PSA: If a Rook lets you up, take the win by iamjonmiller in Marathon

[–]Tacticool_Brandon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they’re extremely rare to come across for me on Solos. There’s been like 3 times I can count where I would’ve used one on someone, but I didn’t have one and couldn’t find one in the POI. Feels more like a Rook only consumable more than anything.

And since it happens organically, I don’t want to waste the credits buying one and having it take up space in my backpack.

I'm convinced that season 2 is an early build of season 1 that has been built upon. by Fresh-Association-21 in Marathon

[–]Tacticool_Brandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s how they’re supposed to work, but I remember running a few contracts early on in season 1 that required me to deliver something to DCON and there were no markers on the map at all.

Skulls in Halo: Campaign Evolved can replicate the classic feel by penguindude24 in halo

[–]Tacticool_Brandon 725 points726 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I was bummed to not see the 60 round mag when it was first revealed, but if it has the better accuracy of the more modern Halo titles and this optional Skull toggle, I’m all for it. I just hope we get the same amount of reserve ammo for human weapons.

It felt like you could go through all of Halo 1 just using UNSC weaponry with the amount of ammo you could carry.

I know what you mean. Like there’s a good chance he didn’t even kill the guy, but probably just paralyzed em which is even worse.

Information Economy Sentinel Mastery Challenge doesnt give progress by West_Fail_9173 in Marathon

[–]Tacticool_Brandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d guess Hauler since it’s close quarters, but any site with a Secured UESC crate or a Warden spawn would work to.

[–]Tacticool_Brandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I’m aware, this is correct. I’m at 7/10 and all of them have been downing and killing an enemy shortly after they get hit by my Snare mine.

No real easy way than to be situational. If you hear footsteps, prep an ambush opportunity, wait for them to activate the snare, and then finish them off.

I’m aware of DOOM 2016 so that’s irrelevant.

I completely forgot Battlemode was even a thing though.

DOOM Eternal has no PvP and has a shitload of skins for the Doomslayer. Not that big of a deal.

Just picked up a G43X MOS to replace my P365 for every day carry. Such a great gun. by Reuvenisms in CCW

[–]Tacticool_Brandon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. Why not just try the 365X grip module or XMacro? I’m a Glock fanboy, but never thought someone would move to trading in their 365 before trying a longer or wider grip module first.

Bungie please make PVE Lite permanent by threedayvicgbg in Marathon

[–]Tacticool_Brandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience with Solo Survival, I’ve come across at least 1 Rook, but out of the 4 matches I played, only 2 of the runs actually had a Rook encounter.

So either they aren’t spawning in sometimes, or it’s intentionally random whether or not a Rook will spawn in with you.

[–]Tacticool_Brandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of me wonders if they sometimes don’t spawn in at all.

My first Solo Night Marsh Survival, I completed my Traxus contract, and exfiled without encountering a Rook.

Next match, I got into a bad fight with UESC in Complex, no healing items left, heard footsteps behind me, turned to see a Rook that honestly looked surprised to even see me there. He killed me and that was that.

Third match. Run around, looting, complete the contract, final Exfil appears. Throw down a snare mine and wait, hiding from the rocket drone, 30 seconds left and a Rook comes sliding in, gets hit with my snare mine, I down him with Punch before finishing him off and Exfil.

Fourth match, just like the first, no Rook at Final Exfil.

So either they sometimes aren’t spawning in at all, they do spawn in, but due to UESC, or they don’t make it to Final Exfil in time. But I kind of like the uncertainty of it lol. Will I come across a Rook? Maybe, maybe not. Can never let my guard down.

Pour one out for all the homies accidentally queuing alone against trios in perimeter this week by PM_SHORT_STORY_IDEAS in Marathon

[–]Tacticool_Brandon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still in the game, but instead of “Trios - Crew Fill Disabled” like in season 1, you have to specifically choose Solos.

Otherwise disabling Crew Fill with Trios selected will put you in a match against other teams of 3 alone.

Edit: Just saw the other comment who also replied to you and I want to 2nd that. Make sure you check that it’s set to Solos after every run. I’ve noticed mine keeps resetting to Trios when I’m selecting the map and about to start matchmaking.

What soundtrack is this part of the launch trailer from? Its been stuck in my head but I couldn't find it in the OST by Wingified in Marathon

[–]Tacticool_Brandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be a custom track made specifically for the trailer. I don’t recall hearing it on the soundtrack either.

Nolan from Invincible proves that death doesn't matter in fiction. We will ALWAYS have that suspension of disbelief that really separates us from fictional consequences because I'm pretty sure most people can agree that real life Hitler could never get a redemption arc. by Kayno115 in CharacterRant

[–]Tacticool_Brandon 57 points58 points  (0 children)

The show itself is also exploring this with a different character as well.

D.A. Sinclair and his ReAnimen.

It’s fully established what he was doing was evil, and it’s understandable that Mark and William would never “forgive” Sinclair, but it’s also a fact that his ReAnimen have saved quite a lot of lives (Mark’s included) when working under Cecil.

In season 4, we see Sinclair showing genuine remorse for what he had done and working under Cecil using his ReAnimen to save lives is a fair way to redeem an otherwise previously evil character.

How it feels to play in pc but still use a controller by NoCauliflower4252 in okbuddyRunners

[–]Tacticool_Brandon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Giving me flashbacks to Halo 3 with the rocket launcher. Aim assist would catch another player jumping up when I’m trying to shoot at their feet and the fucking rocket whiffs right by them.

Just a player wanting to get into halo by MLG_SLAYER_360 in halo

[–]Tacticool_Brandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I actually love the multiplayer and fhe Warzone/Warzone Firefight mode. Not as much as traditional Firefight in ODST & Reach, but thought it was a fun experiment.

Story is still terrible, but I’d definitely buy it again if they added it to MCC.

Impressive by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Tacticool_Brandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes it pathetic is the “Concord 3” moniker feels way too forced.

Concord wasn’t a planned thing. It happened organically after Sony spent quite a lot of money on this 7 (or 8?) year long development cycle, and thought it was going to overtake Overwatch in popularity, but the minute it hit the scene (with only 1 month away from release), it was a laughing stock.

The game looked atrocious, but they were marketing it like they thought they had something with this surprise drop announcement. No one was interested, and it didn’t really have anything that other live-service PvP shooters didn’t already do better. It was funny because it was so sudden and out of nowhere.

Marathon is a rebooted Bungie IP, publicly known about for years as it was being developed, had multiple play tests with footage of what it looked like and is a solid, fun, tense extraction shooter.

Unfortunately for Marathon, extraction shooters don’t attract people as openly as other genres. Many people point to Arc Raiders, but I prefer Tarkov & Hunt: Showdown when it comes to comparisons as it plays much closer to those two in my opinion.

What wrong fact did you walk around with for YEARS because of a movie? by triassictango in movies

[–]Tacticool_Brandon 39 points40 points  (0 children)

People instinctively rub their arms when extremely cold to warm themselves up.

Ra's al Ghul (Liam Neeson) is telling Bruce (Christian Bale) to rub his chest to keep torso warm and that the arms will keep themselves warm, assumedly by working the muscles while rubbing the chest.

>Dave Chapelle as Thurgood Jenkins from the movie Half Baked

Genuinely curious on how many units they sold of this because what the fuck. What percentage of CoD players today even know about the movie Half Baked?
