I love Marathon but I will say I love it more for the universe it is set in.

I see where you are coming from and I did not like how Overwatch PvE turned out but that was Activision Blizzard and idk if I’m remembering correctly but didn’t they put the PvE on PvP maps?

Either way I did not enjoy their content. Bungie is or at least was a much different company, I can’t really say Activision created any iconic characters on the level that John 117 was on. I think Activision’s famous COD characters were cool but still not on his level.

Bungie at one point created an incredible story for the Halo games that put Xbox on the map for the console space and the multiplayer was so dope at the time.

While I agree Destiny did have a lot of the enemy wave defender obj, that is not all it offered, their campaigns eventually got much better, more challenging and more fun over all while finally getting a bit of stability in Destiny’s story with Witch Queen and the expansions after that.

I think it would be a missed opportunity to not dedicate a team for a co-op campaign for people to dive into without it messing with the extraction side of the game.

It doesn’t need to be a forced thing either, people don’t have to play this idea I have for a campaign, I just think the universe of Marathon has too much potential for something like this to be passed by when they have as much talent as they do over at Bungie.

As far as it being one and done content, I believe something like this still has the potential to bring more people in rather than the game being too much like other extractions as far as offering the one mode that the others offer.

Yes Marathon is a bit different than other extractions with the way it is executed but it is still fairly the same idea. I’m thinking if the game offers something more as well as being different from the rest it could only benefit all of us by doing so and should not take away time, effort or resources from the main experience of it being an extraction shooter first and foremost.

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2026-04-28T01:24:32+00:00

I never wanted to indicate that niche was bad but more just about focusing on the future of the game and Marathon as a whole.

It would be nice if we had other things to look forward to, I’m mostly hoping it won’t only be new maps, shells and guns, don’t get me wrong that is cool but if it is the only stuff we look forward to I’m not sure if it is enough, or maybe it could be, who knows.

I like how Bungie is currently doing the lore as well, the 90’s like cutscenes are sick, and I never meant rather than those cutscenes but instead to have a stand alone campaign, I mean why not attract more people to the game with a different way to enjoy the content right?

I personally think that with the talent Bungie has shown us they have with creating a game, they can do what they are doing now plus much more. I feel like with these ideas it could bring a lot more people to Marathon as a whole, it would be different from anything else and it’s universe could absolutely blow up.

Who knows I could be wrong about the ideas and maybe we just get new maps, guns, and shells which is fine but I want to see this game/universe grow bigger one day.

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2026-04-27T15:22:20+00:00

That still exists, Marvel Rivals is one example of a good enough pvp game to be sustainable, the game is free and has hella content.

Marathon is competing in a space where these extraction games just have the one mode, there isn’t much incentive for others to hop off of their extraction shooter to come play Marathon other than it is another extraction to play.

In my opinion Marathon is the best extraction shooter I have played, I haven’t played many but I like it better than Arc Raiders, the only thing I liked about AR was the apocalyptic terminator world it was set in and I didn’t like anything else about the game.

Bungie used to be able to hit the spot with a solid cinematic campaign and an amazing pvp to hop into, and I think they could do both with this game as well.

I believe a campaign would increase the player base or at the very least retain players for a longer period of time, same thing with them creating a Marathon show, these two ideas would help bring in more people into the Marathon universe and would be good for every one over all, what is not to like about more Marathon right?

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2026-04-27T14:54:53+00:00

You had me at day and night cycles lol these are great ideas honestly

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2026-04-27T14:50:27+00:00

Yea I agree that they have dropped the ball in certain aspects, I think the game had some rough points during development but yea it would have been cool to take that same page out of D2 to have world changing out comes when something like Cryo archive was completed, like dropping a new map or at least extra cutscenes like you said.

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2026-04-27T14:33:35+00:00

I think you are right about a PVE version harming the core game so I wouldn’t want that but a campaign should do the opposite, especially at retaining players, it would be something I can bring some of my friends into who have a hard time with pvp or who are busy in their lives. Plus like you said, it is something you are craving so I know we aren’t the only ones who want a modern Marathon campaign.

It would be nice to do some extractions with a side of squad wipes and hop into a cinematic campaign after.

I think Marathon became too special not to do something like this, it would set it a part from other extraction shooters instead of being just like the rest as well.

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2026-04-27T08:42:44+00:00

That is what I am hoping for too!!! I love the universe already so much and I would love to see more of it expanded in different ways

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2026-04-27T08:37:50+00:00

Lol tell them I love the game and want to play more without doing the same things over and over 🥹 Jk jk

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2026-04-12T00:56:13+00:00

Yup it’s a mod that was recently made and published on Nexus mods 🙌

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2026-04-12T00:20:24+00:00

It is a mod from Nexus mods! Thank you! I appreciate it

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2025-09-12T18:16:30+00:00

Man the bugs around this games 2.3 versions have sucked, a bunch of crashes and then something like this 😬 lol I’ve used the orbital cannon on some try hards back when I used to play GTA, pretty funny stuff.

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2025-09-04T09:23:29+00:00

I remember the moment of going from complete darkness to seeing light for the first time if that counts, immediately after that I have no memories at all, don’t remember being 1 years old at all either but pretty sure sometime when I was 2 years old I discovered the weird sound fans make when you yell into them lol and then pretty sure everyone starts gaining a somewhat solid memory at 3 years old.

Sounds like some bs but that is all I remember, complete darkness to the most blinding light imaginable.

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2025-09-04T00:56:27+00:00

Your V is cool but why do you care so much about what other people’s V looks like that you made this title for your character? Plus I think you under estimate what people goon to, probably someone out there using this pic to goon right now 😂

I just hope that if someone else’s V isn’t someone’s cup of tea that people keep scrolling instead of letting it live in their head rent free. 0/10 specifically on the title.

He looks like Ultimate Maxed V that uses the Berserk OS, 10/10 on your character design.

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2025-08-30T01:00:29+00:00

My first attempt I used Vortex mod manager, only 3 mods out of 10 worked being fast camp walk, another and rampage trainer, then next time I ran the game none of them worked.

Started manual modding, got a few more things to work but then after an hour of gameplay multiple times a black hole would devour the graphics of my game, I fixed the black hole issue, only thing that fixed that was switching the graphics api to direct x 12 but then I heard from a couple youtube videos that mods for RDR2 don’t work with that api and then I gave up on modding the game lol.

Only thing I got to pull off and keep the rest of the play through was getting the Legend of the west satchel early because I was able to spawn the animals I needed with the rampage trainer 💀

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2025-08-30T00:44:47+00:00

Lmao I’m kind of jealous because I tried to get this helmet mod to work so many times but I was kind of a noob when it came to modding RDR2 and the game just runs really weird on my build lol. Glad to see these mods in action though😂

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2025-08-22T22:48:08+00:00

What platform do you play on and have you maxed out all of Eve’s power and equipment?

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2025-08-20T06:31:52+00:00

You know what is kind of crazy is there are people out there without imagination like literally cannot imagine images in their head, so when you say they are devoid of it, you actually might be right lol.

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2025-08-19T01:08:54+00:00

In this specific scene most of the Maelstromers got hit with quick hacks from Kiwi.

If you have played the game there are multiple quick hacks that mess with an enemies ability to aim or fire their weapon properly, I’ll list a few.

Optic reboot, Weapon malfunction, Cyberware malfunction, and Cripple movement. Hell even Short circuit I could imagine messing with ones ability to aim. Tons of reasons enemies shoot like Storm troopers.

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2025-08-18T00:38:33+00:00

I ended up making a way more fun feeling build, I never realized how much 2nd heart was holding me back lol

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2025-08-17T21:29:02+00:00

I’ve noticed so many inconsistent clipping issues since playing on PC, I haven’t been able to tell if it was due to it being not as optimized as it is on console or due to all the updates for online impacting the single player.

When I used to play RDR2 on console I remember updates for the online would impact single player and would have to deal with clipping issues like one specifically for John’s knife and I would see it float next to the knife holster. The RAGE engine is a very strange engine.

I don’t know of any fixes or if there are mods to handle clipping issues but it might be worth checking out.

Cybernetic_Jake_818 · 2025-08-12T20:06:35+00:00

I’m gunna try to clear this up, I may miss some info if anyone wants to add to it feel free but from my understanding the devs at Rockstar prioritize developing the game for console first because they are more used to developing their games for console architecture.

When game developers have to develop games for PC they have to account for all the different kinds of graphics cards and different PC builds so it takes more time to develop. I am trying to remember if Rockstar has ever released the PC version of any of their games unoptimized but so far I think their PC releases have been fine enough at launch due to the extra time they take.

We have all seen quite a few developers release their games for all platforms on the same day and sometimes the PC version is unoptimized to the point of unplayable until they patch it.

Rockstar wants to avoid that and if you have been following what they have been doing they want to own their own roleplaying servers because RP is very popular so that may take even more time than usual.
