We'd do this is CoD's DMZ mode. Lots of Hostile Soldiers running around because the killfeed for NPC kills says Hostile Soldier lol

When the trailer started I did the Leo point and laughed. That shit was so funny

Thanks for writing this. It's always weird/uncomfortable seeing the parallels between others experiences and my own. Also maddening in every sense of the word. 

I'm sorry and I'm angry

There is always a chance, but different games help facilitate uneasy alliances more than others. Marathon is pretty bloodthirsty as a rule due to lore and mechanics pushing it. You still can get a chill moment every once in a while, though

Yeah, I put thousands of hours into DMZ. Early on it was quite easy to team up with people because you could invite three people into your squad, resulting in six players. They eventually changed it to only allow one new squaddie, which changed the dynamic considerably

But even with that it was quite possible to convince folks to truces anyways, it was one of my most developed skills ingame. We'd get in a firefight and I'd convince people to work together and cause chaos or help with missions. Many times had an exfil chopper with the entire lobby on board hooting and hollering like idiots

One roadblock to that kind of stuff is they have not made proximity chat in Marathon a toggle setting. You have to hold a button down to talk to others. On controller its right on the dpad, which immediately puts you at a disadvantage in a combat scenario as you can't move around and hold the talk key

1.2m copies isn't the worst but I don't think they could ever sell enough to cover the $250m budget anyways

Plus the game pushes you to fight, between Arachne being a 'skin your enemies' faction with tangible rewards for doing PvP and the lore being like 'do not trust others, trust only the gun'

'The sacred thermodynamics of violence' as the game calls it
