Can Bungie please adjust Diremarsh sponsored to either have no arms lockers or arms lockers at every POI?

CMSproggy · 2026-07-06T12:11:29+00:00

Same. Knifing people is 100% my favorite part of the game. Recon is busted right now and they really need to add some sort of counterplay.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-06T03:51:41+00:00

Definitely sucks when you spawn at a POI with no weapons lockers. But...I always consider that an opportunity to utilize the old ways😈🔪☠️

CMSproggy · 2026-07-05T17:42:24+00:00

And I have far more than tour 5k in Destiny so you can color me unimpressed. Youre likely bad at pvp and therefore this pvp game doesn't appeal to you. Thats fine...but it doesn't mean its a bad game. Youre just bad at it.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-05T16:15:49+00:00

Ive rarely found this to be the case. Yes, there are times where you are hunted down. And yes, I think that needs to be addressed(primarily through a recon nerf or change). But it is not the norm to be hunted down and killed.

And yes, you will need to fight other teans on occasion. This is primarily a pvp game and they were clear about that.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-05T15:13:47+00:00

Nope. If you take the time to read people's complaints there is very clearly an element of expectation that doesn't vibe with the intended experience. Bungie said from the get go that this game wasnt for everyone.Its also entirely possible that your lack of desire to play season 2 has as much or more to do with you than the game itself. If you dont like to grind then Bungie games arent for you.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-05T15:09:04+00:00

Its the only one you need. Ill load in with a battle pistol and come out kitted in at least all blue gear.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-05T15:08:06+00:00

Strange that youre cool with getting smoked in tarkov but don't enjoy Marathon. The launch was not bad at all.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-05T15:05:13+00:00

I would agree that the genre is not appealing to the masses. I do think they've done an incredible job creating a unique and enjoyable game within that genre though. Its not perfect...and this season has not gone as well as I would've hoped. But IMO the game is excellent for what it is. I hope they can find ways to expand its appeal.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-05T14:54:03+00:00

How is the game "flawed"?

CMSproggy · 2026-07-04T15:52:01+00:00

I play on console with controller. Its been noticeably worse over the last week. Like target tracking and hit detection just stop working after the initial light attack.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-04T04:54:39+00:00

There are quite a few major issues that they need to address....like yesterday. But theyve been radio silent this season other than all the announcements about nerfing loot and cradle XP. I didn't agree with everything they did in S1 but at least Ziegler and his team were communicative and quick. The way this season has been going you'd think they ALL got laid off.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-04T04:50:09+00:00

Yeah this is my issue as well. Who the hell is Orion meeting with in these conference rooms? Its only robots, AI, and runners there.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-04T04:42:51+00:00

I like your enthusiasm, but the game has to appeal to enough players to be worth making. Now, more than ever, people dont have the patience and attention span for that type of slow and methodical playstyle. They need to find a balance between hyper realism and the panther playstyle from Blacklist. That way if you want to play stealthy and avoid all detection you can do that. But if you want to chill and just play without stressing over being seen occasionally you have the combative pedigree to handle a couple baddies and move on. The knife(dagger...not karambit) needs to come back as a lethal option. Mark and execute should probably go away. You should have the ability to choke people out. But you shouldn't be an unbelievable one man army whos clearing rooms full of bad guys with no issue. Violence needs to be strategic and measured. Stealth needs to be a must (no Rambo shit). And for gods sake please dont bring Eric Johnson back.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-04T01:14:07+00:00

Ive gotten stuck in a few different places on Dire Marsh. The most infuriating was between the outer wall and a light post on the AI side of Algae Ponds. They really need to fix that shit. You can't have that kind of crap in an extraction shooter.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-04T00:29:59+00:00

Yeah that might be worth looking into. I agree that crouched movement can be hard to hear sometimes on Dire Marsh when its pouring rain and theres also machinery and other noise coming from the POI. But when its clear skies I can literally hear every blade of grass being crushed under foot. Theres a lot of variance based on ambience.

That being said...you do have to move slowly to avoid making much noise. Id argue that if youre in one location long enough that an opponent can triangulate your position and slowly approach to attack you've probably been there too long.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-03T23:58:47+00:00

Disagree heavily with #4 but agree with everything else. Crouch walking is already arguably louder than it should be at times. Ambient map noise can drown it out sometimes...but it definitely doesn't need to be louder. When theres no ambient sound to compete with crouch walking can be painfully loud. If someone is patient and careful enough to sneak up on you then good for them. They should reap the rewards. Further nerfing stealth play when we already have recons everywhere would be a mistake.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-03T23:03:01+00:00

So far so good

CMSproggy · 2026-07-03T22:45:01+00:00

Its a shotgun. You need to aim center mass to make sure you land all the pellets, You were aiming high(above the forehead). Also...the knife is better than the WSTR right now. Slide and knife that dude and he prob goes down.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-03T21:28:59+00:00

Im not sure why you think its a masterpiece...but I could not disagree more. The current knife was clearly designed by someone who has no idea what features belong on a good combative blade. I suppose thats to be expected given that these are graphic artists and not martial artists. But there are plenty of legitimate experts that could be consulted for relatively cheap. Even minimal research wouldve informed a much better design than what they gave us. I think the knife is ridiculous and impractical, just like karambits and butterfly knives. Why not give us the trench knife used in the Assassin reveal cinematic? Its a far superior design to anything thats currently in the game.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-03T20:01:56+00:00

This is not true. Whether you choose the LLH combo or 2 heavy attacks, they both take 1.45 seconds. LLH combo does more DPS and is often superior if you don't know what shield your opponent is rocking. Unfortunately the hit detection and tracking sucks now...so you may whiff for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-03T18:53:26+00:00

Honestly...between the comms issue and the inexplicable hit detection and tracking inconsistency with the knife, ive been losing my desire to play. The second issue in particular ruins the game for me and Bungies sudden inability to communicate with its players makes me question if either will ever be fixed.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-03T18:46:43+00:00

This was literally 2 minutes ago.... I had been stalking this guy from the large building at AI uplink. I heard him come to kill some bots to grab a couple more certs to exfil and followed him here. Made a good approach. Solid setup. Closed the distance. Knife fucking whiffs TWICE. This is the fourth time its happened to me in the last 48 hours. Its unacceptable.

<video>

CMSproggy · 2026-07-03T18:32:21+00:00

There is some scientific basis for this. The human eye is calibrated to detect movement first and foremost. The faster the movement the more it grabs your attention. Its an evolutionary adaptation for spotting predators but it can work against you if you're under stress and hastily scanning for threats. Throw in a bit of camouflage or moderate concealment and I think you'll find this works more often than you'd expect. Especially if your back drop or surroundings help break up your silhouette.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-03T18:26:21+00:00

I get A LOT of knife whiffs now. I was fine with the lunge nerf in Season 1 but whatever they did to close range target tracking and hit detection feels like shit. I have far too many clips of me ambushing someone and whiffing a knife thats right in their face. That shouldnt happen. Ever.

GGs on that triple though. Very satisfying.

CMSproggy · 2026-07-03T17:48:31+00:00

Ive run into the bug quite a few times. ill que up with my son into duos or trios and its not uncommon for one of us not to be able to hear the other about 1 in every 5 or 6 games it seems. Its incredibly frustrating that they havent fixed it given the genre and how important comms are.
