>>560177135ok congrats on your haul but I consider that absolute shit.I rarely extract with less than 5k value
Erm your gold key?
If shells are bio synthesized, why stop at bipedal? Why not four? Why don’t we give ourselves extra eyes in the back? Why don’t we have another pair of arms?
>>560177436Arachne guy has 8
>>560177436Prolly some dumb eva shit about syncing with your shell meaning it needs to be human enough instead of ZA BEASTO
Where do you get the marathon key outside of looting it off other players? I actually have no idea.
PLEASE SAVE US PAUL TASSISAVE US MR TASSI
>Bungie asking reviewers to hold off on dropping their reviews until Cryo drops>Can only enter Cryo/Marathon/ 4th Map if you find a key card from special event bosses or locked rooms>Locked rooms can only be accessed by their own key cardsSurely this will go over smoothly with what little remains of the casuals/normies
>>560177463Arachne guy is also dissociated enough from xer xermanity to no longer develop counterproductive thought processes. He has developed in alien ways, but they do not go against his objectives.
Predictions on the next dogshit patch?
>>560177715Rent free, take your meds
>>560177671yeah good point. how are people supposed to review a game only accessible to like 5% of the people playin this shit?
>>560177816It’s going to give players the option of toggling PvP off :)
>>560177816This is Bungie soLowered audio but not to what it was originallyRemoved all UESC from mapsFaction contracts are now just Runner Kills and Collect 100 Boar TusksBroken Wing still closedNerfed Shotguns and Knives, maybe even the Bully SMG
>Love playing Marathon>Don't give a fuck how it dies>Don't want the game to changeFuck casuals, fuck SBMM, fuck aggro matchmaking
Thanks for signaling your presence. I will now insert random pronouns into my posts to trigger your Post-Transitional-Stress-Disorder and make you seethe like a Concordigger.The mentally stable will be able to parse and filter my posts, but you. Are going to have a bad day.
Wait so the game called marathon isnt even on the marathon and we aren't fighting any of the Pfor just some blade runners? And this is supposed to be a big hit???
>>560177671>haha guess you cant review the game fairly if you cant do it all nice try MARATHON IS THE GREATEST GAME FUCK THE HATERS>>560177331think its makin it even more aggro with rounds. ill use north relay as an example. we could hear gunshots there
Imagine being so contrarian and desperate for replies you defend video game “journalists”.
>>560178259fuckin auto postwe could hear gunshots only when we were just gettin into north relay from the east by those two rampsnow we can hear the gunshots from between north relay and station.i think it sucks. i can literally spider sense hear people in buildings and for some reason my recon squadmates footsteps are insanely fuckin loud
>>560178413She's had a few too many liquid cheeseburgers, okay?
>>560178408the bungie cocksuckers will cherry pick a grifting hag that clearly never plays shooters because she joined the steam chart bashing bandwagon.i do not expect someone lookin like her to really care for shooters in the first place. and this further proves how non casual friendly the game is.this further shows more defenses for the bungie cocksuckers with "you suck thats why you hate the game"
>Haven't played any runner other than Triage a single time since startingWho should I branch off to?
>>560178565Defending the game =/= being a bungie cocksucker. This game is great.
>>560176795Why would a shell need to eat, it's on batteries no?
>>560178679Destroyer.
>>560178178Based, brother, same.
>>560178679destroyer. then you realize you wish you were tirage again because no one else picked him and you're out of health packsthe destroyer jet boost is so fuckin good
>>560178413I think the obvious answer is they made it so the audio range of gunfire within each area of the map extend into the fringes of major POIs which happens to overlap with other POI fringes.
>>560177436In universe whenever human consciousness was first ripped out of a human body and just put into a machine, they would immediately do whatever they could to kill themselves or just enter brain death. This is because the human mind needs things to feel like you're still in a normal human body which is why the shells are basically just synthetic humans with organs and faces and lips and need to blink and all that kind of shit.
You either quickly die as an intense, good game, or get casualized, boring, and die later.
>>560179010Literally why are they doing everything in their power to turn the game into a pure BR
>>560179046Marathon will stand the test of time.
>>560177436>If shells are bio synthesized, why stop at bipedal?I would love to become a large dog, living with women
another successful free kit outpost run.
>>560178225there's a compiler on cryo archive
>>560178852>main triage>have to babysit the team>keep them stocked with med drones>destroyers stay closer to you like glue>tfw vandals and thieves are inept retards that fuck up
>>560179096not eenuff peeveepee in muh peeveepee game bungee!
>>560179369Did you killed someone or founded the backpack
>>560179394i wish nu-bungie didnt give everyone african facial bone structure but at least his voice actor is ok
>>560179507fought 3 teams in flight control for it, then entered the pinwheel and fought off a bunch of rooks
>>560179096>to turn the game into a pure BR>>560179412>not eenuff peeveepeeI think Bungie and Sony talked, agreed not to cope, and just tune the game for rushing players(teens and nerds). They will nerf gear, so that noobs an get kills via camping, and make the game free on PS Plus, Xbo and PC game pass

It has been an issue for years.
where exactly do the marathon keys drop from? I've heard world bosses but I can't do those solo..
>>560179623his voice actor is the guy who played gaz in the mw 2019 remake
>>560179816>the game for rushing players(teens and nerds)Why cope and rework missions, when you can just go with your flow. Be opposite of friendly
>>560179868i just meant his voice lines sounded ok
>>560179845Battle eye prevents cheaters, it was most likely lag
>see tips/guide from a "pro" player>look inside>invis shotgun assassin
So who is your favorite faction for items and quests and setting wise?I think its Nucaloric and MIDA for me.Got my first thermal weapon, ended up with 4 kills
>>560179845>>entered without opening doors or breaking windowsAre you sure he entered after you, and wasn't in there the whole time? I can wait 5 minutes camping without turning, no problem...Or maybe someone made a hole in the vent, before the two of you showed up?"Walk through wall without opening door" is a cheat I never heard of.
>>560180124I wanted matrix style punk for mida but they went with typical corpopunkslop
>>560180124>Got my first thermal weapon, ended up with 4 killsNice. I've never even held a thermal weapon.I kill players and steal some stuff, before the third party shoots me, in solo. I don't do quests.
>>560180124i kind of like the corpos MIDA just seems so stereotypical the way they're written, maybe they are expanded upon but right now they're just pic related
Just pulled off a 7k Rook run. Scooped a thermal sighted LMG and mowed down two assassins on exfil. Good times.
>>560177358does that actually have a use or can I just sell it?I mean that is at least two runs worth of shield gens
>>560180323MIDA being le epich anonym0us trollsters is funny though. I'm waiting for the mission update where you gotta rescue Bingus from UESC sec rooms or something.
>>560180240that would have been super cool, fancier hacker style but i still like their ost.>>560180273It's nothing special but first thermal, took it on a run and had no idea it was. Really useful, love how easy it's to kill with it. Vaulted until I have another. Do runs in outpost, people there are carrying some cool stuff.
Holy shit the M77 is even worse than the CyberAcme starting AR, uncontrollable recoil on top of low damage, I just dumped almost an entire clip into a void and he survived.
Why do you think Arc Raiders did so much better out the gate than this much cooler looking game by a dev with a great pedigree?
>>560180704It's more mainstream and Asmongold shilled it. There's not much more to it than that.
>>560180538>look it up on the TTK sheet>it literally only has a 0.1 better killtime with all headshots than the OverunWHY the actual fuck does this piece of junk sell for 1.2k credits and cost almost thrice that?
>>560180538I've been owning with the M77 in mid-range with the scope
>>560180704It being 3rd person makes it inherently more casual and approachable to dad gamers.
How do I, as a console player, compete with PC movement and aiming tech?
Knife nerfs when?
>2-tap snipers>2-tap fast shotgun>invis corner camping assassinsI like the game but this meta is gay as fuck
>>560180124I like Nona for the horror vibes. But I wouldn’t want to join her. I would probably join Tracy’s.
>>560180704Timing. Marathon would have exploded 4 years ago, but gaming has experienced a massive shift from getting good to putting systems in place that make casuals feel like they're good.
>>560180345Not until the cryo map unlocks. Crazy how it took 4 maps to actually get on the marathon
>>560180160You've never heard of noclip?Also, he had signal jammer on, i would've heard him use it if he was inside.>>560180028Picrel.---I had this happen to me two more times.>sit tight in a corner after meleeing some ticks in the wall>all quiet except for noises that someone is fighting someone>10 min in>someone runs straight to me>crawls up the ladder>i tab back into the game and pop invis but its too late>its 'sassLike, its not exactly a popular area unless you have a key, and i am in the fucking corner and no TAD pinged me.

Im gonna call it in for the night, and i am sure as hell Battle Eye has been had.
>>560181102wait till you see the tryhard meta.>destroyer with cores and shield lmg>triage with volt guns and complimentary chip mods, EMPing you on shield crack>recon or thief to spot anyone
>>560180487>Do runs in outpost, people there are carrying some cool stuff.Yea, and most of the time they're better at the game, than players on other maps. I've killed them, but I don't have time to loot them, gotta get away, because someone else is zipping towards the gunfire
>>560180965aim assist plays the game for you
>user reviewsGood.>game """""journalist"""" reviews Good.>sales?????Marathon is in such a weird position. If it didn't have a AAA budget, it would be a huge critical success.
The amount of solo assassins preying on rooks on outpost has skyrocketed.
>people dropping the game like flies cause the ttk is objectively just not fun bravo bungie, hope it was worth throwing your 6 year project away over
The only time Marathon made me upset, could not finish the needful, to delete a player's loot. Sucked us away too fast...
>>560181803this isn't arc raiders homie, if you dont' like it you can leave!
the game is too punishing for shitters
>>560177313I'm kinda curious when the OG runners will return
>>560181803I'm afraid higher TTK would put more pressure into wasting already scarce healing items and make third partying worse since engagements take longer
>have to do all the quests again in 3 months
The lads did it.
There's currently only 1 (one) good way into pinwheel, and apparently NO ONE even wants to START a list of conveyance request spawn locations?
thiefs with the deluxe edition skin might be the dumbest motherfuckers in this game, i've never been killed by one but i've finished off so many of them the image is burnt into my mind
>>560182050adding an extra second or two so people can actually react and like, you know, have an actual fight rather then "I saw you first, I win" wouldnt make any of that much worse, it would certainly burn people out less cause they feel like they can actually play the game
>>560181573No you see it's totally normal that this game which is discussed positively by every single actual person you can see to be constantly slandered and forced into being a flop!Major gaming companies make heavy use of astroturf marketing to shill their games and we all know it. They do this because it costs absolutely fuck all and demonstrably works. If they're doing that, why would they not ALSO pay to negatively affect the opinion of their competitors and Marathon was a blatant victim of this. There's a reason every single GAAS game for the past few years has had a major hate campaign whether they're genuine pure corpo slop or something interesting and risky like Marathon. It seems retarded and schizo but if they aren't doing it, why not? It can't basically lead back to them the way shilling their own games can, it reduces potential competition, and it uses firms and systems they already have set up for positive marketing.
>>560182073you have to do all the quests AGAIN??
>>560180124NuCal is actually surprisingly focused on the colony itself compared to everyone else which I like. I hope Gaius doesn't turn out to be a total asshole because he's kind of charming.
>>560182113there is literally 2 ways and you can get in within like 2 minutes from either.
>>560181803>cause the ttk is objectively just not funIt's not just TTK, it's also fear of other players. You can sit in a corner all game, try to shoot someone in the back, and lose, because you're scared.Scared = practiced less
>>560182152The reacting part is good, but then the game turns into a healing simulator like apex, which I'm personally not a fan of
EMP grenades count for this annoying Marathon task requirement BTW. Throw it into a bot reinforcement drop and it stacks A TON of points.
>>560182152>No response, no engagement, just restating the point you're trying to force throughHmmmmm
>>560182267roller ni-
>>560182152>adding an extra second or two so people can actually react>>560182267Mhm mhm
>>560182168It's because online people are stupid and rag on anything to get pennies like big culture war retard accounts whether it's Harry Potter or MarathonIt's annoying when you see artists weave in political garbage and whining about gender into their timeline when you just want to see tits or cool art
hmm I missed the launch and im already behindmight just wait till its f2p on reset in 3 months
Anyone else DCing a lot at start of match?
>>560181803I think they are just trying to piss the game away. Like, a deliberate damage.
I made a thing and before you ask: yes, graphic design is my passion!
>>560181102You better start learning red minigame, buddy.
Ok I really enjoy using the V75 Scar, but I just made one of these MFs and with an extended mag it absolutely SHREDS gamers holy shit.it's a 7k craft off the battle pass thingy (the free side) but my GOD it's fun.
>player count is dropping because of the ttkyou are a dumb, unskilled, disingenuine casual nigger.
>>560182420Broad trends in social media are almost never natural these days. This isn't just a videogame thing. People aren't just "stupid", they're being fed information and led down a path. It's literally a giant system which controls the information that people even intake.
>>560182506>red minigamewhat dat?
>>560182376gGeRrr
The selection wheels in this game are really uncomfortable. It's difficult to select the corner items.
One of my buddies finally caved and downloaded Marathon on PS5, and can’t even get into the game because this message pops up. He’s tried restarting router, uninstalling/reinstalling, but nothing. Anyone familiar with a potential fix?
>>560182220Hm, do I go in through the way that's dependent on you finding things, then battling through a gorillion bots, and then alerting anyone still alive that they might be able to get the drop on you looting if the fighting somehow didn't already, or go do the way that MIGHT alert others, doesn't need you to fight a bunch of bots, effectively locks the door behind you, and just needs you to run around the map for some spots, which you should be doing anyways for the gigachest inside?
>>560176795>StrawsI thought you put your lips on the mouthpiece.
>>560182754much like regular cups straws are optional
>>560182669Don't you have to pay extra shekels to play online on console?
>>560182728im sure youll figure it out anon. i soloq enter the pinwheel with 2 lobotomized freekitters all the time
>>560182754part 2 was good cope
>Rats would rather keep the near-instant ttk and let the game die This is why you never cater to PvPfags, they literally do not care about any game, they will just dick hop from one game to the next as they ruin them.Well you know except the PvP games that are properly balanced where you can't beat someone just by camping or having better stuff, like you know actual competitive games, they avoid those like the plague.
Gaius is a bro compared to everyone else. I'm surprised the slop manufacturer is actually concerned with what happened to the colony beyond 'muh uesc' like everyone else seems to be occupied with
100k this weekend, trust.
>>560183195Of course he is.How else can he reverse engineer it?
More like miga
>>560179024Interesting, is there a codex for this?
>>560183152the game was not designed for you, move on and go back to your jrpg generals
>>560183152Game is doing fine
>>560183348it objectively is not doing fine
>>560183152Low TTK also means you have a decent chance if youre up against gold shields. When the early test was going on, TTK was higher and everyone hated how people were dodging out of 1v3s despite being caught out in the open.
>>560182198yes very fun
>>560183195NuCal is like the least disingenuous corp in the game canonically, even the stuff with the drinkable burger lore is colonists fucking with the composition of it to stretch their resources because the standard guidelines for it would make them run out too quickly.
>>560183152>you can't beat someone just by having better stuffyou do not understand that lower TTK makes it easier for your grey ass freekit to down a purple runner?
>nucal propaganda “No!”
>Finally get my friends to play since solo's is unbearably boring and unfun>We get instagibbed by snipers>"can we play deadlock instead?">they both hop off
>>560183152>camping or having better stuffSo like every extraction shooter?
>>560183152>PvP games that are properly balanced where you can't win just by campingEvery PvP focused game can be cheesed with low effort ambushes.Except Apex, you will need to put in medium effort.
consoleshitter gameplay makes me want to throw up srsly
You guys think NuCal absorbed Red Baron pizza and still produce it under one of their corporate arms?
>>560183550This looks so much more fun than marathon
So since the Pfhor already have simulacrum tech does that mean we are going to get pfhor runners?
It’s obvious I know but I’m shocked how much I stagnated at 20k playing in a squad of randoms. I could not bring my vault up. So I started playing rook today and I’m at 60k. This is shocking.
>>560183381It has a decent player count in the grand scheme of things, but the issue is that "decent" isn't enough for Sony.
>>560183550>apex>when the meta a few season ago is akimbo p2020/mozambique that down people instantly >and the other season meta is a fuckload of shield spamming because ttk is so fucked
>>560183152just say you got filtered lmao
>>560183698Yeah I'm much profitable as a solo compared to having 2 freekitting parasites making noise everywhere I go and heading to guarder exfil when their backpack is full of unstable biomass and chitin samples
>>560183709then why haven't they shut down destiny 1 and 2
lost my first shell ten hours in because i thought a random dude staring at me from a window was friendly and not scouting for his friends to flank usclassic kabul moment...
>>560183534I love the eyes-closed smile poster
>>560183848They will when bungie is dissolved
>die as room>have to hit the spacebar a dozen times to get back in gameWhat annoying UI
>>560184149Room is my favorite shell>Sit and wait for sneaky thief players>Trap them in gay baby jail after they enter me
>>560183152Be thankful. Thanks to them another company long overdue for shutdown will get what they deserve.
>>560180096ITS ALL SHOTGUNS AND SNIPERSif its not a sniper its something accompanied by a shotgunshits so fuckin gay
>>560184226For me it's Death Bed, the Bed That Eats
>>560184036>when bungie is dissolvedNot happening until Sony gets 1(one) exclusive for PS6(Six) with Bungie's logo on it.Sony is doing exclusives againhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-04/sony-pulls-back-from-playstation-games-on-pc
>>560182152avoid the responses like that anon. they tend to act like they dont benefit from not dying fast either, funny enough
The only thing that will save Bungie and therefore the future of Marathon will be heavy layoffs to cover the money this game has no chance of making back.
>>560184302i dont think you want the alternative being they bring back whatever linear fusions or bows were in d2 pvpsame exact shit then turned the sandbox to all hell the moment felwinters/aggressive shotguns lost quickdraw and further neutered the sandbox with airborne effectiveness
>>560184436layoffs don't make money retard
>>560183550damn when can i prone in marathon?
I'm seeing a lot of people making Marathon OC's on twitter, really nice
>>560183693would be kino but I highly doubt, maybe next year they'll start adding classic 'thon stuff if the games survives these next month.
>>560184436They really should. Lowballing the salaries of 850 employees in Bellevue is 120 mil a year
>>560184459id rather there be a linear slope going on here. right now its spray guns->one/two taps
>>560184149>>die as room>>560184226>my favorite shell
>>560184497Must be hard being a stupid nigger.
>>560184548anime fags are not allowed here
If Bungie does run into financial troubles with Marathon, can't they do a patreon or indiegogo to help them recover their losses and continue game development?
I'm still of the opinion of bringing item insuring into the game
>>560184672/vg/ is gacha central so yes it does
>>560184660What I'm saying is that laying people off won't make an inherently unprofitable product more profitable
whats the next patch going to be where they pretty make it more obvious it should be a BR instead of an extraction shooter? cheaper westers?
>>560184687>item insuring into the gameI understand that you care about an item, you probably grinded for.But the only item you actually "need", is a sponsored kit(free). You can use that to taking anything, from anyone...
>>560184725yeah but gacha is low quality slop, while Marathon is slightly higher quality slop.Get it right.
Love losing my destroyer build because some niggers need to fight bots off round start and get immediately 3rd partied

>>560184990yeah thats going into the controversial bin, fellow redditor.we dont talk about balance, we say everything is working fine, it gets better after 20 hours, and get good.
>>560184990TASTEU MY BURADE
>>560184990Why even bother looting or taking weapons? Just buy a couple simple healing items and run at people with your knife.
>>560185115i don't have any problem with knives being threatening up close
>>560185195thats how i feel after 20+ hours playin, why bother using anything but a mobile shell with a shotgun and something for long range shots.get someone out in the open and then get someone in an instant inside. wheres the fun?
>marathon still $40thought it failed?what happened to that narrative lmao
>Check the subreddit for Marathon.>Multiple posts complaining about how the Audio update completely changed the game's pacing>Now almost every match is just a Battle Royale where 4-6 teams all meet at the first sound of gunfire and the last one standing calmly extracts with all the gear and no real threat.
>>560185115if you nerf the knife it becomes fucking useless, its in a good spot right now
>>560185195>healing itemsYou don't even need those, just go in naked and rush a poi. You'll hit someone.
>>560185280idk why bungie thought this game would have wide appealwhat you described is fun for pvptards who like stomping pvetards
>>560185370and that's a good thing. the game was boring as fuck before
I think I'm getting burnt out now. 50 hours in and it has been a while since I've had fun. This game is cool and doesn't deserve the hate but I don't think it's going to survive as a sweaty trios game.
>>560185370Bungie obviously wants that1 Team gets to advance5 Teams have to start their progress over and it counts as playtime and "fun progression"
>>560185370i don't like the audio change and I don't like the UESC change
So which gun is the good one?
>>560185601You're not the target audience so sadly, you have to just accept it bro.
>>560185702you want the longshot and werster. that will be your endgameeverything is just there to get you to those two.
>>560185713i don't really think reddit likes it either tbf
>>560185601I didn't like how they upped the player count per map since server slam
>>560185749> wersterwho
>>560184841I mean mostly for class cores, didn't specify properly
>>560185778Shit...you're right...Who the fuck IS the target audience?
Explain to me why Thief can just buy a 300 credits claymore and turn her drone from a harassment tool to the best offensive ability in the game.

>>560185921because it's an exploit
>>560185930 Right. Double barrel. Gotcha.
Why does Destroyer have the same amount of HP as all the other shells
>>560184990>Game initial turn out wasn't very good>Bleeding players daily>People still absolutely refuse to acknowledge there are flaws in the balanceIt's a real shame this game simply can't catch a break, being destroyed from both the outside and in.
>>560185884whatever can get the streamers to buy into the game. hence all the changes makin since to appeal to the crowd that would watch someone playwhat sounds more fun to a 18 year old? someone walkin around collecting loot, or someone droppin in as a thief who can strap claymores to drone and gettin clutch 1v3 in the first 3 minutes thanks to spawns, pois being clumped along with being able to hear bullets from across the map?
>>560186006>danganronpa picdidn't read the rest
>>560186037>Ummm ackshully the already low player numbers decreasing steadily everyday doesn't matter.
The repeater might just be the worst weapon in the game. Everyone is shitting on magnum but I can actually get a kill with that if I catch someone off guard. The repeater is just awful.
>>560186037There's massive glaring flaws in the balance, personally they should've sold this as an early access title even with sony's backing. The potential is there it's just it still has a lot of destiny issues under the surface
>>560186106?
>>560183550>>560184520>damn when can i prone in marathon?I Marathon had prone, I'd use Assassin, and lay in open doors.>hear footsteps>go invisible>dude doesn't understand why he can't just walk in>i'm on the floor point blank>already knifing him
If I want to just knife people solo what's the best shell?
>>560186232Destroyer since you can strafe
>>560186194jesus calm the fuck down terantino
>>560186037Nah man a couple of guns and knives being able to kill people faster than they can react someone is even attacking them is a good thing, look here's a clip of a bad player reacting poorly even when they didn't instantly die, that proves that the low ttk is irrelevant, I definitely don't want this game to be dead by the end of the month
>>560186232>If I want to just knife people soloAssassin and Recon>Why ReconYou can distract someone with the Spider, and if the Spider hits him, he can't sprint

>>560186232Destroyer>Highest base melee damage in the game>can boost into people>shield for pushing
>>560186303>bad players are bad???
we should also never have proper weapon balance or a firing range.
please dont rape the new players in perimeter
Not gonna lie I spend a lot of time defending the game publicly but I'm playing it less and less every day because it's just not fun being one shot constantly. If it wasn't for the art style I would have dropped it already.
i love doing sponsor kits squad fill in perimeter and gettin claymore droned and shotgunned in smoke by assassinsbravo bungle
>>560186493Same. I'm no longer having a blast
>>560185884I'm probably going to get a lot of shit for this but increasing the range of sound definitely benefits streamers the most.Marathon is a very boring game to stream when you're just running around killing NPCs and getting loot. When the burnt peanut was playing marathon, when he was engaging in firefights, people really liked to watch it. It's when he started to just kill NPCs and gather loot, people thought it was really boring. Tim the tatman also has this issue too when he streams Marathon.The increase in the range on gunfire sound allows streamers to engage in more frequent firefights with other players making for a much more entertaining stream.
game's kinda made for stacks i fearbtw destroyer is the best shell in the game between mobility and being able to safely push/check angles/escape with shield, nuts that people didn't like him at first
Overrun or M77?
>>560186627>Game is made for stacks>But trying to find two+ friends to consistently play with is hard because so few people are playing and the people who do play get burnt out after 1 or 2 matches of getting killed with no recourse cause the enemy's gun one shot them
>>560182353Vandal counts too btwIt's super easy with her
>>560186627It's really not unless you're a low effort player. LL
>>560186493Maybe try and take a more casual approach to it? I see you're still missing seven achievements, why not try and aim for those and make it your goal?
This game only seems like it would be fun if you only exist to make other people's life's miserable.>Play Thief and literally never fight people. Just be a faggot with the drone and never pick up anything.>Play Assassin and just hard camp an exfil while doing something on your secondary monitor. If you hear footsteps tab back in and stab them in the back
BUNGIE please make the audio louder. In fact just ping me every time I shootLiterally shoot an exfil beam out of my head whenever I sprint. If I open a door Oni should have a global dialogue line and a blue event symbol appears for everyone at that doorI don’t want to have to run around looking for PvP I want my loot delivered to me Uber Eats style
>>560186809had my friend get nuked by a claymore thief drone earlier. they didn't even show up at any point they just did it for the love of the game
>>560186738Those are just grind achievements.There's no taking a casual approach to this game otherwise you're just not going to be playing.
>>560186693erm your chinese spyware furry pedo honeypot app sir?
>>560186440I reverse boosted in Arc, got PvE focused lobbies every day, killed friendly players all day, every day.I will reverse boost in Marathon, and kill noobier noobs. If Bungie explains matchmaking.
Are there any good guns that use heavy rounds?
On runner kills, I always see the random teammates running up to bags and immediately loot everything. Even mid pvp.Coming from other extraction shooters, it’s usually if you get the knock/kill then you should get first dibs. This game has a bunch of goblins for sure.Thoughts?
>friend keeps destroyer sprinting ahead blindly, in a direct line toward every objective we need to do>even bumbling directly into other teams and getting us wiped and then complaining about it>when we do extract, he regularly has the most extracted value BY FAR>(because he always greedily hoovers everything from corpses and POIs immediately)>only pings whatever scraps he leaves behind>his vault is constantly overflowing even with the level 4 upgrade, from "cores he'll never use" (his words)>"can you bring me a shield? I have 600 credits :(">I do anyway>he loots a blue shield out from under me from a commanderI keep having to play babysitter (triage) and I'm getting sick of it but every gentle tip I give when he complains ("yeah man getting caught out in the open in marsh really sucks, maybe next time we stuck to the buildings more and look ahead before we start running") falls on deaf ears.The thing that pisses me off the most is he'll only very rarely say he fucked up. If you're going to go unga bunga retard mode you need to at least be ready to say "my bad" when shit goes wrong because of it. He doesn't even win fights most of the time.What do i fucking DO
please keep patching the game to appeal to the streamers! it is definitely makin the game so FUN to play as a casual player!
>>560187003the loot goblins in my squads always get us killedthey rush pois and sprint everywhere, opening every door, killing every robot, then they are already on the other end of the area and get picked off by a squad due to all the noiseits even worse now due to the sound changes
>>560186693Don't forget campers, we're also doing very good filtering.
>>560186972>good guns that use heavy rounds?Bully SMG, the cheapest one. It's very strong
>>560187003Yeah what >>560187294 said, my destiny-addicted friend causes our losses more often than not
yo im starting to get bored of battle royale sweatfests of two teams rushing in whenever theres gunshots, nevermind that ive lost all my weaponsalso reconfags instantly disconnect hahahi might not be having fun anymore
>>560186440That’s not true at all. I see blue shields and free kits mixed together in a mosh pit
Solo q teammates are so bad you cant even third party with them
>>560186972Repeater or whatever the lever-action is called. Very good outside of shotgun range if you can aim.
>>560187504they could have been a drop from a commander or whatever.ive only seen purple gun mods on perimeter though
>>560186884By November of this year, all that will be true along with the number of players on outpost being increased to 60
Do I >free kit>gamble a full blue kit> ignore squads and keep being a rook?
>>560187509>free kit grey>theres an ammo crate here! obligatory ping if theyre the high tier ones>vandal or triage who never drop their drone>never go where you want them to>ignore all pings>loot when fightingThese people are fucking garbage
>Thief drone can steal from you even when Exfil locked in the final stages.Lol
Imagine if they did something that was really standard for all online games and made a ranked and non-ranked mode, that would have definitely helped with the game being such a sweatfest...oh well
>>560187493>i might not be having fun anymoreBye Felicia
>>560187756>a ranked and non-ranked modeRanked tryhards would go to non-ranked.If restricted with an algorithm, they well reverse boost for shitty recent stats, and go stomp casuals.This is happening to Black Ops 7, every Call of Duty community is crying about sweatfests, because matchmaking gets abused.
>>560187656I just had 2 thieves on outpost with one in Grey
>>560187603>been enjoying triage>zapped multiple runners with the electrical gesture>found 4 br33 schema's on perimeter on a rook>br33 just melts fuckers shields be damned>also learned there's silencers for the volt guns
so i played the slam, a week later after release. How is it? worth getting?
>>560187923It would still reduce the number of sweats in normal
>>560187738this should be like a top priority fix and its so funny how much reddit brushes this shit off because they are still so far up their own ass fighting some "I LOVE THE GAME SCREW HATERS" war still
fuck lootfuck extractingwe're just killing niggas
>>560187973>It would still reduce the number of sweats in normalYou're right
>>560187962Do you enjoy crouch walking for 20 minutes straight to avoid being instantly killed? If your answer is no, then my answer to you is no.
>>560187975that clip of a drone stealing the marathon access card on reddit is funny
>>560188059guess nothing changed from the slam
I really really want to like this game but it is honestly so fucking unfun which honestly really sucks. It just does not feel good emptying a full load into someone just for them to turn around and one shot you because they have better gear. It does not feel good because killed in 1-2 knife stabs cause some guy was sitting in a corner waiting for me. It does not feel good getting one shot by a sniper because I made the mistake of leaving a building.
>>560188091Lol. The only reason I support this, is because I hate the Arc raiders PvE community.Any sign of PvE, I kill the player and help UESC
>>560187962It’s very good if you like this type of game. I wanted to like Tarkov but didn’t. I’m really happy overall. But the population is concerning. It’s on a steady decline. Most studios would kill for this size playerbase, but Bungie has a lot of costs for being a huge studio and was just bought for a big price. So there could be a radical restructure if it doesn’t increase or even just hold the current numbers. My advice? It’s probably smart to just wait and see. The prevailing theory is that it will go f2p before long.
>>560188186same i like a lot about it. Its just not for me in the end
>>560188186play perimeter more, honest to god just wait a bit for the ranked to come into play and most will dip into that.
>>560188186im into the game. i like everything about it except the balance. everything works but its insanely unbalanced and the longer it takes to fix it the less likely ill want to play itwhat compounds the issue is people are going to keep grinding, making a huge gap if you are even going to bother.like week 1 people already wearing gold gear and farming casuals. how the fuck are you supposed to enjoy anything at that point? its just going to snowball where it cannabalizes the community and its just going to be sweats vs sweats, which will give up and/or make smurfs themselves
>>560188186It feels good to ambush someone.It feels good to backstab someone.It feels good to snipe someone, who dared to exit a building.It feels good to crouch walk and wait
i called this before release that people would get bored of outpost really quickly and thats exactly what happened. And thats going to be the game for an entire year
>>560188384Serious question: what will be the incentive for sweats to play rank? Is there better loot?
Please stop getting murdered by snipers
>Game flops and is limping along steadily losing steam.>Bungie drops the "Audio update" and its the equivalent of them taking a bat to the already hobbling cripple.Truly exceptional work.
>>560188491think it has the ante systemput in loot to lose the better the reward will be if you win
>>560188186i just prefer arc raiders way more, its actually fun as a pvpve extraction shooter.i'd like marathon a lot more if it was just a normal shooter and not an extraction shooter, all the extraction shooter parts just make the game way way worse and just not any fun.
it is downright funny how obvious it is that it's just the same like 2-3 people spamming the thread with the same negative talking points over and over and over and over and over and over and over
>>560188186The game is simply too punishing, it's not "hard", Deadlock is a game I would consider hard, Deadlock has a lot of depth to it and it will take dozens upon dozens of hours to get a mechanical feel for playing it and processing all the information it has (map objectives, items, hero abilities, etc). Marathon on the other hand you can pick up quick, there isn't a lot of info to swallow but the slightest mistakes will result in you instantly dying, which for a game like this is just very conductive to having a playerbase, it's literally designed, intentionally or not, to burn people out except for the rattiest of rats. Deadlock actually rewards you for taking the time to learn it, Marathon simply doesn't.
>>560188491>incentive for sweats to play rank?Flashy God skins, weapon camos.Ultra rare stuff for the top 250 players
>>560188593may i suggest reddit
>>560188521they really fucked up from the playtest>server slam>lower ttkgreat now casuals will get melted>dont fix the weapon balanceguns already melt, now the ones that melt the fastest are the only thing being used>make pve bots even weakergreat okay you can kill them faster, they are just noisemakers to alert everyone>make sound loud as fuck nowgreat so now thanks to the above, half the map can hear youwhat is next? guns in the shop are cheaper so people can keep buyin shotgun/snipers/claymores as they all roll around with drone claymores and shotgun smoking assassins
>>560188310>f2pI'd stop playing if it went f2p because f2p shitters are the worst
Im fucking stupidi spawned as rook and got to pinwheel so quietly, team even left traps. they died in the room with the robots, blue and white room deep into pinwheelI was so full of loot and i killed myself with a grenade by mistake
>>560188593yeah you'd think that but the stats don't lie the game is bleeding players literally every single day, we have not had a single day of growth or even stability, and a lot of people don't want to leave the game, they want to stick around, so they're going to voice their concerns in hopes eventually something will click
>>560188310>f2pThat won't work unless Bungie starts selling map packs
>>560188647>you don't like me using the thread as my schizophrenic playing ground because anonymity means I can moan as much as I want and people won't call me out for flooding? erm, reddit's over there, buddy
>>560188745maybe discord?
>>560188617>rattiest of ratsIt's called playing cautiously. Deadlock also has a TTK that's like 5 seconds long and is a moba that incentivizes clicking on creeps rather than players
>>560188689I actually agree it will be a detriment to the population. There will also be rampant cheating
This game's worse than Halo
>>560188658>>make pve bots even weaker>great okay you can kill them faster, they are just noisemakers to alert everyoneThis is probably the worst part about the game. If PvE was actually good then it could take a lot of the strain off of PvP, but the PvE fucking sucks ass. In Arc Raiders the PvE enemies are fun to fight, can be challenging and also worth fighting. In Marathon the PvE enemys are super boring to fight, just bullet sponges and also never worth fighting unless you're doing a quest where you're forced to.
it feels good to uninstallit feels good to refundit feels good to leave a negative review
>>560188745>Anonymity means I can cope and pretend it's all the same person instead of accepting more and more people are burning out with each passing day. >>560188765You haven't played Deadlock, although denial is part of the game, you get currency from creeps without even touching them as long as they die around you, giving you a lot of breathing room to engage with players during the laning phase more than most MOBAs. Deadlock's TTK varies wildly but it can be very, very quick, some characters can do half your health even by the 3 minute mark with a single ability. My point is Deadlock is a genuinely hardcore game but can still keep a large player base because it knows the difference between being hard and being punishing. Marathon is simply punishing.
>>560188617>The more you play the more you realize looting is a waste of time when you could just knife people at no risk other then your time.
>they actually think we can't recognize them by their posting style
>>560188865i unironically think the shootin is better than dedstiny 2, so is the lootin.Just in practice the pvp sucks.Its not tuned properly and is designed by amateurs.
>>560188936gonna be honest i think like 90% of the reason deadlock is doing well is art
>>560188617>it's literally designed, intentionally or not, to burn people out except for the rattiest of rats.Thank you for the compliment.
>What if Fortnite but some players start with purple guns and full shields?The whole genre, and the game itself, is just a constant roulette table where you’re gettingfuvkrd and then fucking someone else. There’s so little consistency that there’s no time to form an opinion on anything. If it wasn’t for the locked rooms and leftover lore in the maps I would have stopped playing. I actually don’t think the games faults are its own, I think it’s all on the genre itself. This genre is just never going to take off.
>>560188983Let's just say there's a reason they removed the IP count lmao
>>560188950by the end of the slam i had the opposite opinion, only looting was worth doing.Getting the best loot and avoiding all combat and getting out was the challenge and i became good at it.
Pfhor runnersPfhorrunnersForerunners
>>560188896what they should have done is make the shit bots drop crucial loot for upgradesunless they do? i cant tell. my squadmates are loot fiends and loud fuckin retards who then alert everyone to come kill us.
>>560189090mind blownonly on pfhor chanbtw its quite obvious Jjaro are Forerunners
>>560189042It's definitely a big draw but if that was solely the case you would see a big decline in the player base over time but it's pretty consistent and growing in the long run. It's kind of the other side of the coin, a huge draw of Marathon is the art but once people actually dive into the game they drop it before long.
does anyone know what triage's overcharge passive actually does>It says it in the descrip-"boosting your weapons performance" is too fucking vague and could mean anything from reloading faster to ADS'ing faster to even dealing more damage. What does it ACTUALLY do?
>>560189194more dmg, thats why everyone plays him
>>560189176>a huge draw of Marathon is the art I don't think you're right, I think a lot of normies think the pastel colors and simple shapes are, interchangeably:>gay>corporate>for kids>garish>makes my eyes hurti've heard all of these from different people. deadlock has actually been moving AWAY from a more interesting artstyle to something much more overwatch-adjacent and it's been doing very well for them. it helps that deadlock is genuinely original and ambitious (moreso than marathon) but art is just not a draw to marathon the way it is for deadlock.
>>560189042not him but same with marathon, the game looks fuckin amazing. and i know id get shit for this for a game like that but i honestly want another tf2 game so i'm all for them to casualize the fuck outta it so more people will play it when it finally comes out(but i dont think it needs to be casual since it seems actually worth learning to play regardless)because got damn does valve cook.marathon on the other hand kinda needs to be casualized for its own sake. and i really like the fuckin weird shitty splatoon block designs.
>>560188936>haven't played DeadlockAre you retarded? There's absolutely nothing you can do against a hero with a high soul advantage in DL other than buy active items and try to shut him down. Even then, he probably has some counter items against that. Deadlock also has no progression beyond singular games since it's a MOBA by nature which is a completely different experience from a long term, stealth emphasizing sort of gameplay that extraction shooters veer torwards.
>>560189334>There is nothing you can do>except do these thingswhat are you even saying you fucking retard
>>560189069makin the priority contracts just buttfuckin stupid as they are(IN A SINGLE RUN AND EXFIL) just was the wrong move. you're better off just spammin the shit easy procedually generate contracts over time if you want to play without rippin your hair out because you got spawned on the other side of the map with 2 freekits with no mics
>>560189302>i honestly want another tf2 game so i'm all for them to casualize the fuck outta ithave you considered liking videogames and not just the one game you played when you were 12
>>560189297well yeah this game was originally suppose to be hyper realistic and dark.Its kinda like how cp2077 was teased with classic dark dystopian imagery. then they turned it into sunny gtaSame thing happened here
FUCKING NIGGER ROOK JUST FUCKING KILLED MEWOW NO ROOK ON ROOK SOLIDARITY FUCK THIS GAME
>>560189297I tried to talk a friend into playing it and he thought the game looked like shit visually and the guns looked like lego blocks so he didn't want to play.I really think normies will all hate marathon visually.
>>560189302Well, good thing we're getting a ranked mode soon! We NEED more pvp in marathon!
>>560189417no it... wasn't???the first trailer had the same super vibrant colors and highlighter green accents as it does now. they just made it look more like a hero shooter in character designs. it still would've been stylized
>>560189445nta the guns are my favourite part, shame
>>560189247thought the lookout I was using became a lot more punchier after I used the passive, but I just chalked it up as the UESC being weaker and hitting headshots on runners and some sort of placebo from knowing I'm technically "emp'ing" enemies whenever I shoot them. Cheers nonny
>>560189334Yeah active items are incredibly impactful, a single active item can shut down a hero for a team fight making relying on a single carry a lot less viable. Not sure what the relevance is for the rest of your post is, doesn't really refute anything I've said. Point is you can have a hardcore game with a steep learning curve be successful and keep people hooked
>>560189403i dunno its like the nintendo of multiplayer shooters where its still fun if you lose.its like we cant have a shooter like that anymore that also isn't a military arcadey run n gun fast food slopfest
>>560189487the first trailer is notably more hyper realistic and makes use of darkness and shadow. Like the concept art they previewed.This isn't debate-able anon they literally said this happened
>>560189445>I really think normies will all hate marathon visually.We know this is incorrect because fill queue is a fucking nightmare that is filled with the most turbo casual low IQ players possible.
>>560189376there is infinitely more you can do to avoid being killed as a solo in marathon than you can to avoid being eventually roflstomped by soul diff in deadlockin marathon you just play cautiously and most of the time you will not get ganked, let's be fucking real most people are not making absolutely zero noise for extended periods in this game. even if your team sucks shit you can peel off and try to escape and if enemies are really dogged in chasing you ttk is low enough to where you can fight back if you play smart. deadlock's "this is a MOBA, not a shooter" ttk means that upsets in a teamfight are borderline impossible and if your team sucks that badly the match is often decided long before you actually have a fight this isn't to say that deadlock is bad but I've seen infinitely more serious "I need to be talked down from the ledge" crashouts over deadlock. part of that is that it is a game that is incredibly fun when you're winning, moreso than marathon- I honestly think a bigger part of that is the art repeatedly luring people in.
>>560189550>arcadey run n gun fast food slopfestI'm so happy Marathon isn't like this, and everything you do matters.
>>560189550>where its still fun if you lose.Games need to just be fun, if you force sweaty bullshit you're just going to be a joyless faggot who doesn't even enjoy winning and kicks holes in the dry wall whenever you lose.
How does Bungie save Marathon?
>Marathon solo guide>It's a Recon mainI was one week ahead...
>>560189717Nerf assassin
>>560189717It's fine.
>>560189707i think thats where the lack of ass pockets in this just kinda make you never have fun. dying super quick isn't fun when you lose all your shit on deaths. at least theres some sense of progress with an ass pocket full of unstable lead when the best course of action is to not die and always win, of course everyone picks the shotgun sniper thiefdrone clamores and play incredibly gay.
>>560189717Make a pve focused queue so people who don't want to pvp during their 10-step quests don't have to
>>560189774desu most shells are actually good for solos
>>560189717>save Marathon?From what? It's a very good game. How do they increase the playercount for a hard game? Put it on PS Plus, and Xbox/PC game pass.
>>560189550i think tf2 kind of sucks ass if you have team diff but sure, getting shut down by people being willing to play medic on the other team making sure the enemy team has infinite health and the only real counter is become an aimbot as sniper is great and not literally the exact same shit that makes other hero shooters like overwatch miserable
>>560189417>sunny gtaThat's redundant. Unless you're saying CP is closer to GTA 4 than 5
>>560189659That's just players being bad. If casuals liked how Marathon looked then launch wouldn't of peaked at 88k and went down every single day, PC wouldn't be the primary platform for a Sony game and Marathon wouldn't of been 32nd and 38th played game that month even beaten out by Destiny 2 on Xbox and PS.
>>560189878anon even the creator of the rpg said he hated it for being gta
>>560189717Literally just lower the ttk, also on top of that gut snipers and shotguns
>>560189717It's too late. Most they can do is add a single player mode so you can play it after it EOS
>>560187656i was legit starting to wonder if they were going to announce the game's huge gimmick was that i was playing with a mix of llm-powered bots all along or something because a good chunk of the players behave so bizarrely that it seems more far-fetched to chalk it up to stupidity alone
>>560189936>Literally just lower the ttkOh boy, people dying even faster will totally fix the game.
>>560189936all of the people complaining about bad teammates ruining their lobbies and you think raising the TTK to halo tier will do anything positive for the game when all low TTK achieves is making teamfights more and more important to the point that peeking an angle without teammates glued to you is suicidal
Finally got into the room locked behind 2 red 1 orange in Pinwheel. The purple backpack / shield came from a thief who was breaching that I killed.Vandal/Thief can get through the escape hatches in the little side rooms which I feel a little bad about because defending against that while you're solo is unreasonable
>>560189872its fun to rocket jumpits fun to try your best to spy and blend inits fun to spycheck with pyros because you feel like you're doing somethingits fun to play a medic in the same regardits fun finding fun spots to put sentriesits fun leading the charge as a heavyits fun moving around and weaving around people tryin not to get instagibbedits fun being a lazy nigger placing stickies on areassniper is gay and only for people who play 24/7 2fortits a fun ass game with options
>>560190017they are paying jeets a dollar an hour
>>560190036I mispoke I meant RAISE it. >>560190039Bad teammates is fixable by finding friends to play with, there is no fix for the god awful ttk right now, when people lose loot they want to feel like they earned it, not "I turned a corner so I died"
>>560187195no game can be patched enough for this guy.
>>560190039damn so you're saying higher ttk means you have to play around your team more? the fuck anon that sounds HORRIBLE UHG
>>560190097the weirdest thing is when im afk getting food or whatever and they just stand around looking at me and moving 3-4 feet like literal bots until i sit down and start going
so now i dont have my thermal rifle nad i have literally zero fucking weaponsSO I HAVE NOTHING BASICALLY
>>560190170bro played fill squad once, got a troll named SCAMMER when the prox/voip was all fucked up and never touched squadfill againthen proceeded to play it like arc raiders, avoid everyone and only kill robots. i would have hated the game if i only saw him play it

>>560190043im the only one who loves the ui and inv in this and all the items.Fucking wish it was a single-player loot n shoot
>>560190074>it's fun to rocket jumpsure, until the enemy team has a bunch of engineers and nobody dealing with them and then you're not allowed to play >its fun to try your best to spy and blend inspy is a bad winmore class that gets infinitely bodied over and over again unless the enemy team is completely distracted which depends on your team>its fun to spycheck with pyros because you feel like you're doing somethingno it isn't>its fun to play a medic in the same regardno it isn't this is literally the primary problem with the game medic is the strongest class in the game and he's not fucking funnot even going to bother with the resttf2 is fun for two reasons:>it was designed as a drop in drop out casual game with low stakes>engagements are designed around close quarters and projectiles which means movement is emphasized in a big way and losing is rarely just aim diffthe hero shooter shit can be just as cancerous in any other game in a sweaty lobby.
>>560189849>most shells are actually good for solosRecon is stonger in 1V1, except when facing Triage.>Why Triage harder to beat, than others?I'm gatekeeping this information.
>>560189991>6 good runs back to back>teams even the silent randos keep the medic alive>shock the shit out of a recon along with a thief>tfw I took their thermal mod
>>560190293you forgot that most casual tf2 playin is bigger teams. the cancerous hero shit you are probably used to is shit like Marvel Rivals or Overwatch where it's filled with the most dumbest fuckin people and 1 person not doing their job will ruin the fun for everyone elsei dont think anyone thinks tf2 and thinks yes, highlander only matchmaking please
>>560190291the fuck? how would this possibly be fun without the threat of other players?
>>560190190this but unironically fuck having to play around your team in a shooter. only deadlock gets the pass because it's not a shooter
>>560190379how is dork souls funhow is stalker funhow is any game fun
>>560190402its going to be shit gay nonsense in low ttk as much as a high ttk settingfuckin retard loot goblin free kit runnin around looting everything being noisy as possible will happen regardless.
>>560190371it literally doesn't matter. if you have a team diff (usually team comp diff because it's a hero shooter) in TF2 it can be total cancer. the problem is just scaled up in TF2. in a 5v5 game if you don't have your support you have a miserable time and lose. in a 32v32 game if the other team has like 4 medics and you have none because nobody wants to play medic because he's not fun, you have a miserable time and lose
>>560190457This is not a fucking argument you retard stop repeating it, I know its only your dumbass saying it. The fact there will be shitters who die regardless doesn't mean the game shouldnt be changed or improved in anyway.
team pvp hero shooters are just a cancerous genre.shouldn't exist
>>560189717Give free kits green shields.
>>560190512i see i have one the argument. thank you for the concession.
>>560190327>>Why Triage harder to beat, than others?>I'm gatekeeping this information.it's because when triage gets hit with the spider, while his smiley drone is up, his health doesn't get reduced, and he can eat one more bullet, than any other shell.
>>560189717Buff triage further and lower the cooldown on triage's ball zapper
>>560190578>make the medic essential>unkillable>dmg buffgreat balance
>>560190507the shit you mention never was a big deal in tf2 as much as you make it out to be. >"team diff" is some retarded shit i only started hearing during marvel rivals and i think its just a you issue at this point.what you're sayin doesn't seem to align with >it was designed as a drop in drop out casual game with low stakesseeing how you're arguing about it

>>560190578Plus his battery overcharge is just disgusting when paired with the br33 you melt fuckers twice as fast. Along with pumping the amp overdrive, you're more or less a fucking terror if you can up keep the drones for your team with pumping boosts.
I wish Triage wasn’t so ugly or I would play him
it's not like Marathon is a team game. Your success and your teammates success are independent
>>560190661people TAKE tf2 less seriously because of the high playercounts and community server infrastructure it was built aroundwhen people take TF2 seriously it becomes as obnoxious and based around your team functioning and playing the right classes as any other derivative hero shooter like overwatch and rivals. whenever you're losing in a tf2 pub look at your team and I borderline fucking GUARANTEE your problem is that your team doesn't have enough medics.
Can I freekit Parasitism 1/5?
>>560190649>>unkillablehit him before his smiley-bot is up, preferably with your spider, so he gets both damaged and overheated. If smiley bot is up, don't waste the spider, see if you can wait for smiley-bot to go away.
>>560190749i dont care about other people i day dream about mass human extinction daily.
>>560190734Well for example, I as a Rook just sat at the top of the ladder and kill 4 people who came up it, just using my knife. I was in a vent full of bags. Then I put down some claymores in the vent and exfiltrated without ever actually going into Pinwheel proper, and I blew up the people who were coming out of it.
Yet another episode of triage droning himself and then not responding when I say you can drone teammates
>>560190862funny, did you get good loot?
>anon complained higher ttk would lead to more third partying because people would die 1 second slower>bungie makes sound completely fucked making third parties happen more often now anyway
>>560190960yea and nobody likes that, it's almost certainly some retarded misguided statistics-based change where they were like "peanut's viewers liked it when he was in combat... so we need combat to happen more often!"
>>560190946I got 8k worth of loot, including a fully blue strider, and a fully blue br33.
>>560191018yeah you know shits fucked when the redditors are allowed to openly speak out about it and not get sent to the downvoted bin
>>560191024nice
>>560190858no one cares logan
I'm mildly interested in this game but hearing the horror stories of people wasting multiple hours trying to a complete a single contract that requires them to do a bunch of shit AND successfully exfiltrate is really putting me off, that sounds like it would tilt me hard

>>560190327Triage is broken in a premade. Got into a few fire fights and I had to cancel my healing because I look down and I'm already healing.
>>560191269but someone in this thread was telling me that triage's healing was worthless (and in fact all runner abilities were worthless) because TTK was too low and there would never be a chance to heal
>>560191147The funniest spawn I ever had was on Outpost. I went in with just a knife. I heard a guy crouch walking maybe 10 feet away. I moved toward his general direction until I hit a short wall. I heard him moving against the wall, but further behind me, so I slowly adjust my direction. He mantles the wall, and I'm already lunging at him. I slash him once midair, break his shields. He hits me once. I hit him again, and he's down. It all happened so fast, and it looked so stupid because from his perspective he's getting hobo raped as soon as he jumps a wall. He has a pink brrt on him and a bunch of other shit. So funny.
The balancing is a weird one cause when a game does it well it’s not something that you notice, it just works and feels right. But when it’s wrong it’s very wrong and feels quite rough.
>>560191327Yeah I dunno. Blue shields probably had something to do with it. I just notice when I have a good triage vs no triage.
>>560191182Makes me wish they had the arachne blades as a skin, along with the sec officer from the marathon art as a skin for destroyer.]Mostly so I can beat the shit out of the vandal players

>>560191440Streamers are the ones responsible for this. I was watching while getting my drops. Some have direct contact to someone at bungie. They were texting someone complaining about the lack of pvp and sound
just wasted a delux nucal kit, wanna kill myself
>>560191581exactly, shit game balanced around streamers and esport players.same thing thats been killing every game since sc2
>>560191269>Got into a few fire fights and I had to cancel my healing because I look down and I'm already healing.when I ambush someone as Recon, it's always easy, because spider does both damage, and overheat. Unless it's Triage, with smiley-bot, he can fight back, doesn't sprint, but his health bar is full.

>>560192180im level 13 and it happened to my squad fill in the tunnels recon decided to run down here for some reason and surprise, he ran into a group while they were prepping it.then we proceeded to get smoked in the hall and an assassin came in and shotgunned us
>>560192070>>TTK TOO LONGNo one has ever said this
Thief drone glows red, I shoot drone

>>560192259I watched this clip before and it's one of the reasons I don't want to pay for this game.
Marathon isn't hard, it's just punishing.
>>560192546marathon was famous for having multiplayer retard
>>560192548>it's one of the reasons I don't want to pay for this game.Thank you for complimenting the clip, I am happy to do this. It's a pleasure.
Arc Raiders is objectively better.>Enemy NPCs are more varied mechanically and visually, have better animations, and are more interesting to engage with thanks to the mechanical variety and limb system >You don't die in a single shot and actual fights take place rather than hide and seek>more maps>Weapons are far more balanced
>>560192606and a sp you mouth drooling retard, not only pvp
>>560192043Damn nigga just play arc raiders
>>560192642>>You don't die in a single shot>>560192642>>Weapons are far more balancedIt's still clunky, and boring to play.Marathon is refined, fluid, a pleasure to control and interact. Niglets can keep coping with being bad at video games.
>>560192682a shit spMarathon's campaign was dookie compared to the shooters of its time
>>560192736Sorry nigga landing a single shot with your shotgun or sniper is not impressive nor makes you good at the game.
>>560192709yeah thats probably why arc raiders player count increased after marathon came out
Haha we are fighting so ill just keep myself nice and in the open
>exfilling with a faction's sponsor kit will give you faction rep>test how much it is with a white kit>30 repmay as well give me nothing at that rate
I'm fine with how the game is now but it's pretty clear some notable changes need to be made, the ttk won't matter when the game is dead a month from now and stops getting updates half a year from now.
>>560192904>the ttk won't matter when the game is dead a month from nowA month with a good game is better, than a year with a shit game.Arc is boring
>>560192971So you'll have your game for a month then they can fix it and we'll get more people, you can fuck off and pretend it just went offline
>>560192971>complaining about arc out of no whereMind broken.
Huh, I didn't realize my marathon keys were different.
>>560192757no it wasnt you zoomer retard
>>560192971>arc is boring because I can't one shot people and they can actually fight backHave you tried not being bad at the game lol
>>560193045>prestigethis is the paypig buttery up word
Low TTK works in your favor. Positioning and timing matters much more than your ability to click on heads, for the most part. Whoever shoots first usually wins. Don't draw attention to yourself. Avoid combat unless you absolutely have to. Stab robots instead of shooting them.Get the high ground on enemy runners. Ambush them. Coordinate with your crew.
cryo will be pve only right? they arent dumb enough to have pvp in it
>>560192840damn the ttk is so perfect in this. and this is without shields. wonder why it works so well in this game where guns take a bit more effort to control and shoot.
I completed Parasitism 1/5 but I got too greedy trying to loot pinwheel
>>560193228because everything else is sluggish too
Marathon would be better if instead of shooting each other, they hugged each other.
>>560193217
>now I have to get 24 items for this wormBros...
>>560193317omfg the fools this is hilarious. the absolute seething as people waste their keycards they spent all week getting
>>560193057Are you going to tell me that Marathon 1's levels were good? That any of INFINITY was good? 2 was alright but bear in mind that it's competing against Doom 2. Quake came out an year after Infinity and Blood/Shadow Warrior after that.
>>560193317Why do you keep posting this fake tweet
I’ve never used the ARES. Is it worth unlocking for purchase?
>>560193217It will be 6 crews that spawn into one big cube with no cover. Once only one crew remains, the Compiler will spawn.
>solo on Outpost>kill one faggot>immediately get third partied by another faggot
>>560193361zoomie, Marathon was the best fps game in 1994. It was superior to doom in every way, There was NOTHING else on the market.It was the best. Full stop.
>people losing all their good gear and access cards to campers in cryoi hope the mics are on i want to hear the mental breakdowns
>>560193378why do you have keep being such a buzzkill? It's not like it matters when this is bungie, and obviously it'll be pve only
>>560193094>they can actually fight backNo one can fight off a surprise attack in the wide open. In a room, you check corners. Not possible outdoors.

Extraction shooters live and die by risk and tension. The whole reason fights feel intense is because you actually have something to lose. The moment you remove that feeling, the entire gameplay loop becomes just another PvP shooter.Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of suggestions asking Bungie to:>Reduce gear loss>Make PvP less punishing>Increase the TTK >Add more safety mechanicsBut if you start doing all of that, you slowly remove the soul of the genre.Marathon feels refreshing precisely because it’s not trying to please everyone. The game is brutal, fights are chaotic, and every run feels like something is on the line.And honestly… that’s what makes it exciting. If someone wants a more relaxed extraction experience, games like Arc Raiders will likely fill that niche. But Marathon should stay the hardcore Bungie shooter it’s shaping up to be. Not every game needs to appeal to everyone. Sometimes the best games are the ones that fully commit to their identity.
>>560192971If you don't care that the game dies why would you care if it gets changed?
bros…
>>560192043>>Arc Raiders is the most popular extraction shooterarc was pitched as an extraction shooter and every update they've made to it made it less and less of one, i'm not reading the rest of your retarded post when the first statement is already idiotic
>Constantly get into Pinwheel base and get great shit when bringing sponsor kits>Vault full, bring a decent kit>Within 10 seconds of loading in already being shot at by a Recon, barely get away, stumble into two different players within 40 seconds of trying to just get the fuck outNever even got my tactical off cooldown
>>560193867In no way does raising the ttk change any of that, the tension is still there, if anything the tension is going to be HIGHER because you'll actually have fights lasting more than a few seconds.
>>560193917Please die even faster.
>>560193758I think shields should get more modularity or some equivalent to armor equipment/stat should be added cuz it's kinda silly that Destroyer has the same amount of HP as Thief doesUESC should also be more of a threat
>>560182168the only other time i saw it to this degree was dragons dogma 2.
i dont know how ranked can save this game. its not gonna stop sweats from still farming the casuals
This game make me feel like I am future robots computer&Untrue man robot computer dreaming
>>560193898>If you don't care that the game dies why would you care if it gets changed?If the game gets changed, it will become a different game.I like playing the original.
you did all her quests and maxed out her faction, right?
>>560194108The original will be gone if it doesnt change too though
>>560193758>one of the most popular genres btwkind of hard to not be when everything is a hero shooter now
>>560194009The UESC are fine with the current HP levels as their overall lethality didn't get any form of hit. You'll still get domed by UESC Recon commanders and all the units still chip away at your health.
>>560194108>ttkfag is literally retarded and can't understand the questionlol>>560194096It will reduce it, you've been told this already
>>560194145>The original will be gone if it doesnt change too thoughChanging it is delaying death. Not wanting change is playing the original, as long as possible.I do not care about delaying death.
Does Marathon have gear based matchmaking?? I swear when im running a blue shield every other team also has them or blue shields, but when I bring a free kit everyone else is also a free kit or green shields.
>>560191147All these games use bots. Players are bots too. >why do they use bots To force losses on you in specific scenarios to keep you playing. Devs know that if you lose 7 runs in a row you’ll go for the 8th, which is 3 hours of play time.
>>560194274>>ttkfag is literally retarded and can't understand the questionI don't need to understand words. I'll just kill you and take your stuff,
>>560182168people just dont like this mode of game. Its clearly the other way around bungie thought shilling this game was easier than making a good game
I was playing Thief in solos and I came across a Vamdal. We had a gun fight and both got downed simultaneously. Downed, scuttled on the ground toward each other and collided. Because of the downed animation, it looked like we were scissoring for a full minute lmao.
Opened a lockbox and got 4 schemas out of it, not bad. 1 8x medpack, 1 8x ammopack, 1 flecheette grenade and 1 special offer sponsor
>>560194009i think the destroyer has a big ass shield he can cast and does aoe explosive damage with his ulti. its fine. i get what youre saying but i disagree.
>>560194423Erectioning right now
>>560194335it literally has no matchmaking whatsoever
Feels good to knock this one out, movement speed is a huge boon to solo play. Not to mention the added jump height that helps me mantle things without double jumping as often.
>>560194274>It will reduce itthe player count will be around 25k when ranked comes out, it will be nothing but the sweats. the casuals will have long stopped playing by then, even then when the casuals do try the game they will still get prolapsed by sweats wiping perimeter lobbies. a handful of sweats fighting each other in a ranked match isn't going to stop that.
>>560194461Haha this is the future of sex. Virtually scissoring inside video games.
>>560194424why does this gorgeous inv ui have to be locked up in this sloppa gameInsane!
>>560194437Regardless, I find it kinda lame that you can mod guns in interesting ways but backpacks and shields can't. Shields rn are kinda boring since they're just an extension of your health bar but need a different item to fill it.
>>560194424lockboxes are def a fun and consistent. i think making the keys purchasable was a good choice and an easy objective for people to go for. also like that thief can xray them to see which one has the rarer goodies.
OOOOOH red smoke at a POI = lockbox
>>560194423>they did it on purpose
>>560194558I have had a few duds before, maybe a basic gun and some crafting mats but it seems decent overall.
I Unlocked the shotgun for Rook....It is so fking fun running into squads and diving at them with a shotgun. The amount of panic in their voices."THERE IS A ROOK AND HE GOT TWO OF US BE CAREFUL."I usually die to the third, but the little bit of chaos is so worth it
>>560194707why do you fags pretend people are talking to their teammates on the public proxy and not the private team voice
>>560194707Which faction has the shotgun upgrade?
>>560194557please go into detail about the "interesting" ways you can mod guns.
>>560187938>zapped multiple runners with the electrical gesturehow? they just shoot me during the time it takes me to send it, even after charging it behind cover
>>560194707What how did you do that?
You do have a full squad, forcing Free kits to do the work, don't you?
>>560194829I like bird calls :)
>>560194793because most people in this thread dont even play the game, even the ones that say they like it lol.>>560194569gotta have something to do in this fucking game...
no one actually plays this game
>>560194931youre real youre real! im so happy! :D
>>560195014I only camp.
>>560194850I'm usually with trios when I do it.

>>560194990>because most people in this thread dont even play the game, even the ones that say they like it lol.its probably a reddit copypaste because i do thatalso as someone playin the game incredibly slowly like a real gamer dad, level 13, im finding everytime i play gets even worst and worst. i get more dopamine talkin about the game than playing it
>>560195247maybe you could find it in the hundreds of videos calling the game shit
>>560193970And of course the very next run with a sponsor kit I kill 3 people, breach Pinwheel, get the locked room, and command wing.
>>560195348The thread and the player population shows people are quickly just burning out
>>560195247It's enough QOL for me to actually be able to jump the fence on the western side of Maintenance towards Quarantine and some of the shelf areas in Outpost with all the Shells.
>Only just realized there's a quick melee. Why the fuck is it bound to C by default?
chop chop, get back to work slavemy trio needs new piggies to hunt
>>560194890Get to work, wagie, open the doors so me and the boys can loot
>>560195468
>>560195348I put about 8 hours in trying to exclusively play solo and it was a horrible experience. I started to enjoy the game a bit after playing Rook, somehow unupgraded Rook against trios felt better then being in a lobby with other solos.I can't be bothered to even launch the game now. After the patch part of me is just thinking the game will get better eventually but with the player count hemorrhaging it just makes me feel like theres no point.
>exfil with inventory worth a pathetic 790 credits>heart beating out of my chestwhat is this fucking genre
yesterday night playing until 1 am with online buddies. doing keys and always exfiltrating succesfully. I felt like in my 20s again. had a blast.
>subreddit disabled the how many are online stat
So is there an environment signal that lets you know a POI has a tox room like with lockboxes?
>>560195614i sponsor kitted like 5 matches last night one after another and it was the same fuckin shit everytime>comms or not didn't matter>either they sit at spawn fuckin with settings or rush a poi>they just shoot the first fuckin robot they see>sprint around looting everything before you can even imagine whats in it>end up on the other side of the complex to get killed by seal team 6everytime. the only successful one i had was being with a thief who knew how to play but didn't have a mic.
>>560195621It'll get better with practice. You'll be beaten black and blue for your first 50~ hours anyway, so it's a good idea to use it to learn nuances on the maps, how to play against the UESC, learning about loot and just focusing on your macro stuff instead of fussing over whether or not you'll bag Runners.
>>560195580>Solos is unplayable because of Assassin
Alright lads the game is incredible. Not only did I meet good players, we partied up and wiped lobbies for a few hours tonight. Pristine gaming experience. Reminds me of the old days, the before time, when people fucking talked to each other in games and not just on their private discords. Actually made some game friends tonight and THAT is special. Furthermore, the game really does get more fun the more you play, and even just spamming Perimeter and learning where all the decent loot opportunities are is fun, running into some solid PvP now and again... MAN. This game has sauce. I wish more people stuck with it. This is going to go down as the greatest game this generation that nobody fuckin played. A goddamn shame. A fucking travesty. I firmly believe anyone that likes shooters could have fun here. How do I convince everyone I know to get this game HOT DOG it's good. Also>rook run>hear friendly voice lines >thought it was for me but it was like 3 other rooks>demons took over>wiped them all out with my pistol and knife >get karma'd later by what I can only assume was a survivor gunning me down at extractI fuckin love this game.
>>560195896blast havin!
>>560195896>when people fucking talked to each other in gamesYou're in the wrong game general
>>560195880based. assassin players are usually low tier so its not that hard to beat them
I swear to god in a run of Dire Marsh I saw a fucking cloaked Sin run off into the bush like the fucking Predator. I don't know if he saw me or not but I never saw a Sin for the rest of the game.
>>560195784You get the ? symbol for being nearby, but I don't think there's any obvious indicator at a distance aside from the ones that are just visible from a long ways out, like Greenhouse.>>560195880I don't play Recon much but there definitely is a special satisfaction to tracking down an invisible shit hiding in a corner hoping you'll just fuck off because they don't know your jam.
>>560195963A lot of people honestly use Sin just to do Contracts in Solo. The stealth isn't useful for just ambushing people, you can also just ignore most of the map when it comes down to it and beeline for an objective.
>>560196001Oh right the little event symbol, I forgot those could be included.
>The one kind of genre where you want as many players as possible to reduce how often you run into no life rat sweats>Gonna be at 25k by the end of the monthof course, just my fucking luck
>>560196473this game was a dumb idea
Can one of you fags kill me already? My vault is filled up with mid loot because I keep exfilling successfully
this shit is painful to seepeople used to have to earn their skills instead of bloating their kills with shit like camping algaeponds and killin people with dogshit ttk most of these niggas wouldn't last in a BR online firefight in halo 3
>Friends unironically reinstalled Arc Raiders and began playing that cause Marathon got them in the mood to play an extraction shooter but they weren't enjoying Marathon itselfBruh.
Recon is friend to no one. Prey to none. Predator to all.
YEAAA NIGGA WE ARC RAIDERS UP IN THIS BITCH!!!!
>>560196521>>560196473>you suck at pvp get a hobby bro you're unemployed >>560196623they might as well just allow rooks to default be teamed up and spread across the map. they want their shit to be a BR well make it a constant BR mess
>>560196534>Honorabu duels.I've got no considerable hate towards campers as the game gives you plenty of tools to squash cockroaches. I'm guessing most of the issues on the long term come from Sponsor kit heroes with no agency over how they'll fare.
>>560196534halo had a lot of shotgun corner camping
>>560196558this is becoming the norm all over the internet, everything is censored, curated and fake.I've even experienced the opposite where i was asked to review a product, i leave a positive review, then discovered the company refused to publish it. Like it want good enough for them. Just wasting my fucking time
>>560196663>they might as well just allow rooks to default be teamed up and spread across the mapI would go from hating to loving the game over night.
>>560196680a shotgun was a power weapon that required map knowledge to know the spawnsthis is like, just allowing fine niggery to happen and people using it under a guise of skill and get a big head about it.>>560196670its just sweaty streamer culture. i would lvoe to see how matchmakin works. would probably make more quit faster>wait, im purposely put in games against people that have way better gear and skill?
I’m so fucking robot chinese.I think that’s how it is in MarathonThat’s just how things are in Marathon
>>560196558why would you want to write a negative review when the game is good? sounds like you are just a hater
How do you find the cat?
>>560196909the cat finds you
>>560196847you're brown
>>560195880i love this.
>>560196861if i wanted to write a negative review just to write a negative review then i wouldn't have any reason to log out of my account and check if it showed up on the steam page so i could see if the reviews were just astroturfed.you can delete or change a negative review, they aren't permanent.

>>560196526dumb fag cash is better than random garbage weapons just buy bully only
>>560197556this game has like a fraction of concord, highguard, horizon whatever and marathons budget. this will be fine with like 1k players
>>560197406Well with these changes, its more like king of the hill. 5 squads one after another adds up!
>>560197703Cat! :D
>>560188936>Marathon is simply punishing.>>560192464>Marathon is good, but hard>>560192551>Marathon isn't hard, it's just punishing.Harder than hard, that's even cooler. Heh
do people still cry when they lose some of their gear? Im actively going into matches with my best gear because my vault is full.but this often leads to me wiping some scared noobs on sponsored kits. I think some people dont understand that part of the game.
Literally Marathon needs to do is have a proper tutorial. I know they like to do the in-media-res thing where you are dropped into a situation and get through it but it barely explains anything.
>>560198108>do people still cry when they lose some of their gear?>>560198108>some scared noobsYes, while the game is alive, we have some scared players. I kill kitted players with sponsored kits, simply because I know they're scared, and they will slip up.Hesitation is defeat.
Vandal got so scared, I could hear her pee herself
god even this general is dead. the game came out a week ago, this is so over.
its never been so over
>People are putting claymores on drones now>can't do anything about it while indoors since by time you see it, it'll be right on top of youThis game is getting gayer every day, I'm convinced sweats are intentionally trying to kill it.
>>560198479I see nothing but raw dickriding on xitter. Makes me genuinely wonder if there's some sort of shill campaign like israel and the $7,000 thing.
>>560196557My friend that I hadn't played with since vermintide 1 and his friend and I had a jolly good time tonight. I even pulled out some good gear and a sniper rifle I never use. Turns out voice chat really makes this game fun.
i noticed every time this game is about to fall under 20k something happens that hides it
>>560198595>I'm convinced sweats are intentionally trying to kill itI'm trying to ruin it for people, still on it.
>>560195896I've had a few solo runs today where I got the early drop on some folks I could have let live only to get Karma'd on the last step of the contract. I laughed everytime.
>>560198801Yes we know because you make about 20 posts on it every thread and no one fucking cares
>>560198801Kill yourself faggot
>>560195880>Be thief>Crouch walking in dire marsh red tunnels>Pop visor because I can>Green ghost rounds the corner >Stab first and kill an assassinGame is too funny sometimes
>>560198940There's other people talking about both solos and trios being hard to survive. They care enough to talk.When I'm tired I feed on their energy and get back on the game. I sleep for 5 hours, once every 32 hours.
fucking insane its at 20,025
>>560188059You don't bhop with a knife?
>>560199087>>Stab first and kill an assassinGood work. Assassin is one of the most "praised" or "feared" shells, so I hate him.
>>560198801This is the way if you are solo.There's absolutely zero point in trying when you play solo. You need a way to maximize fun and minimize humiliation rituals and for that, the best course of action is ratting and playing like a complete ghoul.
>>560187603If vault is full, blue kitIf vault has room, sponsoredFor some real fun, knife only
>get fucked up every single run since day 2>decide to stop gathering completely and instead hunt people >camp exfills>solo queue only>finally get some kills and lootI think we are back
KILL ALL TRIO RANDOMS
finally it went under 20k. 19k!
>>560199302wont be the first time
I have screenshotted every Marathon general since launch. I have over 2,000 screenshots, copied on flash drives.In the future, I will post some moments, to laugh at the desperation, and sadness of shitters. Begging for protected matchmaking.
I don't care if this game only has 5k players, still love it.
>>560191696I bet not a lot of people know they can melee your bot like a tick before it does damage
QUEUE TIMES ARE UNBEARABLE ALREADY WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFF BUNGOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>560192007I keep missing my claymores on the drones :(
>>560199279This is one of the issues with this genre but a bigger issue in Marathon particularly. Playing the game "as intended" is more challenging and less rewarding than just sliming out some guy at exfil or while he's fighting bots.
>Dying instantly and having no chance to react or do anything>The "depth" boils down to just whoever saw the other person firstRiveting gameplay, I'm surprised its struggling so hard to keep people playing
if marathon has even 1 player i am one of them
What’s the deal with the anomaly? It’s like that movie Annihilation.
>>560192904Throat goat
>>560199516its a coin flip, even if you saw them first, they might have a shotgun, full shields, using a controller for aimbot.You just die, lose all your shit,start again. Its dumb
Doesn't matter when this general dies. My shell has limitless copies of it. Since launch.Marathon is a special game, not only are the mechanics good, but it was also a hard wake up call for many.People focused on movement games so much, with slide cancelling, rushing, re-challenging, that they lost the ability to adapt to camping.To them, it's shocking, that someone can be in the same building, and listen for 5 minutes, before attacking them. I love Marathon(2026 Original version).
>opening the thread every hours on the dot to make a TTK post because my boss has decided that's the argument that gets the most traction
>>560177825Seething, take your PREP
>Game where you can lose your loot to one life round pvpco->combat is primarily decided by tools not player skillCringe, Sea of Thieves is unironically a better game
Maybe if Bungie put the ARG in the game and not in a Discord server then casuals might actually get to feel involved and have fun and the player count would stop melting idk lol just a thought :3
Bungie's Marathon no longer shows up on any top lists on SteamDB.- Not on Most Played.- Not Trending- Not Popular Releases- Not Hot ReleasesSupport from the player base at large has vanished seemingly overnight.
>>560199854discord trannies gonna tranny
Give me a team deathmatch style gamemode. I like the action and the gun battles. But the extraction shooter format does nothing for me. Wandering around and collecting loot and scanning lobsters gets boring. The moments of actual fun action are so few and far between.
>>560199847>>combat is primarily decided by tools not player skillCope or bait? I don't even know
>pick up both coordinate datapads>marker for cache appears>2 markers for datapads still on the map>alternatively, cache marker just doesn't appear at all>get notified someone took the anomaly sample>go to anomaly marker (it hasn't moved in the last 5 minutes)>there is nothing therehow many playtests does it take to implement functional objective markers?
>>560199854ARG on discord? More like AGP on discord.
>>560199973>Can't actually explain how it's wrongYeah good luck beating someone with a shotty or sniper while you have literally any other weapon
>>560199187I'm surprised his reaction was so slow. I'm not the invisible one and I had enough time to decipher what this fuzzy green cloud in front of me was.
>>560199854I really hate how everything moves to a discord you have to join to see now instead of just being an openly viewable forum
>>560200012Zoomers can only speak in buzzwords, he can't actually articulate an opinion.
>>560200069the same people are unironically demanding the steam forum become private
>>560199973No/Green shield with a SMG will always lose to a blue shield with a shotgun
>try to go back to rook on other maps>die of boredom and lack of loot I can only outpost now
>>560199973It's literally just blind shitposting.I'd say it's bait but it's not even to get you mad. They literally think they're doing their part shitting on the evil woke game by sitting here and spamming shit shit 24/7.
gyame syimply nyot very gyood
>>560188896They aren't even an inconvenience anymore. Recruits take like 2 or 3 shots to kill it feels like, shield ones maybe 2 magdumps. Ghosts are a joke.
>>560188983Are you telling me you don't think the 10000 "Golly I was having so much fun with this game but now I'm dying 60 times a second to the evil streamers so I'm afraid this game is going to die" posts in every single thread aren't organic?
Lads... we dipped below 20k....
>>560200069It kinda reminds me of Helldivers, you’d see posts and articles spammed online about whatever victory of the day the devs had strung together. Marathon could have something crazy where 1 out of every 50 infils (or whatever) your AI glitches and you get sent to the shadow realm (or wherever). Like there’s so much you could do to make a deep and interactive experience and instead they’re just drip feeding time-gated content with a private Discord (???) and it’s impossible to generate hype
>>560200486>I was having so much fun with this gameno one ever said this

>>560200553I said it
>>560200553Quite literally every person I've talked to who tried the game outside of 4chan has said this.Every single one, without exception.
What's a good backup CQB backup to the volg smg and ar? Shotty? Bully?
>>560200495doubt it or are you implying 0 people play on console?
I refuse to believe that console is not a significant part of the playerbase despite what Paul Tassi claims.
>>560200878I mean if you've already got one SMG you probably don't need another.
>>560200212Not if you stand more than 4 feet away from the guy with the shotgun, genius

>>560201784I've played countless games of this nature and you will always once in awhile run into a chill person, this game is the first exception
>>560201740>exposing yourself to the enemywhat reason would they have to NOT kill you?you should have gone to another exfil
Marathon is super hardcore unlike that care bear Arc Raiders...oh wait we have to section off the game's first raid and make it PvE only cause the player base is insanely autistic and sweaty? Uhhh w-well our ttk is still lower!
>>560201876have you seen the misleading posts on reddit that show things like entire teams exfiling together.Its all designed to bait retards into buying it.
>>560200212>No/Green shield with a SMG will always lose to a blue shield with a shotgunGrey shield with grey AR and a little drone can kill blue shield, as long as blue shield is running on the ground, and I'm on a roof.
>>560201919>>560201984It was the last one so not like I had a choice, sometimes you just hope people surprise you.

uninstalling with a shotgun

>>560202321It does also make it easier to avoid other teams though, I don't really mind it.
you know im 100% sure ive seen an older game that looked just like this one. Cant at all remember what it was.
>>560202234Apparently you can hear pinwheel gunfire from Processing now. What the fuck were they thinking?
>>560202321Surely being able to hear where the bad men with the scary guns are should be better for people who are scared of pvp?
Proud to say I'm one of the few people who want this game to fail because I've played it and not because of politics or bandwagoning
>>560202389>>560202436>You have to crouch walk everywhere and avoid going near any NPCs at any point until you want to be mobbed by people with guns that will do 90% of your health per shot if not more>WHY DOESNT ANYONE WANT TO PLAY??
>>560202441Why do you want it fail? Can't you just stop playing and let others enjoy it?
>>560202546No cause you're faggots
>>560202441do you think that matters? i put in a huge amount of time in the slam. gave positive feedback and constructive criticism. And i simply got written off as hater by their community

>>560202546>STOOOOP>YOURE MANIPULATING THE NARRATIVE>PEOPLE CAN NOT THINK FOR THEMSELVES
>>560202537If you're that terrified then just use a gun with a silencer for killing bots, what's the problem?
>>560202643The community has a serious dickriding problem that will lead to the game having serious issues that never get addressed because nobody wants to bring down the mood and reveal that the game isn't actually an underrated gem and is in fact just a good game with problems.
>>560202415ai seems to think this>Direct Inspirations (from Bungie art leads like Joseph Cross & Brian Vinton)These include:• Graphic/modern product design, Nike sneaker culture, Ikea assembly aesthetics.• Games/media — Wipeout, Mirror’s Edge, Ghost in the Shell, Aeon Flux, Metal Gear Solid 2, Death Stranding, God of War, The Last of Us, original Marathon’s industrial sci-fi, Akira/Otomo, Koji Morimoto, The Designers Republic, Chris Cunningham, Alberto Mielgo (Spider-Verse influence), F1/MotoGP. It seems to really think this was inspirationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_MCxIAQFjA
I'm playing and loving it. I know it's "failing" because of Sony/Bungie standards.If this game was released by Survival Stealth Shooter Company for $20, it would have less players(than even now). But the Metascore would be 95/100 and Youtube would call this game "Elite, super polished for an indie, True Hardcore".This game would be very respected, a lot of nerds would be shamed for admitting to get filtered.
I just think if you're going to lose gear on death people should have to work for their kills, I know, crazy concept, but I think most would agree which is why the game is struggling.
I really don't get this retarded fucking plan>NO STOP ENJOYING THE GAME>DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S TOO HARDCORE?>NOBODY WANTS TO ACTUALLY PLAY A GAME AGAINST OTHER PEOPLE>LITERALLY ONLY THE BASEST OF CASUAL GARBAGE ALLOWEDIt's the most baffling and retarded line I have ever seen forced
>>560202795What genuine problems, then?The closest is Sniper/Shotguns being too centralizing but it's not nearly as bad as people are making out either. Or the clearly busted thief movement tech.
>>560202927>I want a balanced PvP game>NOOOOOOO YOU'RE A PUSSY TIMMY SCARED OF PVP STOP TRYING TO SUGGEST I SHOULDNT BE ABLE TO ONE SHOT PEOPLE WHILE CAMPINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
>>560202795Bitch the front page of the Marathon reddit, the most carebear hugbox place to discuss the game on the internet, is currently filled with people bitching about an issue they want to be fixed, what are you talking about

>make game>add baffling design decisions such as nerfing PvE whilst also making it so if you fire a bullet the entire lobby hears it>this means the only real progress to be made is killing others and taking their shit however in the process of taking their shit you reveal your location to five other people who all have the same plan of taking your shit>your battered housewife fans will still run cover and dismiss any criticism as filteredThis doesn't lead to a healthy game ecosystem, it leads to Destiny 2. The metagame is of ideal extraction shooter clay but the actual gameplay feels like a low ttk BR and the "do a bunch of shit in a single run and extract" stuff just exacerbates the issue.
>>560203037>>560202795Actually this still came off more accusatory than I intended. I do think any genuine problems get burried in the horde of insanely fake "BRO THE TTK IS (not actually) LOW SO IT'S ACTUALLY UNPLAYABLE"
>tons of people that don't even own the game are ITT spending hours of their lives every day doompostingTake comfort in the fact that no matter how bad your life gets, you'll never be as pathetic as these people.

>>560203502this is going to be such a hit in 10 years, you'll eat your words
If this game fails I will kill myself.
>>560203529It's not getting "more" negative you retards have been shitting up the threads with the exact same posts over and over again for a week now
>>560203529>the bad designthe game is very well designed. you may not like the way it was designed. i think a lot of people have an inability to separate I DISLIKE THIS from THIS IS OBJECTIVELY BAD. i dislike arc raiders because its casual and chunguswungus carebear shit. i like this because its more hardcore and has more depth. we are allowed to have differing opinions. i think arc is a good game, its just not up my alley. this might also be a good game but not up your alley.
>>560203529>as players burn out from the bad designNigger it's literally all youYou have the most posts in this thread by a wide margin
>>560203531I'd put Dire Solo first
>>560203419If you're saying i'm that catfaggot then you're mistaken, i'm someone that's had to run to Hauler for the last 4 hours trying to do contracts only to run into someone, kill them and then get ganked by 3 different players from each entrance.
>>560203529>>People are shocked the thread is getting more negative as players burn out from the bad designYou new? It's standard practice on 4chan for shitposters that don't even play the game to parrot complaints they read and use it as fuel for their shitposting to seem more legit.
>>560203632>more depthIt objectively has less depth than Arc Raiders since it's a game of "I see you first, I win the encounter unless you drastically out-gear me" There is little to no player expression due to the fact fights go on for seconds at best.
>be smart, fearless, hung man with a very large penis>win in punishing game
>>560203712>It objectively has less depth than Arc Raiderlol, just lmao. Arc Raiders is fucking bad and the move to make it third person in a fucking extraction shooter is the dumbest fucking thing ever. Godlike corner peek in a fucking extraction shooter. That is how retarded the designers on Arc Raiders is and is just the tip of the shit iceberg for that game.
>>560202807We need a Duckov version of Marathon.We shall call it Maratoons.And it will have cute anime chibi girls in it.

>>560203712i get into lots of protracted solo engagements, personally, where we both survive the initial contact and start using our character abilities to either disengage or maneuver to get the upper hand... so im not sure what youre talking about, personally. the TTK being low is why this is a hardcore extraction shooter. that means you have to play extremely cautiously and sometimes your ticket is just punched. thats part of what some of us love about this style of game. so maybe you dislike that, and maybe thats ok.
Crouching in a bush will make me God
>>560203734Last time I played solos i spawned into dire in the bushes near greenhouse, stood still for a minute checking my contract in the map screen, hear footsteps as someone is doing my usual all the way around the map trick to get somewhere. I downed them with a Bully through the bushes.I crouched on top of them bleeding out for 10 seconds, then on proxy they said >h-hello..?So I stabbed them in the neck
It's such a shitshow
>>560203878Eating hamburgers will make me God
drinking cheeseburger will make me FAT
Dirty little secret no one wants to admit is the PvP is bad but its being masked by the loot system.When you win a fight you aren't feeling good from overcoming the fight, for having bested an opponent, you feel good because it either just got you more loot or prevented them from taking yours, remove the loot and literally no one would touch this for the combat itself.
>>560203902>not enough active players to support their botnet neetcodekek
>>560203712>It objectively has less depth than Arc RaidersHahahaha do Arc babies really?
So punishing...
>>560203712>he mentioned arc raidersif you actually play the game, you will now see how disingenuous marathon fans are
>>560203651Dire solo is too one note for my tastes. Every single encounter is at medium range and they're all just jumping someone else. Perimeter has more actually long range encounters and mutual mid-range fights in my experience.
>>560204015the post I was replying to mentioned it
>>560203962with 10k-15k bots confirmed a few generals ago. that means only around 4k-9k players are actively on pc right now. its fucking grim.
botnet jeetcode
>>560203979Okay now imagine you're the other guy who for all intents and purposes had the drop on you.
>>560204050I like it because you can sneak around and actually do contracts
Remember to ignore doomposters that don't even play the game. They only shitpost to attentionwhore because this is the closest to social interaction they get in their lives. So if you ignore them, they will look for another game to doompost attentionwhore about.
this game would have been incredible as a sp gameshould have just made a pvp version of the same game
>>560203947no one actually likes hamburgers; the patty is not that good. it's just the bun that keeps them coming back
>>560204074It's early on a weekday what are you expecting
>>560204215like the exact same game but pve? you would probably like pve tarkov
>>560204202Sadly what actually happens when you ignore them is they just keep replying to themselves endlessly
I heard someone use proxy chat yesterday for the first time after I killed them (shot them in the back while they were looting supplies).Weirdly enough, they had an american accent even though I play on EU.You can probably guess what they said.
>>560204202>just ignore any criticism you don't likekek
>>560203585why can't it be a hit now?
Are people complaining TTK is too fast or too slow?
>>560203148Ttk low is how the game can be unbalanced you dishonest fucking idiot
>>560204325Yee haw?
>>560204278like they should have just had this game but two versionsthe pve one and the pvp one. The difference being runners are bots in the pve and players in the pvp one.
>>560204142>imagine you're the other guy who for all intents and purposes had the drop on you.He didn't. Red glowing spider bot went for the ceiling. I knew where to shoot.Heheehehe ahahHAHAHAH BWHWHAHAHAH
>>560204202>got btfo'd here >>560203424>just ignores it and repeats himselflmao
for me, it's because my vault is too small and the armory is too expensive. (and shotguns are too gay). all this w/ the 3 month wipe in mind.all very easy fixes. something's gotta give or im not coming backi do love the game though
>>560204375That isn't what the word imbalanced means.You have the same chance to get the drop on your opponent as they do on you. The game is in no small part doing that; maneuvering and fighting for positioning to get a good engagement.
>>560204360too quick; which i don't mind much in 3s, but it's anti-fun in solos. i do mind the shotgun being 0.00 second ttk though
>>560176795Prove you aren't a shill, say something you dislike about the game.Prove you aren't a bandwagoning shazamtard, say something you like about the game.I really like the gunplay and the sound design.I dislike the exfil contracts.
>I would rather the game die than change it up a bitIgnore any retards with this mindset
>>560204394yea, this is how tarkov does it. you can also pirate the game (i think??) and play the sp mod,https://sp-tarkov.com/
>>560204524I like killing people.I don't like getting killed.
>>560203531I wouldn’t mind Marsh if the “story” objectives weren’t so awful. I was actually starting to enjoy the little low effort aura farming cutscenes until all the objectives sent me to dire marsh.
>>5602045243v3 teamfights are genuinely the most fun I've had in a shooter in many years.I dislike that snipers execute you in one shot, making the item that literally only exists to get around being instakilled at long range (self-revives) worthless against them.
>>560204551>than change it up a bitsure. there are changes could be made. yanking up the TTK to make it more wholesome chungus jolly cooperation is not changing it up a bit, though.
>>560204524I like the art style, the maps, the lore, and the raw gun play itself. I dislike the low ttk, the weapon balance and how shallow and basic the NPCs are
>>560204524see,>>560204523>>560204474i think the game is special and it's a shame people need it to be the perfect game at 1.0 or "it's dead"-- now that the genre is semi saturated and everyones brain runs on doomspiraling/social media
>>560204620your goyslop game is about to be killed, and you will like it :)
>>560204578>this is how tarkov does itThat was literally what killed Tarkov.
this game is basedslop
>>560203810Yeah and invisibility isn't the most stupid broken thing in an extraction shooter either LMAO
>>560204706what game should i play instead? be careful you will be bullied for wrong answered
>>560204674>Is this fucking petrified of having to actually fight someone who can fight back instead of one tapping them from a corner or roof topYou're genuinely fucking pathetic.
>>560204524>say something you dislike about the game.Outpost looks like shit and is boring to play, so the game only has to maps>filtered by mapYes, it reminds me of negroid skin
>>560204783I can tell you games you should NOT be playing instead: extractor shooters.
whenever i worry that this goyslop might be able to have staying power, i come here read a few posts and all that worry fades.
Camping behind a corner will make me God
>>560204825>Outpost looks like shit and is boring to play, so the game only has to mapsOutpost is probably the best designed map I've seen in any extraction shooter
>>560204732tarkov is pretty big still, though it is approach 'late wipe' dropoff... and that's normally when people drift into pve (the last ~2 wipes)
>>560204829HE'S TOO AFRAID TO ANSWER
>>560204901Heat Cascade on Outpost blocks me from (((positioning))) outside, how the fuck am I supposed to camp!?Heehheuhueheu Bwbhahah hahahhaHAHAH
>>560204797if you want to run around in jolly cooperation knowing that no matter what happens, youll be able to just run away from any pvp... arc exists. it just sounds like you guys want this game to be arc raiders instead of a hardcore pvpve extraction shooter. so like im saying... what you want isnt to change it up a bit. its to change it fundamentally into a different game. totally valid if you dont want to be careful. just play arc.
>"goyslop"This might look like a yet another shitty buzzword but in reality it describes Marathon pretty well.Instead of making a proper game, bungie went full corpa and tried to chase a trend because their marketing overlords told them that making an extraction shooter will make them Gods.
>>560205109i actually invented the og meme but antisemites took it
>>560204489Yeah no. Not everyone runs in with the same gear and abilities. That alone makes it unbalanced along with rng spawns. Theres a reason everyone runs solo assassin and mirage in squads.
>>560205109in reality you're: uncultured, unread, fat, gay
I'm still mad, heat cascade saved this faggot https://i.4cdn.org/vg/1773373800908087.webm
>>560205060>youll be able to just run away from any pvpJust chase them down.Also, if you run away constantly you'll get nothing out of your games, so pussying out is already a punishment in itself.
If I keep repeating it that will make me God
Nerfing Marathon will make it CoDFuck you niglets
On the market for a new monitor. Any recommendations from /mg/?
>>560205384>>560205384>>560205384Extracting to the new thread will make you God
>>560205408>>560205109>slopathon™
>>560205175That isn't ttk.>Not everyone runs in with the same gear and abilities.Hope you do the same inane shitposting for every FPS ever since arena shooters died then, because that's been the norm for ages.
I really don't get the TTK debate. I've won (and lost) a lot of encounters where the other guy started shooting first. If you use green shield and above and use your abilities you should be able to turn fights around. Getting killed by someone camping a corner is part of the genre, and most times you just didn't pay enough attention.
>>560205109Nigger have you paid literally even the slightest attention to any discussion on this game at all?It's the opposite of safe. It's been constantly shat on for having an artstyle that isn't generic and corpo enough, for being an extraction shooter which is niche and not some big chasable trend, for being pvp focused and too hardcore for worthless indian subhumans to enjoy. It's the anti-goyslop and that's the entire reason its doing poorly.
>>560205275is melee attacking worth it
>>560204524It's an ex shootaEverything else
>>560205705They were definitely trendchasing when they made it in this genre, I think they just though the genre was more popular than it really is.They were looking at the viewer numbers on twitch not player numbers.
>>560204524 The performance is atrocious
>>560184548Nice body, but I really hate that style of anime weapons.
