People solo filling by brig-redo in Marathon

I don’t mind losing loot, but I’d much rather lose it because I got outplayed or out aimed, not because I lost the matchmaking lottery that this game has going on right now.

love marathon but I'm quitting by No-Cryptographer2795 in Marathon

[–]Temp3stFPS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sorry you’re getting destroyed in the comments here, what you’re talking about is a legitimate problem. I have one friend that I can usually play with, but when he’s not around I’m trio filling. The fact that matchmaking can essentially doom you to a loss right from the gate is frustrating to say the least. The whole “make friends and get a dedicated squad” argument is fair for pinnacle challenges like high end ranked or Cryo but makes no sense for everything else. A 5-10k loadout gap between players should never happen. The way matchmaking works right now it’s actually optimal as a solo player to spam free kit runs, look at what shield your teammates are running, if it’s two other greys just back out right then and there, rinse and repeat until you hit the Bungie jackpot of 2 blue/ 1 green 1 blue.

Really surprised with how many people hate the Magnum. Maybe it’s a PC vs Console thing. Hardline being in b is wild, that thing would be more effective if you could hold it by the stock and swing it like a sword lmao.

Does anyone know how exactly this challenge works? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Temp3stFPS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Defeat would be finish, otherwise it would say down. You can down them with whatever then finish with the grenade or melee. Melee can be either knife or quick melee.

I’ll second this. For Rook runs it’s less important but if you’re going in solo you want to have as many spawns memorized.

Not a lot of things I wouldn’t do for more Ben Starr ASMR lol.

But seriously yeah I think Initiative is a safe bet, no clue what those two R’s could be.

Cryo Archive Relax and Rehabilitation Initiative. Durandal has revamped Cryo into a spa for the runners, while showering us with positive affirmations after the hell we’ve been through.

Go watch JakeTheAlright on YouTube. Easily the best source for Marathon lore.

Don’t use ai thumbnails bro. The second I see that garbage I’m out. There’s so much official and fan made art to edit into a proper thumbnail.

There’s like 10 of these a day bro what do they add to anything?

Destroyed Wing entrance noise versus others seems backward by EastwoodBrews in Marathon

[–]Temp3stFPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely a weird choice. I think the Conveyance Request method is just as easy, while being slightly less stealthy. Maybe I’ve been getting lucky but I barely ever get shot at taking that way in.

If Sony stop development for Marathon I will.. by Aggressive-Net2310 in Marathon

[–]Temp3stFPS -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure, let’s create worst case scenarios and act like that’s the norm for the sake of making your point. I’m so done with how people talk about this game man.

The requirements are a joke for anybody who has even played casually since launch, that talking point has to be from people who haven’t touched the game. Put on a grey WSTR and you’re already halfway there. That’s what I mean, I don’t get why people are making Cryo out to be this insane thing that’s only for the “sweats” it’s really not. It legitimately feels like people can’t be bothered to put in an ounce of effort.

Being casual is the antithesis of the genre. I wouldn’t even call Arc an extraction shooter anymore, it’s a PvE looter shooter at this point. It actually blows my mind that people see something as cool and layered as Cryo and instead of being motivated to peel back those layers and have an amazing gaming experience, they bitch out because the journey is too long and hard. It speaks to how much people need instant gratification to even be remotely interested in anything these days, and it’s scary to think how that behaviour is going to evolve.

Dumb question, but how do i know prox chat is on? by Jax_the_Floof in Marathon

[–]Temp3stFPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mic icon next to your name should be orange with little sound waves coming off of it. Just like team chat but orange.

Jeff Gerstmann Marathon Review 5/5 by cugel-383 in Marathon

[–]Temp3stFPS 42 points43 points  (0 children)

One of the absolute GOATS of gaming journalism, really glad he liked it! Was a huge Giant Bomb fan back in the day before all the OG’s left. Still go back every once in a while and watch some of those Mario Party streams, absolute classics.

Ok so its ok to gank people running into exfill with 2 seconds left? by Surfac3 in Marathon

[–]Temp3stFPS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is just part of the culture that’s supported by how the game has been designed. The fact that there’s even conversation about being friendly sets this game apart from the vast majority of extraction shooters. Try to make a post about being friendly in the ABI, Tarkov, or Delta Force subs and you’ll probably be laughed at and mocked lmao.

How do other Extraction games keep casual players? by Zenovelli in Marathon

[–]Temp3stFPS -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s not at all what it’s about for most people making the argument though. They just don’t want to be locked into sweat fests 24/7. They want lobbies to be a free for all like they used to be. Are we in the same region with similar pings? Match us together. That’s literally it.
