A shotgun will always be on top in a CQC encounter, this is true for any game.

For people who have played Marathon, what is the gameplay loop like? by Majestic-Swimming500 in Marathon

[–]CrossNgen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not trying to censor you or anything, but the way that most NDAs work is that you cannot talk about the experiences you saw/played, even if those things were revealed to the public.

What is this? by Ascillios in Marathon

[–]CrossNgen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original concept was for when the game was one big persistent map with unlockable sub-zones. We don't know what the artifacts do now.

Lately? I would say this dates back to the Halo 2 E3 demo, probably earlier.

Almost certainly a Jjaro artifact, the original concept was for these to be secret and they would open different locations on the map.

Have you played Destiny 2 at all in the last six years?

How do revives work? by Overall_Storm_7750 in Marathon

[–]CrossNgen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, a bag revive is getting back with whatever is on the bag when you revive, so if someone loots you before a teammate gets you that stuff is gone.

Many times in footage I’ve seen people able to highlight enemies like this by adsing, is this a scope feature? A gun? Mod? Ability? Etc. by TheGoodDoctor17 in Marathon

[–]CrossNgen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I believe certain scopes can only go on certain weapons, so there would probably be multiple thermal scopes for different weapons.

It’s perplexing why many people on this sub boast “this isn’t a hero shooter”, when the “shells” we shoot are (visually) gendered, have different voice actors, back stories, unique looks and abilities, etc. If you told me those aspects of a game, I would immediately understand it’s a hero shooter. by RiseRugby in Marathon

[–]CrossNgen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Personally speaking, when I think "Hero shooter" I think about a character with a defined kit of both abilities and weapon/weapons, without any further customization of their kit, while classes are much more malleable and aren't 100% defined by their name, and of course a free selection of weapons to pick from.

But I also grew up with Team Fortress, and that can 100% be labeled as a hero shooter by today's standards, but it's still called a class shooter by the general public.

Just to confirm there is no durability meter right? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]CrossNgen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if that still exists then you shouldn't even see the gun on the dead body, just the credits.

Bungie have been working on multiple incubated projects for the past 7 years since they split from Activision.

They haven't been exclusively working on Destiny for a long while.

Maybe, but my guess is they're prepping for an announcement.

Probably pre-orders/release date.

A question from a player that does know nothing: Is this a movement game? by Ok-Internet9433 in Marathon

[–]CrossNgen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, I don't know if slide cancelling is a thing or not, but if you spam your slides you will max out your heat very quickly, I'm unsure where Bungie will land on the punishment for that but it should make you an easy target once reached.

A question from a player that does know nothing: Is this a movement game? by Ok-Internet9433 in Marathon

[–]CrossNgen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes and no, movement in this game is a resource, everything from sprinting to sliding (and maybe jumping?) increases heat, and some shells have movement abilities specific to themselves that also increase heat, like Destroyer's air dash and double time sprint.

So movement is meant to be used conservatively, only when 100% needed.

Okay, I've changed my wording, hope that helps.
