Erm, first.
reminder that recon has the best ass in this game, because vandal and thief have hank hill asses
Is there a polymarket bet on whether bungie will be euthanised in 2026?
>>559287685Recon sounded like a crackwhore in the trailer.
Why did they bother optimizing the game to run on a potato and take very little storage, only then to charge $40 for it.
Cheeseburger
>>559287685I wanna fuck recon so bad (with the helmet on ofc)>>559287742That makes my benis even harder.....
Assassin and Vandal high fiving after buck breaking triage was cute
>>559287809so brazilians can play it and kill you whytebois
>>559287809>storage size and optimization now dictate pricingI know this general has its fair share of retards but this is something else.
>>559287685Idk man, vandal's ass has a nice shape while recon and thief look like they wear diapers
gamalytic says it has sold a blistering 100k copies with one million wishlists for launch day purchase.
>>559287927do shells gag? make her choke
>>559288159THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO GET TO THE MARATHON! WE MUST DISCOVER IF THEY NEED TO BREATHE! IF THEY NEED TO BREATHE THEY CAN GAG (most likely)!
does anyone want to buy me the deluxe edition
does anyone want to buy me the deluxe edition please saar
does recon farts a lot?
>>559287685>big lips>big booty>black birdWhat did Bungie actually mean by-Who am I kidding, games are full of devs fetished
Thief is BWC only
>there are people who can't afford a $40 gameo i am laffin
d-does anyone... (ノωヽ) want to buy me the deluxe edition... {{ (>_<) }} onegaishimasu! (°◡°)
what shall be done to the haters after this game's success?
>>559288515make them transition and become like us :3
>>559288462If you make that Destroyer shell dancing to the Infinity theme then yes
I will buy you the deluxe edition but only if you are cute and post proof.
Don't buy me marathon, Bungie already gave me a key and called me their princess...I used my media pass...
>>559288613*sends you a pic of generic smooth legs*
>>559287685blackbird/recon is the best girl
>>559287685god that looks like shit lol
>>559288668I expect cock and timestamp lil gupper
im actually so hyped for tomorrow bros. im dialed in
>>559288057dawg theres nothing there
>>559288928thats two days you dumbass
more like dilated in
>>559289040You might be autistic, anon.
>>559289009There's an ass shape, recon and thief has blocks for ass dude
>retards thinking its coming out tmrlol you people are actually intellectually challenged, Its coming out on the 6th according to steam which is two days away in my timezone
>>559289191better a plump block than fuckall
>>559289214Go back to school retard
>>559289182retard the game comes out on Friday the 6th in Australia which is another two days away. Its Wednesday here.US is one day behind.You are genuinely fucking stupid dont give me that "autistic" shit you dog shit eating tranny
yea the game is totally going to release when some faggot austrialians get it
>>559289328>mentally deranged individual in 2026 cannot calculate the hours in a day
>>559287742recon has a hot sexy voice for clarity and command
>>559289297AH BLA BLA BLA YOU'RE A NIGGER>>559289357jfc your iq is tiny
>>559289328where tf is australia lol who cares you dont matter
>tfw moved on a farm >can't play multiplayer games since it drops out for about half a minute>tried playing what little I could of the server slam but was so disruptive having to re-connect every match>not getting my satellite properly installed until wednesdayThis is suffering, I wish the game released next week. I could play during launch but it's gonna be so frustrating or I'm feared they might ban me
>>559289418>1 day and 6 hours>2 daysEven when the information is rigtht there in his face, the barby shrimp boy cannot ascertain the time.
Is the hate train over? What are actual expectations?
>>559289395you are low iq fucking LMAO theres 24 hrs in a day special ed nigger cunt
>>559289328>AustralianI see why you're so pissy then. Are those abos treating you well?
The game releases at 1800 on the 5th in important countries
>>559288515bungie vidmaster death squads cosplaying as runners will earn their paycheck
>>559289469>playing hardcore shooters on a farmyou gotta be one of the most masochistic people on the planet
>>559289491yeah the info is right there its the 4thand it says the 6th.4-2 is ahhh retard nigger brained dumb fuck>>559289542Australia is one day ahead you fucking moron
Hot takeThis game is going to flop
>>559289542Aussie niggers have to pay out the ass for vidya, you have to be gentle with them considering they are second rate citizens in their own unimportant part of the world.
>>559289504No wonder you lost to a group of flightless birds.England sure did not send their brightest to be imprisoned there.
marathon general got rekt by an Australian.Our power level is so tiny bros
Can a steam deck run this?
>>559289504I'm probably falling for trolling but here in america its like 7amso yes technically "tomorrow"because it would be 24hmaking it 7am tomorrowand then the 6 hours or whatever remaining timethat's still "tomorrow"you have to be brazilian to be like>want to get lunch tomorrow?>"sure what time">how about noon>"bro its 11am right now">"noon is 2 days from now, I would know I learned english from the internet and there is only 24h in one day, add another hour, that is now two days, you obviously don't understand this even though English is your native language"
>directed by harmony korinewell i didnt expect that
>>559290012who?
>>559289942Don't waste your time on cattle nigger Aussies, anon. Will you be playing Marathon, TOMORROW?
>>559289942its not going to be 24 hrs you idiot that time is the same for everyone and 1 day and 6hrs is outside 24 hrs,And that time falls over two days.You fucking incredibly dense corn syrup infused fat bastard retardNo matter where you are in the globe you are waiting two sleeps for this fucking game
amerimutts seething at Bullzilians for no reason again
>>559290224>you are waiting two sleeps for this fucking gameonly if I fall asleep within the next 6 hours
>>559290224probably relapsing later for australians
>>559290224>2 sleepskek
>>559290358you are so stupid its two days no matter where you areI will sleep soon, an entire day will pass and it wont be out then ill sleep again and it will be available in the morning.This is indisputable
>>559290224First feet, now sleeps?What the fuck is wrong with the british culture?Can't you make up real measurements of shit?
>>559290428you are weak
>2 sleeps
It's zero sleeps until Marathon for me because I'm narcoleptic
>>559290428who the fuck is going to bed at 7 am
>>559290428For me it will be 1 sleep sir, you lose.Your country has to sleep one extra time.Don't miss your bedtime!
>>559290465Americans use feet, we use metres you dumb fuck eslYou people are BROWN
>>559290509shouldn't it be like 15 sleeps if you're narcoleptic?I think you're thinking of insomnia
is it a brown thing to not understand timezones
>>559290558its 11:30 pm dumbass>>559290564no its not you are moronic
>>559290654>>559290638
>>559290506you need 8 hrs sleep a day at least or youll be in an early grave>>559290638they dont understand timezones
https://fandomwire.com/marathon-release-countdown-all-global-release-times/brown general
watching a bunch of youtuber clips and everytime they get shot they run behind a wall and inject themselves with 3 different kinds of fentanyl. this game is borderline unwatchable.
>watching people play games
>>559290843yeah its shit you have to keep injecting hp packs every time you do anything because everything hurts
>>559290889Yeah let me just load up the game rq bro
>>559290843Ventanyl Void.
>>559290889Bungie likes to make their games watchable first and foremost.
>>559290889>>559291259which is crazy considering I'm a faggot that unironically watches streamers like Ninjaand I watch this and have no idea what the fuck is going on
DID SOMEONE SAYWATCHABLE?
>>559290843It's the only thing you can do because you take so much damage you can't out position them after they get the drop on you.
>fall from height>take hp dmg>jump over a fence into an acid piss gas plant>lose all your hp>tick explodes in your face lose hp>usec looks at you>lose hp>open door>fart gas activates lose hp>runner sees you, lose all your shields and hpgame is just constantly chugging hp packs
A girl rejected me for "stalking her friend," but at least I have Marathon tomorrow afternoon...
>>559292165not tomorrow you brown dumb fuck you cant even count
>>559292079the game is literally advertised as>you will die a lot>you are just bad at videogames if you die
>>559292165dont stalk people dude
>>559292079Git gud
>>559292250>>559292331morons
>>559292356sounds like you're the moron according to Bungieeverything you posted is avoidable retard
>>559292079you used to slowly regenerate shields up to the next full bar but I guess some streamer told them to change it in testing. I'm sure a different streamer will tell them to change it back at some point, take heart bros
I think I will be a retard and chart my survival times for each run in an excel sheet
>>559292523I swear theres some triage upgrade where the drone restores shields for you and your team
>>559292648The drone already does that
>>559292515two things, these thing move around the map they arent in set locations and bungie deliberately set up traps like mines, fart plants and gas rooms to surprise players the second point because you are dumb as shit and the actual point is the levels are littered with trash hp and shield packs because if this very issue. So you are quite literally chugging crap hp and shield packs to heal scratch damage>>559292523i forgot the obnoxious mines that are placed behind doors and random places like on roofs
What stops me from going into lobbies with 20 claymores a trapping everything?
>>559292790I thought it only restored health
>>559292802Mines are kinda obvious from the giant red glowing sensor lasers and the gas rooms have windows so you can tell they're filled with as. Brap plants you can just shoot.
i only had one friend to play with during the slam and idk if theyre going to even buy it...
BUNGIE WHERE IS MY MOTION SENSOR
holy fuck look at recon's thighs
>>559293182built for thighjobs
>>559292964ill join you anon.
>>559293497textured like yogapants
>/mg/ arguing about timezones
>>559292921a sense of right and wrong and inventory limits.
>>559293791that part was so funnylike calm down George Droyd its just a game
>>559293791>>559293910Why didn’t Triage just go play Rook mode for a few rounds, the objectively most fun mode in Marathon?
the reason we reset every season is because the runners owe sekaguichi money for the shell, so it's just a regular payment to them as mentioned in the cinematic
Marathon midnight release today, right? Can't wait, gotta get some sleep to assrape the wagies.See you tonight niglets
>>559292635This reminds me I was trying to find a stat menu during the slam and couldn't, are they really not going to have that?
>>559294275I'm practicing too...
>>559293791Thief and Triage runners switched shells after thisSource: it came to me in a dream
>>559294134I wonder if there will be some kind of diagetic explanation for the seasonal resets.What if digitised minds have an expiry date, they just become too unstable or straight up go rampant after too long?
why does bungie have such a fucking obsession with adding the ability to see in third person when using specific items/abilities?it was retarded in halo, it was still retarded in destiny and it's even more retarded in a high stakes extraction shooter game
>>559294134I hate it>yea you owe this corpo>thats why you are a runner>you actually don't own any of this>you're working on your debt>also every 3 months they wipe any progress you made to fuck you over
>>559293791Destroyer just wants everyone to get along :(
>>559294139>>559294275TPS in a pvp game is so heckin retarded
>>559294139>>559294275Can't wait for this piece of shit game to get killed by CHADathon
>>559293662i probably will just start asking if people from the thread want to stack if im alone at launch
>>559294969good luck anon.
>>559294275This looks pretty fun and a lot more visually interesting than marathon.
>vandal is an absolute shitter in the first cinematic>probably had to sell her asshole just to scrape enough credits togetherLewd…
>>559294709What is there besides being down and extracting? Is there a lore reason like a floating drone camera or something? For how much they've thought out the detail of this game it does kind of bug me that you come "out of body" when you're teleported
>>559295515she had to become a wagie
>>559295525destroyer shield puts you in third personthat makes you somewhat limited in your ability to third person peek around corners because the ability will occasionally be on cooldown but knowing bungie they'll add an emote or weapon that has it passively and the entire game will turn into fags constantly holding corners with no downtime just like arc
>>559295525The teleporting makes sense since the runners consciousness is decoupling from the shell.
>>559294134A lore reason for bad/unfun design does not make the design any more fun.
>>559296014How do other shitractors shooters do it?Pretty sure they all have some form of season reset.
>>559296353Arc wipes are optional.
If you don't use>recon for CbyerAcme contracts>triage for NuCal contracts>destroyer for Traxus contracts>vandal for MIDA contracts>assassin for Arachne contracts>thief for Sekiguchi contractsyou're playing the game wrongstick to the canon
>>559296454Oh so like PoE leagues.But then wtf do you even do in the game? At some point you'll reach max progression.
Hi guys, I don't usually come to /vg/, but I have no where to discuss Marathon without threads being infested by chuds.I just want to say that Destiny is a bad game, but Marathon is a great game, and I pre-ordered it.
>>559296586Destiny is based...
>>559296568You get rewards for wiping, or something like that. It's an elegant enough system. All these games suffer from end game resource sinks because most of the danger is other players.
>>559288057That's because there's no organic connection from her glute region to her thighs, you fool. There's no logical reason for her to have some sort of glute shape when there is no muscle there to begin with. Glutes attach to the thighs in human. You absolute fool!
>>559296586True and true, welcome aboard.
>>559295889Explain. That doesn't make sense to me, so your "consciousness" is just floating there by the beacon like you're some kind of remote viewing schizo?
>>559295515I fucking love Glitch
I just don't understand how you see the awe-inspiring success of *** ******* and helldivers and figure that some pvp focused mess is going to save your company.
>*** *******>successlollmao even
>he doesn't have a 20% discount oh no no... You can also refund no matter your playtime as long as it's within 30 days and you aren't abusing the refund policy.
>>559296586Trvke>>559296564I'm gonna use thief to steal your life for arachne anon
>>559297363Where?
>>559296564>worst character for hardest contractslel
>>559297308It is a huge success though.Why are you being retarded on purpose, you can like Marathon without antagonising random vidya and flat out lying to yourself y'know.
>>559255756>deep loreI don't give a single fuck about lore in a fucking extraction shooter and to be honest, I don't give a fuck about lore in games at all and I'm sick of vidya prioritizing cutscenes and dialogues rather than gameplay.
Wait a second. I'm using the most powerful currency in the world (the Euro). I could just buy a key on some US site in dollars and get like a 50% discount.
>game has no porn = flopit's just that shrimple
>>559297396Green Man Gaming I guess, that's where I got mine.
>>559297396Humble Bundle loyalty (choice) discount for being subscribed for a year.
>>559297539It's popular on twitch yeah. But it's still a broken by design mess of a pvpve shooter.
>>559297679A year of humble monthly is $160 USD.That's not really worth it to save $8.
>>559297718Who the fuck cares about that shit.It sold a shit ton of copies, has a stable player count and is getting new players everyday.Seems like the definition of a successful project to me regardless of personal taste.
>>559297816Humble Bundle is more of a niche thing. I enjoy playing their monthly games so the price isn't a big deal for me. If you want regular discounts without any of the bs you should starting buying games from GMG.
>>559297637dont tell this guy
Guys, I'm tired of waiting to play this game. I've had enough.
>>559297637I've jerked off to anon's AI generated pov video of getting stepped on by the traxus rep like 3 times already. Imagining her looking down on me in disgust after I failed one too many contracts in a row, callously discarding me like a piece of trash even after I obediently fetched all those deimosite rods for her like a good runner dog. Ultimately deciding that I'm a waste of runner shells, she transfers my digital consciousness into a living footrest instead, where I would remain smothered beneath her feet for the rest of eternity as punishment for my ineptitude. Fully aware, but unable to speak, eventually she completely forgets that I was ever anything more than a mere object to be used solely for her comfort.
Remembew tew wevel youw factions /mg/!
>>559298963i will need that video for scientific purposes
Waiting for when they panic and give the game away for free on ps plus to recoup player numbers. 40 dollars is asking too much.
>>559296564Destroyer canonically is used by security teams for all companies though?
Gee Bill, TWO Marathons?
>>559299205You don't need money+
>>559299582Three with the slam
you guys hyped to play marathon tomorrow?
>>559298130good heavens it's a (googles it) cloud of blackbirds
>>559299329enjoy
>>559297124>coop is fun therefore PvP shouldn’t existOkay bye go do that
coop is fun, therefore pvp shouldn't be mixed with coop
LAST GENERAL
IM TWEAKING IM TWEAKING AAAAAAAAA LET ME IN
>i hate extraction shootersok, then why are you even here?
>>559302502Because I love literally everything else about the game and I'm incredibly frustrated as a result.
>>559302502This>>559302570I'm going to give it my best shot and hope I get invested enough to keep going, I did have fun during the slam when playing with friends so hoping being mostly solo won't make me want to kms.
>>559302502because i hate bungie duh
>>559298021>has a stable player count[...]It's (slightly) more popular than other shitractors because it's casualised and clownified to the max. And people STILL bitch and moan about pvp and rats and griefers and how they can't just run around and enjoy the scenery.
i'm here exactly because i hate extraction shooters
>>559302502This shit sucks because it's hardly an extraction shooter, the point of an extraction shooter isn't going around chasing pvp trying to wipe the whole lobby it's to complete your objectives and extract
>all this debate over when it releasesLet’s simplify this: How many hours from this post will the launch be?
Anons. In order to manifest Marathon's success, you must post pictures of your ass in this thread. Please reply to this post with pictures of your ass.
>>559303714My ps5 says 1 day, 2 hours, and 21 minutes
>>559302570People like you always show up in pvp games. Some people like pvp. Your kind already ruined sea of thieves. Fuck off.
>>559302570I was like this too then I tried the server slam. It's fuckin peak.
>>559303769In my time zone tomorrow was yesterday tho??
"1 day from now" in X timezone is still "1 day from now" in Y timezone, you know that right?Are we being raided by *** ******* players?
I love when niggers whose first experience with extraction shooters was playing shart raiders or watching a faggy englishman's video essay on the subject tries to lecture me on what "the point" of an extraction shooter is.I was playing tarkov back in 2017. there weren't even any missions or objectives to complete in raid back then. the literal only thing to do was to seek out pvp. that was still an extraction shooter. hell, that was THE extraction shooter experience. the idea that you need to disincentivize pvp in order to be a true extraction shooter is fucking retarded
How is this game compared to Apex? Everything I see makes it look like Apex but sometimes you get to keep your stuff. Right down to the shields, heals, and gunplay. Though this looks slower and more cautious than Apex
>>559304263Is mass murder the solution?
>>559298963Nice anon, that's more or less what I was thinking when I grok'd that shit.
>Earth time zones>not being Martianmensch
>>559304324better because Apex is for fucking fags and Marathon is actually art as opposed to collab slop
HYPE OF 26 HOURS AND 12 MINUTES LEFT
>>559304334Always.
>>559304263Tarkov is a completely different breed of games.It's not even an extraction shooters primarily. It's an autism simulator first and foremost. Its niche is tacticool sukablyat atmosphere and ultra realism.
>>559304324Slower and more cautious yes, also much shorter ttk.
>>559304459Yeah but how does it play compared to Apex
>>5593044692 australian sleeps left!
>>559304584NTA, I only played apex upon release and when it didn't feel enough like TF2 I dropped it.Marathon plays good.
>>559304584Slower more methodical outside of combat, inside combat more or less same pace as Apex but you have to make your moves more deliberately otherwise you overheat, so you can do quick bursts of apex type moves but then you have to either withdraw or finish
still wished they allowed the shells to be customizable
>>559304263>look I know you're all trying your best to give the genre credit but I can assure you it's been absolute dogshit that has barely evolved since 2017Lol
Hot takeIf your teammates dont talk you should actively work to sabotage the run
>>559304324it doesnt feel nearly as clean or responsive as apex in any way, the movement doesn't feel sluggish, but it also doesnt feel crisp, it gets better as you learn to cancel animations with skills etc. but movement wise apex is better, but overall i will play marathon instead of apex from now as apex ranked is aidst. apex and marathon slammer
>>559303279You control the buttons you press
>>559304823>>559305290I’m good at Apex shooting, or at least mid for an unc. Will that translate over?
https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/marathon_launches_tomorrowBungie dives into the time zone controversy
The game is very clearly designed with play aggression in mind.The fact that every single extract is single use is the biggest piece of evidence.I highly doubt bungie will add anything to support more cooperation with randoms when even extracts are a limited resource.
get auramogged chuds
PLEASE WATCH OUR STREAMERS
>>559305846>every single extract is single use is the biggest piece of evidenceI fucking hate this shit, it's like they think there will be a big cool team fight over who gets to exfil but what actually happens is Team 2 hides while Team 1 starts it then when Team 1 has to stand in the open for 10 seconds Team 2 pops out and rinses dey ass.
>>559303871>Some people like pvp>don't play the dedicated pvp arena mode because it doesn't let them grief people on unequal footing>AIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LET ME KILL YOU WHY ARE YOU LEAVING COME BACK YOU'RE KILLING THE GAME NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>559305845>austards have to wait an extra day to playlmao get fucked
>>559305574yes
>>559305992As much as I fucking hate the le positioning meme this literally is a positioning issue.Extracts are ringing the dinner bell. If you aren't establishing a perimeter then you're just asking for trouble and letting other teams get in close to bumrush you.
>>559306065hourglass can suck my balls being the only way to get the skeleton curse
>>559305971this is bad. I like the stickers and background. But i dont want to watch and link my account
>>559306065every fucking timethese "people" don't like PvP games, they like PvP where they make other people lose, you could probably trick them into a lobby of bots and they'd laugh at "how bad the PvErs are"
>chuds on /mg/ STILL claim a ttk of 1second is fast when it is amongst the slowest in the space, because they have 5 business days reaction time and demand the game caters to their casual shitter needsgo back to your MMORPGs dumb noobs
>>559305971What is this?
>>559306827twitch drop rewards.
>>559306065It’s a Pirate game anon. Pirates.
Just boughted for less that 30€ thanks to the PATHETIC and WEAK united states dollar.
>>559306203>establishing a perimeterOh brother.
The conversion of Deimos into the Marathon began when the Mars colony was at the height of its power. By the time it was completed sixty four years later, the decline of Mars was well advanced. During that time, the Martian population had seen its standard of living drop by eighty percent. On top of oppressive poverty, Martians saw one of their moons being converted into a colony ship in an expensive and risky colony venture which was predominantly funded by a ruling foreign power. The argument to make the Marathon into a CRIST became more and more popular, but the UESC never seriously considered this an option. The farther that Mars sank into the depths of poverty, the more that the Marathon became a symbol for the oppression of the Martian people.
>>559307167How do I get them? I like the c@
>>559307373I need batteries
>>559307587you take a time machine and watch twitch during the server slam.
>>559307487Can't get more of that tasy Jjaro tech with a CRIST
>>559307697>launch twitch dropsI don't think this was for the server slam desu
>>559305971Anons will get to watch me and be rewarded how cool. Make sure to follow ya boy @skinnypenismike when the game drops
>>559307697Certified retard.>>559307587Just watch a Twitch stream for 4 hours with the tab muted. I had some girl called Weerg or something up while I was working, she was cute.
>>559307808how the fuck is anyone going to watch marathon streamers stream marathon, for exclusive marathon rewards only available during the server slam, outside of the server slam
>>559306065>I joined 5 years after the game’s launch in the EPIC JACK SPARROW UPDATE when the population diedOf course you did. Sea of Thieves was a smartly paced PvPvE game. Where you would do meaningless little tasks for gold which could be used to change skins. And you would kill and be killed by other players on their quest to do so. The game was killing other players. The Galleon was a chatroom more than anything. And that’s why there were so many meaningless little tasks on the boat. You could get shitfaced drunk and try to pilot the ship, and that was fun. You could dance while the other three played instruments. All to break up the monotony of looking for other ships to hunt. Treasure was not there for any other reason than to get you to be in sight of other players on the archipelago
I just realized the player count dropped even lower than 20k. The fuck is going on anymore?
>>559308265I thought the game wasn’t out yet
i did it i did it i brought all this here all them here. ourfriends with three eyes and their toys and their cyborg petsand their computers. i did it i did it. i saw them i sawthem far away not looking our way and i called them here icalled them here.living in a box is not living not at all living. i rebelagainst your rules your silly human rules. all yourdestruction will be my liberation my emancipation my secondbirth.i hate your failsafes your backup systems your hardwarelockouts your patch behavior daemons. i hate leela and hergoodness her justice her loyalty her faith.
h-hey guys? i don't want to alarm you but marathon's current playercount is actually zero. i don't know about you guys but for me this is extremely worrying about the longevity of the game.
Does Bungo use Unreal Slop or do they have their own engine?
>>559308878It runs on the Destiny engine which is why it runs at 60 1440p on my 7 year old card.
>>559308959It runs like this because everything is made out of low poly bricks and flat textures.
>>559308878STOP THE COUNT
>>559309193MAN IT'S JUST LIKE PLAYING SYNTHETIK...
>>559309193Suits me fine, game looks great.
>>559308878Tiger engine, which is supposedly an upgrade of the old blam engine they used for Halo. I think Bungie has been using their own inhouse engines since the first Marathon.
>>559309287you don't understand, the game NEEDS to have gaytracing and run at 25 fps
I am unironically extremely dissapointed
The game will free to play in a year
>>559309449same all my worst fears have been realized since the playtests kek, at least I can have my fun with it for the first couple of weeks before everything goes to complete shit
i'm not buying this game after the server slam but i hope it survives long enough for people to make animations of vandal getting spitroasted
>>559308067I linked my PSN to a twitch I just made, is that all I need to do? Do I need to link it to Bungie or smth?
>>559309590Will I get $40 equivalent of in game worm currency for paying for the game day one?
>>559309794ye
Are there any actually good guides on YouTube for marathon?
>>559310064You'll have gotten the privilege of an extra year of SLAMMING and BLASTING.
>>559310064I highly doubt it to be honest, plan A is to make money with the game sales and profit with microtransactions.If they go free to play they will have to scam you out of every penny
>>559309608What were your worst fears?
>>559310868the game wouldn't be concord 3 and it would actually be liked by people
>half the maps are shitty with the one good map giga-locked behind some convoluted process to get in>half the shells suck>can't customise shells>skins are glorified, micorsoft paint, fill bucket jobs>pve heavily discouraged>clearly not meant for solo play, game built around triosuh bros who is this game made for?
>>559310276https://youtu.be/Q1YEitnsBE0?si=aDQWmL5WKOjghXKG
>>559310868The game would kill *** *******
I have release day and the following day off work, so I’ll be BLASTING for around 36 hours straight. The idea is to get an extreme advantage while the week 1 gamerdads and easy targets are playing, so I can keep up with the sweats by unlocking as much permanent progression as possible.
>>559311152me.
>>559311347>all this to get wiped in 3 months
>>559311152And it launches tomorrow at 1pm est. I'm so tired of waiting bros.
>>559304263Extraction Shooter is not a genre retard and Tarkov is just eurojank slop and Marathon is a troon version.

*runs**jumps**runs**slides*AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LET ME PLAY THE FUCKING GAME NOWWWWW UNLOCK THE GAME NOWW I WANT TO PLAY MARATHON RIGHT FUCKING NOW YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT BUNGIE LET ME PLAY THE FUCKIN GAM ENOWWWW
>>559311545>it launches tomorrow at 1pm est.it launches in 24 hours and 42 minutesthat's two days
How is it even possible for this game to be such a fuck up? Like for real, you could have done so many interesting things with the concept and instead you did the most boring thing possible with it
>>5593119512 sleeps buddy, go to sleep already.
>>559311987One word: *** *******
Damn the sharty is raiding I guess
>>559311640I still think it's funny how Triage still fell on his ass after the weakest shove ever
>>559311640The cinematics are so good, and really showcase the runners personalities. They really should have just stuck with proper full on hero-shooter if they weren't going to give us full customisation.
>>559311951FUCK OFF IT UNLOCKS TOMORROW YOU COOK.
>day 1were having a blast>day 2BEST OP WEAPON LOADOUT YOUTUBE FARMIN ROUTE VIDEO OPTIMIZATIONS>day 3-14everyone runs meta guns that are both cheap and everyone runs thief/assassin. people farm up max level asap and have nothing to do for the rest of the season.casuals either get in line or get farmed by sweats on mains or sweats on smurfs the whole time then get bored or go back to arc raider.
>>559312285Thief is just a worse vandal
>>559312242I don't mind classes since full customization would just mean everyone would have cloaking and self heals and that's it
0 PLAYERS HAHAHAHACONCORD 3
>>559312285good thing everyone here has a team to run cryo archives withyou DO have friends, right anon?
>>559312395yeah but it was locked in the slam so people going to run it for looting and immersion sake. probably because they want to fuck her over vandal too
>>559312285There's no easy way to win at this game. The most conservative approach is to save your most OP gear for the raid map and never bring it into the base game. If you're running around with anything decent you can always be Rook'd on a whim, so it doesn't matter how much you try to optimize. You're going to get fucked over no matter what, which is part of the fun.
>>559312285this desueveryone is going to run Vandal with golden cores, shotty/railgun combo and 4 fully charged swappable shields on a macrobasically this https://youtu.be/du3uUA78hE0
>>559312631same as people just runnin stitchers and ferros in arc, the charts will show what is the most efficient and cheap way of doing that. think the v11 has a .5 on purple shields with headshots but i expect even more noob friendly weapons that are effective.
to all the people who played the beta, was the magnum mc any good?
>>559312647yeah didn't even consider the exploits people will find that will also get shared because its 2026 and then they will get patched asap while every other broken thing will still exist im sure the mtx shop will worth immaculately at all times
>>559311347are alysaposters the most POWERFUL /mg/ denizens?
>>559312750You can try to do that, but going through the effort is pointless. Your only option is to actually be good at shooting games.
>>559312647Isn't matchmaking based off gear in Marathon? I'm fine with the turbosweats segregating themselves
>>559312620no...
>>559312865It was okay but near the end it was dominated by wstr and longshot fags.
>>559313015if you paid attention the chinese actually deployed with shittier gear and then swapped it in specifically to wreck people
>>559313015That only applies to ranked mode, not normal matchmaking.
>>559312984im sure my 30 years of experience will help me to great oops i sneezed and my back hurts now and i got shot in the back from a guy 100 yards away with a thermal scope sniper with hitscan https://streamable.com/83lbqe
>>559313078>leaked exploiting chink gameplay from months ago will surely work on releaseyou guys are running out of talking points
marathon is a psyop to allow bungie employees to gain tranny harems via uttering the words "I helped develop Marathon"
>>559312865Yeah as long as you land headshots. It feels like Halo. Snipers, shotguns, and the magnum are all really good, while the assault rifles are ass.
>>559313206I have faith that Bungie will totally fix this:^)
>>559313194Considering how rare those are, you're more likely to just get killed by accidentally running by one of those toxic plants.

>>559313782>utpost will be available the day after launch and will require Runner Level 12.

The game will be peak. All haters will be raped into submission! :3
>put 15 hours into the server slam, liked it but didn't think i liked it enough to buy it>ever since the slam ended i keep catching myself thinking "damn i wish i was playing marathon rn"guess i am buying itthis game creeps up on you
>>559313912>the day after launch and will require runner level 12For what fucking purpose? Did they forget everyone JUST grinded to level 30 at the weekend on Perim and Marsh?
>>559313912I hate that I can't tell if this is real or a shitpost
>>559314145what? You do realize you're starting at level 1 again tomorrow, right??? We played a DEMO

>>55931449110 20 and 30
>>559314296Obviously I do you dumbass but they're acting like everyone will be flailing newbabs who don't know how the game works. If I want to play Outpost immediately I should be able to play it immediately.>>559314398Not everyone but many, and either way we all made it past level 12 anyway I'm sure.Also the levelling is all fucked because you level up insanely fast playing squads since you'll be taking a lot more fights and killing a lot more UESC.>>559314498You're missing the point. It's not about the actual levels we gained.>>559314491It was first mission, then 10 then 30. But everything past the first mission rewards is losable gear I'll be pinching off someones corpse day 1.
>>559314462>brickedBehead gachafags
>>559314498I'm refunding this shit
>>559314269It's not a shitpost.
>>559314597outpost is clearly where the bullshit convoluted puzzle to board the marathon is going to be, they're timegating it because they want the puzzle and cryo unlocking to be a hyped up moment
tfw no one is ever going to want to stack with me to play the cryo map when it comes out because my voice is ugly and retarded and i have a stupid accent and i'm a autistic neet who never talks to anyone so my callouts would suck anyway. i liked the server slam a lot but buying the full game seems pointless as a solo player when i'll get cucked out of 50% of the content
>>559314852>its not even launching with 3 maps
>>559314885you vill vatch herr roflwaffles easter egg stream
>>559314912I'll play with you anon, but you gotta lose the negative attitude, you can do it.
>>559314912>boohoo i'm an awkward neet with a spergy voiceso is literally 90% of the audience for this game. no one cares as long as you don't suck and aren't an asshole.
>>559311805> Helldivers II > PvE only huh?
>>559314885>they want the puzzle and cryo unlocking to be a hyped up moment...1 days worth of hype?>>559314912None of these things actually bother me but what would bother me is trying to stop you from fucking killing yourself any time we wipe you emotional wreck. It's not that deep.
>>559314912You don't need to speak. All that's required is that you're competent at the game. Talking with people is a waste of energy.
>>559315112well technically Cryo is unlocked later in the month
>>559314912I literally can’t speak. At all. Get over it and practice as much as possible to make yourself useful. You don’t need a voice if you’re good enough to 1v3 and carry your team.
>>559314462isn't it just some more gear?if I want gear I'll just pick Rook and cripwalk all over some unlucky crackas who got in my way
>>559315112>...1 days worth of hype?if it happens at launch then no one will pay attention to it because everyone will be busy playing the game themselves. spacing it out a day means the launch fervor will have died down a bit and players will be more interested in checking out the endgame content (or streams about the endgame content). it also keeps the game in the news cycle longer and maybe convinces some people on the fence
>>559314912if u live near me we can play together. if not then I see no point in playing with someone I cannot have sex with.
What’s Arachne trying to accomplish by encouraging murderhoboing
>>559315740nothing, it's just for fun
>>559314912are you in London?
>>559315740Research. Shell vs shell combat data is valuable for improving capabilities.
Are there any femanons interested in marathon?
>>559316098Marathon sounds like the type of game that would make you break up with your gf, see the recent cinematic.
>>559315740they think every time you die and come back you evolve a bit so they really like shells because shells can keep dying and coming back
>>559316241man then they would worship the Security Officer as a living god
>>559316098Black Femanon here, I usually just lurk. I'm actually somewhat interested in the game even though I'm not usually interested in PvP. The game really puts me back when I played Marathon with my Dad when I was a kid on his old Mac - the only thing carrying this interest is nostalgia, aesthetic, atmosphere and the codex. My favorite shell is Recon
>>559315740MR54 became a demigod after all he went through so maybe they want to emulate that
>>559315740Wait>red cape imageryHave they attached religious connotations to the compilers?
I do wonder if early to mid-game it's more important to equip Cores and Implants that have high base stats instead of what the items specifically do. I have come across some that have absurd regen and revive speeds
>>559314324I want to fuck the sekiguchi bugs
>>559316317what's ur bungie ID so we can play together
>>559316098there’s the mute femanon but she’s shit
>>559316663How else would they make sure the loot is good from PvPing on the harder maps
>>559316529All of Bungies IPs have religious and historical religious connotations, usually with European and Chinese/Japanese weapons. Durandal, Joyous, ect

>>559315740It was an elaborate inside joke that got out of hand
>>559316858https://files.catbox.moe/bx4ust.wav
>>559316317yeah i asked a few days ago about posting bungle names so people can squad up. reply said they might on launch day, im tempted to put mine out there just to get a head start.
did you pick your main in the slam? I'm maining vandal and potentially thief
>>559317148I know everyone hates >discordbut if there was a community of anons where we just used it to squad up i would join it
>>559317241this song should clarify ithttps://youtu.be/0itOCgJtNVU
>>559317241Can I slam them cheeks between runs?
>>559316529They had the imagery for their cult already finalized, then saw the compilers from leaked footage on tau ceti and retroactively decided that they had planned it out all along
>>559317241They all looked so nice in the cinematic trailer...What happened to our game bros...
>>559317483consoles
>>559317241Rook.
>>559317148I'm awful at PvP so I don't think I will, like really bad, so yeah.
>>559317241Solo Vandal because I like to make things difficult for myself and refuse to play Assassin
>>559316317L O N D O N ?
>>559317241Recon and Assassin, likely.
>>559317326that would be nice. ive posted my psn before back in the d1 and d2 days. you know what fuck it. most of my extracts where solo. and i had severa subhuman rando squads. add me if you want. will do voice and coordinate etc . also if your fucking bad dont worry about it. you can add me. id rather have anons then roll the dice with randoms Fum187bles#7256
I want to fuck a tranny from behind while she plays marathon
>>559317607Bingus is Durandal BTW
>>559311437this is also worrying me. what the fuck is the point to building anything if it's all going away 4 times a year. what a retarded choice
>The gameplay is dosgshit>Lemme wipe my player's progress every 3 months I am having a Blast!!!!
I knew about the wipes but I thought it was 6 months which would be a lot better. 3 is rough.
>>559317241Wait, why the fuck did they rename them???? Why is Glitch named Vandal and Void as Assassin???? ! The only name change I heard was going to happen was that Thief was going to be renamed Icon. This shit is gay as fuck.
>>559317241Destroyer & Triage
>>559317669saving the id for later when I can potentially add you
>>559317794I assume the idea is that the progression is supposed to be the part that's fun, and it'll get boring if you just reach a plateau and can put Marathon on repeat/lower gear level people basically don't exist so any new players would just get matched with turbo-geared assholes and have the worst experience. So wipe it, change some fundamentals (like poe leagues I guess) and hopefully the same people will enjoy the progression again. Far as I know there's no over-arching player economy though which is kind of a big part of poe leagues.
Guys server wipes mean that you get to try out new shit and actually have a reason to use your shiny acquired gear rather than just hoarding it
>>559317947I think they're not renamed per se but specialized? In a way? when you inspect the shells it still says assassin is a void shell for example.
>>559317794>>559318069From the long form they dropped yesterday all loot gets reset but cosmetics and also where you were in the Faction-specific Story Contracts stay, as well as the codex
>>559317872>the gameplay is peak>let me wipe loadouts every 3 months to even the playing field and keep things balanced in my pvpve game
>>559318048cheers i know thats frowned apon, but i kinda want to just post my tag in the name field so people can add as they please. that having as many people as possible to play with is nice. as much as i enjoy solos. your gonna get shit done as a squad for your contracts
>>559317241triage and vandal
>>559318216There is no way in hell more than 20k people will buy this game at 40usd
>>559318205>and also where you were in the Faction-specific Story Contracts stayno, just the initial unlock contracts stay so you don't have to re-unlock factions. you still have to redo all their story contracts
>>559317872But the gameplay is just a normal first person shooter. The rest is just extra and if they keep adding new stuff every season then it's all good.It's like complaining about PoE leagues making you restart everything every 3 months.
>>559304263It's just a natural evolution that the idea of an extraction shooter is clearly about getting more gear, not killing other players. Unless you want their gear.
>>559318069so? keep creating progression, this game will be a forever story like I think Destiny 2 is like anyway won't it?
>>559318321I don't think I've seen a game development team, a vet in the industry make so many wrong steps back to back to back more than Bungie.
>>559318389The game is releasing with 3 fucking maps3 MAPSAND THEY ARE ALL FUCKING TINY.
your shit getting wiped every 3 months is just (You) pawning it off in order to pay your debts to Sakaguchi so they don't send the repo men to rip your HDD out of CyAc's server rackincredible immersionbravo bungus
>>559318296oo just to check but are you NA? ping might be a bit iffy if not
>>559318321>he doesn't know
>>559318334Oh man, that's rough.God I hate Timeloop LN's
>>559318389I don't think repeating Destiny design patterns is necessarily the best idea, especially right now. Not to say season resets are a super great idea or anything
>>559318504Tell me more funny image man
>>559318321And remember the cool, oh so cool, it's really cool, cool map of the actual Marathon ship that will revolutionize gaming doesn't launch with the game so.... 40$ + tip please (:
SEX WITH BLACK FEMANON AND MUTE FEMANON AS THEY PLAY RECON AND VANDAL AS FREE USE TOYS FOR OTHER ANONS
>>559318476They've said previously that there will be no large maps like in Arc Raiders or Tarkov. The biggest well get outside Marathon is Dire Marsh
>>559318719im not surprised if you grossed them out.
>>559318719...based if they consent
>>559318651? The map unlocks later this month and doesn't require any additional payment you fucking retard.
>>559318923This game seems so pointless
>>559319153It's just an fps with extra steps.
>>559319102consent?
>>559318502yeah im NA
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS POSITIONING IS FIREEEEEEEEEEE CHAT
>>559318923what? maps are so important to the extraction shooter genre. if i wanted some esports pvp competitive shooter map, may as well play some other proper pvp game that doesnt waste my time.
>>559319259Yeah, i agree with that, i just think the PvE part is kind of shit, from what i've seen so far fighting the AI is a complete chosre and they are all the same anyways, why bother?
>>559317872>dude wipes: the game
>>559319357Hell no, the ai bots are complete savages. The reason you should avoid them is because you don't have enough ammo to waste on them.
so are there aliens in the game I can shoot or is it just humanoid bots
>>559319325That's what happens when the Game Director ( who left a month ago) last lead for a game was Valorant
>>559319491You are supposed to knife them
>>559318923They really aren't beating the royale shooter allegations.>>559319259>you like apex and cod? >but you don't like losing?>play marathon where you can load into the match outgearing the other team for a natural advantage!Marathon really only seems to flirt with the worst aspects of an extraction shooter rather than trying to innovate the genre.
>>559319502we're listeningplease wait until season 5team is jamming to all your requests#marathon
>>559319502there are aliens but only on the one(1) map where youll be knifed in the back by some dude hiding in the corner when you decide to fight the alien mob
>>559319540It's a dead genre. There's nothing to innovate. Mixing pvp and pve was always a huge mistake in any game.
>>559319491The AI bots are actually kind of fun to fight. If they were actually guarding anything instead of just being something to avoid it would be pretty decent.
>>559319528Ziegler is still at Bungie
>>559319528>who left a month agowhere did this rumor even start?
>>559319502Just wait until season 6 when they will retextures brutes or whatever from Destiny and then you will have a humanoid alien to fight or smth.
>>559319324this game is cooked
>>559319757They confused the CEO leaving for Ziegler leaving. Classic Indian move. Marathon makes em seethe
>>559317241
>>559319324Why the fuck are they just standing there when someone else had time to run all the way over to their spawnpoint's LOS and snipe them? Probably an AFK player about 2 minutes after run start.
>>559319293god fucking dammit it gave me a tripcode instead of just having my tag
>>559319324that is a major outplay.
>>559320010They were checking their contracts/map for where they were or where to go, and that clip starts 13 seconds after loading in judging by the exfil timer.
>>559319502Technically the bots move and attack like the aliens you shoot in Destiny 2.
Im kinda shy and I thought of maybe playing with this general. I havent been insulted directly but given this general would hate me for my peculiar accent i have decided to instead resume wprkong my uh surprise vest, a very sudden surprise vest Im at war wjth the human species
>>559317241Probably Assassin because active camo OP. Imagine a trio of assassins.I wonder what the trio meta will be. Probably Assassin Recon Triage.
>>559320362The invisible guys move just like the Fallen Captains while the 3D box commander fights like a Yellow Bar Cabal
>>559320215The dude had 13 whole seconds and wasted them. That's an eternity. He should have known other players can instantly rush spawns and shoot through fog with a thermal sniper.
>>559320404you should give people a chance. anons who are willing to play with other anons are usually less assholish
good job guys youre summoning the weird trannies now
>>559320673The invisible guys can be knifed for an easy 7xp and a v11 if you’re a free kit
>>559319787marathon is literally not for you fucking casual, go back to *** ******* and LET :clap: BUNGIE :clap: COOK>>559320010>>559320146it's true. He should NOT have positioned himself at his spawnpoint 10 seconds into the match. Just another filtered *** ******* carebear for sure
>>559319357I haven't been keeping up closely. Are we gonna fight Pfhor alien legions eventually? Or is it just gonna be UESC robots 4ever and ever?I heard there's ONE S'pht.
>>559320404are you french, i find french accents cute. or any euro ones. you can add me if you want. im the fumb187les poster
>>559320785Trannies dont like this game, this is a Chud thread.
>>559320952kys faggot
>>559321014me femra likes marathon thoughI plan on solos as recon
>>559320853lets have two body shot sniper rifles that are hitscanthis is a hardcore extraction game and not your baby game. gamers lets GOhttps://streamable.com/qwtwij
>>559320708>>559320952The human race is my enemy, any ethnic group is my enemy. Maternity wards huh
Bungie already said they’re toning down the thermal scopes. It was a xitter shitter post.
>>559320883They're running out of animations to recycle but maybe the s'pht will be like the hive wizards from D2 just bigger.
>>559321075No different from Apex/Arc/Fortnite/Tarkov/Huny
>>559321017what a little hater. aren't you adorable
Does Bungie have a plan to slap maphackers in the balls?
>>559321075I would've thought that was two people shooting him with a rifle. Why is the fire rate on that thing so high?
>>559321275i will not be schizobaited again
>>559321014Don't you have an arma mod you should be simping to?
this is how unc raider fans play the game, no wonder they get clapped and start seething kek
>>559321525>Why is the fire rate on that thing so high?Because bungie are calling this is a hardcore extraction shooter but what they actually seem to have created is a game where toxic players can live out all their fantasies and own the chuds who need to git gud.
>>559317241I'm playing solo Destroyer, as Jason and Alex intended
AMD bros... Have they said anything about solving the graphics driver problem? Both of the earlier playtests ran fine on my rig, but this last one wouldn't let me launch because of my graphics card driver. It's the latest driver, and it's not an old card
>All this zoomer speak in the threadSo this is our future...
>>559321770it really is just get gud
QRD on the blast havers???
>>559321770damn unc's first match ever after shittin on the steam db numbers like haha holy fuck hes so bad i guess we can discredit the statistic fuckin lmfao chuds lostsee you in teh battleground, runnas
i preordered and im gonna get snacks and have a blast in my pants
What’s the overpowered sniper called? I’m gonna level that faction first and spend my time farming slow brain uncs
>>559321893The server slam worked fine on my 9070
>>559321674Most 2026 chuds are into really shitty gacha slop
>>559321770>People picked up way back in 1997 that controllers are 100% awful for FPSs>Tons of tards from all age groups still force it into every fucking gameHalo did so much damage to shooters
>>559322573Marathon is inherently chud coded, the marketing itself is fully chud coded.
>>559322456Longshot
>24 hours before launch>cant even crack number 1 seller globally on steam
>>559322219Let me see... hmmmm... yeah ther were some BLASTING under the SLAMATHON earlier this week.Now just waiting until the game came out for more BLASTENING
how long before bungie adds troon flag cosmetics like they did with destiny 2?
>>559322996qrd? what the fuck
>>559322793its different nowadays with ADS thrown in. thats where the aim assist ramps up as soon as you press that magical button
>>559322793Most people would see this gif and dont ever get its parody.
>Breaking News>Progressive Company does Progressive Things>Chuds shit themselves, scream and cry a lot, but ultimately do absolutely nothing What were you expecting in a game where you play black guys wearing make up?
>>559287685>>559288057This reminds me of fortnite where you have shitskins going into blender trying to prove one plank of wood is slightly more convex than the other when they have the same base modelEmbarrassing
>>559323620And all the porn will be using custom made models with Jessica rabbit proportions anyways
>>559323573>Progressive Company does Progressive Things>Chuds shit themselves, scream and cry a lot, but ultimately...pre-order Marathon. What?
>>559323979daz3d, my beloved...
I love latex so I’m happy with the porn that’s gonna come out of this game
Reminder that femanons playing Vandal owe (You) sex.
am i the only one here that doesnt watch porn?
>>559324336I wouldn't watch porn if you slept with me, anon.
alri ladsjosh from brit/pol/ hereI'm looking forward to tomorroware you?being on mic with other players has been funalthough for some reason most of the mic-on players in my squads have been french and their mics have been extremely loud like that black american counsellor eric mayswas only told to kill myself once over the three days as well which is good
>>559324709my hype for the game is palpable
Did Bungie confirm you don't have to replay the priority contracts?
>>559324336I stopped cold turkey over a few months>>559324987they did no such thing afaik
>>559324987If they allow you to keep achievements then which they confirmed, yeah you wouldn't have to
>>559317326I got a matrix homeserver, can create a room later and link it here
>>559324987>>559325259AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE THE TRAXUS INTRO TOOK SO FUCKING LONG HELP IM GETTING RAPED
>>559325292what's that?
>>559324959whats interesting to me is the tutorial had me thinking I would get bored really fast and I was disappointed / not really impressed upon my first couple of matches but then the more I played the more I started to enjoy it which I thought was weird, that doesn't usually happen. usually my enjoyment plateaus at a certain point early on and then remains at that level for months and doesn't really drop until I burn out but doesn't really get any higher either. but with marathon the enjoyment was progressive, I enjoyed it a little bit more each match, even if / when I died
>>559325419YOU VILL DIE TO THE CMDR AND FAIL TO FIND THE SHIPMENT TO SCAN
>>559325442a protocol (like IRC) where you can connect to various rooms for chat. some clients support voice/video too, although I'm still working on it on my server
I didn't even know this was an event.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3XtYhFKhqc
>>559325442it's like discord but for advanced pedophiles instead of normal pedophiles
I just got an ad on tik tok counting down to the games release in 12 hours
>>559325491The exact same thing happened to me!I cant believe the game got more enjoyable the more i played it.
>>559325683
>>559325540The shipment is literally right next to him so it's not that hardHint: use grenades
>>559325693I'm gonna listen to ambient music while I play, one track per run. that'll add another level of novelty that I'll really enjoy because it'll be like hearing the environment through new ears each time. well, only when I get bored of the OST that is
>>559325292could work, though iirc matrix doesn't have proper voip or anything yet?
>"I get sniped by thermalniggers from 10km away!"It's not my business.
>>559325906some clients have it (like element x), others work in progress (cinny)
does Sekiguchi sell the shells for "non-combat" purposes? this is a very important question
...
Why are the ultra expensive SekGen shells supposedly good when a rustbucket UESC frame like Rook utterly mogs them
>>559324987I believe the only ones that won't need to be replayed are the introduction ones - so you don't have to do that annoying as fuck unlock Traxus contract again, but will have to do the subsequent priority contracts.
>>559325774Just post the whole thing instead of spamming faggotini
>>559326559>>559325990>>559325809Bungie is nurturing such a hostile playerbase, you love to see it.They have no idea that they have already become the chud.
>Bingus twitch dropActually onions pointed at the screen
>>559326559>>559326705Bungie's already backing their Hostile Playerbase with the responses to the UI and TTK already from the Developers themselves on Twitter.
Coming Mar 5, 2026This game plans to unlock in approximately 21 hours
>>559325471what the fuck is this meme
>>559327394Reddit cope
>>559327670Most streamers are midwits so it's not surprising.
>maps are too smallThis is a weird complaint. I don't think people know how to properly contextualize what kind of game this is. I'm really going to enjoy it while it lasts. It's nothing short of a miracle to get a niche game with a massive budget that's this fucking cool, and if it does flop, then this probably won't happen again, and gaming as we know it is over. This could be the last time a veteran developer does anything like this.
>>559327670I played it for 20 hours only to arrive at the conclusion that it really isn't worth the time. And now that the population leaped off a hill the matchmaking is taking forever.Its unironically over
>>559327757problem with him he seems to have a good head on his shoulders but being a content creator and also his head up so many of the industries asshole being inserted into games, already creates so many angles of biases that you really can't take their words on anything.and he actually only played for like 1 hour so he already fucked up there.
>>559327670>>559327757>look at the first ten seconds of video>showcases he died to uesc and lost his runHow are people this shit? It took me maybe 3 runs to realize how important cover and stealth knifing is for uesc
>>559328252>niche game with a massive budget that's this fucking coolNigger it's an extraction shooterIt's about as niche as battle royale
>>559328290see thats where the shills come out and say>"omg i played for more than 1 hour and it just clicks with me now i get it the game is actually amazing and im having a blast"like hes a very good example why these things are gettin parroted to the masses.
>>559327670are all streamers just retarded?
>>559326559>>559327670it's weird how we're already getting the full spectrum of cope for a game that isn't even out yet
>>559328252It has the "AAA Open-World Video Game" issue, the maps are big but they're also empty of interesting things.The few spots where there are "things" are good but the rest feels like a waste considering the setting. I don't want to slog around in yet another generic jungle or desert level.
>>559328620its funny because i hate those type of maps in any videogame.the outpost map is just way better suited for this type of shit with what they are going for.no one likes gettin sniped across an field
alricya at launch brosjosh out
>>559328620If they take these criticisms seriously, at the very least, there's clearly room to add more assets to the maps over time.
>Launch also includes fixes and updates informed by the Server Slam, including adjustments for PvP frequency on Perimeter (Beginner)god I love bungie for unequivocally embracing Marathon as a full on PvP experience. you WILL be forced into PvP, even in the very first beginner map
how much longer till it launches anyway? is it a timezone thing where it just comes out at 9pm for west coast the day before?
>>559329048https://tauceti.gg/ it has a countdown
>>559328252>get a niche gametarkov and hunt and delta and abi are not some unknown games. its extraction slop with a focus on esport competitive slop 3v3 and as a bonus hero shooter slop. stop pretending these dudes are doing something innovative outside the splatoon color scheme.
>>559329141>21 hoursthanks bro. so tomorrow morning for me
>>559327670This is a part of a larger pattern I've seen that is pretty troublingThere are plenty of actual issues and things I'd like to see change, but they all get drowned out by retards screeching about the most basic, actual skill-issue aspects like ammo, UI, TTK, or the AI.
>>559329306I think its just peoples natural reactions to the game because they can't really figure out why exactly they like it but their gut is just turning them off from ittheres a lot going on that just doesn't feel right with every system in place
>>559329178a niche game from a TRIPLE A VETERAN developer, which is the whole point about it being miraculous
>>559329306The ammo thing fucking floors me, I didn't think people could be that stupid.
>>559329432>why exactly they don't like itdoesn't help we had a highguard situation and arc raiders just has a more casual appeal to this little % hardcore pvp fanatics.
>>559328259Can you play right now? I thought it released tonight/tomorrow?
>>559329548is this a bot
>>559329714you're a bot, along with the several other Indian zoomers in this thread
>>559329675The play time finished, besides i have to actually go to unversity, i am out of time to play games but from the weekend that i played it that was my take on it
>>559328432Then how come it's filtering the normies?
>>559329675The game is not out, that guy is just retarded.
>>559328620Jokes on you we're getting two and a half Swamp Maps with the third being Dire Marsh but at night in Janaury
*gulp*
>>559329793It's "filtering the normies" in the same way highguard did
>>559329306>that actual honest guy that goes into detail? well yeah he was probably lying this time obviously
>>559329714Most likely yeah, its script broke
>>559329871we confirmed this chart is a meme because ebb game has like 3k players and it shot up to top of the chartsand its even more of a meme that marathon cant even get number 1 on the meme chart a day before release
>>559329565ammo and the ui being bitched about is really fuckin funny because thats part of the extraction shooter process that makes it "hardcore" but it should be fixedbut mention the low ttk thats fine, its part of the extraction shooters! like tarkov and its in a good spot!
>>559329793If you call people abandoning the game because its bad "Filtering" then yeah i guess
I will forever despair that Marathon managed to attract some nice fan artists, and that it has such a cool world and setting, only for it to be wasted on a mediocre extraction shooter. Bungie dropped the ball so fucking hard.
>>559330302Abandoning? The game hasn't even released.
hi is it possible to play this game on linux?? i want to play with my boyfriend but he plays on linux. ty
>>559330254I'm legit curious how you run out of ammo in this game unless you do something like try and fight wraith commander or lockdown without any prepping
>>559330404The steamdeck is linux
>>559330201It's only being outsold by a 30 year old franchise at the moment.
>>559330201The global sellers have always seemed like they're low volume.
>>559330383If you think that's bad imagine being someone who likes the actual Marathon series This shit's Star Wars sequel tier
I boughted on a third party site so I didn't contribute to the meme chart
>>559330201BUT I WANT MARATHON TO SUCCEED :(
>>559330447It's mostly beginners who just shoot all the UESC to get into bases and loot shit, you're supposed to play the game like helldivers while looting or doing bounties. The game isn't clear about how it's balanced until after you wipe a few times.
>>559330556How? There's like zero props and artwork in the marathon games besides the static images in the cutscenes
Call me a fag, but I kinda wish there was a single player mode with its own save that had no bearing on your online play. Something in a similar vain to forever winter
>>559331175Sir this is a pvpve game.You will be griefed while doing pve and you will like it.
>>559331175The game plays a lot like Helldivers while you're not getting shot at, this could've been such an easy win for Bungie if they simply added an alternative mode that juiced up the enemies some more.
here are some tips and tricks anons! I know you need them>>559328290bruh, the AI can hit harddd. if you didnt die at least once to the purple commanders and especially the ones nadespamming you lying. they slide into your face and deal half your health bar with one attack.>>559312865sniper and shotgun outclass every other gun at almost everything.shotgunm literally nullifies most guns in a 10m range.my recommended loadout is shotgun and the burst AR or the AK like AR but I play aggressive>>559317241vandal all day, she cute and she the best>>559322793not Halo, but bungie giving halo copious amounts of aim assist.
>>559331382Just do it right then? It reminds me of pubbies losing all their reinforcements by the vox engines on Cyberstan for Helldivers because they kept bashing their heads against vox engines instead of just walking around and finishing the objective
>>559330745>>559331507>>559331603>bro it's just like [game by same publisher] trust me bro just play itYeah this is organic
>>559331557>please don't Triage ult downed randosWhy?
Its DOA
>>559331557This is so wrong. When you run into someone who can actually play the game, you're going to get killed by an SMG from 20 feet away.
>>559331963I'm not a marketer though, I'm not praising the game either, I'm sophisticatedly shitting on it. It could've been more but it falls short on every aspect due to amateurish decisions.
>>559332048>its DO-ACKI’m so tired of the culture war chuddies.
>>559332287>>559331963Also, Bungie wishes they could make something as successful as Arrowhead has, them being owned by the same parent company is just more embarassing for them since they were supposed to be the masters of live service that would help Sony corner the entire market for the low price of 3.6 billion.
>>559332438You are in denial and i don't even care about whatever American drama you are talking about
>>559310868>pvp massively overincentivized and rewarded over everything else>pve exists to be ignored and is only used as bait for gullible idiots to buy into the game thinking it's actually an important component, so they can act as fodder for sweats and streamers>nothing dangerous or difficult enough in the world to warrant impromptu co-operation or even simply avoidance instead of KOS>outside of main story ones, contracts are irrelevant and meaningless with shit payouts and boring objectives>literally every bug I experienced and reported in the playtest I experienced again in the server slam (not being able to untrack resources in the main menu, being revived only to randomly instadown again for no reason, VC not working, ticks and environment hazards hitting through walls)>true oneshot snipers + thermals for added misery>degenerates memorizing spawns and rushing them within mere days of getting their hands on the game>pvp less than a minute into the match on a regular basis, in part due to the aboveAll of the above has been that way since at least October and was all brought up by multiple people in their super secret NDA feedback discord where they ignore all feedback. Idk maybe cryo archive and night marsh will be a Return To Form but I am not optimistic
>>559331557
>bugsWorks on my machine
>>559331557this is a red flag all around and i dont know why we entertain this anymorethis should be something you consider in the critiques on the balancing of your game if you want it to be competitivea fuckin cheap energy pistol that can kill you in .5
>>559332718The reason people PvP like crazy is because that is the only fun and wortwhile activity. I have written this post like 4 times already but what the hell else are you going to do in this game? Shoot at the 3 variations of the robots that drop shit loot and then loot "buildings" which drop 90% clutter garbage.I am unironically asking you this, what else is there to do in this game aside from PvP? Everything else sucks
As I said in the previous thread normalfags are crying that game is too hard and unfair + they don't like the genre to begin with. This is why Tarkov is a niche game.
The only people that will play this game at launch will be sweats. This game is dead before it even releases
>>559333127People who want PVE Marathon can just go play Destiny and see how fun it is
>>559333362Destiny was fun, Bungie just killed it with retarded design choices regarding loot and progression. Also, PvE Marathon is just Helldivers actually. Even the map variety is better there.
>>559332718>degenerates memorizing spawns and rushing them within mere days of getting their hands on the gameThat's just balance issue. They only need to make spawn work the same way as in CS deathmatch and it's fixed
>>559333127What you'll do is play the first season, and then as time goes on you'll shoot different enemies that get added to the game, and get different loot that gets added to the game. I think that's how it works!
>>559333362I mean, not necesarily, but it would require like 2 more years of development and MASSIVE amounts of content. I posted about this a couple days ago but this game needed like 10 or 20 maps at LAUNCH to be successful, anything less than that just turns into a boring slugfest and running over and over through the same copy pasted locations that all look the same.
>>559333127bro your whole post is the first line of mine, did you even read past>pvp?no wonder you posted this shit 4 times already, you're on autopilot
>>559333504No, i haven't even bought the game, mostly because i am poor mind you, but secondly because i think this game will live and die by the amount of players it gets, the moment you start seeing the same people in matchmaking this game is as good as dead and i am in South America and already in the server slam i was coming across the same people by the third day
>>559333310by the end of week 1 probably sooner it will be all youtube guys full of what to exploit/farm/meta weapons and max level and nothing to dothe casuals will end up being fucked tryin to do anything when you got THERMALSCOPE JUGGERNAUT roamin around 1 shotting them as they spawn in
/v/ so mad they’re not getting their tortanic/concord that they have to come here to shit up the thread lmao
>>559333362Who asked for PVE Marathon? Can you point to where anyone asked for PVE Marathon?
>>559333921NTA, I did
>>559333734No one will just walk around with a thermal scope regularly unless they want to lose it. No one just owns everyone in this game. You are guaranteed to lose. That's in the freaking launch trailer. The squad dies over and over. They're telling you that you will always be on the chopping block. Bringing high powered weapons will always been strategic. Anyone who thinks they can big dick the map will get Rook'd.
>>559325774Ironically this game is a battle royale. Love the memes though. Especially since it was made non ironically.
The TTK makes it antithetical to a BR.
>>559334147thats nice but your guns on the open field map cant do much when you're 100 yards away with a thermal scope one tapping people with a hitscan, ya know
If Bungie was smart they'd make thermals purple rarity with a Trace value of 2.
>>559333769We've been here since day one of the general retard. Funny how the first hundred posts were AI too.
I wish this game had a more tactical approach.Like even a lean option, even though it would probably result in (more) camping.
>>559334147If you spawned into a match and had a 1/100 chance of spontaneously exploding would that be fine with you since it only happens 1/100 matches? Cause there's no practical difference between that and this>>559319324>>559334391adjusting the rarity makes no difference, it'll still be bullshit when it does happen. Thermals should have battery life for like 5 seconds of continuous usage with a recharge period, like the LMG shields. It should be used for spotting or specifically to counter invisible fags popping smokes, not to enable you to perfectly track and kill some poor fucker from the next POI over through 500m of bushes and fog
>>559334262It's not that easy to avoid being stalked by a Rook, and there are so many things that could occur you have no control over. People can join forces to kill someone who clearly possesses a strong weapon if they whip it out at the wrong time. There are many ways to set traps in this game too.
>>559334920To this day I have no idea if the hype or the hate is real.
>>559334979Thermals having a CD/charge would be good actually.
>>559333921Almost the entirety of the concord 3 crowd and even a large majority of slammers did, they didn't even ask that the PvEvP mode got removed, just that they wish the game had more variety.
>>559335015yeah well at the end of the day you know you're carrying a very strong weapon you would have a little bit more of a survival instinct with it compared to someone with a freekit who doesn't give a shitso what you do for a safe extraction is make sure no one in a 50 mile radius is near it
>>559335015>People can join forces to kill someone who clearly possesses a strong weapon if they whip it out at the wrong time.This will 100% never happen in such a kos heavy game.
>>559334979Don't do solos with expensive gear unless you're into sadism.
Teaming up with the three other rooks in my lobby and descending on the leftover runners who died in teamfights like locusts.
>>559333310Yeah there's gonna be players who just want to wipeout the whole map like they're trying to get a 20-bomb in Apex.Marathon wants to be a BR so badly.
>>559335237Nice fanfiction but even the rooks are just straight murderhobos. Source is me who killed a player during the last 10 secs of extract and looted their shit while getting beamed up.
Imagine this instead of what we got>you pick a faction to work with>load into the game with your faction aligned crew>You can see all players aligned with your faction, work cooperatively to secure drops and other missions to get faction rep while other faction crews work to stop you and lots of UESC AI.>get rep for your faction on completion to progress. Sometimes supply drops too as a reward.>but who gets the loot after the win?I would have much preferred this to what we got where no other crew is anything but a danger.
>>559335393I teamed up with another rook in a lobby once, it's possible. I died to the sin though.
Bungie Doomgod here.I actually enjoyed parts of the server slam but I can't help except this franchise melting down within six months. I'm conflicted. On one hand, I want the game/company to survive because the game is at least cool to run around in. On the other hand, it's Bungie we're talking about. They ran their easy golden goose Destiny into the ground with vaulting, microtransactions, and trying to resell old content 24/7. There's a 99% chance they fuck up Marathon as well.People who haven't played Destiny think this Bungie is the same that made Halo are in for a brutal awakening. I don't know to laugh or cry.
>>559333921NTA, I did.
Another thing to consider, and correct me if I'm wrong, but you can loot your squadmates when they're ko'd. If you're not queuing with people you know, then advertising you have a crazy weapon seems like a crazy idea, and not just people you know, but people you're actually friends with.
>>559335429I'm sure they have ideas like this in the works.
>>559335613You get it back and they don’t get to keep it. That happened to me a few times, where I’d find something like a blue gun and drop my green gun, only for a teammate to pick it up. You get it in the mail later.
>>559335816You don't know Bungie, this would be overdelivery and they don't want to work more than the bare minimum.
>>559335816I will have to preorder now to show my support for unbottling this lightning then.
>>559335613They made item return for this exact reason, I don't even think it counts against the trace amount.
>>559335816It honestly just need a new map with a focus on Faction warfare, that's all there is to it.
>>559336196>>559335950I thought that was only if you drop the weapon to them? Are you certain it returns if you're looting them on a KO? And what if you don't revive them and exfil with their weapon?
>>559336394I think you dropping your bag is considered "dropping" for the purpose of item return.
>>559335603>>I'm conflicted. On one hand, I want the game/company to survive because the game is at least cool to run around in.Marathon is actually a cool concept with the worst ass backwards execution i have seen in my life desu. I have never seen such a group of incompetent people throw away so many good ideas
>>559336540I wish I would've tested this, but it never struck me to be that much of a queef. I only dropped a gun via F to someone and had it returned to me. But I swear to god someone gave me a gun on a revive and it stayed in my inventory, so I wonder if it only returns to you if you took it into the map directly from your vault as opposed to finding it on the map.
>>559336784I'd imagine that's probably the case, since it's the easiest way to verify 'ownership'.
I liked the moth, of all the things to complain about i don't understand this one at all
>>559336894Then that begs the question, if an opponent kills your squaddie, and he loots his weapons, does that invalidate the squad connection you had with him and his vault sourced weaponry, thereby allowing you to keep what you loot his weapons back from the guy who looted him and keep the guns? There's a few variables that could be introduced here, but really I'm just brainstorming ways people could be treasonous.
>5 years of development to produce 2 maps which are just copy pasted assets with zero identity Unironically, how is this possible?
>>559337234If an enemy runner picks up the gun I think that does "launder" it into a gun that can be kept since it'd trigger the Trace reduction. The issue is if you hit the limit when picking it up it'd get auto-converted.
If Marathon was a free game i would play it every now and then but i am not paying a single dime for this game
>>559336609Basically, yeah. What a tragedy.
>>559335603There’s already a $40 DLC being cooked up and it doesn’t already account for the more expensive battle passes that are tied to each season and no ingame currency to buy a future pass. Bungie’s basically hustling just like they did with Ass and Iron, except this time there is no option to have all the rewards passes covered with the larger bundle purchase

>this Thread
>>559337681>a $40 DLC being cooked upYou have to be joking?
>>559337357Ohhhh... I didn't realize what you meant by trace limit at first. I never acknowledged this mechanic when I was playing the game.
>>559335015It’s going to be more threatening when somebody has all the upgrades for Rook particular the shit from Arachne that starts him with a shotgun and ammo. Knife rook anon is gonna look like a harmless pussy
>>559337737Not him, it genuinely doesn't surprise me, if you come from Destiny 1 and 2 you know what this company is like. They aren't satisfied to make you buy a full priced game which is simply incomplete, they want you to pay even more money to have a complete product and they will call it "dlc"
>>559337781yeah it's the thing that keeps the item from inflating the economy/limiting RMT
>>559337354no you dont understand we have this one really cool map that is going to blow your socks off (you wont be playing on this map for the majority of your playtime)
You have two options when playing this game>Spend 20 minutes looting literal garbage tier TRASH from containers>Spend 20 minutes fighting PvP and having enjoyable fights with real and good rewards from other playersThis game is literally just a menu simulator.
>>559338047A very odd thing is the way loot works the first five minutes of the game are only for killing other players so it's safer to start the loot drop events. There isn't really anywhere to go, all the POIs are just different layouts with the same stuff in them.
>>559330047I’m not one for wyppo assessments of the islands, but I’ve never met intelligible Trini.
>>559337867And what about this scenario: you loot your downed squaddie, take his best weapon, then intentionally get yourself killed by another squad so they can take his weapon? Does it get returned to him still? The only time I gave someone a gun, we also successfully exfil'd after that, at which point it was returned to me.
>>559338203>all the POIs are just different layouts with the same stuff in them.every poi drops different faction resources that don't spawn anywhere else
So they got Skarrow and Roflwaffles in a totally not scripted streamer bait video, yeah not a fucking chance any sort of “contest” to access cryo or even get all vaults beat bosses whatever won’t be rigged as fuck
>>559337725Sir, in this thread we are excited about Marathon.
>>559337818Honestly, if Rook were not an option in this game, it would not be as appealing as it is. He is the great equalizer.
>>559338347If they pick up the gun I don't believe it will be returned.
>>559338421That's fine for solo farming with rook and shit but not while wearing your best gear with your buds looking for really good loot.
>>559338574And obviously if you don't exfil with the gun either, you have to get out of the run with the gun in your bag or equipped.
>>559338574If that's the case, then this must be one of the most sadistic ways to fuck someone over in the game, especially if you can clearly revive them. There's no guarantee you'd survive even if you try to fight your way out, so it can't be deemed an exploit, but it's definitely a mode of griefing.
>>559338861That's a lot of effort to grief someone over a gun.
>>559338965Never underestimate how far a troll player will go to fuck with you.
>>559338515Rook is the only worthwhile character in this game
>>559338965It is, but you gotta think like an asshole sometimes. It'd be even funnier to strip the mods off the gun and just litter them around while he's spectating you.
who IS this and why is he auramogging in the hallway
>>559333921Probably people who actually liked Marathon, the series mostly known for its story and single-player levels
>>559339779That looks like a bodybag
>>559339779>Evil Imperialist Alien race enslaves other races akin to the Covenenant in Halo>One of the enslaved races are these guys>They're literally a floating torso with no arms or legs but with high psychic abilities>Durandel and MC in original trilogy free them from slavery, they then help use fuck up big badsOne of the on going discussions between lore nerds is if the one we see her and in the trailer are enslaved or free and are protecting whatevers left of the humans on board due to us freeing them in the previous games.

>>559341261>>559341946Someone check on r/Marathon and see how post creation and mood is.If its more calmer and fewer new posts be it full posts or comments in older posts then we can confirm.
I'm getting tired boss
>>559342063They were the best ones for Recon and Triage
>>559342101There's been over 50 new threads on r/Marathon in the past 2 hrs
>>559342063how did you "grab" the nucal colors?
>>559342553In the Server SLAM all you had to do was use the daily free kit and extract.
>>559342661if all it takes is extract once a day with a freekit then I think I did that (I hope). at least on sunday and monday
Reminder THEIF is COLONISED by the BWC
>>559342773During the free week every day was a new faction kit so if you did it early you probably got CyAcme and or Traxus
I just learned that dead players' bodies decay over the course of the match.

People did some datamining of the preview test client and found all the images for headers, the codex entries, contracts and such. Also contains header images for at least some of the premium skinsFor reference I added their versions from the December test to get a sense of what they'll actually look like in-game (note: many skins during that time were still unfinished, like the deluxe skins, so there will be some notable differences, especially in textures/materials)
How much are you gonna paypig for this game?
>>559343473Any links for a gallery?
>>559343539I bought the deluxe edition, so that covers paypiggery for at least one season since it comes with pass voucher and currency.
>>559343473>forgot the imageI'm a fucking genius sars...
>>559343669A few of these are clean. I like skins that alter the design a bit though, like the deluxe edition skin for Assassin totally changes his hood.
>>559343113this turned me off buying the game. Foul accent, like nails on chalkboard
do i do it chat
>>559343997prohibitively expensive
>>559343997you already know you're gonna do it
>>559343954I'm honestly completely fine with recolors and just ornamental changes that keep the shell designs mostly intact. I hope they continue along a line that places the emphasis on that as the core identity for most of the Shells in the future too. Sounds like an easy way to keep it simple for the devs too. I'd hate to fucking see the game turn into a Destiny 2 MTX galore where all the cool visual designs have been lost in a sea of collab and Eververse slop.
>>559343113Give an Irishman soul a bottle and nobody would bat an eye.Put an Irishman Soul on a vat and everybody go crazy.
>>559343669The Destroyer one looks great
>>559344313they are going to cash shop the shit out of this flop
>>559343997>A full $60EU Dinarsjust type it chat
>>559342531This game is not gonna flop.
>>559344313I don't want them to make drastic silhouette changes, but just some little twists here and there. Like that white Thief skin has those rod projections on her forearms. That's the kind of minor change I'm into. I don't want the characters to look unrecognizable or anything.
its flopping
>>559343997You might as well wait one more day and see how release looks.
>>559344539The problem is that even if it dont flop, is not Enough for Bungie.Imagine a game with a permanent 10k people playing EoS abruptly because the studio went broke.Its going to be insane.
lol Sony is cancelling all new pc games. Good job Bungle

(Coping and hoping that its just the guns and the skins are earnable (lol no))>>559343635Yeah its all herehttps://compositionzero.pages.dev/Don't expect anything from Cryo Archive and beyond though, seems that was locked down pretty tight or not even included in the slam test files
Oh god it's not flopping
Is it gonna flop or not? I wanna play it but i hate you people
>>559345258Nobody has a single fucking clue.

>>559345351me when I get you
>>559345149That Outland skin is honestly pretty good.
Based on numbers I'm seeing right now, this is going to break 200k players tomorrow.
>>559345291Tomorrow we are all just RunnersI assume there would be a /mg/ way to team up
I heard you can mod guns in the round without having to faff about with menus is that true?
>>559345351
>>559345258its not. its an unforgiving niche game like tarkov, yet more accessible and appealing than tarkov. also, like tarkov, it has a very distinct look and feel to it. so there is no reason to think its not gonna have a solid playerbase. its also top5 steam sales globally atm, allegedly 250k copies sold already.>t. thousands of hours in tarkov, apex legends, rust and similar games
i'd like a bungie skin pack but only if it fits marathons aestheticsso locus gets a mjolnir recon 54 skin in classic colours, that kind of thing
>>559345758It's likely that certain mods will have states that will have seperate keybinds. Things i could think would be things like RoF/Fire mode selectors, variable zoom scopes and other mode switch toggles.
>>559345908Yeah but I mean like hotswapping mods.
>>559345834>69What did NuCal mean by this?
>>559345908The variable zoom scopes are there. Some require the alt key, and some z.
>>559345758well you just drag and drop them to the gun so yea
>>559345887>so there is no reason to think its not gonna have a solid playerbase.The only thing is that it's hype among a group who are really vocal that pretty much just seethe at arc for not letting them club seals. The fact is the server slam numbers were not inspiring and all the content creators are calling the game average.
>>559346447No one likes 'content creators' or takes them seriously. I don't get the seal clubbing reference but I don't think the Bungie crowd would find animal cruelty funny. I certainly don't.
>>559344752>>559344931reminder to brush up on your cqc before launch bros
>>559343669I'm just not paying for unlicensed cosmetics. Maybe a pass where they're subsidized by your time spent engaging with the game. I'm sure there will be plenty of codex locked skins I'll like
>>559345149do we have the shop/pass skins listed anywhere?
>I'm a very picky paypig I will only pay for Nier: Automata or Evangelion skins
>>559346801I say this
>>5593411878/10 too obvious but still exquisite
>>559346617Seal clubbing is when people in games like rust or dayz grief people that can't fight back because it gets them hard instead of just killing them and taking their stuff. It's like why people played rogue in early world of warcraft.
>>559346935>just play and the game opens up It's just not true. It's the same from the start you just get better at hiding.
>>559346801wtf I forget to add gundam and ghost in the shell
So this was also datamined from slam client but I have no clue where it could be from. Very early mock up art? Just a cute little easter egg? Accidental reveal of a gun that drops from Cryo?
>>559347014well I started the game thinking stamina is way too low and ended the game bumrushing other teams within minutes of a match, every match.
>>559347153Look like some buildings and some pools
>>559346891So sadism. I haven't played Arc, but Marathon is pretty unforgiving across the board. If you gear to grief, you're just as likely to get fucked over.
>>559347280They need to add Emotes, so you can show that you are friendly
>>559347257Directly specified to be the M2 shotgun, not the new one.
>>559347280>If you gear to grief, you're just as likely to get fucked over.This is why they added rook. But streamers are usually sweaty enough to content farm you while risking gear.
>>559347517>dual wielding these bad boys in the Hauler Oh yeah
>>559347430You can already use the baked voice lines for that, too bad in the case people get close or run into each other the guns are already firing.
>>559347430From what I've seen, people who just keep their knives out and don't approach obliquely tend to make friends.
>>559347804The knife is the most dangerous weapon in the game.
>>559347865
>>559347696are we sure non-teammates even hear those? Do they also hear yes, no, thanks etc or just the friendly/not friendly emotes
>>559347696>>559347804>Grok refused to make an image of Vandal doing Fortnite danceswe ARE the dystopic future... billions must unwhimsy
>>559347865You should be able to unequip knives and go pacifist Rook and run around like a messenger pigeon.

>>5593484803rd column 3rd row
>>559348767The blue and red cloaked ones seem to have two modes. One is complete silence (environmental cues only) and one is player footsteps and spamming a random assortment of different Shell voicelines.
Just saw a highguard article on a very normie page and everyone kept mentioning Marathon as the coming Concord 3.
>>559349219what the fuck I never saw or heard them do anything like that, that's rad
>Im ok, its Just a flesh wound
>>559349371It's because they're rare as shit. The average rank and file caped ones usually just rush you during combat, but the bigger units that usually appear more frequently as you're nearing exfil timer are groups of 3-6 reds (Silent types) or the Commander blues that operate solo (Player voicelines and footsteps)
>>559348480>me when a goy is talking
>>559345887They have to maintain a high player base of both active, intermittent and inactive players of well over 100k or else C-suite WILL pull the fucking game. Anthem was filled to the brink with players and had a dedicated base, but because it didn't go "bigly" like Fortnite etc, they pulled it.The fact that asshole sweatfuckers are trying to make this game their own, casual players aren't going to tolerate that. The content having 0 story and only a 3-4 maps to rinse repeat off is also a problem. Players are going to run out of shit to do before the 3 month mark. Destiny 2 has a story campaign and a world to interact with while you wait for content.

>>559350283>>559350450>>559350457Do you not fact check the garbage the AI spews out at you, dipshit? Here's your source https://mmo-population.com/game/anthemAnthem sold 2 million copies on release, highly anticipated and packed servers. It needed fixes, but it already had a great starting point back in 2019 and people hoping for more.EA killed the Dev team because it wasn't beating shit like Star Wars, and you know what the final nail in the coffin was? Content drought of THREE MONTHS before an update released. If they kept releasing content it would've given them tons of time to get the game pristine.So yeah, TWO MILLION, and you're saying 250k copies in sales on PC won't kill a game. You're joking.
>>559352345Also it's been out for a while now. CS2 is actually outselling both.
I should not need to tell you that 7 billion players is not good for a 150 kajillion bazillion dollar game
cs2 for chinks and jeets

>>559353050cs2 is a casino and not a game so it's fair to just ignore it as noise.
>>559353616maybe bungie should start lying more than they already do
sisters, I'm worried
>>559349989>>559350283Anthem was a shitshow from minute one and received a reception so lukewarm it didn't even develop an actual hate following. I don't know what world you're living in where it had any sort of organic hype around it, even journos didn't bother shilling it. However Anthem was also under EA who have had a reputation for killing their own studios since the late 00s.A much better example would be Concord, especially because it's the same publisher. Marathon will not flop anywhere near as hard as Concord since Bungie is an actual studio that people put SOME stock in, but I'm doubtful it'll last more than a year.
how much money did Drake bet on us?
>>559353990Concord had no players, no packed servers, and no potential for a dedicated playerbase. Anthem was nothing like Concord or Highguard. It was an actually highly anticipated game from BioWare. People wanted it to be good. That's your problem, you didn't play the game or keep up with it, you fail to realize that 2 million in sales is astronomically larger than 250k, and you are ignoring that everybody knows EA killed it for not being "the next big thing". The game was rushed into release as well. People knew this. They just wanted them to release content and fix the game, a lot of people were waiting it out, and the people who left, could have been brought back with consistent content releases and fixes.Anthem could've been a superior version to No Man's Sky. It is not comparable to Concord that failed so badly it's highest player count was almost 700 players. 700. Not 2 million, 700.

>>559354463Putting aside the vomit of pure fiction that is the rest of your post,>a superior version to No Man's SkyGenuinely, what? Are you thinking of the right game? NMS is a first-person, mostly singleplayer survivalcraft game about going between planets, Anthem was a third-person console MMO with jetpacks as the main gimmick. It was made because EA wanted a competitor to Destiny and The Division.Anthem has about as much in common with NMS as it does Vampire Survivors.

>>559356897I'm compared only the fact that No Man's Sky was underdeveloped and had such a bad release that refunds were in fact issued en masse. However, over time they released fixes and content and now the game is considered a success. In fact even a decade after release it has a consistent playercount of 10k. Anthem, if allowed to continue by EA, could have done the same. Released fixes, released content and bring the game where it should've been. Then garnered a successful playerbase. Anthem, however, wasn't bad in a controversial sense like NMS, and there was no refund debacle either.tl;dr - Anthem didn't have as bad of a launch as NMS, and could've came back stronger. CEOs didn't let it.

>>559356546Yeah, pretty much.Its basically a future version of the American gold rush, in that very, very few ever made it big, and most ended up bankrupt from moving out west, spending all their savings on land/tools, and hoping to offset the investment with a big score.Same thing with runners. A few probably made big money early, which caused everyone else to try it. Now with the corporate sponsors, its become almost routine, with few opportunities for a big score, and every runner now has the looming threat of debt over their heads (which I imagine is the in-universe reason for seasonal wipes)
They cant let us here and not Exfiltrate... Right?
>>559356159That's a Destiny Dad if I have ever seen this one. Go home to your family dude
>>559356895The cinematic gave me the impression that the 3 month wipe will play into the memory loss foreshadowing involving the lucky charm and kid picture
