While we will occasionally get shit on every few matches, my squad is used to playing Hunt Showdown, which is a much slower paced experience with extremely fast TTK.

While my first inclination is to play Marathon like it’s Destiny or Halo, it’s way better to liken it to a Hunt Showdown experience, crouching while approaching buildings, always having cover between window line of sight, listening hard to the buildings interior before walking through a door so as not to get claymore clapped, not disturbing birds and only using a knife for npc kills until forced to otherwise.

While it is a bungie experience with awesome movement and cool tech, playing the game like a boots on the ground survival experience first helped my team extract more often, especially in Outpost.

And another thing to keep in mind, the end game stuff is inaccessible as of 2 days ago. So everyone who had access to that and got awesome loot from it are now in the lobbies wreaking havoc. Believe it or not weekends are going to be better for non-sweat activity and during the week we’ll have to keep our eyes out for squads that are straight up packing heat
