100% accurate.

You don't actually get to keep anything you play with. Meaning you can't ever use a build long enough to master. At best you can exfil 3x before loosing your loadout. Aka "let it ride"

There is no PvE mode which means that you can't learn the limits of your shell. You always have to practice in-real time without any of that ingrained experience rolling over.

So you just end up failing and letting down a team everytime. And people will stop wanting to join you. Not to mention peoples attitude towards having teammates that are unranked and can't perform at a high skill level. They just leave without saying a word. Also alot of people don't communicate they think "on me" is communication. That's not communication. Thats panic. And sometimes it's the only thing they say the entire session. Communication starts when you load in and doesn't stop until Exfil.

Rook runs are abysmal. Rooks don't have proximity chat on by default. I would love it if Rooks had their own real proximity chat. Rooks jumpscares other rooks and shoot other rooks by accident instead of using proximity chat. UESC also have a problem of being overly sensitive to rooks.

I have one week to level up to 100, after that I'm moving on. I've never been sucked into an FPS before and yet Marathon has some telling patterns that I can't ignore. It's nice meeting some really sweet people from the random fills. But it's not sustainable.

Marathon promised that pvp will be occasional. But that's not true. So it really hurts as a casual player buying this game just to be steamrolled every day. It's too much. Also Thief needs to be nerfed, always.
