The problem with Marathon
Is that it’s an extraction shooter.
Honestly, it just looks slow and kind of boring to play. I don’t find inventory management fun.
I love the lore and the aesthetic of the world but I just don’t see this being successful as an extraction shooter.
Probably be way more popular as a sci-fi COD clone where you unlock attachments and upgrades as you rank up.
Maybe add a 6v6 mode with the AI enemies still present, similar to Attrition in Titanfall.

Edited by THEREALLONEWOLFx: 4/25/2025 1:14:10 AMI get Marathon wasn't made for us Destiny players. Bungie proceeds to fly out and has 90% of Destiny streamers to play test and sign NDA's to play... I'm not an extraction shooter player. I never have and never will be, and that's ok. I'm not hating on it. IMHO, I just don't see Marathon succeeding! D2 streamers can gaslight the community into thinking it's going to be a great game. We see through it!

5 RepliesThe problem is not Marathon; it is your expectation of Marathon because you are evaluating it with D2 familiarity. Marathon has to be accepted as an entirely new game just as if it was another game from a different developer. It definitely does NOT need a chaotic 6v6 PvP mode. The game is an extraction shooter, as you acknowledged. The gameplay involves collection and strategy to eliminate AI and other team opponents, not a frantic race to kill them as in D2 PvP. Inventory Management is a short-term problem. The game has been available for only a few days and in the Alpha state. Bungie can reduce the items to be collected, and as players learn the maps and items, they can choose to collect or ignore them. Marathon has enormous potential but is much too early to forecast on how well it will be accepted. No one will know with any degree of certainty until at least a month after its release.

2 RepliesThe problem with Marathon is that Bungie’s management decided to not only divert development resources from Destiny 2 in favor of Marathon, but they did this while the main game was stagnating and yet being overmonetized for less and less content.

jr_0081was Lightfall as bad as we remembered? - old
The problem for me is similar to yours but also I have a problem with the lack of noticeable lore and if you read the lore for the old marathon games, it is pretty good so hopefully they’ll add some sort of campaign or something maybe with a custom runner and it’s only for the campaign and pve modes. But I doubt we get any campaign or pve mode anytime soon -
1 ReplyThey should have expanded the crucible with extraction and royal modes. Now that would be awesome!!!
