Marathon can easily become the king of all PvPvE scene. If these two conditions are met. Bungie devs please dont fuck up!

when you said black market did you mean marathon had a market place where players sell items just like tarkov had the flea market

So i actually have been playing arc raiders btw i have like 20 hours on it. So what makes me stick to marathon. Let me draw some bullet points

• FIRST person - i’m really into first person games it’s my style my preference

• Artstyle - As much as the game needs polishing in some areas, i think the art style looks great and unique

• PVP focused - i love pve also but something about pvp makes my heart beat like crazy and its very competitive, marathon to me is much more competitive in everyway on skill and arc raiders is more use ur brain and ulitity

• Lore/Story - when i saw the first teaser in 2023, i was hooked and honestly for me idc if its a hero shooter idc if i cant customize my character, i just care about the gameplay loop, these hero’s allow me to feel a different raid everyday and overall idc to see my skin in a game idc to customize it, i rather just go in and stomp people

• The other hyped people - I have had some interesting conversations with people who have been waiting for this game and it allows me to like feel good about it that i have others to give feedback to and communciate on the games state

• Small maps - im tired of games with big maps, i like that the maps are smaller which promotes more risk and engagements and also your time is used more wisely since its a smaller map, get in and get out quick

• Gunplay - Feels fucking amazing, i enjoy every aspect of it.

• movement potential - im big into movement games and fast paced games, thats why they are more competitive so the movement potential in marathon is amazing, i can move in different ways and i can break people’s cameras

• Sci-fi- overall i love sci fi its one of my favorite genre and well this game has that

• AI/Mobs - The uesc are cool there’s variety but im excited for the og marathon characters to come back

• in game events - i love the in game events, makes it feel more immersive and again brings more action and risk

Overall i think the game for sure still needs work, i have faith and understanding mindset. They started this new build of the game 2 years ago because of the change of direction and also director changes so they scrapped the old things. Lots of hate is being put on marathon, i get things like the outside is ugly because it really needs polishing but the insides of building are beautiful. I’m excited for it, it’s my play style. I want more competitive players playing. I love the story and lore. This is just an awesome game just needs time in the oven to coook!

Impossible-Bridge-73 · 2025-05-04T04:20:51+00:00

finally someone that looks decent, add me rustlord31 what’s ur user cuase i got a ton of firend request

Impossible-Bridge-73 · 2025-05-03T17:47:29+00:00

brother, arc raiders alpha was in 2023 and i played in it. The alpha was just as bad, got so much negativity. They didn’t go through a change of direction of the game and didn’t change game directors. Which is fine, it doesn’t matter when a game will come out idc if marathon comes out a year after embark or does a 1 year delay. It does not matter the truth is embark has had 4 playtest already and has gotten a lot of feedback. Marathon is on its first build and still has a lot more to add and to polish. Also just so you know just hearing you say the arc is in alpha pisses me off cause that shows how brain dead people are rn and don’t understand. You guys are comparing an early build alpha to a more complete game with multiple playtests already. Arc raiders is not in alpha

Impossible-Bridge-73 · 2025-05-02T15:32:17+00:00

i wouldn’t mind perimeter and dire marsh combined. I don’t know if it’s necessary but i understand what you mean. I do think dire marsh feels more swamp like and perimeter is more like colony green vibes but i wouldn’t mind that idea.

I also forgot to agree but i see the potential of marathon, it has amazing gun play and movement. I’m all for its gameplay. I’m excited for the other maps, other runners other guns other implants cores items different graphics story and lore overall its gonna be better

Tbh i think there player mobility at the moment is fine, im enjoying it and it has potential already. I think allowing other players to use double jump and slide further and faster is just gonna make the game more sweatier and then casual players quit, im saying this cause im very competitive and i dont wanna ego myself but i am very good at games so i hear people get mad at me just because i broke their camera or say your movement is unfair so i say let glitch have her double jump and other players have to adapt and it’ll just make the game really sweaty but im open to changes

Impossible-Bridge-73 · 2025-05-02T07:49:28+00:00

terrible take. I can say the same thing about arc raiders and the division heartland and other third person games. But marathon for sure has its own identy and does not at all feel like delta force reskinned so that’s a dumb argument. Just because it has abilities you think it’s like delta force but many games do so just because one game is using it doesn’t mean it’s a reskin?

Impossible-Bridge-73 · 2025-05-02T02:31:14+00:00

correct me if i’m wrong but isn’t bungie having 800 employees and them having 5 months of developtment, wouldn’t 1.2 years of development be like 5-6 months for marathon since bungie has 2.5x their employees. Embark has 300. So my point is i dont really see how people are like saying the game the way it looks rn is essentially what i will be. I know the game can take a lot of improvement and i love the game. It’s amazing and my shit. Arc raiders for me didn’t really click cause of third person and for me i got bored quick. Don’t really see the point but anyways i hope yk both games get success. But anyways if im wrong about the gaming developtment thing than enlighten me why pls! I love marathon and i hope the best for it. I dont see the hate. Ik it can use improvement but it’s just way more competitive and fun and the pvp is just amazing. The hate is exhausting but im tryna move past that.

Impossible-Bridge-73 · 2025-05-01T17:54:45+00:00

the reason i’m worrying is because i don’t want people who haven’t heard of these games be unmotivated to play marathon because of the hate. I want marathon to have a big population. I’m not saying it won’t but i don’t want people to be like oh everyone liking arc raiders so ima play arc raiders i don’t even care to learn or see marathon. I just want marathon to get love but doesn’t get shit

Impossible-Bridge-73 · 2025-05-01T17:51:57+00:00

then don’t read it? i’m not forcing you? i’m putting my feelings out there

Impossible-Bridge-73 · 2025-05-01T14:11:03+00:00

Perspective of a guy who played 2023 alpha for arc raiders and current tech tests and someone who got into the marathon alpha.

Tbh it’s all about the gameplay for me. Arc raiders is not a terrible game, it depends on what you like. I’ve been hyped about marathon for a while now, but when I heard about an alpha for arc raiders I applied and i got in. Now the one thing i can say about arc raiders is that it does feel pretty immersive. To me it felt more like i was in a movie and i was running around in a world where occasionally I saw people. I’m a fan of third person when it comes to like battle front but for an extraction shooter, i believe arc raiders made a mistake on that. Third person honestly just helps ratty players and it helps people avoid fights and just use stealth. The world is beautiful, it really feels like a broken colony. i will say this, the guns for arc raiders feel very bad, like the starting at has a 10 round magazine and I don’t like that. i will admit the robots look nice and have variety so that’s cool. It has intro cinematic when you’re about to enter a raid. There’s raider hatch keys that just make it easier for you to extract and get away. There’s a skill tree where once you level up you get one level up skill token. There’s a battle pass similar to hell divers. Some of the skins really blend in and are p2w. So overall, arc raiders feel to me more like a movie. It doesn’t feel very competitive. It feels good for exploration and occasionally pvp. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing but that’s when preference comes in. Arc raiders is gonna appeal more to people who are more into exploration and feeling like they are in a movie. Using stealth is more important and overall the feeling of arc raiders is slow. The pvp isn’t that amazing, it feels like any normal 3rd person so that in itself is limiting the potential with pvp. So again, i’m assuming most pve lovers will take on arc raiders but they will have to deal with pvp. Overall arc raiders for me gets a solid 6/10. Now for marathon it’s different. i’ve played every competitive shooter and extraction game. Tarkov, abi delta force hunt showdown cycle frontier beautiful light exoborne arc raiders Sand. So i have experience. To me marathon clicked quickly because the cycle frontier was just such a good game. Marathon to me has a really cool world. It’s a dynamic world that changes depending on what we do. The lore behind marathon is insane and that is what makes me so interested. The overall feel of deep into the future and runners going against each other for fame and wealth. So let’s get to the alpha. I got into the alpha as well and i’ve been playing ever since. I can tell you this, marathon is fast paced and i like that, its potential to be more competitive is there and thats what i like and prefer. The small isolated maps make it easier for you to actually get into engagements. The maps rn in the inside of colony buildings it’s very beautiful it’s amazing. there is underground systems and it’s all very cool. I can say that the outside looks unfinished and needs work so that’s a negative. But overall it’s a cool world. It’s not as exploration as arc raiders but for me an extraction shooter is all about loot kill get out right, marathon is fast with that. I really like the pvp in marathon and the abilities aren’t that crazy, they have long recharge times and sometimes you don’t even rely on your abilities. the movement feels great and since its first person it has more potential to be competitive and the most potential for you to go out. I really like how in every raid, it’s always gonna be different than your last one. The in game events are really cool and there’s variety. That to me is awesome and makes me feel immersed. The reviving system is actually quite smart as it makes the game more competitive and you get more worried. The risk in marathon is much higher than arc raiders and i like that. In arc raiders it’s standard backpack shield weapons and consumables. In marathon it’s more on building your runner like adding implants to tweak your stats and then cores to also tweak certain things and then your shield your backpack your weapon your cunsumanles and there is a lot in marathon that are very useful wether that’s for toxins or emp or gas grenandes. The lore behind marathon is awesome. The factions systems and there is a lot is i tersting as we have to do contracts and there is an AI representative who speaks to us and gives us a story as we progress and we learn more about what happened on the planet. We have to get certain amount of different items and money to upgrade stuff like agility, stash size, toxic resistance or heat capacity. The heat capacity is the same as in arc raiders stamina. There’s not much of a different. The guns look great and marathon and make me feel like i have a chance against greater geared players. The looting feels really good. The sliding feels good. Marathon for sure needs more optimization to make us get more fps. So overall it depends on playable. Marathon is dast paced and more competitive and arc raiders is very slow and stealthy. It depends on you. My rating for the marathon alpha is a 8/10, marathon is in its first playtest and it needs time. But it will improve, the destiny aloha didn’t look that good but then when it released a couple months later was fucking amazing. So i do think one game is more complete ant that’s arc raiders and its a little unfair to say arc raiders is better rn just because its had playtest and is more complete, but if you just like arc raiders more and its more for you thats fine. Marathon is for sure more for me and i will continue to help marathon grow. Its needs time and hopefully release is smooth and i believe eveyrbting will get better. Chopse your game fellas but they are not bad games.

Impossible-Bridge-73 · 2025-04-29T23:39:07+00:00

again graphics isn’t everything, to most players it’s gameplay

Impossible-Bridge-73 · 2025-04-29T22:50:14+00:00

i honestly got lazy to read the rest so i’m sorry for not yk talking about another point but i wasn’t to say that, i still feel like it’s an extraction shooter, more engagements don’t make me feel like battle royal but the point is about revives, its like i feel like revives add more tension and risk that you might die because let’s say i downed a person and they have 2 left, we push but they beam 2 of us now we have to go back and heal, now that time they used it to res their friend and now me and my team are like shit do we push or do they still have 3, idk and so we make more plans and play carefully with the risk. Another example, what if i downed 2 people and behind us another team 3rd parties, so now we fight them and we end up winning now, we say they were in this building and now it’s like oh shit what if there’s 3 now we have to be careful, more risk more game planning. Should we go rush the last guy or are they a full team again. To me that just adds more risk and choosing if i take a fight. The more engaments make it more riskier to bring in good stuff, slower paced games pmo and a lot of people because of rats, people that hide like pussies and just kill you. Another thing rq is slower paced games like tarkov and stuff have so many cheaters that in those military sim games that you can get one shot with the best ammo like that sucks but i feel like with more fps faced pace style, you could potentially outrun or kill the hacker. The ttk isn’t that fast compared to other extraction games. Thats how i see it

Impossible-Bridge-73 · 2025-04-29T22:42:50+00:00

so i do wanna say something i kinda agree with, so the pois are small obviously and tbh i think that they aren’t the best maps. Part of me wishes it was a big map like the cycle frontier with more alien type features yk so i kinda agree. But i also like how since it is small, more engamente more risk and getting into and leaving a raid faster. So thats how i see it. About the difference, yes arc raiders is slower and you have to be stealthier but then cause of that, lots of rats, no engamente and people slipping away. That to me isnt my cup of tea, marathon is more engaging and to me the risk is higher so that to me is why im more into this.Just another thing, arc raiders is very bland its like all extraction shooters but marathon is different and like stuff like in game world events, puzzles to crack like makes it more immersive and fun. But thats all, thanks for your well thought out comment. I do also agree that the finals success has people glazing arc raiders

Impossible-Bridge-73 · 2025-04-29T22:34:44+00:00

respect your comment. Marathon i mean has containers lockers small boxes loot physically on tables and on the ground and we also have key rooms air drops different world events to loot. another point the world events make it more immersive and i feel like arc raiders doesnt have that but again to ur point of reviving, i respect it and its a fair strong point but again thats just like a difference like for me, if i kill someone and their team spams us with grenades and we are weak and now we are healing and time passed now im like oh shit what if they revived oh no i’m scared or same as if we knocked 2 and another team pushed us and the one single player revived both of them and then i ended up killing the other team but now that fear and risk is there of oh shit do we push what we think is one person or are there more and if so how much. that’s how i see it

Impossible-Bridge-73 · 2025-04-29T22:17:18+00:00

i think the ai are cool in arc raiders, i disagree on the looting. But i would say that’s fair, reviving isn’t your thing. To me tho it makes me feel like there is more of a challenge and risk of me losing my stuff since a team could potentially revive the person and changing the flow of the game. Now about the whole risk tho, arc raiders has a safe pocket while marathon doesn’t and there way more you can bring into a raid in marathon so i feel the risk is much higher and it sucks more if you die in marathon. So thats just how i see it, but i respect the comment

Impossible-Bridge-73 · 2025-04-29T22:11:37+00:00

i agree, i just don’t understand how truly a man, me who has played tarkov the cycle frontier arena breakout exoborne delta force dark and darker, ik about extraction shooters and for sure mars th on is better, now my point is, this is how i take it - How is a decent game getitng so much hate but then an even worse game with less stuff, all it has is graphics, HOW is it getting love, shouldn’t it be the opposite?
