too, its fucking retarded, because the low TTK means even a single lone Rook is a MASSIVE fucking threat to you, you can't allow anyone alive near you since 1 individual can literally take your group all down.Its funny how the TTK for the bots is super slow, but when it comes to other players its fucking instant, players are literally weaker than the AI bots.
>>558914163literally rewards higher ttk but with also having to land shots?>shoot 50 times in a matter of 3 seconds>miss 45 shots>hit 5 times>rewardinglmfao
Release the Barrett cut
>found two dudes attempting to extract on guarded exfil, sneak up on them and kill bothI actually feel bad
>>558914548and you go into squads and its even more busted to see the low ttk being used that way1 person melts already, now 2 people shooting someone? yeah i can imagine how fun and rewarding that is.but if you want to make your money, sweaty ass content creators wanting hype 1v3 clip moments will turn everyone off, and the game will die off because you aren't makin sales anywayi dont know why people pretend like halo wasn't a good system too. or am i too old now that people haven't played halo before 4/5?
>>558914751FUUUUUUUUUUUCKWHY DOES THAT SOUND SO COOL
>get jumped by a team while exfil is almost charged>throw smokes and walk into the circle, successfully escapinghad me sweating there for a second, thank god for the autoaim SMG keeping them suppressed a bit
>>558914751>we lost a DAoC inspired game for an extraction shooter
>>558914868This didn't happen because you'd be dead already at the get jumped by a team part.
>>558914751bruh make this niggas game
i get to keep my items from the slam into the full game right?
>only friendly experience in a dozen dogshit hours was a glitch running up to me at the extraction point, turning around to face the same direction as me as we extracted wife...
>>558914751Fuck extraction shooters as a genre
>>558914289They were once daily in the october test like all the other freebies in the shop, if that's what you're talking about. I think that was a bit too harsh, but infinite freekits is retarded. It's the same problem as arc raiders where there's no point bringing your own stuff when the free kit is sufficient for third-partying most teams (even if it isn't what do you lose from trying your luck? Fuck all)
>>558914751Bungie should be raped for firing him and changing Marathon out of spite
>>558914751I don't get why so many modern extraction shooters don't look to the roots, Division's Dark Zones. It was primarily a PvE mode that ALSO had active PvP incentives. Arc doesn't understand the latter, Marathon doesn't get the former.The point of the genre isn't killing people, but it's the ALLURE of killing people, of emergent betrayal and co-operation. It's just as silly to engage with all other players as friendly in Arc as it is being entirely antagonistic in Marathon.
>>558913995there is only a compettition in your mentally ill little brains, i play both games, who gives a fuck who has more players other than you culture war rape victims?>>558914123culture war rape victim example 1
>>558914751Really makes me wonder just how bad the upper crust c-suite types fucked things up, both in Bungie and Sony.
>>558915202I don't care about culture, I just want total Bungie death
>>558915202Oh the shill is back, btw tell bungie that "I love arc raiders" is still censored btw.
>>558910546Non troll answer, the moth represents transformation. The OG marathon game has themes of identity, sentience, and personal evolution.The runner shells are racially and gender ambiguous. They have personalities that are forced onto the disembodied mercenaries who inhabit them. Youre trapped in a cycle of death and rebirth solely for some corporations profit. With every death you lose a part of what you, you, and become more or less the shell. Like the silk worm who spun you, you will transform into something different with time.It’s the most pretentious version of /pol/‘s amerimutt dying for Israel and I’m here for it.
>>558914860every game idea that has unlimited scope always sounds cool, starfield sounds cool but then you get in game and its raped by the reality of modern limitations
Why can't I see where I am on the map as a Rook?
>>558915182You can kill UESC commanders and they do have good drops, but good luck doing it with just rinky dink peashooters
>>558915046>>558915182I think with Arc Raiders success it was pretty obvious the average player wants a cooperative emergent experience, so many people are like "Oh I like this genre, but actually hate the PvP part"there are still people who like the PvP and apparently need games that are gear based so they can ruin the experience for newer players but idk why they would waste 3.6 billion dollars on them
>>558915393Look at the top of the screen
>>558915262why?>>558915290oh the guy who has nothing better to do with his life than sit in a general for a game he hates is back, did you blow some hot dudes today in your pve lobbies in arc today?
>>558915486>why?Don't worry about it
>see trio trying to extract as rook>Shoot at them and they extract immediately>They drop smoke on themselves>I jump into the smoke with them and start stabbing>down 1 before all 4 of us get extractedfucking kek this game
>>558915393seems like a bug
>I like everything about emergent gameplay experiences except being attacked by other players
>>558914751Good thing we don’t have pvp twitch dominance when the middle man is cut out with absurd high ttk weapons that barely get any offset with shielding and upgrades. I am still fucking pissed off they made it a hero game and got rid of customization to make your guys. I just don’t see an immediate future with Marathon and Bungie will probably default to the seasonal structure of letting something stay broken,shrug and then fix it in new season
>>558915046this. they never innovate fuckin anything. were still tryin to go the Tarkov route>limited visability backpack management>low ttk>slow fucking "bandaging"we are literally playin a game in a universe 2700 in the future and were still doing this shit?if they kept the ttk high that would have set it apart by default. but they catered to these mongoloid content creating sweats because they rely on them for the marketing. but man they really want to fuckin go under because they aren't helpin casuals at all when you bring in thermal snipers and invisible cloak with 1 tapping shotguns.
This game need a hub where you can hang out with your cybercat pet (that you rescue, if you choose to not sell them)
>>558915617This but unironically
>>558915657The Destiny 1 tower
>>558915657There's a cybercat?
I get not everything is in this demo but wasn’t there supposed to be like a trophy room area? Did that get cut all together ?
>>558915569surely has nothing to do with the culture war at all right? surely.
>>558915617Yes
>>558913745Mostly fine but Longshot is not ok.
>>558915786No
>>558915786"Bro" you're mindbroken by all this culture war crap. The game is just shit, get over it.
I like video games. I don't like getting raped.If I want pvp in a shooter, I play a pvp shooter game like Quake or CS.If I want a pve shooter coop game, I play a pve shooter coop game like Warframe.If I want a solo pve shooter game, I play a solo pve shooter game like Doom.This way everyone is on the same page and everything is consensual.
>>558915413Maybe it's just a modern gamer thing but I don't like playing games for a singular feeling. I don't want to play just a cozy game or just a competitive game, I like games that can encompass a wide variety of feelings. I'm not looking for the same feeling as Counter-Strike or DotA when i'm in an extraction shooter but I'm not just looking to grind meaningless PvE like im in World of Warcraft.Someone else here made the comparison that Extraction Shooters are kind of like questing in world pvp zones. It's exciting and although pvp isn't the point of you being there, it's something that might happen and can be exciting.
are there any sexy characters in the game?
The shotgun is mw2 tier AIDs
>>558915839but you just wont say why, k>>558915854>still in the thread he hates award
>>558915926Just in the trailers, not the game
Genuinely what were they thinking when they removed the safe pocket? Every other big extraction shooter has one so that you can at least get safeguard a small high value find. It's like they don't understand the genre.
>>558909120>>558915742Literally on the OPI found one "prototype pet" that looked like a cat on the inventory, and I was FORCED to sell it by the game.We need a scrappy ASAP
>>558915965>but you just wont say why, kBungie makes bad games and needs to die.
>>558915886Cool story bro, Im happy you like the games you like
>>558915926Even the skins I've seen are fucking ugly
>>558915674>>558915790You guys wouldn't have fun with the hypothetical DAoC version either because that ostensibly was pvp focused.
>>558916007They barely understand their own games, given how they absolutely slaughtered D2 last year. Bungie deserves whatever is coming to them due to their sheer incompetence.
>>558916007>It's like they don't understand the genre.Correct

>>558916102But it's not
>>558913693If they remove unlimited free kits this game will become unplayable.>forced to choose between rook cuckery or missionsno
>>558916169Not to mention fucking Arachne lol
>>558916165I also play video games for the voice acting in the audio logs. I'm having a blast.
>>558916165The only one I recognize is Elias Toufexis cause he just sounds like that.
i wish we had the versions the playtesters had where the shields worked and the ttk wasn't the average of 2 seconds long.now were left with long shot thermal taps and one tap shotgun cloakers.whoever told bungie that people were too tough to kill and cant 1v3 a squad should be beaten with a fuckin' brick
>>558916264If you think voice acting doesn't matter you're a fucking retard.
>>558916007They can also do it on a balanced way that fit the dystopic setting.Like they "upload the data" of the item to the runner Shell part that is always recovered (they always exfill you even if time runs out)Maybe when you you "crack" your safe pocket you loss 20% health, so you think 2 times before use it, and only when you think your team is going to lose.Maybe Items lose some value if they went thru the "upload scan" or they became 1 less rarity level etc.
>>558916365A bad game with good voice acting is still a bad game
>>558916231Yea I cant see the average player liking this
>>558916192>asymmetrical pvp gameDAoC also had PvE stuff as well but it all lead to you doing RvR stuff with your clans.
>>558915926only in the trailer>>558916169>killing others is easywhich is why this shit clashes so much with the game in a sci fi universe with hero abilities. why even bother doing anything but camping a corner and shooting someone down in 2 seconds with no actual way of fighting back? its just a dogshit genre when they keep going this route
Team’s jammin
>>558916310>whoever told bungie that people were too tough to kill and cant 1v3 a squad should be beaten with a fuckin' brickstreamers and the type of sweat that would play an alpha and want there to be no skill in the pvp they are bad at
>>558916428It said DAoC was the inspiration. It wasn't trying to clone it 100% or be the spiritual successor.
>>558916486You know what?Exfils should SCAN everybody on the are, so less people camp around the area.
>>558916310i remember when they nerfed primaries into the ground in D1 and everyone just 1 shotted with shotguns and snipers for the rest of the games lifebungies so fucking retarded
>>558916310Show some respect a lot of out of work Destiny creators are having night terrors trying to understand what LinkedIn is and we need to roll out the carpet for any content slob
>>558914591back to apex, zoomer
>>558916651funny because that game has busted aim assist where you land all your bullets anyway
It seems that what makes or breaks this game is going to be the pve raid content in the unreleased map. A bit odd to not include that in the beta and instead only showcase the weaker parts of the game.
>join as rook>find no one for first 10 min >suddenly find supply drop deployed>random dude is in front of me looting>Pull out my knife and stab him to deathPoor sod... he thought he could escape death by hiding...
>>558916386Am I misremembering but I swear there was a play test video people had from one or two tests back where there was basically drop box dumpsters you could stash quest item specific shit in and sometimes stuff strictly for a faction’s requirements for upgrades and nothing more. I didn’t see any but also didn’t really look everywhere
>>558916735how many stabs did it take?
>>558916735I tried a drop and somebody sniped me. I let them hit me three times because I thought it was just AI, it was so random.
*GULP*
I wonder if the full game will ever get more than 75K players. The player count is extremely low for a game that cost $250M+.
>>558916864two heavy one light, he was shooting me all the time but i zig zagged him
I like video games where I can hide, and attack players who are trying to PvE, then I run away
>>558916914The beta is at 75k and most players are done with it. Looking like 300k at release.
>>558916169There's no incentive toward trios ever teaming up either>raid contentyeah and then get shot in the back because loot is singularI'm 100% convinced that the prerelease footage they had of quirky teamup moments was fabricated.
>>558916007>>558916386There are one-time-use DCONs on the maps (at least on perimeter there are, fuck knows about the others) that you can put stuff into and it gets beamed away without you having to exfil. Way cooler system imo, problem is they straight up don't tell you about them, and they aren't marked on the map even if your contract objective requires you to use one. At least they weren't for me, they did show up for another guy who had that contract later. Idk, game has tons of little annoying fucking bugs and inconsistencies like this
>>558917032>I'm 100% convinced that the prerelease footage they had of quirky teamup moments was fabricated.of course they were. remember when peanut was invited a couple weeks ago to shill the game and they had devs pretend to be randoms for >le funny and organic playerbase that uses commssurprise to nobody, on release all you get are silent pvp killers. no teaming up.
This game would be way cooler with more PvE than PvP. I don't mind PvP in essence or the low TTK or anything, I just find dropping into a map like this with these PvE elements so boring if all you're gonna do is hunt each other. I never played an extraction shooter before though so maybe this just isn't for me. Feels like the game is at odds with itself
>>558917061wtf I wish I knew about this shit, why wasn't this in the tutorial????
>>558917032The raids will likely have too much loot for multiple teams to even carry out. People are niggers though and will stab each other in the back anyway. It's going to be an absolute shitshow kek
>>558917032There is one way but you have to make pve insanely hard and TTK increased to the point that starting combat against another player will likely kill you both unless the pve threat is gone.
>>558916386According to the lore I've read (and I've unlocked a good chunk of it), in the reboot Marathon universe they literally have nanotech and grey goop scifi sloppa that let's them fabricate almost anything given requisite materials, or grow them via extreme genetic engineering as is the case for the unlockable high value extractable codex entries. Even with the DCON's, you can get around it by just saying "oh there's a tiny matter scanner built into your body that can only hold a single two slot item".
>>558917415theyre going for the 'tension' i can be killed at any moment aspectsuper retarded direction
>>558916720Any game where ttk is high in the name of "skill" yet the sandbox is entirely bullet weapons sucks ass. It boils down to damage numbers, nullifying any semblance of strategy or approach to a fight. High ttk compliments skill based weapons, ie rockets, disc guns, lightning guns, flak cannons, any sort of projectile that travels and needs you to lead it.Arc has this issue, where weapons like the Kettle, Stitcher, Tempest, or Vulcano shadow the rest of the arsenal because they are what drops people the quickest in a high ttk environment. I quit after 100 hours because pvp got so stale.
>>558917061wait WHATthis would make the game at least a little more enjoyableIF PEOPLE FUCKING KNEW ABOUT IT
>>558917503>'tension' i can be killed at any moment aspectBased based. Not buying anything without this.No PvP = No money
As rook i activate all extracts so people can't leave then i hunt them down and murder them
>>558917750>Tempest, or Vulcano>Not Torro or Venator or Trig nadesHow to spot someone who hasn't played past the first week.
>>558917893Dedicated murder hobo loadout is a terrible idea. He only drops into teams right? He's clearly not meant to be able to solo teams lmao.
>>558917857You dont even have money
just realised you get to keep your items if you just don't die LMAO
>>558917857yeah but this is half pve half pvp retardationjust make it full pvp extraction shooters are lame af
>>558917991>He's clearly not meant to be able to solo teams
>>558917893Wait are there a limited number of extracts?
>>558917750yeah look at the finals. game has insane mobility compared to arc and has way higher ttk but somehow never caught onsomehow people were fine with arc ttk and i was screaming the whole time about the stitcher. took them 6 months to finally nerf the fuckin gunand thats a 3rd person shooter too.i think if were going to do extraction shooters a service, the ttk needs to be higher. resources should be thought through. people complain about wasting bullets on pve enemies but are fine wasting way less on a player because it's just that fuckin easy to do. you eliminate the person before they can even turn around and get you.i dont know, i just expected Halo but extraction shooter like an optimistic retard who hasn't played destiny 2. i guess they did somethign different with having a plasma pistol so maybe there would be nuances to it but nah, were still melting people with bullets in under 2 seconds despite the endless possibilities they could have in a cyberpunk setting
This game would be so good if it was full PvE or full PvP
>press invisibility>dont go invisibleNice game marakeks
>>558909362Why are they called runners if they can’t run for very long?
>>558918056wait what, if you just wait out the timer and don't extract you keep your shit anyways?
>>558918291>he didn't know this>he's been rushing to an exfil this whole timeoh nononono
>>558916486I've been running at people two evenings in row killing mostly everyone.
>>558914860it's literally the game we got minus the in-progress join. the thing people despise about this game are the extraction elements which is exactly what his proposal there includes
>>558918268You have to play long enough that you cant refund the game to unlock permanent bonuses that get reset every seasonHave to make the newer players suck somehow so the NEETs can farm them
>get to level 20>exclusively get matched against Arachne nameplate tryhards who are clearly playing with music and shit turned offif this is what the game looks like at high levels, the player base is going to max out at like 10k.
>>558918543its gonna be so fuckin bad that you're going to forget its an extraction game in the first place. just no spawn hardcore tdm with broken one shot bullshit the whole time
>>558918036>You dont even have moneyYes we do . We boughted(buyed) Arseraiders on Ps5, Xbox and Pc.Just to kill PvE enjoyers(by camping)
>>558918358i've just been doing random shit, i don't play extraction shooters so this is all new to me
>>558918658hmmm sounds like destiny
What are the rewards for this server slam even?
>>558918543A live service game cant survive without casuals.This game is getting cooked in 3 months top.
>>558918543I’m sure people nerds for it will crack the code but 100% there is some matchmaking layers not dissimilar to the fuckery of pvp in D2. Guy who is just casual and here for the hang in our group who got shit on a bunch is crew lead, lobby is a joke and way toned down, guys attached to shit buckets and have tons of kills, ww3 hell zone nightmare shitmess. Mark my words people will try to tank shit after a certain point to avoid things
>>558915781Good question I didn’t see a tab but I also didn’t dig hard in the codex shit
>>558916169could do a rep system. killing other runners pisses off the factions they were employed by until eventually they place a hit on you. similarly collaborating with another team maybe could get you additional faction rep from whoever they're currently working for?
>>558918182Yeah it's the worst of both worlds and I'm baffled that they got all the way to release (post-delays) with this gargantuan 3d printed elephant sitting in the room completely unaddressed
>>558918797shows in the mail. every like 5-10-20 in your total level gives you goodies in your vault
No Casuals are buying Marathon. It's gonna be tryhard sweats only, competing for FREE.I'm not playing sweats for free, I'mma kill the hugbox care-bare casuals on Arseraider
>>558918543im level 23 and this isnt my experience at all.a lot of people are just currently tryharding on marshes cuz pvp is much more worthwhile than wasting all ur ressourches on AI.
>>558916564exfils should just be instant. competition should be around objectives and only scare with extraction is reaching the point
>>558919146worst part is how long they take to activate and how out in the open they are. the fuck is with that?
>>558919119I've already uninstalled and refunded
>>558915347>The runner shells are racially and gender ambiguousLol. Lmao, even
>>558919146>exfils should just be instant.No, I wanna kill (You) before you exfil
>>558919221how else would you beam back to your ship idiot
just make a good halo game
>>558919146Arc raiders have slow hatches, but eventually they make them "instantly" (maybe 1 second to open and other to extract)Maybe one or two "fast" experimental exfil stations that randomly drop on the map, on top of the existing, slow ones.
>>558919226>I've already uninstalled and refundedLet us make it clear, we are not asking anyone to refund. We(man and cat) are together as one, a team, stating a fact: game will have no casuals.Yes, we are buying it to camp at launch. We want to kill the small portion of beginners.
>>558915347>The runner shells are racially and gender ambiguous.They are so unambiguous that you can tell Triage is Black and Thief is Asian.
>>558919338i dont know invent a better way, make the extractions in better spots? its the future?
>>558919351That's racist and Christ-coded.
>>558915347This feels like satanism to be honest.
>>558919409I'd refund if this happened to me
>>558919146I'm going to agree with this, especially with how the AI can literally at random spawn on active exfils.I just did a coordinate datapad thing and lost all my loot at literally the last second of an exfil because there were 3 grenaders on top of it, and once I was downed some camper one tapped me.At an absolute minimum, there should be no "waiting", the 10 second countdown should not exist on pause until you enter the circle, it should just happen regardless.
>>558919418Thats...a good point, this game is kind of fucking retarded
>>558919479>bungie>satanicyep
This one tried to shoot me so i stabbed
We will buy, but we do expect a sweaty hellhole of nerds. Very small portion of casuals(our targets, we just want to kill them).
>>558919646>Dios mio
Death or Bungie
>>558919746Death to Bungie
I WILL BE THE SWEATIEST NERD OF THEM ALL AND I WILL KILLFOR I AM 1X-CODED AND MY SHELL SHOWS IT
>>558919705remember how much the pvp rat fucks in arc raiders lost their mind at the aggressive matchmaking because they didn't have anymore casuals to pick off because they all goodboy'd their way into loot heaven gameswould be funny if this game did that. this game will have a ranked mode which is fucking confusing though. guess its better than arc raiders trials
>>558919646that knife got no point wtf
>>558919481>I'd refund if this happened to meJust do this, it's meta(Most Effective Tactic Available)
ESCAPE WILL MAKE YOU GOD
>>558919927the one time bungie could have won the even more casual audience is prevent this type of shit from happening, they dont do itlmao. rip this game
>>558919875>remember how much the pvp rat fucks in arc raiders lost their mind at the aggressive matchmakingPvPers can still reverse boost back into PvE lobbies
NEVERMIND I JUST DIED TO CLAYMORES PLACED BY DEVS
>>558919929*kills you at extract cause you die in < 1 second*
Welp i uninstalled.I only succesfully extracted 4 times, out of ~50 raids.Have fun sweat vs sweat.
>>558920056Nobody does that, except this fag >>558919927 and he plays on console
>>558920126Based
they should make a hardcore mode with no hud
They should make it that if you die in the game you die in real life...
>>558920113I've run into like 8 of those. can't see them and they 1 shot you. just a knowledge check since they are in fixed locations but another thorn in the solo-play option since it's a carryover from 3v3 only when getting downed didn't matter
>>558920179yea I don't get the gameplay loop, if this is what extractions shooters are like, no wonder its dead with no games
why are smoke grenades permanently out of stock? the market timer is 15 min..
Are there Compliers yet? or any Pfhor at all?
pretty sure posts about rook wiping trios are almost all botposts, in my experience as rook you get farmed endlessly by trios that literally camp extracts
They should make a PvE mode
>>558920290There will be 1 on the marathon
>>558920179legit makes it hard to be an actual rat for looting since they fucked with the exfils in this game. no more swift solo runs because you just happen to spawn on the side of the map where none are appearing.then when you do? >>558919927
Does literally nothing carry over from the slam to release or nothing can be earned for release by playing the slam? If I can't get anything I'm not going to play for shits and giggles.
>>558920290There's 1 bullet sponge compiler on the marathon level (added when season 1 starts after launch).
This is just a demo, the full game is going to be betterRight guys?
>>558920375Apparently there are cosmetic rewards for reaching levels 10 > 20 > 30 in the slam
>>558920257I mean i'm not a good fps player per se.Atleast in cs or even overwatch(i dont play that shit no mo) i can always learn why i failed, here its just "???" then press next game with default loadout because what's the point in bringing gear into maps when i'll most likely die.
>>558920291yeah seen the tweet also. the rook just simply killin 3 dudes who look like they are in their first ever game.its all marketing nonsense. give the game a week and 1v3 would only be reserved for the actual good players or cheaters>>558920375based off your level you get goodies sent to your vault. nothing cool like skins or anything
>>558920375You get some cosmetics for getting levels 10/20/30 but nothing carries over. You get to do all of the challenges again, isn't that exciting?
>>558920460and those default loadouts turned limited on release to force you to bring gear
>>558920456The only difference is there's 1 more map. The Marathon map isn't coming until season 1 and you'll need to be max level to try it out.
>>558920476oh they aren't cosmetics? gay, that anon lied to me!
>>558920291Literally just wiped a trio with pure knife, sadly a third guy showed up behind me and killed me
>>558920579you can double check your in game mail on the bottom right for the details. i looked at it when i booted the game but forgot. i haven't played the game after the first day. the low ttk is a huge fuckin turn off
10k players by April
>>558920349>then when you do?What do you mean? I post examples.>Someone call exfillYou get close quietly>You call exfilMove away, don't be seen by AI, don't make noise, listen for footsteps
>>558920456Be sure to send your approved content creator plenty of money before buying
>>558918543The footsteps in this game are so loud it doesn't matter if you have the music on or not. Or maybe you just have really shitty headphones. In general everyone seems to be insane ass compared to all the other extraction shooters. Arc Raiders early weeks pvp was completely insane, especially on the later maps.
My sources tell me this game is actually stable and doing better than expected.
>>558920291same I just assumed I was bad
>>558920746It's floundering on PC which is depressing
>>558920742console players probably dont feel like pluggin in headphones and playing. i already wear headphones for computer so i can listen to some random bullshit when i playso yeah i aint payin attention to footsteps
>>558920456considering this is half the game with 2 more maps coming and way more items, yes>>558920570its 2 maps, we get outpost as a third which is probably the best map outside the marathon ship
>>558920375Yea actually something does carry over. The feeling of not wanting to play more
>>558920684Option three: Ignore exfil when someone calls it. You can avoid risking your loot, by just letting someone leave without seeing you. Why not?
>>558920861It's doing even worse on PS5
>>558920579twitch drops has some "emblems" for your gamercard nobody looks atand then playing the game rewards you boxes of loot to lose
>>558920870>its 2 maps, we get outpost as a third which is probably the best map outside the marathon ship2 total are confirmed but 1 at launch and the other in Season 1. The game is not launching with Season 1.
>>558920861its held a solid 70-80k for three days its doing fine
>>558920684im sayin you cant just extract safely like in arc. sure you alert the subway/elevator but you already have good sightlines of what to look out forrng exfils out in the open is too much. top of people that can just snipe you anyway
>>558920902Ps5 Pro has 105-115FPS in 1440p. FPS has dropped randomly to 95, just in empty space.Still very playable. 100FPS is fine.
>>558920995>its held a solid 70-80k for three days its doing fineI'm sure Sony paid $3.6B to make less players than Mewgenics kek
>>558920667Betting on 5k players by june. (Unironically real money betting with RL friend)
Any leaks on how the shop is going to work? I hope its not too aggressive like cod monetization
I don’t really get the grind when tied into maps. Perimeter for example, there’s nothing like,>you need blue shields and a green gun to enter
>>558921041>rng exfils out in the open is too muchOk I agree with you. Consistent exfil locations would give you the ability to make plan B, or plan C
>>558920870wait we might actually have a map that isn't fauna open world puke garbage?
>>558921107>Any leaks on how the shop is going to work?Battlepass + $20 shells skins>I hope its not too aggressive like cod monetizationLOL
>>558921063the fuck? a fucking 10 year old zen 2 poopcessor ps5 achieves the same fps as me on an overlocked intel 13th and 4080thanks bungie
>>558920968no, that is old news, we get both outpost and marathon ship on launch, they WERE going to delay the marathon when they planned to launch in october, now it comes on full release, you can even find keys for the marathon ship in the current test
>people keep throwing around the 3.6 billion number>@grok how much did it cost to develop and produce marathon>$150–300 million, with $200–250 million being the most commonly cited figure.Oh they're fucked they need like 10 million in sales
Craig Mullins' Marathon art from the 90s.Do you prefer his envisioned Marathon or nuBungie's?
>>558921065bungie got paid and now its a problem because they are not meeting your player expectations? you're obsessed quite literally
>>558921269tell me about the floaty fellas, whats their deal?
>>558921269
>>558921065Marathon is also flip flopping between selling as much to selling less than Division 2 and Poppy Playtime on Steam. Sony sure as fuck isn’t going to be happy seeing these results, they already put the company in the hot seat during last year’s financial results.
>>558921262Keep in mind that Destiny has done nothing but lose money for Sony since the purchase, and it's currently dead.
>>558921234>ps5 achieves the same fps as me on an overlocked intel 13th and 4080Not the standard Ps5, the Pro version. And the settings are probably not "Ultra", and no native 4K.My capture card says the signal is 1440p. My monitor with the console is 2160p. My PC monitor is also 2160p.
Killed another duo, third guy got spooked and extracted
>>558920995>its held a solid 70-80k for three days its doing fine>couldnt overtake a falling off arc raiders despite all streamers shilling 3 days straight for a FREE demo>somehow managed to lose players on a weekend compared to the work days peak>selling less than the Division 2 on steam global>3.6 billionyeah its cooked
>>558921262but only 80k people are playing the FREE beta
Does anyone know where we get generic keys for lockboxes at all? I don't think Ive ever come across them.
Remember all those previews last year and the streamers were laying the game like it was Apex Legends? They were moving and mantling shit. Now, I’ve had situations where pushing someone around a corner has let to them taking down the whole team. If I get caught out in the open, I’m gone.
>>558921591they fucked with the ttk enough that actual proper strategy is bad and were being "rewarded" by shit like "proper angles" memery type shit
>>558921364They are one of many alien races enslaved by the Pfhor. For most of the original game they are enemies, but eventually become your allies and rebel against the Pfhor. They have the ability to turn (mostly) invisible.
>>558921591>>558921832I still don't know why they insist on leaving Vandal the way she is for exactly these reasons or the Rocket movement for Destroyer; its usually almost always counter intuitive to use them because you'll just die.
fuck....imagine if this game was a reboot of the original, like doom 2016 was....why didnt they just do that?
>>558921169>>558921041Some of the exfil locations are also literally custom designed to be both camper bait and ambush bait, the Dire Marsh ones are insanely bad when it comes to this. You can just get gunned down by a sniper and killed at the last second of an extract with zero counterplay possibility.
I'd rather buy 20 pulls in a random gacha than play this shit for free.
>>558921990your making me sad
>>558921990That would require effort and not be a live service.
>>558920038>on one hand promote the game as "marathon is HARDCORE and you are GOING to le freaking DIE deal with it chud!!1!" ebin pvp-only ratfuck paradise >on the other hand get the developers to pose as wholesome chungus friendly randoms in their sponsored marketing streamsThey can't make their minds up if they want casuals or not
>>558921395yeah retard. those are the pro specs. the fucking pro has a fucking zen 2. my intel, on paper, is like 40% faster in raw processing speed. and I play on 1080p all low.and we get the same fps????????????????????????it is extremely unlikely the ps5 gpu is anywhere close to a 4080 either. its probably more like a 3060.
WHY DID THEY MAKE THIS TUTORIAL SO FUCKING HARD
>Slay the Spire 2 comes out the same day as MarathonIt's never been more over
>>558921990
>>558921186outpost is on a UESC moon colony right outside the marathon ship, basically a UESC military base with tons of locked rooms that need keycards, and enviromental hazard/stormmarathon ship is apparently quite expansive and is located in the cryo stasis ward of the ship and there will be s'pht compilers
>>558922052They could've turned this game into a helldivers like, procedural generation is an already solved problem and this game has a lot of assets they could use, instead, for some godforsaken reason, Bungie thought to make a game for one of the most niche genres in the world when they need a major hit to save their company.
>>558921990there is an original marathon? what
>>558922129Fuck that looks cool. Imagine if they went for a good art style for this game.
>>558921364By the time Marathon arrives and nothing happened the floatie bois are actually allies to humanity but with all the infection nonsense happening on Tau Ceti were not sureLeaks from a year or two ago during private testing the Marathon and Cryo Storage showed that they are protecting what little remains of the humans that were digitized and placed somewhere by another AI, Joy, who at the time was there to help the colonists but from the ARGs and paintings on the walls she too went insane due to whatever this blight is.Going through the NuCal story we see that eventually the colonist had to start experimenting with the flora and fauna of Tau Ceti to survive. This is why when you go to the toilets and a lot of the older foods they are Flood/Hive/Infested looking
>>558922172I don't get itdo extraction shooters even have whales? I feel like P2W would go against the spirit of the genrebut that is exactly what gachas do, and arent shy about the fact that a few hundred whales are the ones keeping their company rich
>>558922062>>on the other hand get the developers to pose as wholesome chungus friendly randoms in their sponsored marketing streamsThat burntpeanut stream some weeks back was so shameless. Paid fucking actors.
>>558921234I think something might be wrong with your setup, drivers or whatever, also you really shouldn't be overclocking that chip, get AMD if you really wanna go that route.You ARE using DLSS Q right? It's a great boost and looks actually better than native in most cases.
>>558922187yeah, the greeks invented it in like 3000BC
>>558922321no bro something is wrong with the dumb fucking game.watch streamers bro. they have top of the line setups and get like 150 fps on competetive settings.
>>558922321>Needing DLSS for a Tiger engine gameKWAB
>>558921424>pretending the game cost 3.6 billion and the studio didnt just secure a giant bag >still obsessed with arc raiders dick measuring (arc being one of the most successful games in like 5 years)>arc raiders last test bled to similar numbers during their test too due to limited content (like marathon)>pulls out artificial sales numbers out of his ass like he has direct access to the current preorder numbersretard-kun..
>marathon is so dogshit arc raiders didn't even go on saleThis is so fucking stupid, I don't want to pay full price for a 5 year old fucking game
>>558922067>my intel, on paper, is like 40% faster in raw processing speed. and I play on 1080p all low.Let's not forget the game is designed for Ps5 Fat and Xbox Series S, it doesn't fully utilize your "extra power". No multiplat really does, for rare exceptions
I don’t like the concept of extraction shooters when it’s about loot. You know what would be cooler? An intel extraction game. Shave it so that you’re UESC operatives and there’s a specific thing you gotta do every run, and you can call in co-op reinforcements like in Monster Hunter with flares.
>>558922405As I said, it's a free boost to help stabilize the FPS, and the algorithm in Quality setting is actually pretty nice looking, it looks better than native due to the built in anti-aliasing as well. You can force the newest models via the NVIDIA driver even on older games using it nowadays.
>>558922303I was shocked when peanut revealed those were all devsI was actually considering the game
>>558921361Bungie was paid a good amount, but let’s not act like the studio is good with money. Most of their incubation projects were absorbed by Sony or cancelled, their parent company publicly mentioned that they racked up a $204 million deficit running Destiny 2 last year, and just having a studio in a suburb next to Seattle with 850 people on payroll isn’t cheap either. There is a lot of pressure on Bungie whether they want to admit it or not.
>>558922410>>pretending the game cost 3.6 billion and the studio didnt just secure a giant bag Destiny is dead now and has never turned a profit since the sale, Marathon effectively cost more than $3.6B
>>558922514Ok but I don't need it in Destiny 2, it looks better, and runs significantly better.
>>558922172Hell, a mix between Division and Helldiver would have been better than what we got.I still can't fanthom why Bungie and Sony went in this direction; with all the money backing Bungie for this game and to the point that they've delayed the next update/mini-expansion for Destiny 2 by THREE MONTHS it boggles my mind why they went not only in the Extraction Shooter direction but between Arc Raiders, Tarkov, and to an extreme lesser extent Forever Winter they decided to go Tarkov in TTK; like extraction shooters are already an extremely niche genre but to go for the most hardcore?Sony is expecting a massive sale but Extraction Shooters and Tarkov Hardcore is meant for an extremely small group of people in the PvP space and no one else.Let me make something clear, I don't mind that it's Tarkov, hell I like it and I predominantly play PvE games and I'm terrible at this game but I still find it fun but in no way shape or form is this going to bring in the audience to recuperate the money for this game and what they, we assume, expect
>>558922172imagine if all the extract maps were procedually generated labyrinths to navigate and shit.might feel a bit like marathon that way>>558921186
>>558922549and the playercount isn't moving, in fact its going down for some reason
I said these weeks back, but absolutely no one is using prox chat. The environment and tone of the world doesn’t match up with rando cooperation.
>>558908038>>558907839>>558909823it's literally my favourite aspect of the game. so many sci-fi settings have these impossible megastructures, androids etc, but no further explanation how that shit developed past regular current day factories working with steel and shit.it works in some settings, like Alien with the whole "truckers in space" vibe, forklift mech suits, etc.but i really like the premise of this Marathon world how it's like AI automated 3d printing and biosynthetic material production on a galactic scale. seeing it from the post-golden age view we have where it's gone all nightmarish and surreal is the icing on the cake.shame there's not a good game to go with it.
>>558922536because you have direct access to their skin sales, battlepass sales, individual game sales right? you know this because you are on their sales team and meet with the CEO's to discuss their current financial solvency? thanks for clearing that up!
the only thing so far this game has is well>haha well at least were not highguard please stop saying this is concord 3
>~< does anyone want to help me kill the commander in dire marsh for the traxus introduction missions >~<?
>>558922630Holy sovl, they finally have the tech to make this a reality and chose to make it look like Temu Mirror's Edge.
>>558922602Yeah I don’t get the ttk either. Wasn’t this meant to be a more console casual friendly extract shooter in the same way Halo simplified FPS games?

>>558922410>pretending the game cost 3.6 billion and the studio didnt just secure a giant bagsony bought them out for that much. imagine thinking releasing to a mid launch is acceptable for sony after nearly 4 billion spent on bungie and nothing to show for it. destiny is dead asf too btw.>still obsessed with arc raiders dick measuring (arc being one of the most successful games in like 5 years)it the direct competitor. they even banned it in chat before hotfixing it.>arc raiders last test bled to similar numbers during their testholy disingenious cope batman. arc raiders test only lost 40k players from friday to sunday. monday, the biggest drop, was when the test was going to shut down. marathon lost players on a friday and barely eeked out 70k players today, losing half of its players before the test is even over. that is not good. add in bad word of mouth and everyone shitting on the game, release looking pretty cooked.>pulls out artificial sales numbers out of his ass like he has direct access to the current preorder numbersall i know is that its somehow losing to poppy playtime as of right now, that is a fact you cant deny.
>>558922837That already happened to me three times >~<>>558922834NA >~<
>>558922716100% Agree Anon it's probably the most frustrating thing about Marathon and this entire debacle.It's NeoTokyo all over againhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM6eZJRurFk&list=PLgsZCVKxatJSsQ4qu0N9FDfJOTzQJmW9p
>>558922780*shoots you in the back while you shoot the AI commander**runs away*
i'm trans btw if that matters
>>558922659>and the playercount isn't moving, in fact its going down for some reasonturns out you cant force the public to buy your game by paying off every single streamer. they have to actually like your game and no amount of throwing millions at streamers will change that.
>>558922841Shut the fuck up Bungie shill your dead game will release in 5 days and we're not buying it
>>558922841>If you express dissent you're worse than a troonunironically kill yourself
Anyone else gotten blueprints?I'm wondering what the fuck is the point of them, given the cost to fabricate guns or mods from them is almost as high or more than buying them from the shop.
Blast? Being had.Lightning? Bottled.Form? Returned to.
who is WE?
>>558922602It’s also worth stressing that even when CoD had an extraction shooter mode for MWII and MWIII, it didn’t do anything for the game compared to Warzone or standard MP. So why would it have done better in a pre Arc Raiders world, let alone post?
>>558922395I have a 4080S and 9800x3d, granted the processor may be overkill but I play in 1440p with DLSS Q at a near constant 180 FPS.
>>558922971>>558922986but you will waste countless more hours of your lives posting about it on 4chan obsessing over it! totally normal people btw!
how do you lose to a game called poopy playtime
>>558922841>that hate the game and want to shit talk itI like it. I'm stating a fact: casuals will not purchase it. Game's gonna be sweaty as fuck.
>>558922735Sony is a publicly traded company so I have access to their earnings calls like everyone else does. For instance, Sony recorded an impairment loss of $204M due to Bungie and Destiny not making any money. I hope this helps you, faggot.https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/pdf/25q2_sonyspeech.pdf

>>558922958BUT PEANUT SAVED ARC RAIDERSHES THE ONLY REASON IT HAS PLAYERS
>>558923038oof I want an x3d so bad. fucking 400 bucks for ram alone thoughbeit...
>>558922801The fact its a hero shooter with different classes and all really implies that is what it was meant to be.But then you just die before you can even use your fucking abilities.But then you have the heat system that doesn't even let you run away too, the game is entirely directionless. Sort of like how rook exists for low stakes exfils, but you're given free sponsor kits anyway so you may as well use that AND push for contracts since you can't do it with rook.
>>558923090Shut up chud...just shut up. Ok? The team is jamming and customers are having a blast, that's all the matters.
>>558922849>deranged arc pve fag bored with zero progression in arc continuing to hyper fixate on marathon award
>>558923085The game is free right now you complete fucking retard bungie shill
>>558923085I just came here to shit on the game and see what others anons had to say about it.You're mentally ill.
>>558923096What's your personal financials looking like by the way? I'm just a little curious because you seem like an expert on it...
>>558923085>on 4chan obsessing over it! totally normal people btw!If I was normal I wouldn't be jerking off to big anime boobs, calling people niglets, and camping on Marathon(I only camp, no compromise)
>>558923096
I don't like the game and the good stuff feels trapped.>>558909823>>558907839>>558908038Man you can't be this pedestrian, the guy calling this shit satanic was the worst. Ninja too. It's a very interesting not to mention unique thing about the robots, made by silkworms and the whole Durandal-rebirth-rampancy thing with the moth.The original Marathon couldn't release today, forget about Infinity. The people who play videogames just don't have anything to do with being open to ideas, "nerds" for the lack of a better word. It's all normalfags and actors/streamers. People are dumber.
>>558923093same, just the thread is so low quality because these obsessed losers have nothing better to do
>>558922841>threads and social media constantly bombarded by 60+ "people" that shallowly glaze it for just being a videogame and want to sell it to you
>>558923137probably be fine then add me madman19979#9525
>>558923219>What's your personal financials looking like by the way? I'm just a little curious because you seem like an expert on it...Not good, I bet my life savings through Polymarket on Bungie existing in 2027.
>>558923263It's terminally online christards.Whatever they dont understand they go SATANIC ! DEMONS ! KIKE !
>>558923219NTA but no financial advice would ever be given for freeIt's like when you play an MMO and go>yea guys this is my route for finding rare items and plants or whatever the fuck I needand then everyone does it and all that stuff is now worthless

>>558923354Damn...I was hoping you were winning...
>>558923085If you don't like chuds then why the fuck did you make a game that specifically attracts the chuddiest fags in the internet, Bungie? Are you fucking retarded?
Nailed this poor bastard that was out of ammo, his teammates abandoned him
>>558923263To be fair, the advertised the game as a heavy PvP experience, not a Lore driven single player game. I wish it was the case
>>558923142Arc Raiders is actually a good game
>>558923205>>558923214>>558923319keep seething guys! i think asmongold played some games earlier and talked about trump! maybe that will calm you down, then please return to the thread and continue seething about a game you dont play!
>>558923093>Game's gonna be sweaty as fuck.That might be a good thing.
So if this game does not do Arc Raiders x2, Bungie is getting shuttered right?
>>558923260KEK
>>558923160facts for this whole post
>>558923263I didn't call it satanic I just mentioned it was a gnostic humiliation ritual, Bungie doesn't really hide it, their entire marketing was just gnostic nonsense, it's like they're getting off on their game being shit and giving players a bad time, and their company going under too.
>>558923450>Nailed this poor bastard that was out of ammoWould be better as a video, boss...
>>558923479the game isn't even fun to watch so I wont be doing that
>>558923551How is that any different from the OG Marathons or the Halo series as a whole retard
>>558923554I am on a 1080ti, this thing can't handle this + obs
>>558923551yea its totally a gnostic humiliation ritual and not just a game with guns with some scifi art, please return to /x/
>>558923595>How is that any different from the OG Marathons or the Halo series as a whole retardThat the company is going under now
>>558923498>>Game's gonna be sweaty as fuck.>That might be a good thing.Competitive mode 24/7 with no extra reward or pay. Competing for free? Do it, if you want.I'm buying it to kill the small portion of week one noobs.Then back to Arseraiders, I guess.
>>558923593all the clips i see are people mindlessly glazing it as they kill people unaware in under 2 seconds with a shotgun or sniper while sayin many variants of having a blast
>>558923595These games also draw a lot from gnosticism, did you ever wonder why Bungie likes the number 7 so much? Or why there was that whole deal with some dead animal's head being preserved in studio (was it a dog's head? I don't remember anymore).
>Bungie is not satanic
>>558923160From what I recall and please, correct me if I'm wrong but the games been in development since around Witch Queen I believe and has gone through two to three game directors to boot.First it was going to be a Single-Player game then they were thinking Extraction Shooter (extremely early private tests, I'm talking around the time of the very initial trailer for this game two years ago now with the character customization characters?) they invited Tarkov Players from around the globe and everyone hated it then it went silent and then we heard that they've changed it to a Hero Shooter then they had more private tests and people said it was to like other Hero Shooters so then they pivoted again BACK TOO extraction shooter genre BUT THEN they HIRED the Game Director for Valorant who left Valorant awhile ago and now HES the Game Director and he left the development team for Marathon LAST MONTH
>>558923593>his reading comprehension is this poorlol...
>>558923650They aren't even /x/. I am /x/. The actual "gnostic" media is another if it's purely that>COMMON RELIGIOUS THEMES AND HISTORICAL LINES OF THOUGHT INFLUENCE MEDIA BY INFLUENCING CREATORS???? BY BEING PART OF THE CULTURE???? OMG SO GNOSTICChristianity is part gnostic, fucking morons.
>>558923630Understandable, boss, thank you for the screenshots
>>558923510If that $250 million cost to make the game is true, they need to make double that in sales so like selling the game 10 million times or more
>>558923767>game director leaves a live-service game before it even initially releasesthe fuck lol, what do they do now? Is this normal for triple-A shit?
>>558923719>guys we totally are not mindraped from 15 years of gamergate culture war slop we just totally hate the game for no other reason
>Bungie needs to sell 10 gorillion copies otherwise Sony Yakuza will execute their families.BungieBros...
>>558923479>he mentioned asmongold againobsessed and mindbroken
>>558923382>are you making money yourself?>"LOOK YOU CAN'T GIVE AWAY THESE SECRETS"The answer must be no then because I wasn't asking for advice...Damn...Deadend wagers everywhere...
>>558923883250 million on fucking what?
>>558923941to be fair with the /x/chitzo, the industry waged a culture war against "the old audience" for 10 years first.
>>558923767ziegler is still the game director, he replaced the dude that had some sexual shit come out about him and never left, joe cross the old art director left recently, you might be confused
Having fun, has soul, will buy, done for now till launch. Happy and looking forward to playing. General is a circlejerk, will calm down, then will have good conversation. Stop fighting, touch grass, everyone should play what actually makes them happy. Gonna go jerk off.

>>558923137bitch are we doing this or not
>>558924098Returned to form.
>>558923263Same reason why you couldn’t ever get a Planescape Torment 2, people are too fucking stupid for the very particularly weirdness factor of that setting.
>>558924098Anon, everywhere is negative now. Only a very specific type of player is happy.
Who's gonna tell him that the most successful exfils are turbo rats
>>558923991this is the first time ive mentioned him but im glad your schizophrenia is acting up and you are making associations that are not there!
>>558923941We were talking earlier that you faggots sound a lot like Mossad posters, aren't you like supposed to be all hands on deck over whoever Israel is bombing now?
>>558910870It's REslop, same as the last dozen REslops you've slopped upThe only RE game that was ever legitimately good was 4 (not remake)
>>558923767Don't forget saw Arc Raiders success, and tried to copy all the "friendly" features, like solo queue, proximity chat, dancing at extract with other players because you teammed up together, even streaming with Peanut WITH ALL BUNGIE EMPLOYEES and acting like it was arc raiders communtiy
>>558923263People don't like the setting? I just saw it was cool schizo core cyberpunk and moved on from thinking about it.
>>558924198>Only a very specific type of player is happy.*laughs in camper*BwwWWHHAHAHAHH UUUAHAHAH ahheheh eheheheh. Kukuku
>>558924098truth nuke

>>558924215I was ratting on the quest where you have to find the employee key card at the infested shack because I'm stupid and it took forever to find the grate on the roof. But while I was there, I killed like 4 people over the span of 10 minutes. They were probably trying to do the same quest
>>558924160There was also the leak that it was going to be a 3rd gambit mode and that was the same leak tied to what was eventually describing dares and the nine space there
>>558910870>Is the new resident evil game any good.Well it costs $70 and has 133% more players than Marathon(free). Yes
>>558924237Your speech patterns are very easy to recognize, don't play dumb.
>>558924301>totally not mindraped by the culture war guys>immediately thinks the poster is working for isrealthe goyim have gone insane
Caught a fellow rook by accident
>>558924198>Anon, everywhere is negative nowwow thats weird then why did arc raiders blow up?
>>558924008sounds stupid, but you unironically have to pay the people who work for you, you aren't paying for the amount of stuff they create, you are paying them an hourly wage (where like the average person they go jerk off, and waste time shitting in the bathroom on work time, and flirting with coworkers, so they don't actually spend 8 hours a day working)like a real job
>>558924491Bungie stands with israel thoughbeitever
>>558923020For anyone that didn’t play DMZ, is was extremely similar to Marathon. Enemy NPCs would take you out in seconds, PvP was brutal and over in seconds. World was full of secrets but no one knew how to do anything. The genre is very strange. Again, I don’t know why Bungie betted on the extraction meme. Because the environments in these games are so vicious, no multiplayer meta ever forms because you get picked off so easily. There is no top tier build when you still die in 1 second.
>>558924521because arc was a good game? how does one even come up with this cope?
>>558924465holy schizophrenic delusions of grandeur
>>558924521Chud...I'm warning you...
>>558924340I would argue it’s a flavor of sci fi most people especially normies hate. You ever play Corporation on DOS?
>>558924465he didn't like this post LMAO
How are arc bros feeling about this.Do they feel like marathon is a threat to their game?Are they confident?
I’m pairing up with some dude bros in the game and they’re getting absolutely steam rolled. They’re still using that same CoD B6 mentality but the game just punishes the fuck out of rushing. There is 0 trash talk in the game.
>>558924215they arent. the most successful players run across the map to rush other spawns, kill 1-3 teams and leave.
>>558924673They feel nothing at all lmao, majority of them probably don't even know Marathon exists and I'm not even joking, despite all the hostile marketing.
>>558924631I don't even know what dos is. But I love schizo cyberpunk.
I am a femra getting btfo in dire marsh by the pve exclusively
>>558909802me and friends have been stomping a lot of noobs though, not sure what youre on about
>>558924521holy shit lmao
>>558924673>How are arc bros feeling about this.Most of them probably don't even know it exists.
>>558924485I expect the lore within this game to be as complex, profound and intricate as the original trilogy's. Anything less would be further disservice
>>558924749This, the secret to winning the pvp fights is to arrive first at the enemy position, if they find you first you are done for
>>558923941>pretending that Bungo being pro-child grooming and castration is not a legitimate reason to hate themThe game being bad is the cherry on top. You lost, bung shill.
one marathillion players soon
>>558924485Thats never happen, but they deserved it
>>558924587I know it wasn’t gonna pry CoD kiddies off the usual or people away from WZ 2.0 but if DMZ had a little more stakes involved,harder to get vests , way less/no UAV towers, better rewards for more demanding questing, it could’ve been a lot better. You are right though you pretty much needed to backpack a basic floor pump shotgun to chew threw garbage in forts
>>558924673the people most upset about marathon are D2 players>steal their devs to make the game>if the game is good D2 gets sunset>if the game is bad bungie dies and D2 dies
>>558924673most of the negative posters ive seen about this game have brought up arc in comparison, so yes they feel threatened for some reason, they shouldnt bc arc is more successful, but they are obsessed with needless dick measuring, sorta like rivals and overwatch
>>558924849>Anything less would be further disserviceAnon...
>>558924769>majority of them probably don't even know Marathon existsthats not true they paid peanut to stream this for 3 days every single one of his viewers is some retarded arc fan. they absolutely know about this game.
>>558924810>a lot of noobsIn a free beta. How many of them are gonna pay $40? Less than 20% of them are buying it.
>>558924372You are brown and capcucked
>>558924673Bungie is fucking terrified of Arc
>>558924979are you 40?
>>558924876>culture war rape victim award
>>558924772Basically one of the many sci fi first person shooters with some blobber rpg elements , I’m pretty sure it came before Wolfenstein3D
>>558924673we checked if the game is friendly and when it wasn't uninstalled the beta
>>558924903speaking from experience, the only people who constantly bring up Arc are mindbroken Bungie shills, there's a reason why it was the only game title with a filter during the slam launch and why Bungie tried so hard to scrub it under the rug minutes after it was found out.
>>558924992no sir I assure you I am as white as mountain snow
>>558925002i FUCK arc raiders
>>558924903We are laughing at you. After you fags were shitting up the threads and over at /v/, we can finally gloat. Vibe shift my ass. Everyone still hates this garbage.
>>558924849You haven’t seen the talent writing lore at Bungie have you? Expect soap opera and actual gay self inserts
>>558924968That's only because Peanut played a lot of Arc earlier, so his audience is rightfully shaken and disappointed that he's shilling Marathon so hard now.
>>558924673ARC is going to evolve into it's own thing with a social hub and a mix of PVE and PVP. It even might become more of an MMO and fill the void Destiny left (I'm not a Destiny player). I want marathon to succeed for an alternative and act as a flame under Embark's ass for them to push content so I'm hoping Marathon has some success. I'm mixed on Marathon. I love the design because it reminds me of Chris Foss + MDE, but the beta doesn't have any magic. I also have been watching Bungie from afar and am hesitant to give them any money ever since they fully abandoned Halo. Mone of the originals are there. Plus the plagiarism. Willing to give it a chance, will play out the beta and decide if I want to spend the money.
>>558925051its hilarious i wanted to go into this game straight up wanting to pvp then i saw that the ttk was complete dogshit and got turned off immediately
>>558925054i could spend the time gathering screenshots from retarded arc players that constantly compare but icbf>>558925148shitting up the thread on /v/? arc threads? what the fuck are you even talking about?
>>558924849The OG writers have been gone for decades and all that remain are pozzed, terrible writers who worked on things like modern Magic and such.
>>558925159I haven't been involved with anything Bungie-related since Halo: Reach. My friend tells me they aren't the same, and it seems about right. It's truly over...If I had a rocket launcher, I'd make somebody pay
Do DCONs not work unless you're on a mission lmao?I just stuffed 2 weapon mods into one and exfiled normally and got jack shit.
>>558925159>I expect the lore within this game to be as complex, profound and intricate as the original trilogy's. Anything less would be further disserviceNarrative lead is the gay guy with the gay furry tattoo and rainbow hair, black guy to the right of him is the producer. Sorry, it's going to be fagslop.
>>558925193multiple people who worked on halo 2 and halo 3 are working on marathon
>>558925501Name more than 3
>>558925597Chuds lost
>>558925319Oh it’s bad. I am no chud wingnut but the direction and imagination of more recent story people and concept writers borderlines on smug fan fiction amateur hour, Destiny was vague and unwieldy but it held a degree of mystery to prompt curiosity and then it became rail roaded crap and bizarrely too much like a soap opera and melodrama. Right now for what I’ve seen with the very little bits of logs for nu Marathon, I mean it’s kind of inoffensive enough but I don’t really see the execution of the original series’ spirit in tact because a lot of people don’t get this kind of sci fi that had the essence of Jason Jones taking simple metaphors and combining it with referential philosophical shit, mythology, historical shit etc. people are too much caught up on vibe over substance even in lore
>>558923939IIRC when the 3.6 billion dollar Bungie deal went down, at least 1.2 billion was spent on retaining employees via share bonuses or something. I'm too retarded to know all these ins and outs, but it seems the gist is that some higher up Bungie employees would have been paid a lot more for sticking around to ensure Marathon gets out the door or that they at least stuck around for a few years. Now that Marathon is out the door, even with the game being as shitty as it is those higher ups are likely cashing in their stocks and leaving.
>>558925571surechris butcher - halo 2 engineering lead, now marathon's gameplay eng lead + tiger engine bossjason jones - bungie co-founder, led halo ce/2 + original marathon, advising the rebootlars bakken - halo 3 mp designer, now senior design lead on marathon steve cotton- creative director
>>558925868So 4 total? lol
>>558925906nta but out of my ass i am saying 5% of the dev team. prove it wrong
>>558925483>totally not mindraped by the culture war btwkek i just love how you fucking morons keep exposing yourself, i like that you probably have countless images of gay people and blacks decorating your hard drive along with your lolicon
>>5589259915% of 850 is 42. You should be able to name more than 4 if it was 5%.
>>558925906they asked for more than 3 fucker, im not spending my entire fucking day listing the employees on the game, obviously there has been turnover from when halo came out 20 years ago, but there are still key bungie leads there from the early days
>super interested in the game>zero motivation to actually play itMaybe its the extraction genre
>>558926131I accept your concession.
>>558926101your concession is delicious, thank you anon
>>558926219this
>>558925997Sorry for noticing
Reading the shell descriptions none of them sound fun to play AT ALL. I turned it off after the tutorial but the shield guy didn't leave me wanting more nor hopeful that the rest would be interesting from their blurbs.
>>558926172The extraction genre is shit but everything is wiping anyway so why would you engage in the repetitive task to gear up?And holy fuck, are they repetitive. Literally go to a point and press E.
>>558926267the whole game isn't fun
>>558926219holy fuck you are literally rotting rape filth, anita sakeesian fucked your mind when you were young and her cum is still rotting your brain years later, hopefully you get a productive hobby one day.
>>558926268You will pay $40 to do it again on Thursday, right?
>>558926382LMAO
>>558926335The genre would be whatever if the shells were engaging to dick around with in the environment.
>>55892638230 on keysites :)But still no. I bought arc a few days ago and want to give that a try. Unless marathon is hiding really good pve and maps that aren't flat bullshit with block buildings it's going to get boring even if I enjoyed collecting gun of firing +5 to stomp undergeared for their equally boring gear.
>>558926382I paid $0 and haven't even opened the gameThe chance of paying $40 is low
i swear like 50% of the people saying its shit/good aren't even playing it themselves and thats probably the most obnoxious part.I wanted to like itthe balance and ttk is dogshitso now im leaning towards hating it and repeating my sentimentsbungie aint gonna fuckin listen to anyone if they keep mindlessly glazing it as they are not listening to people mindlessly shitting on it
>go to the boss of the marshland because there is always someone that died there>Arrive one dead dude loaded to the brim with 3 guns and gear.>Literally a free paydaywhy aren't you paying rook and vulturing around?
>>558926684>Game has 1 good character for pornIt's never been more over
>>558926668I played it for five hours. Even if you accept the premise of extraction shooters being about the tension the low TTK blows that out of the water. I'll either blow someone up or be blow up, the chance of disengagement is zero and the chance of randomly running into someone on the small feeling maps is near 100%. It's probably better with a full crew but I don't think it will get the funny teamwork meta helldivers 2 had so I just expect that to be more silent team deatchmatch. The whole game is just too fast paced. And once you factor out the pvp it's just boring. Haphazard loot boxes scattered around mostly with trash in them. It doesn't exactly feel like raiding an armory for guns.
>>558926668I played it, predicted it would be shit, wanted to like it, didn't really have much skill issue with the PvP, extracted quite a lot but the game itself felt tiring to play and I wasn't having fun, so I just stopped and enjoy shitting on it, schadenfreude is very nice.>bungie aint gonna fuckin listen to anyonethat's their own fucking problem, the complaints are there for a reason, if they're gonna cover their ears then they shouldn't be surprised when they end up trying to find a job in this hellish economy come a few months.
nailed two in marshlands
>>558926734bungie is gonna have to work real fast with making new runner shells if they want the game to survive
>>558927085I feel like as pvp went on the instant deaths started coming less. Makes me think aim assist was super high on that first day.
the game is fun and i preordered
>>558927092>I am cancerman hear me roarI understand you are both playing the game right and probably having fun but rook is an amazing example of how toxic the game can be. He probably even shouldn't be able to damage players like he does.
>>558926734thief is way hotter than vandal what are you on about
>>558927158>>558927085only played it with squads first day and ttk just from one guy shooting you is bad, i imagine its worst laterskill issue will never apply to me because the shit killing me is invisible cloaked 1 tap shotguns or sniper rifles taking almost all my healthshit will not feel good for the casual idiots "learning" if they even want to play this type of game to begin with. should have never been an extraction shooter if they wanted to go this ttk route
>>558927092nice mate i did the same with rook last night!
>>558927253It's 1v3. I don't understand why people think rook is overpowered. He would be if it was 1v1s because he is always kitted but for 1v3s he doesn't even have an ability.
Another weird design decision and idea from Bungie are the Factions.Leading up to this Server Slam I had assumed we get to choose a faction and join them akin to something from World of Warcraft or some such.Instead you have to level up all the factions to even survive or get certain things>CyAcme gives you the inventory space and increase in passive credit economy as well as giving Rook credits>NuCal gets you and unlocks all the health, shield and food related items in the store as well as gives you permanent season long resistances to debuffs from hacking bullshit to the poison plants and rooms you come across as well as giving Rook their starter health and shield kits>Traxus gives you all the gun mods that aren't related to HMGs and LMGs as well as giving Rook a green gun to start with>MIDA is anything and everything related to grenades and explosives/traps and giving Rook Claymores to use>Archnes entire talent tree is dedicated to LMG and HMGs, Finishers and Revival speed while giving Rook free implantsAnd then you have weird things too, so if you don't have any guns or grenades that have toxin you can't complete some of the primary story missions from other factions until you go down MIDAs tree to get the chem grenades to complete a quest from NuCal>image related, this game will last one to two seasons and then Bungie will be liquidated
>>558927253Bro, if your situational awareness is so terrible you can't spot a 2meter tall giant robot rushing towards you with a knife then i am sorry but you need to pay attentionAlso one of them had this on him, its useless to me because my wallet is maxed out so i won't even get any money from it but i find it funny
>>558927267Thief has no ass, neither does Glitch or Vandal or whatever the fuck she's called this month, but she at least has the clothes to hide it.
>>558927454doesn't help that enemies spawn out of thin fuckin air in this game
>>558927360have you played tarkov? the TTK is much faster there and it has been the main extraction shooter for what 6 years now?
>>558927396>I don't understand why people think rook is overpowered.Having nothing at stake in an extraction shooter is as overpowered as you can get.
>>558927529oh the military simulator jank mod made for a jank game?makes sense if you think every game has to be like that and just copy the formula for every game not realizing this type of shit only works in a, ahem>military sim
>>558927596just shoot the robot
>>558927453It's just to make you grind more bars. That's all. Also nucal is the best to start with because shields trump everything which is pretty dumb.
>>558927464vandal does have ass actually, and r34 artists just need to draw thief one, not like they make porn with the actual in game engine
>>558927643He can also blend in with the UESC and they're not hostile towards him. That's fucking crazy.
>>558927716If you shoot him the buff is removed and the ability goes on a giant CD
>>558927529you do know their vision was to have a higher ttk? why else would they give all these different abilities to increase dps from shooting someone when its not needed in this current build?they really dont know waht they are doing, and it doesn't help we got niggers like you defending it
>>558927716In this case i am mostly jumping people on my own, i have found eusc to be actually really annoying because you cant sprint around them
>>558927697>Here's some 3D pig whore in leggingsI accept your concession
>>558922659i like it enough but knowing we >dont get access to the whole game >dont carry over even cosmetic progress>dont get rewards for playing the sever slam except for more loot which we can get ingame anyways>are going to be subject to whatever changes they do from now to releasemeans there's little point in playing now unless you are that addicted
>>558927596you've got to be fucking trolling, its literally a tarkov scav>>558927716the second he shoots he loses his stealth, or sprints, its not that strong
>>558927916The second he shoots you're dead because of the TTK
This "game" kinda sucks
>>558925868lol Jason jones isn’t doing shit for this game you mongoloid. That entire old guard are basically nodding at best in made up roles and counting down til the pension plan kicks in, stop framing these people like they’re even close to doing anything remotely hands on or reminiscent to their past jobs. Absolutely fascinating how fucking retarded you could be.
>>558927697recon unmasked a cute, just give her a real ass
>>558927772i have played all the tests, the TTK has varied a lot, i think it is fine currently, especially since most people only have white or green shields, things will balance out once blue + purple enter the mix
>>558928051shooting?
>>558927092The second unlocking that Arachne upgrade that gives Rook the double barrel and shotgun ammo is gonna be good eating
I know we’re on 4chan, but the game needs to be a bit more anime-y.
>>558922986Struck a nerve fagboy?
>>558928051and then the UESC bots turn on him and so do the 2 other players lol
>>558928093oh yeah what were the parameters? this rhetoric about shields will fix the issue is complete fuckin' nonsense unless you tell me how they exactly hired random niggers like you to test it out for them and we still came to the conclusion that this is "fine"
>>558928207That would be transphobic and set unrealistic body expectations of women and their cocks
I'm tempted to get arc raiders now.
>>558928470its even the same price, its like they want me to refund
>>558928270why are you so upset, how about we wait like 4 days to see how it plays out and then we give feedback if it is still too fast
>>558928207>I know we’re on 4chan, but the game needs to be a bit more anime-y.4chan is an anime website, you shouldnt be afraid to say this
>opens thread>about a 3rd of the thread is filtered Is /v/ and /dg/ really spending their weekend here shitposting?
>>558928519because you're are spewing nonsense and bungie isn't known for listening and fixing shit.
>>558928536We're having a blast and preordering. Bungie cooked.
>>558928470It’s the exact same game, don’t be fooled by people. Neither game is better or worse.
>>558928470its mostly PVE friendscape, but its funny to kill the pve retards and hear them moan and complain, progression is severely lacking though
>>558928576im just saying wait and see how it plays with higher tier shields, ive come across one blue shield in my 20 hours so far
I swear the game feels slower than Halo CE.
call me a retard but the health and shield bars make no immediate sense to me.
>>558928786It is
>>558927663Yep!Not sure who to go for after NuCal
>>558919479>This feels like satanism to be honest.10,000% it is, what’s going on here are man made horrors beyond our comprehension.>>558919417>They are so unambiguous that you can tell Triage is Black and Thief is Asian.>Triage is from at least 1/3rd of the human population and Thief is at least from the other 1/3rd.Wow anon, you really nailed it down. Next your going to tell me there's no difference between slavs and the french, they are just 'white'.
>>558928470The illusion of choice we give the goyim makes me laugh every time. We can tell it to their faces and they still won't do a damn thing about it. Your money is ours either way. There's no way out.
>>558928641Does arc not have progression or something?
>>558928783yeah guess what goes with higher tier shields? better higher tier mods and weapons.you're full of shit anon. playtesters my fuckin asshole nigga
>>558928192I thought you were kidding, your weren't
>>558928843>Next your going to tell me there's no difference between slavs and the frenchWhy are you trying to start shit between fellow whites?
>>558928880>graphic design is my passion
>>558928880this has to be built for streamers to be toxic with.
>>558929021that's why they load you in against groups to stomp on
Literally just wiped a trio
man this thread is flooded with mossad now, shouldn't they be like, making sure israel doesn't get bombed or something?
>>558928869i have 70 more hours on my second steam account, but ok
This game is literally more high stakes and niche than Tarkov due to the lack of the safe wallet. That's a bad thing for player numbers.
>>558929094no one finds you schizos interesting enough, tiktok and twitter stole your bitfuck off already
>>558929094You'd think people would be too busy playing the game
>spawn into dire marsh as rook>enemy team literally staring at me as I spawn>immediately killed>queue into another game as rook>same thing happensAre the rook spawns on Dire Marsh just fucked or something?
People aren’t smart enough for this game. They’re taking out ticks with bullets, running headfirst into UESC bots getting baited by revives. The average person can’t play a game of this caliber, let alone Fortnite.
>>558929080Here is the third body
>>558929163its funny because theres no reason for it to be. none of the loot matters and knowing you can die by literally anyone sneezing your direction makes you not give a fuck
>>558929163pvpfags really be like>we think the devs will support us when theres only 500 players and we dont buy cosmetics or the battle pass
>>558929101yet you dont answer my question on what the parameters were for testing. did you spawn in with whatever you wanted? did you have to farm the gear yourself? what was the longest ttk ever in any version?you're not helping your case at fuckin all >it will get better!you're either a bungie employee or a fuckin content creator shilling nigger
>>558928863not really and very poor item/weapon diversity, there are like 1-2 meta guns, theres just nothing to do after like 50-100 hours, still fun up until then but im not joking when i say its a PVE simulator, picrel sentiment is very common and many people just play a fully PVE game because they have aggression based matchmaking which allows people to segregate themselves from ever having PVP, people WILL whine like crazy if you shoot them because the culture is so PVE oriented
>>558929405>theres just nothing to do after 100 hoursLMAO
>>558929094We're here to monitor (You). We will be in touch shortly.
>>558929383dude you're legit demented and deranged, all the tests were similar to this in that you start with nothing and have to build a vault, one test unlocked max gear for everyone but i didnt play it much atp, but i played vs purple shields on outpost plenty and i had no problem with ttk, but you can keep seething i guess?
>>558929405ah, Well, i hope they add more guns and stuff.
>>558929163BRO THE MORE HARDCORE THE BETTERCATER TO STREAMERS WHO PLAY GAMES FOR 14 HOURS PER DAY
>>558929080>>558929237Proof on the trio wipe
>>558929635stop stabbing niggas bruh
>>558929571i do too bc i enjoy the game for what it is, and i hope they add hard end game maps you need to actually gear for, currently theres nothing like that, the majority of arc players are unironically like >>558929594 who just seethe at any difficult content whatsoever especially pvp, its basically helldivers for a majority of players atp due to the playerbases attitude
>>558929763The whole game is really difficult.
>>558929835You have a whole lobby of friendly players to help you.
>>558929835maybe for a dad gamer with 30 minutes to play a day
>>558929754I don't even do it for the money because i am maxed out in cash and my vault is full, i am literally having to sell everything just so i can get back to playing more
>>558929898exactly Marathon needs something like this>>558929908>YOU HAVE A JOB AND CAN ONLY PLAY FOR 2 HOURSyea, its called getting married and having a life
>>558930026alright the bait got too obvious good larp though
>>558929540>anon you're crazy!disingenuous faggot. keep telling people variants of "it will get better" before people snuff you out.
>>558929908Not even kids put up with this shit, stop pretending Marathon is actually gonna attract a younger audience, they're all busy playing Roblox and Fortnite because their parents are broke.
>>558930073>they can't imagine someone playing videogames AND having a job
>>558930116you are a very angry person, i hope you get better
>>558930116This is a meme right, why the fuck do people keep saying "Oh you just need to play it for X hours"No dude, I'm not going to eat shit for 8 hours hoping there is a mint in the middle
If they add a Hub where you can expend your credits on thingys and decorative doodads, there would no be problems with people having its credits full, just saying
>>558930198and here comes the morealfagging, ironic in a game about ruining other peoples time
no one talks in this game
>>558930198You're not very good at shilling this game. To this day I don't get what you hope to achieve with all this hostile marketing, you're only making it worse for yourselves.
>>558930215It's the new plan to get people over the refund window.
>>558930116You were given the best weapon in the game from the get go, its called a knife
>>558928075>the only cute runner>put obnoxious helmet on her
The game just sucksEvery POI is covered in worthless mooks and there's no loot outside of the POI's, so your only options are:>sit in a bush for 10 minutes until somebody else starts PVEing then gank them>try and loot a POI and coinflip whether you're going to get ambushed and executed in .02s by the squads sitting in bushes waiting to gank youThe pve <-> pvp loop is so poorly conceived that it's comical. And it was fucked back during the playtests too, so it's not like they didn't have time to fix it. Make the robots actually drop valuable items, make players movement louder- who knows. But do SOMETHING to fix this shit. I was really hoping this game would be worth playing
>>558930215They have to be paid bots or something>just play the game for 2hours and 1minute>it gets better once you cant refund I swear
>>558930342I am not sure why they didn't include an all chat. It would be neat.
>>558930405>the only cute runnerrude
>>558930360>talking to guy about how TTK will likely be less egregious when more shields come into play>he completely spergs out calling me a nigger, a shill, a faggot, ect ect>somehow i am a hostile marketing shill for wishing him well
>>558930405men shouldnt be playing girl runners it gives ick
>>558930406The UESC commanders drop good items. Also literally just plan your attack and try to kill the small dudes as fast as possible with a knife or just unload with nades
Another full wipe
>>558930441do you understand you do not pay anything playing the demo for more than 2 hours? you can play it for 50 hours and not pay anything, it is a demo.
>>558930493I wish they add a tts like r.e.p.o, I want to listen to cool robot voices not Pedro and Tyler shitty mics
Is anyone else getting bored of shitting on this game?
>decide to just Vandal ult to next POI because my randoms are doing random things - wandering around a single POI for 10 minutes achieving nothing>arrive, hear noises, decide to peak it>full trio, i must have spooked them as much as they spooked me, because i sprayed and ran away before they returned fire>as i get hiding in another building, my team arrives>try to spam ping and comms to get out / be careful, but instead they are fiddling with the gas chamber event and fucking around as usual >enemy team comes, but they are literally all stacked in a tight hallway>full charge my boop and fucking destroy them>my team actually cleans up>spend the next 10 minutes stood around picking through the loot completely unphased, even have to protect them from wandering UESC as they loot without reacting>catch the final guarded extrac with only a ~minute to spare because it was across the whole mapit's like herding blind fucking rabbits but lmao it made for an exhilarating run. these people have zero self-preservation instincts or awareness i swear.
>>558930657I commend you for being the only anon in this thread actually finding a way to have fun with this game.
>>558930493yea agreed, hope they add it>>558930674you have like verbal pings you can do actually, hold middle mouse button, can say like "friendly" "sorry" ect
>>558930657rookchad
>>558930734stfu bitch ass shilla
>>558930759>>558930801>>558930801and this guy tried to jump me and i got him too, sorry for the shitty screenshot my hands are shaking
>there are audio logs you can unlock by doing the challenges in the Codexwhy the fuck is this an extraction shooter again?
>>558930734Nah it's pretty fun, Bungie's demise is entertaining to watch especially since they're so high on their horse and not for one second thought this game was turning out to be pretty shit.
why didn't they add vehicles for wide open maps? It's so claustrophobic.>>558930734Kinda. there's nothing left anymore except the psycho killing people with rook. I am all played out, it's just grindy once you start avoiiding pvp to hit contracts. Maybe worth if if you like the idea of autofill teams in an extraction shooter. I saw some funny shit when I did that in sea of thieves, but everyone dies fast here so no time for funny bullshit like watching a kid struggle to do a basic riddle for ten minutes.
Why is there numbers and text on everything like it's an old yeezy sneaker
>>558930750>people learning the game on day 3 of live service>BILLIONS OF NORMIES SHOULD DIElet people read the Items lore bro is day 3
>>558930759rook is much more fun than the normal classes somehow
>>558930919ye creative director
i cant play the fucking game bc my isp is fucking up and i keep getting random ping spikes
>>558930919markers for the AI slaves that assemble shit
>>558930529pic unrelated?
>>558930785>you have like verbal pings you can do actually, hold middle mouse button, can say like "friendly" "sorry" ectwill try
>>558930978>0 downside to dying>always comes in with green shields and +8 backpack>self heal and ignores UESCYeah he's pretty cracked
>>558930919art team was watching too much world peace
>>558930671yea that isn't finished, its missing 2 map, essentially half the game
>>558931141>art team trannies were secretly based Chuds
>>558931167Map one is flat chokepoints. Map two is harder pve flat swap. What is three and four?
Now that assassin is confirmed shit, what's the best solo Q class?
Nerf Rook
>>558931293It's always been Destroyer but people aren't ready to understand why.
I thought this game was going to be f2p
>>558931263map 3 is like a layered UESC base on a moon, has a ship in the center called the pinwheel ship that needs keycard access or a secret unlock way via shooting these red lights at certain areas on it, its sorta mini raid like and more hardcore than the other two. map 4 is like a raid and supposed to be very hardcore on the marathon ship personally map 3 was my favorite but i didnt play map 4
>>558931346I don't think you can nerf rook anymore, we already spawn with a shitty pistlo and you cant fix people not paying attention to a robot running towards you with a knifeProof on the kills by the way
so wtf is a cryo archive? where is it? i got 2 golden tickets for it.
>>558931539its on the marathon ship, not unlocked yet, its the 4th map
>>558930493>>558930674I've played 10+ hours and had one person talk to me on mic, was on PC. Not a single console player talks, why?
>>558931451It sounds like they should have made the server slam map 3 if they wanted the arc raiders playerbase.
>>558931617yea i thought only allowing the first 2 maps was a mistake but what can you do
where are our flesh selves? on earth/mars? on some other planet in tau ceti? on some not-Marathon space station?also are we people or just like a data consciousness?
>>558931293Assassin is pretty great what do you mean? Well at least on the solo mode he is, his invis is very similar to Rook's disguise in functionality and his smoke cloud is BiS for exfiltrating and dealing with a bunch of UESC easily using the knife.
>>558931739OMFG IT WAS EXPLAINED IN THE FIRST CUSCENETHIS IS LIKE THE GUY NOT KNOWING WHY THERE ARE MOTHS AND SILKWORMS
>>558931739>where are our flesh selves?HAHAHAHHAYou're data on a cloud network that isn't deleted because you owe money and make money
>>558931739we need a HUB. NOW
why are there moths and silkworms all over the load screens?
i just played against a Vandal with golden shield, double barrel and some AR that kills me in 3 hits.i had a 5k kit but only a green shield. felt like there was literally nothing I could do.omg
>>558931617>3 if they wanted the arc raiders playerbase.>trying to solve the puzzle>get niggered in the backhow exactly would they have captured the arc playerbase?
>>558931853>CUSCENEI dont know men, on *** ****** people at least know they go back to Speranza, and they have a place to call home with a cute Roster (COCK!) petwe need a hub Bungie, please.
>>558931919he literally gaped your anus
>>558931919Welcome to extraction shooters, I was wondering when the sweats would start wiping lobbies with good gear
>>558931451>guys I swear the game is good you just need to play the part outside of the demo that takes a dozen hours to get to>this mythical 4th map is definitely really a raid experience>in our pvp gameWhy would anyone want to get there when the base experience is so middling to poor when the whole point is to lose everything when you do die? A raid will take you hours of wipes to learn the mechanics of. Even if you do succeed what's to stop someone from just camping and killing you after you've done the hard work without fundamentally compromising the vision? Why should someone care when they've not had a reason to even pretend given the beta?
>>558931954Obviously people are going to work together to beat the raids, like when everyone works together on the Bunker even in AR or fighting the Queen robot
>>558931954Runners would get stuck there and naturally talk to each other and team up. Right?
>>558931919>there was literally nothing I could doNever say that.
I actually feel sorta bad for the streamers they forced to play this slop non stop yesterday, so many slipped out that they hated the game and then had to take it back even though they had no #ad tag on their streams kek.
>>558932117>Obviously people are going to work togetherThis game is looking super unfriendly, the strategy will be to wipe the map and then do the raid with your team
>>558932065>Even if you do succeed what's to stop someone from just camping and killing you after you've done the hard work without fundamentally compromising the vision? Why should someone care when they've not had a reason to even pretend given the beta?Absolutely nothing. You ever play Dark and Darker? On most maps there is some type of little boss to fight. Most people whether in trios or solos dont bother fighting it because to the shock of no one, you get ganked if you engage in PvE before clearing the lobby. Wont be any different here and you can see it with the commander alpha or whatever his name is.
Is there a way to revive enemies?A triage surprised me and we both downed each other with our very last bullets. I got up with a self-revive but he was on the ground saying "I'm friendly" and there was nothing I could do :(
>>558931954People team up to defeat Matriarch all the time.As long there is enough loot/objective exp (contracts in this case?)
Dunked on some dudes but the EU killed me this time becuase i was low on HP
>>558932267They forgot to add the friendly part to this game, you cant revive enemies
>>558932206its literally illegal to stream without an #ad if you are not sponsored schizo retard
>>558932117>Obviously people are going to work together to beat the raidsThat has never been true in any extraction shooter and the reason lobbies in arc are friendly are because of the specific matchmaking they have to ensure pve players are mostly matched with pve players. You can see a microism of what will happen when there are harder pve mobs in the 2 maps we have now, theyre ignored and if theyre not ignored, someone will simply come by and dome you after you wasted your resources fighting the npcs.
>>558932324>inventory value: -341kek
>>558930734I would be happy if it was a game that could live up to old Marathon, Halo, or Destiny 1 and 2 in its own way, but it feels extremely sloppy. It feels more like a project made by an amateurish studio instead of a game made by Bungie up to Forsaken era D2, let alone WQ-era D2.
>>558932117>>558932123>>558932309Nobody is sure, and even if that happens, what's to stop someone from "ratting" at the "extract"I think some Arc Raiderers are waiting to see if a friendly playerbase that uses proximity chat forms, but it is not looking that way
>>558932341Man you're still lurking here? Peanut said out loud that he got paid then quickly took it back after mentioning legal consequences, it's not even a sectet.
>>558932158i could have played a little better to be fair.me and my teammate both peeked him and he shot a charged vandal shot at us then just instantly killed us both. the fuck?first time i experience gear disparity.>>558932048nigga i have 1.2k hours in tarkov and never had a problem. you can rock shit (mid tier) gear all wipe and be fine in tarkov. noone survives a bullet to the face.this game doesnt have that mechanic
Why would you share you raid rewards with some other team??
>>558932309>People team up to defeat Matriarch all the time.Again stop using Arc Raiders as proof when every other extraction shooter does not work with PvE. Arc has ABMM. That is how those lobbies can clear bosses. If you played in pvp lobbies those bosses are not getting cleared up without a million guys beelining to your position.
>>558932472As long as they let revive outside of your Team, it could work. If there is not way to revive an "enemy" teaming is dead
>>558932267Throw a self-revive at them? That supposedly worked in some pre-release content, but I don't know if it actually does.
>>558930759You should doing it too, if the entire thread starts running rook knife only i bet we can start some drama
Isn't Tarkov KoScity, I don't even think the SCAVs are chill with each other anymore.
>>558932607>as proofNTA but its a comparison, that was peoples first extraction shooter, this one might have been if it came out sooner
>>558932472>what's to stop someone from "ratting" at the "extract"Nothing but that is the fun part, even in arc. Right? Enemy revive is important though.
>>558932665good, fuck scav mains.
>>558932720Yea defibs are a big part in Arc weird you can't do it here
>>558932670>NTA but its a comparison, that was peoples first extraction shooter, this one might have been if it came out soonerAnd we have proof in this game too that pve is not going to happen without lobby wipes. Yet you somehow think that when the bosses become even more HP bloated that for whatever reason, people will magically start holding hands and working together to get loot. You cant shoot regular mooks without somebody looking to knife you in the back. It will not work when the stakes are even higher and the gear is more expensive.
>>558932607Arc had friendly lobbies before ABMM.
>>558932831nta but if anything, it sounds like the Marathon will be a farm spot for gank kills to steal high level gear and make quick money off other players, imagine how broken fully kitted Rooks are gonna be on the Marathon ship.
>>558932831Well yea, if we work together we can all beat the boss and get the loot :D
Disembodied killbots cant be friendlyWe need a Hub, a place to call home, so the hearts of the Runners soften a little so we have a chance of friendly lobbies and Healthy player numbers.Please bungie tranny shills, do it. I know you are listening
I feel like I’m playing the game wrong. It doesn’t feel like there’s any real incentive to bring in good gear if you’re lacking it in the vault. About 40% of games are a successful extraction, so the loss is high.
Ohhhhhh Triage is Gaz from reboot MW
>>558932963>nta but if anything, it sounds like the Marathon will be a farm spot for gank kills to steal high level gear and make quick money off other players, imagine how broken fully kitted Rooks are gonna be on the Marathon ship.Finna be brazy
>>558932963I've heard that cryo archive needs a key to access, so I'm not sure if rooks can just drop in on that one.
Dunked on two nerds, they were carrying fucking purple gear, the third one fled from me and extracted
Discounting the existence of Arachne, there's almost no reason for the Runners to be really fighting each other, aren't they all working for the corps? How does it help them when their runners are all killing each other and could be damaging equipment? All of the factions seemingly have their own goals and don't really seem to oppose each other, like why not just send a focused squad to actually grab the shit they need instead of wasting trillions on shells to do the most basic shit? Arachne is the only reason Runners would kill each other and even they just seem like sadistic retards.
>>558932525yea for his 2 hour sponsor stream you mongoloid
>>558933257In theory if I drop in at a point to do a contract and there is another player going for the same terminal I have zero reason to fight him. However the TTK is low and the AI is mostly avoidable, so it's usually kos.
>>558933257Turns out adding PvP to a PvE centric games makes the lore weird
>>558933253Forgot my pic, this is what i got from them
>>558933257>there's almost no reason for the Runners to be really fighting each other, aren't they all working for the corps?They feel disenfranchised because the lack of Housing an a Hub with a Pet. Also ONI should have a full body version that hang out on a screen at your hub.
>>558933380Yeah and Arc Raiders wasn't filtered in the chat either! Bungie confirmed it right?
>>558933257its a video game bro dont think too hard about it
>>558933075what's it doing otherwise? filling up your vault? i get so much stuff from ranking up and/or one good run wiping a team, i bring in good gear because it's fun to use. and i can't store it all anyway.usually i'm very risk averse and get gear fear. but even though Marathon is very KOS and has high gear churn, i don't give a fuck hoarding it. it's pretty easy come, easy go.
>>558933257Corporations hate each other, anon.
>>558933410I'd quit the game
>>558933442you are so sad
>>558933528Your game is sad lmaoooooo
>>558933417>the corporate property feels disenfranchisedsurprising!
>>558933410>>558933253Proof on the kills
>>558933564kek
>>558932845>Arc had friendly lobbies before ABMM.Why do you think they added it in the first place? The dads were bitching about getting extract camped and bitching about PvP. Without ABMM, those raid bosses aren't getting completed by the lobby.
>>558933568GIVE ME HUB SHILL
>>558933579Rookchad, I genuinely kneel, you're genuinely one of the best things this thread has produced.
>>558933406>PvE centric gamesShut up sissy bitch, extraction games are not PvE centric
>>558933709THIS GAME WASNT SUPPOSED TO BE AN EXTRACTION SHOOTER YOU COMPLETE MORON
>rook chaddo it on your character, nerdwe both know you never risk anything on your character but hold W on scav and die 90% of the time
>>558933784it's not like there's much to lose on characters either with sponsored kits
>>558933013I said it before, the lore and world itself is too hostile. Listen to that menu music while you ready up. Making it more co-op friendly would mean changing the entire thing from the ground up.
How do I use Destroyer properly?>Shield does nothing>Rockets do no damage
>>558933989lol
>>558933951>sponsored kitsyeah thanks for proving me right, notice how I literally said you never risk anything, dumb retard
>>558933754I'm camping at an extract point for 125 seconds now
>>558933989Walk up to someone with a shotgun and shoot them
>>558933526I would quit too if i lost purple, the third man got lucky and extracted before i noticed he went up to leave>>558933706You can be too, just play rook and knife, its genuinely really engaging and way more fun than shooting people, also you can respawn almost instantly and you don't have to worry about teammates or any of that bullshit.Genuinely its a 10/10 experience>>558933784I can't fucking stand being forced to wait 3 min to play with randoms that aren't helpful also the respawn timer on rook is almost instant, if i die i can just immediately jump back in no problem, no waiting no queue, nothing.I unironically reccomend it, also going up against groups of 3 makes it even more fun because they can kill you pretty easy if they are communicating Anyways, i am out for today, i am off to sleep. maybe tomorrow i'll keep dunking on people
>>558933564its not my game, and i like that you didnt refute me calling you sad, because you know deep down that i am correct.
>>558934031you are dense
but which timeline does this game take place in? i'm gonna assume 1? or some brand new timeline given we get the durandal appearance who may be the ascended version from the end of infinity?
>>558934161typed from Bungie HQ while holding back tears
>>558933961They can make it very hostile and dystopic, like a clearly fake an glitchy cyber space, with some semblance of humanity, like window to nowhere.For example one of the lines where you start the run say something like "engaging positive talk: You can do it" or something like that, a very fake and soul less statement.But that same hub can be excuse to have more clear UI, Arc raiders have maybe the same or more menus, but half of them are called something humanly recognizable like "crafting bench" etc.On Marathon UI that would be another small square with a small shape that you have to learn to click? You see where Im goingIf they make a hub, even if its a gross lab with moths printing a human, people would click on the recognisible places to get to the vault, load outs etc, even the shop or cosmetics.Also a "Expedition" kind of objective like: You can call Earth, or regain your childhood memories, Send back to a ghetto planet with a "real" "human" "body" to "enjoy" life again, or something bitter sweat and dystopic would make people engage long term with the lore.Even Warhammer40 have normal farms and lives out there in between the grimmdark filth
>>558933257It doesn’t. There’s no conflicting objectives between corporations. The only lore reason that would make sense is that if certain runners were UESC agents under cover. In a real situation, you would have large squad of 20 working together trying to do these objectives in a sweep.
>>558933564You gotta be over 18 to post here cousin
>>558934374It's probably whatever alternate timeline didn't get buttfucked by the W'rkncacnter considering it's a full 100+ years after Marathon1.
>>558934309you are a rook main that never risks any gear.
>>558934632Chonker status? is he a nameless cat?I wish Marathon let you have a pet cat (LIKE IN THE FUCKING TRAILER)
>>558934632Wristlet alarmt. Fellow wristlet
>>558934374Devs said the events of Infinity happened in this
>>558934669Not himGear is fake as fuck bro, i keep telling you guys to use knives but you don't listen.The problem is that the guns are fake as shit and deal no damage. you can kill people faster with the knife.You are welcome
>as much as I wanted to like marathon, it's not doing it for me>done pretty much everything there is to do in arc>current fortnite season is pooain't easy being a slop enjoyer. through is empty
>>558934517Bungie has already done things like this in the past like Destiny's Tower, or D1's other social hubs, so its not like they couldn't do it to Marathon besides the fact that they're lazy.
>>558934645I see, the dates must have gone over my head as I didn't realise it was 100 years after 1, but the colony doesn't seem to be abandoned for that long? wasn't it destroyed offscreen in the years between 1 and 2?
>>558934704Her name is Birdie, she's from a shelter. Likes people, but hates animals. >>558934750Am 6ft3 my wrist is bigger than you think...
>>558934669there is no reason to risk gear other than make room in your vault, or to flex
>>558934467>schizophrenic delusions continuelol
>>558934884I'd have to watch the intro video again but they said it was 100 years since the ship lost contact with UESC/Earth and they only just got an emergency broadcast when it reappeared over Tau Ceti IV. We don't have any idea how long the actual colony persisted in the interim or if it even got destroyed in this timeline. Marathon 2 and 3 might not have even happened in this one.
>>558933564this post really angered the shills
>>558934780oh for fucks sake now i'm gonna have to spend ages trying to figure it out, lets hope it's just "it's a new timeline" so I don't have to worry too much
>>558931346Unironically, why the fuck does he get a free green shield and a backpack by default? He literally starts off better than an actual runner shell at baseline.
>>558935025wasnt there a message you sent to earth in 1 that took something like 90+ years for earth to recieve? perhaps it's referencing that?
>>558935084Bungie mentioned multiple times that they had no idea where to take the narrative, the game is more like an alternate story taking place in the same universe than a proper continuation, all the OG writers are gone too. It will most likely be underwhelming.
>>558935220Yep I believe it's supposed to be one and the same.
>>558935193To compensate for spawning with no real weapons

>>558935193>Unironically, why the fuck does he get a free green shield and a backpack by default? He literally starts off better than an actual runner shell at baseline.Lets say somebody need some... sacrifices
Who drew all this shit in the walls in the game
>>558935331MIDA members
>>558935331Some troon on twitter
>>558935307>page 7Retard
>you can get a thermal, spam smokes and kill everyone thru smokelol
>>558935297the compensation is being able to go invisible to bots. Knife is all you need to clear low tier bots and you shouldn't even be considering fighting anything more as the fucking shitty scavbot that's the entire point
>>558934916the reason is because its fun to run a good kit and increases your chances of survival (usually).you just lack skill but want to see number go up, hence you spam rook.if you were to actually risk gear you'd just shit your pants and sit in a corner all raid.
>>558935462You only get 10 seconds wih a ton of restrictions.Unironically its much more efficient to learn the aggro distances and how to run past everything. All of rook's skills could be deleted and it wouldn't make much of a difference
Thermal scopes are actually fucking great, they cut through the fog weather too when the map rolls that.
>>5589349036'3 too kek
>>558934517it is weird how their "lore" reason for a wipe is that the whole game revolves around you owing money to corpos and they just take your whole inventory every season
>General Sam hasn't done a Marathon vid or stream yetGrim
>>558935906See? An expedition make more sense, Imagine that the reason is that you are getting more and more "glitched" and they let you "pay" for the "privilege" of have a shitty life outside of the payroll, thats a very corpo thing? like how miners get on debt to buy food from the company.Or maybe you runners became more "independant" and "human" the more time they are outside on a run, so they WANT to get rid of "seasoned" runners (like corpos fire old employees irl) so they let you pay $1million credits to be send to ghetto earth or something.Please bungie shills, do something like that!
What they should have done is each seasonal reset is you jumping timelines and even slightly mix up the factions and their goals.
>>558936370you cant just add slop to every other word!what does even a sloptubber does? what make a youtube video script slop?
>>558935906how is that weird? It's a pretty sensible justification to me, only thing that doesn't make sense is the faction upgrades also resetting
>>558936464this reset make more sense>>558936247a galactic spanning corporation would not care about my shitty loot consisitng on 200 red flood chitlins
>>558921568they're green and worth 80 credits, I find them in containers sometimes but also buyable in armory
Today I will camp the extract and let everyone knows how it went.
What's with all the satanic imagery when you're searching for a match?
>>558937094You're killing the game
>>558937138Bungie worships baal and moloch
>>558937094I died within 30s...I didn't get to camp the extract...
bungie rape needs to be studied

>>558938092It's the currency you get with real money
>>558938391so the moths are there just to explain why the premium currency is called weave? nothing else?
>>558938483Yeah
>>558938516
>>558937205Bungie is Phoenician?
>>558932048>>558931919I hope you guys realize that within 3-4 days of the full games release the 1% of the playerbase is going to effectively have the game on lockdown due to gear disparity (there's no counterplay like Tarkov) and just endlessly farm people until the population drops to like 10k within a week.
>>558940231I was watching a team of 3 win every single lobby they joined with a set of 1 shot snipers with thermal sights. literally nothing you can do against it
>>558940505>one shot snipersI thought it always took a headshot and a bodyshot with a sniper to instadown? Were the people they were shooting not equipped with green shields?

>>558944451This is making me schizophrenic>overall its goodlol>they made some improvements from the playtestsyea? what?>they added more guns, I thought there were only 5 guns beforeyea? what are those guns? how many are there?>I like that the longer the raid goes the better the loot gets>THE LOOT IS STILL GOOD BUT ITS BETTER LATER IN THE GAMEall of the loot is shit>everyone talking about how this is a PvP focused game obviously>"Yea I like how the enemies get harder the longer you stay in the raid, and its just a very PvE focused game, I thought this would be more PvP, but its just heavily PvE driven"lol?>yea the loop is obviously you spawn in, 12 people in the lobby, kill 9 other people and the whole lobby is yours to lootI thought he just said it was a PvE focused gameholy fuck he's all over the place
>>558937138Yeah I feel like I'm being MKULTRA'd with the visual "art". Enough to ward me off from spending the 40$
