Bungie unleashes a Massive Pre-ComiCon Scrolltacular in the Weekly Update. Warning: Reading Glasses recommended. Again.
Happy Friday and welcome to the Bungie Weekly update my friends. Would you believe that we have a mere eight more updates left between now and the release of Reach? The project is steadily winding down but that doesn’t mean we’re winding down on things to talk about. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
It’s been a busy week and after a helping hand from Luke last Friday (who also steps up in a big way today), I’m back in the saddle and ready to quite possibly drop one of the biggest and most jam packed updates in Reach history. Get comfortable, we’ve got a lot to cover! (honestly, probably TOO much to cover, but seeing as this is the last update I’ll be spearheading for a while, I’m pulling out all the stops so Urk can’t possibly top this down the road).
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.
Great update :)
This Spartan looks freaking awesome!
That was an awesome update. Tons of info, I'm surprised they showed all the initial armory offerings. I wonder what that utility option is for. Reach is just getting better and better as time goes on. I can't wait to get my hands on day 1. Avatar unlocks is pretty cool too. It took two guys 5 hours to beat the first mission on legendary (with all skulls)! I probably won't even try that though.
One of the best Bungie Updates I've ever seen. So much info.
