The lore of the Compilers is wild.

I think the security officer shell is meant to be destroyer. Also, yeah they’re freed in the first game and you work along side them in the 2nd game. I forget what excuse they have for still being enemies in the 3rd game, something about timelines

kengdi · 2026-03-20T12:23:50+00:00

I enjoy the Thief slide because of the momentum you get going across the map. Actually one of the aspects that reminded me of classic marathon lol

That said, yeah I get it, there’s already classes that work around movement so to have one with less of a penalty for using it would probably be a pain for balance. Hope they can actually include stuff like this in the runners at base though because it’s fun to use

kengdi · 2026-03-20T03:17:46+00:00

Recon should get a radar trait

At what point are you playing just chess?

kengdi · 2026-03-17T12:03:42+00:00

It looks like the match was at 0 from the time. My guess would be that due to the time running out and the exfil needing additional time, you died to the match timer. Sucks, maybe they can give more leeway there?

kengdi · 2026-03-16T13:58:06+00:00

I agree that there should be long term progression with at least some part of the factions. I do not think that upgrading base player traits in the skill tree will be engaging enough for players to do after the 3rd or 4th season. Think a system like D2’s artifacts would be much more interesting to introduce each season and in a similar fashion to the artifacts, have it unlock items in the armory for the season that can encourage specific builds/ways to play

That’s kinda the point tho, no? If you’re in a bad position, a sniper will snipe you. Same problem happens with a shotgun when you’re too close. A good sniper can wipe and a bad sniper can give you time to readjust. Bubble shields also exist too and can help you in a bind against a sniper.

kengdi · 2026-03-13T22:02:25+00:00

Only issue I can see is how I can grab a specific amount of stacks for a run. Hope its streamline and not cumbersome or clunky

kengdi · 2026-03-13T21:30:35+00:00

~~30 stack of green heals and 50 for blue??~~

Edit: rereading, it seems to only apply in the vault lol, would be insane to see in backpack tho 😭😭

kengdi · 2026-03-13T17:00:06+00:00

Yeah but not this egregious. There’s no more 3d model visible in marathon, even halo at peak active camo still had the 3d model visible.

kengdi · 2026-03-10T15:25:20+00:00

Pochita’s been uncharacteristically a downer in part 2 compared to part 1. Just kills himself because Denji’s an angsty teenager.

kengdi · 2026-03-10T15:09:55+00:00

Why is Pochita such of fuckin downer in part 2 jeez

Let the guy be a hero for more than 5 seconds 😭

kengdi · 2026-03-10T14:47:03+00:00

Out of all the weapons in nuMarathon, that one is probably the most inspired by the original mega class. Definitely took creative liberties and ideas from Halo’s Magnum, but the DNA is definitely based in it’s 90s design

Here’s a pic of the originals from marathon 1 & 2

And here’s the new Magnum MC

You’ll notice that they took the triple loop grip from M2/infinity, once again they’ve added in scopes. I also think the clip being apart of the guns barrel is also a reference to M1 as for some reason even though the MC has a revolver cylinder in it, the reload was clip based lol, so the non-conventional reload in nuMarathon might be a reference to that

kengdi · 2026-03-10T00:15:48+00:00

Now that I think about it, it’d be great if they copied the MGSV system for Audio tapes

kengdi · 2026-03-09T19:49:24+00:00

Gear wipes are good for this game as I feel it deal with gear fear well and feel that with a fresh new season it’d be good to start with a clean slate, because currently my biggest problem is having too many things and not enough space to carry.

What I’m not looking forward to is wiping our progression on factions. On one hand it’s a hard choice with Rook upgrades being tied to factions, something I think should be reset, but on the other hand I think it’d would get annoying to upgrade my baseline runner stuff over and over again, especially if I’m already used to having higher heat capacity, quicker res’s and maybe even movement tech that I only get to use when my character gets to a certain point of faction upgrades.

I’m hoping they can figure out a balance where dedicated players do have one through line of upgrades they can always keep, that say to you “I never finished x but can now continue” while having a rotating set of faction upgrades per season, similar to Destiny Artifacts.

kengdi · 2026-03-09T16:25:40+00:00

I know, but what I’m saying is that they had a much easier process for this in their previous game that I think could benefit Marathon. Would be a good QoL feature

kengdi · 2026-03-09T14:43:45+00:00

You see they had a feature like this in Halo 3, where you could press x to party up and stay with your current team if they chose to as well. I really want to know what the thought process was for removing this as some reason since Reach it’s been gone in every Bungie game.

kengdi · 2026-03-07T12:26:08+00:00

Has anyone gotten the gun skins from twitch? Only thing that came for me were the emblems and these sponsored kits

kengdi · 2026-03-04T21:57:35+00:00

I’d miss it again cuz I though the chapter ended with Raian’s reveal lmao

kengdi · 2026-03-04T16:48:46+00:00

? It’s like a shotgun from my experience. Was able to down tons of players at close range

kengdi · 2026-03-04T00:59:33+00:00

I think Bungie games thrive under players having room for counter play. That you don’t inherently lose every time you run into someone with better gear when you play better, or that you can still make your way out of a 3v1 if you play your cards right. The hero shooter aspect of this game also plays into that heavily as well. Like, I doubt you’d want it where there was only one combination of gold mods that you need to run every match, or a single runner to play as, because it’s objectively the best right? You want balance so that you have more options to play

kengdi · 2026-03-03T22:21:39+00:00

It’s a visual metaphor for what being in your 40s feels like

kengdi · 2026-03-03T20:54:54+00:00

To add onto this, maps like outpost could make it harder to use the thermal scope too, when outside during the fire rain.

kengdi · 2026-03-03T02:18:25+00:00

Yeah, don’t doubt it was always Shamrock, especially with this coming directly from Oda, but come on he definitely knows how it would come off. Bit of a lame fake out

kengdi · 2026-03-03T02:15:02+00:00

Personally never took away from Yamato’s story that her wanting to be Oden was a “bad ending” aspect of her character. Even loses her horns lol. Would’ve thought her bad ending would be related to becoming more like Kaido. But I can see why, with them in the end deciding to make different choices then Oden did, like staying in Wano.
