Night Marsh is unironically the comfiest map so far. It's the perfect balancing act between having a lot of high-end stuff to do, but it also provides your average scav a ton of opportunities that involve simply just doing PvE. It's wild they withheld this one for so long, as the intensely high-stakes nature of Outpost and Cryo really shouldn't set the bar for all content in the game.

Dumbass, PvE will kill this game.
I'm so, goddamn tired of fucking PvE carebears demanding shit in PVP GAMES. There are thousands of PvE games to play - go play them little bro. Extraction Shooters will always be niche with a small, but reliable amount of players (see Tarkov)
Adding PvE or, hell, adding SBMM would neuter this game in its entirety.

marathon is a pve series lil zoom zoom, and the unfortunate reality is ignoring the game's roots will kill this game and ultimately bungie, hence why they're rushing to staple pve to it.

marathon will eventually be pve-focused whether you like it or not, because it's what going to keep the lights on at bungie.

As usual, Destroyer will continue to stay strong in this season, but Sentinel kind of shakes things up a bit in terms of the whole push-pull dynamic so likely Sentinel will be going into many teams that play the smaller and CQC oriented maps.

Halo CE didn’t even have online multiplayer. Halo is meant to be a couch co-op experience, which is why Forge was so popular during the 360 days, brocolifag

>>569192092
>Bungie games have always been about PvP
the existence of pvp =/= marathon, halo, and destiny were pvp focused. claiming otherwise is actual, unironic cope.

halo pvp was also fun because it started as couch co-op splitscreen bullshit, and later on was just low-stakes fun chaos. doesn't apply here.

Unfortunately, unless you find yourself with opponents who dont shoot on site and are willing to be live-and-let-live types, ERP, RP, and in-team interaction and such are out of the question.

I don't remember this from S1, but Traxus and Mida have some limited missions and are threatening me against doing each other's missions. Could there be some permanent seasonal paths?

That wasn't in S1 at all, all of the missions were pretty self-contained IIRC and the only time someone told you to fuck off was with Orion warning you to not work with MIDA.
