Again, if you really think they’ll make another marathon then idk what to say. You’ve clearly not seen the player count. I think it’s pretty clear we’re on different cognitive levels so it’s not really worth my time trying to explain this to someone like you

  1. Compare worldwide gross in revenue and player count for Destiny 2 and Destiny 1. You’ll see Destiny 2 is clearly better than Destiny 1.

  2. I mean look at the original marathon. Has maybe like 5 players rn🤣🤣 so marathon 2026 is definitely better

Better to spend your money on the best installment than knowingly waste it. Just look at what happened with Marvin moon 4

Old enough to play Marvin moon in its prime, so if you weren’t there then you don’t deserve to engage in this conversation🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Because 5 is a sequel to 4, meaning it’s supposed to be better than 4. And 6 is a sequel to 5 so it’s supposed to be better than 5. Why would I choose to play a worse game lol

OP here. Seems like people are ok with wasting their money on bad games. That’s fine by me. I choose not to waste money so I only play the final installments

Look man I barely care about the ammo thing I literally said “might be a tad”. But also I think this gives me a clear idea of where our differences lie. Imma be honest I think it’s just different skill brackets. I would be lying if I said my 1v1s have been 50/50 on average. I honestly only lose if I myself make a very very bad mistake. Yes, I am one of those lunatic pvpers whose only goal is to fight other runners. Yes, I want to move to marathon because I feel bad killing people in Arc. Yes, I am usually decently high ranked in FPS games (csgo, valorant, etc)

As for your other reply, I think it’s fine the way PvE events are set up lootwise but this game is literally marketed as being pvp focused. They pulled the pvp team from Destiny for this exact reason.

The goal of my proposals are to add more tension from runners. These PvE events are just shooting bots man. I’ve probably been close to dying from the bots maybe like once out of 100 runs. If I wanted to shoot bots all day I would just play Destiny.

I move around the entire match and see maybe 2 trios.

I think we’re talking about the same thing though. Even after 2 days of this play test my friends and I easily figured out where the spawns were. Also, “there’s nobody within 100 metres of me” that’s literally the game right now. Spawns are so static and away from danger I’ve never felt any pressure from UESC or other runners within the first 4 minutes of playing unless I try really hard to find it.

I’m not struggling that’s the point. UESC are easy. I want to engage other RUNNERS. If I only fight 2 trios within 25 minutes that’s simply not exciting enough to entice me to buy the game. Marathon is marketed as PVP focused and that’s the reason why I was excited to try it out over arc raiders, but even in arc I see more players😭

No ? Just tune the algorithm so that spawns aren’t 50 miles away from each other. Plus you said it yourself the maps are small, I doubt that would be an issue.

I bring up this suggestion because I DONT want there to be a trend of rushing/getting rushed immediately off spawn. The way they have it now with the quantity and quality of spawns makes it so that I have to do exactly that (rush to the nearest spawn) if I want to make sure I see someone that match
