Max Level: Destiny, Bungie’s first venture into game development since their permanent departure from the blockbuster video game franchise, Halo – with 2010′s Halo: Reach being their last entry in the series. Ever since the release of Halo: Reach, Bungie has been hard at work on their new first-person shooter IP, that has the potential to transcend the genre to new heights, heights that Halo couldn't even reach (pun not intended). Since Bungie has made nothing but Halo games since 2001, some gamers feel that the AAA game developer has become too accustomed to producing Halo games, and that it will negatively affect their creativity. After playing the alpha for Destiny, let me be the first to say that you have nothing to worry about.
The Marathon Duo queue test ends as Bungie confirms its return in Season 2, with new experimental playlists already on the way.

Its neat especially since not everyone might have two friends playing it. Makes it more personal to go at in duos.
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.
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.
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.
Replies(1)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
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.
Can you show any proof you've actually played it, by sharing your PSN ID or Steam profile? Nah, guessed as much.
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.
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 🤮🤮
Bungie has fully settled the Destiny 2 Red War copyright lawsuit with writer Matthew Martineau, ending a year-long legal fight.
PvP Multiplayer is going to surprise a lot of people
I have been having a hard time playing anything else since the Alpha ended.
I'm so ready for Destiny, it was refreshing. And the dude above talking about the PvP, you gotta remember it was only one match type. I didn't find it stale or lackluster. If you didn't play it right and capture/fight for the points than I can see how it could be lackluster. Seemed to focus on teamwork more. You can't just go off and do your own thing.
They should fix the radar though. Like when your crouched or don't shoot they can't see you. I'm pretty sure it shows up when they come near every time.
Totally looking forward to this game! great impression!
