There's no CoD thread either, and it's one of the biggest games on the planet.

Shutting the game down now is a humiliation in itself, even if it is obvious it will never make a profit. The real question is how long it takes for marathon to fade into being so obscure that no one even notices it got shut down

>>566534730
I brought up that you're bitching about a game you don't play because the game you do like is dogshit and couldn't sustain its own general. Marathon is fine, it's getting more content, it's one of the most recognizable IPs now, your game amounts to nothing and no one will mourn its passing. The idea that sales is equivalent to quality is absurd, the entire genre of 'cult classics' and hidden gems gives proof to that. Marathon is niche in a niche genre, with a strong art direction, it was never going to sell to a legion of chudlings.

>>566532732
No. Sony doesn't know what to fucking do with Bungie. They're losing money every month. An anthem ending where they don't do any real dev and just let the thing run for a year or two is a possibility, but you aren't guaranteed that. Especially as they have other extraction shooters to promote in the pipeline.

Because they have some hardcore players, they're going to want to give them an offramp. A "go play this game" thing. But you are promised nothing but the next season for now.

>>566535578
I highly doubt they think they can translate Marathon players into Fairgames players, that game is an actual Concord-like. If it came down to "who gets to be our Sony extraction shooter" Marathon is obviously the top contender.

>>566535578
The free to play pivot is still on the cards and would at least make Marathon as attractive as Delta Force is until the Fairgames exit ramp is created.

>>566536018
Fairgames premise and main vibe is cringe as fuck, it's gonna flop hard.

Idk man, i had 3 run-ins in Dire Marsh in one excursion, and they did not shoot me or i them - we were doing that whole "go to bio-research, then to quarantine, then do a cage fight with UESC, then exfil". It all went very chill, despite ugly possibilities.
Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with some people?

>>566550014
Again, why do you feel entitled to be left alone in a pvp game?

Ffs. Just had a run on Perimeter where I just kept killing and killing and more runners just kept coming. My two teammates went down so it was eventually just me, pulled off all these crazy maneuvers and thought it was finally over. I go to revive my teammate and ANOTHER runner jumps out at me, somehow I kill him. NOW, it's definitely over, I think. Then I get shot in the back and killed.

In the end we had NINE runner eliminations collectively, and that's just the finishers. I swear people are teaming like a mother fucker and it's gonna be the final straw that kills this game.

Shit is so lame how often you get 3v6 and even 3v9'd. With how low the player count is these faggots can all but guarantee they get in the same lobby every time.

>>566550647
Again, why do they feel entitled to PvP in a PvE game?

>>566551143
You likely confused a legitimate third party for a team-up. Still, they really need to implement some system that detects whether two teams came into contact with each other and then both successfully extracted from the map. Just tag them and ban from getting sorted into the same match for the next 24h or something. Or 48, even if they reshuffle members.

I was angry at people, who were asking for PvE modes or SBMM. When I saw people teabagging and saying friendly, I killed them, because of the posts that made me mad. I grew out of this, and started letting people self-rez and leave. I realized I was a spiteful subhuman, and I have the power to be more than that. One direction does not control me, I am free.

Because it is. They just copy and pasted some of the worst weapons from D2 and increased the bullet magnetism.

Playing with randos is pure suffering. What a fucking retard. The funny thing is, I managed to revive the triage and they'd barely even looted him.

Not only did the assassin die because of his own foolishness, he also lost everything due to impatience when he could have still recovered if he'd just waited.

>>566536195
No mtx rev=dead f2p. It's one of the reasons you're getting surveys about fixing it. Marathon's still in a much worse situation than Delta Force, because people saw it with the free server test, and didn't stick around, and people who have been playing it haven't stuck around either. It had a AAAA level of ad spend. Everyone interested in shooters has heard of it ,so there's no blue water audiences to grab. The price drop doing pretty much nothing implies that it's not price sensitivity.

They still may do it but it's absolutely not guaranteed.

Cryo is just way too much of a one-stop-shop for me at this point. I genuinely feel nothing about doing any other map because they feel like such a waste of time.

If I do pinwheel I have to fight multiple squads of fully geared sweats summoned directly to my location

If I do purple key rooms I have to fight multiple squads of fully geared sweats summoned directly to my location

So why would I not just fight the fully geared sweats in cryo where the reward ceiling is just so much higher if I win? Why would I waste any good gear on lower-reward events during the week at all? I'll just do free kit mode to stockpile healing and grenades until they let me back into the only map that doesn't feel like a massive progression grind

I feel like the other maps just need more loot, not even -better- loot explicitly. Warden on Perimter turns into a fucking camp fest, everyone knows when the boss gets spotted and engaged, and for all your efforts the actual boss MAYBE drops a single cryo key (which means you better be playing with your clique because you can't split a fucking key between randoms), MAYBE a single rare valuable (5k at most), and a SINGLE smg.

I don't think the game is a slog, but it becomes really appearent that it's structured entirely around Cryo once you hit the mid-game meta-progression. It's more cost-effective just to aim for credits because good fucking luck actually finding blue or purple shields and backpacks in the wild if you aren't running keys, which are ther own fucking issue.

The maps feel great when you're upgrading your trees and lore hunting, but honestly feel kinda terrible when you're just trying to punch your loadout up higher.

>have a problem that didn't get fixed when reported last month
uh oh

matchmaking is so funny in this game
back to back to back runs of the same key (quarantine morgue). all play out extremely differenly

first is west gate spawn, quiet map, with exfil on top of key room. quick in and out
second is shit spawn, crawl across the map fighting teams, and get killed by last team on the map arriving at quarantine at the same time as us
third, we hear someone open our key room 3min in, camp the roof and kill them as they leave. every other exfil popped immediately, and the lobby was empty by 18min so we also grabbed warden and anomaly.

the room was pure ass though, only got 1 gold (an implant) and two biolens seeds from the whole deal. not even any backpacks aside from the ones that team brought with them.

Nahhhhh matchmaking has to change in S2. I was blue and both my teammates were purple, this is not fun at all.

Why would they change the intended player experience? You are supposed to be raped by better geared players. They escaped and made themselves gods, while you are the plebs to their slaughter.

>>566597081
You might not make 100 by end of season. Also hitting vip with certain factions is crucial for salvage if you're not gonna do cryo or outpost Pinnacle consistently

>>566597378
They really need to smooth out what the gear distribution looks like throughout the season

I know extraction shooters are about dealing with whatever the dice roll tells you what to do but it should be the job of the designer to at least manage the economy or progression of the game to avoid this extremely "top heavy" feeling of lobbies. Instead they incentivized every player without purple shield access to just hide out in Sponsored mode forever making the gear distribution of normal lobbies about 10x worse

And even if you have purple shields there's STILL no reason to do normal lobbies because you'll just be matched against other purple shields most of the time. So if it's going to be balanced either way why would I risk my good shit for the exact same loot as sponsored queue?

So now the only people left running normal queue are people running keys because there's no reason to do it otherwise. Which makes keys 5x more dangerous then they would be because they're always contested or camped.

They desperately need to force regular casual players back into the normal queue doing a *variety* of objectives with a higher diversity of loadouts. Purple and Gold players on perimeter can still be the rapers, but they shouldn't be 60% of a players encounters when they're 100 hours away from it themselves

My main complaint about this game even though I put a lot of hours in is you're basically forced to look up a guide instead of organically figuring things out

>>566598943
>So now the only people left running normal queue are people running keys because there's no reason to do it otherwise. Which makes keys 5x more dangerous then they would be because they're always contested or camped
Yup. You would be surprised how quiet solo Perimeter is. Assassins running keys, some fucks trying to find them. Key rooms popping 3 minutes into end of match provided exfil is in vicinity.
Maybe that is why i am shot in the face as 'sass because what they dont realise is that i am just doing contract and have fuck-all on me.

>>566597791
AYY LLAMA.
[llama noises intesify]

>>566597378
>>566598943
Its not just the gear that needs to be changed.
Sound design/propagation too. At no point should you be overground and 100 metres from POI and hear what happens underground 120 meters away. Doors need to be quieter, same with windows breaking. Footsteps. A fucking toggle walk/run button. Noisemaker grenade/gadget. Assassin's invisibility activation and deactivation. A lot of small things.
Right now everything in the design is basically "fight the other guy!" and it is tiresome. You make noise that as far as you can hear is quiet? The other guy hears it from being in 3 rooms over and has you in sights. You pop that comlink? Half of the map hears you. You need to scan a shroom? Anyone not even looking in your general direction can see you and that massive blue scan field. You made a soft jump? Guy from over 50 metres hears it as a solid thud. What the fuck is this sound design? It is bullshit, i can tell you that much. And same goes for Key Rooms, dropships, and exfils. The only things that make sense are secure chests and wall safes - atleast those do blare as they should.

You PvP because otherwise doing any event on the map that gives actual loot is a shitty idea if you're just going to get third partied. Every facet of the design screams at you to either clear the map or wait for someone else to start it so you can swoop in while they're at their weakest.

There's no incentive to make the first move, ever.

The worst part of PvP in Marathon is the fact that like hell you will ever be matched against the player who killed you again.
God help companies if someone hacks the infra and gets data, and then executes vengeance on retards who "its just a game bro!", "dont hate the player!", "you need to chill bro! dont take it seriously!"
Yeah right. Enjoy that rebar sticking out of your skull or pulverised ribs while drowning in your won blood. What, being on receiving end is not that fun, is it? How's that Arachne working out for you, while you are dying? Still whoreshipping them?

Destiny 2 won, somehow.

>>566616215
Lmao, you gotta just learn to not care. It's only pixels on a screen, only thing you really lose is time, which if you're having fun is time well spent I think.

Yesterday I was on Outpost and had a bunch of gear I'd scavenged. It was final exfil, 30 seconds left, and then a team was exfilling on a roof nearby at the same time. They sniped me, then shot me again finishing me off in the last few seconds of the game. Their exfil finished immediately afterwards. They gained nothing out of it, and would have lost nothing to just leave me alone. They killed me entirely to be dicks, just because they could.

Did I get angry? No, I laughed. Because it was funny. The comedic timing of it, the absurdity of it. I don't think Marathon is a good game to play if you are the type to get emotionally invested or become upset at other players being cruel.

Try Rust instead. Rust is I think a much better game for someone like you. All the players in that game are friendly and kind to one another, none of the senseless violence or griefing you see in Marathon's playerbase.

>>566620236
Point is, you shot them. Sure, you used a mercy kit on them, but it doesnt change the fact that you shot them. You did not ping friendly, you did not use voicechat.
Not to say that it was a bad thing, considering they may/or may not have returned the favour, though.

Now tell me how many times you were downed and rezzed by other players? How many used mercy kit just to down and kill you again? How many use voicechat or ever bother to ping?

Game provides basic functionality, and majority of players ignore it. "Blame the game" does not apply when you have many means and tools at your disposal to co-operate, yet refuse because reasons. It will always be "blame the player", because even when given the choice, they will, in majority of cases, choose to go after each other because "the other guy has better loot". Gambling mindset. Players like that deserve only one thing - to be permanently banned from playing any videogame that is not pong or tetris.

0. One time, there was a Rook party in the Pinwheel and I got downed while fighting bots, and another Rook revived me. Another time, a Rook nearby was downed by my claymore, so I decided to revive him, and he wasn't aggressive.

Bungie won, Sony lost
They get to make their pet project with trannies and don’t have an expectation to sell, while sony is scared shitless to shut it down because they’re afraid of what it’ll do to the perception of live service PlayStation games (doesn’t help that the next two live service games in their pipeline are going to fail)

Good missions. But oh how hairy they get.
Thats one other thing about this game - completing contracts does not contribute to player's xp gain. I have completed more than half of NuCaloric and Traxus missions, and barely got any xp from them, except faction rep. This is bullshit. Not to mention, there need to be xp gains for reviving other runners, completing a contract without killing runners/bots, etc. Way too much fucking focus on PvP, and way too much gain from PvP.

LLAMA. You fuckers are so "imma gansta stone-cold-killa" and you cannot handle a few fucking bots?! With all those Outlands and silenced Bullies? You people are lower than dirt! What a muppet. Is this what playing PvP does to people? They cannot PvE for the life of them?

>>566634480
Nah. Kill player? 50 xp - down and kill, extra 10 for looting the bag. Revive player? 100 xp. Kill revived player? -1000 xp.

And more on point of xp gain.
I've completed multiple missions not even fighting bots. No weapons with me except for the knife. There should be rewards for pulling off a clean - no kills - mission/infiltration. And so the game is shit - it has everyhting it needs to be a good game, except valorant retard turned it into a game with identity crisis which is thus plagued by retarded PvPfags who treat it as battle royale with extraction tacked on, and some cheaters here and there. Always fun to see a Recon.

Why do people use silencers on the Bully? Is the hipfire buff so strong to beat out other barrel mods? Even the recoil one?

>>566635419
So that they dont give off their position, and so that their opponents whom they are shooting would not know where they were being shot from. Shoot tick nests, headshot bots - anything to be quiet.
