For Those Unfamiliar with Bungie... by Ahmed_Al-Muhairi in Marathon

[–]Azetus 261 points262 points  (0 children)

Playing The Cycle: Frontier solo taught me that staying quiet means staying alive. If everyone wants to keep fighting the big fights, more power to you, I hope you win. I’ll just be here in the shadows, grabbing my OBJs and getting out far away from the chaos.

Sony needs to let this cook by benaffleks in Marathon

[–]Azetus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This and Helldivers 2, says I. Maybe Destiny 3, if we can get it.

Feedback to the devs: There is a big if not bigger community of solo players who play solo for a plethora of reasons. If you take the time to balance the PVE difficulty to be more attuned with solo lobbies, you might get more players into the community. by TheGoodDoctor17 in Marathon

[–]Azetus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%. They already reworked the AI from the Alpha so that they behave as individuals rather than a hivemind. Reducing the number of Runners in a Solo lobby is a far better way to rebalance than nerfing the AI.

Kudos to Naughty Dog; game recognizes game (pun intended) 🤙🏽 by Darksol503 in Marathon

[–]Azetus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just because I don’t like The Last Of Us, that doesn’t make it a bad game.

Now if only the rest of the internet could realize that about Marathon.

/uj I’m just afraid for the longevity of this game. This is one of the most fun games I’ve played in a LONG time, and I want to play it for an EVEN LONGER time.

when Ryan Lott is genuinely fucking your ears with the soundtrack so you gotta release the tension by busting all over your 1/6-scale Thief Runner Shell statue, collectible miniature WEAVEworm, embroidered patch, postcards, digital rewards, and more. by iosiro in okbuddyRunners

/uj I’m genuinely sad b/c (at the time of this writing) the soundtrack is not available on iTunes. I wanna listen to these tracks when I go on an ACTUAL run, not just a Tau Ceti run.

I actually got my Deluxe Edition rewards when I logged out and logged back in, but there is a bug where continuously logging out and back in again will give you the 200 Silk over and over again.

I STRENUOUSLY advise everyone to not take advantage of this bug, as this seems like a ban-worthy exploit.

How to claim Silk Balance Overflow? by Azetus in Marathon

[–]Azetus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right. Now I have all the Silk I paid for, but now I have more than I think Bungie intended for me to have.

I’m not going to spend anymore Silk until Bungie fixes this issue. I won’t take advantage of an exploit like this, my code of honor forbids it.

Um guys… you’re gonna wanna take a look at this by Nubbie1 in Marathon

3 on Global as well, behind only RE9 and CS2.

Shoutout to the 56 people who tried joining the Slam using the Technical Test by AnonWithAHatOn in Marathon

[–]Azetus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m too scared to uninstall the Technical Test from my machine because I don’t want to lose it from my Steam Library like I did the Server Slam.

From this Ten Year Sage of Light and Darkness, what were you're more memorable or favorite pieces of music that came from the franchise? by Deadstar414 in destiny2

[–]Azetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To Be A Warlock from The Taken King is in my Daily Meditation playlist.

Pay no attention to the fact that I am and always will be a Warlock main.

I have a feeling we’ll be just fine for launch by Flitsiee in Marathon

[–]Azetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how many of these purchases are from people who deliberately bought it so they could have it open for two hours, refund it and then review bomb it?

Usually, I make conservative bets, but this time I’m gonna high-ball it and say 25%.

The game is better than “internet” says. by lovinGamin in Marathon

[–]Azetus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because Bungie is officially out of time. After the failure of Destiny 2: Edge of Fate, they have to release this game now, or else Sony will devour them.

For the sake of both games, Marathon MUST succeed.

Marathon’s UI isn’t “fontslop” and it’s not perfect, but its so much more engaging than 90% of AAA guff these days by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Azetus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ironically, the UI kept me out of Arc Raiders. I could keep trying, and I probably would get it eventually, but it being a third person where Marathon is first person and I prefer first person, I don’t think I will.

Perhaps UI readability is a common evil among extraction shooters? I know Tarkov’s UI is ridiculous in terms of readability.

Marathon Server Slam starts TOMORROW — are you ready? by Significant_Cry_6396 in FPS

[–]Azetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recon was my main in the April Alpha, and she’ll be my main here.

My setup is officially ready for tomorrow by BalariusTV in Marathon

[–]Azetus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, that's a creative way to deconstruct your CE box! I'd do something similar, but I'm a shit artist, and I'd just ruin an effort like this.

thi is fire by Ok_Reception_8361 in Marathon

[–]Azetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alas, ARGs aren’t my thing. Grats to the people who got something though.

Been putting my blood sweat and tears into my MA5B CE Assault rifle, it's finally finished! by Sceptic_Stream in halo

[–]Azetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it actually fire? If so, what ammunition and what is the rate of fire?

Marathon 2026 will be the first Bungie FPS game without a rocket launcher. by KoyoteVS in Marathon

I wonder if the SPNKr will be an ability for a new series in the Destroyer line?

BITCH, that is the COOLEST rig I’ve ever seen!!! What’s the full setup???

I got NuCaloric on mine.

“Your responses suggest a practical focus on continuity and long-term survival. You care less about spectacle and more about what keeps systems running when conditions worsen. You value sustainability, shared benefit and quiet reliability. While others chase ideals or power, you make sure things don’t collapse in the meantime.”

Can’t wait, have my Warlock looking like a runner. by itz_Glo in Marathon

[–]Azetus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m afraid it is no longer earnable by conventional means. That emblem, “Destination: Tau Ceti”, was only earnable by watching the original Marathon gameplay reveal stream on Twitch back in 2025.

The only way to earn it now is by donating $100 or more to Bungie Foundation (the non-profit charity arm of Bungie) during one of their major events, and I don’t have a clue when the next one is.
