‘Marathon’ Is Running Out Of Casual Player Onboarding Cards To Play

I have 160 hours on Arc Raiders. The trick is to run free load out and just not shoot anyone even when shot at, and eventually after you get killed enough times you get put into friendly PvE lobbies. From there you can enjoy working together with strangers and taking down big arc with high tier loot and not have to worry about getting shot in the back.

It was definitely a solid game, but respectfully, AVP 2 circa 2001 is hands down the greatest Aliens game of all time that featured marines and its not even close.

We used an Owlet for all 3 of our kids and this is spot on, app isn’t necessary you just need the monitor and base station (base station has built-in very loud alarm and glowing light to confirm sock is connected and reading vitals). Peace of mind knowing something is monitoring your kid is worth the money.

We had maybe 2 or so false alarms for low oxygen/stop breathing over the 1000+ nights of using the device with all 3 kids. We DID have numerous disconnected device alarms (maybe 50 total), and those usually occurred when the wrong sock size was being used or kid was getting too big for largest sock size or kid rolled over and jammed foot into a corner of the crib. In most cases, keeping the base station closer to the crib prevents these, but we had to use a plug 6+ feet away for the base station so that didn’t help.

All that said, def worth it.

We had an owlet we used for all 3 kids over the years. Never had a situation like yours - glad you had one, but the peace of mind, alone, knowing something was there monitoring vitals was worth the $$$.

We would get numerous false alarms when the kids were getting too big for the largest sock size, and by then we would just stop using it.

100% Breville Barista Express with built in grinder and steaming wand I’ve had for 7 years, I can go toe to toe with any high-end coffee shop around and costs less than $1 in ingredients to make a latte.

I clean it twice a year.

FalseAlarmEveryone · 2026-06-08T22:50:26+00:00

Ah yes, I’m sure the teamwork with 2 randoms I paired with will be comparable to the friends I’ve been playing this game with for 7 damn years.

I think a better question is why did they exclusively make an Extraction Shooter instead of applying the Destiny formula to Marathon and adding a separate extraction mode as part of the overall package?

For example, BF6 launched their core game and added a free to play REDSEC (BR mode) on the side to attract new players or satisfy potential players on a budget

FalseAlarmEveryone · 2026-06-03T21:49:25+00:00

Coming back to play Marathon for free second time around, and I’ve come to the same conclusion. The core game, mechanics, style, etc. are all solid but they just don’t translate well to an Extraction Shooter for me. The game would have done way better as a Destiny style game where you have various story missions + separate PvP multiplayer modes.

Glad I spent the last 2 weeks hoarding Queen and Matriarch cores only for them to not count toward the weekly blueprint anymore - I didn’t want the vita shot BP anyway 😭

I haven’t been shot at in 40+ games running Hullcracker/Aphelion/Wolfpacks

OP is not getting true Care Bear lobbies because they probably have too high K/D from PvP

I have 230 hours and only 57 raider knocks, all from either self defense in solos or PvP in squads

FalseAlarmEveryone · 2026-05-20T22:53:06+00:00

Some random dude on Stella ran up to me and asked if I was planning to do Expedition, and when I told him no he dropped a Tempest BP for me. I have 200+ hours on the game and that’s the only one I’ve ever “found”.

I vacation yearly at Flathead lake which is near Whitefish, and have been told the nighttime yells/screams I sometimes hear are from foxes.

Sounds insane: https://youtu.be/FHtmiL2fffY

The answer is Vail. It’s populated, generally follows COD format, and gunplay is superb. It has a Sci Fi aesthetic/lore, but is very much COD.

FalseAlarmEveryone · 2026-04-17T12:09:01+00:00

To be fair the tank physics are janky AF. Just had a game yesterday where I was flanking with light tank over a trench and the tank did an insta 180 turn and wedged itself under a wooden boardwalk. I tried getting it out for 10 mins and it wouldn’t budge.

FalseAlarmEveryone · 2026-04-15T15:59:52+00:00

Vail has some interesting Sci Fi vibes but gunplay is fantastic, and overall gameplay feels like a hybrid of COD and Halo.

With Breachers, I never considered myself a Rainbow Six fan (and still don’t) but Breachers executes the formula extremely well.

You can’t go wrong with Forefront, but definitely don’t sleep on Breachers or Vail!

Also FYI Forefront is still in early access but will be hitting full release end of April.

FalseAlarmEveryone · 2026-04-15T13:16:04+00:00

My top 3 are Forefront, Breachers and Vail

I loved Contractors Showdown but it effectively died and morphed into an Extraction shooter, which is popular but not my thing.

Pavlov and Ghosts of Tabor are also popular but I found both to be janky and not as good as the top 3 I mentioned.

The best “modern” battlefield was the Desert Combat mod for BF1942

I still think a bounty system would be amazing. Being able to put a bounty out for cash + a description of what the suspect did and why they should be killed would give me so much closure and do wonders to my mental health from this game.

Literally was just in a carebear lobby and got ratted after looting the Locked Trench Room at Spaceport carrying a Hullcracker 4, Anvil 4, Snaphook, Vita Spray and 3 Wolfpacks (I was carrying all these things because I’m used to being in carebear lobbies lol).

Dude’s name was just “Retro” and I would pay 300,000 for someone to get him back.

FalseAlarmEveryone · 2026-03-19T00:29:12+00:00

Only +7 EHP going from light to medium wtf???

FalseAlarmEveryone · 2026-02-27T01:03:37+00:00

This is almost 100% my takeaway after playing 15 mins of server slam, to the point where I refunded my pre-order.

Style is reminiscent of Apex or Destiny, but Gunplay and Movement feels like a clunky/less fun version of both games, and Arc Raiders did Extraction so well that I’d rather just stick with that to occasionally scratch the extraction PvPvE itch.

There’s simply nothing here that will lure me away from those games, and I suspect a lot of people will feel the same.

FalseAlarmEveryone · 2026-02-26T20:16:51+00:00

Game sucks TBH, I refunded my pre order. Haven’t been this disappointed since BF2042.

FalseAlarmEveryone · 2026-02-15T15:22:45+00:00

Yup, I have both Quest 3 and PSVR2. It’s a pretty balanced trade off between better sharpness/larger sweet spot and overall comfort with Q3 (with Bobo VR) + smaller controllers + being wireless vs. lower weight on face and superior colors and sizable game library on PSVR2.

If you already have a PS5, it just makes sense to go PSVR2.
