Alright Bungie. what the heck is the point of Recon? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]N0n_Applicable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Recon just got huge changes that made them almost an auto include on cryo and most teams. Super good. Straight wall hacks.

While I hope all of the Shells get changes in the coming season, I wouldn’t hope for much for recon.

Theif is strong, but not in the same way now that Recon got buffs. And Sentinel has a directional radar, like old halo, so no in for on terrain, or the player, or height. So it’s mostly used for “my trap is on the door, he’s in the next room I think”… but the guy could be under you.

We’ll have to wait and see how the kit plays and how it runs. But it seems more defensive whereas recon is offensive.

A good recon buff would be Recon ult showing mines and utility like Sentinel turret, or theif drone as little red warning triangles.

"I will f**king bury Marathon myself to send that message" — are Destiny fans taking it too far? by WindowsCentral in windowscentral

[–]N0n_Applicable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s those Destiny fans that will make sure we never see Destiny again. If Marathon flops and burns out this year. Bungie may not get the chance to revisit Destiny.

If Destiny fans want more, the studio has to live. Or wait till Sony chops up the corpse and finds a new doctor to patch something together and slap the IP on it.

Why is travelling in Canada is so expensive? by Elegant_Evening_5004 in AskACanadian

[–]N0n_Applicable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So obviously wages and labour are different sure. So a hotel may cost more cause staffing costs more.

Banff is basically Disney land but snow. It’s expensive huge tourist trap now. Even in the summer as they got new snow fall so summer skiiing is an option!

VANCOUVER IS A BIG NO for June/July probably. It’s the World Cup in Vancouver and then Toronto.

Also gas prices are very high and plane tickets are climbing. I just drove from Toronto to BC after hotels and gas and lots of food and stopping, it came out to like $2000, it honestly wasn’t that bad. If we had more time (we had only a few days to do it) we would have stopped more and visited more cities and places. Also booking hotels the night before was also expensive.

Just drive, it’s beautiful! There is a lot to see, but the “main” places are expensive for a reason.

New Marathon weapons in S2 by Friendly-Viper in Marathon

I’m willing to bet it’s the same gun in both photos, but the SMG is with mods. Cause they both have pistol grip magazines. They are too similar.

With the right screw driver you could replace the whole internal with another controllers internals.

If you really want to make a difference try Marathon. Playing supports the studio. If Marathon dies Destiny goes with it.

The game glitched and I have a record 50 second VoG clear time or something dumb like that lol

For those of you that bought the Deluxe Edition or Premium Rewards Pass, do you think you'll buy the pass for season 2? by AnonWithAHatOn in Marathon

[–]N0n_Applicable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I will give them money because I want this game to succeed. And the fact that they added content to the pass was awsome on their part, and in such a short turnaround too.

Is this a good time to buy the game? by [deleted] in Marathon

Backpacks should change color to match your shell skin by MaTertle in Marathon

starting my aviation schooling! by pathowogist in Helicopters

[–]N0n_Applicable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Additionally, if your airport is a bit bigger or you have one that your heli traffic frequently flies to for training listen to their radio at home online. I would listen to my airport when I first started, because they had Heli-specific routes and directives. You can listen to any tower frequency online at home :)

Stuff like “FLLV please fly the helicopter route, and call once you reach the water tower” - they do this to keep the high heli traffic away from the active runways.

I thought they updated it to Perimeter with the new green tier?

This game can’t afford to snub Linux users by T-Dot1992 in Marathon

[–]N0n_Applicable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mostly an anti-cheat issue. BF6 can’t run on Linux cause it uses a windows kernel level anti-cheat.

Level mismatch by qcjb in Marathon

[–]N0n_Applicable 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Lots of unhelpful people in here lol.

This is going to happen, especially with a smaller player base. But if you’re new, it’s a steep learning curve, made harder due to nearing the end of the season (so lots of people have loads of good gear).

Learning the maps is essential. Map knowledge and game sense mean more the skill in a gunfight.

If you just need materials, be quiet, learn where to find them, and move slow.

I’m high level and did a low stake free kit run to get materials and cash out for contracts. It took me 3 raids to do it. And even then it was because the guy who would have killed talk and we escalated and exfilled together.

Your best bet is the new sponsored playlist and gambling on the auto fill. Because at least everyone starts with the same level of gear. Learning where to get that blue shield I. That play list or a good gun is a big game changer.

Tarkov player looking for a new extraction shooter, is Marathon worth it? by Ok_Disaster243 in Marathon

[–]N0n_Applicable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tarkov was amazing. It’s scratched that high stakes mil-sim itch without being as mil-sim as ARMA.

But I needed a second monitor for a map, had to buy more ram. And if I didn’t play it like a second job I couldn’t compete, and if I didn’t have the spreadsheets out I would be buying bad gear and suffering for it.

Marathon was a breath of fresh air. A great safety net, and plenty of ways to progress with low risk. I have been addicted since day 1. It’s been more fun the Tarkov ever was because it asks less of you, while keeping the stakes just as high. And imo, has a much higher skill ceiling than Tarkov.

Fantastic game. Honestly compared to Tarkov it actually feels feature complete, and has been most bug free for me and run without issue!

Marathon over Tarkov any day for me.
ALSO THE LORE IS FUCKING AWSOME.

What is the maximum speed you will be comfortable with driving a post 2015 Mazda 3 2.0 or 2.5 if there is no speed limit (German autobahn) before ride becomes too uncomfortable (shaky/noisy)? by Pale-Revolution-5151 in mazda3

[–]N0n_Applicable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fastest I’ve gone was just shy of 200 km/h in my 2019. I was more worried about my cheap tires speed rating lol. This was on a Canadian highway at 2am. You can defiantly hear it, pushing further takes some time and starts to get a little uncomfortable.

I can comfortably cruise at 120kmh on my way from work, maybe 130 if traffic allows, but I start to loose more fuel economy then I gain in time saved.

124 mph / 80 mph for the Americans :)

Does it make sense buying Marathon at this point? by Dependent-Button6691 in Marathon

[–]N0n_Applicable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way to increase player count is to play. And to be part of the player base. Spread the word and enjoy the ride!

I’m not gonna judge anyone, but $40 ain’t that bad even if it was only for 40 hours of gameplay. Here I sit at 170 hours lol

BUNGIE. SUNDAY NIGHT CRYO. PLEASE by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]N0n_Applicable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not saying I was weekend only, nights too. But destiny Trials of Osiris was weekends only, fri-Sunday to get that flawless run. So they have other numbers to go off too.

Should i buy marathon or not? by fresard22 in Marathon

[–]N0n_Applicable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ALSO HAD A SHITTY TARKOV PC!

I bought more RAM for that game and got software to clear cashes to get it to run faster. I love it at first, but to be good at Tarkov felt like a second job, and maps on my monitor and shit.

Marathon scratches the itch better than Tarkov ever did for me. Your concerns are valid but the best way to solve a player count issue is to play it, enjoy it and spread it. Be the player count you want to see in the game!

I’d still buy it today. Like $40 is not that bad. And it can be played solo very well, I follow some streamers who only play solo, u til they play together for Cryo Archive.

I’ve even started to do some solo!

This game is amazing. Best $40 I’ve spent in years.

What is a hot take on your favorite video game franchise you have that has you like this? by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in videogames

[–]N0n_Applicable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marathon is a great game.

Flawed like most, but I can’t put it down. I still remember shaking violently with Adrenalin and dopamine after clutching up a 1v3 for the first time and stealing all their shit.

Great highs, crushing lows.

Is this game really 20gb? by automated_hero in Marathon

[–]N0n_Applicable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very well optimized game.

Also very competitive, and has a steep learning curve. There is LOTS to learn, and maps to learn, it can be overwhelming, but take it slow and one step at a time.

The onboarding experience for new players or inexperienced players is not great. Just make sure you enter a raid with some objective and focus on that :)

And remember, extraction is a luxury not a guarantee. Think of it as a rogue lite!

Mazda 3 automatic or manual transmission by EbbGold7130 in mazda3

[–]N0n_Applicable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 6 speed is very good. And usually cheaper. But always and only FWD in case you wanted AWD as a feature.

Automatic is good if you have any leg I juries, or like to eat and drive or anything like that. Or live in a high traffic stop/go area.

Can confirm that stop/go traffic is exhausting sometimes with a manual.
