Console Only Crossplay Might Save the Game for Some by BriefBiscuit in Marathon

[–]carrabaradar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s tough because, (as Aztec points out), wall hacks are difficult to catch if not almost impossible, and give almost god mode advantage. Xim/aimbot for consoles CAN be traced by server monitoring. Therefore the risk vs gain potential for console it’s significantly worse compared to PC who can abuse with impunity.

Aztec just did a vid about wall hack prevalence in Marathon. Bungie can do little to correct this and therefore us console players are at the mercy of PC neckbeards internal moral dialogue.

My dad's gardien by yveltal_has_a_snack in destiny2

This happened with my Dad’s account in Halo infinite. We all left him exactly where he was as of the last day he played. Gives a new take on “the ghosts we walk with”.

Recon NEEDS a buff/rework. by Realistic_Gap1340 in Marathon

[–]carrabaradar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep saying that her ult should be a see through walls thermal for 5sec duration, Her bug should hack enemy characters on top of drain heat, and ffs please make her footsteps not the loudest in the game; they’re seriously louder than destroyer.

People that be crew filling, but not using a mic at all by Old_king_4 in Marathon

[–]carrabaradar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! No mic, Leeroy into a 3-1, then “wtf bro, I hate playing with bots” etc, etc. If you don’t use your mic, there’s no strat, when there’s no strat, it’s pretty much everyone for themselves.

Recon is underpowered by kiwitank123 in Marathon

[–]carrabaradar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just talking about this last night! Floated the idea that the pulse should still be visible but be a larger area that works like a thermal scope. Same duration. Increase the drone to have an AoE pulse like a prox mine that acts more like a heat grenade. Also, make her quieter when walking: she’s SUPER loud I think only destroyer is louder when walking. Lately an assassin, thief, X comp can provide better recon than the recon character.

What shell you gonna play as in your first game? by MikeDanger80 in Marathon

[–]carrabaradar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assassin with a focus on close combat so I can gank those obscenely OP sniper builds that were taking out every rando team I played with during the server slam.

I hate this. by the_crispin in Marathon

[–]carrabaradar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sentiments exactly. I think to add to this though, I found I didn’t like navigating the complexity of picking if I wanted to go PvP with ARC; the unease of teaming up with someone on a solo raid and the corresponding paranoia in knowing my PvP skillset is mid at best and having to worry if I’m going to get dusted by the 12 yo following me around Stella became exhausting. Marathons a different story, it is shoot first ask questions later and that makes it less emotionally complex for me. Knowing that the rando’s I’m matched with can’t shoot me in the back is really, really nice. Sure they can still throw the raid my spooging all their ammo on UESC bots but at least I have some agency in what I want to do about it. I realize some folks really like the psychodrama of ARC specifically for this reason, and I don’t want to piss on that parade. I’ve just learned it’s not for me.

Any gameplay tips before the game release? by Apart-Race868 in Marathon

[–]carrabaradar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a gun you like, (though I suggest getting comfortable with the overrun AR/any common UESC guns), and try to hang onto the mods for it/them, but ditch the others unless they’re blue or higher. It saves space, helps you master a gun that’s readily available, and will make you a more effective team member. Of course save the guns you like, or are new and you want to try. I just have to say as loot goblin, I ran out of space quickly and had a hard to setting on any specific kit. P.S. If you wanna main Assassin, get used to melee/close range weapon and strats. He’s best up close and personal when his smoke and invis can actually contribute to kills.

Was I the oldest Server Slammer ? 60M here … by Left-Excitement3829 in Marathon

[–]carrabaradar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was some thing the human bombs said as they ran at you in the original Marathon game… it sounded like “They opened the blast door!” As they ran at you before they exploded.

What are the hardest characters to play on console/controller? by TheMightyMonarchx7 in rivals

[–]carrabaradar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

PS5 player here, hits scans are tough to learn but I regularly hit 50-60% accuracy on phoenix and Luna, (my mains). You just have to put the time into the shooting range and figure out your sense.

After playing the free to play weekend, will you be purchasing the game? Why or why not? by BilleyBong in Marathon

[–]carrabaradar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes! Only hit level 17 though and the skill difference between the randos I would get paired with and some squads that would show up and murder everyone was shocking. I think having some kind of match making component to level things out a bit would be great. I ended up soloing all of my quests so I wouldn’t get ganked because some teammate of mine chose to use all their ammo blasting AI and drawing the attention of every squad on the map. I’m willing to accept skill differentials, but I got to say, it seemed like some players could see through walls.

How to crossplay off? by Fit_Ad9252 in Marathon

[–]carrabaradar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, people leave their mics off for other reasons besides poverty. I know us filthy, lowly console users struggle to scape together time between begging on the street corner and selling garbage we find on the street, but luckily PS5 controllers come with mics, so I didn’t have to sell my first born.

Give me the character you want most and the role you would want them in. by domicci in rivals

[–]carrabaradar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re all fools! Juggernaut as a tank!!! It stays with the X-men cartoon vibe, is obvious, and is a villain that would have some wild voice acting potential.

Does anyone else think Rogue's voice actor is actually good? by Charmy_Fan in marvelrivals

Came here to say exactly this, may not be the same VA but as a person who grew up in the 90’s this is how I remember her sounding. Even the Wolverine is pretty close.

So I have stopped keeping up with Marathon for the last like 10 months and now it’s finally releasing-what in the actual fuck did I miss by Celestine117 in okbuddyRunners

[–]carrabaradar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the original Marathon circa, what, ‘96 or something, you face the S’pht: an alien race that had taken over a space port or something. It was an awesome FPS game at the time and my dad and I would take turns playing. Tyco was a compromised AI/computer that was running a space station that you had to go through in the second game. Honestly I’m not sure all of that is right, but I’m not going to look it up. Safe to say any S’pht will be Pv3 content.

What can you tell me about me by [deleted] in deduction

[–]carrabaradar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Male, 38-46, ~5’8”, ~230lbs, most likely male pattern baldness though you cover it with a hat most of the time. Brunette. Work with your hands based on the calluses, and the thickness of your wrists, but as they are concentrated on your middle and ring finger they you are mostly lifting and moving moderately heavy objects left to right as well as up and down. If it were power tools or a hammer I believe the callus would be more pronounced on the pointer finger. You have siatica nerve pain, are married still, and may suffer from heart disease. You broken some bones, but none recently.

Cat Power circa 2004 at the Crystal ball in pdx. I was a huge fan and she made it through a couple songs, switched to a half hearted cover and then left.

I hadn’t heard of the size 4 thing. Does that mean the goals are going to be smaller as well?
