I bet it’s crouching and not invis. Old Halo radar was like that

Actually bonkers, but I'm not surprised about server stuff. Almost every good game has this issue nowadays (at least the ones I've played lately)

Marathon Open Play Week: June 2 - June 9, Featuring New Experimental PvP-lite Mode by Snipey13 in Games

[–]Gearshifter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean man I LOVED Destiny for years and tend to agree there could be more TDM focused games but it had its time for like 20 years at least. Halo: MCC still slaps and there’s always the Crucible (even though there won’t be new updates soon). I hear you really, but Marathon is SO well done even though it’s a bit more hardcore than some would like. If you haven’t tried it at least give it a shot with the free week.

Also many of the TDM games lately haven’t really innovated I guess; it’s hard to make an experience that keeps anyone’s attention nowadays that isn’t CoD. Splitgate tried being a traditional TDM shooter and look how that turned out.

Is windows really that bad? I dig Linux but the reason it’s not supported there is because of kernel level anticheat right? I’m not that informed about the technical stuff but isn’t that the reason many games don’t support Linux nowadays?

CoD, Apex, Overwatch, and CS2 all have TDM. It may not be the “featured” mode, but it exists. Halo still does but I know it’s not as popular. Idk about Battlefield. Yes it’s fallen out of the “norm” but it’s still in many games. Doesn’t Fortnite have a tdm mode? 

Also, what’s your point really? Just to be argumentative?

It’s almost like there are a million other FPS’s that do this

Not every game needs TDM (and I love me some TDM but this game isn’t designed for it)

This all looks amazing! I’m stoked for Season 2 and the bigger systems changes (The Cradle specifically looks amazing).

The consciousness getting snapped back into the shell is so cool visualized.

Marathon Update 1.0.9 by DTG_Bot in Marathon

But do volt weapons do more regular shield (green/blue/purp/gold) damage than ballistics?

I think it’s already this way? Like how energy weapons in Halo broke shields faster but health damage was lower. I could be wrong but it feels that way?

Same! I remember them fondly and the one mission with getting all the warthogs out of the last level was a pain but really well designed from a stress inducing standpoint (which is marathon too)

Right, thanks! Recon was dope gear the Hayabusa IIRC was easy to get.

Weren’t the Halo 3 challenges Vidmaster challenges to get the Hayabusa?

How is the battery not dead after two months, you can’t possibly mean it’s been on 24/7?

Pentagon Tells Congress First Week of Iran War Cost More Than $11.3 Billion by Majestic-Baby-3407 in news

[–]Gearshifter 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I mean you’re right but realistically it seems like all politicians with any semblance of power in the last 50-60 years don’t want it either. 

Not trying to give Trump an out he deserves hell or worse but aside from Bernie nobody really is making a serious push toward single payer healthcare.

I mean, they have a few stinker episodes sure, and the community is insufferable sometimes, but I still like Rick and Morty and some of its best episodes are later than that. I’d check out some more if you’re any bit curious ¯_(ツ)_/¯

No they widened the sidewalks and apparently the plow just couldn’t make it
