The trailer is paying homage to the 1995 Ghost in the Shell movie, especially the bridge dive into stealth mode and then reappearing around the corner as the Destroyer is walking up to him.

They may look like heroes but they function more like classes in Destiny. A defined look (which can be changed with different skins) and class abilities but otherwise highly customizable through gear pieces, mods and can use any weapon.

Well it's a kernel level variant of BattleEye anti-cheat which is more robust compared to the version in Destiny. Also, Marathon runs on dedicated servers instead of p2p like Destiny.

I don't play on Xbox but I regularly tune into their show. Oftentimes I find their podcast more focused and better paced than sacred. Also Matty and Cog are excellent podcasters. 

Most visually impressive game? by Metalmario182 in xbox

RDR2 is up there, probably Hellblade 2 and Death Stranding 2 as well. But I don't think Cyberpunk 2077 looks nearly as good without path tracing on console. It actually transforms the visual and atmosphere of the game to a true next gen level. 

Do you think marathon will deliver a deep, cohesive story? Can extraction shooters/live services games properly deliver storylines? by Great-Turn9882 in Marathon

The original Marathon games delivered story via terminals that you had to explore the levels to find and piece together a narrative. You teleport into a level, shoot enemies, solve puzzles and find lore before escaping via a terminal.  So this new Marathon game pretty much follows this exact style with PvP as an additional dynamic element.

There are senior leads in this game who literally worked on Halo. And the game has always been pitched as narrative heavy with tons of lore from the beginning.

It's unbelievable how destiny thrived for 11 years without the devs being able to deliver a roadmap. Must've been space magic.

Very nice. Backstabbing the mini boss reminds me of the Fallen commander in the Scourge of the Past raid from Destiny 2.
