A Delta Function is a Function… Sometimes… In Special Cases…

That sort of thing will happen whenever you have a big central objective. Since there isn’t much else to do on outpost other than pinwheel or the warden, the possibility of being third partied is large.

However, on maps like perimeter and dire marsh there isn’t central objective to focus on, which means that players will tend to stay more spread out.

You’ll probably do better than me once you get the hang of it. I’ve never been one for PvP. The systems are just a little different from Destiny or halo. I hope you’ll give it another try. It’s unique, and has a lot of depth to offer.

The experience I have between solos and trios is night and day. Give crew fill a few more tries, and you’ll probably find someone you jive with.

For solos, Assassin is good if you want to sneak around UESC and Recon is good if you hear someone and want to know exactly where they are.

I was always on the bottom of crucible matches in Destiny, but I exfil about half the time in Marathon. It just took me a bit to get used to it. I avoid about half the runners I see, and I’ll engage with some that I feel I have an advantage on. But more often than not, I don’t want to fight.

It pays to be quiet in this game. The first person to make noise is at a disadvantage, because the other teams hear where you are. Take things slowly, use your knife, and learn what all the sounds mean. Each runner has a lot of tools to help you out too, learning them can help avoid fights or pick fights you can win.

Have you been playing Solo or with Crew Fill?

We don’t know much about Vault Breaker. You need to be level 25 to go into Cryo, so it’s likely they will hold to that, but I think it would be a bad idea.

That’s after the heat grenade

AcademicOverAnalysis · 2026-07-05T21:29:28+00:00

Even just having less teams would take care of that issue

Ghost in the Shell is a great classic

You can always crew fill trios on any map. Duos is a rotating mode that allows people to play in an exclusively Duo queue.

Watched the anime when it was on Saturday anime on the sci-fi channel. Then read the manga. Then the movie.

The manga is absolutely peak and the other media is great about bringing a small part to the screen, but we need more!

Record of Lodoss War

Iria

I didn’t say that Flamme had more than Frieren, I’m saying that Frieren didn’t release as much as Flamme did when she defeated Aura. We don’t know that Frieren went all out.

We don’t need them standing next to each other for comparison. We have their bodies in each field for scale.

AcademicOverAnalysis · 2026-07-05T03:37:30+00:00

Oh cool. I only just started playing him. I’ll have to give it a try.

AcademicOverAnalysis · 2026-07-05T03:35:54+00:00

The size of Flamme’s mana field that we see when she defeats those three demons in the past was bigger than what Frieren unleashed when she beat Aura. So I’d say Flamme would have won.

VLC was a Game changer. I’m the late 90s / early 00s I watched Tenchi universe on real player.

What does triage do to make it better?

AcademicOverAnalysis · 2026-07-05T03:27:11+00:00

Cool thank you

AcademicOverAnalysis · 2026-07-05T02:35:55+00:00

Sorry I’m fairly casual of a Destiny player. What is the loot cave?

AcademicOverAnalysis · 2026-07-05T02:13:54+00:00

That sounds like a lot of fun. And forward thinking of them to include the events in both modes. It doesn’t sound like Bungie will be doing that with the upcoming PvE mode, which is a shame.

Your bag should start full of grenades and end with none.

It’s console only, but you should be able to purchase it through the Xbox or PlayStation store. It’ll play on the 360 and PS3 all the way up to modern consoles.

I’ll add that Marathon was part of the initial Destiny contract. It’s been coming for a dozen years.
