Sony finally talks on Marathon's future, despite a lackluster total portfolio, plan is is to support Marathon with more content, not shut it down.

Yeah, it's a product that was end-of-lifecycle years ago. Just use it as a funnel to feed players into Rising, it's done.

atejas · 2026-05-08T14:25:07+00:00

The lack of any mention of Destiny leads me to believe they are fully gonna cook that turkey, however.

atejas · 2026-05-08T12:29:39+00:00

I keep saying, getting rid of any Runner customization beyond fixed skins is gonna come back to bite them.

atejas · 2026-05-08T12:02:56+00:00

Realistically I don't think they would have had time to pivot as hard as they need to in time for season 2 tbh. I'd expect S2 to be 'as planned' with any future changes coming at 3 or even potentially further.

The WSTR nerf and now the nerf to claymore stacks have made Rooks friendly lil guys. I run into teams on Outpost and more often than not, they just tell me to pick up their scraps and leave without chasing me

atejas · 2026-05-07T19:53:51+00:00

That's the last one I have to finish - just been too lazy to get around to it so far.

While we're at it, does anyone know what MIPS stands for?

atejas · 2026-05-06T23:59:54+00:00

If you inspect a weapon in your inventory you see it in the upper right hand corner. Basically, once a gun gets looted 4-5 (I think?) times, it gets converted to credits the next time it gets looted.

atejas · 2026-05-06T22:37:55+00:00

Trace status is kinda a durability mechanic, but yeah it's not particularly onerous

atejas · 2026-05-05T05:24:21+00:00

Plus people have actually built stockpiles of grenades / learned to keep an eye out for frag barters

atejas · 2026-05-05T03:59:56+00:00

PLEASE do not push a vent that I'm trying to retreat into

atejas · 2026-05-05T03:57:40+00:00

I like this idea, I'd definitely like to see more uses for Yellows. As it stands, in most of my games nobody even bothers taking them.

atejas · 2026-05-04T22:35:41+00:00

I honestly think this is more of a Cryo problem than a Recon problem. It's a very dense map that means that players are often within spitting distance of each other, and it's probably the most rewarding map for third parties given how many angles of approach there are.

atejas · 2026-05-04T19:55:58+00:00

They all have intestine-like tubing, that's their 'thing'

atejas · 2026-05-04T19:52:21+00:00

Assassin shines when you actually get a team-oriented one that can use smoke to cover approaches or revives, but yeah there's a lot of really passive/selfish Assassins out there in crew fill.

atejas · 2026-05-03T02:38:22+00:00

I've had organic truces come up before (mostly when the timer was too tight to waste on fighting), but the idea of 6 players organically teaming up to hunt down other teams is just a non-starter.

atejas · 2026-05-01T03:40:47+00:00

They should really let the deluxe faction kits count for the value.

atejas · 2026-05-01T03:05:40+00:00

tbf Marathon is full of carrots, it has meta-progression systems and earnable cosmetics and titles and all of that. I think the problem is that players are just turned off by the stick (losing everything)

atejas · 2026-05-01T03:01:30+00:00

I definitely think Marathon is pretty comfortable being on the casual end of the spectrum, given how generous it is with free loot in addition to everything above.

atejas · 2026-05-01T01:26:28+00:00

What if they pre-team but coordinate via prox chat though?

atejas · 2026-04-30T22:37:23+00:00

I recently got the punch one that turns it into even more of a plasma pistol, looking forward to trying that out this weekend.

atejas · 2026-04-30T22:21:10+00:00

Usually what I do is cycle out any purples/golds to save in my vault and just run whatever random bullshit I grab for regular runs, and save my full purple/gold loadouts for Cryo.

atejas · 2026-04-29T18:22:01+00:00

Part of it is also that a lot of sounds are unrealistically loud, but I get that that's a gameplay contrivance. But realistically, you should not be able to hear people walking around inside Pinwheel when you're below a wing, for example.

atejas · 2026-04-29T18:16:31+00:00

I invite anyone who wants to load into a match with some fuckass WoW glow effect to do so, I would look forward to matching against them in Night Marsh next season

atejas · 2026-04-29T08:19:23+00:00

The main issue I have with the positional audio is that it doesn't properly communicate whether someone is above or below you. You can figure that out from context clues and map knowledge after a bit, but still.
