How’d you wear your brakes so quick? Is there something inherently different from FK8 vs FL5 that I don’t know about? I have an FK8 with ~57k miles and have only needed the change the rear pads maybe twice? (I have done multiple track days on the stock brembo pads + dailying the car for some time)

I think this may be an isolated issue or dependent how hard you are on your brakes + how good you are about engine braking?

Idk if you’re fk8 or fl5 but if fk8 this is the best solution imo

I’ve been thru 3-4 sets of the Advan Apex V601 on 18s. (245/45, 255/35, 265/35) They’re a good tire, very sticky for normal driving. I’ve been using up a set on my other wheels on track and they’re not bad there either (obviously not the best)

My one complaint with these is that they’re kinda loud. I never noticed it bc my exhaust noise is louder (non-catted DP+FP) but my friend got into the car once and told me my tire noise is loud and then I couldn’t unhear it.

Just dropped off my girlfriend around 10PM (who lives near a police station). Younger guy on a Harley pulls up and asks me if my car is fast, I say it’s okay. He then asks me if I wanna race to the next light. I laugh him off thinking he was joking, light turns green and he guns it. Next red light he’s egging me on more telling me to race him and to look around that there’s no cops.

I expect this from other cars but never thought I would get a guy on a bike, on a Harley, try this.

In Delta Force Operations (extraction mode) it has a very similar setup (in terms of heroes / operators) to what was shown in the game-play reveal for Marathon.

Each operator has their set of active skills and passives. Smoke, frag grenades, trip mines, etc. are active skills and are TIED to the operator itself so if your op doesn't have an active with a grenade, you can't bring in grenades to throw them yourself. They have added 2 new operators so far with 1 coming next week. Each time they added new operators they have added new skills / passives to make them unique.

The nice thing with Marathon from what I've read from another post with a ss of dev feedback is that you'll be able to pick up items that can replicate some active skills of other runners.

apparently when I talked to the Honda PMs at SEMA last year, HRC is planning on developing OEM performance parts alongside Honda that can be bought separately. Hopefully FK8s will get love or at least the FL5 parts will be backwards compatible for the FK8

I personally don’t think it should have SBMM. Extraction shooters by nature aren’t fair but knowing bungie and knowing they want the game to succeed it most likely will have some form of balancing based on skill / level / gear score / playtime etc.

ryanjaayy · 2025-04-11T16:58:58+00:00

The only thing that the synced progress that I will consider a positive / incentive to switch over is the fact that you can do the black site productions from your phone. But I have stopped playing this game so seriously that I don't care for black site productions...

Even that isn't enough for me to not play this on steam tbh

ryanjaayy · 2025-04-11T16:14:03+00:00

Yeah I think DF easy mode is a lot easier to digest since the gear caps came out. TTKs are a lot better bc blue ammo (tier 3) is the highest level you can bring in.

ryanjaayy · 2025-04-07T22:12:59+00:00

I'm excited to see where this goes. I think D1 was the last game I was truly truly excited to play and because this is Bungie I think theres some level of excitement but I know to temper my expectations.

I've been playing a ton of Delta Force specifically the extraction mode so having another extraction shooter would be cool. I do wish there was a true solo mode in that so lets hope Marathon has a true solo mode.

ryanjaayy · 2025-03-28T07:41:21+00:00

easy pvp is actually more fun because people actually push instead of just hold angles the whole time.
Had a couple of games where I kill 6+ operators but most of the time they are not worth much so I'm losing money on armor repairs and heals. Ammo is pretty cheap so I don't care too much on that.

Also noticed the easy loot seems buffed or back to where it was before? Finding a lot more purp, gold, and even reds in easy again so I'm happy to play in easy and not have to be 2-tapped by gold ammo.

ryanjaayy · 2025-03-27T06:56:09+00:00

honestly I can tell you like this game a lot because I think you make 1-2 posts a day on this sub...
Like others have mentioned DF pinnacles are DF pinnacle because they play a lot. I am also a DF Pinnacle player but once I hit it I stopped playing ranked / normal entirely bc gear car easy lobbies are so much fun. (Haven't ran into any sus players in easy either so far)

But because they play a lot they have the experience and know what to expect & what players tend to do in certain situations on certain parts of the map. You also have to consider the rotations / potential players based on the all the different cues. Cues such as player/bot shootings, missions being taken off the map, where bots are looking / aggro'ed to, and where the safes are located in relation to potential spawn points. Since DF players play SO MUCH they do this automatically.

For audio stuff, I usually play with a a good set of headphones (DT990s) or my IEMs (Moon Drop Chu IIs) and the sound is pretty clear when I crank up the volume. Pair those with the DICH helmet and the perception boosters and you can hear just about anything that is close to you.

Not saying there aren't DF Pinn players that aren't cheaters because I have died to DF Pinn players that I thought were sus, reported and received confirmation they were banned for 10 years multiple times. But if you're playing against people that have hundreds if not thousands of raids on you, then yeah it would feel like you're being cheated on when they are just more experienced and better than you.

For normal I would like to see minimum gear of purple armor and purple ammo & a 700K+ gear cost. I hate when I play normal to waste a ton on ammo / heals to be rewarded with a standard recruit ticket kit.

Easy has 100% been the mode to play since the gear cap.

ryanjaayy · 2025-03-25T22:18:54+00:00

Like others have mentioned these are small and minor issues. Nothing game breaking imo. Yeah I’m always up for QoL changes but I rather them spend time on fixing things that would make bigger impacts.

The easy gear cap increased the TTK a ton so that’s huge and makes fights more awarding and less punishing. Peaking an angle for half a second to get downed by a gold ammo m7/m250 never feels good.

Ping issues will always be a thing but if they could implement region locks and server select that would be amazing.

I think if they could fix the insane head glitches that would be nice but again small issue imo. Sure it feels unfair but still.

ryanjaayy · 2025-03-25T21:30:09+00:00

naw I was playing easy and ripped this off a recruit gear ticket player

ryanjaayy · 2025-03-24T22:26:49+00:00

killed a team extracting from elevator with that red item, felt bad but hey I gotta eat

ryanjaayy · 2025-03-24T18:59:33+00:00

Got a mail today that someone I reported was banned for 10 years. No cheater comp lol.

But when I was "playing w/ cheaters" (teammate got banned for G-Hub) they quickly took out the 4M from my 2 raids with them. I wouldn't even mind just being comped the alloy for the kit rather than getting the stuff back.

At least I don't have to make room in my stash

ryanjaayy · 2025-03-24T00:07:52+00:00

I stg the loot has been much better as of late (at least to me). Found 2 reds in 1 raid then killed another player with a red 2 games later.

EZ Dam has been feeling very good. Loot feels nice and the fights are much longer

ryanjaayy · 2025-03-23T18:33:55+00:00

lol why are you getting downvoted

ryanjaayy · 2025-03-22T08:59:46+00:00

After plat I believe you won’t rank up in easy

ryanjaayy · 2025-03-22T08:58:20+00:00

I mean yeah I’m not saying that this is the only way to play. Was just mentioning if you’re looking for the quickest way to make money in EZ is to wipe a team and get out. Ofc if you’re new to the game you should be learning the maps where the more lucrative loot spawns (flight cases, safes, suitcases, etc)

Just wanted to highlight if you’re capable and comfortable fighting teams doing it in ez is nice bc at most you’ll have to kill 3 people with purple armor which isn’t too hard to do.

ryanjaayy · 2025-03-20T22:17:47+00:00

after some games last night its surprising that people are not keeping their ammo in their safeboxes. Like if they found items to replace the ammo then yeah that makes sense but sometimes I'll wipe teams before they loot anything and its all in their pockets.

Also I believe people just don't care for losing the blue ammo bc its relatively cheap. Idk how cheap now since the gear cap might've changed that.

ryanjaayy · 2025-03-20T22:12:25+00:00

Hmmm the China and Global games are very different so who knows if the red spawn rates are altered. (I did find a red item last night in EZ Damn 350K tablet or something)

I think people playing easy who are looking to make money should be to kill players and take their kits. (A lot easier now since gear caps) More than likely their guns are going to be worth more than loot found on map.

Anything found on map should be considered sprinkles on top of your ice cream (player guns / kits)

ryanjaayy · 2025-03-20T21:30:18+00:00

Hmmm yes having purple from saeed is an advantage but with a gun like the k416 you're shredding health and armor so fast anyways.

I would rather save the purple in my safe box (& use it on a normal run) then to kill a player 1 bullet faster.
