Maybe they should of done an offline aspect instead of making it a full on MMO. I bet they could of made a great single player....least have it optional.

NYC_Gamer4821d ago (Edited 4821d ago )

I believe all the huge online fps titles will adopt the MMO model..It really makes perfect sense because fans of the genre love being connected online with other players anyway.

Root4821d ago

Yeah but after the SimCity thing you don't want them to take any chances

Besides I'm not a fan of MMOs...a lot of people arn't but they are fans of Bungie.

Least then it might encourage to want to go online more after the single player part, help them get into it more.

RTheRebel4821d ago (Edited 4821d ago )

This game is gonna be epic.

Knight_Crawler4821d ago

I agree but I really wish it was not MMO...dont get me wrong I do not have anything against MMO but they are not my cup of tea.

Also I wonder what will happen to Bungie if this game bombs, I dont expect it to do Halo numbers but Activion will not be happy if it does not do those numbers.

Amazing can wait to bad its a xbox exclusive for a whole year

vividi4821d ago

I think is not an exclusive

Eldyraen4821d ago

I'm pretty sure Bungie announced no timed exclusivity for consoles at launch anymore during PS4 announcement. That's what I gathered anyways.

aliengmr4821d ago (Edited 4821d ago )

I read somewhere they decided to do a timed exclusive with MS for a year, then release it on PS. That was the last thing I read after the PS4 announcement.

What I read could have been wrong, but I am sure that I read it right.

Eldyraen4820d ago

@Aliengmr: That was the original plan, didn't hear about anything new since PS4 reveal so may have to look it up for myself.

Godmars2904821d ago

Until they have to worry about the servers. Like say launch day.

And it'll be too late...

jmac534821d ago

Bungie is one company I would trust with the online capabilities. All of the Halo titles ran flawlessly online.

aliengmr4821d ago

Yea, but they didn't have every single person who bought it on at one time. Halo also wasn't a persistent MMO either.

Not saying they can't handle it, but its not the same as standard online MP.

rainslacker4821d ago

Pretty sure all the Halo titles used P2P connections which involve minimal server capabilities when it comes to online.

But yeah, I would trust Bungie not to screw up...unfortunately Activision will be running the servers, and them I don't trust as much. Although I would assume they have a few resources to get it right since they own Blizzard as well.

Its neat especially since not everyone might have two friends playing it. Makes it more personal to go at in duos.

Inverno49d ago

It's 2026 and basic match making features in MP games are still being drip fed to an audience that still gets excited over said basic feature being implemented.

Marathon hands-on preview | Notebookcheck

Darryl Linington from Notebookcheck.net writes: "Early hands-on time with Marathon, spanning roughly 10 hours, points to a distinctive extraction shooter with strong shell-based class design, layered faction progression, surreal presentation, and a dense UI that still needs smoothing out."

Almost 16,000 reviews on Steam currently has the game sitting on a very positive 90% Not sure if it has the player numbers but those who are playing seem to be enjoying themselves.

Putte82d ago

And as of now a 5.1 user score on metacritic. Really bad.

LiViNgLeGaCY82d ago

On Steam, you have to have bought the game, in order to play. On metacritic, ANYONE can review it. I'll leave it for you to decide which one matters more.

MrNinosan82d ago

Trolls on Metacritic, must be a new thing or you were born yesterday

The game is really really bad. So generic boring and lifeless. UI is terrible. Bad and slow gameplay. Not sure who gives the go ahead for these games. Insane all that money companies just throw away for no reason. Nobody a asking for these games

LiViNgLeGaCY82d ago

You haven't played it. That much is apparent from your comment. Gameplay is FAR from slow and boring. I do agree the UI definitely needs to be re-worked. But then again, you're just repeating a complaint you're reading about, not actually experiencing.

MrNinosan82d ago

Can you show any proof you've actually played it, by sharing your PSN ID or Steam profile? Nah, guessed as much.

Outside_ofthe_Box82d ago

Gunplay is the best thing about the game. To call it bad is wrong. Just because it isn't a twitch shooter doesn't mean it's slow, not everything has to play the same. Everything else is generic I agree.

Flenter82d ago

Yes I am. But tell me ,with goty games do you play? Have you even played Marathon? If not ...S T F U!!
So sick and tired of the hate BS 🤮🤮
