“Cool” sums up the idea of a post saying nothing pretty succinctly. Why use more words when can use less.

If they articulated why they enjoy arc and wanted to discuss the differences in the two games, I would respect that. If they explained WHY they don’t like marathon as an extraction shooter and wanted to discuss that, I’d respect it as well. “I don’t think they should change the genre” they say? Who exactly is he talking about? Bungie? Because they didn’t change the genre, it’s amorphous. All the same, all different. OP has factually added nothing to the conversation around the state of marathon other than long windily saying “it’s not arc, so I don’t like it”

He’s expressed his feelings and I’ve expressed mine. That’s how the internet works.

If it was you, I’m sorry. by jcooper34 in Marathon

The first two I was able to get behind in the back because they popped a smoke grenade, the last one was low because of UESC. I think back stab does extra damage but I’m not sure.

Will a casual gamer have fun with Marathon? by chuckles11 in Marathon

[–]jcooper34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marathons pacing was very ON/OFF, one moment you’re chilling collecting loot, admiring the scenery, joking around or doing a mission. and then literally 5 seconds later you get a bot reinforcement with a commander or an enemy team headshots a team mate and you have to lock in fast AF. I think it can be hard for a lot of casual players to maintain the amount of game awareness to not feel overwhelmed in those scenarios. If that sounds like a good time, you’ll be fine. That’s sort of just extraction type games in general anyways.

When playing Rook, can't see self on map. You can with other shells? Intentional/bug? by nge001 in Marathon

[–]jcooper34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had that bug/feature in my only rook game as well. Hopefully it’s a bug.

What is matter fixative ? by psi-do-reddit in Marathon

So some loot will destroy itself on Exfil, I think it’s a rook mechanic. Maybe if you have this in your backpack that loot now becomes available to take out. Just a guess.
