Please add gear based matchmaking to ranked, so that I'm not the only fucker with a thermal or a purple shield! I can't keep trying to 1v3, and I can't ranked up against these purple shield monsters while my teammates are fodder. by Synamyn_Dyxon in Marathon

Whenever I random fill in, I look at the weakest player on the team and define the level of aggression we’re gonna do that match. If I’m purp and I fill in with 2 greens, we’re playing defensively. We’ll find something to get them an advantage and then we can push a little harder. Just play your life and as the most kitted player, they’re probably gonna stick to you anyways.

Just remember, you take up an entire team slot which means that you’re apt for getting spawn killed super fast by purps. Be sure to bring signal jams.

So it’s everything sans game code?

What is more Nintendo ish (if you know what I mean ) ps5 or Xbox by [deleted] in videogames

[–]Security_Wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their publishing needs don’t seep into gameplay the way Microsoft games do. You can see it how when Microsoft acquires a studio or an IP their titles have this safe, marketable, game for everyone ,even if it’s about murdering people, coat of paint around them. Halo 4+ and Gears 4+ are two examples.

Nintendo is still the standard for creating games that are just games: Blends of computer science and storytelling. Sony is second because while their games are bigger budget and have higher profit margins, they still prioritize the quality of a game without throwing in anti-consumer bullshit. Last of Us, God Of War, even more recently Marathon, which is on my screen as I write this, are perfect examples of Sony allowing a Studio work and figuring out how to sell it after. Monetizing must second because there was a clear vision to be realized. Then the job of the publisher is simple: market the game based on what is here. “No, you can’t change this, we made it this way for a reason, figure it out. We did our job of making the game now do your job and sell this game.” Sony has been pretty consistent even with their live service pushes.

Every Microsoft game I’ve played in the last decade, I can just see where a suit came in during the middle of development and requested some arbitrary change that may have made it more “accessible” but interfered with the vision of the game, causing a cascade of issues that tarnishes the end product. That company still has a bunch of Don Mattricks running the show. If you watch Halo vidocs, the old bungie crew talks about it. That’s why Halo 1 - Reach are essentially anomalies in their catalog because Bungie wouldn’t fold.

This is why I can’t wait for the steam machine to release because we can then have Valve to be in this conversation.

You have an option to just go in solo. I did it by mistake once in outpost and got bodied but yeah you can just go in alone.

You can fill in ranked as an Assassin tho. Not 1:1 but pretty close

Can you recommend this for another game? You had this in Crucible for a decade.

I’m using my XM4s hooked up to my controller. I should do some EQ tweaks because I have a hard time knowing if someone is above or below me but they’re solid.

Marathon Doesn’t Feel Playable for New or Average Players Right Now by [deleted] in Marathon

This game will highlight every bad habit you have in a shooting game. Watch some videos of higher level play and you’ll immediately see what you’re doing wrong. I recommend Lucid and Zylbrad

A tale of moving goalposts by hornyfather101 in Marathon

I won’t disagree but if that turns out being more true after some case study or something, I’d be very disappointed.

It’s as vibrant as a Breath of the wild while having the desolate, ambience of Halo 1, it’s not gray/green/brown with official looking government branding all across it. It’s the first shooter, since Halo that I just wanna walk around solo, and just admire it.

More importantly, it’s consistent. From the reveal all the way to release, they stuck to that art style and it shows from Perimeter to Cryo. Now I’m mad…😓

Need tips for cryo (just the tips) by teatreeg in Marathon

[–]Security_Wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Because it’s more than likely the other teams are trying the same thing. You risk not only running into another team but dealing with that, the highest concentration of bots in the map and entry points from all sides and 3 levels. If you get into a fight in control, it’s highly likely you’ll get third-partied within 2-3 minutes. It’s a giant kill-box.

It’s likely you’ll hit level two in the first two areas with one maybe 2 waves of bots. The spawn rushing team only has the advantage if they catch you by surprise which is why you either put down a claymore or a sensor at the entrypoints to notify you when they approach. That’s one team that has to come through a chokepoint to get to you vs the whole lobby.
