first for Blackbird/Recon
Go do your quests runner.
I love you, man, I think you’re a wonderful human being with a warm positive outlook on life and the patience of a saintbut I just can’t do this anymore, I can’t, I’m so sorry I hope you understand
>>559913303Im going to skin you now.
Vandal is for brat taming
saaaaaar redeem the maraton please sar i am starving ok i fuck your mother benchod
>>559913617I'd have less problems with the game if triage was a twink frame
>>559913062Finally the timeline is restored, the faggot links are removed. No tranny discord either, well done anon.
im debating buying this game, i absolutely love the aesthetic but i hear the solo experience is horrible, is that true?
>>559913826Are you good at pvp? Solo is miserable if you're very bad.
>>559913826solo is fantastic its just incredibly brutal
Genuinely I want to see how colonists even interacted with some of this game’s environments or buildings it all looks like fisher price
>>559913826Solo is amazing if you like stealth and tension, horrible if you want to chill and collect resources like a carebear
>>559913826solo is fun if you like feeling like a pry animal, it's basically a stealth game where you're being hunted down by other peopleof course if you're good at pvp you can always become the hunter
>>559913826Solo is a very tense experience that rewards methodical play. It feels very different to trios and you might bounce off it if you prefer a more run and gun playstyle.
>>559913862>>559913894im pretty decent, ive dabbled in kovaak's in the past so i can hold my own>>559914047>>559914112>>559914131oh so kinda like arc raiders? if its like that then thats cool, where i heard it from made it sound gamebrakingly bad, like they didnt balance the game around solo and just chuck em in with the squads
>>559913984I don't think bungie put that much thought into it.
>>559914339The PvE stuff isn't super balanced around solo play but you can mitigate that to an extent by being better geared.
>>559913826solo is miserable? try trio’s too, unless you have a premade, and also that premade better be competent at PvPyou will not be looting, you will not be extracting, you will not be engaging in ANY PvE elements at allyou WILL be hunting for other groups as soon as you spawn, you WILL treat this like a Battle Royalethey marketed this shit wrong, its filled to the brim with sweats and griefers and no, its not a skill issue, this is non-stop ass rape in space
>non-stop ass rape in spacehot
is there some way to see how much damage i did to someone after i die? i keep getting in firefights and i feel like im trading but i literally have not won a single time
haven't died in like 6 games wtf
>>559913984You only see humans in the first cgi trailers other than that I agree I’m still confused if most of humanity are in shells or not though
>>559914491hes right and arguing on discord about it is wrong.
>>559914550>and no, its not a skill issueThat's weird because I'm absolutely more skilled than you and I haven't experienced any of the issues you describe at all.
>blackbirds VA gonna be at comic-conmaybe I should go...
>>559913984It's all manufactured and 3D printed on the spot. You think they shipped those buildings as-is across the galaxy?
>>559914771The runners were never human they are tricked into believing they are. I believe they are told that to keep them sane
>>559914339Fuck off back to arg or dg you agp raiding shitskined shill. Slit your throat.
>>559914339>oh so kinda like arc raiders? if its like that then thats coolkind of except you will never encounter a friendly player like you will in arc, marathon is 100% kos>where i heard it from made it sound gamebrakingly bad, like they didnt balance the game around solo and just chuck em in with the squadssolos get their own queue so you won't be up against squads. most of the quests are fine solo, but the ones that require you to kill a specific uesc boss can be a bit of a pain in the ass. you can usually cheese those by running assassin, throwing smoke, and knifing them from behind
One word: *** *******
>>559913826Solo is awful and its not balanaced at all, its obviously a tacked on thing. Don't be tricked into buying this if you only want to play solo.>>559914339Marathon solo is nothing like Arc Raiders. You can actually play Arc Raiders solo and do all the content solo, in Marathon pve enemys are designed for trios and bullet spongey and in groups designed to be fought in trios and the ttk is so low you will just drop if you make any mistakes. Enemys in Marathon don't shoot projectiles you can actually dodge around.Arc Raiders also has a better balance of pvpve but in Marathon its mostly just pvp and basically exclusively pvp if you play solo. In Arc Raiders its normal to run into friendly players, in Marathon everyone is KOS and I don't think there is a way to revive downed non teammates like in Arc Raiders either..If you like sweating in pvp, being able to die but also kill in a shot or two and like exfil camping you will like Marathons solo. Don't buy this thinking this is anything like Arc Raiders solos.
>>559914339in my experience, playing solo is like actually being stealthy/quiet and always checking corners and avoiding open areas.I was kinda bad at it at first just running into places but once I started using the Assassin shell/stealth cloaking more and smokes I was having more success.of course you will have the occasional Ass just waiting in a corner for you but that's just the nature of the game.going against pVe can be tough and many times it's not worth depleating resources just get blind-sided by a third-party
this game goi me fucking addicted>>559885893why support assassin over triage>>559893139i dont see the purpose of this gun, it has worse dps than bully
Assassin is obviously the best shell for solos, but who's the second best? My vote's for Thief
>>559913062ive never seen a blue shield. ive opened like 10 lock boxes and a map event once or twice and looted the poison rooms 4 or 5 times.i have never seen a blue shield that wasnt dropped from a player. should i just focus on quests until i get enough upgrades unlocked to always have blue shield and m77? i feel like i risk low tier loot to get other low tier loot. i dont have anyone to do the bigger events with so i feel kinda dead in the water on a very small content treadmill.
>>559915293Yeah it's thief purely because she hard counters assassin.
>>559913062Since OP is a fag and removed it for no reason/vg/ Discord:https://discord.gg/k7PvdP5D
>/vg/ discordshant be joining your gay tranny e-clique
>>559915385Fuck off tranny
>>559913826it kinda honestly sucks solo. people say "tense" but i dont have gear fear so its just boring. if you dont want to die from some guy waiting in a corner, its mostly W keying, no sprinting and listening for noises. again, "tense" for others boring for me.
>only have 8k creditsI'm so fucking broke dog
>>559915385how cute are the trannies, this will be the deciding factors
>can't find matches at literally 5am in AustraliaIt's so fucking over brosHow am I supposed to have my blast now?
>>559915720>how cute are the tranniesLMFAO
what are we gonna do when the casuals all quit?
>>559913826Solo requires you to play it like Tarkov. Not to a meme extent, but you can't just sprint everywhere and shoot everything without thinking. It's quite enjoyable if you're okay with this but you WILL randomly get sniped and die on occasion.Group fill is also not the worst thing ever.
>>559915385>removed it for no reasonthe absolute mental illness of troons.no reason? what was your reason for forcing it for the past 4 threads?get your troon ass out of here
you better have boughted at least half the cosmetics currently in store and stocked up on the largest amount of LUX in preparation of a store refreshyou do want this game to succeed and the servers to stay online, yes?
>>559915489>>559915592>>559915720you are literally on a site with a dedicated tranny board, and no it's not a containment board because it's not limited to said board (unlike /mlp)
how the fuck does ranked work in this genre?
>this game probably doesnt have 100k on all platforms combinedhow long until F2P?
>>559915962>and no it's not a containment board because i said sofuck off with your propaganda
There's literally not an ounce of gay ERP or tranny shit on the discord but there's tons of it in the thread, really makes you think
>near identical dps>but the bully needs less bullets>if anon is right about aim assist, the bullies bullets are also nearly 2 times bigger>15 vs 90% moving inaccuracyhuh? why would anyone ever pick the copper over the bully?
>>559916003your shell gets bigger tits and/or penis the larger your vault value is
>>559913826The game is a miserable experience because PvP shits on anything PvE related. Unless you are really good at PvP and played extraction shooters before, or are playing on console - nah, dont bother buying it.
>>559915962if it were a red board that'd be better
>>559912742I mean they could do it as like a prefab thing. A bunch blocks dropped on top of each other and interlocking in different ways. Or a residential section on the Marathon.It's a shame their map system locks them out of really doing that due to no real way to represent verticality.
>>559916126>There's literally not an ounce of gay ERP or tranny shit on the discord>he lied as naturally as he breathed
>>559916126Yea, I don't want to be humiliated and have it tied to my user name that I'm a huge Thief slut that blows her teammates and enemiesWhy would anyone party with me on purpose
Getting real tired of seeing Sins. Why is their stealth ability not their ultimate?
>>559916110newfag
>>559915878>all casuals quit>queue into random trios>no retards stomping around>no retards looting mid fightif bungie added team deathmatch, capture the flag, and control points, this game would sell and casuals would go there.if bungie added pve encounters with no pvp, this game would sell and casuals would go there.i say this as a casual.
I bring 1 lockbox keys and 1 hazard keys into every run and I always comeback with more, I'm gonna start selling them.
>>559916017>f2pThe worst shit that they can possibly do.
>>559916274>lyingYou would post proof if it was true
I just want Vandal to impregnate me before the servers go down
>>559916358>highlights completely unrelated thing>calls namesretarded autistic troon, take your medsi've been here before you were born
let me get up in that butt fellow runners
>>559915878>Bungie warned through all the testing that the TTK is too fucking low and no one likes it>they do nothing to address it>devours the game from the inside outTurns out 99% of people don't like being one shot the second they step outside of a building or turn a corner, who would have guessed
>>559913984>800 years in future>humans still shit in toilets
>>559913826it's a boring piece of shit with friends and even more so when solo. plus it will shut down in a month maybe two so dont bother with it
>>559916658>liquid cheeseburger>solid shit
>>559916561its funny because the cope is>BUT IF TTK WAS LONGER>BETTER PLAYERS WOULD OBVIOUSLY OUTPLAY YOUwithout thinking about sbmm or how that feels infinitely more fair than getting 1 shot or how the only people who would lose in that situation are actual bad players
>>559916297i bet your feet smell really bad haha
>>559915878You will move on to the next pvp-included game, like you always do. You people are parasites or locusts, dont care which, you need to be roasted.
if i cant do this in marathon i will not be boughted, im afraid.
>>559916719Compared to the same hour yesterday it is genuinely possible we see peak 30k by friday.
>>559914950uh oh shill melty
>>559916781game?
anyone else get DC'd?
>>559913826Solo is like playing Halo 2 on Legendary but health and shields don't auto-recharge. You have to find them as items in the map or that you bring with you.
>>559916895Yeah. I think the server unironically hiccuped
>>559916781Why does this look exactly like marathon but... more?
>>559916763Well yea, but that's just cause I run around so much >.< luckily I just wear the simple stirrups that are kinda like socks, so I can let the girls out
>>559916781crazy how marathon is literally this but with an ai filter
servers just got pulled, its ogre
>>559916132because bungie needed to have a strong starter weapon while also having a "better" high tier version for the weapon type.
>>559916934Fuck I just knife'd two people to death in my naked run
>>559915878The compilers will save Marathon.
the healbot champion being a man was a mistake
>>559917017>the game got such a surge today it knocked off the serversWowzers.
Moral of the story:- extraction shooters are a shit genre for subhumans- never give money to triple A studiosI passed on BF6 and I was right but for some reason I got baited by Marathon. I guess it must have been the price, 30€ is pretty low for a game nowadays.
>>559917069theres infinitely less marathon porn because of it
>>559916870you cant play it anymore. im sorry but you just had to be there.
Are those... "compilers"... in the room with us right now?
>>559917017>>559917093dire marsh terminals finished at the same time, coincidence?
Bruh.
>>559917069>he doesn't want to be the boytoy healslut for a demanding thief/vandal teamngmi
>>559917017>>559917230OH SHITARE THEY RELEASING CRYO ARCHIVE?
>>559917113The game can literally die right now and I still got my money's worth, 40$ is literally pocket change
>>559917069I don't want to play as droid floyde.
>>559917291Cryo is out,restart your game
>>559917291no
Cryo Archive...Cryo means ice... Ice is blue...Blue... Archive.../bag/ collab will save /mg/
A COMPILER JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE!!!
>>559917113>- extraction shooters are a shit genre for subhumansThis is a white man's game, sorry
nah this shit is just fucking retarded, 20 seconds from spawn our trio got pinged and downed by anotherwhats the fucking point, Bungie, just make this a TDM and F2P and you’ll probably make some money back
We should make a dating service for marathon players. I'll start:I'm looking for a marathon player in the southeastern united states who wouldn't mind me fucking their asshole.
FUCK YOU BUNGIE LET ME IN MY GPU DRIVER WORKS FINE WITH LITERALLY EVER OTHER GAME
>not a single entertaining streamer is playing marathon anymore>not even superior japanese vtubers are playing itI blame arcfags
The funny part is that Marathon isn't even actually hardcore.The average gamer has just literally devolved to a subhuman ape that has a complete meltdown the moment they hit the slightest bit of friction playing a game.
>>559918003holo jp is playing next week
>>559917801>make it TDM and f2pAnd attract brownoids??? Nooooo thank you!
>>559918003its just too sweaty and oppressive, nobody likes watching that kinda stuff, the world is bad enough as it is irl than having to watch this
>>559918286yeah look at sea of thieves, the game is not hard at all and yet people cry for a pve mode for years
How the FUCK do they expect anyone to get this done without a premade?
>>559918286Some just hate faggy rat players, I mean that's my case. Though, I'm a shitter that's played too much rising storm
>>559918324yeah but they're all fucking terrible at videogames, I meant the apex crowd like VSPO and their circle
>>559918003>No one wants to watch it cause there is literally 0% of friendly encounters or wacky back and forth because the 0.01 second it takes to say a word you're already deadWow shocker
>>559918286how is a game where you die in less than half a second and lose all your gear not hardcore? i don't think its a big deal but it's definitely hardcore.
>>559918003there is only one solution.KILL every single arc raiders player. >there's 15 million+, though!then start building the fucking death camps! INDUSTRIALIZED SLAUGHTER UNTIL MARATHON SUCCEEDS.
>>559918526It's really weird, the bungie devs had to have seen how Arc was getting big viral clips and streamers because of the back and forth between players and yet didn't even try to do anything to encourage that behavior in their game
>>559918372I did it without a premade. With randoms. We killed two teams in the process. You're just bad.
>>559918613reminder that thief has literally no ass ingame
>>559918613is that a diaper?
>>559918645Sony probably saw that but nothing gets in the way of Bungies vision, son, you will enjoy and play it the way they intended
>>559918645they don't want that kind of behavior in their game, this was very intentionally designed as a pvp-centric exprience
>part 4 of the drinkable burger lorelol
>>559918372I did it in two tries. The first attempt I still extracted but I just ran out of time to hit the DCON first.
vandal is for violent snuff rape
>>559918613what the hell, is that his bum?
Hope you fags saved up on your Tarax Seeds and Blue Neurochem Packs!
>>559919027the daily barter offerings are different for everyone anon
>>559919180well rip those guys
Schema are a one-time buy right, the guns on the far-right column in the Armory?
>>559918893is this futa
>>559919336>Who the hell do we kill?Yourself.
>>559919358The amount of times you can buy them depends on the schema.
>>559918514>yeah but they're all fucking terrible at videogames>Botan>Terribleget poi'd bitch
>>559916773>You will move on to the next pvp-included game, like you always do. You people are parasites or locusts, dont care which, you need to be roasted.bro is really getting upset people play more than one video game
>>559913826Just don't go running around POIs and alerting your presence to everyone. Sound is a key element and so is getting the jump on other players. I kind of prefer solo because my fillmates love running and sliding like it's apex.
>>559916017What is wrong with this guys webcam? Does he have some weird filter to try and make himself look less ugly or something?
>>559918534>lose all your gearto be fair you also get free gear whenever you want. I literally do not interact with my stash, just spam spacebar to queue, get in, run for 5 minutes, die, press spacebar again, repeat.
>>559913826please. please brother. please buy the game i don't want this game to die please brother
>>559919027I had one on me, but I failed to hitch an exfil. Panicked and went in too early. Felt like my heart was going to crack a rib.
>>559917679Russians are not white.
>>559919960Awwww shit almost
I'm a thiefI'm a slut
>>559920043Russians don't play pay 2 play games.
>>559916017>f2pANYTHING BUT THAT. FUCK. FUCK ARC RAIDERS FOR KILLING MARATHON FUCK MAN FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK THEY GAVE ANTIREAL A JOB MAN I JUST WANT THIS GAME TO SUCCEED FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>>559919509thats one person out of 50
yeah i know you like the game and want it to continue but im just not playing it im sorry hahaha im just not playing this game im sorry i know the numbers are bad i just hahaha im sorry i just wont play iton behalf of all casuals btw
>>559917801>f2pYou want scum to infest it like fleas a stray dog?What they need to do is to give it a PVE mode, and an offline + LAN. Atleast then people buying it will know that they can squeeze some fun-juice out of it and skins that they buy will atleast stay with them.You would be surprised how much money they would make over the course of a few years if they do that right now.
this is fucking useless against players, what should I swap it with? maining Bully
>>559920171True I guess, though Miko is fun to watch
>>559920294>You want scum to infest it like fleas a stray dog?
>>559920120I'm here playing Marathon, though.
>Marathon is kind of a flop, and even I'm already growing fatigued with the low ttk>Runescape increased their membership prices>Fortnite cut down the vbucks from the battlepass, cut down the vbucks from the crew membership AND lowered the amount of vbucks you get from buying them directlyUhhhhhh shit be rough these days, everything is falling apart
>>559918821Wait 'till you see the 5th.
>>559920428nta but us latinxs are not playing this game, bought it and just not having fun lmao....im sorry i just wont play thisback to rivals
How does the Volt sniper play? Is it only a sniper or can you actually use it like a normal gun?I don't want to bring it to a lobby just to lose it.
>>559920294>What they need to do is to give it a PVE mode, and an offline + LAN.get the fuck back to your raped general retard
>>559916017this game can't go f2p since they have nothing to sell. this games art style is insanely divisive and the vast majority of people don't like it so they aren't going to buy skins, plus the skins they're selling are all low effort recolors of the same model and most people consider the battle pass the worst battle pass they have ever seen.this isn't like destiny where they can sell expansions either.
>>559920474>Iranian gamers were keeping the economy afloat
>>559920294they don't have enough enemy variety for a pve mode, fighting uesc would get boring fast without the risk of pvp. it could work if they add more ayys, but considering they spent 5 years working on the game and could only add ticks and one single compiler, i don't know if they're able to do that
>>559920120They infested server slam as if it was a free giveaway, and then proceeded to bitch and wail that the game is not f2p, that they get tapir error and that their potatos cannot run it because it is CPU-dependent. It was a major shitshow.
>>559919509Which other jps are playing?
so basically im just not playing marathon
>>559920664>fighting uesc would get boring fast without the risk of pvpFighting uesc is already boring. They're the most generic kind of enemy imaginable.
>>559920171Ayame and Towa were really good on valorant and apex respectively
>>559920845>>559920474Why are you pretending to be multiple people?
>>559920664>>559920871>Generic basic and boring>but also they do insane damage and everything but the most basic unit are tanky too Literally could not have designed them worse, I love having to empty an entire fucking clip into one and its still shooting just for it to hit me with 2 bullets and 60% of my health is gone
>300k on launch turned into >holding steady turned into>i dont care about player numbers turned into>so what if the game EoS i had fun with it
>>559920329If you're loaded you can use a sniperIf not then try the M77
>>559920871It's more interesting dealing with a bullet sponge npc than dealing with the usual tards that just pop out and either third party, or just rat in corners with assassin
>>559918818>>559918802Current arc is barely this unless you start shit in low aggression lobbiesArc Also suffers from a blazing fast TTK too. The issue is people really just treat it like a loot goblin simulation. Ironically, this is what a Tarkov rat was until it changed with arc
>>559920945i just posted faceporn cuz they also did
>>559920945Kill yourself comparing me with a literal spammer
>>559920902Towa is a man
>>559920329Longshot, that burst rifle. Yeah, hardline and repeater suck ass. I hate the balancing they did because ammo type might as well go to shitter.>same caliber>damage varies greatly between weaponsAnd dont get me started with WSTR shotgun and sniper rifles.>shotgun>more silent than a pistol>melee weapon-rangeAnd>sniper>retarded range>put thermal, camp, and you are godGame is bullshit. The kind of bullshit that was in Halo IIRC - shotty and sniper all day every day, everything else can go to hell, except magnums - you either do shotty or magnum. But here magnum is shit, so... Nah, i am disappointed with this game. Bungie and Sony should be sued for a misleading advertising of the game.
this general was too racist and antisocial and the game is boring....us latinx are not playing this sloppa what can i tell ya
The PvP is fun
>>559921204Yeah, my man
>>559920664Idk anon, for me fighting UESC is just fine. Idk about you, but the game is not just about "fight other players" or "fight robots". There is a bit more to it, and i would like that *bit* very much.
>>559921204https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWSAPL49-24come on dog
>>559921251I mean this is literally just halos sandbox reskinned. I mean for fucks sake one of the pistols is just a glorified plasma pistol
>>559921417that's literally a man
>>559920294>PVE mode, and an offline + LAN
>>559920845Anon, you cannot post that without providing a name/sauce. Image naming exists for a reason.>not playing MarI am considering withdrawing too. Its just not fun anymore, its a chore.
>>559921386> but the game is not just about "fight other players" or "fight robots". There is a bit more to it, and i would like that *bit* very much.genuinely not sure what you mean by this desu, what else is there beyond fighting players or fighting robots? sure there's the story quests/codex entries but those are all locked behind fighting
a white woman character with a big penis and balls would guarantee goty but bungie isn't ready for that sort of innovation
>>559913826Just dont play solo's.Queuing with randoms is not that bad at all. Everyone's on a fairly equal footing with the low ttk and you can just pick a self sufficient shell thats good at surviving if things go south.
Damn honeymoon over already? Just when I was gonna buy..
>>559921541brother your brain has the social media brainrotthis is what natural human females look like, without the 100 layers of make up and 50 different filters
>>559921726i'm not your brothertowa is a man
>>559920294Or ya know>remove in one run stipulations for contracts>allow multiple contracts >if they do add a pve mode at least make it so the items gained can't be brought into pvp and vice versa>make ranked geared for pvp focus only>make unranked slightly less punishing with item insuring and safety wallets
Futa is a dicklet fetish, if you like futa 90% chance youre a dicklet
>>559921074>rat in corner with 'sassTechnically that is me, but i dont attack people - i just fight robots, get some loot, and evac because i am so mighty tired of the gameplay "loop". I'd rather play Halo at this point.>destinyNever played it. I saw Destiny 1 once, and was kinda interested in it, but it was IIRC console-only. Ok, and then Destiny 2 was on Steam and i though about getting into it but i was already burned out on Path of Exile 1 and was playing 76 at the time. I just decided to skip it after watching some vids and reading about seasons and content deletion and retarded balance/patch choices. I have not touched D2, so fuck bungie if they are so retarded that they cannot do gameplay right.
>>559921943What about cucking
>>559921251>Bungie and Sony should be sued for a misleading advertising of the game.every trailer is runners killing eachother
Do you think steam might actually start hiding player numbers? I only think they might be because the steam reviews are 100% being swept up by valve, they've been hard stuck at 90% to keep the very positive rating.
longshot is so OP in this game its crazyid say its easily even more OP than the shotgun, its a guaranteed 1 headshot 1 bodyshot on any shield
>>559922009Depends but mostly a dicklet fetish too
>>559921642Go play deus ex, system shock 2, system shock remaster, STALKER, and then think what would it be like if they were extraction-based, and then come back and tell me that.
>>559922325fuckin warned everyone this game is an unbalanced fuckin mess but nope no one listens lalala steam numbers this game is great blah blah concord 3 sick of it
>>559921431And so i would rather play Halo for PvP because i dont have to go through how many screens and loading screens every time i die.
>>559922312An alternative hypothesis for the positive reviews is that nobody is shelling out 40 dollars to leave a negative review to own the libs.
>>559922587sorry sweety this is a hardcore genre based off a jank half ass mod thats a military sim haha go back to your goo goo ga ga baby mario games lol
>care about the lore and setting>dont like extraction shooters>cant do quests, cant do the terminals, dont have my marathon ticket because of ttk>lore isnt even that well written anyways
>>559922763im being told that the quests are designed to get you to pvpthats where we are at
>>559922046If they frontload PvP like that, why dont they just remove the vE bit? I mean, it is advertised as PvPvE afterall, or is it the sequence priority then? First vP and then if you manage to defeat other team(s), you finally get vE except its limited by how much time you have left. Because if it is that, then it is indeed a misleading advertisement because they dont clarify anything.
>>559922508it is very unbalanced, yes.but i sill get killed more by shotgun than longshot.HOWEVER theres a low zoom scope near the end of traxus upgrades.. its only a matter of time before using the sniper with this low zoom becomes meta
>>559922441i'm thinking about it and it sounds terrible, except maybe for stalker. how would you even add extraction mechanics to ss/dx? you die in area 51 and have to start over from the beginning of the game?
>>559922676NTA, but that's not even a good shitpost worth insult.
>>559922879that is the meta normies came up with>kill all other players on the map>so you can do the "PvE"
>>559922676> this is a hardcore genre based off a jank half ass mod thats a military sim>half ass modIt all started with retards in 2014 and that innawoods general thread on /k/. Yeah, it is a retard mode made for retard sweats to appease their constipated ego.
>>559921696is this not Vandel?I thought that's why Recon was in love with her
>>559922763>>lore isnt even that well written anywaysthis has been my biggest letdown so far desu. og marathon's lore was pure schizokino, destiny 1's grimoire had top-tier prose AND schizokino, nu-marathon's overarching plot is interesting but the actual writing is too dry and prosaic
>Vandel
Bungie making a press announcement at Mar-a-Lago in two hours, I don’t know Marathon Sissies, this could be it for us…
>>559923072yeah now we are so far off appealing to the gun nuts and we all have lego box guns that shoot laser beam bullets. i dont know where the hardcore part converts over other than you die too fast and you lose your shit. i guess you have to navigate menus and the skill comes from how fast you can see which shield/mod is better than the other manually
the moment i read the dogshit uesc and vandal codex entries i realized this game just was all style no contentcatering the game to the only player with gold shit and the most pvpbrained people well, i dont have time for this>>559923209yeah the plot is interesting and people love the aesthetic, im saving all the vids and such. just the soul isnt there
The ARGers have to do Outpost now so Outpost missions might be more doable on solos until Cryo Archive unlocks.
>only two friends who got the game just dropped it cause of the ttkIt's actually so fucking over
>>559922921hope they got a good matchmakin algorithm going otherwise us gamer dads are going to be fucked
I can’t believe this pvp shooter I bought has pvp! This is friggin ridiculous I’m going to shit my diaper.
>my threadcrush stopped playing marathon after dying in Perimeter trying to do one of the exfil contracts
>>559923561is it really pvp when every fight is decided in seconds cause its about who see's who first and not any actual sort of skill
Thiefsluts or vandalsissies, who gives better blowies?
>>559913062>Play the Original Marathon for Freeis it worth it to play the OG or is it too outdated? I kind of want to try it but I want to know what I'm in for.
....but what do the C.02 marathon keycards do? any expectations?i'm suspecting it's an item that allows you to access cryo archive?
>>559923561It's not a pvp shooter. It's a rat shooter.
>>559923719Play the OG's, it's pretty straightforward, just boot em up and go.
>>559922923>how would you even add extraction mechanics to ss/dxSame way it is in Marathon>map>select task>complete task and extract before time runs out>loot and placables are semi-randomised>enemies and reinforcements>enemy type rotates>some tasks have to be done under specific conditions/modifiers (biohazard air, unstable electric discharges, spreading infestation, kill team hunting you, raise no alarms, etc)You progress with completion of each mission (task). You have inventory that you can stock up and use for missions. If you die you lose all of your gear and need to recuperate (hardcore mode: you die and its a game over). No quicksaves/saves and save scumming, but you can save progress in missions to resume later (think checkpoints or ironman mode).
>>559923719It's so old that you can't manually reload
>Heh I'm willing to slowly crouch around with a knife so that means I win
>>559923708listen to recon's voice, she definitely gives the best
Alright fagsName your favorite WipEout team and your favorite Marathon faction
Crouching will make me God
>>559923965Getting up is the first step
>>559923836oh so you basically just want prey mooncrash? yeah that would be cool actually
>Hop on Marathon>Get 2 shot by a fag camping a corner>Hop onto a good gameYeah sorry Bungie I actually like to PvP in my PvP games not just play hide n seek
>>559923321Those retards have tarkov. Its THE game for them. Its the same retards who would make mods like Misery for STALKER, where your entire gameplay is being a murderhoboing rat who gets off on scavenging 1 factory-made 7.62 cartridge.

>>559924325
>>559924212Tarkov is unironically TOO hard for some people lmao
>>559924101I mean, Marathon for me is not that far from Prey 2017, except instead of ArtDeco we have warehouse/lego blend, and cannot throw boxes and furniture around.
>>559924325*buys spirit resist*wow that was hard
>>559924212I don't like Tarkov's aesthetic, the IRL gun autism and realistic Slav milsim shit don't appeal to me at all. Marathon has a cooler aesthetic, so I like the game more.
>>559923908Recon only eats (Thief) pussy
clearly they should make this a gamemode>PvE only>spawn on map with no gear/freekit>get x minutes to loot areas for equipment, normal bots still spawn>once timer is up, lockdown spawns>complete the lockdown to get better gear>optional extract, otherwise get directed to another area for another lockdown>this lockdown is even harder>optional extract spawns once completed>repeat, lockdowns get significantly harder and spawn higher level gear>rook's can spawn in higher levels to fuck you up or steal extracts
>>559923776>>559923673skill issue
>>559924453Cramming in 10 gorillion mechanics for the sake of realism and leaving the chinese cheaters in is actually not as fun as you'd think for most people
>>559924473>buys spirit resist>gets fucked by furry wolf slutnice game
>>559924704Unironically gonna look this game up.
>>559923708thief has godlike technique but you can tell she's not really into it and is just doing it to manipulate youvandal's technique is sloppy but she makes up for it with passion, she'll press a gun against your head and threaten to shoot you if you don't cum within the next 5 seconds
maki#3953 level 7 hmu if anyone wants to learn with me ig?
The only thing I miss from playing Tarkov and it's Chinese cousin Arena Breakout are the food and drink eating animations. There's something to be said for eating a tin of warm sprats in a bombed out hovel. Wish I could drink a burger in the tunnels under AI Uplink....
>>559924760ofc you are you fucking furry
millions of people are happily playing Marathon and you're just here shitpostingthey just don't play steam, they're all on console
>>559924512>realistic Slav milsim shitThe issue with that is that its also a lot of bullshit with obvious pandering to russians and russian gear. Think PKM/RPK > M60/M240/whatever they have today in US army. Kinda same shit is seeing in one of those World of Tanks or was it WarThunder games. Favouritism. Its shit, a very niche of a niche gametype designed for a very specific audience/mind. And here are Bungie who though it would be a good idea. I honestly think they just scammed Sony, though idk who actually got those 3.5 or so bills - shareholders/owners of Bungie? Fuck them all, its a fucking mess.
>>559924890>they just don't play steam, they're all on consolethis has been debunked
>>559924864reminds me of a post that was like>picture of the 2x drinkable cheeseburger>everyone speculating about it and how its silly>"omg I bet its a healing item and you get to use it with a teammate for a funny unique animation">"omg that would be so funny">"SOUL">"I thought that was obvious"
>hear pvp is BRUTAL>hear TTK is low >hear YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE>hear randos are cancer >queue into fill trios all the time on Perimeter >most people are chill if you open up with a "what's up guys">some run free kits but so are some of the enemies >using green shields makes your survivability skyrocket>even with potato aim manage to down a few runners>basic callouts and flanks win most PvP encounters, only really wipe when an op gets the drop on us>cooperate to get other peoples contracts done and therefore they're far more likely to stick with you >jolly co-operation and healthy extracts Yeah man I don't see the complaints. Maybe it gets worse on Marsh and Outpost or something. But my Outrun and Magnum are doing just fine on Destroyer. Might pivot to Recon just for the extra info and pings.
Im just a simple destroyer because I like the cyborg from OG and the security helmet from halo
>be rook>go to exfill>alt tab>wait till hear footsteps>kill at least one nigger at the minimum>???>profit
>>559924845I'm gonna add you but I'm going to sleep soon, anon, maybe later we can play
>>559925042I really do think Bungie missed an opportunity to add food animations. I can understand wanting to streamline the minutiae but I thought there was a good cadence for it.
>>559924560this already happens on dire marsh
>>559925304>kill at least one niggeryou are the nigger
>>559924845Smol lil gup. I will play with you. But I'm not home. Post in a bread like 6 hours from now.
The two naked runs I've done on Destroyer have gone phenomenally well so far, the knife is atrocious lmao. Destroyer has the highest base melee damage in the game so he kind of just shreds people with the first Arachne upgrade.
>>559925304>>kill at least one nigger at the minimum>>???>>profitIDGI, how do you profit by killing yourself?

>>559926085bruh wrong screen
>>559925085try playing solo instead of trios, most people complaining about>hear pvp is BRUTAL>hear TTK is low>hear YOU WILL NOT SURVIVEare people playing solo
>>559915878It's gonna be the same thing that happened in apex. First 1-2 weeks after launch where most people bumble around. Then you run into a sweat lord or get run down by SEAL Team Six. And slowly but surely you see more and more cracked players. So you either git gud by aim training, watching better players, and adhering to the meta. Or you drop the game because it starts to feel like a job and games are supposed to be fun.
>>559926085bro is playing marathon on the og macintosh
>>559926276I've got a good caption for this, "Sponsored by Razer"
the pvp in this game is like playin chess except everyones a bishop or queen

>>559926557or rook
Sometimes it's just really impossible to communicate to people. They don't react to pings, they don't react to chat. They just stay in one place and fight UESC until the next runner teams kills them.
>>559926579its like the deep dungeon in fft. you are just blindly going on squares lookin for loot then you just get petrified by a one eyed flyin monster that is half a map away
why are we even looting weapons, shoulnt they be either recently printed or centuries old
>>559924424I'm blasting off again nigga.
>>559926641its really tellin when you get a squad of people who don't talk, sprint right at the closet area and just start shooting and looting. start runnin into every room lookin for shit to loot, then go die on the otherside of the complex to a teamevery successful run was like >spawn in>lets go to this area 2-3 minutes away>hey we hear gunshots>go and wipe their squad because they were busy killin robots or lootingand its over in a matter of seconds. then we never see a single team againhow many squad spawns are even in the maps? that would help like, a lot.
>>559926808Sci-fi concept of Tracktable Munitions and Wearless Weapons. One of the 4x games has that nailed down.
>>559926487good idea actually>>559926276how did they make her hips so sexy but her butt so flat
>>559916017I don't believe this, anecdotally I'm getting matched with console players all the time. Where is his proof for this other than "bungie revealed it to me in a dream?"
>>559927002Could watch the video you know...
>>559926641cant help those people but i found that pinging a location at the start and a simple "lets kill this team here" very often works in getting them to follow
cryo archive today, Outpost ARG panels about to be solved
>>559926962?
>>559926948>then we never see a single team againEven better>jump a team who are fighting robots>wipe them>two other teams approach our location>they wipe us out and then have a fight with each otherIt is as if all location on Perimeter are covered with honey or something.
>check recon's base stats>all of it is as garbage as it gets>but her ultimate is allegedly good!
Just trap bagged a guy and had to sprint across the compound and he was in the middle of self-reviving lmao I bet he was seething
>>559927168Once i am back to playing Endless Space 2, i'll make some screenshots/images.
>>559927341>Endless Space 2I hated that game, couldnt understand how to play it.I'm a SMAC only type of guy.
>>559927263>each shell has different stat distribution Wow I did not know that
>>559927157can't wait for the reviews to say lol game bad
Gjallarhorn, Rivers of Blood, BFG, Akimbo 1887s, there have been many overpowered weapons in gaming history, but none of them compare to the sheer insanity of this mother fucker right here.
hope this game never gets a tracker of any sort and they never add that stupid ranked mode, game feels good as is. no need for the gay ego shit
>volt AR has 120 rpm firerate, literally as slow as longshotHUH? why are the stats lying
>>559925085Never played an extraction shooter before this one and I was expecting to get smoked constantly but it isn't that bad. I wonder if playing solo fill doesn't match you against premade stacks or something
>>559927530thats itI'm uninstalling
To those in /mg/ who've played the Destiny IP, you think they'd ever introduce something akin to exotic weapons?
Outpost wasn't so bad. Also, guarded exfils are basically made for rooks.
>find zero contagion samples in Quarantine>find one in algae pondshmm?
>>559926948>how many squad spawns are even in the maps? Five on perimeter, six on marsh, four on outpost. I think perimeter is meant to be kinda empty to make free kits more viable
>>559927462If it is of any relief to you - with the latest community update it got worse, so nothing lost there. I liked it well enough, IMO its better than Stellaris.A lot of sci-fi concepts in it kinda give off same vibes as with Marathon, except it has better aesthetics.
is it easier to free kit solo or to play unupgraded rook?
>>559928552>except it has better aestheticslollmao
>>559928782Free Kit because you can't upgrade Rook as Rook.
>>559913826There’s a lot of fun to be had. If you do decide to get it? Don’t worry about extracting with amazing loot as a beginner. Use the no risk free sponsor kits and do quests. Focus on those. And don’t be afraid to engage in PvP. Shoot them. Sell everything. It’s all garbage tier until you are grabbing purple items anyway. Go ahead and save a few blues but otherwise everything is just cash.
>>559928782Naked Solo Destroyer runs, skulk around compounds Rambo style and gut other players.
Does Bungie really prioritize matchmaking against other teams with the same quests?
>>559913826I'd wait until next wipe to get the game to see if we're even going to still have a game.
>>559916781yes explosive barrels exist in marathon
>>559928782unupgraded rook kinda sucks so just go free kit till you can upgrade him.
How the hell am I supposed to do these terminals for the event with randos/solos?
>spend time getting all the keys to get the giga loot room in pinwheel>someone gets it before me>hear drone wing dropping>hes heading for gaurded exfil>he calls it>he drops smoke>i pop thief visor and thirst him 1 second before he exfilsheh...
>>559928782Weapons wise free kit. Otherwise rook. He’s got a green backpack, infinite healing, and he can extract easily under disguise at guarded extract zones
Perimeter feels like a half baked BR map compared to the other two. It’s not all bad, but it’s tied together with the gamey feeling cliffsIt feels lile there’s 2.5 maps
>played this game for 30 hours and I've only encountered somebody twice in the Tunnels on PerimeterDo people genuinely just not know about this area?
>>559929223can i do this in marathon
Has Bungie gone on record stating why there is no buttpocket for this game?
>>559923476the ttk is the main reason I enjoy it. its not arc raiders where you literally cannot down anyone from long distance, but its also not tarkov where the power scaling is so ludicrous your rounds are either plinking off of people and doing nothing OR you/they die in 2 milliseconds. marathon hits a pretty good sweet spot for me
>>559929527season 2 shoulder charge destroyer core
>>559929165yea part of me is saying just wait for the inevitable season 2 sale.but also i get paid tomorrow...
>>559929524I play trios and i had like 3 teamfights there today
>>559929446I actually like Perimeter the most but mostly because it’s gamey. Outpost is fun if you are solo for horror game experience, or if you’re in a party. But most of my friends are the type of people to play for an hour every other day. Playing with randoms on outpost is suffering. And Marsh. Well Marsh is only fun if you’re sniping.
>>559929527im not even sure what im looking at to be completely honest, if you mean mobility tech/exploits yeah you can have two thiefs and one flies the drone and the other grapples to it
>>559929747lucky
Marathon Nation... Today, We Run
>>559929791It really sucks that marsh is so fucking miserable when it's 1/4 maps in the game
>>559929846can i do this in marathon
>>559930009what the FUCK is this
>>559930009Give someone a grand mal seizure? Probably.
Well played Bungie.You got my money but after 60 hours I can say that your game is meh and I will probably stop playing at wipe.
>>559930198i know what you are feeling but imma say the gameplay loop is still enough to keep me hooked for a while
>original Marathon takes heavy influence from the battle of Marathon, Greece>nuMarathon takes influence from jogging in overpriced Nike sportswear
>>559930379If new marathon was a little more based on reality it would pretty much be like playing Hyenas.
>>559929165nah this thing wont die, at worst it will go f2p in a year and keep going for a while aftertekken 8 is on season 3 now yet the average steam player count is like 6k, with 16k being the peak from a year ago. they are continuing to add characters, stages, costumes, and balance patches to this thing. its max number online at once on steam was like 50k lol.Somehow I feel like if marathon can maintain at least a consistent 30k at least before going f2p, it will remain alive, and it seems to have no problem so far reaching those numbers
>>559930507Accurate
>>559930198i mean 60 hours of entertainment for 40 dollars is already decent value but keep in mind they will continue to add content. somehow people played tarkov for 500000 hours between patches when they only had like 3 maps and 10 guns at one point. also ranked mite b cool
>>559930528fighting games aren't made with the expectation that they're going to be a fortnite level live service game unless one is made by a retard like riot that buys a promising studio and gives them creative freedom to end up making the most casual filtering fighting game in recent years with the expectation it was going to take everything by storm only to end up laying off half the dev team and EOSing the game...some of that sounds familiar

>>559925768i was bullied for my appearance all my life. they pushed me, they pulled me, they called me names. and i never got to do anything about it. until now.i get to stand up to my bullies by killing those niggers right before they can exfill. seeing the realization in their eyes as they're downed and i'm about to execute them, losing all their hard work, realizing it was all for nothing.
>>559931365i'm sure sony dropped 4 billion on them just to help them out
>>559931461>villains aren't born, they are created
>>559926298Sounds like they need to swap to fill trios. It's really not that bad, you do get some bum runs but a tiny bit of communication early on goes a long way.
For me, it's the NuCaloric Drinkable Cheeseburger. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra Patch Kits and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.One time I asked for a Patch Kit and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly NuCaloric Agricultural staff member laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three Patch Kits. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local NuCaloric terminal. I go there at least 3 times a run for heals and a large Regen implant with lower weapon handling instead of heat, 1-2 times for a Protector V1 after an exfil, and maybe once for a Panacea Kit when I'm in a rush but want a great consumable that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily defensive needs.I even Smart Heal my damage with an Advanced Shield Charge, it's so convenient! What a great company.
>>559930528Well here’s the thing. Bungie has how many people employed? 850? In the Bellevue area.Let’s assume that they make the median income in the area of 160k a year. Let’s round down to 150k. Because devs get underpaid. And that’s assuming they all have the same salary (they don’t most probably make a lot more) Just to pay everyone employed at Bungie. not contractors, no lights or other building costs, no lawyers, nothing. Just paying employees for one year is LOWBALLED at $127.5 million dollars. This is why the game needs a higher player count than normal. This is why they need people to pay pig the skin cash shop. I’m having fun with the game but unless the Marathon raid map at least holds the player count at current levels, this game will need a major restructuring following mass layoffs.
>>559930528Marathon had a way higher budget and expectation than a fighting game like Tekken.Tekken also can sell things like characters which are a lot more impactful and Marathon will have to give out its shells for free like other hero shooters.Skins in Tekken are also more broadly appealing than Marathons skins.Tekken would make more money at 6-16k than marathon at 6-16k.

>>559929162It could be because everything is new but I wouldn't be surprised loading in with at least 2 people on the same contract
So when is the damn patch dropping? i wanna buy the game only after the patch
>>559932034Interesting.I wish we could stop the whole "story is shown on twitter" bullshit
So, i played for 4 hours.About half of that solo.It doesnt really feel like i progress in factions, i dont really feel rewarded for some poor suckers i skinn, and the whole upgrade system feels way to punishing upon death.But i like the loop, some games are just short extractions, others feel like a fieldtrip with dudes i barely know.Another thing i noticed is that i never encountered a single player using voicechat, neither in team nor in proximity.
>>559932034There's something poetic about that big ad tag.
>>559932609When you start the game and it asks if you want to use voice chat its defaulted on no so 99% don't use voice chat.
>>559932034Whos making one of these for MIDA that reads like antifa posting
>second time ive killed someone in outpost 1 second before exfilalright i feel bad now
I'm just gonna go back to Splatoon 3. It's still shit but at least it's stylish shit.
If the world were a just and good place, the following would happen:>marathon retains its current audience >snoy is upset but recognizes a moderate success>slashes Bungie and internalizes enough people that understand the engine to keep it going with smaller scale updates >game sees a long and happy life with a dedicated playerbase and tight knit internal development teamWhat will actually happen:>Bungie leadership has lied to Snoy>"Cryo archive (the endgame pvp sweatfest only 1% of players will ever see) will save the game trust the sales will be in the billions 500k concurrents trust the plan" >cryo hits like a wet fart >Bungie is shuttered >EoS within a few months because the game is too expensive to maintainI'm enjoying my time before that happens and I'm loading into Cryo with greens and sponsor kite just to see it.

Second time I down a rook at the final exfil and let him exfil with me.I just can't do it.I fucking hate this game so much.
>>559932923>moderate successOn what earth is this a fucking moderate success?
>>559933016Further proving my point thanks that sucks ass. Is it any warden at all? I feel like green kit randos could kill wraith warden...>>559933185Best we can hope for is a "thank you for paying" premium currency check when the game pivots to F2P in a few weeks.
Servers shitting themselves again
>>559933016A baffling design decision. I wonder how many people have a key ready to go?
>>559933284Paul tassi got insider bungo info that says most of the players are on PC. Steam numbers are middling, but it's retaining players that it has. Therefore, moderate success. Would be a total and spectacular success for a smaller studio but Bungo is expensive and wasteful, and Sony invested billions into them.
Even the erp is gone, sell signal
>>559933409>A baffling design decision.not really, you need a key to go to labs in tarkov too
>>559933421>, but it's retaining players that it has>slowly losing players day by day>hasnt even been a week
>>559933290Fuck, i dont want no skins, i never subscribed for that.Sony shoud just give me back my credit so i can buy a game that want be le kill.Or they keep the servers up with a skelleton crew and left it paid.
>>559933550Yeah but Tarkov has like 10 other maps that aren't labs.
>>559933421>but it's retaining players that it hasWe went from 88k to 66k just the other day, we've already lost 25% and its only been like 4 fucking days.
>>559933016pretty sure the keys are for unlocking the actual cryo chambers which is why they have different numbers and 7 is the rarest. i assume you can load into cryo whenever but you can't actually do the endgame stuff without bringing a key
>>559933579The amount it's going down by is very small compared to an actual flop. The game has very solid retention so far and that's a great sign for the quality of the game. It's just that the market was never going to be large for this style of game and it was incredibly stupid of Bungo to spend 5 years of money to get what we got. They needed like 500k launch numbers with 250k retained.
>>559933636>We went from 88k to 66k just the other dayWhat an asinine thing to say, nigga one's sunday the other's monday are you daft?
>too much lag to play the gamesee you later
>>559933636The real story is 88k peak launch day with ~76k over the weekend, with a dip to 66k yesterday, the start of the week. This is very normal and I bet the population goes back up into the 70s this weekend.
>>559933796And? Our highest all time peak was a fucking thursday, it didn't reach a new highest peak on the weekend.
>>559933771>The amount it's going down by is very small compared to an actual flopFlop is a wide range, it doesn't have to have day 2 0 player dropoff for it to be considered a flop. By the end of the month this thing may very well have 30k players which is a big flop for a studio that is worth 4 billion plus whatever spent to develop this game. Yes congrats, it is not concord but still a flop.
new TTK spreadsheet dropped.much more reliable data.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uBZiShiWBBsAE3WK6W4IIti7-VPQEmMcV92ZONu_pY8
at least it isn't this
>>559934189>the Conquest is dogshitI knew it
>>559934209Oh fuck I forgot about that.
>>559934013I think it's gonna peak 51k today.
>>559934292it has faster ttk than most guns tho?
>>559934013It's not a flop because people are still playing it and liking it. But for the suits, absolutely. It absolutely spells the end for Bungie, and we will all have to wait and see if that means the end of Marathon as well, or if Sony will keep it alive on F2P life support. Bungie is 100% toasted though.
>>559934392Bungie's days were numbered before Marathon even came out: https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/sony-has-seen-enough-3-years-after-acquiring-bungie-sony-says-the-days-of-independence-are-over-and-its-future-is-to-become-part-of-playstation-studios/
>>559934375yeah because your enemy will die of dehydration before it ramps up
>>559934189>Overrun is actually pretty good, on the upper end of midI knew it, everyone shitting on it is just an aimlet.
Loaded in with a free kit, got ez loot and ez kills.2 kills on unaware players and 1 kill on an AFK player doesn't feel good.
so thats it, time for bed. had a lot of fun playing this evening. tomorrow, the blasting will continue.
>>559933543>my Thief blowjobs you
>exfil points move matter off-planetTO WHERE?Where are the cocoons? Was this explained somewhere and I'm just dumb?
>>559935014killing in this game doesn't feel good, you never outplay someoneonly outposition them
>>559934584well it literally sucks ass without attachments.add a recoil grip, recoil mag and an optic and it becomes quite useable.hipfire seems terrible tho
this is insane btw on thief your drone lasts like 2 minutes
>>559935186*you only get the drop on someone firstI just killed an unaware squad with a sniper with 3 shots that were pveingfreekit run, found the sniper on a mob
>Bungie Team doing nothing, waiting for players to unlock Cryo Archives
>>559935186Sometimes you have nice, sweaty gunfights. And sometimes you have big brain plays that turn the tables on someone, like leaving a line of claymores.But yeah I wanna say 90% of "encounters" are just someone got shot in the back or by a camper.
>>559935402I thought the ARG got solved alreadyDidn't Bungie already say Cryo Archives won't release until the end of March and to please pleaaase delay reviews?That shit probably isn't even finished yet.
>>559935183think there is a cyac/sekuguchi ship in orbit, as seen in the initial cinematic
femboy assassin
>>559935498All the sites cameras are stable, args done where's my pvp focused map fags
>>559935640too big for me
>>559934581shit ,it has a rampup? ggthe demolition is kinda sick but damn that firerate is punishing, miss one bullet and your dps is out the window
>>559930889i mean they kind of are though. tekken quite literally has a battle pass, premium currency, seasons, purchasable characters and outfits. Its incredibly live service right now plus the tekken team has like 800 people for development and probably half that for live ops. >>559931894as someone in the industry, median income at bungie is likely closer to 105k, looked it up just now and i was bang on, estimates sit at around 103k. makes a decent difference to the overall estimate, plus marathon likely cost less than people think, no campaign, no set pieces, limited marketing (i dont think it had tv spots or large internet spots, not that i saw anyhow)>>559931914Like I said above, I think Marathon's budget was much lower than people think
>>559935640wtf anon, spoiler that shit, the local tranny would jump if it see that.
>>559935640>he thought they'd actually unlock cryo archive>and it wasn't just some random countdown for nothing and Bungie will release it the 3rd week of march
>>559935678Perish>>559935737Don't care let em jump off a bridge.
>>559935325the drone is one of the coolest things ive seen in an extract shooter. the fact its a completely physical object you can grapple to and stand on is so stupid, its great
>>559935640perfect for my 8.3 inches
I've yet to have a single friendly interaction with another rook. All these fucks shoot on sight.
>>559935858I haven't played Thief yet, can you put explosives on it
>>559935186ive outplayed people plenty with thief's grapple and assassin's cloak
>>559935640killing myself for being born with 5 inches
>>559935938 yes you can put a claymore on the drone
Damn 2/3 in our squad just flat out disconnected without ability to reconnect the instant we engaged some other team.Is that some new exploit or just plain bungie quality? Lost my purple loot and shit
>>559932714>esrb rating awkwardly placed in a gameplay videoAbsolute viceral disgust.
https://x.com/i/status/2031402955178467395Uhhhhh did PC players win?
>>559936114incredibleI'll channel my inner jihadist and do MIDA contracts later
Why don’t vandal or recon have their dogs out when thief does it freely?
>>559936194Holy lmao. The shills saying PlayStation had triple the playerbase the last few days were obviously full of shit but it’s hilarious that most are on pc.
i haven't exfilled once in a solo gamesi suck at shooters though, don't know what did i expectmaybbe i should try group
>>559936381>High IQ game>Most players are on PC
>>559936418Solo you’re probably better off extracting last. Wait until all the sites are gone or at least the last two. If you don’t think you can do the guarded one wait until time runs out and you get 60 seconds to get to a random new one.
>>559936418We can run dous on Fortnite if you want.
>>559936418games not made for solos
>>559936418stop running around like a retard, play slow and quiet and ambush people who are running around like retards
>>559936418you have to play it VERY slowly, like a tactical stealth game, i play only solo and its far better than group imo once you get it down
I never seen a game with haters so desperate for it to fall since for honor
>>559936735For Honor was funny because I didn’t like it but then impulse bought it and adored it for 1v1s only
>>559936735>I never seen a game with haters so desperate for it to fallThats the Bungie Special Sauce factor
>>559936735kind of weird as to why
Is the game really not made for solos? I’ve only played solos so far. I thought it was pretty fun but sometimes a bit slow. I’ve gotten a decent amount of kills and extracts though. I kinda play it like I’m playing Metal Gear; moving through the map tactically and listening for nearby runners to murder.
>>559936925well poisoned, color bad now
>>559936194>All those people hoping for the game to die as soon as possibleThis is the part I don't get, what is it about Marathon that offends people this much that they are actively rooting for it to be sunset everyday?Is it because it dared defy the prophecy of concord trilogy? Is it because their culture war streamers told them it must?Is it because it threatens to take people away from the game they play? Or that it took developers away from the game they loved years ago?
>>559936948the game wasnt developed for solo play but imo it works, its just different. its mostly comfy with sudden bursts of high intensity/cat and mousetrios is a more consistent almost apex kind of feeling. i like both for different reasons
>>559936194there's more than one console. pc can have the most players of any individual platform without the non-pc total being small
>equip all my good items>queue up>black screen>quit and reconcect>black screenwell at least it's more efficient way of losing items than getting shot in the head from nowhere
>>559937009the game insulted me by not running perfectly
>>559937009A lot of jimmies rustled for different reasons each.
>>559936948I think most of the issues have to deal with most of the PvE/Map elements having been built with teams in mind (including UESC HP). I just hope Bungie continues tweaking the solo experience and gets duos out the door too, as trios are a pain in the ass with fill.
>>559937009ex-destiny fans want marathon to fail because they hate bungie for deleting paid content and want to see them diecurrent destiny fans want marathon to fail because they think bungie will go back to caring about destiny if it flopsculture warriors want marathon to fail because bright colors are LE WOKE
>I WILL queue in trios>I WILL use my free kit>my internet IS dogshit>my mic IS broken>I do NOT know how to play>there IS construction going on next to my house>my family WILL be interrupting me>you WILL carry me
>>559936735For honor more like FOR GONER
>>559937424can't wait for ranked
>>559937121That’s interesting. Maybe I’ll try some trios this evening. Hopefully the randos aren’t too annoying. >>559937249Yeah the UESC can be rough. That’s why I mostly try to sneak around them like Metal Gear. And take them out one by one if I can help it.
>>559937482how the fuck do you add ranks in an extraction shooter
>>559936418The problem with solos is no matter how good you think you are in pvp you can't outskill your way through getting shot in the back and the quickfire pvp encounters.
>>559936735Peoples biggest haters were once their biggest fans. Bungie has fucked a lot of their fans into the dirt and a lot of those fans want the same to happen to Bungie.
>>559937502>That’s why I mostly try to sneak around them like Metal Gear. And take them out one by one if I can help it.this is how you have to handle uesc solo, yeah. getting into a drawn-out firefight is a death sentence because even if you manage to kill them all every player within earshot will be on their way to kill youremember that your knife is op and can two-tap recruits without any upgrades, once you get the arachne upgrade it one-taps
>>559937424also my aim is shit and mum I mean my boss is asking me to come to work so we have to finish this quickly
It’s a mix of>Single player cult hate it for not being single player>Destiny players hate it for killing Destiny >Reddit hates it because it’s live service multiplayer >Chuds hate it because it doesn’t look like a military fps game and has trans art style >Old marathon fags hate it for being something not like marathon >Arc Raider newfags hate it for threatening their market share and calling out aggression based matchmaking Basically it pissed off every side imaginable
>>559937592With my headphones turned up, I’m never really getting shot in the back. I’ll still lose some gunfights obviously. But if you’re listening closely, people don’t get the drop on you that often.
>>559937736Last point is mostly a projection astroturfed by Bungie marketing.
>>559937736>>Arc Raider newfags hate it for threatening their market sharelol
>>559937736>Old marathon fags hate it for being something not like marathonI played Marathon 1 and 2 on my dad's Mac and I like this game
>>559936194>primarily played on PCgood, fuck autoaiming console subhumans
How long until the only posts about marathon are softcore porn
>>559937875there's aim assist on m+kb too btw
Move out Bungie, there is a new Rapist in town
It would have been silly to expect this game to resemble classic Marathon. Those games are awesome but they’re basically ancient egyptian hieroglyphics compared to modern FPS games.
>>559936194>the comments are full of dumb niggers complaining the game does not cater to console enoughkill yourselves
>>559937736>has trans art stylenigga we can't use colors anymore?
>>559937563Value-based. You bring in loot required to be a certain value and have to extract with a certain level of value above it.
>>559921943You will never be a woman.
>>559937009People see colors and non-standard character designs and assume it's woke or something idk. Colors = Woke now I guess.
>>559921943>>559922009I like it for NTR>omg miss you're dick is so much bigger than my boyfriends
>>559936194>his Bungie insiders>no proof what so everokay
>>559937989they don't have to make it exactly like the originals, anon, look at how doom 2016 preserved a lot of the dna of the og dooms while still feeling like a modern game. when people say they want it to be like classic marathon they literally just mean they want a high-budget linear sp fps that tells a story related to marathon
>>559913062Thanks for fixing the OP. And adding the cryoarchives explainer. You've got 1-hour, full-access coupon to a Vandal.
>Team gets into a fire fight>think i'm helping>friend get's downed >turn corner and start shooting the other teammate ressing him thinking he's looting>type MB.... i'll still never get over mistaking friendlies for enemies.
>>559938325>that tells a story related to marathonI mean, it already doesMarathon's worldbuilding and story was mainly told via terminals and messages, and this game also has a fuckton of them
Need me a Thief to fuck
>>559938030I mean I’m not saying it’s bad but chuds hate it for not being military adjacent
>>559931864>drinkable cheeseburgerJust wait until your intestines turn into ticks.
How do I get into trios as a Rook? Trio lobbies was all I got over the weekend and now it's just solo lobbies.

I like to imagine that her abdomen is modular, so she can turn herself into a sexbot.
>>559937736Chuds and lefties all share the same opinions but say it differently
Honestly for me the hate started when the astroturfing started on /v/, I was actually considering preordering beforehand but I just hate jewish tricks and being manipulated so I turned into a hater. Tried giving the game a chance in the slam and I didn't really have trouble but the game got boring after a few runs.
>>559938574Not sure if I’m misunderstanding you but Rook is solo only. You have to shell select another character
>>559937736>trans art styleGenuine mental retardation grievously afflicts whoever says that.

>>559938832toes make less sound or something, or someone had a foot fetish
Servers exploded again
>>559938441right, but those entries are all locked behind playing the extraction shooter, which is the part people don't like. plus, marathon used terminals to tell its story because voice acting or cinematics weren't really things back then; a modern singlplayer marathon would presumably have much higher presentation value (and nu-marathon being live service means its story can't ever fundamentally change the status quo)i like extraction shooters so it doesn't matter to me but i do get why people would be disappointed. i don't get why they'd start obsessively hating it and starting at steam charts all day instead of just moving on to other games they like, but that just seems to be the culture these days!
The only reason anybody would be taking screenshots of the population is to be annoying in this general or bait (you)s from people who like the game on twitter or whatever. So I can see how you could call that ‘unemployed behaviour.’
>>559938683Nah I was talking about the lobbies you get, solo and trios, thought I was getting into solo lobbies as a Rook cuz of all the lone players but they were probably people with dead teammates and other Rooks.
>>559939112It’s Tuesday and it’s steam
>>559938840>Nobody want to invest time on a game that would be potentially dead soon. That ceo can keep seething.Ah yes the game that senior designer is working on, totally dead with 70k on release and currently 29% positive reviews
she's so hot bros
>>559938994The art style wouldn't be tranny-coded if it was drawn by a straight man/woman? How? I thought the artstyle itself was inherently tranny?
>>559939112tuesday innit
>>559939193No I mean it literally dropped 30k and bounced back
The number posting will stop a little while after they layoff half the company.
>>559939252>so hotShe is just an actual asian plastic doll.
I dont hate the game, I've never even played itI just really hate bungie
>>559939361that's hot..
>steam is downFreak the fuck out and refund everything
>>559939361Exactly
Is the laying off of half the company in the room with us right now?
I’m sure Sony and Bungie care about the population but it’s not really my concern. It’s not like I’m a Sony shareholder.
>>559939361her being a plastic robot is the erotic part
Will the terminals be disabled after cryo archives goes up or are they going to be permanent?
>>559939196Everyone is playing on battle.net
>>559939276Steam typically performs weekly maintenance and server updates every Tuesday, usually starting around 3 PM to 6 PM Pacific Time (PST/PDT). During this time, the store, community features, or online gameplay may be briefly unavailable, with interruptions usually lasting less than an hour.
Are there any good YouTube channels for all the lore and ARGs? I like this game but there’s no way I’m gonna find all that stuff in-game on my own.
I’m pretty sure the runners were never human and are gaslit into believing so
>>559939276U some kinda retard or something
>>559939361Do you think the Shells fuck when they are out on Contracts? What the hell do they do when they are killing, dying, or being reborn? WHERE IS MY THIEFXUESC GANGBANG?!

>tox injector>knife hands>crouching tigerYep, NOW it's knifing time.
>>559939447No! You have to stop playing what you enjoy and play what's more popular instead! The gaming hivemind demands it!
Holy fuck thermal sights on dire marsh is just so retarded.How long will it take them to fix and balance all this shit...
>>559939629Any evidence for this or is it all vibes?
>>559939675Just got off the phone with Sekiguchi, the shells have no genitals, they lowballed the contract and send only the lowest grade clones for the job.
>>559939675Maybe they live inside a digital Club Penguin type situation. Like a virtual town where they all hangout before going out on runs.
>>559939702maybe you suck lil zoomer broand that's okay, go play your roblox
>>559939805They need to make them purple rarity, maybe even gold.
how many players per map in solo?
>>559939790Haha by God you’re right. What’s the most popular game? I guess it’s probably Fortnite? Maybe it’s time I finally get on the battle bus.
They updated the battlepasshttps://x.com/MarathonDevTeam/status/2031498746736132379
>>559939987Perimeter has at least 8 on solo. Dire Marsh is probably 12 and Outpost is probably 8-10.

>>559940081>Earned Arachne Shell Styles: Disciples of Arachne will soon be able to earn Arachne Shell Styles through the Codex as part of an upcoming update, also targeting mid-April to align with the middle of the season.Yesssssssss
>>559939840>Maybe they live inside a digital Club Penguin type situation. Like a virtual town where they all hangout before going out on runs.We know what runners are doing when not in a run, they're kept in a digital prison and shown those glitchy nature edits you see in-game when you queue, to keep their souls from disintegrating.They're basically wired with Agartha yakub vrill edits directly injected in their brainstem.
>>559940081I love how Bungie always goes desperate when people shit on them and start giving away shit they've had in storage for dripfeeding in future seasons.
Some of the cosmetics look cool but I’m not spending $10 on a skin lol. 90% of the time I don’t even care what I look like because I’m just playing the game. And some of the freebie shells are cool enough anyway.
>>559940081THATS more like it. 1 Shell style was a bit odd. 5 total (4 premium 1 free) sounds more like what you'd expect.Sounds like the game literally wasnt finished in time for release and they're still working on stuff they would have liked to have ready for release day. I thought early march was a bit earlier than I expected
>>559939813The early cg trailer has ONI give Vandal a picture of a child. ONI says the child was her when she was human, assassin later is given the same picture and is told was him

>>559940081>Hey Bungie can you raise the ttk? A lot of people are dropping the game over it, it's really not fun being instagibbed from miles away or from campers, it really hampers the experience>SKINS?

>>559940618>what's the point of customizationHow did you manage to not get filtered by this game?
>>559940398So many people misunderstand this scene.She gives the photo because it's the same person. It's the same "mind" piloting different shells.
how do rooks have the boomstick upgradd already
>>559940645Just pointing out that a significant amount of this game is just remodeling the same enemies and archetypes but then tossing a random buckets of paint at them and calling it good.
>>559940670>arachne>not a pvp'erGuess I'll just stick with the shop one
I’m about the last person to be a “you’re playing wrong” asshole but I’m not surprised if this is people’s first extraction outing and freaking out that it feels like it takes forever to make progress or they’re not getting anywhere. I was sessioning with two LFG randoms and they were so autistic about “I need all the salvage to level all the factions you guys” and just like “it’s bullshit there’s wipes and this doesn’t stay” not realizing they were basically taking the boring upgrades that don’t beef up their weapons and just constantly feeling like they gotta keep 6 factions at equal progress and level.
>>559940782Who the fuck is still talking about TTK at this point?
Bungie is absolutely fucking retarded if they don't balance this game and add content for casuals.
>>559940864if it's like the other faction skins you literally just have to exfil with their sponsored kit, no pvp required
They better fix Thermals before Night Marsh comes out or there will be some real issues.
>>559940782>keeps listing things literally nobody asked forKeep crying bitch, TTK is fine. You are the minority.
>>559939361you just said "she's hot" again but with more words
>>559940398>>559940319Ah fuck. There goes my Arachne!Thief domming NuCaloric!Thief fanfic.
>>559940782Higher TTK will just make it easier for runners to run away from engagements. I like the quick kills.
>>559940739YepWouldn't surprise me if these were planned to be the reward for the next 3 season
>>559940825no it's notvoid would've been given the same good luck charm if that was the case
>>559940995>>559940943>>559940903Whatever enjoy your game not surviving the 6th month mark I guess.
>>559940782i hope to god they dont listen to people like this asking for higher ttk. last thing i want is for every other fight to have the other person get away
>>559940806i love customization dude. its extremely limited in this game. give me a badge, a background, a title, an emblem, a frame.give me glove skins. give me knife skins.im tired of these shitty customization options.
>be in greenhouse roof where the key door is>hear movement below me and some uesc alerts>see a sin killing a recruit>he ducks down to loot something>scope in with my Volley Rifle>BRRAT BRRAT BRRAT>he's down>I boost dash off the roof and land gracefully like a cat due to my fall resistance upgrades>gut him like a fish>had fuck all on him
yea this game is gonna flop. arc raiders showed that most people prefer pve, not pvp.
>>559941145See you in 6 months faggot
>>559940782no one that is not dogshit and only running white shields wants a higher ttk
>>559940890>just constantly feeling like they gotta keep 6 factions at equal progress and level.You do if you're a Rookchad.The bigger problem is that people don't fucking read and don't realize that they can target which materials they go for, so they end up complaining "it's impossible to find Biomass" when one Rook run into Hauler can get them like 40 Biomass
>>559940081The fact they shit out these skins so fast is really really telling how low effort this trash is to make.They still need to fix the stickers and charms, also they need to fix how half the weapon skins in this battle pass don't fit the theme at all especially when all these new skins are also sticking to that black and white theme.
>>559941249>Clash of Clans showed that most people prefer brainrot phone gamesThis is how you sound right now
>>559940081>positive quick changes>people shitting on themwhats wrong with you ppl?
>>559941326They probably already had these skins in the pipeline they are just moving them up into the S1 pass.
>>559941375how is that equivalent at all
>>559941253can kill green shields with 2 melee attacks btw
>>559941376enjoy your goyslop anon
>>559941376Good things aren't allowed to happenThats bad.
>>559924845where you at? I sent an invite.
desmondpilak is live. the best tarkov pvp streamer is grinding marathon.
>>559941252Rightttttt>>559941376we want real changes to the game, not skin shit
>>559941578>israelholy fuark
corvon are you here? i added oyu but i always spam free kits solo.do you want to do sum
>>559941376Why be happy when you can be angry?Better to be pessimistic and right, than optimistic and wrong. These people have been deeply hurt and betrayed and their worldview shaped by these turncoats.
>>559941453don't get in melee range then
>>559938645ahh, my stirrup fetish...
>>559941578I haven't heard that name in ages
>>559941625You’re one of those guys who is gonna spend many hours arguing with anons in this general, aren’t you? Sorry Bungie doesn’t want to make your stupid changes bro.
>>559940081You DID use the glitch to max out the battle pass and cap your SILK, right anons?
https://x.com/DesmondPilak/status/2028444017818832987>>559941631hes american.
>>559941249>most peopleWhy should I change my tastes to match the majority of people again?
>>559940782They've had multiple playtests to dial in the TTK so you can keep crying now because this is what they settled on after months of live feedback
>>559938645Interesting they gave her stirrups never thought a robot could get that
>>559941904what glitch?
>>559940903probably arc raiders refugees. i remember the same complaints appearing in /arg/ even tho arc's ttk is fine
>>559941793hes not popular amongst gaming dads because hes justifiably miserable from playing tarkov so mcuh and keeps pointing out its flaws and hes also a skill gamer not an entertainer.
>>559942006If you bought the Deluxe Edition on launch day it would give you 200 SILK every single time you opened the game lmao
>>559942006at launch if you spent your silk, closed the game and reopened the game you'd have max silk again so you could finish the entire battle pass super quickly.
>>559942006glitch is another name for vandal
>>559941769>just never go inside a building bro
This is a pretty immersive game if you play solo and get really high to simulate the brain damage from repeated consciousness transfers upon death. I can feel myself becoming retarded. Future robot outer space retarded. But escape will still most likely make me god.
>>559940081so if they're caving this fact, how long until they make stickers/charms infinite use?
>Disciples of Arachne will soon be able to earn Arachne Shell Styles through the Codex as part of an upcoming update
>>559941901Sorry I know the idea of actually having to fight someone scares you but we're allowed to voice our opinion, arguments are a two way street you're free to keep quiet like the cuck you are
>>559942443>this factthis fast*
>>559942443stickers/charms arent...infinite use? what the fuck
>>559940081>we already made these skins which are just retextures>lol theyre come out in over month tho
>>559940931I hope so. I actually like triages ball zapper
>>559942505>we're allowed to voice our opinionThis should not be the case. I should not be made to read the stupid thoughts from inside your gay mind. Fuck my 4chungus life.
will i be successful reaching the loot room this time?
>>559942778redit is down the hall if you want a highly censored safe space
>>559942797>brrt smgngmi
>>559940081>these have been completed since past year and we were planning on these being the next 3 battlepass skins but we haven’t made enough money from Vandal playersLol
>>559942656You unlock one singular sticker and charm that you can put on one singular gun and one singular spot on the gun, if you want to put the weapon charm or sticker on a second gun you have to take it off the original gun.
>>559942896its good
>>559942656they're not consumable but you can only have them on as many guns as you have copies of the charms/stickers (which is why the battle pass gives away duplicate charms/stickers on different pages). if you reach the limit you have to take one off a gun to swap it over to a new gun
What's the latest on the ARG?
>>559942896happy now?
>>559943082idk im not a pve faggot
>>559942887No way! They’re even stupider over there they all post like you. 4chan is still the best choice even though they still let the riff raff in here unfortunately.
>>559942381Based
>>559942656>>559942443what are the pass stickers and charms like? i was not impressed by the ones i saw in the server slam or twitch rewards, i was expecting like a little sekgen wriggling worm charm or something fun or cute that stands out
>>559943082terminals are up on outpost, cryo unlocking soon
Jammers?
>>559943128you got it
>>559942896>fastest ttk of any non sniper/shotgun/railgun>bad
Welp a Republican in the White House, war in the the Middle East, playing a new Bungie game as my main thing, some things never change. Mission Accomplished.
Marathon maps ranked IN MY OPINION:1) Outpost - Beautifully designed, encapsulates everything great about this game2) Perimeter - best PvP + has the nicest map flow in terms of going point to point, lack of loot is its only issue3) Dire Marsh - not a fan, worst flow by far.
>>559940741Knife has stupid aim assist, you can just swipe in the smoke and it will turn your screen towards people
https://x.com/i/status/2031390616509165832Paul has confirmed that the main player base on Marathon is on fact PC.
>>559940081you can tell the most obnoxious faggots ever are going to be all over that assassin skin
>>559942656you have to swap them onto other equipment. you can still reuse them. it's dumb. don't know why they just didn't let you put them on everything.
>in hauler>assassin deploys smoke >just set up claymores in the smokes>free downsclaymores are my favorite explosive in the game
>>559943817That's me.
>>559941773>>559941974whoever gave her stirrups knows what they're doing..
Where do I find anything? Smokes? Claymores? Guns? Materials for upgrades? There ain’t shit around here man.
>>559943568Same, I hated Dire in the tests ages back, it still pisses me off now. There's some ok set pieces but not much in the way for good action. Either shoot somebody in a field like a Napoleonic war or Nuketown shit show in a usual questing hotspot. I'm not surprised dickheads just run thermals and roof camp
>>559943702there's no way that 50k players is their MAIN PLAYER BASEholy fuck
Me and who?
>>559944018I already said this and it was easily known. All you have to do is look at best sellers on PS and Xbox. Marathon is like number 18 on ps right now moving up from 21 at launch. It's been number 18 for a week. You can't find this slop on Xbox
>>559939805I've started packing jammers just for that.You can actually see the big orange glint of the thermal optic from afar - just pop a sig and dip
>>559943702Hopesissies in complete shambles and going the route of Datto, becoming a Korean woman. In all seriousness I can't imagine trying to sit on a couch and playing this
>>559943990Smokes and Claymores are pretty scarce from specific sources. (Just buy them from MIDA) You can sometimes find them in a variety of containers or Armslockers (much like Guns). Upgrade materials can be tracked so they show you with an eye icon where you can scavenge for them.
I WILL be filling with frees until one of you carries me through the seki intro quest
>>559944029Me (I’m wearing thigh-highs to hide my hairy legs)
>>559943702>chase Tarkov audience>Tarkov is pc only>get a pc only audienceHeh
>>559943702yeah we are screwed
>>559943990Depends what you need. Bog standard Unstable Metal, Biomass, Diode shit are all in named zones on Perimeter, Hauler has gun lockers with certain specific things. Perimeter generally speaking doesnt have much diversity Dire is where things start getting more involved, Outpost has tons of shit but obv it's a shitshow even coming in late on rook
Ok, fuck, i get to die is important in this game.But why do i have to get flashbombed every loadingscreen, with loading times up to 3 minutes?
>People are actually defending the TTK in this gameWhy are modern gamers so afraid of combat?
>>559943278nearly two weeks early?
>>559943702So Bungie is going to get one opportunity to restructure something to get players before the ship sinks. Are they betting it all on cryo?
>>559944141>5 second fucking prepping animation
>>559944529they said it would be the second half of march, we are 5 days away from that
>>559944516Because little johnny zoomer is a brain dead 20 year old who has never accounted for bullet velocity in their life or played anything with lower aim assist
>we go to hauler and die >we go to hauler and die >we go to hauler and die >we do their quests and then they ditch me to exfil 400m away while I try to get mineJust let me scan the plants...
>>559944561It's very likely adding these new skins is important for the free to play announcement in the next week or two if cryo doesn't bring the game back. If they released these skins and went f2p at the same time it would give huge negative backlash. but now at least they can argue the game is just not viable
Love ratting on MarathonLove /mg/Love bottlenecksLove Dire marshHate poopskinned people
>>559940081PLEASE PLAY THE GAME PLEASE DEAR GOD THERES A GUN TO MY HEAD HULTZ IS GOING TO PULL THE TRIGGER I HAVE A FAMILY.
>>559944516A lot of people who play genres like this don't want to actually fight people, they don't want skill being a huge part of what decides if they live or die, that's why they avoid competitive games that have even playing fields. They want to sit on a roof, or in a corner, and one tap someone passing by so they can get some dopamine.
>>559943496as expected
>>559944516People are constantly whining about it in this thread. So I guess it’s a bit polarizing. I think it feels fine. The higher ttk of a game like Halo is good too. But for this game I like the quicker kills.
>>559940081>improve the game>everyone angry>don't improve the game>everyone angrywhat do you retards even want them to do?
>>559944686>>559944561>>559943702So... instead of enabling PvE mode and adding skins and cryo archive, they just go either F2P or fuck it all and just go EOS? Are they genuinely retarded?
>>559945081skin shit is not really "improving the game"
>co-op game >nobody talks
>>559944516when you get shields of blue or purple quality its really not a problem
>>559945153it's one part of itpeople were not satisfied with the battle pass, they're adding more rewards to itobjective improvement on something people were critical ofi'm sure other changes will be made too
>>559944595Get behind cover anon, I shouldn't have to spell it out to you. Always move near cover.
>>559944994I honestly think the whole health system and TTK is just fine. The better shields do give you a noticeable boost in survivability, but won't make you a walking toilet of enemy bullets like in Apex. Comparing it to Halo too, the guns are noticeably more lethal and lots of the engagements in this game can be anywhere between CQC to 80> meters.
>>559944994I feel the opposite, a game like Halo where dying isn't a huge deal cause you just respawn and move on, you can afford a lower ttk, but in a game like this where dying can mean losing good loot or failing a quest and being forced back to the lobby, people deserve a fighting chance to survive and for fights to come down more to skill rather than "I saw you first, I won" or "I camped this spot for 10 minutes and you walked by, so I won"
>>559945109f2p may or may not come with a pve mode.
>>559945245they do shit like that so they can go>see were listening to your feedback!like they didn't just lowball people the most bullshit mtx options ever
>>559945408so what are they supposed to do, throw their hands up and double down?
>Well if you have the highest tier shields (ie something most of the playerbase won't have most of the time) the ttk is alrightKind of a retarded talking point
>>559945172I wish more shells looked like thief.
>>559945323Yeah I haven’t played Apex in a long time but I can remember some really spongy encounters.
>>559945479yes when you are low level (have weak gear) you are weak, ever played a game before?
>>559940903people who want the game to be more enjoyable to people outside sweaty camping rat faggots i guess
>>559945172>>559945503look at those DSLs
>>559945479Just ran into my second blue shield I've seen and he had a shotgun so it didn't even matter
>>559944529Ignore that retard, the terminals have all been cleared now but everyone's stuck on the next step as it requires some sort of password that Bungie doesn't seem to have revealed yet, or if they have it's very well hidden. Even after this step is cleared--and we have no idea how long that will take--there are still probably a bunch more steps to go.
>>559945371>a pve mode.Will ruin regular mode, because all average players and shitte-bad players will go there. Regular mode will become a sweatier tournament. Fuck PvE mode.
>>559945534The guns should be weaker too then but you can easily get a 1-2 shot weapon while only having green shields
Do I die when the final timer runs out even if I'm on an extract that isn't the final one that appears?Just died instantly without knowing why.
vandal and thief are NOT beating the blowjob queen allegations
>>559945478i dunno you guys and leddit keep sayin>hehe thats bungie for ya! the games perfect anyway im having a blast!
reminder that recon is best girl
>>559945109Here's my take: Short term (weeks)>f2p pivot>rotating roster of free shells + rook>pay 20 for full unlock of current roster>skin price drop and dump of all currently completed skins to the store >boost loot rarity and quant Mid term (months)>runner bots that shoot but don't loot>scramble to put aggression based MM in like ARC and heavily advertise it >balance PvE for solos >practice mode with only bots and no permanent rewardsLong term (End of year)>bots that loot and shoot >PvE mode added to coincide >can't share loot between PvE and PvP>placate the remaining audience with PvE mode events and boosts and let the PvP audience slowly die >add a mode to just run the raid with your friends Hard pivot into F2P has to happen soon or the game will not be financially viable.
>>559913062Niiice parody
>>559944516The ttk is absolutely fine you can usually cut LOS in time to not die with experience.
>>559945747>go los to heal>they rush and finish you off lol
>>559945747It's not fine
>>559945708whats up with that nose and lips? is she supose to be black? why would you make your shell look black?
Keep your headphones turned up, listen closely, move purposefully and tactically. You won’t get killed by campers very often. It’s not the TTKs fault you’re getting bopped because you’re sprinting around and neglecting to check your corners.
Campers would rather the game literally fucking die rather than raise the ttk and actually have to put in effort for kills, amazing.
>>559945884>I hear them sprinting over>I position myself appropriately>They eat my shotty to the face before they can reactGG
>>559946117>just use my insta i win gunlol
>>559943346theoretical dps. take into consideriation player health and damage per burst.>one burst in theory deals 55 dmg>that means you only need 3 bursts of bodyhits for a blue shield>but miss just 2 bullets and it goes down to 4 burstswithout knowing the delay between bursts, its impossible to tell the exact dps of the gun either. I guess the 5 bullets are fired at 1000 rpm, but you get like a 50ms delay between bursts.
Check those corners. And remember, switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading. Knife the watermelon.
>>559946070>Keep your headphones turned up, listen closely, move purposefully and tactically. You won’t get killed by campers very often You realize sitting in a corner causes no noise right...
>>559946175They shouldn't have pushed blindly :)
Honestly all of you faggots who don't wanna raise the ttk just want to play Rainbow Six Siege you just don't know it yet.
>>559946070>just avoid all sensory overload the game naturally throws at you and pay attention skill issue
>Just slowly crouch walk at all timesWow how fun, I wonder why the game's 24 hour peak is lowering with each passing day
>>559945740>financially viableThey still keep Destiny 1 servers up so idk about that
>>559946334Honestly all of you faggots who wanna raise the ttk just want to play Deadlock you just don't know it yet.
>>559941114Maybe they didn't show ONI giving void the same good luck charm :o
>>559946268That’s true. Move carefully!
>>559945109>why don't they just press the big "enable secret pve mode" button they have lying around? are they stupid?
honestly easy way to balance the game from the ground up is just make it so every gun that freekits can use cant kill you with a full mag dump, including the lmgor we can just blanket dump the ttk like we did last playtest adn be left with a broken mess of a game
>>559946378There's literally like three main UI elements in Marathon (health/shield, cooldowns, and weapons) idk what you're talking about.
>>559946378Disingenuous the UI is actually extremely clean.
Get TACTICAL, Marines!
>>559946456Deadlock is a moba like, a game with this amount of investment per match deserves a higher TTK for fights to not feel like bullshit, positioning and having the drop on someone is still an advantage but being able to react will in general lead to more interesting shootouts.
>>559945884claymores, running away (there are lots of hidden passageways nobody checks, like the underside of maintenance), chem nades, smokes.Just hide away and reset the fight.
>>559946664>>559946650>let me mention the UI and not the barf colors all over the screen where it's impossible to tell whos a person. ill win this argument!
>>559946742>investment per match>like 10 minutes of your time and a freekit
You can literally track someone to the room they're in just via audio if you have good headphones.
TTK complainers = mad cuz bad
>>559946449D1 is kept up as a courtesy since D2 maintains it, or at least did.
>>559946810>barf colorsNone of the characters really wear camouflage and players move incredibly distinctly compared to the bots
>>559946774yeah every fight begins with a bow and wave before the start. also i used a hologram and therefore your scenario was nullified. nice try faggot. i win. raise the ttk.
>>559946020this is why game games woke, you could make the shells look like anything but 2 of the 6 are just straight up black people.
TTK defenders = bad
>>559946810You're the one mentioning the UI elements + shells have good silhouettes. I've never failed to misidentify a shell.
>>559946449D1 still has a good grabbag of tards keeping the lights on who are fed up with d2
Getting a double blowjob from my Vandal and Thief right now
>>559946970*failed to identify
>just pay attention to your surroundings. its a skill issue. shoot them first before you. ttk is fine. shotgun is fine. the games perfectly balanced and works for me because im a rat faggot
>>559946378>>559946810So to clarify, by "sensory overload" you meant "colours"? What are you, a fucking ape?
>>559947142>coloursyou should ask grok for clarification if you dont know what sensory overload is before you engage in an argument. low ttk fags really are low iq dishonest little faggots
>>559945371If it goes F2P i will file a lawsuit against them.>>559945621>Regular mode will become a sweatier tournament. Fuck PvE modeThats because you know you will lose in regular to even sweatier tryhards than you.>>559945740>F2P F2P F2PRussian. Without a fail. You got tired of tarkov and want something new, except you want it for free. Summation of your nation's existence.>>559946573How hard is it to place a single/team of players into a map without any other players? Ofcourse they have that big fat button. They just dont want to use it for... whichever retarded reason they are thinking/imagining.
i think people are too hostile here
>>559945740>>scramble to put aggression based MM in like ARC and heavily advertise itI will reverse boost and always kill in that Matchmaking pool. I did this in Arc for 320 hours, I killed PvE players only
>>559947275So that's a yes on the ape question? Got it.
>>559947327welcome to how gen z talks to people
I am literally autistic and this game does not trigger sensory overload at all.
>>559947327While people may be hostile here, that doesnt erase or diminish the faults of the game and it's developers.
>low ttk is good because like uhg what if the other guy had more health he might be able to kill me! uhg its fine! it would actually be unfair if people didn't die so fast because im actually really bad.
>>559946097>Campers would rather the game literally fucking dieUnironically yes, keep the game perfect
>>559946950I'm just saying that its ugly to look at, all the shells should look like super models not because of gooners or what ever but because its human nature, every humanoid robot that we have made have always looked perfect.making one with big lips and ugly nose is just disingenuous.
This is the only extraction shooter that is interesting aside from Tarkov. I love how hardcore it is yet being accessible. They absolutely nailed both the PvE and PvP. People should shut the fuck up and try the game.
>>559947526The point is they're supposed to look somewhat inhuman.
>>559947408I am not autistic and it does - music, some visuals during loading screens - the eye-rape-blue and violet-rape-of-brain.
>>559947563You should make a youtube channel, you could probably get a marathon sponsorship since they just give it out to literally anybody.
>>559947563theres nothing hardcore about the game except you die quick and lose your shit. this game is piss baby half ass casual shit that doesn't know what it wants to bei blame esports nonsense
>>559947526You just want to goon to them. That is all there is to it.
>>559947706show vault to prove you are not larping (you are)
>page 7
>>559947605yet they looked unmistakingly black.

>>559947912This tbqh
>>559947863>larp destroyed instantlylol...
>>559947728do you think the jannies will do something about this shit? probably not...
>>559947563>nailed the PvE>enemies are bullet sponges that hit like a truck>their AI is so retarded you're better off just ignoring them>game is just a thinly veiled battle royale with hero shooter features for god knows why
>>559941376>If you pay us more money for a game you already bought we'll give a slightly better (but still worse then most of the industry) deal!Wow very cool.
Jannies... I kneel
Other thread got jannied solely because of that discord link?
>>559948056oh they actually did.jannies are alright sometimes.
Are you guys actually playing?I kind of want to play, but I don't want to PVP, at all.
>>559948510He swapped out some of the YouTube links again
>>559948510FNAF
Game isn't hardcore enough. All Shells not Rook should have to be looted first before use and you lose them like anything else.
>>559946020....what? I think you may be looking at her blue skin tone too much
>>559948583no he didnt>>559948510guess so but that makes no sense since its not against the rules + several other generals have discords in their OPs
>>559948643I wish I could akimbo
jannies hate yuri?
>>559948531the contracts are a bummer to do after realizing how often they force pvp. you can't really just focus on shit like that. the game literally wants you pvping as much as possible.
>>559948510it was made early, the youtube link took you to an 8 hour long fnaf video, the discord link, and avatar fagging.
>Janny deletes the thread>Doesnt say why>Now no one knows what to doonly the best from our staff
>>559948692I wish I could eat her pussy
>>559948761got it, I guess I'll save the money then.
>>559948531You can't play this game then, PvP is most of the game. You need to do PvP for missions too.
>>559948682yes you did stop lying faggot, the FNAF video was back in the OP guess you didn't get banned tho.
