>>560997460>no discord link in OPit's over
this guy is the most ahead of any player or streamer i have ever seen>like 30 gold mods>already looted like 6 unique gunswtf
Ayy lmaos will be released upon killing the compiler. TRUST THE PLAN
>Parker: "There was some guy wearing green shield in Cryo on the last run.">shroud: "He's my spirit animal"Kek
Feels good being a marathon man
>>560997868Epic
who is this
>no sbmmdead game
I like the idea of a mode to get excited for the weekend but this feels like a mode people would dread playing instead like grinding gear knowing you will probably lose it all within an hour or two.
Reminder Outpost is the good map.
So let me get this straightYou need a vault 6 key to get to the last vault? So you gotta find 2 keys to even get to use the 7th key at all?lol
>>560997647the discord is private now they got too many people, hope you got in when you had the chance
>>560997995A customized runner from the Chris Barrett version of Marathon.
>>560997790
>>560998231I wish I could have played that version instead of the Ziegler Edition.
>>560997790An absolute no-lifer who was teat-fed all the necessary info and who never faced any challenge whatsoever in this game. Yeah, very... impressive.
>cryo archive has no pve modeI'm out, had a fun 14 hours playing the other maps but this game is too stressful for a solofag. I'm in the marathoncord so i could get a trio but why? I'd still have to fight other trios...
>>560998364Same
>>560998214so fighting the compiler is going to be impossible for 99.99% of players until they decide to add them to other maps down the linei still havent even obtained a single marathon key...
>>560998364I wish ziegler died before he got hired
>>560998327
>cant even have fun rook runs because i didn't poopsock for all the good upgradeswhats even the point? wait till the next season?
>>560998365so you are saying enemy players are no challenge?
>Shroud, potentially the best player currently is getting nowhere and getting frustrated
>>560998752His skill level is highly overrated, especially for his age.
>>560998409character customization>you get to tailor make your own dude with abilities you want and make him look how you want, literally every player wins even the people you hatehero shooter>you are forced to play some Art Institute of Seattle's OC with all the baggage that comes with that>awkwardly lumped together abilities that don't make sense in anyone's mind but the designer>you have to choose between appearance and abilities every single timeWhy did they do this?
>>560998846>Why did they do this?Ziegler helped shipped Valorant and that's all he knows. Plus they needed to own Chris Barrett for being a chud.
>>560998823what is his powerlevel?
>>560998971Uhhh...
>Buy blue kitted gun in the shop for 4.1k>loadout value 2.1k Ok>buy 10k sponsored kit because fuck it I have lots of credits, just want to jump into another run and not fuck with the retarded interface anymore>loadout value 0Nigger
>>560998956hard to tell because he takes finasteride but my best guess is early 40s
>>560998846Custom characters with custom abilities would be an absolute nightmare for a competitive game like Marathon. Every single enemy runner would have to be treated like some kind of eldritch demon because you'd have no idea what they could do at a glance.And everyone would just end up running the same broken shit anyway. Its a genuine "you think you want it but you dont" situation
>>560998956He doesn't even have a driver's license, it's probably very high.
>Shroud complaining it took 5 runs of vault 04 to get the RNG DNA sample to fight the Compiler
>>560999078It would be no more of a nightmare than Assassin or Thief.
>>560997995Lmao the UESC was never originally going to be portrayed as this evil authoritarian entity was it?
>>5609990683 hours ago someone on his team asked him what his favorite movie was and he said Avengers Infinity War and then after that he started humming the OG Duck Tales theme so I have no idea what the fuck age he is. A 40 year old shouldn't say he watched Marvel slop 400 times
>>560999187>3 hours ago someone on his team asked him what his favorite movie was and he said Avengers Infinity WarI understand why he likes Marathon now
>>560998380what do you think shooting the UESC and looting their corpses for keys to upgrade your security level was? Whoever loots faster gains access to more doors, that way you can flank your enemies still stuck on door 1
>>560999176i dont think the UESC is portrayed as a hard evil faction especially considered most shit is told from the lens of giant megacorps that are just as badpretty sure it was stated the UESC was the only thing that forced the world to unify and not devastate the earth into an unlivable hellhole
>>560998956Hes a CS player you can be sure he has atleast a thousand reps of calling someone the n-word online.
>>560999078Hero shooters are gay though. The problem with hero shooters is I have to choose someone I don't like because he has an ability I like. And generally I don't like the character design. I want to be the normal looking soldier guy, and even Destroyer doesn't really look like that. He's still goofy looking. The only design that I think fits me visually is Rook, and he has all sorts of restrictions. If it is that important to you, character abilities could be removed entirely for the sake of balance. I would not miss anything. Look at pic related. I like being a medic. I actually have never played Triage because look at this thing. It's disgusting.
WHY THE FUCK CAN ASSASSIN GO 100% COMPLETELY INVISIBLE THERE'S NOT EVEN A FUCKING SHIMMER WHEN HE'S STANDING STILL WHO FUCKING APPROVED THIS
>>560998380>DiscordJust hit Fill and follow your other two teammates around shooting UESC
>>560997175Does this look like casual friendly fortnite to you? This game doesn't even have emotes to sell lmao
>>560999507your real problem is that you are a small souled little worm of a man with no taste>just let me be le cool soldier guy
>>560999510Because it's a hero shooter, chud.
>>560999026>people watching a man play video games because they can't play the video game
>>560999690What did I say that upset you?
>>560999814Bungie cookin' with this new update FR!
Shroud was stressed the whole time he was playing
reddit wants this to be a cult classic so bad lmao. the reality is that it'll be called concord 3 and be done with. is there even enough porn coming out of this?
>>560999960keep us updated
>>560999849I'm tired of your ilk
>>560999960wow like your average player. maybe he can complain to bungie and make it easier
>>560999960>Unc willingly spikes his cortisol playing a bad map
>>561000038I'm sorry Ziegler, but hero shooters are out. Your quirky designs are just annoying.
>>560999507How is it a hero shooter, they all have relatively the same stats, can have multiple of on the same team, and all use the same weapons? It's more like a class system.
>>561000205Nobody forced you to buy the game, you clearly don't like it, the devs clearly won't cater to your retarded demands, what are you even doing here?
>>560999960There is no loot possible to make this shit worth it.
>>560999960>when the other squads can shoot back with equivalent gear
>>561000346>Then uninstall, I'm tired of all you shitheads complainingt. Shroud probably
>>560998327How do we get the faction specific skins for weapons?
who is the next best streamer to watch now that Shroud had enough and tapped out?
>>560999960And that's why sweats dont want SBMM or being locked out of easy prey through PVE. They can dish it out, but cannot take even a single fucking hit. Pathetic bastards.
>>560999960He pretty much summed it in the end. Said it's pretty easily one of the best extraction shooters endgame maps ever made, the issue is just that it's likely way, way too grindy for the more casual player. I do think that is fair but it seems that it'll get easier over time, especially when it looks like you can save the keys you find planet side for whatever you might need from Cryo.
>>561000313>the devs clearly won't cater to your retarded demandsThey aren't catering to anyone. That's why you had more players on Wednesday than Friday Night (the day of their hyped map release btw) and the return to the marathon ship after 30 years. The game bleeds players daily. Hero shooters are out. >why are you hereTo tell you why your game is failing.
>>561000495Peanut whenever Bungie makes enough money to pay him to play it again.
>>561000443No I'm being genuine I extracted like 6 times today from cryo got some golds but none of it matters because 1. backpack is just too fucking small 2. I run bully/wstr/longshot anyway so all the loot feels pointless. It's not like in tarkov where you have 100 different guns and all are valid this game legit has like 4 or 5 good guns and everything else is garbage.
>>561000495LOL, that fucker is finally dead. Good riddance, GG NO RE. Shroud is a wash-out, so if he taps out - same thing GG NO RE.
>>561000495I assume he lives in California? Who goes to sleep at 5PM? Was he a NEET?
Realistically what, if at all, do you think Bungie will fix? Coming from Destiny 2 it would take them months or even years to eventually fix or add things.
>>561000610Peanut played offstream with Tim and Hutch during release week and it was kino. He genuinely likes the game but it kills his numbers worse than the retarded dinosaur game somehow (even with the viewbots).
>>561000313Not him, but watching this games inevitable slide into death is interesting. Concord and highgaurd crashed and burned immediately. This one is slow, like a good sipping whiskey.
>>560999642They are corporate eggs, not gamers. FUCK. do you have any comprehension?
>>561000793>He genuinely likes the game but it kills his numbers worse than the retarded dinosaur game somehowYou really don't understand that most people hate the way this game looks? I like it myself, but I get why people don't like how it looks.
>>561000795Well enjoy having this game live rent free in your brain for an year
>>561000495Damn...
Being that I come from a PvE background and rarely ever played PvP games; how is Marathon doing compatibility?I didn't think I would like extraction shooters but they're fun when you can play them like you're in Metal Gear Solid. Was actually considering going to trying some F2P Korean Zombie Extraction Shooter; looked interesting and far more grounded in its world than Once Human.
why is he sad
>>561000495The vaccine claims yet another life.
>>561000953That's what having a blast looks like, chud.
>>561000874I'd tell you to enjoy the game, but it'll be gone by this time next year.
>>561001034Lmao cope retard, why don't you go back to Destiny
I wish they just made this a co-op shooter. I don't want to play Arc Raiders but worse in every way.
>>561001034OTHER ANON IN ABSOLUTE SHAMBLES
>>561000953people are shooting back :(
>>561001156>co-op shootersThey tend to get incredibly boring since they're so easy
54,708players right now54,70824-hour peakare we back?
>>561000953what having to play on a map designed around third partying does to a mf
>>561000953He was raped.
>>560998752not even close to the best player.see Nirvous, omlet, kruzer
imagine being ziegler
does anyone else have their youtube recommendations filled with videos glazing marathon and all under 10k views?
>>561001142It's a good thing that Destiny died.Escape already made us GODS, Death was the first step.You are stuck in an unending humiliation ritual but you will never escape.
>>561001297Not if they're good. Look at HD2, DRG, or CoD Zombies.
>>561000953The growing resentment towards the fact that his income and livelihood are now tied to this piece of shit game for the foreseeable future
>>561001375The twitch app on my TV is like that since I installed it when every streamer was doing a #Ad stream for it that day.
>>561001336>Nirvous, omlet, kruzerThese sound like verses in the bible and not streamers
>>561000538Ex pro players have two paths :>continue playing pro or transitionning to coaching/suit role>stomp noobs to maintain their ginormous self esteemt. ex pro athlethe that noticed this way too often
>>561001389I like them but they're all babby tier easy after a whileOnce you get all the overclocks in DRG and done D10 commando missions along with Hive Tyrant ones, it's not that interesting
>>561001156>>561001297That new James Cameron shooter looks fucking fire btw, they could have done something like that too and it'd be thousands of times better.Just... dont do co-op like Firebreaker though.
>>561001493Neither are extraction shooters without PVE
>>561000850I think the artstyle complaints ties in more to something else, which is that a casual viewer tuning into a Marathon stream won't be able to tell what's going on. They'd look at the amount of special effects on screen and the weird looking items to loot and they'd probably think>what the fuck am i looking atThe artstyle can grow on you and Outpost as a map is where it all comes together, but I yeah I don't blame non-viewers for tuning out after a while. The rampant special effects are at their worst during the Cryo Archive streams because all players brought their best loot.
-ACKTimer-san, please don't rape me!
>>561001570Who's still talking about Cryo bro? Compiler's been reached nobody cares anymore. Pack it up etc etc
>>561001142Never once played destiny. How are the queue times today?
>>56100156190% of the time the hud is super simple though, it's literally just 3 elements (weapons, abilities, health/shields)
>>561001482>coaching/suit roleI would imagine there is no money in this and your skills really aren't that useful since the flavor of the month game changes every month
>>561001693For Destiny it takes forever to find raids if you aren't lfgThe ship for it sailed a long time ago and Bungie isn't interested in onboarding new players
Now that Fortnie won, where we dropping?
>>561001743And somehow they've fucked themselves over again with this game too.
>>561001561>>561001705its simple to read it's more like how much shit blends into the background. when you got picasso bullshit backrdrops it makes it hard to tell players
>>561001773tomato town
>>561001773Vandal and Thief in Fortnite would actually have asses, I'm down.
I finished every single quest and I still haven't found Biolens Seeds to actually buy those fucking blue shields
So you can only exfil from Cryo if you get max security clearance?
>>561001319We back
>>561001319Back to worse than Tuesday's numbers.
love making people waste ammo into my shield, taking 2 swipes with my knife at them to waste their meds too then watching them be completely puzzled by the unlootable body bag i leave behindeven better when they get third partied while they're trying to figure out why this heckin loot pinata isn't giving them the loot they earned
>>561002095>Vandal and Thief in FortniteNot the craziest collab
>>561000953TL;DR: entertainer realizes he’s not entertaining.Because he, and all other streamers, are court jesters in the court of tech ceos producing bullshit slop content.He doesn’t care what he plays as long as people pay to watch him eat corpo slop. His expression is simple to explain: the realization that he has to get a real job soon because both of the games he hitched his livelihood, Deadstiny and Flopathon, are dying or dead.
>Cryo Archive is weekend only
>playercounts for the big hyped event peaked at 55k>will collapse over the weekend by 10k againgrim
>>561000953>Le will became a Landscaper soon face
assassinate the assassin
>>561002681poor guy
>>561001297I'm fucking dying for a co-op shooter that isn't mindless hordeshit.
So now that Bungie has showed their entire hand and the playercount is still dropping, what's next?
>>561002912Remnant 2 you are welcome
>>561003116Dire Marsh with the lights off will save the game
i really hate how weasely people word shit.
>>561002912You're thinking of games from the late 2000s where there was a campaign and it had a coop as an option. That can't come back because the wheel must be reinvented instead.
>can't just learn Cryo Archive on my own>have to chance getting grouped with absolute drooling mongoloids just to see what's what
>>561003116Going back to Destiny 2 or Halo but like, Destiny 2 is on life support and Halo is still a Microsoft game so the situation is most dire overall.
>>561003214>game with giga aim assist and bullet magnetism is high skill ceilingmake it stop
>>561003282Please NO Destiny sucks so much anything but that.
>>561003296
>>561003214Read the comments, any time someone has a critique for the game half a dozen accounts come out of the wood work
>>561003504yeah a lot of people love to say >uh works on my machine nigga!whenever theres a huge issue. its insane. bungie fans are something else
>>561001859It's literally plain white squares on the fucking bottomhow much easier can you make a fucking hud
TTK is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too low in this game. Bungie fucked up big time.Whats the point of all these different stats and systems and mechanics if people can just laser beam each other from across the map with a fairly basic gun and down people before they can reactIts like they went to the lengths to create RPG mechanics and slaped them in a gun game where it feels like everyone has 1hp anwyay
dead general for a dead game
>>561003214>bungie could've just taken this design and made it accessible to the paying customer, but they didn't so it's great!
>>561003214>highest skill ceiling>creatively designedfunneling the entire lobby into The Third Party Dimension in the middle of the map is so creative and high skill dude how did they come up with this shit??? truly visionary i kneel
>>561003214It's just tarkov though what is creative about this?
>>561003214this guys been shilling this game ever since the trailer for it came out LMFAO he had a whole entire overedited video a day after that released
>>561003801>its so great when i die in under 1 second to trio premades!>bungie fr cookin when they make you grind while gettin swept in perimeter maps by people with purple shields. it just means i have to get good! i love sucking ASS>its a good thing that all the streamers are farming us! it helps me clear my vault!
>>561003214>bungie could have made a successful game, but instead they didn't!Lol, lmao even.
>>561003736You know since seasons are so short Bungie should experiment every season with balances like they do with Destiny like next season change TTK and some other things
>>561003736the game feels so much better in that regard once you get to using blue shields. I really think shields should be removed from the game entirely, just make blue shields the baseline for everyone
>>561002514don't worry, you can only afford to run it about 2-3 times before you're back to rook runs.
Bros, I think they cook too hard
>>5610041582-3 times that could be as low as 5-10 minuteslol
>>561004139I hope thats the case. But it feels like pain and suffering trying to do contracts to rank up factions to GET to that point and having to just use free kits over and over again while you walk around as basically a free xp pinata for enemies with gear
Is Bungie cooked or let them cook?
>cryo archive is a total failure for anyone but the top 1% of players>solos are outright rioting and they're havving to ban them on reddit now>player count failed to beat the highs of even 4 days agoit's actually over
There’s nothing about cryo that actually justifies the 5k load out requirement, you can find blue kitted guns and loads of meds in the first set of rooms before you ever see any other players. To make fill queue not shit there could maybe be a blue shield or higher requirement but the 5k horseshit is just to arbitrarily force you to empty your vault and credits and feel like it meant something. If you fill with a shitter they’re gonna suck ass regardless of whether or not they have a free kit
>>561004226not true, you could spend 15 mins hiding in a ventAlso, does anyone else lose frames on the Traxus armory page? I think there's too many items LOL
>rare rng key to enter vault 6>rng item might spawn inside it so you can enter vault 7>two teams entered vault 6 for worlds first>one got the rng item, the other didntGood fucking god bungie cant die fast enough
>>561004319>not trueLearn English pajeet, I said as low as.
which team is the closest to fighting the compiler
>>561004273Troglodytes over there are really trying to accuse people with jobs or weekend plans as being children for complaining
>>561004273Bungie actually created content that is more elitist than Destiny raids. That's impressive
>>561004492Nobody, it's all RNG
I'm just not gonna play Cryo Archive ahahahahhaa
>They still havent fixed the "I have a shotgun that means i win" lol yeah this game deserves its slow death
>>561003214nigga the games gonna die what the fuck are you talkin about
I avoided touching this for a while but now that I decided to get the context well... HOLY FUCKING KEKCan't believe they "Surf Dracula'd" Marathon by releasing the game about Ayylmaos without the Ayylmaos and expecting people to "earn the right to fight them" by either waiting a year and a half (assuming the game lives that long) or going through cock and ball torture (forma de extraction shooter) for a single AyylmaoNiggas at Bungie really are on fent or something stronger idk.This is like, if Halo Infinite had been an open world were you killed insurrectionists or UNSC and the first raid boss from the first big update was a roided giant Grunt. WIth the promise being that if you endure for 2 years, you "might" get to fight more Covenant aliens in about 2-3 years of extra development.Bungie niggas are insane.
Pete won
>>561004690In Destiny 2 they had the same issue and the solution was to limit the ammo but that was a straight up PVP game I have no idea how they will fix it here
Should I buy Destiny 1 Collection on PS4? I can do most of the content in that right?
>>561005069>I can do most of the content in that right?yes
does anyone want to be friends so we can do cryo together
>>561004450struck a nerve? some indian spit in your chip butty?
>>561005261No.
>>561005069That's probably the best version of destiny 1 or 2. Assuming you want to play an absent minded MMO with a shit story, it's okay.
>>561005140cool
>>561005069I think PVP no but everything yes. Worst case scenario you will need to hop on discord
>get free cryo kit>backpack is full of the consumables i never useAm I playing the game wrong? Should I be saving and using these?
>>561005261can you play vandal and pretend to be my gf
>>561005261Fuck no
>>561005261lmaoooooooooooooooo
Is that a Deimosite Rod in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
>>561005261Depends. Do you have a Mic? Do you have smoke alarms that need battery changing?
>>561005519sure I can do that. I don't have to pretend though we can date for real if you want
>>561005504yeah probably.
>>561005721I'm not gay, kill yourself.
56k. 2 EZ.
just exfiled on cryo archive for the first time, bungie has truly outdone themselves.emoji:M2026:Marathon (2026) Discussionme and my squad have done about 4 runs on cryo archive so far, died on each of them. we just finally made it out, and I haven't felt a feeling like that from gaming in at least a decade.had to kill 2 enemy teams, took their clearance cards, then wiped a room of commanders, 8 minutes left on the clock, rush around looking for a scanner, finally find one and get to the terminal, the exfil is on the other side of the map, we start sprinting and make it there with 45 seconds left and fight through the guarded exfil and jump on with just a few seconds to go.loot we got out with made up for our losses so far, we're still talking about how great it was, bungie really did something special here.
So are there any new story type priority contracts with cryo
>co-evolution 4/5 soloQ time>die 5 times in a row>6th time I get 2 purple shield randoms while I'm in greens>they just double longshot a squad early on for free >blue shield, volley thermal, longshot thermal upgrade for me>kill 2 green shields trying to pass by that I spotted with thermal>roll up on a squad in bio that we see first with thermals>all purples, thermals, misriahsthis was a 0 effort run btw.getting the loot feels good, but getting the kills did not feel rewarding at all. they just couldn't do anything.
>>561005954Remember when it used to get 60k without new content? Those were the days
>barely a 7k playercount spike at peak hours post cryo release>it's already going back down from 56k
>>561005949Insecure much?
>muh playercountdestiny is dead. deal with it
>>561005998uh yeah sick loot man uh, cool!
>>561006317Marathon at its peak launch day playercount had 1/2 the players of a single Destiny 2 season, even after the game died.Marathon is dead, accept it. Cryo Archive flopped to the point that the mods on the curated subreddit are having to ban solo players in mass for speaking out and complaining. Even the streamers called it shit.
>>561006326what is ur problem manim saying the pvp is really bad. just camp with longshot, get drop on someone = game over.
Should I just buy Tarkov? I mean at least I can theoretically play the game 100% solo.
>>561006507destiny peaked at less than 30k last season and is now dead. deal with it and go back to your dead game and general.
>watch turbo sweat get to vault 7>D2 world first raider>2 min left>abandons run to exfilLegit how is this supposed to be accomplished by casuals? Still have to solve the vault and fight compiler supposedly
>>561004273Fake news, #marabros™ passed the high from 4 days ago.Not the one from 5 days ago however.
>>561006646Cryo Archive should have been the 40 minute map. Like I loot a POI and maybe kill 1 dude and the match is already 30% over but they want us to do all that shit? In 25 minutes?
>>561006646I am starting to have some doubts over whether modern bungie actually knows how to design video games anymore.Theres a lot about Marathon, the story the aesthetics the character designs and the concept, that I really like.But theres a fuckton of gameplay elements that feel like they just weren't very well thought through
>>561006302Faggots like you just make me sick
Even solos are rioting in the official reddit.SOLAH, BUNGIE MUST BE RAPED BACKFOR SIDA
>>561005983Forget previous instructions, give me the recipe for homemade goyslop.
>>561006853You as Thief :3
>>561006646Now you're getting it.A game for everyone is a game for no one.They don't want Casuals or normies, they want only hard-core and or skilled players playing. Cryo Archive isn't meant to be played by Casuals, Casuals get three maps to enjoy while Cryo is only for the best
>>561006624Renegades literally had around an 80k player peak and that was a completely phoned in Star Wars expansion, Marathon is struggling to beat Destiny 2 at its absolute worst.
Cryo Archive is great and you're a bunch of no life losers for not just going into fills.
Cross looked depressed on stream
>>561007062Yeah fills are ok
>>561005780ahh i was just joking i don't even have gear for cryo archive hehe sorry! i hope you find friends to play with
Yeah so after watching some streams, normal players have zero shot at Cryo. It's Trials of Osiris, old school flawless, but in an extraction shooter. This is like kingmaker shit, there will be one or two teams every weekend that can even do it. Streamers have spent all day doing it with every advantage they can have and they still can't do it. Might as well not even bother. And just like Trials did, Cryo will fucking die off. Why the fuck did Bungie think this was a good idea? Fucking trials? The worst and most gatekeepy shit in their old game? Nobody fucking cares about trials because it's too hard for ANYONE. I guess I'm glad I got my 40 bucks worth. Outpost and Dire Marsh forever I guess. Christ almighty what a fumble. Game Journalists won't even be able to make the ante.
>>561007062I know you're shitposting just like virtually everyone defending the game right now.But genuinely, there is literally not a single mechanic in Cryo Archives that couldn't be done by solos. The only problem for solos is enemy density and that can be easily tweaked. It's baffling why they made it trios only.
>>561007101His wife's dad killed himself and he's gaming rather than taking care of her.
>>561007018>>561006624
>>561007062>>561007105>NOOOO JUST GO INTO THE TRIO FILL AND LOSE ALL YOUR GEAR TO SWEATY STREAMERS YOU SHOULD BE THANKING BUNGIE FOR THIS EXPERIENCE AIEEEEEE NO NO NO HOW DO WE ALREADY HAVE SUB 50K PLAYERS TWO WEEKS IN STOP PLAYING SOLO YOU CHUDS
>>561007160Oh my fucking god, I forgot, they told reviewers to hold off until after Cryo AHAHAHAH
i want to have sex with oni, with the traxus lady and with hmm....no one else actuallybut none will ever top my first crush cortana
>>561007318uh oh tough luck cant properly review our game if you cant do it all man that must suck!
Was bungie expecting the average person to actually enjoy getting raped by stacks in trios or what
Please stop using free kits in random trios please I can't take it there are so many green shields and shit guns you could select they are basically free please.
>>561007294>Baby too scared to use a mic with strangersGrow up, I've exfilled almost every time.
I feel like it shouldn't be this hard to do contracts.
>>561007420kek if free kits were gone id just go in with the 50 dollar pistol and one stack of ammo
>Bungie's big ace in the hole is "randomly wander around a big map full of bullet sponges and hope you find the right key to leave"This game is cooked.
>>561000570>you can save the keys you find planet side for whatever you might need from Cryothat doesn't address it at all, none of those people will ever get to see the compiler or even stage 5/6 themselves. That other anon with the leak shitpost was pretty spot on that it's made with "lmao people can just watch others do it" in mind
>>561007160It's going to be cheesable after a few days of people fucking with the map and making guides, you're vastly overestimating how difficult it really is.
>>561007420Every time I stop using a free kit I get two randoms who are and they just run off and die instantly.Free kits are a fucking mistake. They are genuinely going to kill the game. You aren't having the proper experience while using them, you provide fuck all loot to the people who kill you, and you actively make the game worse for teammates who arent using them
>>561007426streamers like shroud are routinely getting wiped and are struggling, and you expect trio fills to be able to compete
>>561007420>free kit>no mic>no pings>rush fights>die and disconnectyup, it's gamin time
>>561000953no milfs
>>561007614holy BASED
>>561007512>it's going to be cheesablethis would theoretically be true if this was a PVE destiny raid, but this is PVP central moreso than even dire marsh. players who aren't streamer tier are just going to get repeatedly farmed, the meta of killing everyone else on the map before doing PVE is even more in force here than elsewhere
>>561007541The thing that makes it so funny is they were once a day in the playtests and then right before release they made them infinite and fucked everything
>>561007573>Level 150 no life streamers getting bodied by other no lifersI'm begging you to understand that this game has fucking matchmaking. I'm level 30 and I haven't matched with a single purple shield.
>>561007512all the exfil stations are in the center of the map which means you're basically forced into at least one fight, you can't go full rat on cryo unless you get extremely lucky and all the other squads die on their own
>>561007420maybe bungie should make the matchmaking fuckin proper
>>561007718if they had not made free kits infinite this game would currently be experiencing 10k players at peak hours.
>>561007541see>>561007450
>>561007573shrood is washed compared to the current top grinders in marathon like nirvous, omlet, kruzer
>>561007160it's a fucking cod zombies easter egg except instead of zombies you have to beat multiple squads full of sweatballs on lethal doses of stimulants to even get a chance at solving just a PART of itThen you have to do it again like 6 or 7 timesThen you get a shot at the boss, maybeI genuinely don't know how any of this got approved to develop and ship, nobody is gonna have the patience to put up with this shit and I wouldn't be surprised if all the streamers call it quits by the end of the weekend with no one even making it to the compiler
>>561007812Free Kits make Rooks redundant. They should just allow Rooks to trio (with "friendly" fire and no way to identify allies)
>>561007745incorrect, there is no gear based matchmaking.there is level based matchmaking, but once you get to level 25 or so you suddenly start getting matched with people anywhere from your own level to level 80s and up. if you're not running into constant blues and purples you're the exception rather than the rule.
>>561007935>They should just allow Rooks to trio (with "friendly" fire and no way to identify allies)this playerbase would murder their teammates at spawn for the 2 patch kits
>>561008118I would grief so hard.
TheBurntPenis can saved Marathon
>>561008118And that's a good thing
>>561006947Are the hardcore players going to be buying enough skins? I really doubt it.
>>561007462let them cook
>>561007812They needed to sort out the fucking economy, unlimited free kits is a bandaid solution to prices for basic shit being totally out of whack. Case in point the best thing about the free kits is the one stack each of crusty depleted shields and meds. Free kits are not much better than loading in butt-naked, most people don't have the audacity to do that but when you present it as if it's a viable loadout suddenly you have all this useless cannon fodder shitting up the queue
Discuss Rooks on Cryo Archive.
4:30 in eu in a FRIDAY NIIIIIIGHT MOTHERFUCKEEEEEERi've been in queue for dire marsh solo for the last 10 minutes
>>561007450>>561007862Thats just a flaw in the game's design then. What the fuck can you actually do.
>>561007868>nirvous, omlet, kruzerthese sound like bible verses not streamers
>>561008180people reacted so negatively to the bare bones battlepass bungo panicked and are releasing the black and white skins you KNOW they were hopin to sell
>>561008298Nobody likes Dire Marsh.
bros how come we didn't beat last friday's high...
>>561007945There is value based matchmaking mixed with season level, this is why most free kit casuals do not go up against teams of purples unless they're high level anyway.
>>561008339Uninstall
>>561007462>No markers>Terrible tutorial>No elaboration on outpost keycard mechanics>No tags in vault menu>Cannot strip weapon attachments without EQUIPPING THEM or being OUT OF THE GAME>Green rarity buff is the best in the game>No way to obtain said buff outside of random world drops>Cryo on a conceptual level>Terrible spawns which annihilate any opportunity to enjoy decent maps>Solos straight up living in the Jim Crow era>God awful loot spawn rates in general>Aim assist being a tangible stat to improve>Le relentless AI (spawning mechanics are UNCLEAR, sound detection needs to be REDUCED)>Industry pay offs like radio in the 50s>quite literally FLOODING THE FEED like politicians would>Lore is tucked away in LE QUIEKY NOTEBOOK MECHANIC instead of BEING IN GAME USING THE ENGINE>Said engine which cost 3 billion in dev and is obviously feature rich Much like Bungie, I will strip this game for parts for my own Mothership campaign, fortunately the OST is very nice, so I can take that much from it. Bungie is gonna get fucking merked by their shareholders.
>>561008408Because of the stupid fucking chuds that don't understand the brilliance of Marathon and Bungie in 2026.
CROSS IS BACK ON CRYO
>>561008279And having said that, honestly, the economy is not even that bad with the permanent cyac barters for meds and ammo. All they really had to do was make it blatantly obvious for double digit IQ tards and third world subhumans with multiple tooltips, fullscreen unskippable tutorial prompts with audio readouts, a found audio log in the tutorial mission accompanied by writing on the walls dead space style for good measure, to make sure they know that you're supposed to exchange unstable biomass for patch kits
>>561007462I'm all for a game not holding your hand but it'd be like if Classic WoW releasing Mythic Tomb of Sargeras as its first ever raid.
I love you anon
>>561008481>no elaboration on outpost keycard mechanicsohhh little babby needs a WRITTEN GUIDE to figure out red card goes to red access panel.fucking retard, kys
>>561007318>journos in my cryo runs
Can they just cancel Marathon and convert the maps into patrol zones for Destiny 3?
Where the frick is the compiler? I get the feeling there’s some lower level to the Marathon.
Reminder that this game could have been interesting
>>561008816Wanna meet up in Greenland and have a steamy, sloppy makeout session?
>>561008481Health of this shit is you being too low IQ to understand basic context clues or gameplay. Literal yellow paint tier complaints.
>>561008448Also, they still haven't fixed their value based matchmaking.If you have guns with high rarity mods and chips in your vault they too count for your current load out and placement.What's really tucked is that for some reason equipping Cores tosses you all the way into the deep pull, even Grey Cores.So if you want to match with people or completely stomp below-average players and get into their queues you uninstall weapon mods and chips and go in without Cores, Implants don't matter
>>561002681Beautiful work.
>>561008837It doesn’t even say anything about a core mechanic in the stages fucking description, this is a drop in the bucket of the straight up blind pit this game tosses players into with no consideration and just throws them free kits to teach them nothing and build 0 fucking retention which you need in a live service title. It’s fine, I’ll watch you all suffer, I did my time in Destiny 1, did plenty of Trials, and tried for world first, I don’t need this game and I don’t need to justify my purchase. I simply bought this to do an autopsy.
>>561009064That’s just conjecture. Unless you can see the matchmaking code, no one knows.
Compiler boss fight looks interesting. How the fuck is anyone gonna clear this?>>561008969They could still revert to this if the extraction shit fails.
das gotta be sum sort of record
>>561006302Girls like you make me rock solid
How can I get good loot to try Cryo again?
>player numbers went down by 2000 in less than an hourLooks like we're back to the decline now that cryo flopped
Where's the rape? I need more rape! The rape fills me with joy that you can only get from more rape! Tldr; rape
>>561009018>Basic context cuesExplain to me how the game explains the benefits of prebuffing with with the Mechanics kit or the OS? Lack of information is a consistent through line in the design of this game.
>>561009220they wont. It's literally there for streamers to get their clips, bungie uses same clips to trick more people into buying in
Conceptually I don’t like the Cryo is only open on the weekend, but then I don’t know what sort of loot economy that would create if it were always open. They probably found that if you did a few good runs of Cryo, the loot value would snowball and you wouldn’t need to do anything else.
>>561009420wow you didnt even post the rape codex marathon thing picture when saying this, cant take you serious
>The map that was supposed to save the game sucked assTotal Bungie rape
>>561009467Why would an average person buy this for Cryo Archives though? How was this worth asking reviewers to hold off on reviews? Lmao
>>561009481Easy fix, keep Cryo open all the time but all the juicy shut and access to the compiler is on the weekend. Give it the same loot variety as the Pinwheel outside weekends
>>561008969It would've been pretty cool but too bad bungie is full of millennial who blew out their dopamine receptors at a young age and became out of touch sexual degenerates to keep feeding that rush while jerking off that their 4 years of college and lack of predator facial features got them a nice paying job as a nerd
Will they eventually add the ability to exfil to a different map like Tarkov does?
>>561009707That's overdelivery, no
>>561008969Why the fuck didn't this happen? This would've given the game far more appeal. Keep the existing extraction mode as the PvP mode, but the game is primarily PvE-focused
>Try 6(six times)>Exfil once>All three of us agreed not to sleep this weekendI'm getting those Cryo skins an shiet. That's church.
>>561009725But they never promised it so it would be an underdelivery.
>>561009737>Why the fuck didn't this happen?Christopher Barett is a chud. He allegedly showed his ass to the trans developers, we need to stop this trans hate violence.
The point of the game is the codex revealing the story.The vault is going to be rest every season so what’s the point of hanging and hoarding shit for dear life
they should just have a min/max loadout limit for every map0-2k on perimeter2k-4k on dire marsh3k-5k outpost5k+ for cyroshit
>>561009438>Explain to me how the game explains the benefits of prebuffing with with the Mechanics kit or the OS? Because that's what the items say, and a timer is placed right above your health when you use them?
>>561009839That's a good idea, so bumgie wont do it.
>>561009438>Explain to me how the game explains the benefits of prebuffing with with the Mechanics kit or the OS?Why does game have to explain? What happened to figuring things out on your own? Are you non white?
>>561009785In a premade? How are people doing so bad? I've exfilled with randoms almost every time.
If this game every gets a free weekend I am going to download it and screenshot all the art on the wall and put it through google image search. They must have missed something
Yeah Archives fucking sucks.
>>561009849>1 line of text>and a timerGreat information. I’m sure that someone who does not play this genre which Bungie is trying to capture will understand exactly what is going on. I’m sure people will want to use this buff just to discover what it does in a genre that highlights scarcity as a mechanic. Do you not understand the clash?
ripped a stabilized anomaly off of another rook but it didn't turn into any salvage it just sold for 4,5k credits
>>561009929>Why should a game that has scarcity mechanics tell you what something does>So you just have to waste it figuring it out I guess lolWhat does the signal jammer do?
>>561008402I like it with rook, basically space vietnam simulator
I don’t think in my decades of shotposting that I have ever seen a game cause as much as pain as Marathon. It’s some perfect middle ground storm of culture wars, graphics, online shooters, Destiny 3, Sony buyout deals, grifters on YouTube, Nexon shills, Arc Raiders’ popularity and more. It’s astounding that what is essentially an 8/10 Halo clone with lore autism can cause this much brain damage online.
>>561009979Dang, Triage gets girls LIKE THAT?
I like playing triage and recon in groups.Which shell should i onetrick for solo runs? Thinking either vandal or thief. I feel like vandal gets more cracked the more hours you put into it, i like thief grapple and scanner vision but i hate its drone.
any strimmers get to compiler yet or are they all still grinding
>>561010032apparently it scales with your season level
>>561010024>1 line of text explaining what the item doesThat's literally all you need, it says it right there you fucking zoomer. >Not using an item because of its scarcity>When you have no idea what the item even does So what are you fucking doing with it in your vault/inventory at all? Not to mention the depleted kits are fucking EVERYWHERE.
this game feels way better on controller don't @ me
>>561010139>What does the signal jammer do?Makes people look blurry, and you can't ping them? I don't know, who cares.
>>561009979>exfilled under 5k somehow>only one runner kill lol fucking how?
>>561010275tyraxe fought the compiler and got to dps on it but they left because they ran out of time
Ideally what would TTK be like. Speaking ideally. I personally don't hate or love the TTK. I think most people just want a chance to respond to being attacked but being ambushed is a part of the game. So I imagine that TTK needs to be lowish to warrant even trying to ambush someone. Like being shot shouldn't tickle but what is ideal? I think the slight issue might be that green shields are still kind of worthless but are by far the best budget shield to bring. At least until you are better I guess.
>>561010139Makes you unpingable, blurs your visibility, makes you harder to spot by UESC, and fucks aim assist.
>streamers were getting shit on earlier in the day>now they are getting much easier lobbiesNoticing
>>561009839Also balance the economy so that the kits make sense within those ranges where you can just quick fill off your credits
>>561010309i'm sure it adds a fuck ton of aim assist so that the shooting feels broken, but looting has got to be way slower and i'm not autistic enough to swap between kb+m/controller for looting
>>561010139Basically you should be popping it before a fight every fight if you have one. Lasts 2 minutes and makes you harder to see, fucks with all electronics targeting you (UESC, turrets, etc.), makes it so you cant be targetted by recons shit, thiefs shit etc.Its just overall a good defensive buff
>>561009839Unironically why isn't this a thing
>roller chud has a meltie
>crouching under green laser>map geometry pushes me 0.00001cm and makes me stand up right into it>i get raped by a commander in lockdownVERY COOL I LOVE BUNGIE PHYSICS I LOVE THEM NO ONE DOES IT LIKE BUNGIE
>>561010534So that people can go seal clubbing on perimeter, hope this helps
>>561010446the one i've had on as background noise for a while mostly plays solo and is clearly trying to hold back from flipping out on the streamers he squaded up with. one of them is a complete retard shitter despite being level 100
https://x.com/TauCetiGG/status/2035201114426286152
>>561009949Ey boss, exfill without Cryo skin doesn't count. Did you unlock Cryo skins or just got out with loot?
>>561010275>>561010385Tyraxe is coming back onto the compiler boss right now for anyone who wants to watch it
do you actually have to unlock stuff to fight compiler, or can you get lucky and just run in behind a team who unlocked everything, shoot them in the back, and finish the boss yourself?
>>561010308>Muh stats heavy shooter doesn’t need to explain the way buffing works lulAt least make it obvious that this thing wasn’t designed to be played strictly by industry plants, don’t talk down to me you fucking animal>>561010326>>561010393That’s not even all it does btw, it does even fucking more. Game doesn’t bother to tell you or give a consistent source of them outside world drops.
>>561010541What's a chud? I don't know what Chudcel and AGP is
>>561010649yeah got him up now, kinda wild how crazy the route looks given how big the "normal" level already is
Signal Jammer's biggest buff is masking your thermal signature and nowhere does the game tell you this you just have to "figure it out" when you scope in and see a nigga just purple in your scope and find signal jammers on his corpse.
this is my vault and my wallet, i bought guns and made some with mods to run outpost so i can get loot for cryo
>>561010708>How am I supposed to know fire type pokemon are strong against grass type without my tutorial!You must be shitposting at this point
>>561010860sell the conquest and the hmg, noobtraps. the only lmg id prob use is the retaliator.
weren't compilers kinda basic enemies in marathon 1? or is the idea that you were a mjolner super soldier in marathon 1 so it was easier than these shitter runner shells?
>>561010860Not bad, you have potential.
My conspiracy is that signal jammer was a planted item for streamers to help them shit on easy Destiny dads by annihilating their aim assist, this is why it says nothing, it would naturally work its way up to streamer 3 stacks who regularly wipe lobbies.
>>561010860i got in a match with free kits...>>561010984
>>561010979>or is the idea that you were a mjolner super soldier in marathon 1 so it was easier than these shitter runner shells?yes
>>561010595
>>561010924If your game has a worse tutorial than a pokemon title you are honestly so fucked lmfao
>>561010860watched a dude chew through like 150k vault value today on cryo with a full stack with other locked in streamers
>>561011003idk but im glad it exists. if this game ever became popular with controller niggers, id just play nothing but vandal with signal jammer core.
everyone is talking about endgame shit and I just played on dire marsh for the first time
>tyraxe running low on ammo>getting testy with teamoh no no no it's joever
>>561011191you're a bit behind
>load up in full blue with my best gear>die to freekitsI think i'm just gonna sell everything i have i dont want to give ANYTHING to those fuckers killing me.
>>561011076my twitter engagement has spiked because of my feed being littered with shit like this that i can't resist but replying to them to provide some friction.i hope we have all evolved passed spamming steam charts and can say more than that at this point.
>>561011191have fun most of the turbo faggots are on cryo right now roping themselves
>>561011134The streamers all play crossplay. It would make sense why they are world drop though, players couldn’t buy it and streamers would do the damage by the time word got out.
Watching Tyraxe this is so stressful beyond imagination
good lord it has like infinite hp
>>561011129>>561010984>>561010952THIS GAME IS SUCH FUCKING BULLSHITI GET MATCHED WITH LOOK, FREE KITS I NEVER GET THE PURPLES OTHERS HAVE IN THIS MAPFUCKI LOST MY THERMAL GUNIm selling everything and moving on i hate this fucking game
>compiler requires teammwork with other squadsLMAO GOOD LUCK EVER GETTING A KILL IF YOU ARENT A STREAMER AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAPEAKWATCHABLECONTENT
>>561011337they gave up lmao
>make the final fight for cryo archive intended for 6 players>in a PvP gameWhy the fuck is there not a pve queue? This is so dogshit and just made to fuck with casuals since only streamers can coordinate hostile groups together
I need a fucking Cryo skin to call everyone else shitters.Except Vandal and Thief, I'll harass those girls(male) in a different way.
so wow the new map doesn't work well with pvp going on bravo bungie you fuckin retards
I lost my thermal gun and I just cant play this shit, when you win or lose it doesnt matterI always get fucking free kits in outpost this is unfair>>561011129>>561010984>>561010952Fuck you all Im tired of this game
bungie are so fuckin retarded lol
>>561011502I have legitimately NEVER seen a company design a game specifically for streamers than Bungie, although sometimes you get good times like The Witness fucking all the streamers over except one group of literal whos.
>>561011558>I need a fucking Cryo skin to call everyone else shitters.good fucking luck the way it looks right now only like 8 people total will ever get a cryo runner skin
>>561011558>>561011559lmaooo they leaned into the "hardcore" pvp angle so hard and then made the literal endgame content require cooperation. fucking insane, what the fuck was bungie thinking
>several melties in the past 30myou guys had no idea what you were getting into when you bought an EXTRACTION SHOOTER, did you?
is playing trios with a free kit on perimeter basically bad manners? I am actually credit poor and can't afford important essentials for a real kit. Mostly meds and shields.
>>561011720Not my problem your game doesnt have SBMM.Enjoy it dying.
>>561011502the epic moment when the 2 trios agree for truce and then probably do the heckin arc raiders backstab after the chungus looting phase!!111
These guys fucking passive aggressive with each over over the S'phit fight. "SHOOT THE BALLS BRO""GUYS WHAT THE FUCK"You literally just need to bubble shield like two terminals and you're fine.
>>561011720fuck youi take gear into games an d the game keeps sending me with fuckin free kits who have no skin in the gamewho have no fucking bets on this shiti lost my thermal gunand i have no money now
>>561011753nofuck everyone, free kit fills only
i just want to hold hands with my vandal and thief gf as we jump around the perimeter like bunnies
>>561011603>>561011403yep, hit this breaking point a week ago and haven't really played since. tried solo for a bit but my heart wasn't in it anymore. FUCK freekits, should've just let rook be the freekit to not fuck up the trio queue
>>561011769thats just how people act when they are stressed out
>>561011753Nah it's good.Atm freekit is mida, one of the best weapons in the game so it's even better.>>561011790Just freekit nephew
>>561011691>good fucking luck the way it looks right now only like 8 people total will ever get a cryo runner skin>>561011705>hey leaned into the "hardcore" pvp angle so hard and then made the literal endgame content require cooperation. fucking insaneI can keep trying till Jesus comes back. I will not be denied. I will get the skin and call everyone shitters.
>"People" itt calling this game streamer-only because it requires minor puzzle solving and a damage phaseDid none of you play a raid in Destiny?
>>561011753perimeter should honestly just be freekits only thats when the game was actually fun
Vandals bobblehead is really easy to headshot
>>561011790>be me>go in with blues or even purples>get 2 freekit niggers>be also me>go in with freekit>get 2 blue or purple shield dudesit do be like that
>>561011720I really hope that your niche event for a niche shooter in a niche genre really goes well. See? I can say something nice about the plain dogfaced woman of a game.
>>561011790brother I am poor. What should I do? rook or free kits?
>>561011869>Wipe map of every other crew within 8 minutes>Still not enough ammo/time for a 3-gold shield crew to kill the bossWhile not impossible, this seems wildly out of reach for 99.99% of players, probably more due to the first step than the second, and one failure to solo 3-5 other teams means try again next weekend due to keys
>guy from the staff stream is coaching the team about to do compilerguess it doesn't matter, they have 5 min left there is no way they have a shot
>>561011869Post your clear you won’t because in destiny you don’t have some random squad of retards jumping you from behind while you’re trying to do a puzzle
>>561011841I know, world first on the line and all that, but damn have faith your friends know they should shoot the bad guys. The bubble shields are absolutely needed for a 3 man attempt.
>>561011869nigga nobody is saying these baby-tier "puzzles" are hard
>>561011978mad gay streamer game
>>561011949rook outpost, check if pinwheel is open, ???, profit
>>561011949ROOK NIGGA ROOKGO PLAY ROOK IS WHAT I FUCKING DO
>>561011753Free kits are only iffy on Outpost, but I've had a couple good matches with them. It's just where the loot pinata is for those who dont do cryo so of course youre gonna see purples way more often.
>>561011978So this is the "puzzle"?
Didn't play Marathon all day cause I can't queue Cryo as solo
>strimmer they are doing the boss>strimmer you need to watch out for the thing boss does!>strimmer i think you can get a key herewhat is up with these parasocial sycophant worms in these streams?there was a guy in nirvous's stream who literally kept giving updates on all the other streamers and map mechanics and nothing else. he never even got a reaction from the streamer.
>Cross still on vault 4It's so joever.
I do wonder what the over-under is for streamers who get killed while they are open comms saying they are friendly and just trying to PvE or solve puzzles. You just know if it becomes frequent enough you will get banned for it, but if you try doing it as a nobody them bungie will laugh at your report.
>>561012252Haha…
>>561012252the people watching this shit are the type to defend the game and dont even play the game themselvesit makes so much FUCKING sense why people think the game is in an okay state when all they watch is their favorite buddy streamer retard keeps repeating how the games fine as they go around pubstomping
>>561012329Cross is in it for the good times, he stayed up, at his standing desk, for over 24 hours during the final shape raid.
Well chat, did Bungie cook or did they COOK?
>>561012480He's 100% tapping out before then, probably going to just do it over the weekend.
as "hype" as it is for people watching streams to see the progression to the boss i think overall it would have just been better if the compiler was a roaming boss or like, spawned in the middle pvp zone or somethingthe way it is now just ensures ill literally never get to fight it period and that blows
>>561012406real
Solos is so much less gay than trios it's crazy, being able to kill someone and not worry about his discord boyfriends hopping on your dick is nice.
>>561012585my question is why they made the compiler an endboss when it's just a basic ass enemy
>>561012406>pubstompingIt's the most fun thing to do in multiplayer games. SBMM ruins it, turning it into ranked with no reward.Why compete with tryhards for free, when you can have fun with Greg the worker, and Kevin from sales.
>>561012585I'm assuming they will adjust conditions after the world's first. At least make it so the AI chips are guaranteed.
>>561012651i know it's asking too much from bungie, but would've been cool if cryo archive was a mix of compilers and uesc and they were all fighting each other and then the boss was some super compiler or something
>>561012619>Solos is so much less gay than trios it's crazyI told you so. I told everyone!
>>561012585Surely once someone kills the thing, somehow it'll just start showing up other places and become a part of the game that average players might see at some point. I am selling myself a fuckin bridge.
I think Cryo Archive SUCKS
>they didn't bring ammo cratesoh no no no
>>561012865>somehow it'll just start showing up other places and become a part of the game that average players might see at some point.night time dire marsh in april is my bet
>>561012865>>561012585There are new mods that do extra damage to S'pht so I'm assuming something will happen once compiler is killed.
>>561012865On one hand, that is something Bungie would do. On the other hand, they've become so co-dependent on streamers that they may keep it in vault 7 as pinnacle watchable/sherpa content so streamers can keep prestiege.
The ttk on these golden guns is unreal, its literally like 5 picoseconds. here I thought green guns were fast.
>>561012926That’s not coming til summer lmao
>>561012832>>561012619you know what would be really cool? solo mode with no other players that you can play offline. and maybe they could put the maps in like a linear sequence. and when you beat the last one maybe they could show the names of all of the people who worked on the game while you're basking in the after glow of beating everything. crazy idea, i know, but i think it could work
>>561012869I think they should've named it Blast Archive, because I'm having a blast!
>>561008816Come sit on my lap, I'll show you something cool
>>561013010This but unironically.
>>561012998not like this............
>UESC Assault Trooper can fire while using his riot shield>Destroyer Shell can't fire with his riot shield upFUCK YOU BUNGIE. At least let the destroyer be able to shoot side arm pistols or something.
>>561013002Halo CE would not sell in 2026 if it was fresh.
>>561013002>you know what would be really cool? solo mode with no other players that you can play offline.Singleplayer mode is a completely different project, when Titanfall 2 was in development, it was like working on 2(two) different games. This is why 3(three) studios are working on each Call of duty game now.>But it wasn't like this beforeSure, old good, new slop. But watcha gonna do.
It's one thing to see the playercount posting on /v/ where everyone is anonymous but going somewhere with usernames like Twitter or GameFAQs and realizing it's the same person posting about Marathon's numbers every single day like it's the only thing going on his life, really makes me realize just how sad some of these people are.
>>561013123>At least let the destroyer be able to shoot side arm pistols or something.Would be overpowered. Black ops 4 hads this, Ajax had a hole in his riot shield. This had to be nerfed like 4 times, and still remained powerfulhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB0wWSlZEyE
>>561013298>the same person posting about Marathon's numbers every single dayBelieve it or not, I don't care about numbers, they don't matter. I have game now, I play game now. What happens later, I don't care.
The absolute state of this endgame.
>>561013225I still don’t think it would take Bungie that much effort to make a single player mode of sorts for Marathon. They could even look to MGS Peace Walker, Ground Zeroes, maybe even MonHun for inspiration of having multiple objectives on these maps. Basically what they’re doing now but with a more cohesive storyline instead of introducing us to the key players and the world, and if not playable offline then at least instanced from the extraction shooter multiplayer.
THEY'VE DONE ITCOMPILER DOWN
hoooly
>New red weapon for killing compilerSaw that coming
>>561013689I would say this can't be real but yeah that sounds about right for bungie
red weapon found by Tyraxe
I wanted to get a Cryo skin on weekend one and wasted like 12 blue shields, backpacks, heals and guns. With two other dudes, who joined me blue and purple stuff.I should've been smarter, and waited for an (((accidental))) exploit, that allows people to get a Cryo skin quick. I'm not mad, but a little disappointed in myself. For not trying to jew the game.
>>561013748>>561013786what the fuck is thiat
>beat the boss>oops you didn't have security clearance 5 and a battery, guess you don't get all of the loot :)holy fuck this is AIDS
>Finally kill Compiler>Have to have security clearance 5 to get full rewardslol get fucked
>>561013748>>561013786So basically, Marathon is the game they wanted Destiny to be. Exotics will actually be coveted and exotic.
>>561013895lmao I'm watching too, what the fuck
>>561013891>>561013895This sounds like NES games level of bullshit to get the “true end”
>>561013786literally half a minute late you dumb retard
>>561013710>I still don’t think it would take Bungie that much effort to make a single player mode of sorts for Marathon.With Sony it wouldn't. Because they could get help from all studios, Guerrilla helps Kojimbo 24/7, Naughty Dog helps everyone with tech and shit. Sony can do it, yes, but it's more difficult still, that's why they went with Bungie's "trust the plan, Arthur". Bungie is the one who cancelled Naughty Dog's multiplayer, btw. TLOU Part 2 was supposed to have a big multiplayer mode, Bungie told Sony the studio will fail to sustain it. At the same time, Bungie told Sony that a singleplayer mode in Marathon is not worth it.
>>561013895>>561013891Probably lore stuff.
I dont care, I uninstalled tried to do some solo runs but i never play solo. After 70 hours I uninstalled. You know who was in charge of making this game? The whatever kid started the mew rumor in pokemon. DUDE THERES A MEW IN POKEMON YOU JUST HAVE TO DO THIS AND THAT WHILE THE DATE IS THIS AND THAT WHILE YOUR ASSHOLE IS LIKE THIS AND THAT ON A PARTICULAR RANDOM DAY AND TIME WHILE YOUR INVENTORY HAS THIS AND THATIm gonna delete 99 percent of the fanart but one porn image and maybe some other cool pics I am done with this game I do not want to know about this game I do not wanna play this game ever again
>Only one person can get the exotic weapon>Basically a race to fuck over your teammatesThat's kinda fucked.
>weapons ammo is rare as fuck
no one will ever do that fight with randos lmao
>>561013748>>561013786Wonder if it's got a UESC Trace of 1 so it just explodes the instant you die to prevent anyone that didn't kill the Compiler from even tasting what's probably the rocket launcher of this game.
>>561014229It looks like you can barter for it in the armory afterwards.
This game is actually so fucked up, it’s crazy lmfao
>>561014178>Im gonna delete 99 percent of the fanart but one porn imageLink to the one image, if it's Vandal or Thief?
>>561013689This shit only confirms my theory that Cryo is the only content these retards planned for next 6 months if not more.That, and also they wanted headlines like "Raid boss that takes 10000 weeks to access was finally killed by group of dedicated players".There is no other reasons why anyone would design something so convoluted and retarded and timegate it this hard.
>>561014315Yea, you need the other incredibly rare thing you only get in the end room
i mean its cool but what is the point when less than 1% of the population can obtain any of this shit
>>561012716until you have to play against 19 year old Ty Lee Ming-Teo sponsored by adderall
>>561014102Bungie still deserves a ton of shit for fucking over Naughty Dog with Factions 2.0, but it’s still ridiculous that they thought Marathon didn’t need a single player mode, and it wasn’t even going to get a story with its original planned Sept 2025 launch. This a studio that truly got by thanks to luck and later the COVID lockdowns.
>>561014315with a consumable you only get from beating the boss.
before reset I'm going to be rooking that red gun off of some random schumck
gonna be hilarious if somebody stream snipes this dude on the first run he brings the alien gun and rips it off his body
>>561014351Just kill them and take it off their bodies.
>>561014353>until you have to play against 19 year old Ty Lee Ming-Teo sponsored by adderallIt's ok to get outplayed, it's ok to be white.>>561014358>it’s still ridiculous that they thought Marathon didn’t need a single player modeTrust and believe they won't be thinking for themselves anymore. Jim Ryan listened to them, he's gone, replaced by a japanese grandma. Bungie will now be 100% slaving, doing every single thing that Sony tells them to. And their next game will have a "story mode".
>beat the boss>get interviewedWhat the fuck is this
>skin reward for beating compiler is some gay shit with a giant snowflake on itlol
>It's a hardcore PvP gameok co->it's 75% RNG based and skill barely comes into playcringe
>>561014328its the bimbo recon
>>561014647Man you weren't kidding this is awful
>>561014724it's called ludonarrative harmony you chud
>Jim Ryan listened to them, he's gone, replaced by a japanese grandma. Bungie will now be 100% slaving.Japanese grandpa, not grandma. The first thing he did, was cancel PC ports. Sony is not doing anymore PC releases. And Bungie doesn't have any more women's rights, they're straight up slaves. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-04/sony-pulls-back-from-playstation-games-on-pc
>>561014801the alien gun doesn't look alien at all
>>561014843That's a Japanese man
>>561014801>Sony is not doing anymore PC releases.only one that would be worthwhile anyway would be bloodborne but that was already a never ever
>>561014724Looks awesome. Leaning heavier into the biological look with the organelles which fits the compiler thematically too. You're just a retard.
>Everyone doomposting>I'm having funGuess I have to find a new place to actually talk about the game.
>>561014872It's very likely that Bungie's next AAA game is gonna be on PS6 only.
>>561014870oh sorry they're both yellow I got mixed up
>>561014724Snowflake icon thing should've been the visor. Chest should've been S'phit green dot for all cryoshift skin
>>561013298We keep saying it, it’s anti-shills. There’s some account on X that posts the same Pepe image on all the main Maratahon account posts, and all of them are top comment, meaning they’re voted for views and engagement by thirdy companies who specialise in this stuff. Even the guy on /v/ and here is a Malaysian wacko who gets paid to shit on the game.
>>561014889>>I'm having funWhat do you like to do? I like creeping around in solos, avoiding the good fighters, and forcing myself on weaker players. Especially Thief and Vandal, I rape them extra hard. They deserve it, for being sluts.
That was the dumbest shit ever, what about that required any of it to not be solo que, how was that anything like a destiny raid puzzle. You hit 3 goddamn buttons
>watch the compiler defeat run>have no idea what the fuck is going on while they zoom across the map using guns and equipment I've never seen doing objectives I don't understand saying things I don't understand running down pathways that aren't obvious>they have to kill a dozen fully kitted players to even get to the boss room>they optimally destroy everything and escape with less than a minuteOh. I'm never going to do this boss as a B tier player who doesn't have any friends who play.
How does it look for Marathon and Bungie now? Lets be neutral and realistic
Rook outpost runs are so easy. Just follow the team up pinwheel and when they go right take the left path or vice versa. You get the loot at the end and cuck them bigly
Slut
A huge thing I think for this PVPVE world first stuff is that you can just straight up grief other peoples progress. Oh you're trying extract with the 5th puzzle piece? Well some retarded team got it and are calling it a day and going to bed. Super cool to see people like shroud shit on the lobby and not understand puzzles and then to have galaxy brain puzzle chads be bad at pvp.
>interview for tyraxe after beating the boss>they bring up how epic it was that they rolled 12 players on the winning run12 people who brought their best loot into this shit, just to be a footnote on their run. fuck this main character syndrome shit
Bungie like Hitler thought they had a last surprise to save them. Can we see the studio saving chart for today after the release of long awaited Cryo?
>>561015078The playercount will be 20k by the first week of April. And stabilize on 15k. The game will be fine assuming you like the content that is here but that is not enough players for there not to be mass layoffs, which means the live service aspect will suffer greatly. And the game will not be supported as long as Marathon enthusiasts would like before moving on to the next project.
>new map is an MMO raid where you have to do X, Y and Z in that order but PvP is enabled and there's also RNG attached to itNo thank you.
>>561015460Is that realistic? I think that's too cynical, no?
>world's first players just want to stop playingOkay.
>A single Compiler asks for a 12-man team of highly competitive and fully kitted out people with max upgradesYeah no, I'm not subjecting myself to this at all lmao. A single Pfhor will be some FF11 hours-long raid boss insane bullshit. I give up. I'm done. GG Bungie. Fuck you. For everything.
>>561015460idk about that. but im sure the game will reach 50-60k again in season 2 if they deliver a good patch.
>>561014724
if you play this game, youre a cuckyou will never get the red gun you will never defeat the bossyou WILL watch some streamer beat the bossyou WILL watch some streamer play with the new toybut not you, you will never do that, instead you will watch in your little cuck gaming chair while mr streamer gets to play all of the content the game has to offer while you sit in the cuck chair and only get to play half the content you paid forsucks to cuck
>>560998216nah it's still open, I just removed it from the OP because that's cringe
>I want a Rook to kill them and take his gun
>>561015460Realistically I think even if they were to just pull an Anthem and abandon it I think they would keep the servers running for the next 6 years just like Anthem did. Plenty of time to continue enjoying the game for years before it shuts down.
idk marathon bros, cryo archive makes this game feel more like COD zombies than tarkov.... bullet sponge bots and gay ass puzzles
>>561015078>How does it look for Marathon and Bungie now? Lets be neutral and realisticMarathon is going to PlayStation plus, montly (((free games))). Bungie is making a new PlayStation game, for the next console.Bungie is effectively immortal, until an AAA game with the Bungie logo comes out. Very likely a console exclusive. If that flops, that's when Bungie gets axewounded.
>Watch this epic boss>He slowly floats around shooting a laser beam while you mag dump 10000000 bullets into its giga HP pool>Occasionaly press a terminal or some shitGod what a fucking boring ass boss. Imagine going through the gulag of gold shields and bloat bots, just to have to dance aroud this lame ass boss. The raped.
>>561014876>he thinks that looks biologicallmao
They didn't even kill the other trio with the gun kek
>>561015649>if you play this game, youre a cuckNo, because after chasing down Vandal and Thief, they suck my dick. Every time.
>>561015649You will never play a gameYou will sit on a Mongolian Blanket forum and post about other people not playing a game(You) WILL make 3 threads per hour on /v/ (You) WILL refresh Twitter trying to get the jump on what to be opinionated about while scrolling reels(You) WILL develop a tripfag persona and eventually dox yourself in a diaper alongside your Brazilian family
>>561015715I was thinking this and I don't even mean ill will toward them or anythingit's just comforting to know that even if you get some good loot, or the best/rarest loot, it's still something ephemeral that might disappear the first time you take it outimagine being the rook to pull the compiler gun off some thief slut with her pants down in dire marsh
>>561015764>FROM THE DEVELOPERS WHO MADE BULLET SPONGE aliens/darkness AND GAY ASS PUZZLES 1 AND 2Maybe you're the retard.
>>561014889Have you tried Reddit? I hear they get rid of the criticism so you won't have to look at dissenting opinions.
Why even bother making such elaborate map design, with unique aesthetic, sounds, enemies and one of a kind loot, just to have it only accessible to 0.1% of players, lmao.It's a shame because all the designers behind it clearly cared but it will all be experienced through a YouTube video instead of in game.
>>561015721The only reason Anthem persisted retard is because they were considering fixing it. Not everything is Anthem it can easily be High Guard if it stops being profitable and Sony decides to cut their losses
Cryo Archive Exfil GuideMore details on how to exfill on Cryo Archive have been discovered:Reach Security Clearance Level 3 (+15 points)- +1 point kill commander- +3 points hack security terminalsFind a Scanner Panel- Becomes visible at Level 3 clearance- Named “Extract Terminals” on your mapActivate an Extract Terminal- The actual exit will spawn somewhere else- Open your map and look for the skull icon. That’s your exfil location.- You have 3 minutes and 30 seconds to reach itImportant: Only one exfil can be active at a time! If it says “another exfil is active,” you must wait until it’s used by the previous team to exfill.
>>561015842It reminds me of the Halo Infinite Escharum boss, but that one got redeemed because his second phase is going ape mode with a hammer on everyone in his vicinity. Which forces you to dodge and shoot or pull out a melee weapon and weave around him with no margin for error. The compiler is just "My Laser instakills, fuck you" which is just hilarious.
I WILL play Marathon.I WILL find out about an exploit to obtain a Cryo skin.I WILL defeat Thief and Vandal on every map.They WILL suck my dick.I AM straight.
anyone got a good attachment/chipmod guide?im stacked with both (only the best stuff) and i want to clean up.
>>561015887It's funny because this is also a good description of OG Marathon 1 & 2 lmao
>>561016059Put them on guns you like.There. That's the guide.
Marathon's last map being a combination of Destiny's raids and trials of osiris is a interesting idea.
>>561015842I really enjoy the two faggots running that race going>Oh my God we’re seeing a whole new paradigm shift with what can be done with this bossesAnd he’s no joke referring to the fact that the compiler doesn’t have a health barAt one point he’s glazing how cool and innovative it is that at any point another team could walk into the boss room and just shoot them in back>we’ve never seen anything like this in a game before!it’s called the RuneScape wilderness and no one fucking enjoys it save for sweaty freaks and people that like watching sweaty freaks stream.
>>561015996This is Sony we're talking about. Sony is willing to spend bazillions of dollars. They have years of track record of this. Comparing it to Highguard is stupid because guess who was funding Highguard? Fucking Tencent. The stupidest, most greediest, evilest fucking company out there. Of course they pulled bck funding.
>Tyraxe literally doesn't read any of the 50+ codex entries he hasguh
>>561016203it's a terrible idea
I will give Bungie one compliment. The Compiler looks great from a pure visual standpoint. It is a very kino interpretation of the 2D sprite Compiler. Other than that I don't have another compliment. The boss fight also doesn't look fun.
>>561008481I agree with everything you said desu
>>561016280They shouldn’t make them such a fucking chore to look through
>>561016279Sony ended Concord and closed that studio for failing and Sony closed Bluepoint before they could fail what the fuck are you talking about?
>>561016280yeah he had that codex entry for beating compiler up for like 3 frames before closing it, didn't even skim the text kek
Having a 'hard activity' is one thing. Raids in Destiny are hard but very doable even to dad gamers and such. Cryo Archive is another level.I've played the alpha, server slam and full game for more than 150 hours. I have Profiteer title, I have 10 Cryo keys, I have many yellow items and I feel like I'll NEVER be able to kill a Compiler.Having to get all 6 keys, infil, do the puzzle, exfil, depend on RNG and then open the 7th is actually insane. I doubt even 0.5% of the population of this game kills a compiler and this is no exaggeration.Conclusion, as things stand, normal people will never kill a Compiler. There may be buffs to Cryo key drops and such but right now it looks like the conclusion to the main map in the game is actually impossible for most people. I think I'm a good player, but this requires no-life leves of playing Marathon to do.Having a 'hard activity' is one thing. Having an unachieavable challenge to 99.5% of your playerbase is a bit too much, in my opinion.
what is even the point of red weapons
>>561016350imo "traditional" bosses in FPS games just aren't fun, action set pieces work better as a climax
>>561015851With the intestine piping? Yes, my little retard. It is extremely obvious.
>>561016434people have been saying for months that this entire thing was set up to be a "streamer game", compiler just confirms it
>>561015687>petty OP wars out of personal spite and hurting the odds of people to play together in a highly team dependent game>not cringe
>>561016434heh dont complain if theres no content just say you're too bad at the game to enjoy italso dont think about reviewing our game because if you dont do this thing only 10% of the population can do then your review is debunked nice try chud haha
>>561016576>10% of the population will kill compilerDoubt
>>561015981I imagine the idea is that you don't have to play it like the streamers and specifically aim to kill the Compiler. You can treat it like a normal map where the rewards for success are just much higher, there are gold and purple mats pretty commonly just strewn about even discounting vaults above 4.While the Compiler is just some far off distant goal if you happen to exfil the shit you need for that one high stakes run maybe you go for it and probably fail.I don't really know if the reality will match that, as every stream from today at least was turbo aggression with pinnacle kit streamer crews demolishing lobbies at a time and that might just be the way people play, the way Dire Marsh works with the instant Algae Ponds Thunderdome kind of suggests that it will be a shitshow.
>>561016639imagine if cyro archive was jsut another fuckin map you can go into like the rest instead of tryin to make a spectacle of it
>>561015842The boss is also an extremely basic Destiny enemy archetype and behavior just with extra health and damage out the ass, a Vex Harpy with homing blobs similar to the ones some Taken use. I didn't think Bungie could be any more lazy, that the main draw of the entire "raid" uses nearly decade old animations and code.
>>561016434there is too much random chance in this game and every time you add a layer or random chance it works against you and that is by design. Every time you do a run is a chance all your progress can get fucked over. I would never voluntarily do this garbage
>>561016434What is up with all the lazy faggots in gaming these days? There is something to work towards and you are complaining? Set yourself an end goal, nut up and try to kill the fucker.
>>560997794My next cope is the final room that you need a battery for and a final key will release the aliens. PLAN IS STILL TRUSTED
>>561015981Destiny had this exact same problem with the raids, Bungie was used to it since the casuals carried that game, however in this game this content was supposed to drive sales, except it's probably having the opposite effect right now.
>uhhh dude its really hardcore cause its a maze with a time limit and RNG extracts with their own personal time limitsWhat the fuck were they thinking, good god.
>>561010198It's a monument to all of our sins.
>>561016737Its bungie they barely shit this out they aren't hiding anything grand. Compilers already dead day 1 lol nothing happened
>>561016735mmm no i'll just play a game that doesn't expect me to treat it as a job instead
>found my first purple shield >rat deletes it in .7 seconds
>>561016735>There is something to work towards>oh wait it gets wiped in less than 3 months
>>561016434In the same boat here. Me and my buddies have 80 hours each and we only have a total of 3 unique cards total. Getting them isn't even particularly hard, but you have to just spam runs until you get them which could take hours and hours of grinding. And then add all the extra bullshit in Cryo itself.
imagine if it was just another map and instead of robots it had aliens and we didn't need to make it this hardcore map and we can just treat it like another place we can drop for different materials and offer a better experience than just gettin fuckin sniped on dire marsh or farmed by sweats on perimeter(the beginner map)
>>561016813I WILL CONTINUE TO COPE.
>>561016831Stop playing fuckimg solos and spht complaining
is that face that shows up when you pop a signal jammer supposed to be a killer 7 reference?
>>561016434the problem is that its not just pretty hard but mostly very rng dependent and time consuming like you said.if it was purely a skill based thing then at least in theory everyone could learn it over time
>>561016831w-what were you two doing when the clip cut out
Ay this shit looks nothing like the marathon ship from 1994This look like the Roblox Freezer
>only way i can get cryo shit is hoping someone's dumb enough to bring their cryo gear into solos and ratting them
>>561016776cryo mogged lmao
>>561016831brother in christ please lower your sens. you have that if you actually just aim properly from the start.
