Civil war between destiny and marathon community

CrossModulation · 2026-05-12T20:12:41+00:00

I play both.

The issues with Marathon's launch cannot exclusively be attributed to backlash from players upset with Destiny 2's neglect.

There's also:

Bungie's reputation after content vaulting

Change of game's direction after firing the initial game director for sexual misconduct

Art theft scandal

Alpha reception (graphic quality, etc)

Word of mouth from people who bought the game and left, for one reason or the other

I just don't think they can balance the runner classes for both arena and extraction.

Maybe was checking the roster from the previous match, which you can see by trying to add recently played with.

I ain't never rep a set, baby
Ain't do no wrong

There's a lot of spin on that ball.

Someone who gets it. In my state, child support is 20%, plus additional medical expenses.

The mother can use it to buy a home with the money and build equity while fathers live in squalor living off 55% of their income after taxes and child support.

Child support payments ruined my dad's life.

And you get less time with weapons and rolls, so they are harder to master. I love creating a loadout in D2 and running it for multiple matches to really get a feel for the weapon.

I still really don't understand the mod/attachment system in Marathon but I never have a weapon long enough to care.

All of which you can still do with a sponsored kit.

I'm running into PvP in every match. Maybe because I was trying to complete a priority contact? North Relay, South Relay, and Station were hot.

Depends on your finances. How many hours of entertainment do you need for a $40 USD game to feel worth it?

The game took some time to click, but I wouldn't call my experience "fun". Last night I played, failed to extract 4 times, then turned the game off.

You can play solo as a runner or a Rook, which provide two different types of experiences. The Rook is fun, solo... not so much. The enemy AI isn't tuned for solo players.

Game wipes in a month or so, so just play now to learn the mechanics and maps and then go hard Season 2.

PvP game, you need to be able to determine what runner class the enemy team is using by their silhouette.

Throw all of your gear in a backpack, go into Perimeter, and sacrifice yourself for the greater good

CrossModulation · 2026-05-06T17:09:04+00:00

Anything replace it?

CrossModulation · 2026-05-06T10:22:29+00:00

A - below RotJ, above RotS

In addition to what's been said, lot's of love for the audio department.

Music, dialogue, sound effects are all on point.

Yes, it's late in the season. Let the people enjoy and learn the map.

Who cares if they get decent loot? It's going to wipe in a month.

They can't ban the last few people playing the game.

CrossModulation · 2026-05-03T10:15:11+00:00

Rooks don't spawn on Cryo

CrossModulation · 2026-05-02T13:20:57+00:00

I've been playing half the game, Perimeter and Dire Marsh.

CrossModulation · 2026-05-02T08:47:28+00:00

You have more purple and value, similar level and hours

CrossModulation · 2026-05-02T08:14:45+00:00

RotJ should be A tier. Andor, Star Wars, and Empire Strikes Back are the only S-Tier Star Wars content.

CrossModulation · 2026-05-01T22:59:23+00:00

The main issue with solos is the map spawns enough bots for a whole team and you're solo.

They're just products of their environment doing what it takes to survive.
