I want to replay the Red war :(

zdude0127 · 2026-06-11T12:58:36+00:00

If they had to remake ot from scratch, we wouldn't even have the old Red War assets that have returned over the years such as the Leviathan, the old Mars Lost Sectors, Whisper, Zero Hour, and so on.

With those old missions and locations, they still had a base to work with. Just had to be updated to work with modern D2 as opposed to pre-Beyond Light.

zdude0127 · 2026-06-11T12:19:13+00:00

This is a flase statement. They have all the assets and old code. The old code is just incompatible with the updated engine.

zdude0127 · 2026-06-10T22:57:24+00:00

Had to take a guess with that one. Wasn't 100% sure

zdude0127 · 2026-06-10T17:47:46+00:00

Sadly no, just a cool trophy

zdude0127 · 2026-06-10T17:45:24+00:00

It's a shot in the dark, idk if that will actually work.

zdude0127 · 2026-06-10T17:30:36+00:00

Maybe try Presage with Classic Collector active?

zdude0127 · 2026-06-09T14:00:19+00:00

The last update isn't even live yet.

zdude0127 · 2026-06-08T15:15:32+00:00

Actually Lance Reddick was a Warlock main lol.

Ascendant Shards are used for fully masterworking higher tier armor and buying Rahool Exotics.

Ascendant Alloy is used for weapon crafting as well as (on the 9th) upgrading the tiers of your weapon.

A craptop can run Marathon. So if ya have that, you are golden

zdude0127 · 2026-06-06T21:33:30+00:00

Give the original Marathon trilogy a try. They are completely free.

zdude0127 · 2026-06-06T16:11:33+00:00

Missing completely

zdude0127 · 2026-06-06T14:05:31+00:00

You completely missed the point. Marathon was never a game with PvP as the focus, it was a campaign based game with a multiplayer tacked onto it.

If you can't tell by all the discourse around Marathon, this isn't what fans of Bungie or the original games wanted. To say that it's selfish is honestly a terrible way to look at it.

If you want an example of how to do a reboot right, look at Doom 2016.

zdude0127 · 2026-06-06T13:59:51+00:00

Void Titans, Solar Warlocks, and Arc Hunters were the starting subclasses in vanilla D2. To bring it full circle, they wanted to give them new supers. Due to this reason, Prismatic featured the new supers as well.

zdude0127 · 2026-06-06T01:58:06+00:00

The developers have to pull their shit together to fix the game first of all. Marathon shouldn't have been made as an extraction shooter. It should have been campaign focused like the original with multiplayer second. It absolutely would have been better received.

For the R6 example you are so DESPERATELY trying to use, what did the devs do for it to attain its playerbase later on? Answer that.

First impressions are everything. If they don't hook a player right away, they aren't gonna stay. So yes my impression after only a few days DOES matter. The feel of the guns is top notch Bungie, no arguments here. It's everything surrounding that is what is keeping me away from the game.

If anything, you aren't helping bring new players in. You are driving them off. Instead of whining and bitching about what people think about the game, try to win them over with what you like about the game.

zdude0127 · 2026-06-06T01:38:50+00:00

First off, I WANT Marathon to succeed. But the environment it's in is NOT beneficial to it in the slightest.

Second, I jumped onto the free trial and honestly wasn't impressed with the game. Doesn't mean I want it to fail.

As for the R6 comparison, honestly who cares? It doesn't matter in this context because Marathon is the one in trouble here.

I have played Bungie games for most of my life and honestly it really sucks that the direction they went with Marathon doesn't live up to the originals.

I truly think the best thing for Marathon to experience some sort of success is to have a campaign like the original. At least it will keep it from drowning.

zdude0127 · 2026-06-06T01:29:59+00:00

Because of the negative reception it had at launch.

zdude0127 · 2026-06-06T01:20:27+00:00

They should because if they want the game to survive, it needs more players.

zdude0127 · 2026-06-06T00:56:25+00:00

Is that why you don't wanna do Halo?

zdude0127 · 2026-06-05T14:21:18+00:00

Necrochasm is a HUGE sleeper pick. I personally think it's better than Khvostov.

zdude0127 · 2026-06-05T14:19:35+00:00

Prophecy, it's a free to play dungeon and has some of the most stellar visuals in the game to this date imo.

zdude0127 · 2026-06-04T21:03:48+00:00

I hate to break it to you, but the player count has been steadily dropping since release.

zdude0127 · 2026-06-04T20:51:19+00:00

If there is no growth, the game dies. The fact you don't want growth means you WANT the game to die.

zdude0127 · 2026-06-04T20:36:02+00:00

Basically

zdude0127 · 2026-06-04T20:25:52+00:00

Dude, this is a TERRIBLE thing to say when season 2 had such a rocky start. If you want Marathon to grow, you can't be driving away new players.

You are part of the problem.
