Game is good. I like this game. I enjoy playing it.
Are you ready for CREATURES to eat your ass in Night Marsh?
Nigh Marsh is beyond ass, because every nigh map is, need flash lights = trash.Sentinel is ass, because no sexy face or big boobs = trash
>>568970838So long as they’re using Vandal’s lips I’m puckered.
>>568971056nice wintertime pajamas
>>568971056Your cat deserves to not be owned by a schizo
>>568970838yeah
Stack Overflow is gone
thermals for snipers are gone but there is a new darksight scope
>>568971894Sources tell me Bully is stable. Please God.....
>>568972562i imagine it won't be in a freekit any more but i don't think they touched it too much
If bungie wants me to use an SMG that is not bully they really need to buff the alternatives
Working gamer dad said he has never exfilled Cryo, so I started the exfil as soon as possible, to make sure he doesn't get out this time either. We did clearance 4 with coolant and batteries or some shit
>>568974786Copperhead is fine outside of ammo consumption. Better than Bully in terms of sheer killing power. Abysmally bad gold mod tho. BRRT... I dunno. Feels awkward to use, but technically also outpaces Bully in terms of DPS. Same issues with ammo economy on top of limited mag size.>>568972972There's no way they aren't going to overnerf it in availability if not power. Except it to be gone from both credit purchase and low-tier salvage barter.
>>568971056sentinel is the hottest shell so far
>>568974786What they need are two classic smgs - UZI/MAC and MP5. MP5 is classic, design so efficient, effective it is nearly perfect. Sure even 900 years in future they would not discount that.
So fucking tit twistingly mad right now why the FUCK does it seem like my WSTR just fucking tickles and pisses on people but a random rook's WSTR can seemingly just fucking two tap my purple shield STILL
>>568975201I kneel
>Co-evolution 5/5>4 players die within the first 3 minutes of the round (I observed it happen, and I killed the fourth)>The rest are lord knows where>Rush bio>quarantine>back to anomalyMy ass was still clenched harder than ever.
>>568975505Cheats. What else. Do you even bother to look at people's profiles?
>>568970291Great, finally completed a cryo run with zero issueteam rushes exfil, team doesn't wait for me - literally 2 seconds behind
>level 99>get out with anomaly>still only sells for 6k creditsI thought this thing started dropping actual salvage above level 80? I'm 99 right now.
>>568977893Did you count the salvage you had before the mission? It's dumb in this way, it doesn't sell for 6k, it contains 6k worth of salvage inside. And it can be gold or purple salvage, but it won't tell you what you rolled.
>>568976246No, I don't, because the UI for looking at profiles just sends friend requests half the time and is unintuitive when I'm crashing the fuck out.
>>568978010>Did you count the salvage you had before the mission?No, and that honestly seems really dumb. At the very least I know it didn't give me any gold savage because I don't see any in my vault.
barricade still fucking bugs out like the alpha playtestmaybe they'll get around to fixing it in season 12
Claymores in this game are functionally useless if someone has above room temp IQ.
>>568980728Fortunately,
>>568981026I feel kinda bad for Orion. He is a war criminal and all that, although safeguarding Marathon and Colony considering they have Spht to deal with and that Anomaly is no easy job, especially with runners mucking things up.
Huge haul with what I thought was going to be an abysmal start with the 4k sponsor kit giving me a magnum and a BR33. Took both these golds from another Recon with the classic crab/knife combo, deeked all her CB shots, still riding the high.
>>568982597Recon is gonna go crazy with the new stat system, I'm gonna just go all in on the stuff that gives me Tactical/Primer Recovery.
>>568980728yeah they are pretty worthless now, used to do ok with them.
>>568985872Yeah it's because they decided to give player placed claymores a huge shining light that is really fucking obvious even if you try to nest it near a door and it also still has an arming time so if they walk in and trigger it they can just backstep a bit and instantly negate it. I only ever use them now when doing key rooms as an early warning system for players trying to push me.
>>568985872Put them above the door lintel
>>568980728>Rush up pinwheel as rook as soon as it opens from somewhere else>No other entrance door is open>Hear gunfire from flight control direction>Guess we aint friendly today, scumbagery it is>Put like five claymores right up against the big rising door from the flight control elevator>Get 3 downs 15 seconds laterYou just got find the weird spots where they can't see the light AND won't have a convenient door frame to duck behind once they do
>start game on outpost with blue sponsor kits to fuck around>kill a duo, green shield and white that pushed almost immediately into processing, they had two reds>fight a crew of two greens and a purple near the flight control red, barely win>hear stuff up in Pinwheel, eventually go up>shoot a blue shield/green shield, kill a Thief in drone wing, see via recon ult that there are 4 people at the end of the wing, and they take the elevator to escape, leaving the blue thief>after fucking around for a while, doing command wing because we still only had the two reds>about to leave, get shot at and lose to a full party of purples, Vandal, Recon, and ThiefI am so fucking confused about how many people and who was in what crew, nobody was using prox chat, but I feel like there had to be some group queue fuckery given the weird groupings of people we found at various points
>>568992909>4 people Could have been grouping with a Rook.
>>5689930914 people after killing one, so it was a group of 5. And that's what I figured, 2 people + 2 rooks. But counting by crews, there should not have been that crew at the end that killed us.>first crew killed immediately at processing>second crew near flight control red>third crew accounted for via killing a Thief, so they should have been down a person at least>we are the fourthBy that point there should not have been another full crew alive, and definitely not a full purple shields crew. Like the only real explanation I can think of was that those groups we killed earlier were not crews, but just scattered people (like the green green purple crew), but also they were clearly working together. Also never saw a rook a single time, just the indication that maybe the extra two markers we saw in drone wing were rooks.
>Dire Marsh is actually far less sweaty than Perimeter Does this happen in any other end of season extraction shooters? Where the horrible rape map becomes far less rape-y?
holy fuck the sounds under bio-research in those lower tunnels are genuinely unnerving
>>568994103The rape just kind of distributes itself whenever it peaks in some more densely raped areas. Outpost has been rape city for the past week to the point you can guarantee that there will be people at either Destroyed Wing fighting on the roof/inside Orientation, or trying to get on Flight Control's roof. Perimeter idunno, it has been kind of rapey but not as bad as Darsh or Outpost for me.
huhuhuh
>>568995905Big money
When is EoS? I don't know if I wan to play again but I might come back during the free week to kill shitters before I start dying to gigasweats again. Did they wipe between seasons? I don't want to grind for my shit again
>>568997836Definitely saved me an hour or two
Yippee!
>>568998094This year
>>568998094EoS is on june 31st
>>568998094EoS is tomorrow, play while you can.
free kit on perimiter and we run into a gold squad running golden full auto shotguns really cool.
Bros we survived the 6 day review bombing campaign by destichuds
My motto for the season
>it's been 3 months since Hamish updated the Marathon story pagedoes he hate the new game?
How long until the wipe? how many hours?
>>56900521335
Is there any news on the season pass also tomorrow is the state of play stuff, do you think Sony has something special tomorrow?
Anyone want to grind Sekiguchi contracts? Standard or priority, idk
I've got 8 levels left until I hit 100. Why is leveling so fucking slow all of a sudden? Do I have to kill 100 uesc to make a run worthwhile in terms of XP now?
>>569005405That Wolverine game will take up a large chunk of attention, I don't think we're seeing anything special.
>>569006470I find that looting a bunch of shit or killing at least 1 guy gets you 1/3 to 1/2 a level depending.
>>569006470only way to level up fast was cryoi was level 75 with like 20 days to go but didnt wanna grind so i decided to dedicate 1 level a dayPS you won't make it and won't unlock the trophy, 8 levels in one day is impossible
>>5690073518 levels in one day seems totally doable to me. I just have to get my grind on.
>got subroutines for 3, 4, and 5 in a single day with randoms, along with half a vault of golds and like 5 dna cardsComing from Dedstiny I am actually shocked that the average random here at least has a room temp IQ, cause this has been way easier than I first thought. At this rate I'm gonna get my Compiler kill tomorrow easily.
>just spamming rook outpost for pulls on the slot machine>already up 100kI think I can get this milly easy
I'm gonna basedpog so fucking hard when we get an underground cave system map and the update is called Pathways into Darkness.
I don't get a chance to play much but yesterday me and my friends cleared cryo (it was my first cryo clear) it was really fun. We got level 3 and got into some cool rooms, and we wiped a squad too. I found some 12k yellow cube. Game is fun when all 3 players are locked in.
I think it would be cool if there was a Rook Riot event where the whole map was just Rook players and there were special event missions only Rook could do.
>>569011747Cycling map modifiers would be nice. Kind of like how it works in Deep Rock Galactic.
>>569012085Yeah, I know they don't want to get too silly but they could come up with some fun ideas I think.
>>569011747I just want deathmatch/gun game in Control/Pinwheel/Algae/Station
>94% couldn't do thishahaHaha
Great battle royale game, with looting elements. One of the best ever, along with CoD Blackout (October 2018) and CoD Warzone (March 2020).Marathon does take more skill than both of those. Hats off to Zignner and Bungie
Do you think we'll ever see contraband shields and backpacks?
>>569013750What's a contraband in Marathon? I'm super VIP and never heard of it
>>568981970UESC actually holds human civilisation together. They are constantly on the brink of food collapse.
>>569013797Red rarity. It's what the 6th vault key, compiler trace, compiler ganglion, and the goo gun are.
>>569013868Ok cool, I'll have care bears gift me red stuff in PvE mode(sike, nobody's gonna play this game because of GTAVI and MWIV coming out)
>>569014153Surely the normies are burned out on those franchises. 4 was a disappointment but I still bought 5 like a cuck. Not falling for it again.
can't wait for darkness maps in summer, brosand I LOVE the heavy vignetting the game displays for every fart that the player does or is happening to them. Very cool and very cherry on the cake
>>569014323>can't wait for darkness maps in summer, brosespecially in northern sweden with the midsummer sun. can't wait to not see shit
>>569014248Normies are shit eating pigs that run entirely on brand-recognition.GTA6 will not flop, even though it absolutely should.
>>569014323I find it weird when you are close to a wall and it has some effect like your supposed to be watching through a screen. Thought my monitor had a problem (its 15 years old looks like film grain anyway)
>>569014248Normies go where their friends go, the "full" Marathon experience is taking loot and exfilling after PvP. This game is played by people who don't have many friends.Gameplay is good, but word of mouth doesn't help much, because it's played by nerds who don't have a group that sticks with them. GTA and CoD players have groups they talk to, that's why they keep buying each game, to keep talking lol.
>>569014410What is a curtain. When I worked nights I had a roman blind on the inside of the window box and then thick curtains on the wall over the window. Worked well. That said, touch grass
>>569014323it's gonna be this btw
>>569014609guess i need those light blocking curtains, current ones don't do much
>Bro is too scared to play night marshWhy do people forget games aren't real?
>>569016635I like to see things without carrying a fleshlight(you) all over the place
Night maps rock, get some taste and maybe calibrate your monitor properly lmao.
>>569016882>Night maps rockName three
>>569016716Thats a lot of words to say "i'm a little baby bitch boy" without just saying you are in fact a little boy of the baby bitch variety.
>>569017097Hunt Showdown used to have them but the streamers all cried and had them turned into day maps with blue day for night filters. As usual casual shitters with protagonist syndrome ruin things for everyone.
>>569017097Duskwood, Night Desalle and Night Buried City.
>>569017097Hunt used to have them. I want to say they were removed 3 years ago but essentially crytek added stuff like muzzle flares where a shot could be seen even if it couldnt be heard and people got too pissy about having to "relearn the game" and it saw a player drop off and they panicked and either made them "full moon maps" where blue-white god rays illuminate half your field of vision at all times or just swapped to more of the same daytime maps so mardy streamers could still snipe each other as they hid behind fences with dynamite and sawn offs or whatever their one shot meta of the patch was.
>>569017135>>569017240>>569017273>>569017435All four of these will hate playing Night Marsh, they're being contrarian to own le streamer chuds
At the tail end of the season, I match with 2 guys who help me run Cryo to kill the Compiler. God bless both of them. One of my goals for season 1 has been achieved, now I just need 5 more levels for 100.
Nice mizzy, but I heard you move
>>569017817I can smell your fear.
>>569017918getting a few randos their first compiler was one of the highlights of the season for me, everyone's always super hyped
>>569017918I bounced off Cryo after doing a handful of games, mostly cause I just didnt want to get on the mouse wheel of farming up keys to try for a chance at getting vaults done.
>>569018086I was slightly shaking in the exfil room, looting all the stuff. I thought I was fucked until season 2 to kill him but I finally lucked out with a good group who wanted to help me.
>>569018067you're retarded
>>569017918>>569018086>>569018149Why do I only ever get mutes with zero idea what the fuck they are doing in my fill Cryo runs.
>>569018119If you can get the outpost red room regularly just snatch all the 1 and 2 keys you can. 1 has a great drop rate on DNA cards that you could use to find a group that already has the subroutines. I'm thoroughly convinced of key based matchmaking so bringing in a 1 or 2 key seems to increase the odds of encountering teams running 3-6 keys. I've cleared every vault multiple times including 6 and done multiple compiler kills in fills with keys I pulled off other players bodies. Never once have I farmed a warden for keys and I can barely go through all my cryo keys before I pick up more.Anytime you see a notification of lab breach your also free to rush up there yourself and gank the other team before they even finish clearing labs. In theory a team of players with 0 subroutines completed between them could do compiler
Can someone do a qrd of how cryo works
>>569018686You kill bots to search them for tags, collect enough tags to unlock doors. Then you search for coolant and batteries, to unlock more doors. Faggots will try to kill you with shotguns
>>569018557Might give it another go next season then.
>>569018823Also in total fairness the vault 6 key is insultingly rare and I’ve only ever seen a handful of enemy teams running it in cryo, it’s a big complaint and I have a feeling the upper complex room on night marsh will provide a more reliable way for people to get it
Dead gameRaped company
>>569018526To be fair, that's what I got for about 20-30 Cryo runs until I got these two kings who helped me earlier.
Max Cradle level will be 70. With 84 upgrade pips total (14 for all 6 categories), you'll be able to max out 5 stats if you leave the 6th empty.
>>569019132I think the idea of having those keys scattered around content you might want to play is a good idea as they roll along new maps/map variants. In S1 (until the current end of season updates) the keys were both rare and also really tedious to grind so having options on where you want to go is much more fun.
>>569018686It's a multi-layered maps with tons of spaghetti vents, ladders or room entrances in general a la OG Marathon, but simply said it's symmetrical with 3 POI on one side, 3 on the other and the central area called Control which is also split into two. The main mechanic is clearance, the higher the clearance level the more of the map you can access. You get levels by picking up tags scattered across the map, killing commanders, killing other players or scanning clearance monitors in spawns or some areas of the map. To get out of your spawn you need level one which you get from the commanders in there, depending on the monitors luck you may get level 2 which would allow you a better exit to Control or another team's spawn. If you don't get 2 there are loose tags, commanders and monitors on the lowground area of control, you can get lvl2 from them and then go to the spawns. If you get lvl 3 you can open the room in the center of control, there are two commanders, monitors and strongboxes there, if you get lvl 4 you can open an even more valuable roomin the same area, on lvl 5 you can get a shared 40k valuable on the bottom of Control. There's also vaults you can open with a key you get from other maps, for them you generally need a certain level of clearance, batteries, cryo coolants (another items scattered across the map), and do a puzzle. If you open all 6 vaults and get the DNA key in any of them you can fight Compiler which just shits out golds
how bad is the mida questline? i'm still on the first half (4/6? I gotta put bugs in some conference rooms in outpost) and i'm planning on cracking it out tonight in solosany specific quests in the questline I should watch out for? (i.e dont do it solo)also isn't there supposed to be server maintenance tonight?
>>569021828>how bad is the mida questline?Not bad, I'd say. The last contract is the hardest one, but only if you struggle with getting to command wing.> i'm planning on cracking it out tonight in solosGood luck defending the command wing solo. But I did most of Run/Hide alone, too. It's optimal, frankly.>also isn't there supposed to be server maintenance tonight?Tomorrow. For me, at least. I don't know what night is for you.
>>569020971>>569018686>>569018758also here's a map an anon madehttps://rentry.co/6rwx3y49
>>569021983ok, with quests that dont require exfil, can I just complete them and then leave the game? i'd only be losing a freekit so I don't careand i'm GMT/BST
>>569022190Many require exfil. Not all, though.>and i'm GMT/BSTJust 2 hours behind me. Yes, maintenance is tomorrow.
>>569021828definitely not as bad as sekgucci, tho you'll be in outpost a lot.
can't wait to drop into Perimeter (Beginner) and get constantly raped again. good times
>>569022407what time is the maintenance?
Dire Marsh (nightgod where the wild things are)
>>56902415016:00 of my time, so should be 14:00 of your time.
>>569024259ok, just I read a thing that said theres background maintenance today, with full servers going offline tomorrow for S2 (which I assume you're referencing the latter)
how do i become not shit at this game
>>568980728what did they do to claymores?
>>568975326>BRRT... I dunno. Feels awkward to useI think the BRRT has a better TTK than the bully, the problem is if you miss a burst it's extremely punishing, your TTK goes out the fucking window.
>>569025804not to mention you have barely any room to fuck around with misses ammo wise and can't do jackshit about it for some fucking reason
>>569017817>le streamer chuds>guys who have 200 viewers but botted up to 30k>Neither the 30,000 bots or the 200 viewers play any fucking games.>the entire industry has been warped around these fags, their retarded audience, and their lies
>>569024659Think about cover constantly. Learn about mouse aiming in depth (sensitivity, training). Sounds gay but it helped me.
>>569025850Also a great point.
>>569026171I feel like letting it at least take pistol mag mods or something would be nice. I could live with every element of the gun if I could get, I don't know, 2 more bursts out of the mag, maybe 3 to feel luxurious.
>>569026358Actually thinking about it, it should just be a burst P90. 50 round mag, 10 bursts a mag, easy. I don't think you need to adjust anything else. Every other game makes the P90 work, 50 rounds is great for a locked mag burst SMG like this. Just let it be a body mulcher.
>>569026358I picked up a volley rifle once that had 81 ammo capacity, like what the fuck
>>569025507nothing, but pretty much everyone is wise to them now so you have to be extra tricky.
>>569026626yeah its insane how much ammo you can stuff into it. its amazing for destroyer's ult.
Two levels left from 100. I can make it boys, I just gotta get on the grindmind.
>>569027740As a destroyer main I really love the core that ramps your missle dmg up with each volley, combined with the core that increases the duration per kill, and using those in conjunction with an LMG that has an extended mag with the chip mod that returns ammo on precision hits.If you position yourself correctly lock downs and boss fights end before your ult does.It doesn’t happen all the time, but if you can position yourself on a flank you can also mow down runner teams before needing a reload.
>>569034579Just kill a whole heap of bots. Keep going anon, you'll make it.
>>569035275I did spend almost all my money and most of my saved up gear in Cryo runs today so I'll have to do a lot of frigger kits.
Yeah, I'm good on Dire Marsh.
>>569035356>CryoYou can just solo on Outpost or Dire Marsh. Kill all bots on POI, then all the rest of them when reinforcements arrive. 6 runs and no particular effort assuming you dont get skinned by some retard.
>>569036814Thanks, gamer. I'll try that. I figured I'd just get in a bunch of Cryo runs today since I only ran Cryo like 4 times prior to today. In fact, I'd say 85% of my time in Marathon up until today has been solo perimeter.
https://x.com/MarathonTheGame/status/2061462775658852573TOTAL ARACHNE VICTORY
>>569038569No shit that the "Hunt Players" faction would be the most popular one in a game where you are enormously pressured to hunt other players. CyAc being #2 is also a given since doing almost anything benefits them.
>>569038569>airfield cold as icelol

The PvP-lite mode is called Sponsored Survival. June 2-9, sponsor kit only, Night Marsh only. One team of 3 per map, then Rooks spawn. 18 minute timer.

Lmao, the Xbox cosmetic.

>>569043316Oh right.
How the fuck do I disable crew fill?

>>569042767So this skin is basically outright admission that the Destroyer shell was based off the old Mjolnir Mark IV Cyborgs right? I mean even more than the normal skin.
>>569042767Rare win for xbox
>PLEASE WATCH OUR STREAMERS
>>569046467I could not give less of a shit about the cosmetics in this game. They fucked up BIGLY by not having shell customization. There has to be a solution that doesn't require hero skins
>>569042767my brother works at xbox and said assha shawarma pitched this idea to bungie directly

>>569047776The only time I noticed it was when I looted scrapped items.
>>569042558>queuing in solo and getting harrassed by an entire lobby of r**ks who all know you're the only real person on the mapthis sounds hilariously shit
>>569048176thats crazy i really thought you wouldn't make it
>>569048550It's 8 levels. Bit slow, yes, but hardly something that requires more than a day.
>>569046467No. And i despise anyone who watches their streams, or streamers.
Myelin streams are comfyHe usually streams at 1:00am (for me) so it aligns with my dogshit sleeping schedule, the timing is so fucked up he ends up helping NA players with cryo vaults while I have breakfastIt's a neet world out there
>>569046467Ugly skins, not worth my (view)
>>569023870This time, we will be doing the raping friend
>>569047776Discovered it when I looted my first Misriah.
>Go do Perimeter run just to spill spaghetti (gear).>Get into a team that actually uses comms, the other guy was a Diamond too and both with gold shields and very good gear.>Cool. >Comms sort of work and both of the teammates play aggressive and have brought ridiculously good gear.>Down a team and get some meds and upgrades, a key to that dreaded Station tick corridor room too.>Teammates push through the corridor side first, get cracked by snipes and retreat.>Already at this point have a really bad feeling as one of them said they cracked gold.>We head through the sewer entrance and manage to bait one of them down and full KO.>Instead of doing the same as me (taking like five-six steps back from that 2x2 tiny ladder spot), they start peeking up the ladder and get a grenade up their ass.>Now it's 2v1 in what is essentially satans asshole and the other players start backseating in the mics. >Considering it's another team in full golds and likely a ton of supplies, i'm essentially already behind as panacea kits were gone and i got scraped earlier when we downed the first dude.>Back off some more before healing and the diamond dude goes "Dude, dude heal up. They're gonna res him, theyre gonna res him!">I don't say nothing because i'm just astonished they both got KOd into the worst possible corner in a situation they could have avoided easily. It's a horizontal pipe vs. vertical pipe.>Time has passed and the obviously giga-nigga geared team likely had their friend up in a flash.>[Autistic screeching on mic]>Decide to just throw a smoke disc for a victory lap and run into the enemy team, because i sure as hell cannot hope to go 1v3 in a position without reset and the retards might as well be completely livid on getting their corpses rifled at that point.I-It would have been a couple of steps. Just couple of steps and we could have kept that angle on the granny Triage that fell down the stairs...
>>569050717Tunnel Vision is a real bitch like that.
Here we go. Last armory refresh of the season.
>>569051427In this case it was literal. I know i'm mid at best, but when your teammates get turned into blue paste and go from gold shields into a body bag in half a second, the place where it happens and how it happens matters too. It was like watching another team checkmate you out of an advantage solely because your crew couldn't think two steps ahead. I can still remember by far the coolest team effort from opponents winning a shootout being getting EMP up my ass by Triage Ult as a Destroyer and then getting team shot in a situation where pushing was advantageous in a 2v3.
It's technically possible for me to do vaults 2 and 3 today.
>>569046467You know you can just mute tab and have it in the background, right?
Did they brick the servers?>exfil>see thisWTF?
>>569052846Yes, you can do the fill lottery and get two hypercompetent teammates that will help you get these done.I'll leave estimating the odds of that happening vs getting two mute sponsored kitters to you.
If i dont get my run exfil registered, i will be so mad.
>>569053745Black screen means you were the last person on the map.
>>569054316It's not supposed to show a runner name and "leave crew" prompt.
>>569054316I know, and solo too, so why register as "leave crew"? Its solo. Means its fucked to hell.
>>569053954>>569054316Oh wait I'm retarded hope they don't fuck you.
>>569054527>used my golden key card>exfil and not on last exfil either>get royally fucked by Bungie's serversI am glad i did not buy a single shit from their shop or that battlepass shit.
So close.
>>569047076>They fucked up BIGLY by not having shell customization.this might well be the biggest mistake they made in the long run. Stats can be tweaked, new guns can be added, alternative game modes can be beta tested; but establishing that there will never be customization from jump is fucking retarded and will never change.
>>569055352Here we go.
I made a post in bug reports on Bungie's forums. Now IDK what to do.
https://x.com/MarathonTheGame/status/2061508076201484372
>>569057218If you're lucky (lol) Bungo might give you something in S2.
What's this new thing of people exploding into piles of loot instead of loot bags? Someone figure out how to make an emergency macro that spills your spaghetti with one click or something?
>>569057570I dont want something in S2, i want my Corrupted AI Log, weaveworm knots, and purple shield back. I was hoping there would be some yellow salvage, but there was none. No hazard capsule, no anything. Fucking hell, yellow key room my ass.Hell, if they just tick those entries off in my Codex i would be happy, screw the shield, i have like 10 more VIP rewards to claim from NuCal.I only did it because of Codex.
>Still have lies/truth 4 through 6 to goI'm not getting it done am I?
>>569058006I'm gonna alt-tab and wait for 30 minutes. If this shit doesnt resolve itself, i will take the L, and try to kill another Warden to get a new golden key card.>>569058584Sure you can.
Marathon Sisters: What are our expectations for Season 2?
>>569058659a new wave of "marathon kill in a week" and "this is the best game 0 flaws I don't know why people hate it lamo" from the usual suspects.
>>569058659S1 with less cancer in terms of equipment balance and night shenanigans. Competition will be much, much more fierce during the first few weeks though, as some of the top players have a lot of sage wisdom to work off of.
>think there's only one person>it's actually three but all the footsteps are so overlapped it sounds like one
>>569059064i hate when you hear your teammate moving but its two separate sounds: their frame movement noise and their footstep noise.
Had so many games of friendly rook encounters as a Rook I let my guard down and got smoked by one
Can I make it bros?
Does ranked even have any kind of in-universe explanation? Why isn't ranked an actual pvp mode framed as combat simulations?
>>569061973nah, uninstall now and save yourself the trouble
>>569061983I don't think ranked needs a lore explanation.
>>569062124I think it does.
Alright Rooks are getting kind of uppity right now on the final day if they don't speak actively I just kill them
It's over. I can finally rest. Until tomorrow.
For Night Marsh sponsored the best strategy is gonna be to rush the new location and any events for loot before the rooks start spawning in right?
>>569064401Somewhat. Especially if the floor is similar to S1 start, you'll want to hit all arms lockers that are available. Still, Seasonal start Rooks might as well be beggars as far as their gear is concerned. They'll still need keystone upgrades to make waves.
>>569063907I just got to level 88. I won't make it. Next season, perhaps.
Is there a way to know where the pump credentials are? Do you have to go to each of the starting areas?
>>569065820Scanners will show pump and tranquility credentials, and scan further the higher your security clearance is. So yeah, easiest way to find it is just to keep rotating and hitting scanners, if your clearance is 3+ you might be able to see it via scanners in Control, but it always spawns in the first room of each wing.
Marathon is saved
>>569065683;_; God speed, anon. I hope you do get it next season.
>>569058645Up to 6/6!hoping to finish it later today after sleepy time honk shoe
>>569065683You can. Just grind a shitload of bots solo.
Just under 24 hours for season 2 yeah?
>>569066617>MIDA's final missionGood luck, you will need it. You may want to pack some grenades to bonk out those recruits - they WILL ruin that mission for you, so kill all of them before they reach terminal.Also, you may want to wait a bit until someone opens Pinwheel, then pop the PA speakers. Mission goes even easier if you manage to find Conveyance Request. If you do - its piss easy - you can get into Pinwheel, click both panels, access Command Wing before anyone even enters Pinwheel. Just dont disable red shield in Broken wing or open any of the doors in the centre that lead to elevators.
>>569042558>Other rook queues will be disabled....One step forward and then they trip.
I'm so fucking close, I think if I just bank my faction packages I can get it.
Cannot wait for misriah nerfs. that golden mod is complete horseshit
>>569068020Slide-shotgun is cancerI seethe uncontrollably when a gold mizzy cocksucker slides around a corner, or into a bubble shield, or just anywhere and instantly explodes you, it's fucking retarded and like dolphin dives and other slide mechanics before it it's just fucking dogshit, god it's so stupid to let people send their hitbox to the floor for effectively no real penalty
>>569067323>>569042558Can you imagine an Outpost without Rooks?
>>569068304I can't even think of a counter for it either, you just die 9/10 times.
>>569068859>>569068304Claymores? Knife?
>>569068952yeah let me just plop down the claymore I totally have, just pull up the quick menu, select it, deplo- oh he slid around the corner and two tapped me instantlyoh yeah I'll knife himoh wait it takes like 3+ hits and he just has to shoot me twice which he can do basically as fast as he can click
>Zone into new pvp-lite mode>Have a fun time exploran, killan, stealan>Oh 15 minutes past and a wild rook in its natural enviroment>And another.>And....another....>Thats, boy, thats a lot of rooks>They all turn to look at you at once and stark shriekingSo is this basically infection but instead of zombies its autistic kleptomania?
>>569068859Literally the only thing you can do is have distance, or have your team have firing angles directly on you sandwiching the dudeBut if it's 3 dudes with gold mizzys? I mean, just run. They're gonna hunt you down though because they can even if you fuck off for like 5 minutes. The only way you can deal with them is not be within like 10-ish meters, longer if they're destroyer or Vandal, because that's the death range of slide + double tap more or less before you can really react meaningfullyAnywhere outside of that they'll get chewed up by a bully, copperhead, m77 or demo HMG pretty easily (but they probably have a gun for that range too but at least it requires thinking)
Rooks will we be frens tomorrow or angy?
>>569069615tomorrow is going to be a bloodbath bro. tau ceti will be lost in an ocean of synthblood.
>>569069356You gotta admit that a swarm of Rooks is more scary than any grisly mob they can conjure up.
>>569069615BOTH.
>>568971056SHUT THE FUCK UP IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For once, I carried our team. Doesn't mean I was good, and we still failed to do vault 2 because I couldn't find enough batteries. In the whole run, I didn't once see a scanner.
>Explosive Payload (green)>Missile Barrage (blue)Are these cores that drop normally? I have almost 200 hours and have never heard of them.
BUNGIE PLEASE ADD QUICK SELECT FOR EQUIPMENT LIKE YOU CAN WITH CONSUMES PLEASE GOD
>>569069356I will just go into the mode as Rook and my entire purpose is to make it as spooky for other players as possible.
>friend hordes his gear all wipe>brings in dogshit kits because he has gear fear or something>bringing dogshit kits means we lose more and it creates a negative feedback loop, something like "why bring in stuff if we just lose?">today is the LAST DAY OF THE WIPE>still have some gold shit left to burn, ask him if he's gonna bring his in finally>he says "nah, we're just gonna lose. I don't want to give it to someone else". >me and my other friend are perplexed and laugh, ask him to explain himself>he can't really think of anything and just says "nah, dont want anyone else to have it">we ask him to show his inventory and he has 2 rows of gold shields, a shitton of gold implants, plenty of gold attachments. purple outlands and misrahs he never brought inWHAT THE HELL? WHy are some people like this? WHo even cares if someone else gets your gold shit? We yoinked it from other people lmfao thats how the game works
The CE Tactical is gonna be fucking great in S2.
>>569071630The entire silver lining is seeing hoarders having to face the CyAC IRS. Time to cough up...
>>569071213Whats your go to's? mine is>When i know a Runners underneath me i run around. Stop. Wait a few seconds till i hear them move, run around again.>Run past doorways and through lights out into the dark>Use voice modulator and ask runners "is it safe?" from the dark>Left 4 dead 2 witch audio file ready to go>When i find sneaking runners make loud noises to attract CREATURES and run away>Drop items in the middle of a spotlight in a dark open area.
>>569071935I'll likely just beeline for the underground routes or fuck around near the new tower in Complex while spamming both the communication wheel and occasional proxy chat. Either way, i think it will be a chill environment for most players to just test the waters in the new map with a lower entry barrier. As a Rook, it's still even more chill as you technically only have one team and fellow Rooks. I think the whole Rook alliances might be what eventually result in more hilarity on the map.
>>569071630For some people it is a museum, and all the pieces in it have sentimental or aesthetical value.I have two mizzies and two copperheads. I am never going to use them. They are are museum pieces for me. And if i need to use anything, i can do excellent work with basic bitch Overrun, Punch, CE, or Hardline.
>>569042558>One team of 3 per mapTrash>>569042767Cool>>569046467Trash>>569064401>Night Marsh sponsoredTrashNot playing this shit
>>569017918I hope I can actually cryo next season. I tried a few times with randoms and just got Grenade mortared into oblivion everytime we tried to rotate
>>569073473That's a cool way to go about it.
Well, uh... they beat the Compiler. Alone. Without me.
>>569075205Haha...
>>569075205>>569075420I think I'll let the vault 3 key vanish in the reset. This is a fair exchange. I don't deserve more.
>>569075205That destroyer guy is russian and most likely a cheater. Good for you though.
>>569076651Yeah, I figured that. Didn't even need to check the Steam page, he had voice chat. I'll report him.
>decide to fight scorch warden on DM>finally grab right-kitted Hardline>get to the spot>2 more runners are mucking about>tell them to go away>finally fog clears and i can potshot warden>some bright mofo decides to plonk me with a railgun/channel>while im shooting warden>gibs me>i forgot that i did not bring res kits>stay in my spot hoping fucker trips claymore>he lobs flechette nades at me>i just give up because what is the pointRetard, you could've joined me and we would've killed that warden but noooooo you wanted what i had and what i had for you is... three fiddy.
Giving it away.
>>569077989who is to say he didn't kill the warden afterwards? they're not that hard
>>569078648You should ice a guy with the bbrt then while he's down drop everything at his feet and revive him before running off
>>569078648And that wraps it up. See you all in season 2.
>>569079175>they are not that hard>scorch wardenMaybe if you are with a team.
Is scorch warden the one with the retardedly huge shield? I ran into it once without thinking about what area I was in and it scared the fuck out of me.
>>569078648I am surprised that you did not eat a bullet. Must be nice on NA servers. Here in EU...
>>569080397Yup. And it overheats you if you try melee. Its called Scorch for a reason. Other way to cheese the bastard would be to throw chem nades at him, but those dont stack and he will eat all 20 of them no problem.
>>569080629hes just like all the wardens you unload in his face with a teamthe game wasn't designed for solo
>>569080967And yet i solo'd Tox Warden no problem.
>>569080967Tox and Wraith are 100% soloable if you're moderately kitted and not mentally retarded.
Will we get new Corpos/Factions as the seasons go on or will it just be the Big 6?
>>569081160scorch isn't much harder than the other ones like you seem to be implying
>>569083037we'll get the IDF in season 3
>Season 2 is here tomorrow! Here's exactly when you'll be able to jump in:>>Season 2 Launches: 10AM PT on June 2>>Open Play Week Begins: 12PM PT on June 2>>Open Play Week Concludes: 7AM PT on June 9>Mark those calendars!https://x.com/MarathonDevTeam/status/2061569835616886801
>>569083352>isnt much harderhe is not, however, you have to have a shitloads of ammo because his big-ass shield needs to be broken first.
>>569083771Finally time to watch this game crash and burn
>>569083771so we get 2 hours to play without f2piggers, based
>>569083778Anyway, brought shitloads of ammo and it was still not nearly enough. Almost had that bastard when i needed to make a long trip to replenish ammo, also got a heap of grenades, but there simply was not enough time. 2 more minutes and i would have bagged the fucker.
>try and jump a team as rook>full gold shieldsMan this sucks lol
wow all rook queues go into the experimental mode for the first week
>>569071630He likes his shiny guns and gold gear and he wants to feel important for having those things. It probably means he also doesn't play a lot, because most people who play somewhat regularly will usually get a chance to get their hands on gold shit even if they're a shitter. He's so afraid of "losing" it, because it would potentially destroy the idea that it's not "his". That the "rare" thing he held onto for potentially months could just disappear in the blink of an eye. Being an extraction shooter too, I think some people get in their heads that>High value gear = good playerIronically this is far from the truth, since someone using a gold misriah needs to use far less braincells than someone trying to fight with a stryder or magnum. But your friend clearly doesn't play enough to recognise this fact. The gold misriah is rare to him, and he doesn't want to lose it and potentially go back to being a pleb with no good gear to prove that he has the skills to "get" good gear. He's also so vain as to deny some rando a few hours to potentially fuck around with a fun gun if he does get killed.If there's ever a zombie apocalypse, expect this friend of yours to never tell you if he gets bitten by a zombie.>>56908532418 hours nonny, be patient
>>569083037Considering how there's space for more in the UK, prolly something like UESC internal affairs after Orion inevitably goes rogue
Give me an idea for a character to draw
>>569086838slutty sentinel
>>569086838zombie rook
All too easy
>>569087480Took you long enough.
>>569086838Pic related but with triage, thief and assassin to celebrate the new stats that came out showing them as the most popular team combo
>>569087997I grinded like 400k in the last 48 hours, what can I say?
>>569088082Good.
Was the avatar for getting lvl 100 in season 1 always in the codex? I'm sure the only season 1 locked thing was ranked stuff.Feels bad.
>>569089318I only know about the level 100 badge, I never saw the avatar. Unless that's what you mean then yeah.
>>569089318>>569090532Its a profile emblem, so a thing that appears next to your name/level. Dont worry, grind to 100 will resume in Season 2, because it will have its own lvl 100 emblem.
The space IRS shall get absolutely nothing from me.
>>569095038>level 43Trust me, they aren't even paying attention to you.
pistolgawds will be eating good tomorrow shotguntrannies and sniperchuds need not apply
>>569095552>CE Tactical getting flat buffs across the board>Magnum won't be complete doodoo caca
>>569095941and the two new weapons!
Finally made use of my gold outpost key for the room in command wing and I got 2 cubes + 5 gold items that turn into cash54kNot bad but was expecting a Mizzy at least
>fighting scorch warden solo>either run out of ammo>or time>or both>kit out to finally kill him>get shot in the back by a retard ReconLike... atleast wait for me to kill Warden, THEN you have a reason to shoot me. Fucking hell man, some players are just thick. Fuck you Penguin, Pangolin or whatever your retarded brit name is.
>got into a 3v3v3 on outpost and killed 4 players with a gold bully>proceed to give it away to a no mic thief in solos outpost and I jumped off the map afterwardsit's the little things, i'll let someone else have fun with it and unleash it's power before reset, shit shreds bubble shields it's insane
>>569058584solo outpost it, team for the final mida mission
>>569101227I jumped a dude who had broken shields and he had a gold bully on him, fucking smoked a gold shield player with it yesterday. Was honestly wild.
>The last ten runs>Always some would be lone wolf hero that rushes ahead and alerts every other team to our positionI'd be really fucking pissed if tomorrow wasn't wipe day.But holy fuck go into solo queue if you want to do solo shit.
It is very telling that every bungie person who was riding Marathon's dick back in March and April has absolutely nothing to say about season 2 and would rather talk about the big D2 update coming out the same week. Sony invested into the wrong IP big time lol.
Competent players are mostly on Steam, free Marathon on other platforms will be downloaded by helpless newfags.>No map knowledge>No sound knowledge>No consumable knowledgeThey won't even know how to heal, so turning Cross-play off means getting easy mode, to speedrun Rook upgrades. Rook can then go kill Lite Mode players

I hate seeing all that loot go to waste...Now i can finally go to sleep.
>>569105186looks like. you've figured out the "meta"
>Focusing on getting all factions to level 5 as quickly as possible unlocks an invaluable baseline for Rook:I will get lvl5 factions day one, and then massacre Lite players as Rook, the same night.I will absolutely gape them beyond repair
>>569106220Needs to be tested, we don't know if anyone outside of Steam will download Marathon.
1(one) grenade and 1 green gun is all I need to find. Lite Mode players will NOT exfiltrate.Bwwuuaauauau hhahaahhAHAHh
>>569106778some may
>>569105038>every bungie person who was riding Marathon's dick back in March and April has absolutely nothing to say about season 2I never cared about Bungie, I always said that Marathon combat is 10 outta 10. And I say the update is dog shit, old night map = boring.Only reason to play is to grief Lite players as an upgraded Rook
HOW LONG UNTIL THE WIPE
>>569106912Seriously, chill the fuck out.
>>569106912this mode was made for you, casual dad gamers with one exfil spot, like fish in a barrel
>>56910714914 hours
>>569107218In theory. Needs testing, we don't know if there's a real easy way to quickly level up Rook.And we don't know that Lite mode will always have the bad players. Lite mode could be exploited to farm materials/credits. Needs testing
>>569107550Ok I look forward to the report
Fuck, all Rooks go to the same place. Which means there's gonna be tryhard Rook Vs Rook competition.>team up with Rooks maybeWe're rabid filthy dogs. I'd trust dad gamers over Rooks any day. The first ones I kill, will be Rooks
Most players in three weeks
This game is one of the few things that makes me feel anything in life, (racing cars too). An insane raid makes me feel like my brain is actually working instead of just sludging through a goycattle wage day. God life is so boring. How do people manage such a mundane existence?
This game is one of the few things that makes me feel anything in life, (racing cars too).

How do people manage such a mundane existence?
>>569107149I know you're on Steam, and I want to make it clear. Cross-play of is a hack for leveling up Rook fast, without competition.When my Rook is upgraded, cross-play is getting switched back On.I want the Steam Lite players, I will find ways to 100% kill Steam chill fags. I'm coming for you. And you won't even know what the fuck is happening.
>>569017918Did compiler for the first time after matching with 2 randos (not a duo either) a couple days ago. Guy brought in a 4 key, the other guy needed it as his last sub, and we had a succesful run. We ran it back 2 times and killed compiler on the 2nd try. 1st try we ran out of time and had to stop the fight and exfil. Glad it was a challenging run with some team fights and wasn't some lame lobby teaming up situation.
anal destruction to all Lite playersRooк will be ready, upgraded extremely fast.кiLl yOu KILL you kiLll yoU 100% PvP Heavy(Lite Mode)
Went into cryo with all my good gear and 6 dna keys to donate to a lucky runner.
>helped a guy solve a vault>we get jumped and i throw down a bubble grenade and say "go out the back">he tries to play nade toss with the enemy team and dies for it>hit an exfil and loop around and pick him back up>exfil with 10 seconds leftmust be his first time in cryo. oh well.
>>569080501That's EU.
Why is teaming allowed in this dogshit game? I hope everyone who got laid off at bungie never works again.
Mida final quest sucks man and it doesn't help I'm being match with fucking dropkicks.
>>569114145Bubble shield kind of breaks the AI of the assault uesc so you can just kind of melee the recruits that run up to the broadcast terminal. Now that still requires you to get there but that's how I did it. I did die though because since it broke the AI the final waves never came in so be prepared for that if you want to do this method.
>>569107550did we all just forget? you level up rook by levelling up your factions as a runner lmao.
>>569114443Also this was done solo so obviously might not be doable with teammates since you'd be BMing.
>>569113018Well, shit.>>569114145>>569114443>>569114569I did it on assassin, and i used a lot of smoke grenades and Ghost Protocol. Knife all the bastards. But before you pop terminal, eliminate that ghost commander and retinue of recruits and gunners. Then toss smoke nade that now lasts 30 seconds and keep eyes on recruits because THEY will fuck it all up. You do however get a handy red icon hovering over them, so prioritise them. Knife works wonders.I've seen Recon do it, and i've seen Vandal do it. Toss grenades of any kind at the spawning horde and that will eliminate all incoming recruits.

>>569117093Congratulations!So, how did you do it? Shell, kit, etc.
>>569118218Destroyer my beloved. Brought nothing but a bully and some amp kits because I was frustrated from the past couple games.Went on a mad dash around the map for the POIs alone while random teammate went up flight control to pinwheel, surprisingly didn't get inverted by another team. Crawled up Processings vents and joined them as they were entering command.Triggered the lockdown while everyone was looting and it was do or die at that point. ran out of ammo for the bully and had to scavenge a Punch and ammo from the bots in between stabbing them. Judicial use of Search and destroy as the bots funneled in helped with the recruits immensely.Rooks took the opportunity to make a claymore tunnel of hell that looked cool but didn't work.>mfw the entire time

>>569118747>not soloYou disappoint me.
Their servers are shitting themselves. I have that red circle in the top right of the creen for three games now. No terrible lag though.

>>569134961he's the retard that made cruelty squad
I really want solo cryo againI used to think when they changed the final exfil spawn in outpost that it was the highest high I was gonna get from this shitty gameBut no, after training on ranked cryo solo I realised the highest high is making it to the final exfil in cryoThe fact that you can wait until final exfil kinda renders the whole security mechanic useless because with level 2 you can circle like a rat and get juiced up from other teams dropping like fliesNo serious team is ever going to risk final exfil after getting good loot therefore you are always going to be alone
>>569135823I would risk any loot just to кIll a runner

i hope they keep the carri mechanic
How long until season 2 starts?
LOL, another cheater. Headshots with BRRT. i spectated the little shit - cheats, no doubt. Proceeds to headshot every single bot no matter the distance.Reported bastard twice - cheating and hardware manipulation. And little shit is from Palestine too.
>June 2nd, Sony showcase without PC ports>June 7th, PlayStation game showcase with PC portsFunny, I'd like that Destroyer skin on Ps5 tho
>>569139938Also a funny thing. He was doing that "spawn lockdown on anomaly", then dropped that, ran to Ponds to poach artefact, then ran back over there to finish off the contract, while having eliminated everyone on the map.Dude's seriously overcompensating for something.
>>569140110Bro, half of your genny is about to be aimbotters, who gives a fuck
>>569140280I give a fuck. Its like saying roided-up meatheads should perform at Olympics because doping is the new norm in current "genny" or because Zyzz or that Liver "King", or some other retard does it.Also, dont lump me with zoomers or millenials. I dont fit either.
>>569140465>Its like saying roided-up meatheads should perform at OlympicsThey do, every strength-related world record is roided. Most of the combat-related streaks are roided too.

So how are you fucks gonna start season 2?As for me I'm gonna grind rook runs on outpost until I get 20 bullys and 50 energy amps
>>569143364>grind rook runs on outpostYou sitting down?
>>569143364I'll be upgrading Rook to harass the PvP Lite fags>>569143450Lololo
For season 2 I will never ever bring anything above green into random fills again.Too many shitters made me lose my good stuff. You only gear up for people with a decent amount of skill, and randoms are usually filled with dogshit players.
For S2 I'm gonna stop helping teammates and quickly brute force Rook upgrades. I can easily 1V3 because until I switch to the Lite mode(as Upgraded Rook) there will be no Steam players in my lobby. I will stomp console noobs, upgrade Rook, then harass the Steam players in Lite mode, the chill dadbros is who i wanna kill, and my Rook will be upgraded super fast.
>>569145929>my Rook will be upgraded super fastMy enemies won't even know how to heal.
It drives me fucking insane when you can tell the situation is deteriorating, the other team is taking the initiative and your teammates are just clamming up doing nothing.Like bro, i'm not just saying we should move or get out this way as a cute little moment, fucking do something man.
>>569146107>Team mate splits and goes solo>Gets murdered on the other side of the map>The other guy just goes retard and dashes thereI don't know what players of this game are thinking
Nothing new except the funny Rook vs Lite gamers mode
Lol
>>569144686Basically same. 90% of random fills end up with my teammates immediately going down in a fight and it turns into a 1v3. People have no understanding of positioning and when they should not be pushing
>>569146107Sometimes it also seems for the more hotheaded wannabe team captains almost impossible to consider that some places are just absolute shit for pushing or shootouts. I can't count on the many times they want you to push through an absolute killzone or otherwise disadvantageous position solely because they might have cracked someone's shields or otherwise saw a team. I think usually that also signals a good team. Unless you're on the map to solely skin every fucker for the thrill of it, just look for situations that are more favorable and reset/ignore the other team to fight closer to exfil windows. Outpost and Cryo are a bit different, but Perimeter and Dire Marsh actually need some form of eye for the terrain as there are longer distances to consider too.
>>569146926first guy to go down right away in a fight: DUDE THEYRE CRACKED GO FUCKING GO WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE DOING ANYTHING *disconnects*
>>569147192The flankers are also notorious for pushing completely whack angles or trying to flank/get high ground and then forget that not everyone on your team is a thief, vandal or destroyer. I've honestly seen Assassin's usually doing a better job at understanding proper positioning in comparison to the Thief/Destroyer/Vandal players as those three just seem to never consider cases where and how it's appropriate to split up to provide flank pressure on another team. When those classes do however, they can easily get an insane advantage for the rest of the team and quick. It's just that almost the entirety of the population going onto those classes tend to also be complete shitters. I'd honestly bench everyone from playing them until they've played more on either Triage/Recon to understand how pivotal it is to understand where, how and why you are standing/moving to where you are moving.
>Thief teammate says you're amazingI know, baby
>>569146692Yeah, very unfortunate. New anti-cheat when? Or is banning cheater will dramatically reduce player numbers for the game?>free weekCheater heaven.>CryoCheater central.What Bungie should do is get a dev team to play Cryo and see what it is like.
>>569150368There's Russian music in ads for cheats, haha. Russki faggots on telegram are involved in spreading them(cheek)
Almost toggled my wiener on, sheesh
>>569149873>The one class that can peek safely decides to peek without cloak.Maybe the US matchmaking is just filled with lobotomy patients while the EU/Asia servers actually have their frontal lobes intact?
>>569150368Or, ya know just disable the rook spawns for pve-lite and let the tards fight amongst themselves. While keeping the final extract the main goal for the pve mode
>>569150952>>569151124I hope your either mates with the maker or running it through a VM+burner steam account because otherwise what the fuck are you doing mang?
>>569146392This will kill our game
>>569152103If they honestly want to make it about extractions, then the escalating stakes have to be the key to everything. It's fine that only a single extract exists, but instead they should just keep the extract as a set of objectives you need to fulfill or otherwise you're shit out of luck. In the PvP oriented game modes it works, as it pushes people to funnel into that last ditch effort, but just having a final exfil that activates on its own already removes a layer out of figuring that out before the timer expires. Currently the survival gameplay in Marathon mostly focuses on the PvP fronts, so a pure PvE experience needs to largely adhere to the survival rules and much more strict map oriented objectives.
>>569151157NTA but weirdly enough all the OCE/aussie players seem to be extremely competent whenever I get put on their servers or they bleed over into mine.
>>569071630It took me the end of this wipe to realize I don’t have gear fear. It was never about the gear, but I hoard items because when I lose with them it feels extra bad and when I win with them it doesn’t feel as rewarding.The highs don’t match the lows for me when it comes to losing good gear, I’m trying to get past this and just use the gear I get. My entire vault was full of purple and gold, I tried to empty the vault before S2, but for every kit I lost I won 2 more. It so easy to get gear. It really was never about the gear, but the feeling that you lost something.
Imagine needing a buckbot to point and click for you.In a Bungie game.lol
>>569153312Just think of if as donations or gifts.Someone else gets to use it now, for a run or two. And then someone else does.
Will season 2 be a blast? Is 20k players on steam possible?
>>569146392Update looks great
Just hit vip wid errybody.feels jud mang.
>>569153312100%. took me awhile to just go with the flow and be fine with loss
>>569153312I see them as tools to make gear floor improvements and when you've got that safety net, then losing shit really doesn't matter all that much. It takes like one or two very good runs to also earn the stuff you lost back (and then some) so i never really fussed about even the bigger losses as it also usually saved up some vault space too. It was most apparent with stuff like core mods and implants, as you accumulate those like crazy while most guns you can just strip for parts to save up on some space.
Any good webms of a team getting wiped i can show friends to tell them about the free week
>>569154479Just make them watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jECExIKoTY
>>569154479I only have bad webms.
>>569152778Mentioned it back here ( >>569133883 ) with having a dynamic difficulty timer
>>569069090I know it’s much easier to complain and act like a shitter, but improving your game play is a lot more rewarding. Just git gud.
I think that Sentinel's visor pattern is supposed to look like a skull.

>>569157438They should just honestly reserve the ballistics oriented stuff to DMRs and Snipers.
>>569156487>Brand new players to Marathon are more likely to match with other new players during the opening of S2.Actually a good move.>Players may now select between multiple matchmaking network preferences.>Developer Note: This experimental matchmaking preference allows players to choose whether they want to wait for longer to increase their chances of finding a group of players located near to them.

>Key templates now have objective requirements Runners must fulfill in order to convert the template to a functional key.Oh shit.
Literally just managed to finish the final sekiguchi quest.Down the wire goddamn.
>>569157923>Ban them, make it a zero-tolerance policy or something.They've already done one ban wave, even then it'll be a constant problem. Even the bigger games in the genre have this same problem. It's not exclusively Russians either, Asia and the Baltics are massive markets for cheats and thus there will always be incentive.
>>569157438The H-AR is now hitscan. It's now one of the best guns in the game.
>>569158140They cannot figure out how those cheats work and thus cut whatever they are exploiting to work? What the fuck. Yeah, cheating is pervasive, doesnt mean it should go unabated.>ban waveThose dont work. When some fuck makes a fresh burner steam account, you can ban them by 30th wave and you wont get rid of them. Hardware ID ban, automatic ban/suspension until investigation concludes.I kinda refuse to believe that devs are so helpless before cheaters.And if the issue is pervasive, then for fuck's sake, allow people NOT to play with cheaters - PvE mode exists for a fucking reason.Anyway, i heard that current Mara cheats are using same exploit/loop than D2 cheats used. Also, doesnt help that their anti-cheat is a fucking BattlEye. Game effectively has no anti-cheat.
>>569158509>>569157438>hitscanJesus Holy Christ, save us from this plague.The only weapons that can and should be hitscan are volt-cell/battery guns (no fucking autotracking), and railguns. Thats it. All others obey ballistics and laws of physics. It irritates me to no end. "Damage falloff range" this, "aim assist" that, "muh hitscan"... picrel.
>>569158756>I kinda refuse to believe that devs are so helpless before cheaters.They are. It's an arms race and the money is not on their side. Valve has the best approach (detecting cheats through irregularities in raw gameplay with AI) but they haven't been able to make it work well for now. Nobody has solved it.>but valo-They're just way better at marketing/comms.
>>569159031Fuck off. Ballistics are fine in games where the realism on the guns is the selling point and weapon range and caliber type actually matters. Here you're working with gun archetypes and weapon damage modifiers against targets that might as well take 10 hits to the head, depending on your weapon so having ballistics on the gun types that already have a noticeable amount of recoil will just end up with practically all gun types except the CQC-mid range ones having an advantage due to projectiles still traveling fast enough to make a difference. I do agree on the MIPS snipers requiring a bit of a treatment on likely introducing more drop-off and being projectile based, but Channel is okay and so are most of the Precision rifles.
>>569159031why would a rail gun be projectile?
>>569154603I hate this.
>>569159597No, you fuck off. Consistency matters, and realism had far more going than just damage by calibre or windage.>>569159710Why would it not be? Whole idea of railguns is that you shoot a projectile via Lorentz force - two rails, conductive projectile, a lot of electomagnetic force. Sure, one can spice it up with levitating plasma chage instead of conductive projectile, but it still is a projectile. Same with coil guns. And if you think its just "energy" then its a laser or a plasma beam.
>>569160201No I mean why would the railgun be a projectile in game if it's moving so fast in the first place? I know why it's a projectile in real life but for vidya game abstraction hitscan would work just fine.
>>569156487Reading these patch notes brought back Path of Exile PTSD induced by reading theirs.I am glad that i have not spent any more money on these retards.
>>569160535What's the problem?
>>569160413Dude, i did say that railguns should be hitscan. Although you do bring a good point. They should not be limited to the 70-100 metre range as it is in the weapon stat description.
>>569160661The issue is that i already experienced this kind of bullshit and already know where it is going. Oh, Fallout 76 says hi too, as if i needed THAT one to remind me of itself.I hate live service game. I hate live service games. I hate live service games.
>>569160871You didn't say what your problem was.
>>569160535what? i dont get what youre mad at, this is a pretty strong season 2 patch.
>>569160201>Consistency matters, and realism had far more going than just damage by calibre or windage.It isn't about realistic and accurate ballistics. Marathon has never made itself out to be about that, neither will the game benefit a single iota in turning every single weapon into a projectile spitter. You literally cannot comprehend that in terms of bullet magnetism and aim assist, it's only the CQC weapons that benefit in massive quantities and for those the ranges you fight with them are already so short that them being projectiles hardly matters. So the only ones suffering from turning everything into a projectile is the long range options and even for those they currently already have minimal advantages for pad players outside snipers, but already benefit very strongly from good aim with a mouse in the middle ground outside their aim cones. The middle-ground is just fine as nobody sane wants their accuracy on the admittedly already heavy to handle and high recoil weapons to suffer even further, the entirety of the recoil system would have to be reworked, gun damage would have to be drastically changed and the guns that have short range would be even better as they would still benefit from being projectiles just the same way in terms of range.
>>569160920hes probly mad at 'streamer mode' or being able to unlock battlepass shit with lux.
Yall did the update drop yet??
>>569160920PTSD by already having played through similar bullshit. There, thats my issue.>>569161084You are wrong.
You'll notice he still hasn't said what the issue is.
>>569161380Yes bro we are in night marsh kissing under the moonlight
>>569161827Everyone but sentinel gets kisses because that nerd keeps his lips covered and not free for smooching
i wonder if the trophy system will shoot down vandal power shots
>>569162201Vandal should hard counter it imo
>>569162201That would make Vandal worse so you're probably rright
>>569162201It's not equipment so likely not. I can think of it being reserved only for things you can throw from the equipment slot. As an example, the Recon drone isn't counted as equipment in any of the implants that specifically require hits with equipment, so likely the same rule follows for the Defender system too.
>>569134648>>569135219>>569135536looks cool, thanks for sharing
>>569138457no im not your mother
>>569133883I expect the PvE test with overarching contracts in the second half of the season to be more like this also horde mode
>The contracts were not swapped out for new ones
i dont know why people want pve only content when the enemy AI is so basic. all they do is run right at you or gundam slide around you at hihg speed while shooting with perfect accuracy. theres no thrill, its just labor.

>>569162936?
30k peak sliding back down to 10k and then EoS
>>569163542The old ones are still available, so I have to assume that there is like a handful of new ones for MIDA and Traxus (Bungie said that that they have particular interest in Night Marsh) and that's it.
New file size.
>>569164116>2 more gbFFFAUUUACCKK bros. I'm out. AAA dev has struck again.
>>569163695How do you suppose they on-board those who drop in during S2? What about progression for post-reset? Want people to run straight into the harder quests with minimal resources? I see nothing wrong with doing it in a split of both old and new contracts in S2, but they have to make sure there will eventually be enough to choose from in further seasonal content, because i doubt anyone wants to replay like 100 hours worth of quests each Season instead of having a choice for S1, S2, S3 and so forth.
>>569164116Honestly underrated as fuck that they can properly keep the file size so low. I remember being astounded when they revealed the size before the launch and thinking they must have just been lying or something.
>>569164409It most likely has to deal with them not pulling the same thing that say Helldivers 2 and other games on console platforms did as some setups still used HDD devices so they just doubled the asset files to speed up on loading times. Marathon did away with it from the start and even with more maps and content it'll likely stay under 100 gb for a long while.

>log on>shell select: Rook
>>569153352>>569157923>>569158140>>569158756I don't think you understand how cheats are used. Most people using them aren't using the aim feature at all. Just knowing where the other players are, and being able to negotiate with cheating teams to form 6 mans is incredibly poweruful. And because it's a team game, you never need to have the shit running on your system. The people on my teams cheat fucking constantly.
>>569167326>and being able to negotiate with cheating teams to form 6 mans is incredibly powerufulYou do realize there's no need for cheating to do 6 mans? Even better, you would think in ranked there is similarly scummy behavior concerning match fixing by trying to piggyback as many fixed teams into the same match as humanly possible, so they can then trade tags or decide on who gets what. If there are other teams stuck in that wedge, they're shit out of luck. I mean, it's not like the biggest controversy in Trials even had anything to do with actual cheating just a very, very subtle method of Chinese match fixing racket that was so clever it went under the radar for a long ass while.
>>569167326>The people on my teams cheat fucking constantly>And because it's a team game, you never need to have the shit running on your systemBan everyone in the team if its a pre-made. As in, perma ban.
Why was the copperhead randomly using real projectiles no fucking wonder it felt so weird to use.
I feel cute and composed, ready for some Marathon!
>>569168091It's likely that all light round guns have some form of ballistic component to them? Would also explain the runaway success of the guns with burst options being much better than their automatic counter parts.
>>569168905It's okay, I'll help you find some matter fixative.
Is everyone else stuck on the login screen too?
>>569168736>>569169150Yeah, and it says servers are still offline.

>>569168963idk I've always felt like I performed better with an m77 over the br33 but that could just be me.
>literally free and nobody wants itWow Sony really are fucking retarded.
>>569169272It's largely the difference at longer range and m77 having a built in optic. In BR there's a bit of variance depending on the optic of choice. Zoom seems pretty great on most light round weapons.
I'm in
is the optimal way to play this game still dropping in a trio and wiping the entire lobby before doing pve?
>>569169602Yeah I really like the optic for the m77 and the only times I've found myself doing okay with the br33 was when it had a rangefinder optic. I kind of hate the other scope it has, it just feels too closed in.
Back in the cage, wagie
It seems they're doing the exclusive purchases tied to in-game feats thing like with Destiny now
>>569169624>>569169785I know it’s because this game operates on Tarkov economy rules, but I really wish that this game wasn’t a PvPvE extraction where they have to balance things out for new players. I’d be happier if this was like for a PvP only side mode and a main PvE story mode didn’t have this.
New main menu.
>>569170107Sovl...
This game is seriously so fucking stylish holy shit.
>only 16kFuckin yikes.
YOU NIGGERS LIED TO MEI CAN'T FUCKING PLAY IT THROUGHOUT XBOX CLOUD GAMINGI'M GOING TO FUCKING RAPE ALL OF YOULIARS
>>569170643I never lied to you, anon.
>>569170643
And bugs are in>log in>codex entries>can claim that profile background for MIDA and Sekiguchi>cannot for the rest of factionsWhat the fuck.
CyAc and Arachne still have no contracts. Only Traxus and MIDA have new contracts.
>>569170806IT SAYS I NEED TO FUCKING BUY IT
>>569170057but the pve is mid
>>569170965idk what to tell you boss I just Google AI™'d it
>majority of meaningful contracts are the same as last seasonIs it so hard to come up with chores and record a handful of VA lines
>>569171076I don’t know if I would say the PvP is that much better desu. In something like Cryo or the Pinwheel part of Outpost, yeah it can be exhilarating because of the tension that comes from dealing with completing objectives against other more kitted out players and it feels like there is incentive to constantly move. For the most part tho it feels like camping and catching other players off guard is the main strategy used, and it’s just not interesting compared to any other PvP game in existence.
The game bugged. I achieved VIP with all factions in season 1 (see >>569056495), but I only got the rewards for MIDA and SekGen.
>30% off saleHmm, is there any mode where I don't have to deal with the Tarkov reject sweats yet?
first night darsh i spawned in maintenance and there were four weapon lockers in my immediate vicinity
LMAO priority contracts are just rehash of last season
Typo.
Does Duos Queue have Rook spawns?
HOLY SHIT WE'RE SO BACKCHUDS LOST
You now need to do objectives to complete keys. Progress carries between runs.
>>569172310Holy fuck that is way better than whatever gay shit they were doing in S1. Fuck me.
Armory UI changes. Barters now correlate to regular purchases. And you can now buy the Scar.
>>569167871>You do realize there's no need for cheating to do 6 mans?LOL. of course! There's no need for cheating at all. I don't think you understand. The teams don't know each other at all before going in, and they agree to 6 man, or at least stay away from each other. Very different than the organized 9 man teams. Next question?
>>569172310i like that. i think the map events are the funnest part of the game and anything that makes people do them more is great>>569172539>you can now buy the Scar.and its cheap? fuck yes
>>569172539Arachne sells the Twin Tap.
>>569172303see >>569163603
>>569167987They can't even catch existing cheaters anon. And say an entire discord that plays together, with one dude who cheats out his ass. How many fucks are you going to ban? Hell, more than a few of the cheaters don't even use it for pvp, but use it to just avoid everyone.
>>569170107Ugly, old one was better.
>>569172539>SCAR is purchasable now
>>569172796Oh, and daily freebees are now on top.
>>569169692Suboptimal to not bothering at all, but absolutely. Especialy since the streamers whined about rooks and got them nerfed.
Why is it not free yet, Bungie? I was promised a free week of your game, Bungie. A whole week of blasting for absolutely free! You aren't holding out on me, are you Bungie?
Biolense whiner bros... we won. But another peculiar change: you now unlock items for barter before unlocking them for purchase. Blue shield barter unlock is just 12 tarax seeds and 4 dermachem (which can now be found in Algae Ponds).
/dg/ is fuming lol

too many players......
>bungie servers can't handle 50k players across all platformsngmi
Why are the servers meetings? I thought nobody played the game.
>>569175753It's practically just a bump as you only get one of each. There's plenty of chance to lose it.
>>569176968>servers already fucking dyingToo late sony just liquidated their asses

I am really surprised this game managed to retain 10k players as a base.
Man it's a good thing I'm not playing until tonight when my friend gets on
The pve queue is a free anomaly when it pops. If only the servers fucking worked goddamn.
>>569177585Every shitstraction subhuman game has 10K
>Almost no one I know can get in to play a full match let alone five minutes>Check streamers on Twitch>Still, somewhat disconnect but actually do full runs.You can't tell me Bungie doesn't still do streamer/content creator shenanigans.Also, don't forget there's Twitch Drops. Been watching someone called Alex and they last longer in matches than anyone I know even when they disconnect.Shits so fucking odd too, skimmed other streamers and it's the same.Hows the Sentinel, looks awesome but not sure why we have Recon Lite.
marasisters.......it's already plateauing and starting to decline again at under 30k players. We lost.......
>>569173518is vulcan the lion or the shell?
>>569174986Have they ever NOT been borked?
It's dropping...Ziegler, activate the f2p! It's the only way!
>>569177781aside from the stun mine and trophy system, he's very blase
It's dropping because the servers are fucking exploding lmao
>>569177880surprised that people here are surprised. this is bungie, this almost always happens with any of their big updates. went through years of this with destiny
>I wasn't even in a run
LOL.Xbox and PS players are fucking teaming up, in solo queue. Fucking hell.
does anyone remember the mouse smoothing option in the configs? i think they reset them and i dont remember how to do it anymore...
>>569178203i was in a run and got some good loot and ive just been stuck on it for like 20 mins
>My name is not important
Level Up
>>569178610actually it didnt get reset, all good.
>>569175047Better looking than anything Warlocks got in D2
This is bullshit. Its bad enough when you have to deal with ONE aimbotter, now they are running in gangs of two or three. IN SOLO QUEUE.Free week was a mistake, is a mistake.

Alright, the game just doesn't work right now.
it keeps fucking defaulting back to trios after a solo run reeee
yay

This is so much worse than even Path of Exile during a new league launch.
So is BurntPeanut gonna play again?

ZIEGLER! ZIEGLER!
im just as shit on controller not even aim assist can save me
>>569180415I thought you are the master race?
>>569176564>>569176968Is there a solo mode at least so I don't get raped right in the boypucci by duos/trios/quads?
>>569181191I wonder how many people got turned away after servers shat themselves just after season launch.
Fucking Destinyfags are DDOSing again
>>569181557About 7000 so far.
>>569181557At least one, me. Oh well, I need a bit more time away from Marathon, anyway after intense Cryo gaming yesterday.
>>569181406Nope. I honestly have no idea how that shit works. However, i have a suspicion. In a few runs i made and died to a squad, it said waiting for crew instead of running report. So i think servers are fucked and are mistreating, or are being misused. Kinda like you could solo queue in Cryo ranked, so somehow you can queue as a team on console in a solo queue. Or servers are so fucked they are putting into lobby solos and crews at the same time.
>>569181627
so what's the point of Bungie making us re-do the contracts again? story-wise it doesn't push the story forward each season, they should just make new ones for us to do and if we have completed them in the season we don't have to do them again.are they just lazy and don't want to make a whole new batch of them each season?
>>569182103Wasn't it the same in Arc Raiders, so you can basically get the same stuff after each season or something
>>569182103>are they just lazy ?
>>569181406There is. The kind of player you'll meet there varies. Even more so now, with an imminent influx of players. But cooperation is not unheard of. There is even an item that lets you revive a downed enemy player.
>>569181857Solos can que into trio games now. Your settings may have defaulted to that.
>>569181627It was me. I DDOSed Bungie, a company valued at 3 billion, so that their servers are now struggling to maintain a playercount of under 30k.
>>569182321Dont make me check that shit.
>>569182103name one extraction shooter where every season is a completely different campaign.
>>569182490I can't. But I was hoping that I would be able to.
servers stable now?
>>569182591No.
I'm five seconds away from dragging ziegler out of bungie and beheading him live
The last time bungie's servers crashed this bad, at least the instance I remember, was the release of Taken King.
>>569171720>>569181406there is solo but the game isnt optimized for it so your mileage will vary greatly. some people do really enjoy solo but it plays very differently and its not for everyone. you may enjoy the sponsored kit playlists, you get a much more even playing field and more casual players for the most part
>>569183120>t. Sony Exec
>whole team exfils>>if you leave without your team you may lose out on rewards etc>we all got out so leave>>the results of your previous run have not been finalised etc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-DQAiREHI0
>>569183137lmao the population is barely 30k. It's more likely that Bungie stopped paying for bigger server sizes for Marathon and the flex servers are still kicking in to accomodate.
We lose
>>569183271I lost a golden key to that shit. Exfiled, and instead of run report, i got "if you leave now you will not be able to receive bla-bla from your crew".Basically, had to eat the loss. Karma was merciful to me though, so i got what i wanted in the end in other runs.
Is this game like Deadlock? :)
>>569183768It's like cocklock, you loot, get gaped, locked, and watch them take everything you collected
>>569183768more rape in this game
>>569183768Not at all.
Day one and exfiling doesn't work. This game is so fucking cooked.
>>569184141Wellcome to my pain. I lost my golden key to that shit. In hindsight, it was a dark omen.
I don't get the idea behind this game. What am I extracting loot for
sheesh why does the battlenet software have to look so sus?
Destinyfags are crashing this plane With no survivors....
>>5691843541. get loot2. use loot to get better loot3. go back to step 1
>>569184354To take it into your next run and lose it
>>569184506Hmph, ironic :^)
>>569184354>What am I extracting loot forTo grow a juicy ass, for me to fuck
>>569184354So you know how there was this experiment where a rat was more likely to push a button that alternated food pellet reward with a mild shock than one that just gave them the pellet outright?Extraction shooters are just that.
>>569182490i'd hope Bungie would be the one to actually innovate
>>569184354Valuables give you money (and codex entries at higher tiers), salvage is for upgrades and bartering. The purpose of weapons, weapon mods, and equipment is obvious. And if there is stuff in your vault that you don't need, you can convert it into money or Cradle XP.
>Tfw you have played Destiny since its beta and watching people new to Bungo rip their hair out over day one major update server horseshitYou will learn.
>>569185261I think they got used to minor patches inside the season not causing issues.
>Throw Green flare as Rook into guarded extraction near N.Marsh Complex and say "Neutral" in prox.>Rook was downed by bots, likely didn't pop his ability in time.>Get into the circle and instead of pressing R to reload my pistol, i accidentally pressed E.>He gets knifed 3 seconds out of extract.God. Now i just feel bad.
Now Destinyfags will get used to minor patches of my dried cum sticking out of their assholes
>Doing perimiter with newbie friend, just the shit like get the nucal info from B U G H O U S E and shooting the shit>Find red flare on a random shelf in stationBug? or do these spawn outside nightmarsh?
>>569185803All flares and new items aren't exclusive to N.Marsh. You can find most of them in any map. There's also a huge chance of spawning purple and golden schemas in supply drops and any of the strongbox/guarded supplies. We had a thief who was puzzled why the Perimeter supply drop box had Prestige glow and there was a Mizzy schematic inside.
>2 minutes in>killed by lightninglmao
>>569185261i said this above, people shouldnt even be trying to play right now. minimum wait 6 hours for bungo to fix their shit. its bungie 101
>>569186313https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fP9qkHLF5bk
>update that is supposed to save Marathon>free too>not even breaking 30k
>>569181236do you think they used a controller to code your aimbot?show some respect to your overlords
>>569186313>That one streamer who died to the lightning in the tutorial and is so pissy to this day about it.I feel like lightning is a good sign of peoples auditory situational awareness.
destinyfags ddos'inglol
>>569186489Nobody cares or wants this garbage ass game. I don't know why Bungie keeps coping about this other than sunk costs.
>>569186489Free period starts in ten minutes
I'm going to use this Perimeter Station key I found! I don't mind if I die and lose it to a player! That's part of the game! Thankfully there is no other way of losing it!
>>569186807Retard sama.....
>>569186652well im not salty about it, ti's a learning experience. now I know environmental hazards are deadly
This game's aesthetic just screams "Trans Rights are Human Rights" to me and I'm here for it
marasisters, we're so back. I see no upgrades for stats, are they in the cradle? How do I see the cradle? Starting first run of S2 right NOW
>>568975505It's surprisingly easy to dodge with good agility and light weapon
UhhhWhich bar is my health and my shield?
>>569187436i dont know
>>569187436thick one above is shield
>>569187212The bright colors are there because they have to be machine-readable by the robots. The game's asethetic showcases the dark and soulless endgame of a globohomo transhumanist future, which in turn acts as a warning, not an affirmation.
>>569187342>first run of S2>30k players on>stuck on init contract system for a few mins nowit's not going well
We are so fucking back. God I am so hyped. I want to stomp on noob baby turtles. Give them a proper welcome to Tau Ceti IV
>>569187681its corpo-utilitarianism, tldr everything is shit but at least humanity is making progress, I guess.
I'm *really* fucking bad at this game but I want to help even if my longest time in a match is 45secs. How is the Sentinel for shitters like me?
the #MarathonTakeover needs to be studied
>>569188012Hard to say until everyone has enough grenades to spam again. His mines are cool. The radar seemed a bit useless to me.
>>569187703had to alt-f4 out and try again fucksake bungie
>>569187995Progress towards what? And only at the cost of the human form and spirit itself.
>>569187681R-right... this game is anti-trans! The troons will never know what hit them! *inhales copium*
>>569187995Just like real life Anon! We live in a cyberpunk, dystopian hellscape without any of the treats led around by retards like the United States and their White House while the rest of Europe rimjobs them and listens to their and Isreals every whim!
>>569188174colonising more planets so we can make more humans so we can colonise more planets so we can.. accrue value..
>>569188141Yeah, I thought the radar would look like it does in the trailer where everything goes red waves but it doesn't. I don't understand why they just made a Recon Lite with a ult thats worse than both Recon and Thief.
>>569188201It is subtly anti-woke, unless you see the world portrayed in Marathon as a desirable place to live in
Are we back or is it still rape central for simple solo niggas such as myself?
>>569188526Its rape for everyone
>>569188201>>569188494Everything about this game is Right-Adjacent Anon. MIDA is a cartoonish, insulting representative of Democrats, Liberals, and Leftists while all the other factions are Capitalistic or Capitalist-adjacent and are actually good.
>>569188526Go play Night Marsh as Rook or Solo. The extracts are much comfier this time as they make no noise and basically just illuminate a small radius.
>>569188526Well I'm doing solos so far I have died 3 times in a row. Twice to PvP and once just now to PvE. Getting raped with these basic bitch CyAc sponsor kits and no stats yet

>all these new thief skinsjfc we get it, shes the sex object character but come on man give destroyer SOMETHING, triage is even more shafted.
>Done a handful of full Nightmarsh Runs>Didn't see ANY of the hauntings or spooky shit that was suppose to happen like in the trailer>Saw ONE fucking flickering ghost at the start where we spawned near Quarantine and a shadow of an Assassin frame runs up behind my teammate with their knife and stabs them in the back and disappears.Apparently though you need a key to go underground in Nightmarsh and unlock a door which then spreads a flora plant that spreads shit around the map at a pace until last extraction going by some of the streamers talking about it.
A small primer on how extraction works in N.Marsh and sponsored.>UESC drops cards which you use for currency to open either loot crates or bring 5 to any of the DCON buildings to spawn an extract.>The extract usually spawns into a spot somewhere close to the DCON and activating it produces no sound, but illuminates a small radius around it, which gets stronger as the counter goes down.>Any rank of UESC can drop the cards, which means fighting bots is very lucrative.
>>569188494>It is subtly anti-wokeelaborate on that without hyperbole or direct attacks.
>>569188494>>569188693This is always the funniest cope imaginable for a dying game here where its shills will act like a game developed across fucking corporate Seattle and California in the 2020s is some stealthily based right wing propaganda and so it's actually worth sticking to.
>>569189082They need to do this for all tthe maps.
WE BROKE 30K THIS IS NOT A DRILL
>>569189082There are still normal guarded exfils too
>>569189217my favorite is when people say them liking the game/movie/show actually makes the creators seethe, or that they are enjoying it for the wrong reasons.
Exfil: >>569189265Exfil: >>569189265Exfil: >>569189265
>>569189323Yes and the final exfil. Considering how much stuff you can klep out of the map as a Rook and get away relatively stealthy, there should be no problem for anyone to get some decent Deluxe range gear out of simply running Sponsored Marsh or doing regular Night Marsh queue in either fill or Solo.
>>569188812Make that 5 times in a row now. Jesus christ its rape central for sure Btw. Are people hacking/cheating? I just encountered a very unusual situation. In solos, less than 60 seconds after loading in. I shot at a Triage and he had green shields. I instantly died, because he and THREE other people all started shooting at me simultaneously. I wish I'd recorded it. They were blatantly working together as a team, but the match wasn't even a minute in yet. It'd be unusual to even spawn that many people that close to each other, let alone getting in the same lobby together as well. Very unusual idk wtf that was.
>>569189197Theif and Vandal make me want to touch myself.
>>569188890kek what a bungie
>>569189719are you sure you didnt queue into trios without crew fill?
>>569174347which country?
>>569191082Russia.
>>569189719Yeah u can solo queue into trios now
