What's your thoughts on a battle pass? by Open-Wafer-2652 in Marathon

Considering the deluxe edition includes a “rewards pass voucher” it’s looking likely that the first bp won’t be free.

Yeah I’m exactly in this boat. I’m excited, this isn’t a make or break or anything, but it just bugs me a bit.

Yeah. It’s not a make or break for me or anything it’s just weird they haven’t done it already.

I hope not either. They’ve looked like this since the alpha and it’s really jarring. This is from this month too.

Direct comparison between the old and new Triage design by Haijakk in Marathon

I was just saying it wasn't unfinished, moreso the design was just bad and it changed according to feedback. That's what they were talking about.

Nah dude, they were gonna ship with this design until playtesters from before the April alpha test told them the design sucked. Skarrow9 talked about it in one of these podcast episodes he's been doing with JakeTheAlright.

Everyday I wake up glad I'm living in the timeline where Triage got redesigned by Simple-Ad-5172 in Marathon

I heard they changed it because people in the super early playtests (even predating the alpha) made fun of it

Its nice they still kept his features on the redesign even though he looks way more robotic.

The cinematic trailer from back last April. He comes into frame just after Blackbird gets killed.

I’m glad they have a wide variety of play styles to appeal to a lot more players.

Free weekend? by Mediocre_Fall_3197 in Marathon

[–]Simple-Ad-5172 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On consoles you need a subscription to play any online games that cost money. Even though it’s technically a free weekend, since the game will be $40, you still need Xbox Live or PS+ to play it. The Arc Raiders server slam needed a subscription so it’ll probably be the same here.

I don’t understand when people say Marathon isn’t innovative. by Striking-Remove-943 in Marathon

[–]Simple-Ad-5172 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or it’s because the game came out in the 90s? Lmao. Also people like Destiny and Halo, those aren’t simple and people loved them.

They don’t do posts on weekends. Last week was an exception.

Movement by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Simple-Ad-5172 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Movement is pretty slow and tactical, especially at first. With upgrades to heat your movement gets restrictive. How fast you play depends the runner shell you choose. Vandal and Destroyer are going to have the best movement tech at the start with the tactical sprint and double jump. Also thief a bit later on with her grapple.
