Marathon |OT| A Shell of its Former Self.

Turret class
Yeah first thing I thought when I read the name.

Btw from the image we get it looks like that runner shell that first appeared when bungie announced the game or at least similar.

I'm guessing we start getting the Pfhor after three or four seasons. Maybe to kick off year two. Can't wait to see how they've been redesigned and updated. They were goofy as hell in the originals.

Isn't that just the Recon class we have now?
 
I dunno I was looking at the helmet from the roadmap image and it kinda looks similar. But yeah maybe its the recon class before the updates to it, no idea.
To me this seems like the Recon class before they updated it.

It looks very just "human" with stuff added on as opposed to the shell styles we have now.
 
This dude's posts read like a Grummz copypasta. Sure, we all love bitching about woke, but be careful about inventing it where it doesn't exist. Into the iggy bin you go.

Now seriously: that's complete bullshit. The characters are made androginous in this and many other games just because of wokism, it's what they call it "to make them more inclusive and trans friendly".

Giving to male looking robots more male face and body proportions and giving the female looking robots more female proportions, plus to don't give lipstick color to the male looking ones would only require minor changes, would continue fitting perfectly this universe and would make the characters more appealing and cool instead of cringe inducing.

Not only to heterosexual males, but also to female. Both heterosexual and LGTB.


Yes, the characters of that video are older versions of the ones we have now.


I loved the weapon design in the server slam, all of them looked very cool. Specially when unlocking skins for them.
Can you kindly fuck off to one of the other threads and stop filling the OT with your nonsense, thanks
 
No, because all characters having ugly and androginized cringe inducing faces and bodies made like that on purpose, designed on purpose to don't be appealing to white heterosexual males, like the rest of the recent woke games.

I'm talking about bossy and manly females with male face structure traits, male shoulder to shoulder distance, flat chested, male waist and hips. Plus males with lips painted, female face and body structure traits, female/gay poses. Plus to make color palelte with the colors of the trans flag and another with the colors of the bisexual flag.

I'm tired of that and want appealing, attractive, cool and charismatic characters instead. Which yes, means manly chad males and hot women with boobs, which is what everybody prefers and are the archetypes typically most popular in all games. And are key for games whose monetization depend on liking characters. And obviously attractive and cool characters fit perfectly in this or any other universe.
you sound like a fucking retard
 
Humans remember only the bittersweet memories so whatever might become of this, whatever the constellations hold secret, the sub-routines may reset or even end, I'll always remember this game for it's uniqueness, wild swaths of creativity, art, technology and fiction raining like teardrops on a vast canvas to perform an orgy so wild, so organic whilst the electronic track echoes in all Tau Ceti and the heart clenching gunplay that breaks it all apart.

Godspeed on the release, Bungie! Congratulations!

The characters are made androginous in this and many other games just because of wokism, it's what they call it to make them more "inclusive", less sexualized (understanding heterosexual sexuality and attraction as something bad) and trans friendly (as if trans would prefer to be ugly and androginous instead of sexy, when like everybody else want to play good looking idealized avatars of themselves).

Giving to male looking robots more male face and body proportions and giving the female looking robots more female proportions, plus to don't give lipstick color to the male looking ones would only require minor changes, would continue fitting perfectly this universe and would make the characters more appealing and cool instead of cringe inducing.

Where the fuck did you come from and where have you been all this time?

Poetry. I'll stick in in the OP somewhere.

Dude. It's an FPS game. You play a gun. You can imagine you're literally anything you want. Anything your mind can imagine, you can be. Imagine you're a manly man with big voluptuous boobs or whatever you described up there.

I can't believe we've come to demonizing a fucking colour wheel.

ANYWAYS

Free seasonal updates is a nice and awesome surprise.
 
Any word on the official OST release?
I haven't heard or seen anything yet, unfortunately. But I have a feeling it'll appear around the game's release. At least I hope so, lol.

You know things aren't looking good when a Mod gotta lead with a reminder.

I mean, the unfortunate trend has gotten really out of hand. So, I'm glad that a thread can remain that feels like a standard GAF thread before the whole weird dogpiling nonsense started happening.

Just let me have my safe space. It's all I have left.
For real, lol.
 
After making that Highguard thread I gave us some breathing room boys. All the goblins will flock there .

Wild too it's my most engaged with thread I've ever made.

Hope Marathon just lives at or above Hunt levels of success.

And flock they did, lmao. I can't say I'm surprised. A certain amount of related keywords will guarantee high traffic it seems, unfortunately lol.

that's what I'm hoping for. I don't need it to be a big gang buster or something, but I'd love for it to exist and continue to, much like Hunt. Hoping the same thing for Hunger when it drops as well, even if I haven't even touched it yet, lol.

To my credit someone on here used that crazy funny Geoff gif of him getting slapped punched and blown up.

That guy needs to not even utter Marathons name. Guy is a fucking jinx.

It is fitting that you got to make the thread since you seemed to be the one who played and enjoyed it the most. Poetic, even. There's also a CCU thread already going for additional containment. I ain't clicking that shit. Probably many more drama threads to come. Bungie will inevitably shoot themselves in the foot sooner or later. I love them but they'll always be a hot mess.

I had to put my boy down. No one else should get the honor.

40 hours. Loved it but I'm not an idiot once the CCU tanked I disengaged and went back to deadlock.

Even if marathon failed somehow we always have deadlock boys.
 
Fuck what the reviewers say, fuck the haters, I feel it in my bones. Bungie has got a gem of a game for us. Believe.
All of us on the Marathon train will be quick to call the game out if it doesn't turn out as expected, these are the only opinions that matter.

Fully expecting this to take over my gaming time for a while at the very least. Shits absolute fire.

That gif earned my respect with the ragdoll at the end of it, lmao.

Yeah, thankfully the game will be out soon and I haven't seen or hear that guy say the name, ever. Lol.

Right? I felt the same way, haha.

Yeah, unfortunately. It's not going to slow down anytime soon. Yeah, I love that there are still some folks from the old guard at Bungie, regardless of them being messy. I'd like to think if they're able to get the game out (which they will) it'll only get better and better with time. I still respect the hell out of them for doing what they've done with the game's look and aesthetic and everything. People will say it's passionless, lazy, etc. But it's clear that it is totally opposite. It has a specific look and vibe because they wanted that for the IP and the universe. It looking the way it does and being a big budget/AAA title alone is rare AF these days. It was a huge and bold decision on their part, I'm sure they knew the reaction would be divisive.

Lots of SP games coming out and even out right now that I want to get to but unfortunately it all goes on the back burner. It will be nothing but Marathon for a while.

Once I've mainlined Marathon for a while remind me to tap you up for an invite to that game if you don't mind.

It's not our first rodeo, lol.

Hell, it's happened to so many titles I enjoyed, if it happens again I'll survive, lol. Shadowrun, Nosgoth, and Rumbleverse to name a few. It's surely going to happen again, unfortunately. But it's never THAT big of a deal, chalk it up as a shame, and move on.

I still need to properly play Deadlock. I've just been waiting for it to officially launch before jumping in.

I'm just really eager to see Marathon do its thing and hopefully sustain, but we'll see!

LMAO, get one of those under desk treadmills, and put on a video of a squirrel
 
Hey where's that list for people to group up in the OT? How do we wanna do that?
Ill need peoples Bungie ID's so crossplatform folk can add people easy. That can be found ingame or on Bungos website.

I think this will be the easiest way, not sure if you can search crossplatform tags in game. Might be best to wait till launch to see.

If people mention me with that info in here and ill add the willing to the second post. Take up on these kinda things is usually quite low as people get all shy but if anyone fancies it hit me up
