This game really deserves to be praised

As the title says. There is something truly remarkable about this game that goes beyond the immaculate gun play, striking visuals and deep sound design. While yes there are certain flaws of course, no game is perfect at the end of the day, I do find myself being really excited with what they’ll choose to explore in future seasons given the rich lore of Marathon.

I keep replaying the time where my squad and I activated the Sekiguchi anomaly lockdown quest on Night Marsh and just taking a second to take in the towering red barrier in the dark forest area of Night Marsh with all the horrifying sounds going on in the background that were all interrupted by the intense bullet storm that followed.

I am by no means a great player, but decent enough to extract tons of fun out of this wonderful game.

What moments have stuck with y’all so far?

Idea for a more accessible Cryo while keeping the extraction shooter system.

Hey y’all. So I’ve been thinking about something that could be interesting for Cryo.

Since it is essentially a gamble with how much loadout value you’re willing to wager, wouldn’t it be fun if say you could select varying ranges of buy ins? For example if you don’t want to wager more than 2K, a range can be 0-2K, then 2-5K and then 5 and above being regular Cryo with normal loot quality whereas the lower ranges would have the loot scaled back accordingly.

I’m no game designer or anything, but I feel like the lower ranges would allow players that aren’t sitting on tons of mizzys to try out the map without the threat of being deleted by a squad of purple/gold mizzys. Plus the lower ranges would be an ideal place to learn how the map works, figure out tactics for your squad and eventually work your way up to the regular blood bath of Cryo!

I’m saying this because while I have tons of hours and do decently well on all the other maps, I can’t seem to do anything productive on Cryo before getting nuked to the high heavens and its a shame because Cryo is such a well designed map.

Anyways just my 2 cents, let me know what y’all think!
