We exist together now, two corpses in one grave.
Do we thinking that they are making a Marathon 2, or will be making one? With the positive reviews, I think we'll be due for a sequel at least. Maybe an MMO instead of a find-and-leave game

Wow rooking is quite fun, why have I never done this
/hg/ won.
>>578670734They could't design anything to save their lives.Also not enough goonbait or just some good enough looking girls to keep people returning.
>>578699196Wow, you have terrible taste, anon.
>>578699196Ah yes take something relatively refreshing and turn it into an autist template version (sanic, aniju)Fuck off
>>578699196do you look like that?
Do the flares reveal assassins?
>>578670734Also this >>578676065Seriously, all shells look either like barely militarized paintblasted cyborgs or game engine early dev testing models with some extra shapes for debugging newly coded physics (looking at you Rook, Triage and Sentinel, maybe even Assasin too).The thing is, those concepts CAN WORK!!!, but no shell looked good enough on its own niche to make people develop parasocial relationships with the general public that Bungie was aiming, and failed at, capturing. Practically no-fucking-one is going to pick Destroyer or Vandal over a generic Helldiver, at worst a CoD operator, not even a Spartan anymore, or some nice face chick from any of the gorillion other free FPS games featuring them in all flavors, most not even trying sex baiting, that you can imagine, that Marathon is still failing to compete with.>>578700950Thankfully no, but i have another image. Here. For posterity. At least the people that will dumpster dive into the archive years from now will have some variety to look at when going back thread by thread, or up from the start until our soon-to-be end.
>>578699196>>578703098these suckpersonally, I prefer george droid
so what game is the marathon community moving to? my bet is wolverine, i think snoy buck-broke all of you.i could see some of you getting cod mw4 and saying its the best game ever, but i still think wolvering is the game you are waiting for.
>>578663940>>578669334>>578669413It's back.
>>578699196>They could't design anything to save their lives.Sentinel is a counterargument to this.

>>578670734It's a game that caters to griefers and gamblers and there's not enough of those to keep it alive
>>578670734a total of 3 fucking mapsthe ((("endgame"))) content consists of one total medium sized arena that, get this, is a limited time event each weekthe ONLY mode in the game is a battle royale masquerading itself around in an extraction flesh suitno arena modedespite having one of the richest settings, lore bits, and story in the gaming industry thanks to the original 3 games from the 90's, not a single story mode or campaign in sight. all lore and story are both relegated to a few terminals scattered across each map that give vague hints about some sort of overarching theme outside of "you loot goblin, you kill thing, take thing from thing"despite being in the one genre of gaming that SPECIFICALLY caters to loot goblins, the balance of weapons/loot, mixed with the overall LOW amount of weapons/loot in the game's loot pool, contributes to an environment where there will be times you wipe multiple squads on the map just to find at the end after exfill you only really saved one or two peices of gear, that may or may not include a weaponwhen bungie DOES decide to make a "balance" pass at the weapons, it ALWAYS comes at the expense of at least one gun, meaning there will always be only a handful of even remotely viable, and or two weapons that could be considered "meta"each season resets all progress outside of core contracts the (and i cant stress enough how heavily emphasized this next word is) "story" of this gamepve mobs are overtunedthey drop jackshit so half the time its better to use them as bait for other squadsthe map events are braindead, both in difficulty and design, the "challenge" comes in when there is another squad near and you have to fight for itthe one weapon that drops fromt the ((("endgame"))) boss was nerfed into a pit of mediocrity because apparently the extraction community is filled to the brim with shitters that get filtered out of tutorial level pve gameplayso much more
>>578712238The endgame boss being a gigabuffed trash mob from the first game of the trilogy was also a big sin. It meant that the P'fhor were never really coming to the maps to fight us and the UESC since they are "2 Stronk 4 U" and i guess Bungie was just going to make one member of the alliance per species a respective boss across different endgame vaults across different maps. So, they were turning them into Destiny raid bosses but worse.They really released a game about aliens with practically no fucking aliens lol. And they were planning to never really add them. That's like if fucking Halo released a game with no former covie species anywhere or as single bosses that could only be fought by doing easter eggs like CoD zombies maps.I hope someone writes a book about the fuckups inside Bungie in 10 to 20 years from now. I want to see the thought process that went into stripping the series from its identity to make room for something hollow that was barely held together by cryptic lore nobody read and an artstyle that i still don't find appealing no matter how unique it looks.At least the OST is good. Props to Bungie, the aesthetic will live on in a million different games that will come to life in the future in which Bungie shall not exist anymore to coexist with them.
>>578714924during development there was a rumor that a decent chunk of the money set aside for marathon's development went to the fucking music production.seeing the game now, it wouldnt surprise me, bungo has this unique way of creating franchises with seemingly limitless potential, just to squander every last fucking bit of it either because they are incompetent or unimaginitive or both.snoy isnt helping anything either. they would rather "keep their pride" as they set their most beloved ip's on fire if it meant proving literally ANY other company wrong.
>>578714924>They really released a game about aliens with practically no fucking aliens lol. And they were planning to never really add them.You are extrapolating from a single data point.
>>578712238>richest settings, lore bits, and story in the gaming industrylol

>>578717464>one ofmissed that part>that was the only thing you focused on in that postyeah, shouldnt be surprised
Low-density lobbies because dead game have been kind of kino since there's actual tension instead of "well here we go again", when PvP isn't 100% certain
>>578670734800 hour player hereThe first misstep was that everyone already hated the game before it came out>"Ew, it's gonna be an extraction shooter?">"Wtf, one of the devs plagurised an artist's work?">"God this game is getting more dev attention than muh destiny!"Before they've even started advertising the game, a lot of vocal retards had decided they already hated it and were jumping up and down and throwing a tantrum. Bungie, in their infinite wisdom, then proceeded to not bother advertising the game until about a month or two before the game was coming out, and even then their advertisements consisted almost entirely of dark souls-esque one liners like "lmao you're gonna die oooo" and giving exclusive previews and access to e-celeb grifters that could care less about the actual game and were just in it for the paycheck. So already the game doesn't have a huge audience because people either don't know it exists or that it exists but everyone hates it so it probably isn't good, or they know it exists but don't really understand what it's about. No one's getting really excited for it because there's no cinematics for the game other than the one good one they released ages ago, and the only way to get an idea of what the game looks and plays like is to either be famous enough that you get invited to an exclusive playtest or you have to jump into some streamer's chat and put up with their obnoxius behaviour.Anyway the game comes out and while it's good and interesting and super unique, it has some huge issues and these effect everyone whether you like the game or not>Server errors, glitches and bugs out the ass>Unbalanced weapon sandbox>Cool build-crafting system that you can't really interact with because everything you need is gotten through RNG and because of unbalanced weapon meta>The game is designed around trios, so if you don't have at least two people to play with you basically can't play because fill queue is a nightmare1/3
>>578723004>To get to Compiler (the big, advertised boss fight) you have to go through argueably one of gaming's most cock and ball torture processes possible, requiring an absurd amount of hours, a dedicated team with tons of experience and game knowledge, extremely good gear and you need to wipe out every other team that's on the map 9/10 times. If you die it can potentially set you back not just an hour or two but literal WEEKS of playtime>Extremely limited amount of mapsNow these are some huge problems. What's worse is that these problems are still very present in the game and are argueably even worse, which is bad because there's more individualised problems that hit the two demographics of players, the most evident being low skill/casual players.If you're bad at marathon, you just don't get to have fun. That's the brutal truth, and it's totally understandable that it filters out lots of people. The problem though is these players even if they ARE good are still cucked out of getting to enjoy the game because there's no way for them to make any kind of progress in the game without sinking loads of time into it, which most of these people can't either through lack of patience, willing to learn or because they just don't have the time because of IRL responsabilities. Even if they spend their limited time with the game and good gear playing cryo, there's no guarentee they actually get any good gear because of how the loot economy and RNG is in this game, so they're usually stuck in low tier poverty which makes the game highly inaccessible to them.2/3
>>578723004>>578723104So why do high skill players or people with lots of time on their hands maybe dislike this game though?Personally, there just isn't enough for us. I've killed compiler several times now. I've filled out a majority of the codex. I've gotten to play around with almost every prestige weapon mod and shield and core. I've spent an extensive amount of time in ranked. Other than getting good gear, all you can do in this game really is just shoot other players and ruin their run. That's all there's left for me to do.I could spend 15 minutes to queue up on perimeter, but why would I? There's nothing there for me, nothing valuable to potentially get.Why bother logging on if my trio isn't on? It's not like I have any pressure to get good stuff before cryo, my vault is already stacked to the brim with good shitActually why bother playing cryo this week? Some shitheads found some new exploit, I don't really want to get cheesed because I refuse to cheat and Bungie refuses to smack these cunts in the head for doing obviously not-intended shitI want to try and mess around with a new shell or gun that I haven't really used, but there isn't enough in the game. Not enough weapons. Not enough shells. No new cores, no new mechanics to mess around with.Mix that in with the problems that have been there since the get-go along with every single update either making the game unplayable for an unspecified amount of time or introducing new problems and it's just a bit fatiguing. I've spent the past 6 months playing this game non-stop and for the last 2-months it's just been the same stuff every game. It's just a bit boring. As someone that cares about the story too, there being nothing happening this season story wise is a real let down and even less incentive to play. Just not rewarding to spend my time on the game, and even if I wanted to I literally can't because all of the season 1 vets I rotate in and out of my trio have stopped playing.3/3

>>578699196>just cater to pedos broFucking kill yourself pedo
>>578723004>>578723104>>578723243Only retard here is you lmao.
>>578725441Sadly yes. Was basically the last thing I grinded out before I've put the game down for a little bit. I am toying with the idea of maybe using the less utilised guns (KKV, SCAR, Ares, Punch) in high-tier matches like ranked and cryo and trying to make them work but the idea of spending my time doing that instead of playing a new game on my backlog isn't super appealing unfortunately, especially with cool stuff coming out soon like those star wars games>>578725685That's okay anon, I know the truth hurts so your first reaction is to just lash out instead of reflect on why you might be retarded. I know your love for graphs and line charts is biologically ingrained to the point you can't play actual games now, so if it makes you feel any better I don't hate you for being the retard you are.
>>578725497Dont be so hasty...The pedos and furrys have ALOT of money. Anon might be onto something here.
>>578723004>>578723104>>578723243Nailed it.
>>578670734It was never supposed to succeed. It existed for one purpose only - to inflate the value of a company so jew bungie owners could sell it for more and fuck off into the sunset. Sony got royally fucked over by design, I'm surprised they haven't sued anyone yet.
>>578706340I dont usually get cod but DMZ looks like it might be good. The problem with Mararhon is its easily the most hardcore extraction game so it makes the others seem like a joke.
>>578670734It failed for five main reasons. It's really fucking ugly, it has absolutely terrible onboarding, it has mediocre gameplay, it comes from a company that pissed off its primary fanbase to attract the modern audience, and it seems like it should have a phenomenal single player campaign. While there are absolutely some people who like how the environment, shells, and UI/menus look, most people imo find them atrocious. You'll find a large number of complaints regarding one or all of these visual elements. As for onboarding, it's basically an opportunity for experienced players to rape noobs, and combined with the terrible UI, made most people drop the game and get a refund. I personally know several of the biggest slop enjoyers I know bounce off Marathon hard enough to get a refund. The game has mediocre gameplay with things like aim assist, necessary trios, and hero shooter mechanics bring repellent to gamers in 2026. A good example is the winner of the first Marathon tournament being a mediocre CoD player who is 80% disabled in their dominant hand. Bungie pissing off its primary audience and looking for a new one that never showed up is pretty clear at this point. The good news and why it might still succeed is when it goes full PvE, which I believe we will see at season 3 launch. Any remaining PvPers will probably have to wait multiple seasons for any refinements, upgrades, or content for their section of the game. Since there's no single player campaign, but it seems like there should be, I believe that is another point of failure. Lastly I find the OST to be shit, but I believe that to be a minority opinion, and not a point of failure.
Hey, guys. The news section is back, I know you were all very concerned about its absence :)
>>578734921Marathon is the most casual, actually. This was true even before the shift to PVE. It has the most insane bullet magnetism and aim assist of any shooter. They don't even let people bring out powerful loot anymore, you need to sell it before leaving.
Pictured: Marathon fluctuating between being the most hardcore and the most casual extraction shooter depending on the poster's rhetoric.

>>578723243400 hour player here. Is ranked worth playing at all?
>Here's how Marathon can still WIN!
Reddit leak, proceed with caution and 3 table spoons of salt.>Maps & BossesMap-wide cooperative PvE, with events scattered throughout the maps.The new Perimeter has a large underground expansion, roughly comparable in scale to the above-ground area.There are supposedly 4 bosses:Compiler: Can be encountered naturally while exploring Perimeter.“Modified Locus”: A community nickname. It looks like a gigantic Locus shell. Its signature mechanic is reportedly similar to Atraks from Destiny 2: four shields, missile attacks, and relatively fast movement. It counts as an anomaly and is very easy to trigger—in previous testing, simply stepping into the area could cause it to appear.Tick Queen: The fixed boss of the fourth run in the new Perimeter.Mystery Boss: Has its own dedicated page, but almost nobody has encountered it yet. Trigger conditions are unknown.Every map except Cryo Archive has PvE content.>PvE & RunsThere are 4 runs total.For the first three runs, you can freely choose the map and extract after completing the objective.The fourth run always takes place in the new Perimeter and ends with the Tick Queen.During the first three runs, some materials go directly into your stash. The rest can either be sold for money or converted into Cradle XP.Gear obtained during the fourth run can be extracted.All four runs receive a score, and your combined score determines the final reward tier.Progress can synchronize between teammates. For example, if your teammate is on Run 3 and you are on Run 2, completing Run 3 with them will automatically advance your sequence to Run 3.>Flash BoostsEach player can equip up to 6, and they can be rerolled.Rarities: White > Blue > Purple > Gold > Red.HOT PATCH: Shield Batteries restore ability energy; healing items restore ultimate energy. Values: 3% / 6% / 9% / 12%.BIG IRON: When enemies are nearby, pistols gain additional range/accuracy: 15 / 25 / 35 / 45.ELECTRON RELEASE: EMP kills trigger chaining elect
>>578753037see, this is exactly the problem I told people PvE would have in this gameIf this is really true, this is one of those things that you play once, go "ok, cool" and then never ever touch again. the "replayability" is just gonna force you to endlessly grind it for some garbage cosmetic rewards or something, just watch. no one in their right mind would willingly play this more than once, if that.
>>578753401>the "replayability" is just gonna force you to endlessly grind it for some garbage cosmetic rewards or somethingIsn't that what Destiny was?
>>578753463EXACTLYThat is the problemThis is just gonna be "Destiny, but worse".Who wants that?Who is gonna "come back" for that?How many new players are gonna pick the game back up for that, realistically?
>>578753614It might spike upon the new season release, before falling off again. Vaguely interesting enough to try once or twice for me (and presumably other people), but not to bring back to the game long-term.
>>578753614>>578753901A PvP mode is supposed to be a side thing. It something you do if you want to play, but feel like you've had enough PvP for now. Hopefully, there are also non-negligible changes to the regular more (outside of the new Perimeter). Otherwise, see you in season 4, lmao.
>>578754241>see you in season 4what season 4?
>>578754428The one that will happen pretty much inevitably. Marathon will last 1 year, as ordained by Sony, and if the player count isn't satisfactory after season 5, it's actually, genuinely, completely, and unironically over.
>>578754605yeah, just like 2xko got one yearthey had the roadmap for the first year of content out, after allJust like highguard
>>578750107Yes and no. Ranked shows both the good and ugly sides of high-end combat but as an actual system the game mode is highly flawed. You can have some really fun fights, but also like 90% of the game is just camping and waiting to either ambush a team or third party another team. You’re guaranteed to fight people with good gear, so if you don’t actually care about your rank it can be a great way to pick up some purple and gold gear.>but what if I want to hit a certain rank for the clout/rank rewards?I’m sorry but the game mode is fucked and it’s not worth playing for that alone. Only play it if you want to either get good loot or fight people with guaranteed good gear. The shitty gun and thief skins shouldn’t be enough to force you to deal with the blatant cheating, organised teaming and long queue times you will have to deal with.
>>578754772Yes, just like how Marathon won't even survive to season 2.
>>578754860would you call this alive?

Give me one reason this dogshit general deserves to live when it literally can't even have more players online on Oceania prime hours than Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Let. It. Die.
>>578826123Including or excluding console player count?
>>578826123nyo
>>578826123Because I want it to live.
>>578826123>Oceania prime hoursmost functioning adults are still at work anon. Prime hours is in like 3 - 4 hours from now when people are off shift and had dinner, doompost and bitch then
>>578826123Because there's like 10+ gachaslop generals in the catalog despite them having their own board. Even the most dogshit real game deserves to be here more than any of those tranime gooner skinner boxes.
>>578826123chuds who don't play the game keep bumping this general so what can we do

>>578826123Leakers are saying a big ass bug is the PvE mode new boss. Which is kinda funny on its own since they are literally doing everything but the P'fhor.
>>578837943First, retard.Second, allegedly:>Tick Queen, guaranteed final boss at the end of every 4-map run, well, more like a MARATHON because god dammit fucking insane distance to walk or run through continuously.>The actual fucking Locus shell, not destroyer, as a PvE boss with heavy weaponry and multiple unique attacks and extra shields and armor>Random Compiler bosses floating around the perimeter, unknown if there's any variants.>Unknown 4th boss that apparently no playtester managed to trigger before the leak happened but had an UI icon so it exists. God knows what it does or is.
>>578838787>Perimeter allegedly reworked and given a whole underground section the same size as the expanded map>Locus returns as a character and bossNice to see the map get bigger but the Locus bit has me intrigued. Are all the post-theft and pre-rebranding original Runners-turned-nameless Shells going to be brought back into the story as PvE shell bosses with backstory?

>>578838787>Random Compiler bosses floating around the perimeter, unknown if there's any variants.if true its about FUCKING time
>>578712238you didn't mention the most important thing, that they failed to understand their audience, that the subgenre is very niche, and that it was planned as a pretty hardcore game which is also another niche

>>578844686This
Random explosions on Perimeter? Not the lightning or rocket drone. I was at the red secured box by Overflow, and saw an explosion at the SW building. Checked it out, both claymores were intact and no-one was around. Went back to the box and more explosions happened on the hill behind the main building. Weird glitch, I feel like I've been hearing these same explosion sounds and just brushed it off as other players nearby.
3k peak today I bet
>>578840752I remember when people with better ideas than the entirety of bungie speculated that maybe a compiler would be released on marsh or something after the first compiler killFor a company that fucking loves reusing old shit it’s kind of amazing it took them over half a year to recycle the only unique enemy in the game. I guess the problem was that a way to engage with tbe compiler outside of playing 52 pickup in cryo was something the players were actually asking for
I think Destiny wonned, bigly and Marathon losted. But I'm not sure yet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xKp_4mc5HMSentinel cinematic
>>578863107zesTiny is live service crapnot that nu marathon is any better
>>578863609So is Marathon, well it's trying to be, but Bungie is too lazy to add any real content.
>>578861120Planted claymores blow after ten mins. Maybe somebody set traps
Does Marathon have a new map yet. Not playing old maps.
>>578863515Looks good, but it's a shame they didn't show off the mine. Hopefully the next shell's cinematic will come in the first half of the season.
Where the FUCK is the leaked season 3 footage from the playtests or are these Twitter retards lying
>>578867201Most of the leak is due to naive playtesters discussing the game in the official Discord.
>>578866752No, Marathon flopped so Bungie is going back to Destiny.
>>578869893I guess you could say it was their Destiny
>>578845049>>578844281So they walk around in moon shoes, rubber crop tops, with retarded makeup in heavy industry? The fuck kinda heavy industries you been working in, anon? t. guy who works in heavy industries and nothing about it looks like maraslop
>>578870949NTA, but I'm really curious about why you are in this general if you don't like Marathon.
>>578871153I liked some of the aesthetics in a vacuum, but the character designs and bland map design, and sweaty nature ruined it for me and I just never came back to it. Nowadays I'm just here to watch this dumpsterfire as it loses players, no doubt for similar reasons to me. I haven't even opened the game in like two months or since whenever the free week started.
>>578844686It's pretty thoughbeit
>>578871639I agree about the character design. I only like how Sentinel, Thief, and Rook look. Everyone could either use some work or is just straight up garbage (Triage). But I heavily disagree about map design. They are both detailed and well structured, nothing bland about them. My only issue with the maps is size.>and sweaty nature ruined it for me and I just never came back to it.Maybe should have tried solo, but reasonable.
Why does Tapkob get away with maps like Ground Zero, Factory etc. but then people seem to think Marathon has small maps?
>>578871641if you're brain damaged
>>578844686Marathon's version is ugly to most because it just looks like industry infrastructure with a bunch of plastic coloration to make it look sci-fi for the sake of not looking present day and that's it. I like it but i understand why most are very soon if not instantly turned off by it. It can come out as cheap or uninspired, which is ironic because the artstyle was definitely one of the most expensive and complicated things they invested in besides the rumors about the music being extremely expensive for some godforsaken reason that we won't know until 10-20 years later.
>>578872859The best way to play these games when you can't bother with extensive builds and the feeling of losing stuff is to just grab the cheapest shotguns, explosives and other disruptive trinkets besides ammo and instantly target the most expensive looking MoFos on the map every run. Grab their expensive stuff, sell it ALL and then buy more shotguns, explosives and disruptive trinkets. There's very few things that someone with an optimized build can do when a rando hits them with 00 buck or a massive detonation at point-blank.Doesn't matter if you die, you are running on the lowest possible investment so losses are entirely offset by the few wins that you can achieve.

ive seen people say what is wrong with the game, ive sen people say that there needs to be more maps that arent just light's off versions of a map that already exists.what i havent seen is what people here who actually still play the game legit want, like what is your wishlist of items if bungo magically started to care and listened to the feedback? aside from the more maps and such. is that really all it would take for you? because i think this game needs more but i dont know what that would be only because of the way the studio launched it. personally i think it was shortsighted to launch the game with just one mode, regardless of what genre that mode was in. this game needed at least 3, if not 4. this could have been THE pvp experience for this generation and they handicapped themselves from a design perspective, limiting their cope too narrowly.i dont know what, or if, the studio could do to actually bring people back and enjoy the game. i truly think at this point it's too far gone, and truly believe most of that problem stems from the developers trying to force the extraction shooter angle. what do you anons think?
>>578940226scope
>>578940226A 20+ hour single player campaign with a wide variety of interesting enemies, and new game plus.
>>578941241A campaign would be a waste of resources. Anyone who asks for a campaign just wants to play a completely different game and should be ignored.
>>578940226>what i havent seen is what people here who actually still play the game legit want, like what is your wishlist of items if bungo magically started to care and listened to the feedback?* PvE downscale in solo mode because spraying bullets at a warden/convoy for 3 minutes is the antithesis of fun* cryo for solo and duos (with respective PvE balancing)* less dinner bells because they replace tension with cortisol* firing range* some PvP mode for chilling (arena, TDM)* faster load-in times, like allow people to join empty maps or with only 2 teams present and then others can join during first 2-4 minutesi'm not hopeful for any of these though, bungie seems to like convoluted and backhanded solutions to problems instead of doing simple things
>>578941241i don think a campaign/story mode would help. i do not think it would be enough to make a dent. it would bring people around in the short term, but would help with retention. my view is they need to take your idea, add on top of that an arena mode with at least 15 maps, and throw more maps into the extraction, with a weapon reba;ance. i just dont see them being able to do ANY of this, let alone the entire damn list. i think it's cooked.
>>578941651i do think a campaign/story mode would help
>>578941525Considering this game is peaking at ~3500 players, I don't think wasting resources is that big of a deal. Sony and Bungie have endless money, they should make the game I want.
>>578941651>add on top of that an arena mode with at least 15 mapsI'd be happy if they just rotated around already existing POIs, despite not being designed for such, but since it's a chill no-stakes mode who cares
>>578940226>what i havent seen is what people here who actually still play the game legit wantThis was said a bunch of times. Including by me.>what is your wishlist of items if bungo magically started to care and listened to the feedback?More or less what this guy said >>578941527But that's just what is feasible. What I truly want is a move away from team based hero shooter gameplay towards single player focus with customizable characters, both in terms of looks and equipment. And larger maps. Not just new maps, but also rescaled versions of existing maps. I want Dire Marsh to actually look like it's supposed to feed the colony, not a small village.>>578941778Bungie doesn't have endless money and especially not endless time. A good campaign would take at least 2 years.
bot just booped me off of outpost...
>>578923138>bloody dead shit game
So what was with the news page fake drama anyways? Shouldn't the game be offline now?
>>578947606the entire news section on bungo.net was taken down, for both destiny and marathon. in the past, with things like twabs/twids/patch notes, if something was deleted, or taken down for editing, the page would still be accessible, just with some cute message about stars or some shit, basically saying to give it a minute. this time, the pages were completely removed. noone knows why, this has never happened before, snoy/bungo havent said anything. its all speculation.as for what people are saying, i dont know, because i havent heard anything. but for a while there it did seem suspect. site maintenance has always been announced, both on twitter and the bungo site itself. so...who knows? something happened, we just dont know what or why.
imagine if they designed all the characters like sentinel and covered their ugly ass faces. i think people would've been more receptive to the hero characters in general
>>578924752Don't forget you need 2000 ammo
>>578950394imagine if each shell came with something that only it could do, and all of the cores were equippable across all of the shells, outside of 1 per shell that augmented the one thing each shell has. part of the reason this game failed was the lack of customization due to narrow scope, which came about because they designed it as a fucking hero extraction. this studio deserves death.
>>578940226Meeting adjourned
>>578941527>* PvE downscale in solo mode because wah wah wahThey nerfed UESC shortly after release and they are a fucking joke already. Get good
>>578951764you think tedious = difficult?
>>578951956Well what's the challenge in 1-3 headshot each enemy one by one? They went from something to fear to mere inconvenience.
>>578940226This isn't what I want, but carebear mode for the Destiny faggots would have held players. Strikes or whatever for people to run through, shoot at health bars and collect loot, as that's all Destiny is.Mulitplayer would still be the main mode. I think the problem with a single player campaign is the engine is so limited with what it can do, it would all be press button on terminal and do something to dropship. It would just be boring unless it's a heavily survival focused experience. We've seen already with sponsored modes, one team is fucking boring and just running to beat the timer.
>>578952152the og comment referred to bosses, try learning to read
>>578952343Yeah and it's already easy, maybe you should play Destiny
>>578952427if you think headglitching and holding left click for 3 minutes is riveting gameplay then you are a certified slop eater
>>578839871Same
>>578940226>what i havent seen is what people here who actually still play the game legit wantI just want more content. I love the base gameplay loop. Give me more maps, more shells, more weapons, more priority contracts, more codex. I want more of this roguelite scifi stalker.
>>578952878I don't really even see where the story can go. Contracts being the same S1 to S2 is a bad sign. Will things ever change? We've already had UESC escalation. Where is the story going?
>>578953369Aren't we more or less on tau ceti to figure out the fuck happened during the first game? Go with that for starters.
>>578940226I just want more maps on the Marathon and the Colony. More guns, more shells and I want the pfthor. A major issue I can forsee is that now that Destiny 2 is dead they're going to start warping Marathon into Destiny
>>578941241the trilogy is free on steam
>>578888728post more sluts clothed, sir
>>578958584I dunno the timeline seems detached from the originals. UESC went to Phfor home planet and blew them the fuck out after Marathon 3, with FTL comms now possible in nu-Mara, Orion should be well aware and able to rape Phfor at will.I would like a map where we invade the UESC ship in orbit.
>>578967985there's several codex items that mention the UESC are aware of the Phfor and have code names for them
>>578967985the timeline of Durandal returning to Earth and the UESC attacking the Pftho might not have happened due to the events of Infinity. The colony isn't a giant hole because we're on the enslaved timeline

This is one of the things I like about solo that aren't possible in trios. You can encounter someone, fight, and have both parties survive due to one escaping.
>>578998539damn this game is so fucking ugly
>>578998998Wrong.
>>578998998You just don't get it
>>578998998Correct.
>finally muster a loadout to try my first non pve raid of cryo>killed by a guy with a knifeHm
>>579001472Lmao I've been thinking about trying it tonight
cuayo archive..
>>578993693Huh
Lately Ive been playing solo trios. I cant tell if the game jumpscares you on purpose when alone or if being a trio really does make you jot give a fuck and not notice these things.
>>578941241Not even a whole campaign, just one story mission in each map and that's it. That would have been enough. People enter the current MP only state of the game and they have no fucking clue what the hell is happening. They then try to play the free trilogy on-steam and are faced with Doom .wad-tier gameplay that most just won't get past its first mission.
>>578940226The maps not staying live made me quit. I went back to heavily modded Ark.
>>578914954Kek is that an AI image? The rear half of the gun does not look like thatAnyway, I think it's meh. I am more interested in opening the firestorm lockers for the purple/gold stuff they drop. I was bewildered when I found out it doesn't one-tap a blue shield to the head.
>>578940226Definitely needed a "cheap" open world "do whatever the fuck you want, there's no building mechanics, vehicles or story anyways, just looting and shooting" mode. Just to loot goblin aimlessly and make people shut the fuck up about PvE.
>>579005696>The maps not staying liveWhat do you mean?
>>579008004Persistent like a cs server
>go to raid with free kit alone>do mission>no lossesWhy the fuck was I using my shit to babysit crew fills this is broken
>>578940226It was an obvious mistake to everyone but Bungie. Delta Force most likely would have failed if it only launched with the extraction mode. I still don't understand why they didn't go all in on this universe with a singleplayer campaign, regular pvp, and the extraction mode. But Bungie is too lazy and stupid to do it properly anyway.
>>579013825I imagine when the hero shooter guy came in, everything got canned, and we got what we got.
>>579014846When Barrett laid out his vision for Marathon it didn't included any additional modes either. I think this was always the scope, a massive AAA extraction shooter. They just forgot to make it massive or update it with any content their core audience enjoys.

>>579044436this is itthe secret sauce behind the fabled and world-renowned Bungie gunplay
>>579044436destiny has lower aim assist than that. red minigame players sperged out over the reticle being too weighted towards anything coming into field of view, and would start tracking targets your eyes technically hadnt caught yet when zoomed in. bungo released a patch (a season? two to three seasons?) after The Great Sperg and "fixed" it (admitedly much better now than it was). that was.....beyond light? which released in 2020.bungo never learns anything. they will continue to fail. they will continue to ignore feedback. the devs believe that everything they know and do is and will be always better than anything oyu, the player, can dream up.find a new game. find a new studio to rally behind. bungo is a shell of its former self.(this patch may have happened BEFORE 2020, beyond light. bungo is a fucking joke)

>>579096294Who fucking cares you can only see it on the ready up screen anyway
can someone post a side by side for those of us who dont understand why this is causing drama?surely the ad for the skin cant be THAT much different to the in game model....
>>579096294They will end up giving 200 silk because they fired the art guys
>>579101561On the right is the "leaked" survey art of this skin from the end of season 1. Everything to the left of it is what is in the game currently. Store promo image, skin thumbnail, and the skin itself. It's not that they are different, but that it kinda fucking sucks and the more voluminous hair from the survey version looks better.
>>579102501Why does she have such a fat fucking face in the game?
>>579102501Reminds me of Delta Force skins (Yes Im the resident delta force player)((No there isnt more than 200 people online))
>>579102921Hello saar!
>>579102501>marasissies falling for bungie oldest trick
>>579096294they are "actively investigating" the difference between two images. So this is the power of nubungie, wow.
>>579108863Bungie's Claude agents are on the case
>>579108863It's just corpo speak for "we know that there is an issue, but we don't know what it is or how to solve it". Besides, there are actually no differences in the model used for the store promo image and the actual skin, so an investigation into the source of customer dissatisfaction is warranted.
>>579102501well, as a d1 alpha through to final shape destiny player, all i can say is that this is the same company that reduced breast size on armor from d1 to d2 and started changing model proportions as well. i dont know what to tell you, they are incapable of making the correct decisions, even if it is something simple like making an attractive skin.its like playing modded doom 3 on the community lucifer difficulty, they arent making it past the tutorialim sorry this is happening to marathon, i gave up on this compamny long ago, but it seems like you are still hopeful, i would caution you to temper your expectations.
>>579110578
>>579111454what, you like tha ai generated slop skin?you know bungie uses ai for even their npcs, right anon?this company is fucking cooked, dont act like this is some esoteric level knowledge only a few people know.
>>579111998>you know bungie uses ai for even their npcs, right anon?No, I don't, actually.
>>579114862well, the more you know
>>579115028I'd like some proof, if you have any.
>>579114862
>>579115138this anon beat me to it>>579115243
>>579115243That's concept art, not in-game art or a model. What ends up in the game (aka, what actually matters) is made by people.
>>579115463
>>579102501I actually really like this skin for Vandal but the entire Rabbit line of cosmetics is like actively gimping yourself in play
>>579119080Why did you delete your post?

How many of these fucking things do you need to do to get a story contract? I've already done 4.
>>579123771don't get arrested you have to save marathon
>>579124867there are no new story contracts with season 2. the night marsh contracts are standard ones
>>579108863>>579109687I've said it in the thread before but how bungie chooses to communicate and word their messages always pisses me off because they phrase it like they're always tackling problems or bugs or looking into errors that have popped up out of nowhere when 90% of said issues are just decisions they decided to make>"Fixed an issue where sekiguchi only had 1 implant stock"Like brother that's been like that for 3 months, what the fuck do you mean you "fixed" it? It was obviously intended to be 1 stock but they just decided to change it, so why not just say>"Altered the stock limit for sekiguchi"It just sounds so manipulative and shitty I hate it. Patch notes are already enough of a meme since they always forget to list several changes anyway
>>579124867A lot. Limited contracts are mostly filler.
Hey Bungie employee, it's been an hour without any posts in the thread. Wakey wakey, come bump the thread big boy.
>>579141353Heh... Bung

I had a white rabbbit skin player in ny crew fill.
>>579154414did you win
I can't get myself to care about loot at all in this game, because with my exfil rate of 70% (solo only) it means I can roughly play 1-3 matches in a row before losing stuff, then why get attached in the first place. So it's not like Diablo or Path of Exile where finding good gear hits the dopamine receptors, rather I'm just completely meh about it. With that in mind, the gameplay loop feels like tens of minutes of useless busywork in order to get a minute or two of PvP action. I occasionally dabble in this game for a day or two because I like the style and athmosphere, but can't find a hook to stay in it consistently. Anyone else?
>>579155143He and his friend engaged another team and died while I slinked aeay to do a quest instead.
>>579161918Your mistake is getting attached to gear. I see it more like having to make dinner with whatever you can muster from the bits left in the fridge, freezer, cupboard etc. Sure there are staples and things that you throw into most everything, but I'm not outtheree trying to make a consistent meal with the exact ingredients.Do you get gear fear?I just bring whatever based on the level of the quest I'm doing, if I have to kill runners or make a lot of noise trapped in an area I go in with the good stuff, if not I adjust accordingly, maybe even go solo trio with a free kit if its basic enough task.
>>579164703>Do you get gear fear?No, that's the thing, which is why I don't feel excited when finding good gear, thus don't know what I'm supposed to work towards, except enjoying the grind/experience itself, but that's not a hook that can keep me playing for weeks on end. I just come to this game every now and then, do some rook or solo pinwheel, feed stuff to cradle or lose it in cryo, and then I stop playing for a few weeks or a month because I had my fillSeems like the core gameplay loop is cursed either way:>be attached to gear -> you fear losing it and when you do it feels bad>be not attached -> don't care about the wins and missing the hook to continueThen if I mentally reframe the goal of the game to just go PvP, there's a lot of downtime or busywork that happens between encounters and matches, which is tiresome in the long run
>>579165524Well the purpose of these games isnt pure pvp, but rather pvp with stakes and handicaps. Tarkov arena is dire compared to Tarkov despite practivally the same gameplay.
>>579165719Hmm yeah I get what you mean, maybe it's not entirely my thing ig. Only that solo pinwheel is an experience unlike in any other FPS I've played, so I have to do a few runs every now and then.
>>579165924Whats the difference? I do enjoy beig spooked in solo
>>579170292Not sure, just that I'm doing Pinwheel in order to do Pinwheel, without any other goals? Which is fine, but not something I feel like doing perpetually, more like smoking a fine cigar on an occasion
>>579077947>bounces between 1000 and 20000 ccu randomly>not even top 1000 selling>barely 2 months old>people are talking about how dead lobbies are even around 20k playerssand is botted anyways so I would bet that mistfall has better real numbers

>>579124867it's like 6 missions per cutscene for the season 2 story>>579126123this anon is wrong and retarded there's season 2 story codex items
>>579189127>it's like 6 missions per cutscene for the season 2 storyMan, Bungie REALLY wanted to stretch that tiny amount of story out.
Even with the targeted fake ccu campaign, it's a failure
Ratting is the biggest complaint of solos, and the most popular shells (Assassin and Recon) are really good at initiating and avoiding fights, but have no real way to actually survive an attack. Destroyer, somehow maybe the least popular solo shell, is pretty good at this. You can jet or shield when being shot and then quickly reposition and heal. I think the problem is that his strengths aren't so immediately obvious and needs some game sense and map knowledge to really take advantage of. Basically, the next shell should be a character with simple movement or defensive abilities that make them highly survivable. I'm thinking of something like Tracer's time rewind, i.e. a panic button that resets the fight and lets you recoup without the rat knowing where you are to immediately come mop up. An ability like that should have a lot of flexibility without being aggressive.
>>579195021assassin can escape if needed. you have 2 smokes and invis
Every once in a while I load into a solo match thinking "hey it can't be that bad" but it IS that bad every single time
>>579204984In what way? I usually solo into trios so my enemies tend not to rat.
>>579204984Is it, though? I've pretty much only played solo this season. Sure, you can feel that the game isn't balanced for that, but this is preferable to random trios. But I've found a pair of guys who still play Marathon and happen to be in relative geographic vicinity to me via Vault Breaker, so I'll try solve some vaults using the keys I bought while it was possible.
>run into gold trio in dire marsh >lv500sMan alive
>>579205884That's why I haven't played trios since launch. Everyone was purple since week 2, and now everyone is gold. But in solo, some people are still on green shields.
And to think that we have almost a month left until season 3. I guess there will be news about it that will spark discussion.
I've died more to running out of time on the way to final exfil than I have other runners
>>579216803That's what you get for ignoring all those depleted cardio kicks.
>>579216803Try running faster next time
>>579216803thats bizarre desu. in 370 hours, thats happened to me literally only a single time
>>579219740I have a bad habit of not leaving until the exfil is on the map
I want to play sm but my tummy hurts lately
>>579222118you mean final exfil? those always spawn in the same location. not exact same spot but very close everytime. its always near center of map so when youre at 1:30 left, start running to the center. youll never miss it this way

Sony's Marathon has better graphics than Microsoft's Modern Warfare 4(2026).MW4 is designed to support the Switch 2, so it's visually dogshit. Marathon looks like a Next-gen game, compared to MW4
Marathon looks like Roblox, it's fucking ugly. And then there's the retard here that says "IT LOOKS LIKE A KINO AMAZON WAREHOUSE, YOU JUST DON'T GET IT, CHUD!". No wonder this game failed, it's only appeals to retards.
In a years time Marathon will be dead and CICADAMATA will still be going strong because it was made by a single guy with a beer money budget rather than $400 million by a company 'worth' $3.6 billion.
>>579243665>Marathon looks like RobloxThe textures/lighting, basically graphics, are better than most AAA games. Just because the shells look like roun-pieced roblox figures, doesn't mean the game in general isn't graphically impressive. Try the Modern warfare beta, it looks like an Xbox One(2013) game compared to Marathon
>>579096294"Investigating" lol you can't be serious. You straight sold up something that wasn't as advertised. What's there to investigate? "Oh, we were aware the whole time; we just didn't care because we are Bungo, tee hee."
is this game actually gonna get at least 5 seasons?with how the game is doing atm, I kinda doubt it
thousand-year thieftroon reich
>>579243665This attitude increases the probability of getting more generic looking CoD slop in the future. Why take risks in gaming if you're just going to get shit on, lol.
>>579267180ill take CoD slop over whatever the fuck marathon is. i know people here may not agree with it, but this game looks fucking terrible, and that is the prevailing sentiment the wider audience shares.and dont use "taking risks" or, "breaking the mold" as an excuse. bungo could have easily come up with their own unique artsyle without resorting to making the weapons and characters look similar to the lego aesthetics of roblox.it looks fucking horrible
>>579248756due to the money spent on bungo buyout, id imagine it will get the full 5 seasons. now, will the fourth and/or fifth get cut short? dont know, possibly.it will be interesting to see what happens when the pve mode next season fails, bungo/snoy seem to be all in on making it the "revival" of the game. cant wait to laugh at them again while their retarded ideas backfire on them
>>579271870>it looks fucking horribleSubjective, I think it looks great. Much preferred over CoD slop of the year.>and dont use "taking risks" or, "breaking the mold" as an excuseBut that's exactly what it is. If not, then what?I've seen many games whose style I don't like, but they don't live rent free in my head. I just appreciate the devs doing something unique and leave them at that. I recommend doing the same.
>>579271870>that is the prevailing sentiment the wider audience sharesthe chuds are noisy on social media and youtube so there is some selection bias. most people i've shared screenshots with have been ambivalent or slightly positive about the artstyle

God, please, let season 3 have story progression.
>>579283798Lol, lmao. Can't believe I paid £34.99 for this, can you even call the gameplay polished?
>>579243665>IT LOOKS LIKE A KINO AMAZON WAREHOUSE, YOU JUST DON'T GET IT, CHUD!pleb
>>579285457I don't see how your post logically follows from mine.
>>579285586So there's barely any story/content and I paid that amount of money for it. The gameplay itself while I enjoy it, isn't even that well done with bugs and glitches all over the place. Should be f2p with how barebones it is.
>only 58k missing to 1mil cress+vault valueI'm so close
>>579285586They get paid a handful or rupees for every piece of marathon hate they slur out so it's very common for them to just make incoherent statements and arguements that don't relate at all to what you're saying, please understand
>>579287138Looking at post 579285737, I think that might be the case.
>>579287138>people who like the game are Indian shills>people who don't like the game are Indian shills >people who fairly criticise the game are Indian shills

>>578670734They created a game in a niche genre that needed platinum numbers to be considered a success after how much money it cost to make + the amount sony paid to buy bungie itself, but weren't willing to compromise to make the game appealing to the casual it needs to fund it. It's like the extraction shooter version of Riot's league fighting game.

Damn I was gonna actually buy Collar Dudey this year for DMZ but the demo says I dont have safe boot tpm 2.0 or some shit (and?) even though I do. Weird. Anyways whats this new contract I've got that warns me about other players? Or at least says we cant all do the quest. Never had one of these before.
>>579310479You have tpm off, just turn it on.
>>579310585Its on I just checked my sysinfo
Has anyone ever actually been exfil ganked? I've only ever had people try something maybe twice and they were always far too late
>>579311027What does tpm.msc say? You also need secure boot enabled.
>installing malware on you computer to play woke extraction slopdo you guys really?
>>579317120Happened to me a few times, yes. But I do believe that the risk of this is overblown.
>>579318137But enough about Marathon
>>579317120Plenty of people have camped my exfils. The only time I've actually died was once at final, it stung because I was going to drop purple salvage for whoever showed up, but they had an ambush planned. I don't take risks like that anymore.
>>579317120Does it count as extract camping if I see the beam go off and sprint 200m to them and kill them?
