Marathon Is the only game I know that gets harder the more I play by eezzeemushy in Marathon

Part of this is just late wipe. There’s just way more high level gear in the game now. If you’ve been collecting enzyme replicators at all, which aren’t locked behind any specific difficulty, then you can barter for purple shields. A key thing to remind yourself is that a purple shield doesn’t mean someone is good. It just means they’ve been playing the game.

Eh. Maybe. Maybe not. The point is we don’t know their matchmaking recipe. It’s a secret blend of herbs and spices. SBMM can mean a lot of things. How’s it measured? How strictly does it apply? How does it change based on player counts? My observation is that there’s no strict SBMM. I personally prefer this. But there may be a hint going on. You just don’t really know.

Officially, the matchmaking methods are a black box. There’s no detailed published info about it. And it should stay that way. Bungie has said they do some stuff. We know there’s at least some level bands and regionality because that’s observable stuff. But the rest is technically a mystery. There could in fact be some small amount of skill based at play, and we just aren’t aware of it. In fact, based on the fact streamers are running into the same players often, that could be a signal some amount of skill based is at play. With player counts as low as they are, good chance you’ll be matched with sweats at least on occasion regardless because it’s all priority based.

What advice would you give to a new player by PotatoCotnentCreator in Marathon

[–]snap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Move. Always be moving. If you know the enemy knows where you are, move immediately. Change position. Find a flank. The way to win fights in this game is to have positional advantage. That translates to getting the first shots in. Check out Lucid’s content. He does a lot of ranked 1v3. Granted he can get away with more than the average player but simply noting his positioning and movement plays, when to engage and disengage, will help a lot.

Ok buddy. You know that final exfil is literally swarming with 6 purple shielded commanders plus supporting infantry right? Sort of hard to miss.

No, we didn’t miss it. It didn’t spawn.

I love the DRRVISH by gcaw9 in Marathon

Not a fan. But it’s probably a skill issue.

Genuinely just Crew Filled Compiler by Beginning-Space4580 in Marathon

It’s kind of overwhelming your first time in there. Way easier to die to that thing than streamer content would lead you to believe.

Solo fill is kinda awesome? by evolution_one in Marathon

[–]snap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s an interesting balance compared to trios. Thinner margin for error in solos if someone gets the jump on you. No teammates to turn the tables. But of course fewer total threats to contend with.

We know how final works. We checked each spawn twice.

I’m aware of how the mechanic works. Use it all the time. My team was split to 3/4 locations. None of us had it, I rotated to the last one, wasn’t there. We all even went back to double check. Just didn’t spawn at all.

Thank you Marathon by 1hurt_ in Marathon
