Marathon Gameplay details and Info...

Marathon is a new new extraction FPS game from Bungie which could be HUGE based on what they said. Interesting stuff! Leave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching.

As a guy with over 3000 hours in Destiny - and used to Bungie's up and downs - I am incredibly cautious and optimistic. More cautious.

This actually looks really interesting, gonna speed run being world’s first to find the Gjallarhorn 🤣

Marathon was one of Bungie's first games from 1994, it was one of the first FPS on Mac

As a main tarkov player. I think that they desperately need a competitor. I think that building it from the ground up is the right idea. I also think (while people take issue with it sometimes) the futuristic style can help out so much with the PVE and systems. Trying to be too “realistic” can mess with core gameplay in a way that isn’t helpful.

With how great the marathon original story was, I hoped they would retell that story. Gaming has come a long way since the original and not many people played it in the first place

The amount of times I've rewatched the trailer, its just so aesthetically pleasing. As a gaming addict and artist as well, this makes me happy in ways i cannot describe

I knew a lot about Marathon as a franchise before Bungie went to Halo, but I wish this could have been a single player driven experience instead of an extraction game. Bungie hasn't made a fully focused single player game since Halo Reach, and I honestly miss how they crafted their single player games. I hope it's a good game for those who enjoy the extraction genre at the very least.

The persistent zones will likely be much like "The Cycle: Frontier" which would be awesome as that means 0 matchmaking downtime.

I always feel like people forget the OG Extraction Shooter, the Dark Zone from The Division/2. It had its own problems for sure but still the best take on it in my opinion.

I heavily recommend watching MandaloreGaming's reviews of each game in the Marathon trilogy if you haven't yet. These games are completely unique and full of interesting lore

I'm kind of scared they're turning this into an extraction shooter... I hope they do keep in mind the vibes/lore behind the rest of the series and not just turn it into a mindless looter shooter with no personality

I’m a big fan of the original Marathon trilogy. While this game looks cool and I definitely want to play it, I am disappointed that the first new Marathon game in nearly 30 years is so dissimilar from all the others.

A PvP extraction shooter seems like a REALLY odd choice for a Marathon reboot.

Anybody who's played the original Marathon series from the '90s knows that the story mode was easily the coolest part. It was basically Halo before Halo was a thing.

I hope Bungie expands on this and gives us a new singleplayer Marathon experience in the future.

I’m pretty excited about this. As a long-time fan of Destiny and Halo, I know that this studio is capable of making some really incredible experiences (Halo 3, Forsaken, and Witch Queen all come to mind). Even a game like Destiny 2, which has had plenty of ups and downs over the years, manages to maintain a strong following due to the amazing gameplay alone. Seeing Bungie apply everything they’ve learned about shooters to an entirely different sub-genre will be surreal.

This is more exciting now that I know its an actual attempt at a dedicated extraction game by a big studio. The only FPS I play right now is Hunt Showdown. I just love the extraction genre.

[amdiz]

The Marathon series from back in the 90s was amazing. I really enjoyed gaming on my Mac back then.

[Alva_Lombax]

im going to take a wild guess, given that they used the term "fog of war", everyone that played a RTS game knows its the game not allowing you to see anything thats not in the visual range of your units

taking CoD's DMZ as a comparison, expecially in Akisha Island, if you read the map well enough, you can pinpoint other players pretty easily

so maybe the idea here is pushing the feel of no info while going around the map

[AgentBacalhau]

I'm definitely conflicted, while I do like extraction shooters and this game looks very good, I'd like for this to be another big game studio taking a stab at the retro FPS like it happened with modern Doom, which would be more connected to the original Marathon in style.

[make.one.studio]

The art style alone got me interested! Cautiously optimistic on this one!

[thedeceptivekhan]

Been a Bungie fan going all the way back to Pathways Into Darkness for MacOS. This is why Sony bought Bungie. Super stoked for this.

I really hope if your notoriety is high enough boss music starts playing when you join the server
