[quote]Is the hate warranted? Is everyone just jumping on the bandwagon? What would make it better? What does the gaming industry need? To make gaming great again? No live service? No microtransactions? Full campaign? What will it take....[/quote] Depends, I personally think that it doesn't have the sustainability (from what I have seen of a few hours of gameplay) needed to last. The maps look too small (scale wise) for the type of game it is. I haven't seen anyone going prone which limits certain play styles (sniping from a vantage point). It also seems certain weapons are better used against players than NPCs which could create metas as the range of engagement tends to be closer distances. Other notable factors is that I didn't see damage numbers when players were doing damage which is important for players to know what guns are better options. Marathon looked as though it is a watered down version of a Battle Royale (in some areas and a extraction shooter on others) without the choice of where you spawn. I haven't seen what happens when the match timer runs out or if it's just better to bring minimalist gear and forgo trying to bring you best items.
