People chose to play battle royales where they had a .01% win rate. Battle Royales where the goal was to loot for better gear, wipe out other teams, and be the last player standing. Essentially an extremely hardcore PVP game where you could waste 15-20 minutes with the best gear, wiping teams, just for another team to wipe you. You could not play the most popular battle royale without constant loss.

Marathon has somehow failed to grab all of the players that for years accepted constant loss and where the sweatiest actually had a 5% winrate.

This game would have more players if it respected your time at all

BRs is more "fair" since everyone starts off knives/pistols only and they all gear up on the map. less downtime, less time spent managing your stash. one big map instead of a bunch of bad smaller maps. no pve, straight action.

Don't worry, champ, you'll rape the lobby soon enough and your fried dopamine receptors will light up like never before.

>>562464583
yea and no one could be fucked making a new OP because no one cares about this game tardo

Marathon lovers have literal brain damage. Explaining that safe pockets and less loot on the map encourages risk taking and incentivizes pvp because you have to fight over pve shit, and you still want to extract your expensive gear you brought to get that rare shit gets met with retard nigger shit like "it's a hardcore game because it's a hardcore genre so it has to have full loot to be a hardcore game" and "players should gamble it all on their survival (at the expense of every other mechanic)" or the all timer "players will grab loot and then suicide" like that isn't better than a dead gaem. These "gamers" and "devs" are complete morons incapable of conceiving how a game with materialist and enduring perks could make extracting with pocketed loot a rewarding goal. The brain trust at Bungie is probably telling themselves right now if we add even more loot to the map and more free kit from faction rewards we're increasing the payout and free drinks, that'll keep the raped pulling at the slots. No conscious thought whatsoever from subhumans that spent 300 million dollars to figure out why full loot games are niche.

the people who play BR already play better BRs. people who thought this was gonna be a destiny/halo game got a rude awakening and bailed. the people with lost cost fallacy got their money's worth and bailed. the only people who are left are the HARDCORE player base zeegs wanted.

>>562465404
I honestly think it being a unique weapon in terms of functionality and flair is already enough as is. This game seems to exist in the worst place for some type of people. Others see it as a dick waving contest and become literal dragons with their vault value being the only thing they give a shit about and the other end is the ones that actually play the game and engage in the PvP with atleast wanting part of the game to remain sane, instead of devolving into the madness that the lower end of the rung has already devolved into. (Broken and raped by the slightest setbacks.)

>>562465404
It’s legitimately too powerful for a game like this, it’s just a homing grenade spamer that can wipe a full team in like 3 seconds with little counter play, it also rapes your screen visually if it’s hitting you. It’ll still be strong after the nerf

The marathon discord is literally a bunch of raped furries and brown 16 year olds

>>562465884
Because this game caters to the absolute bottom of the barrel people in society. The ones who genuinely would consider rape if they could get away with it. The ones who play this shit have severe mental illnesses that make dopamine fire from stalking and hunting other sentient beings. This is not a normal competitive mode like team death match where you have to stand and bang with your opponent. No this is the game where you literally have to rape or get raped by someone whos biologically predisposed to it.

Why do you think this game has so many serial deviants, black and brown people, and actual women in it?

It being rare shouldn't make it an instant win button. Especially given that it now serves to gatekeep people from even getting it. If you don't have it, you have to be absurdly lucky to find a situation where you even have a chance to beat a crew who does. Yeah it's not every Cryo run where you get wiped by it, but Cryo was already a challenge to progress through without a 20% chance of some team running around with a 'wipes the lobby for free' button.

No. It was made pretty clear it's just the place where you get the top end loot. Nobody was advertising it as a place where you go to get yourself some consistent leg up. It's also why 90% of the loot in there is something you already get on other maps, but just in large quantities and higher rarity offset. That and contraband weapons.

>>562467330
I mean that's not a scummy thing, that's a dumb thing. People tried it during a free period with low investment and low public opinion, and it wasn't fuckin fun within the period an average low investment player would give it a shot (somewhere from 1 to 4 hours reasonably). There's no hidden agenda of stealing your money, that's just incompetence and failing to even get the money in the first place.

Why the fuck not? The best players can instagib you with any weapon, but the weapon being strong is the problem? That logic only makes sense if dogshit players could easily access it. The people who access cryo have accepted it's meant to be an extremely difficult challenge. Getting wipes is a part of the game, now matter how it happens.

Good loot is a consistent leg up, this has been established in the game for months. It makes no sense to grind and not have an advantage. It makes no sense to wipe progress if good loot didn't give an advantage.

>>562471789
Nah, I play this shit cuz I'm depressed I fucking choked and lost my cool stuff...again. It took me a week to get purple shields again and I still have some but why bother

>>562471424
>Why the fuck not?
Because it's fucking boring? It's one thing for the weapon to offer avenues others don't, it's the only primary weapon that can do damage around corners or in aoe. That's unique and provides value. Doing that AND outclassing every other gun in the game while requiring no thought or skill to utilize beyond baseline awareness of another team's general location isn't fun for either party beyond it probably being amusing for a streamer to fuck around with for like 3 hours.
And that's not even getting into how it turns what is already a heavily luck based game into having even worse odds as the season goes on, as the chance of losing your best gear to 'lol some guy whose friends had more time than you' deletes you and your only chance of progressing with zero thoughts because you didn't happen to luck into the only situation you might win that fight - a shotgun ambush.

>>562471967
Only the best players have this weapon and the best players stomp every other player. The weapon being overpowered only matters in the context of giving a shit player a chance at winning, which it won't. Your entire point is moot. Nobody was winning against these players, fast TTK means you die just as fast as every other encounter with every other weapon, and all of those players will lose the weapon after the wipe.

You're only complaining because YOU want to pretend you had a chance against these players in the first place.

Fix your brain, this game specifically preys on people with fucked up brain chemistry which is why most people dropped it.

>>562472818
When you realize it isn't fun? I dropped it two weeks ago after steamrolling dire marsh and getting purple gear from 2 3 stacks. When we exfilled and I was looking at my purple shields and weapons I didn't feel shit. I knew id lose it like the moment I brought it in to cryo so my brain realized the games a skinner box and it made it unpalatable to engage with

>>562473026
You know there's a difference between losing a fight and not even getting to have the fight in the first place, right? Like it's a cool thing to play Justin Wong at Street Fighter 4, it's less cool if Justin Wong gets to play Omega Tom Hanks against your vanilla SF4 Ryu because he is one of the top players.

>>562473062
Are you into resident evil? Re9 was a pretty good game. I just started up Nioh because some anon here recommended it. It's pretty cool if you like Souls like games. It takes place during the Sengoku era of Japan. And since team ninja developed it, the females are pretty cute. It reminds me of a faster paced version of Ninja Gaiden.

>>562473489
This isn't a fighting game. This is a game of extreme hardcore PVP where the best players are rewarded, will have the best gear, and will become "god". Casual or low skill players will always lose. Period. You and them never stood a chance to have the fight in the first place. You are arguing for something that doesn't exist. If you're so adamant on "fairness" ask for SBMM.

and incrementally improve. Frustration and player attrition happens when the answer is one of the following:
>Nothing. The other player simply has something you don't have and will never have because that player and others like them will gatekeep your access to it.
>Nothing. The other player was utilizing 3rd party cheats.
>Nothing. The game fucked up and because it didn't function right, you lost.
The common thread being that you had no control. Low Control - High Stress is a bad outcome, the game is clearly shooting for High Control - High Stress, and Disinjector warps it.

They were forced to release the game early by management, and management expected it to be on par with Destiny 2. When it wasn't they forced it to shut down. Not the Devs fault

literally all they have to do is make the splash damage hit the user if they fire it point blank. a "contraband" weapon should be a dangerous unwieldy powerhouse, capable of vaporizing enemies and destroying the user if not handled properly.

also holy FUCK the gauntlet of captchas i had to solve to post this is harder than anything marathon has thrown at me

>>562475425
They were forced to release it because EA was getting tired of waiting. If you look up the development cycle of the game, it was all over the fucking place. They literally had no idea what they wanted to do. EA was the good guy in this situation.

>>562475653
EA forced them to change from their original design to a live service shooter slop. They had to reshape the game and restart development to fit their demands. EA is never the good guy.

>the people complaining about the disinjector likely have never encountered it in game

>>562475808
It's the opposite. People find it boring to use and feel compelled to bring it even when they don't want to on the off chance that another team has it. The ones saying it shouldn't get nerfed probably don't have it yet and want to experience it before a nerf.

>cryo is a mess
>too much of the game is restricted to premade trios
>spawns can be completely fucked
>reliably getting gear that isn't in the bare bones armoury is an absolute bitch
But the game is actually fun. I think people thought this was gonna be a far more stripped down extract shooter that would just let them run around wherever they wanted, when really you can't do that cause you'll get ripped apart. Unfortunately it's easier for people to bitch and moan then it is for them to actually adapt.

>>562480454
Nope. Destiny had significantly more players than Marathon ever did, even at it's lowest point.

Do you think anyone still works at Bungie who remembers the Halo 2/3 launches? It must be weird to go from these generational event launched that legitimately broke the social code and pushed gaming into the mainstream and had hundreds of thousands of people lining up to play at midnight to being told by the Valor Ant guy that now you must make a game for 80k people to buy and 10k to actually play because gaming isn't a hobby it's a full time job.

>>562481692
There's definitely Bungie old heads still at the company and worked on this game. They're probably just comfortable in their jobs and get paid so ridiculously much that it doesn't matter to them and they're happy to do whatever.

They 100% get beers once in a while and talk shit about the new guys and how Halo was the game of a generation though. Happens at every company ever, the old guys say they were better than the new guys.

yeah, when they announced it's going to be a fucking extraction shooter I was genuinely baffled. What the fuck were they thinking? What a fucking waste

I don’t know what the fuck happened to my matchmaking, but I used purchasable sponsor kits for the first time ever and all of a sudden my teammates are the stupidest cunts I’ve ever seen. 10 abysmal outpost runs full of Chinese, defective white folk, R6 Siege rejects

Do NOT use purchasable sponsor kits they will ruin your matchmaking for 20 matches.
Some of the stupidest shit I’ve ever seen.
Chinese players on the other side of the map chasing nothing, a whole team fighting the fox warden for 15 minutes and refusing to move (whole team died 5 times), people cheating (obviously Chinese too), English people that can’t actually speak English, teammates that couldn’t differentiate me from UESC and kept shooting me while getting downed.

What the fuck is going on

It falls on Sony desu. Destiny started falling off immediately after the purchase, why would you allow these retards continue to developing something so niche? And remember, this was supposed to release before *** ******* so they didn't even have a precedent for this kinda game going mainstream. They should've had them pivot two years ago.

Somewhat reasonable take. Marathon is doomed until they add SBMM.

>>562480293
It's not like there is no gradient between current Marathon and Carebear Raiders. It's actually pretty wide, they just need to nudge it a little towards the casual side. I can't PvP for shit, so I should be matched with other people who PvP for shit, instead of being a loot piñata for the average FPS player.

I don’t understand the timespan for this Compiler boss grind.

I’ve got 120 hours, and I’ve seen two Cryo keys. One was in Pinwheel (in the two clearance keycard vault, so not common) and another we saw on a downed team in Cryo.

And this is someone doing squad play with a pre made squad 15% of the time and they’ve seen nothing.

So that’s 120 hours over one month, half of the codex filled out, what are Bungie expecting from an average player here to actually get to the Compiler boss? I know some players don’t see a Misriah or Volt Rifle/Shotgun for dozens of hours, the Cryo key drop rate is the same, is Bungie expecting people to put in 400 hours per season to complete it? Or is it gonna be that Cryo will still have them same schedule when Night Marsh is released? Is Bungie expecting the compiler and Cryo to last two whole seasons/6 months?

Playing feels aimless because of how insurmountable this is. A solid MMO raid with all the gear and complex fights takes a few weeks for a casual/core player to complete, and I’m sure Destiny was the same, although I’m sure some anon will say otherwise.

I think this is too much. It’s overturned. All these games days use streamers as a metric and it’s like, they have an entire 5000 person audience helping them out alongside 9 hour daily play sessions.

>>562493323
I think a reasonable take I heard somewhere was if you had 3 people committed to playing consistently, it would reasonably take like 200-250 hours to get all 6 subroutines. I have zero subroutines and am at near 200 hours, I do have like 6 cryo keys (no red key though), the problem is that the two people I play with do not have as much free time as me, so they're closer to like 80 hours. One of them has found a single vault 1 key. We've extracted a few times from Cryo but overall our success rate is low enough that trying to bring keys is generally just not going to pan out.
Assuming that the gut feeling of 200-250 hours (or 600-750 manhours) is even remotely accurate, that's asking for almost 20 hours a week to tackle in the season.

>Is Bungie expecting the compiler and Cryo to last two whole seasons/6 months
I said this when we first found out about Cryo's timegating. Between the bullshit droprates and insane schedule it absolutely feels like Cryo is the only content that they have developed and they want it to carry their game for next 6 months.

As much as game journalists try to spin weekend only raid as a cool innovative feature, timegating is always implemented to prolong the shelf life of content, and in this case bungie clearly wants to drag it out as long as possible.

Remember the good old days when we all had fun getting raped together...

idk man, i've been watching many "new" players to Marathon on Twitch in the last month. Many of them were saying stuff like "yeah i've been playing Tarkov a lot" or any other extracton shooters that are not Arc.

And i see them moving around like it's their first time playing ANY fps game.
First time playing something hardcore too (i just don't believe someone who played Tarkov a lot does so weird bad decisions).
Struggling to hit correct keys on keyboard.

Yes, i get it that someone can be confused with UI.
But being confused, does not make you play like it's your first time ever playing "games" at all.

What is going on i just don't get it at all.
How people boast about playing hardcore/hard games like they were at least above average gamer, yet struggle so hard with basic stuff that is 1:1 in each fps game or way too similar.

>>562498353
Tarkov is mostly mil-sim, so the pace is very heavy and slow and mostly looking for angles. This translates into people also taking Marathon slowly, which makes it all seem so jarring as they struggle with some of the more basic FPS elements, like movement, utility usage (both shells and equipment) and thus get largely outplayed in elements they are not prepared for. I'm pretty old and i've played tons of mil-sim, the more faster paced boomer shooters and anything in between so much of the learning curve in Marathon wasn't really that insurmountable outside the nuances of the game itself. If your entire FPS game repertoire consists of a single ultra-focused game though? It'll be hard adapting at first.

>>562498353
They are getting paid by Sony to promote the game

The more you play the more you realise this genre is just one big meme. Marathon might be the best out of all of them, but it’s still held down by the sunk cost logic mechanics of the genre.

For example I did 15 Cryo runs today, and the majority of the vault is gone.
Now that’s fine, but it’s just that’s it’s another 20 hours of grinding or Rook speedruns next week and for what

I’ve seen Cryo now, it’s a great map, lotta little things, but I don’t get this core loop. And even if it did have a better core loop, holy fuck is everything so stressful. The body thinks it’s literal life or death in some situations.

>>562499253
If we’re being real here, the mechanical point to doing Cryo runs is to gain codex entries, right? That’s the main mechanical drive here.

Bungie has to ask themselves if the story is good enough for that level of grinding.

Seems like the average fill experience. It's almost crazy how people seem to either be completely in their own world or then communicate profusely, but all the wrong things. I've had mute teammates do better simply because they ping shit. Having someone scream "They're on me!" or never using a single marker is driving me more nuts than the micless gameplay.

i wish you could keep a loadout ready in one of your shells while still running rook. i often sell a otherwise good loadout just because id like to play a rook run while waiting for my friends.

It's so unbelievably unsatisfying. All that time wasted for zero emotional pay-off

I was still stuck thinking about people being brainwashed into not liking the game

But I guess some people view games like how I view movies

If a majority of people are shitting on a movie then I just wont go see it or watch it because it would be a waste of my (gaming) time, I can at least try out games to see if I like them or not

But a normalfag doesn't have that luxury, they rely on reviews, the only confusing part to me is, all the reviews are like 10/10, so they think people are being brainwashed from reading reddit? even their reddit is super positive, so I guess it's just everyone shitting on the game on tik tok?

Youtube is full of steamchart retards telling people that you shouldn't play Marathon because the numbers are bad which means you shouldn't play it because it's dying because of the numbers.

There are also genuine reviews from people who actually play the game with low views, however, that probably depends on your algorithm deathspiral. I usually watch multiple sides of an argument but other people might not be that fortunate.

Reddit is not reliable source of information and even redditors know it usually either turns into toxic hate or toxic positivity depending on who mods a sub, and to me Marathon's sub looks like a corporate sub, though there is also a lot of genuine discussion there.

After covid I've realized that 70% of people are basically NPCs that will fold to whatever grift the initial setup spawns. Whoever controls the initial setup controls everything. It doesn't even matter if it's obviously fake (I think people are sensing that the shitting on Marathon isn't justified), people just don't want to be alone. They won't feel safe and secure until their thing permeates the entire society or cultural pocket.

I'm a little confused on the balancing on some of the prestige mods, as some seem to be ridiculously good, and then some other ones seem to be comically bad, take the Bully SMG vs the Twin Tap for example. The bully offers a +60rpm base increase with a ramping fire rate, but the twin tap is horrendous. It decreases the overall firepower/damage, as well as the crit multiplier. and on top of this, the only other benefit it gives would be the small increase in health WHEN you are low HP.. like it doesn't make any sense.

Lmao the game had almost as much people try it as *** during its free playtest. People straight up did not like this game or were not impressed enough to move on from their main GAAS game. nobody brainwashed them. its like you said EVERYONE is saying the game is 10/10 and rocks. the streamers, the reviewers, the redditors but people looked at it, didnt want anything to do with it and then if they were curious enough to try it, didnt want anything to do with it either. losing 60% of your playerbase in a month means people didnt really like it despite buying the game. they werent brainwashed. if anything bungie tried to brainwash them in the opposite direction.

I can’t physically play the game anymore.

Thank fuck I never have to encounter this schizo while doing Cryo Archive

I've just accepted I'm getting nowhere with contracts as a full player. The single run ones on marsh will just never get completed this way. I still haven't played solos because it sounds like aids but maybe cheesing it that way with endless freekits will work but I don't really care. None of the upgrades are that interesting if you don't actually care about competing. So for this season I've pretty much given up and my main goal now is the codex collectibles which is actually a pretty comfy way to play. I bet they're looking at player data and seeing that a very very low percentage of players have actually made significant contract progress

>>562513104

>>562507556
>>562508953
They should add fake bot teams (like Marvel Rivals when you lose too much) with good stuff that are easy to kill so the few that are left stay with the fake feeling of being good while being able to loot good stuff

I find Perimiter more aids than Dire Marsh

Honesly the map is just so fucking ugly it kinda makes me think the earlier demo weekend put a lot of people off buying this game

They should have made outpost the first map everyone plays

>>562513021
I would love to encounter an /mg/ bro, sadly, most of the posters in this thread don't play the game.

I don't like most single player games

>>562514693
I have a friend who used to say this but eventually he shut the fuck up and actually tried a bunch of different singleplayer games and now he likes them.

>>562514804
I just think they're really easy once you beat them, even stuff like shmups isn't nearly as fun the second time round
My favorite single player games of all time is og thief and doom games (all those fan maps and mods) though so make of that as you will

I did, and the malk mod too
I think one odd thing about modern game design is that most campaign levels are built really horribly and are just arenas and corridors with the occasional bosses but multiplayer maps have a lot more intricate aspects and movement routes. It's prolly why I stopped playing most modern shooters and I stick to stuff like Blood and Quake

they need to add bot teams or this game will actually spiral to death, wtf are they doing
queue times are insane

>>562515970
I guarantee that they don't even have the AI developed for that, because it'd be more than just making a UESC into a runner.

>>562515970
Should have added SBMM!
Now it's too late, just lay down into the grave.

If this game is going to eos soon anyways they should have some fun with it, like imagine an infection mode on cryo where it's you against 20 rooks with no shields

>>562515970
>or this game will actually spiral to death
That already happened. Population is stabilized at 30k now.

>>562515970
I don’t play the game, are the queue times actually that bad? How? Games with far lesser populations have no problem with queues like Halo Infinite etc.

I'm a solo fill player and yeah they aren't great right now on any map. During peak NA hours last night I was still waiting at least a minute, I'm not very sensitive to that stuff but it's stood out even to me. I'm only like level 35 though maybe the majority of the player base is already sitting in a higher level bracket but if that's true this game sucks for new players

What's the point of level grinding, you have 2 more months to reach lvl 100 for the achievement.
>Muh everything VIP
All you need in this game is Extended mags, to reload less frequently, a nice shield, like blue, and stamina(heat) upgrades. You can get that within 30 levels, nothing else matters.

Idk what I'm gonna do after I finish all my contracts
Just farm pinwheel and lockdowns?

? What do you mean? If you look at the charts for this week it looks pretty stable at 30k (it’s above 30k in fact, closer to 35k)

I play warzone with a couple friends and hardly a session goes by where one of us doesn’t bitch for a moment about the lack of audio and barely hearing someone sprinting up or climbing a ladder or w/e
But marathon made me realize having to play with and around really loud movement sounds is way more stressful than it’s worth

When you run, you zig zag between boxes, not in the open. Unless you're the aimbotter consolefag, he'd get away with anything.

>>562518605
i guess i run a pretty low risk playstyle but i do play trios and solos both. i will buy out all the 2.5k sponsored kits including the 4k one and afk in solos to exfil the meds and sell the kit. then when my vault is full i just run trios til i have space

Literally nothing in this example. He's attacking from above and behind. The only conceivable way out would maybe be back dashing as destroyer and even then it's highly unlikely even with being able to rewatch the clip and come up with a play let alone in the heat of the moment.

Very based.
I don't have nucaloric either, I'm PvE slaving in a PvP game

Ok so the current cryo meta is to just rush out of your spawn and kill all the other teams in their spawns. This shit is ridiculous why is some goo gun carrying team spawn killing me

oh i just spawned in dire marsh with 2 other retards and got rushed by purple shield cunts. goodbye my gear

We have 4 maps, 2 game modes(regular and ranked).
20 runners needed per map and mode. We don't need more than 1K concurrent players. 24K is too many.

>>562522876
I mean that became the meta on every other map for any coordinated team. Cryo incentives that thing even further with security clearance levels

They should pivot into a Survivor Horror genre and let me play as a tick.

>>562520304
You ran out the front door and didn't even bother checking your angles. He had you dead to rights due to your pathing. That being said, there wasn't much you could have done there other than not take that route. You should never be just walking out into the open in solos.

Nearly pressed play today.
Then i remembered the game has no SBMM.
So i didnt press play.

If you want to get out of any of these areas and transition to the next, take the high ground and scout your route. You should have gotten on top of quarantine, quickly made sure there was nobody on the roof, or nearby buildings. That probably would have made you notice the sniper. Even if you were clear, you still get a picture of where you're going, in this case it would be the highway or open marsh area.

It's decisionmaking that kills people in this game most of the time.

The issue with Dire Marsh is it's all out in the open. Even if you hug structures and minimize your profile you're still massively exposed.

Non consensual lovemaking is what kills people in this game.

>>562523917
Basically you need to play in a hyper vigilant and paranoid manner, solos in particular
