r/Marathon

Just. Why.

Is there a reason for this? Why cut it off before the end of the weekend? Sunday's are one of my only days completely off. But I can't run Cryo. This is aside from the argument that I think cryo should always be open, if you're going to restrict it, why keep it closed for the majority of one of the days almost everyone has off? It feels too limiting for someone who just wants to engage with the game.

Its so cool to think of how the developers intended for us to play this and expected how we would feel playing the game would be. The lore written for us being in a loop as well as being this shell is so fucking meta,cool, smart, and fun. It gives meaning as to why we would keep running other than just hitting "start" again.

We run, because we are shells. We may get bits of discomfort and angry, but it is momentary. We keep running because we are in debt, we have desire to keep finding what is waiting for us. Some of us are looking for the reason - and Durandal answers that call and sees our potential. Some of us just want to watch others burn.

"The Marathon. Are they worth your everything?" for me it is worth all that I lose. I dont care about making other shells suffer. I do want to uncover all bits of lore and see whats there.

If anyone wants to run cryo and help a fellow runner see whats waiting out there, reach out :).

I've only done 3 key rooms. I'll be running.

Everyone has their theory for why this game is dying, I have another to add to the mix.

I was just called the n word over proximity voice chat and have no way to report the player. No match history to see which specific player it was, and no report option for abuse over voice comms. This is appalling for a game in 2026 and if it's completely unactionable is going to make marginalised folk steer clear of multiplayer interactions.

Happened to me a few times already and again on outpost. I was running around getting three red keys and after my third I got unlucky and ganked by bots. went down and died and teammate looted me before rezzing me. I literally only had a knife and he gave nothing back. How does that actually help anyone??? Also just flat out ignored me when I asked for my shit back.

Title really, I am not great at extraction shooters and especially marathon. I love the gunplay,art style and story but it honestly just feels pointless playing the extraction mode for me. Just go in and die simulator on repeat. I am trying to focus more on getting contracts and things that are easier to progress but its only fun to a point. Obviously the odd lucky run is fun but its so extremely rare I just don't even factor it in anymore.

The thing only works if you hit all the headshots, for witch aim assist is required, and even then the gun has the longest TTK among all the guns except for maybe CE)))

Hey guys, new to the game and started playing ranked. First few games I died to enemies with gold shields. Felt like no matter how many times I hit them I could not crack them where as I die instantly.

i'm an assassin main and im fed up with these behaviors from other players when i queue alone
(( fyi i only queue alone for trios fill. solo is boring n i think assassins with friends are *******!!

- every time i solo queue trios (which is EVERY time i play) i get teammates with nice kits that sigh when they see my loadout. as an assassin main, i prefer to run free kit. its not my fault you bring gear. i will find it as i go

- stop asking me to use the mic. as an assassin main, i find mics useless until the very end of the match when i yell at my teammates before i leave game. people need to know that they suck and won't get better.

- bouncing off the point above, i'm sick of my teammates asking me to stick together. as an assassin main, im better off alone. maybe you should've queued solos instead of trios!!! not my fault you chose this mode

- PLZ stop pinging. it's annoying. i don't care where people are. i put 0 points in my cradle, so no, i won't ping for you. and im going out of my way to ignore your pings (((bungie plz let me disable ping)))

- finally STOP telling me to WASTE MY AMMO fighting when i can go invisibles and loot around while YOU fight, further MIN-MAXXING my profits. i queued alone so no i'm not fighting for YOU

plz forgive my grammar. as a lone wolf assassin main i struggle reading

I was a Sentinel. Saw you standing on something near the eastern stretch of the data wall. You didnt shoot on sight and, coming off a few rook runs, i met you and we teamed up. Most of our run was just sharing loot, but then we popped the guarded exfil. See the problem with some of us is we have Spectrum, and Spectrums WIFI is straight up narcoleptic​. So no sooner had the UESC turned up then my connection straight up vanished. I wrote off the run, but still reconnected. Downed, but I expected that. I turn to see you still by me, spitting volt fire at the bots and tell you to run. BUT NO. YOU MERCY ME AND WE ANNIHILATE THE REST OF THE UESC TOGETHER. We exfil like we own then place. Youre a class act, friend. Hope to see you out there again.

Somehow ended up doing vault 6 and killing a full gold team. Got the 40k as well. This game is better than sex.
