second for total chud victory
rook on rook violence is unnecessary
ded game
>Here's How Marathon Can Still Win
Just had my first successful Rook exfil.Spawned in, looted some untouched corpse a few meters away and immediately beelined the exfil. Made out like a fucking bandit in a grand total of like 2 minutes of in run time.
>300+ hours>level 200+>never see a Gold Key for a room outside of Cryo>find one in Outpost fill in the Red Room>we all freak out>we go to South Relay in Perimeter >sit for 15 minutes, ratting, don't want to lose our key>we get in>ONE Gold salvage>a few purple weapons>second guy says 'what the fuck was the point of all this?'>third guy says 'i'm done', disconnects, doesn't bother exfiling>we find a rook as we're going to exfil>'we opened a key in South Relay, all yours dude'Now THIS is what I call rewarding high level game play.
>>565221695Spend your silk.
ban the retardera chuddiesNOW
how the fuck did bungie manage this
>>565222818they're busy working on Destiny 3, which will rival GTA 6 Online, so it's to be expected tbqh desune senpai
>>565220221Full story. Can't even let a nigga exfil.
Am I going to even be able to hit level 100 before the season is over at this rate?

>>565223164I'm level 70 and pretty confident I will
Thread Anthemhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtWaCViY_tc
>>565223164I'm lvl 55 and feel like if I just grind daily I should reach it
>>565223164I'm level 99 and I'm not sure it's within reach
I think I'm bugging the game sounds different to me did they fuck with the sound this patch
>>565222818>90k daily playersChartposters need to know to multiply peak concurrent numbers by 4-6x and then they’ll get their “total daily players” if they’re gonna post charts and use words
>>565225896do you not feel at least a little ashamed? this level of cope is embarrassing
>>565226016>almost 2 month into release>still looking at charts of a game you don't playhow do you cope with your usage of free will?
>>565226449Not my fault the best part of Marathon is free
>>565222205The silk shop is only cosmetic stuff right?The game and menus are very overstimulating and it's hard to keep track of what's what atm..
>>565226545>so poor that can't play gamesalright, good luck with finding a job
rape dire marsh
>>565226718>The silk shop is only cosmetic stuff right?Yes, but there is a limit to how much you can hold.
>>565226771I bought it to leave a negative review and refunded it
>>565226718not really you can get weapon schemas
>>565223000I'd shoot a Rook like that without a second of thought.
>>565228280understandable, a poorfag PC can't run the game after all
>>565229314The closed beta ran just fine for me on max settings at 4K, pretty much a locked 144fps.
>>565229551cool story bro
>>565200923>I hate nothing more than wanting to play this game but having no one to play with at the moment. I despise this game solo. I don't enjoy rook runs either.>>565202097>I am literally quitting because of this phenomenon. I busted my fucking ass of trying to crawl through the gauntlet alone, and I'm proud of what I was able to accomplish but I feel like it's time to pack it in. Why keep hurting myself like this?Testosterone makes effort feel good. Modern men have lost 40% of their testosterone compared to our ancestors. The reason why people can't play real games like Marathon is literally physical issue. They need to be coddled by an engagement algorithm that protects them from the bad feelings and makes sure they feel safe and important.
>>565229806Thanks, even ultrawide at 5120x1440 was doable at max settings on the launch version was great. But I just idled on Perimeter for bit and mostly the menus to get my play time up for the review.
The global runner elim bug is honestly kind of scary right now
>>565230382Get used to it, it's going to be a Season 2 feature when they finally fix it.
>>565230161High T men are out there being CEOs or creating offspring, lol
>>565230805No they're being schizophrenic on /vg/ and shilling for a dead game, incel chud.
Had a crazy fucking perimeter round, got ambushed twice in Station. First by a freekit recon who tried jumping me near that vent in the bottom floor area leading to the drone bay then by a green shield vandal who tried to knife me to death. Hipfired them both down with my silenced bully. Then a fucking thief showed up and was trying to drone me out so I just fucked off since they can't really follow you while in their drone.
Battle Royale won
>>565200923what level are you? im pretty casual but ill play with you
pol "rape bungie" tussy
>co-evolution 2>killed 2 people on the way to quarantine >then got the contract kill >successful exfil God damn, the LMG fucks, and I expect to hear calls for it's nerf soon.
Paul bussy
paultussy
>>565233386>the LMGyou didn't specify which one but I'm gonna assume you mean the Demolition right?
Why are people so aggressive in this game. The only cooperation I have ever seen is Rook to Rook and very rarely a crew accepting a rooks presence. I have never seen squad to squad communication or anything. It's just open fire immediately
Killed a guy and took his unique overrun, this thing has basically instant ADS it's kind of crazy honestly.
>>565233931Retaliator. I haven't tried Demolition yet, but I hear it's the best one.
>>565234285Always been like that, put mods on it, way less shitty but on the other hand you might as well just run a Volley or M77. Same story with Retaliator LMG though fully kitted LMG not too shabby in some situations.
I love rook runs but my vault is too full to do rook runs
I knew that the company that said inspire friendship making a game where being an asshole is survival would not line up, that the whole "you'll just love to talk about all the runs you had" vibes-y talk was retarded and Joey Z was a snake ass bitch with not much to show. This shit should've never been designed this way. I give the game maybe another 3 months tops before shit really collapses for real and that feels generous. I still cannot believe they wanted Compilier subroutines to be not 100% drops
>>565222310It is going to be retarded when Bungie asks for another $40 for 1 character,1 new map and a rip off skin of Onslaught next year.
>>565234702>always been like thatit's a unique
>>565234952I expect a collapse month into season 2.
>>565234179A lot of the marketing for the game was heavily focused on the pvp part, and the weirder conole war type tards kept citing it as a "true extraction shooter" because they wanted to spit on Arc Raiders instead of just being excited for the thing they like. There's also just a lot on the line. No safe pocket and no way to reliably get the things you actually want a majority of the time means people are just less likely to take chances.
>>565234702Uniques have better baseline stats before they factor in their locked mods, withe everything it has a 0.2s ADS speed. For comparison my Bully has 0.35s and you can feel the difference.
>losing 1k players a day when your 24h peak is 15kI'm not good at math but this does NOT look good bros
>>565235824Let it die. Bungie needs to learn.
>got a shot lined up on some destroyer looting a container>outland so this should down>he's standing completely still>fire>bullet magnetizes to the healing drone floating BEHIND his headthis fucking game sometimes man
>>565234828This is my problem with the game. I want to play rook or even freekits but I fucking can't because the minute I come back with gear I have to melt it all down for peanuts so I can continue to play. Materials and even health and ammo do not need to take up collection space. Piece of shit bungie loves the idea of people having limited assets.
>three great rounds on perimeter>first game on dmarsh I die in the first minute
Okay how the fuck are people seeing me crouch walk through a sniper while stealthed?
behold: Marathon's supporters
>>565238867>botted hate campaignjust stick to blaming the chuds retard
>>565238867easier to believe in a boogeyman keeping it down than admit this game is rancid cheeks hence no one is playing itthis is so much crazier than highguard or concord i just love it to bits
>>565238867>grrr its the bots!Lol the game is not super replayable. Even Shroud who keeps calling this game GOTY stopped playing within two weeks.
purple bio research key loot, pretty happy with it
>4 billion dollar extraction shooter that can't even shore up twenty thousand people playing at daily peaks>most popular mode within is ad-hoc battle royale with next to no 'extraction' elementslol bungo
I'm really not sure how this guy rotated on me>watch him enter 2nd floor of station from the outside walkway>approach>hear gunfire under me>somehow he's now rotated to the side walkway and enters through the other door near where the lockboxes spawn and kills me???
VERY AUSPICIOUS SIGN.... UNPRECEDENTED COMEBACK SOON???
>>565241570season 2 will save the game, bungie's learned all the necessary lessons. we're all gonna make it.
concord and highguard had NO stans though there are those who'd have you believe otherwisethat's why this is so juicya fair number of people are absolutely fucking in love with this slopgod what a fucking amazing artistic direction and setting have they squandered hereowy yeowy
>>565242128"...""It was nice while it lasted."
rape grows.... sweeter... the longer it goes on, you see..........>>565242365nice while it BLASTED amirite or amirite?
>>565241213class?
>>565243870Assassin, he didn't pop stealth until he opened the door though.
>trying to capture some no-hud footage with a sponsored kit in darsh>supposed to be getting footage of me just running around, looting, walking up to POI's etc>accidentally kill half the lobbyalso it's crazy how much stronger the horror vibes feel without all the shit cluttering the screen
>>565236401why no footage?
>run past someone>say sup>they just shoot you and stab younon-cart-returner phenotype
>>565244224there were two assassins, both camping the same spot and didn't know the other was there
>>565245814Probably, funny how that works
>>565237697Aim assistI spot ghosts just by adsing all the time
>>565244909because I don't record myself while I play?>>565237697any kind of movement you make as assassin makes you less camoflauged, weather can also make you easier to see (rain especially). Theres also a chance they just had a thermal sight which does see through your camo effect
>>565245758If I run into someone solo I teabag like crazy because they dont ever listen to words I swear to god. It works more often than I think, but it's still a 30% success rate at best.
>>565234828>>565236667thats the point where you throw on a kit and do crew fills till you free up space.my gameplay loop is: rook runs/sponsored diremarsh fill till i have full vault, then run crew fill for contracts till i have vault space again
>>565246381My next question is why give a character invis but have it basically be countered by literally everything in the game? Oh you can't move too fast, oh if the weather is raining you're easier to see, oh recon can just throw their drone from the other side of the poi or ping you out, oh thief can just turn their visor on or use their drone, oh it makes a lot of noise while active and so on
do these single shot precision guns suck? stuff like repeater? seem to be outgunned by any and everything
>>565247245>Why can't I have true invis on a 30 second timer with no counterplayKinda self explainatory no? The point of the ability is to catch people off guard that aren't paying attention. If you could just be completely invisible and make no noise while doing so there'd be no reason to play anyone else. Granted I get what you're saying but you have to remember>thermal sights are actually rare now (it used to be a lot worse a couple weeks ago)>there are other weather conditions that work in your favour (when it's foggy you can basically sprint while invis and be unseeable)>recon is basically screaming into the air where her position is anytime she throws the drone out or just uses her primeThief is actually overloaded as fuck and needs a nerf though. The visor being able to see through smoke is one thing but being able to see invisible people and also hack on top of it and see where rare loot is and get a grapple and a drone that can do recon from up to 150m away is just stupid
>>565247245because invisibility is strong as fuck retardevery game ever has the same problem
>>565247245>why is the stealth my non-interactive bullshit class not 1,000x more powerfulyou don't read books do you
>>565247245spammable invisiblity in a high risk high reward game where people with the highest tier of shielding can get oneshot and lose hours of progress is pretty powerful
>>565247675yeah kind of, they aren't terrible in free kits if you can land headshots. Otherwise, nah,
>>565247675the repeater is very bad but its kinda fun. the hardline is fine as long as you get an optic and a recoil mod on it, its range is very good.
>>565233386i popped off yesterday with a thermal lmg with a 100 round belt and got 7 runner eliminations in one game
>>565247675the stryder m1t kinda fucks honestly. and it runs off light rounds which is convenient
>>565234285Overrun overall feels a bit underrated especially because the base version suffers from the small clip size. Compared to M77, similar range, recoil is worse and accuracy/aim assist is less, but the faster ADS speed than M77 and higher DPS kinda start add up if you can aim, and the game's generous bullet magnetism makes it pretty manageable.
>11k peak>3k player loss in a dayIt's actually happening.
>>565253951peak is not until another couple hours when east coast plus west coast usa are home but yeah still losing players
>>565253951it's been 2 months how do you people still not understand how the steam charts work
It's Marathover
>>565253216It's a really good gun for something that seems so dinky. Solid runner damage and can one tap recruit bots in the head. Barely needs mods to really make it work too
>have friends who refuse to do contracts or rook runs>Complains about being poor and never being able to afford ammo or gunsWhy are pvpers like this?
>>565257308Not like this
>>565257308kek
>>565258219People just like to make problems for themselves sometimes. Literally just tell them if they do a single session of just Rook'ing going to POI's picking up white salvage they can take care of their ammo and meds drought for almost a full month. After like 2 hours you can pick up 150+ samples for one salvage type, which saves upwards of 30/40k creds on ammo or 135k creds on meds.If they don't listen just tell them to play Triage, since he passively saves money by virtue of not having to bring meds.
>>565260891The dude is so worried about credits but I honestly sit between 60k and 120 k and I'm always stocked up. He's so sad he's at 66k. Like man. You can't take it with you. Also his friend joined us and told him the same thing I did lol
>>565257308>the hamsters are falling off the wheel
So is every fucking map just purple shield fucks or what, this shit is actually unplayable
>>565263401:)
is the new meta all triage?
Chud Tassi was wrong (again.). The debate isn't between Hardcore and Casuals. The debate is between people who like the game and see where it can go vs. Shit eating fuckheads who want to see everything burn.
>>565262615He's probably got something in his schemas like a misriah or circuit breaker and see's the 15k cred price and just think's he is broke. Doesn't help when all the content creators have 1 million credits just cause they've been able to farm cryo and trivialise the whole loot economy. Personally I'm at 400k creds and even I feel like a broke ass bum even though I'm really not, everything in the armoury is just fucking pricey>>565263401I know loot barters aren't shared, but I know two days ago a lot of players (myself included) got purple shield barters with nucal. Today I also have purple shield barters with them for Enzymes. That plus Outpost loot plus Cryo + key rooms being opened more often cause of the CARRI template payouts means high tier gear is fucking everywhere at the moment.>>565265005Triple Triage has always been good, but the shell meta really depends on the map. I wouldn't say it's *the* meta though, it just happens a fair bit since he's a common pick for solo players in fill queue
>>565265370It's definitely between hardcores and casuals, and the hardcores rubbing casuals face into the dirt is just making them more and more okay with this game dying. Bungie should have picked a better audience, sorry!
>>565265597Casuals can learn
>last exfil>say hi to other team>they kill you and run w/o looting
>>565266271Nobody wants to learn how to stretch so they can take it up the ass better. Game is doomed because Bungo chose to make an extraction shooter that's harder than Arc, and doesn't have the autism for Tarkov gunfags.
>>565265553i guess he doesn't exfil as much as i do. i'm always getting cash and more guns than i know what to do with. also he's always on perimeter and probably too afraid to learn outpost.
>>565266294>say hi to other team>pull down pants and bend over in front of the other teamyes, and?
>>565266294why would they run away from you if it was the last exfil
The game isn't bad at all, the quality certainly isn't the reason people aren't playing.Do some runs with randoms and you'll realize that most people who play this are utterly shit. They don't play because they don't get easy wins in here.
>>565269389Tell that to the dwindling playerbase, I'm sure they'll come right back now that they've realized it was all just a skill issue the entire time.
>>565269389Every time I get a team that plays better than me in Outpost - and mind you, I'm a mediocre player at best - I feel like I should celebrate.
>>565270432Nobody will accept it, but it's the truth anon.
You know, I think they fumbled by not including a safe pocket. It wouldn't ruin economy or progression if some shitter could shove a biolens up his ass, leaving wild hogs one salvage item less to leave rotting on the ground. The shitter would feel he's chipping away at progression.
>>565271081Bungie's playerbase would require three safe pockets to be satisfied.
>on outpost>ping an enemy>it's someone else on my friends listWELP
>>565269389I think what also compounds on top of that is that there isn't really much to do if you don't want to spring for Cryo and try to do Compiler. Normies don't want to play ranked if it's in a seperate queue or give up their weekends so they can get murderfucked in a fridge for 3 days. Contracts are basically what most people see as the main content, and most people just stop or give up when the contracts switch up from shit they can reasonably do to cock and ball torture. You kind of have to find a reason to keep playing, which works for autists like me (love filling out the codex, love grinding for the valuables, actually like the lore, want to do compiler etc.) but for the common player they need to be spoonfed fun shit to do or they'll just play something else.>>565271081The problem with that though is bungie are adamant on sticking with the lore for the game, so it'd be literally impossible to get whatever is in your safe pocket up to you with how the rules have been established. If your shit can just be teleported out of a pocket you have then it opens up a whole side arguement of>well why can't the rest of my loadout be teleported up hur durr>why do I need to go to the exfil station if shit can just be teleported off my body hurr durrmaybe in season 2 Durandal can give us a hand now that we've booted him up a bit and they could handwave it that way
>>565272085Maybe not set up the lore this way? They already have that whole spiel about how you can only extract in specific windows due to interference and other bullshit (that's what extraction points are - places where the signal is clear enough to grab the entire shell safely). Just establish that interference prevents complete and safe matter transmit, but can grab contents of very small dedicated shielded container on top of grabbing Runner consciousness. Voila. I didn't even fudge the "lore" much to get it working.
>>565271081There were so many things that Bungie could have done to make the game more forgiving and less tedious and yet Bungie just refused to any of it. There's a reason why a good chunk of people left before the C.A.R.R.I event and never came back.>>565269389Its never been the quality of the game being a problem. The shooting feels good, the world is cool, and while the art direction is divisive there's a reason why it still appealed to people with the reveal trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckI_m8bbXfwThe problem is that not only is there so little to do, but the grind to get basic upgrades like getting Biolens for Blue Shields becomes tedious as fuck. Not only that but priority contracts are more hassle than they're worth for most people because damn near every mission wants to the player to make as much noise as possible so they can have the privilege of dealing with as much ratters as possible. All just to draw out the play time in the name of "engagement".
>lost gold salvage because a free kit sonygger took us to command wing for his quest when we could have exfilledI';m going to fucking ruin his life
a volume-limited "emergency etherstep unit"maybe make people pay for different tiers of it.
got some insane loot from my Outpost run right now.brought in the two weapons and heals/mods, but the rest is what i found.had to fight a couple of bots as well.
>>565272649The problem there is that having this would completely invalidate the DCON as a whole. It could be argued that maybe the safe pocket is only synched up to your off-site zone but still>on top of grabbing Runner consciousnessThe catch and release consciousness ejection works irregardless of exfil though? Technically you disconnect and enter your liminal buffer during the teleportation process the same way you would if you died. No need to come up with some new shit when there's already pre-existing shit explaining it.
>>565274379They can always just make up whatever shit they can to justify it under the excuse of "safe pockets are just meant to be a QoL gameplay addition, don't think hard about it".
having an issue where i keep running out of space, should i just delete all this blue gear?i literally never use any of it cause i am a freekit gremlin, and just keep stacking it up. also is it better to keep gun mods or the gun itself? i also feel like taking off the mods is pointless
>>565275409I'd sell mods first, then cores (esp if you don't run destroyer), then the equipment pieces, then shields. Mostly the mods.Selling a gun w/ mods vs. selling a gun and then selling mods gives you the same price, I think - taking off mods only really matters if you want to use them on a different gun of the same class. (Except for chips, but most chips are kind of worthless.)
>>565275409>tfw you're too good at the game and there's nothing you want to barter for so your vault is perma full and you rarely die so it becomes a cascading issue
>>565221695What am I looking at here?
>the low pressure nothing queue’s times are topping out at 3 minutes now>Bungie will literally never patch the game before seasonal updates so the whole thing will just keep rottingGood show, Bungie.
And then here comes this...Alien. And he's better
There it is
>11PM>woke up>thinking about Thief>cock gets hard and pops out of boxers
Most successful night of Marathon'ing so far after a start that basically had me being raped constantly by purples. Solo Outpost run let me reset but fuck there were some close calls since apparently the freekit LMG just tears through you while the WSTR still kind of sucks when you have to dodge bullets and are farther than right up their asshole with it. Trios outside of the casual queue still fucking suck though.
I have the biggest dick in this thread
>>565230439>>565230382I haven't been noticing it. I'm pretty sure it's fixed
>>565275409>freekit gremlinThen just sell all of it. You're never gonna use it
>>565280351>HDyqgcdbUAAm3l4.jpgWould look good sitting on Recon's lap
Trans Thief and Vandal shells sitting on my lap
>>565257308That website can't even draw a curve, it just shows the current trajectory line with no regard for greater trend
On Marathon, you would not farm the matchmaking system, to get into normalfag lobbies, would you...
>>565272772>every mission wants to the player to make as much noise as possible so they can have the privilege of dealing with as much ratters as possible. All just to draw out the play time in the name of "engagement".It would not feel rewarding to beat those missions, if you didn't have to struggle. Marathon - clean, hardcore gameplay. Other AAA games - fake, handholding faggot sissy games
>>565242128>god what a fucking amazing artistic direction and setting have they squandered hereI felt that way with Brink, personally. I loved the waterworld inspired post-apocalypse setting to bits, ugly as sin character designs aside.
All I gotta say is... Fuck the Chuds!
>hear steps>start assault>it's a Vandal>pin her against a wall>start kissing her neck>Vandal says but i'm trans>keep kissing her and bend her overSpeaks to me
I think we should move the thread to /vm/ at this rate
>>565290232Better to do it under it's own power than to try to prop up a dead general with empty bumps.
>>565288170shut up retard
>>565288170Retarded rape victim alert
I just love playing pvp
>>565220221I think pvp shooters are over because of hackers. And high stakes genre like extraction shooters are more over. Gotta go back to PVE shooters where hackers actually help you farm items.
Tassi: AppauledCheeks: blown outChuds: Lost
>>565220221this general is still going? lol?
>>565272085>Contracts are basically what most people see as the main content, and most people just stop or give up when the contracts switch up from shit they can reasonably do to cock and ball tortureThis is why I stopped playing. I don't care about Cyro or Ranked. I like completing each faction's contracts and going through the lore/story. But the contracts become very unfun to the point that I just can't be fucked playing this game. It's not fun.
After meeting a trans Thief shell, and exploding all over she/her lips, I'm now interested in playing ranked.
So when do the layoffs start
>>565300963When the game goes to PS Plus, and Bungie starts working on a casual game for the next, sixth PlayStation system. >will it be AAA with full story campaignYes>Is it coming to PCLikely>Is it coming to XboxDoubt it, Sony has no problem cancelling ports. The new boss Totoki cancelled 4 or 5 PC ports of single player games, like Wolverine and Yotei.
Raped game.Raped dev.Raped playerbase.Raped general.
Outstanding game, dedicated playerbase
>>565302205why would you use that image. that's so fucking cringe
>>565302474I fight in Marathon like I have an extra pair of hands. I'm that good.
>trios fill>always bring a purple shield or a blue shield at minimum>get free kits constantlyThis is at level 100+, shouldn't you be able to bring actual kits every match at this point?
>>565305064It's "easier" to slam your face into the match in a freekit hoping to get lucky and rip a full loadout off a player your geared teammate killed.
>sponsorship marsh>somehow get faced with a team with purple shields and Outlandsthe fuck is this shit?
>>565305283Outlands drop from weapon lockers, they aren't even that rare. It is not impossible to find a purple shield in a box either.
>>565305363sure but on all 3 of them? what are the odds on that?
The game would be better if>self-revive was solo only >bubble shields did not exist>grenades were 2x2 inventory space and could not stack in your backpackThere are objective facts, and since I do not trust Bungie to implement these changes in S2 I have no reason to continue playing now that I've killed Compiler and VIP'd all contractors
The game would be better if it didn't have pvp
>>565305146Easier on quotes, truly, most of the time those freekits are also bad and just get downed instantly making the fights a 2v3.
>>565305064if you're not playing with friends why would you risk your shit with randoms, especially when the game loves to match you with freemium shits everytime you bring something higher than green tiers
>>565307814No friends, and too many shields to burn
>>565308027Why don't you bring 2 extra shields and weapons for your autofill mates?

>>565310712sorry bwo, I don't like the commitment of having to talk with someone and not being able to leave whenever I want
Destiny 2 won
>>565311242You don't have to talk and back out whenever, I talk because I see glowing red footsteps

Sorry, I don't feel confortable teaming up with consolenig whitebois schizotwinks
>one small movement mistake cost you the fight
>>565311928>Sorry, I don't feel confortableYou should try not to be a pussy, makes life a lot more fun
>>565311242Realest shit i ever heard
>communicating in game is commitment>not comfortableI know we're in retard central. I did not know how severe retardation could be.
>>565312768I have to speak to people and not act retarded at work all day, I'm not doing it for free when I'm supposed to be having fun.
To be fair, most Marathon players are troons and I don't like like talking to them either.
>>565313056>I have to speak to people and not act retarded at work all dayOk, why not join someone who speaks, and just let him give you info? Recon can see tracks that other players don't, that's why I talk.
Alright, /mg/ last month said>team based gaem, solo mode is stupid, team more fun/mg/ this month>erm, I'm not comfortable if we speak
>>565313497Oh I'll listen, but many players it's like:>constant scratchy noises>music in the background>ESL
>>565313686I understand, well my mic is clear, if you want to play.
>>565313056lol fuck off dude you're just shy.
Sorry I don't team up with shounenfags
Some of the best games I've had are 2 Russian sounding people not speaking English and I'm just silent following and playing competently
Soon there won't be anyone to talk to in Marathon
>No pulse, no X ray chargeAfter we shoot them, they move among boxes/trees, and when I look between those pieces of cover, I can tell>Destroyer went to the left>Triage went to the rightI see glowing footprints, would be stupid if I did not talk.
>>565314602What is ping
>It's nice to play with a Recon, who's actually doing Reconhttps://streamable.com/lq2tzr
>>565314725>What is pingNo direct line of sight on the player model, you want "the general direction" to be pinged, and when he moves from there, another ping in the same direction? That's stupid.
>>565314243You will have a couple of thousand PS Plus subscribers to talk to, this summer. Maybe 1 or 2K Game Pass players too.>f2pNot until this fall.
>>565314747whats funny is that thief's drone is way better for recon than recon's ult.
>>565315065Thief's drone can be shot within 2 seconds. Recon's ult doesn't need to be active, you shoot, and see glowing prints, without the ult.
>>565314996When has adding a subscription to failing game ever saved it?
>>565314243That's just because we're late in the season, chud. 10k for the latter half of the season is normal.
>the only reasons why any contract has any difficulty at all is because there are other runnersC'mon Bungie, stop making UESC a joke
>>565315868I know you think that's a dead end question. Rocket league had low sales, until it went to PS Plus.Marathon can't explode like this, because it's too difficult, makes vaginas hurt.
>>565316896Rocket League wasn't failing though, it was still popular on Steam even at release and launched on PS plus.
god damn there's like 4k players who play this game and half are assassin players who literally sit and wait for 15 minutes for a noise before moving. How the fuck are you guys finding that playstyle fun?
>>565317307>sit and wait for 15 minutes for a noise before moving. How the fuck are you guys finding that playstyle fun?Have you heard of Verdansk, CoD Warzone, and PUBG? A lot of people sit and wait for a long time.Except streamers, who use a second PC to run undetectable walls, and pretend they don't know someone is hiding. Streamers move in battle royale, no one else does. Even ranked fags camp.
>>565269389overcoming difficulty isn't rewarding in this game
>>565317524> Streamers move in battle royale, no one else does.Nah I've played lots of ranked Apex and it doesn't come close to the amount of camping in Marathon. Also in BRs there's literally a damage zone that forces you to move lol so not even remotely the same. The only game that is even slightly similar to Marathon in that regard was Hunt Showdown. But you don't need to make noise in Hunt so it's easier to avoid rats.
>>565318787>Also in BRs there's literally a damage zone that forces you to move lol so not even remotely the same.Doesn't stop whitebois from camping and winning.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ4SwoDGZd4

>>565319742Did you grind Cyberacme for the +rows? Gearfearfaggot
It's a bit difficult to try to defend the positives of this game when most of the people on your side either have TRANS RIGHTS in their bio and post the gayest shit imaginable on twitter or are overtly positive troglodytes who go "yeah but Destiny is a game that has 10 years of updates ofc it has more people online then Marathon!!" Absolutely baffling.Makes me want to become one of those steamchart guys out of spite and really twist the knife even though they're the biggest retards of all.
>>565320041>Did you grind Cyberacme for the +rows?Not intentionally, it levels up on its own.I don't open boxes, locked rooms. Anything I have is taken from runners.
Sisters...
>>565319335a rat done but my sister nellbut whiteys on tau ceti IV
>>565317307>half are assassin players who literally sit and wait for 15 minutes for a noise before movingthe assassin class distribution is true, but the "sit and wait for 15 minutes for a noise before moving" is not, even in the sweatiest of solo Qs. people actually move around and do stuff.assassin needs a re-balance or maybe some tweaks for solo Q. right now the ability to ignore uesc or have them act as bodyguards when moving around / looting / exfiltrating is too strong compared to other classes
>>565320407Join us, anon.Join us, and rape bungie.
>>565315536>Thief's drone can be shot within 2 secondsyeah sure dude
>>565322970I always check for Thief drones, a bot lobby full of retards not noticing a drone, is just luck.
Why yes, I do enjoy listening, and ambushing. I never go do locked stuff, or alert UESC.>sponsored MarshI will help someone do a quest, because in no gear mode, i can 1V3.

Why did Bungie think Marathon would be successful? Why did Sony?
one wrong step is all it takes to die...
>>565327379>two retards fighting
>>565325603Understandable position to be in
I haven't played this shit since Friday
>>565327379You really showed that wall who is the boss. And you killed an assassin while you were at it, too.
>>565327264>Why did Bungie think Marathon would be successful? Why did Sony?Sony thought it would be successful, because Bungie's famous logo was on it. For this reason, Sony will not shut Bungie down, and will make the studio produce another game.>Why did Bungie think it would be successfulAn anon on here already explained, that they decided to copy Tarkov, but they "don't understand what Tarkov is really about".I don't know what the fuck that means, still, it is a survival battle royale, with Tarkov's collect&extract mechanics.
>>565328392>Sony will not shut Bungie downFamous last words
>>565328993Sony will use Bungie's logo at least 1(one) more time. You'd be a fool to believe they won't try. >But Concord devs got shut downThat studio had no famous logo, it was easy to scrap. Bungie is effectively immortal, until they release the next product.
Surface level understanding of what made X successful and building out the game to instead be Y is what killed this project.
Raped.
>>565329674Ah, the Tarkov anon is here, to enlighten us.
>>565329602Bungie's name is obviously a detriment at this point. Have you not paid attention to anything since the Destiny content vault? The terrible reveal? The stolen art? And at point people thought Japan Studio was immortal, Studio Liverpool, and Zipper. No studio is immortal, especially under Sony. Bungie will be raped for never making a dollar for Sony.
>>565329885Refute my claims. You literally can't.
>>565329696>Either way this shit has ruined my week.You didn't have the system looked at, when it was malfunctioning all week? Come on now, you should've let a pro check it out.
>>565330172No because 1) I am broke asf2) I live in the middle of fuckin nowhere
>SAAROS will rape what's left of the console playerbaseGrim
>>565330079I wasn't making fun of you.
>>565330381Lmao I thought this was a real game for a second and almost died of laughter. Topkek
>>565330345That's unfortunate. Bad luck.
>>565329963>Bungie's name is obviously a detriment at this point. Have you not paid attention to anything since the Destiny content vault? The terrible reveal? The stolen art?You do not understand how this works. Ubisoft's logo is a "detriment" too, Assassin's Creed Japan still sold millions, and Asscreed remastered is being pre ordered again.A big brand, recognizable logo is extremely difficult to replace. This is why they will try to using it again, because it can go very viral. Nobody gave a fuck about Japan Studio, except Bloodborne fags, and that port or remaster isn't happening, because Miyazaki refused.
>>565331037Forgive the grammar errors, I'm jacking it to Vandal, typing with my left hand, and my brain doesn't work right now
>>565331037Ubisoft has nowhere near the bad reputation that Bungie does. Look at the Black Flag remake, everyone is fucking excited except for a few poorfags that can't run it, it's selling way better than Marathon has been since their preorders opened. There will not be another new Bungie IP or sequel to Marathon, just Destiny nostalgia slop at most but a shutdown is more likely.
Barret's vision of Marathon would've been better than Zieglerslop
>>565332135They were right to replace him if he's retarded enough to reply to blue tick grifters
>>565331435>Look at the Black Flag remake, everyone is fucking excited except for a few poorfags that can't run itI buy every new game that comes out and I don't care about it, fuck remasters
>>565332583enjoy your dead game, brotherfor the few months of life it has left
>see chart>not read the textSimple
>>565332665Steam Global Top Sellers btw
>>565331037>>565331435I think you're both right. Bungie have tanked their reputation enough that their logo on Marathon is probably working against it, but likewise being able to slap "from the studio that made Halo and Destiny" on new releases likely gives Sony execs a giddy boner. The brand is going to remain for at least one try, even if the studio itself gets functionally gutted.
>>565332583He also replies to faggots
>>565332945grim
Ignore the chuds, the player population is booming.
>>565336891Bungie must have had this mirrored
>nassive
You fools, don't you understand. No one wishes to go on.
>>565333072>The brand is going to remain for at least one tryYup, one new game with Bungie's logo. Probably for PS5, PS6 and PC. Doubt they'll release it on Xbox, Totoki doesn't like porting first party, and cancelled the Wolverine/Yotei ports for PC.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-04/sony-pulls-back-from-playstation-games-on-pc
>>565300963Sony board meeting next month. Possibly there. Possibly they get the full season 2. >>565302474Because kurpakosk has the cool sense of a tokyopop executive who's too shit to even work at crunchroll.
>>565305907Probably had a second team scouting and feeding the main team gear. >>565317307I don't think you understand the game. That literally is the solos strategy of choice. It's one of the reasons why they were resistant to work on solos.
>>565331435>everyone is fucking excited except for a few poorfags that can't run it,I'm not so sure. The completely epic bombing run Ubisoft has been on with new POP remake, AC shadows, SW outlaws, POP Killmonger edition and goddam Skull and Bones isn't giving confidence. At best I wait until release. The old game doesn't seem to really need a remaster. And they fucked up skill and bones so goddam hard.But it's a reasonable question. Ubisoft v Bungie in rep?
Thief sitting on my face right now and taking 100K credits for doing it
>>565339650God, the investors report is going to be fucking brutal. I can't wait.
This is what Sony wanted, chuds. Two dead live service games that don't make any money. That will fund a PS6 exclusive or something, somehow.
wow i love the lore cinematics that i unlock for completing quests that are literally nothing but aura farming hollow dialogue on top of a 3 second looping video really gotta stretch the lore to the far edge of infinity in case this live service game lasts forever at the expense of any kind of moment-to-moment enjoyment
Is it true that seasonal XP is only from kills and looting? If I wanted to autism my way to 100 would I just free kit perimeter and rush points and kill uesc
>>565342009>Is it true that seasonal XP is only from kills and looting?Successful exfil multiplies your XP, you gain XP from assists, full kills, and looting.
>>565339941>the investors report is going to be fucking brutal. I can't wait.Nothing's gonna happen, the studio will keep working a new game. And updating Marathon. Until the next product is released for PS6, Bungie is effectively immortal.You can cope, you can seethe, nothing will change the plan.
>>565344246>if I say it every thread multiples times then that means it's true
>>565344010I wonder if the XP gained from playing aggro and dying would be faster/min versus careful play with extraction. Assuming I'm low-skill/new
>trannyera deleted ccu thread >another one pops up and gets 20 pages and forces them to create a sales subforum >troons banned for complaining about ccu total chud victory on a site like trannyera the amount of rape endured by you people is insane
>Money doesn't matter to businesses
>>565332583sure he's retarded, but there's no need to throw the baby out with the bath water. The hero shooter aspects of Marathon have stone dead killed it.
>>565344680big if true
>>565339650What happened to "muh 95% steam ratings"
>>565346102Real people started reviewing it
>>565332135Is that why the game looked awful and the first showcase actually killed the hype for this game? Ziegler saved Marathon
>>565346747>Ziegler saved Marathon
>>565346102The honeymoon period is ending for some people, and they're now realizing that there's zero fucking content, and the little content there is is FAR from perfectThere are a LOT of issues with the game that people seem to ignoreI guess it is a "I reject your reality and substitute my own" kind of deal. Except reality catches up to everyone, eventually
>>565344708>>Money doesn't matter to businessesConsole business usually runs by selling 3rd party, and having 1st party exclusives. Jap grandpa is the boss now, he wants to do it the old fashioned way.If Bungie's next game is singleplayer, no PC port. Grandpa doesn't give a fuck about being (((anti consumer)))Bungie is crunching right now, working overtime. New game for PS6, and updates for Marathon. Anyone who doesn't like it, will get replaced by japs.
>>565349139uh oh
Just murdered some asshole Vandal who was trying to ambush a guy who was exfiling. He was slobbering like a dog busted his prime ability and everything to try and run at the exfil before the guy left. He ran right by me which he would've noticed if he hadn't been so thirsty for the kill. I came out behind him and downed him while he was shooting into the smoke at the guy exfiling. I hope he saw what happened and appreciates the karmic justice.Idk why, I'm actually really nice to people in this game. I usually don't attack first, only shooting if you shoot at me. I don't like ambushing people either, feels like just sucker punching someone, not a good feeling. I only like head on battles where both teams or inviduals are engaging directly.
>>565349708>t.
>chuds can't get pussy so they joke about rape all the time
>>565349708>If Bungie's next game is singleplayer, no PC port.Why the fuck would they put Bungie on a singleplayer game when they bought them to make live service games and be an advisor to the other live studios? They haven't even made a game with proper singleplayer since 2010.
>>565352234>Why the fuck would they put Bungie on a singleplayer gameThe same reason they cancelled PC ports. Boss said PS6 will release with exclusive single player titles. What's Bungie going to say, no? Their employees are gonna get replaced by Jin, Hayabusa, Chang and Rajesh in an instant. And they will make a single player campaign, with some kind of coop on the side, possibly.
>>565346102well if you looked on day one the majority of the reviewers were from 30 minutes of playtime or less calling it the best game ever
>>565352968You're retarded lol. Have fun coping after the layoffs and shutdown. The Bungie name has been raped into the ground, they are a money pit, there's no reason to keep the company going.
>vault space full so queue cryo to lose some>get matched with someone with a cryo skin>15 mins later>team in our lobby actually goes for compiler>"follow me">cryo guy takes me and the other fill up to ambush the team trying to do compiler>they slip into the arena at just the last second before we can get to them>wait by the door for them to kill it so we can rush in and murder them>they're taking a weirdly long time to kill compiler>final exfil is about to kick in 20 secs from now>hear footsteps near the door>they're retreating since final exfil is 10 seconds away from triggering>we activate the exfil outside the entrance and camp it>they're too afraid to come out>20 seconds left we take the last ride out>exfil cam cuts to one of the compiler runners just knifing a wall before he keels over and dies
>I got a lot of flak for an article I wrote, y'know, way back when, when there was the disastrous summer of plagiarism and playtest and stuff, about how Marathon is... like it's just not gonna work for Marathon, like it's just over for Marathon. And, through all this, through all the playlists, I don't... I really don't see a way back in terms of how this game can suddenly surge and become Bungie's next big thing and get, y'know, a lot of people attracted to it. I don't see it. I don't see a PvE mode doing it, I don't see free-to-play doing it. And you know, I don't see a way that they can do that, because they have launched this game as, y'know, a very high-skill ceiling extraction shooter, where one of the most popular modes right now is a mode where it plays the least like an extraction shooter.Paul is going full doomerHe thinks it's over for the game
>>565353651You're retarded, you know nothing about console publishers. Sony stopped caring about Steam the moment Totoki became boss, in 2024. Two years ago Steam became a non-issue for PlayStation. Ports cancelled.
>want to play solo>don't want to play as the invisible fuck>don't want to sit in queue for a yearmaybe next season>>565354842>caring about what this guy says at allwhat does this do for you
>>565355786>He thinks the numbers are better on consoleWho's gonna tell him
>>565355786>Totoki became boss, in 2024. Two years ago Steam became a non-issue for PlayStation.Yes, I'm saying that if Marathon did not release on Steam, and only sold 100K copies, it still wouldn't be shutdown. Just like Drawn to Death and other console-only flops, that you've never heard of. Sony kept servers up for a year, on everything.
>>565355786You're a fucking retard. Steam makes up over 70% of Marathon's playerbase, they said they still intend to put any live service game on other platforms like PC and Xbox. Guess what, that means? If Bungie isn't shut down this year, their next game is going on PC because it already doesn't make money on the PS5. Bungie is not getting treated like Naughty Dog, Guerilla, or Housemarque; they're getting treated like Firewalk and Haven Studios because they bought them to make live service games.
>>565355945>caring about anon caring about what this guy says at allhow does this personally effect you
>>565354842It's hilarious how this fucking retard knows nothing about itSponsored queue? Popular? Lmao
why are you even bothering to explain it? this schizotard has been saying the same shit since launch
>>565356405>If Bungie isn't shut down this yearAnd the kneeling begins. The backpedaling. Ku ku ku
I personally want Bungie to implement a class whose only ability is to violently explode when killedI want everyone that kills on final exfil for no reason to go down with me in a nuclear explosion that takes all of Tau Ceti IV with me
>>565357251What backpedaling?
Casuals lost
>>565357605How? The most popular mode is the casual Battle Royale mode.
Funny thing, there's 2 ways of identifying people with poor video game knowledge.First, they underperform in Marathon 2026.Second, they believe that Steam matters to PlayStation in 2026, and that Bungie is in danger.
>>565357657It's just an onboarding mode and it's not the most popular
>>565357848>An onboarding modeWho are they onboarding? They said it was a limited time mode but are extending it because it's so popular.
>>565357846>and that Bungie is in danger.https://www.ign.com/articles/sony-says-bungie-hasnt-brought-in-as-much-money-as-it-thought-it-would-when-it-bought-the-developer-as-destiny-2-falls-off-a-cliffI'm sure Marathon failing and having the same amount of players as Destiny 2 on steam (70% of the populations vs 25%) will mean everyone at Bungie is getting a pay raise! Retard
>>565358069They said they're just finalizing what to do for the next temporary mode so they extended this one a week
>>565358191>will mean everyone at Bungie is getting a pay raiseEveryone at Bungie doesn't matter, the brand matters(studio logo). Everyone at Bungie is replaceable, what Sony won't scrap, is the logo. And the studio with said logo, is developing a new game for PS6.It doesn't matter who gets replaced by Hiroki, or Rajesh, the studio is not in danger of shutting down, until one more game is released.
>>565358540The brand is already dead. Bungie is widely known as "the company that removes paid content from their games". If the Bungie name still meant anything, Marathon would have sold well and have a lot of players. But it doesn't, because it's a failure, just like Bungie.
>>565354024The top 1% that get to do Compiler should be justly punished for being lucky enough to even get a vault 6 key. Very nice
>>565358853>If the Bungie name still meant anything, Marathon would have sold wellMarathon would have sold less, without Bungie's logo, and Sony's marketing. Because when you see footage of Marathon for the first time, it looks like indie-slop dogshit, developed by five people. It looks like play dough mixed with Fortnite. That's what it seemed like, until I played it, and experienced outstanding combat. No one would shill it as an indie, Sony's marketing got an 80K peak, not the game itself.Without that marketing, Marathon would've released to a 20K peak, and have like 5K right now.
Imagine thinking, that without Bungie's logo, and Sony's marketing push(money) an ugly game like Marathon, would have sold anything.That's just funny, gameplay footage looked beyond ass.Nobody would pay $40
>>565359386This would have been true with the initial concept but if Marathon came out with the same style it has now, to an Indie team of 5 people, it would be praised as the bold breath of fresh air gamers have been begging for instead of CoDslop. Bungie is a toxic brand now.
>>565340148Don't forget the upcomming free to play extraction shooter FAIRGAMES!
>>565359386The logos and brands never matter, it doesn't matter what somebody made before. All of these>FROM THE MAKERS OF X AND Ygames always fucking flop, because they're shit. They're leaning on brand recognition when that doesn't work any more, good games just do well.
>>565344659Yes, because of the amount of time in each round. 10 fast aggro rounds vs 2 slow rounds. But you probably don't want XP as it puts you in the rape zone with the biotioxic disinjector spammers.
>>565359386My bad didn't realize I was talking to the avatar tard.
>>565359954
>>565344659If you want xp, your best way to get it is to just kill other players and do contracts. I'd recommend just doing sponsored dire marsh to grind up>you risk nothing since the kits are free>everyone's on equal footing so you have a better chance of securing kills>basically only need to do 1 or 2 team fights and then the map is entirely yours so you can exfil and multiply or do annoying contractsIf you don't have access to dire marsh yet just do solos and grind out the contracts with a free kit until you hit level 12
>>565339457hot

And they will buy it, as long as it looks pretty, easy and comfy(won't hurt their vagina).They'll buy it, oh yeah. They keep buying Call of Duty, Madden, Asscreed, they'll buy a non-cartoony Bungie game too. If it looks like a retarded, indieshit cartoon(Marathon at first glance), fuck no, they won't buy that.
Oh my God, it finally happened. Just got out of my first empty lobby.>Outpost fill>get first red, second red>no gunfire anywhere>'guys, wtf is going on'>third red, fourth red>go to pinwheel and run into two rooks>'hey, have you guys see any teams out there?'>none. zero. just us and two rooks>we loot pinwheel, Red Room, and Warden uncontested>run around the whole map looking for bodies. none.>no exfils trigger except for final exfil and it was just my team and the two rooksThis game is COOKED.
>>565361974Zoomers don't read and the ones that do don't understand what they're reading.
Game literally wont survive season till season 2 lmao
>>565362296Can you measure your arms for us lmao
I swear I dcon'd a demiosite rod and the contract showed 1/6 but after the round it was at 0/6. Not a single run contract, any one else had an issue like this?
>>565366390If a Thief or Vandal asks me to...
>>565365228I need this for my Truth/Lies 6/6 quest step
It has to be a slutty Vandal or Thief though.
Finally tried Cyro and extracted in crew fill after 6 attempts. It wasn't as sweaty as I thought it would be, but maybe SBMM was putting me in the "soft" lobbies.
Measuring body parts with men, is kinda gay. But if a Vandal wanted to compare sizes, IT'S ON
>15k max players in the last day and still in free fall >anyone who might have joined right now won’t because wipe is imminent Why are they bothering with a wipe at all?
Wipe doesn't matter, went 2 months without doing contracts, still able to kill anyone no problem. Will go another season without the gay contracts and just assault exfils. Yeaaaahh
>>565352169LOL. You don't get it. Rape is absolutely core to Marathon's design and gameplay.
>>565361057The funnier thing is that it WAS at 95 percent positive, and all those fuckers stopped playing>>565368509Measure the cat..
>>565369158they scheduled all events and major updates a year in advance and are sticking to their schedule no matter what. no pivots ever, we die like men.
>5 points 5 hours ago Yeah I can only play between like 7-9 AM US Central time normally. Matches don't come quick per se, usually about 5 minutes to find one, but it's not that bad of a wait.
>>565370756>5 minute queue into 1 minute of gameplay until rape
>vandal powerslide>headshot twice whilst powersliding and dieyay aim assist.
All these glazers blaming sour grapes *** ******* fans for Marathon failing are retarded. A game does not crash and burn this hard because of a grass roots seething campaign.

It's me, I'm in the incel that killed Marathon
>>565376612hi
>>565376612i've been looking for you
>>565376612if you killed it why does it currently have over thirteen THOUSAND players on steam alone?
>>565376612Don't you have a new playlist to cook up?
>>565376612How do you keep getting away with it?
I want to play this game tonight but I donated blood and don't wanna drink, and the game is only enjoyable when I drink
>>565379801i want to play this game but i played with a trio and it was so comfy that i have little desire to play without a trio comparatively to before
>still getting rushed in cryo spawn>Ziegler has the biggest fucking erection>The rest of the developers are getting ready to stand in the unemployment line or jump off Bungie hq rooftopIT'S SO FUCKING HARDCORE!!!!!!11111LELELELEL

>>565373234From what the cryo guy was saying, the door opens when you kill the Compiler but there's also a button on the inside you can press to open the door in case you wanna bail early.
>Cross confirms that Bungie will be shut down:)
>>565385769I didn't know he works at bungalow
Randoms are genuinely so fucking bad that I'm considering using discord lfg, shit I would expect some basic game sense if you're playing cryo.
>>565382183wow he's literally me
True!
>>565385769oh fuck I need to drive in and collect my memorabilia/trinkets. If I'm lucky I can wheel the Believe diorama out the freight elevator before the Sony men in black show up to burn it all down.
bungie was actually ahead of the curve with destiny by putting so many different kinds of experiences in one shooter, it's weird they've pigeonholed themselves here with extraction shit. the market for casual arcade shooters is in a weird spot right now where everything has to be million adjacent. I guess that's just the core consumer base from the 7th gen days aging
>>565386673tahnit is gonna an hero when bungo gets got
>>565386673We can't let the incels win
>it's another "down 2 of the enemy team runners by myself and then I get downed by the last surviving guy and my 2 fill team mates somehow can't kill a single fucking guy with cracked shields despite both being full hp" cryo episode.
>>565385982>cryo fill>teammates have no mic>have no sense of direction>they don't even know what they're doing here>sherpa them around avoiding other teams>looking for security tags>get lvl 3 and loot some locked rooms before exfilBungie should make it more clear what the whole point of this is. if we're not doing key rooms, we're just killing each other and bots in a freezer.
>>565389342gotta learn the place somehow. Pretty sure I exfil'd at least 5 times before I was confident enough to even bring a key.
>>565389813it just feels so unfulfilling if you're not doing a key or killing other teams though. oh well. guess it's a little fun.
Even the people who were in the middle are sick of the chuds at this point
Bloody incel chuds...
I was going to buy Marathon and have a blast but then my chud incel friends convinced me otherwise because it's woke and gay. I'm a real person BTW
Not beating the annoying allegations
>co-evolution 4/5
>>565365228Ive had a handful of them in solos already. At first I thought I was just getting better with exfil success. Nope. Game is just dead
>>565362296Get your blood pressure checked broIf i cut you with a piece of paper your skin would snap back like a rubber band

>>565321971>assassin needs a re-balance or maybe some tweaks for solo Q. right now the ability to ignore uesc or have them act as bodyguards when moving around / looting / exfiltrating is too strong compared to other classesI think their ult and tactical abilities should be flipped, and UESC should be able to hear them if they do anything more than crouchwalk and zero in on them
>>565393761lol just play thief or recon 5head.

Bloody chud hate campaign...
I wish you could run cryo solo, this game is so much easier when you don’t have to baby sit two retards.
It feels really good once you got a full grasp of cryo, lots of opportunity to quickly rotate and get behind teams that don’t know what’s up
>>565395930It’s just weird it isnt. It makes way more sense to be stalking and skulking through the Marathon solo then it does for 5 teams to rock up and treat the place like the thunder dome. It’s already kind of weird that in 30 minutes canonically>12 dudes rock up>kill 300+ UESC collectively>crack open several high security vaults>activate the subroutines of a dormant AI>decode your entire security system>kill the fucking alien you locked in a freezer they arent supposed to know exists>the entire time this is happening they're shooting each other on sight>then they fuck offlike we don’t even have any proper contracts from the factions were in contact with, we just go up there for the love of the game. Feels fucking weird>>565397902It has been a lot more enjoyable to play after learning the map, but getting two team mates that don’t know what they’re doing still really hampers the experience. The bubble meta is also just annoying as hell. Do volt weapons still kill the bubbles faster? If so I’m half tempted to just always take one with me so I can crack the bubbles quicker.
I'm on the second weekend of not playing marathon. Feels great.
>>565399045I'm on my eighth, just wait until you get to where I'm at. The server slam was fucking gay.
can Truth/Lies 6/6 be done solo?i've tried a few times now but by the time i get into Pinwheel it takes too much time activating the two locks and i run out of time.
A beautiful and daring 16.7k
>>565399767I stand with Paul on this, Marathon is fucking gay
>>565399918Yes, but it's rough and requires a lot of luck/cooperation from randos.
>oh man I sure love NOT playing this game>yep, it’s really important I broadcast how much I don’t like this game by coming here, the Marathon general, and telling people how happy I am that I’m not playing it>I actually haven’t played it since the beta! Man, I’ve just been counting the days I gotta tell ya>Let me post about this journalist who wants the game to fail, he does some great stuff! After that I might check out the steam charts while I’m at it, just so I can see how low the player base numbers are today (I make sure to check them everyday)>this is definitely what a normal and healthy human being doesDoes this general have the highest population of mentally ill nutcases? I’ve really never seen this before with other generals, it’s absolutely insane
>>565399767Noce to see that Paul is moving on
>>565400379He's going to continue to shit on this game since it killed Bungie, he does whatever is best for Bungie, whether they realize it or not.
>>565400185>Does this general have the highest population of mentally ill nutcasesgenerals are all populated by mentally ill nutcases anon
>>565400185watching Bungie's glowing halo crumble to dust in real time makes for great narrative, can you really blame them for spamming the thread
>>565400185the raped
>>565400185I mean, if I wasn't a mentally ill nutcase, I would actually be doing something productive and thus not be here. I assume it's basically the same thing for most other people here, so...
>>565378589He's doing NOTHING.
>>565400512Most people just treat 4chan as an edgier version of reddit anon, pretending like only the sick or depraved or disturbed come here is just not even close to reality. You know what I actually mean>>565400519Yes, because anyone that holds some kind of grudge vendetta against a company that hasn’t directly wronged them is just showcasing they have the emotional intelligence of a child. If any of the people obsessed with seeing Bungie die told their therapist how they’d spent their time they would have their work cut out for them to say the least because there’s nothing normal at all about it.>>565400804>you see I’m not doing anything productive and I’m a loser, so it actually makes sense for me to be jumping up and down screaming about how much I hate this game in a place where people who actually like the game gather>I mean there’s other losers like me so like it just makes sense right?No, it really doesn’t. Nothing about it makes sense.
>>565391132>>565391316>>565391965Your idle bumps to try to keep the thread from slipping to vm are more sad than anything else.
>>565401862I want people to see your failure, retard. Do you think this is my first Concord?
>>565386673The funniest part about Marathon's everything and the whole "hate campaign", most of the people dissatisfied and/or let down were genuinely hyped and gave it an honest try.
>>565399918Not realistically.>>565400061Help from randos isn't exactly solo.
>>565401941I hate Marathon and have the CE
>>565402015I played a few of the test periods, I reported every time in my survey , (paraphrase)"idk who this game is for, fps people have their comforts and don't really like questing, people new or on fence or jut wanna pve won't be won over how BR-like the action is. The moratorium and behind the scenes on this game will be interesting
>>565401941I think the game kinda sucks but I still play it everyday. Yes, it's shit but it's a new Bungie feeling shooter which will keep me happy until it either shuts down or the next Halo game releases or Bungie remasters D1.
The game is kind of dogshit. I only play it because I don't have anything better to do, honestly.
>>565394964it's passive. but if you'd play the game you'd know that.
The occasional compiler trace is the only thing keeping me out of the credit debt, failed run after failed run...
>>565222818They listened to streamers during playtests, thinking that would bring in players, instead of the normal valid assumption that bringing in players brings in streamers too.
>>565398995>Do volt weapons still kill the bubbles faster?I believe they patched it out but reduced bubble HP overall.
>>565222950>Destiny 3>Overpaid VA's and Celebrity Music composers>Mediocre cutscenes>Story and Lore locked in a codex only 10% of the pop will even glance at and will just rely on youtubers to find out about
>>565402013Solo queue does not mandate you kill everyone you see. It just usually means that. Sometimes if you ask people will help you out.
>>565405048desu the C.A.R.R.I. update came out way too late to fix the community in this game, there's like no reason to trust anyone now.
Guys it has Jennifer English so it's GOTY

>Cropped because console UI
>>565405701Swear the game knows when you're trying to chill and just throws God's sweatiest, most unemployed, aggressive gamers at you.
>>565393419lmfao do you have any more of these
>>565405950Those are the only people left playing, retard
>>565398995Cryo makes Orion and the UESC in general look like incompetent idiots too. Like 200 bots, a runner team, having uncontested access, and they got fucking rocked by a destiny strike boss.Meanwhile some dipshits who are all spending 95% of their time shooting each other can roll through, break through all the UESC security stuff, the Marathon security functions, roll into the room and kill the thing Orion couldn't even escape from - all in under half an hour.
>>565306739>>grenades were 2x2 inventory space and could not stack in your backpack1x2 but not stackable would be fine, and/or having the grenades take longer time to throw or set off
>>565406050That can't be true because I'm still playing

>>565407143we finally got PvE mode, just not in the expected manner
>>565407143Makes you wonder what/if there is some sort of thing that ushers the game along if matchmaking is all dead ends, like how you could get those D2 pvp games where it's 4v4 and just never changes for the full length. Though I imagine with Marathon they probably would shuffle in somebody on shit net just to fill things out. I know that could happen in D2 when you could randomly get people in southern europe and turkey and you're in like Pennslyvania
lovin the game Marathon by Bungie
>>565398995I always think of that faggot Skarrow and a few others who had the early look he kept saying "i've never seen this in video game before" and other bullshit and like even for a hard chaotic map, Cryo is fucking shit. I had better times in Koschei and Building 21 in DMZ and that game could be such a lopsided mess. The other thing is it feels like something you weren't supposed to rush around like a dickhead given all the environmental story telling and other shit.
I just finished the opening tutorial and the first 2 contracts you get and I got my ass handed to me by just the random CPU enemies in the solo zone. Am I that bad or is this expected? I guess I underestimated how quickly you can die in this game and taking on multiple enemies is rough. I really dig the setting and feel of the game so far
>>565408979yeah that's normal
>>565406963delete this>>565408197there is, it spawns you into empty lobbies to offset the danger of long queue times. the pve players win.
>>565408979the only bad choice you made was getting a copy of marathon before it goes on sale for 80% off in two months. but also yes it's normal to die to the npcs, happens constantly. don't tunnel vision too hard on completing your contracts, they're designed to run you into other players so you'll get in tons of fights.
>>565408979Normal. You'll soon learn to not die to the bots, it's just using cover and taking on 1 at a time
>>565408979The bots are dangerous in ways you might not expectRecruits can have shotguns/volt pistols/scout rifles, they will plink you down, the shotguns hurt but not like a real shotgun would - their main danger is swarming/alerting othersAssaults take a lot of punishment but are probably the least dangerous of any bot, they're inaccurate, they shoot slow, their bullets don't hit hard. They have an annoying melee that will shove you if you get close and knifing them sucks but they're total pushovers outside of just being sponges.Grenadiers have a very dangerous gun, high accuracy, and can launch salvos of grenades that if you don't dodge will nearly kill you at white/green shields. They also have a lot of health, they're generally going to be the main threat.Ghosts are kinda just random pieces of shit, they have a volt thrower (volt SMG) and if they rush you can absolutely shred your health even faster than grenadiers. They can also run much faster than any player can sprint and shoot with great accuracy while doing so, but are about as flimsy as a recruit. Most the time they aren't particularly terrible but sometimes they'll just speed into you and blow your ass up.Scouts have sniper rifles, they will show a laser for about half a second before taking a shot, if you're aware of it it's easy to dodge by just going behind cover for half a second, they're a little more durable than Ghosts, and will also heatblast you if you try to melee them.Moving in and out of cover makes 95% of bot fire miss you, so if you can take out Grenadiers/Ghosts first you can just live next to a wall and kill everything pretty easily. Commanders aren't much different they're just tankier.
>>565400061>>565402013clanmate got on and it took a few tries, but we did it.MIDA is fully complete, pretty cool ending to the quest
>>565398995Yeah slowpokes that don’t know the map at all are a drag for sure, I get not having vent memorized but like alot of these fills don’t even understand each wing is connected to the adjacent wing. Some of these people we’ll get level 2 and then they wanna push out from the control 1 door to low ground I don’t think volt makes a difference for bubbles but honestly you can melt them really quickly if you can get your team to actually shoot it
>>565408448>"i've never seen this in video game before">has never seen laser trip wires>has never held E to interact with anything>has never had to kill waves of mobs for loot>has never shot another player>has never had to look up at multi story designed levels beforefuck, should i just become a game journalist?
Remember that giant wall of text about how cryo was the pinnacle of map making design and it turns out its small and shit
>Play solo as Recon; Destroyer; Vandal>get dunked on by assassins, have a bad time>Play assassin>Lobby wipe every match, have a BLASTIt was that simple...
>>565413628>"I've never seen this in a video game before"Like Cryo is cool, but it's done nothing new - it's just a novel combination of existing parts. Outpost and Cryo are the best maps because they have made accessing stuff dynamic and interesting with other players in the mix, but broken down to base components it's stuff like 'pick up green keycard for green door' or 'kill enemies to unlock doors'.Unlocking the vault doors is a challenge, but the actual 'puzzle' inside the vault is literally just 'find three of X terminal' - the only interesting part there is that you are doing it under the stress that you know other people might be coming for you.
>be me, Destroyer, doing final Traxus quest, on step 1/5>have to scan a supply ship, easy enough>have run through 5 different matches on Perimeter with no supply drop in sight on either end of the map>last game I just gave up and starting dicking around, killed two Assfags, one pleaded to spare him even though he jumped me, I knifed him, and literally didn't see or hear anyone else for the rest of the match>do the profit opportunity, exfilTHANK YOU BUNGIE, WHEN I NEED THE SUPPLY DROP IT'S LITERALLY NOWHERE TO BE FOUND! NO REALLY, THANK YOU, FUCKING AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

everytime I run cryo I unironically get steamrolled by a team randomlyit's been 5 times now and my random fill squad just crumbles and it all happens in a split second of rape
>>565422232Welcome to Marathon
>>565422079My dad was getting nukes on Black Ops 2(2012), that's 30 gun kills without dying in multiplayer. He'd camp it out on Marathon too. I wish he could see me play. Yup, my dad was cool :^)
I feel like the way I drew the flare marker looks vaguely phallic. Also I definitely missed some shit, I like Dire Marsh much less than Outpost/Cryo.
>>565406678A destiny strike boss that dies to 3 Magnum shots in the original game yet in NuMarathon it would take thousands to pull that off. And the guns are more advanced somehow.
Marathon breaks the weak and elevates the strong

I am biased towards Marathon 2026, because I love the combat. I did think it looks like indie-trash developed by 3 people, when I saw gameplay footage, but I accepted the style, because it plays too good. Too good.It's unfortunate that Sony did not insist on having a singleplayer campaign, and le social hub, for the players with vaginas to vibe in.It is Sony's fault, not Bungies. PlayStation had the power to delay it for another year, and release it with cinematic, coop-PvE content, and making PvPvE the enegame.>Perimeter, Marsh, Outpost and Cryo should be the four steps of the endgame, not the main game.Yes, Sony could do it, but didn't. Well, at least the combat is so juicy and delicious, it was worth playing.

>>565426553They must have had to remake the game several times, all the years that went by. Look at the art difference between the first trailer and the ones near release.
>>565426748>Look at the art difference between the first trailer and the ones near release.The first trailers were not in-engine, they're CGI, yes? The alpha with bad graphics is understandable. I'm saying that Marathons looks worse on footage, than in-game, natively. Youtube and Twitch make games look worse, and Marathon specifically looks bad. Totoki had time from 2024 to 2027, if he decided to delay the targeted release date. They could make a campaign.Totoki calls the shots since 2024, not anyone else.
>>565425948>>loot red room and dip, yelling on proxy for the remaining rook he can have itAren't you cool, mr fun haver
>>565221695Nice, I love the copper head
>>565427071None of its in-engine. I'm talking about the teaser 2 years ago compared to the cinematic trailers shortly before release. Characters look totally different and environment is more clean and mirrors edge in the first one.
>>565426553it is really nothing special
>>565427702>I'm talking about the teaser 2 years ago compared to the cinematic trailersOk, the less detailed doll face, right? Changing up models isn't a big deal, I don't think they had to change the game because of that. There had to be many more reasons, like balancing disagreements.
>>565427707Game's very exciting to fight in. But that's not enough for most people, I know.Still, it's the most delicious combat I've had. Juicy, impactful.
>when the techno bit of music hits
>queuing with 6k players
>>565427275It's not a difficult task. Flip a coin enough times and you'll eventually get the result you want.
>>565428309You might get lucky and get to be the solo team on outpost. Or get the sweatiest lobby where everyone rushes the same poi in less than 3 minutes.
>>565428309>>queuing with 6k8(eight)K, because there's at least 1K on each c****le. And it's 5AM on a work day. In 12 hours, 8K will turn into 17K.4 maps, 17K = 4.2K players per map. Yeah, we chillin.
ez 17k tonightwe chilling
Why would I need more than 4K for 4(four) maps?17K will be too many.>too many friends to make>too many holes to fill with sekigoopy>too many shells to smack with veiny Recon cockThis is Marathon.
Too many Vandals and Thieves to catch, and inject Biolens Sneed
>be lonely in the hood>Triage shows upSimple, and fun game.
I find this [REDACTED] shit lame and gay. This is the kind of thing you get in a Roblox game. Can they really not tell a story without literally blocking parts out?
[Nona]: hello sweetpea, its once again time to grind up bug juice, mix it with adderal and inject it into your body!
I don't know which c*ns*le to get 100% on. I don't wanna eliminate UESC commanders, I don't wanna grind for levels. I have lvl 102 on Xbox, without eliminating 28U ESC Commanders.Platinum trophy is cooler I think, but I wanna play for fun and not for XP.>why careGame dying who knows how soon kek
>>565435159Mommy
Will Bungie be super retarded, and release season 2 without new achievements and trophies?>Exfil 10 times on Night Marsh>Kill 20 giga mutant aliens on Night Marsh>Revive 15 rivals with Mercy Kits>Complete a contract and exfil using a FREE sponsored kit on Night MarshWould be very retarded not to add new cheevos.
>>565437498who cares
>>565435159It's not even that, it's that you have to run across the entire map, likely twice, and get a runner kill at the end on top of that. I was shocked that Co-Evolution 2 didn't have "then exfil" condition.
>>565437908they all seem much easier on solo, especially as vandal. it DOES suck that most of the sexgucci missions have the same loop tho.
>>565437364
>>565437760Me, I love this game.
>>565438115Hug mommy I will do everything for mommy
>>565400185Holy shit dude are you actually stupid like all the bungie rape victims?>People have tried the game since last year, it barely got polished in the span of over 7 months since the first closed beta to the release>Over 100k players on server slam, and 88k players on launch, bled all the players in both cases>Ignored player feedback, listened to youtubers and twitch retards instead>People now see the defenders of this shit like monkeys in the zoo, some mock you and it hurts your feelings like when they say you'll never be a real woman>The game didn't change from the beta to full release, and mid season patches are so shit, some of them are posted by different twitter accounts. Oh and please tell me more about your gay BR mode>The journo and steam charts are what we have regarding transparency of the reality, which you want to shut down>This circus is so funny to us lurkers, to the point that it's a soap opera as the player count dwindles yet we're the mentally illThe goodwill people gave for this is gone, and now we just shit on something that expected us to care without our respect, if it wasn't for the funny rape memes here this thread would be fucking dead and sad.
>playercount went up on a Thursday with no updatesSo either the game has reached equilibrium in playercount and will fluctuate up and down slightly or Bungo turned on the botfarm to up those numbers last night.
>Runner, have you been spending time with that Traxus W̷̧͈̼̬͓͉̘̹̤̣̰͆̄̍̉̈͐̓̀͗͝͝ͅḣ̷̢̺̹̬͖̼͖̻̫̙̤͜ơ̵͔̄̀͛̈́̈́̔̏̈́r̶͍̎̈́̋̓̄̽̍̾͛̄͋̽͌͠͝ȩ̸͎̪͇̘̮̘̞͍̫̝͉̀̀̋̂͆͛̾͜͝ again? why choose cold metal over the splendor of synthsilk?
>>565439470The rich lady from Traxus said she would buy me bideo games if I showed her my wiener
>>565439584she will succ you into her vacbed.
>>565439434I think that it might be because Cryo Archive became available.>>565439470I do find it funny that when you contact Traxus, ONI says "I'm familiar with her" regarding Vulcan.
>>565439816>i'm familiar with herpretty sure they're all AIs from the marathon.
>>565439910Like the colony ship? I doubt it.
What Marathon needs:>Less grind>More content>More QoLIf season 2 won't provide this, the game is doomed.
>>565441269Impressive Xbox numbers, I didn't even know 525K people bought one
>>565441269Is this reliable data?
>>565439434It’s on sale for 20% off
>>565441419>Xbox - 525kGonna say no based on that KEK
>hardcore fps>look inside>invisibility>aim assist>magnetism>
>>565441814b- but you lose all your gear when you die!
>>565441419Yeah
>>565440768It's fucked, not even a new map would help, lowering the grind isn't going to bring back the people who burnt out grinding this season and means nothing to new players.
>>565418360>dead dadwow this spamposter makes a lot more sense now with this lore drop
>>565370207>Measure the cat..3 times bigger than Marathon's Bingus, around 20 pounds
>>565439470Traxus mommy is the only vendor I care about
>Marathon 2026 is one of the best video games of all time>Dedicated Marathon players are friend to none, prey to none, predator to allIt is what it is.
>>565444303How many compiler kills you have?
whitey actin tough but whitey don't own a pitbull, whitey owns a pussycatwhitey ain't smokin crack, whitey smokes malborowhitey ain't playing Madden NFL, whitey be playin pregnatawhitey has tiny stick arms because whitey can afford no food
How many compiler kills does whitey have?Das rite.Zero.
>>565409093>>565409726>>565409871>>565410545Ok cool, appreciate the help. How long do players typically hang around in the solo perimeter zone? I am still getting used to the map and the enemies, I assume I shouldn’t rush into the PvP maps yet.
>>565445940In solo I've killed cryo skins, pve doesn't matter
>>565446446viper literally went to prison for keeping a sex slave
>>565447147based
>>565447835rajeesh...
lmao, biggest shill of the game and he didn't even beat the game
It's a PvP game, other achievements are on sale
>schizo is so obsessed with raping people that he can't find time to beat the final bossnot sure if based
>>565449106I have half the mastery skins by accident and people are paying for them?
>Let's look for trash keys and do Pve>Shoot the robots broI don't think so.
>>565449198>I have half the mastery skins by accident and people are paying for them?If there were no shell skins in the store, I would pay boosters. I will not do contracts for skins. I don't do Pve period.
oh he's mad
>>565446994> I assume I shouldn’t rush into the PvP maps yetI made the same assumption and stayed too long in the perim and marsh map. I fucked myself out of low skill level outpost, don't do that to yourself.
>>565453104The other piggy Triage skin is way better
>>565453104The milk mustache on that recon ruined it for me. These designers don't know what they're doing.
>>565453104default is still the best vandal skin
>>565453562looks like crueltyman
>>565453667And that goes for most of these I'm afraid. The paid skins are fucking horrible.
>>565453930i hate how many skins are all black. we have like three different collections that are black on black with trim
>>565454082It's strange to me. Bungie resisted adding a completely black shader to D2 for years and years, correctly assuming it's all people (hunters) would use, only to give out black skins in Marathon immediately.
>>565454393funny how it's better to use all the base weapon skins because bright colours get you killed
>>565454524>bright colours get you killedno they dont lol every building in this game is vibrantly colored. people only see movement and silhuettes
>>565454524I only use about 30% of skins across the entire game. They're all so bad bordering on eyesore.
>>565454743cyac looks bad on everyone, like a shitty razor promo skin. mida is overall the best.
