Kotaku.au: "Yesterday we broke the story that, according to an anonymous source, Bungie was currently working on ‘Destiny’, an MMO with shooter elements. The source also claimed that he, along with roughly 30 other contractors were let go with little notice by Bungie – a claim that Bungie has denied. We’ve now been in contact with another verified source who has further elaborated on Bungie’s treatment of contractors and provided more details."

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.
No suprise, Bungie does not do those kinds of things. Thats Crapovision and other money hogging agencies behavior.
Its funny how these things seem to happen with Crapovision yet when they were with the BIG bad M$ (at least thats wat the're labeld as on this site) These kinds of things never happened, M$ over crapovision anyday...I dont know what Bungie was thinking...
Is this the same bungie staff that worked on the halo games? I cant imagine how people in that company can be happy with corporate suits running up their assess telling them what to do.
One thing microsoft always did right was let Bungie do their own thing and never interfere.
I don't like M$ or Activision. They're both greedy companies who close down studios for no reason at all. However Activision is MUCH worse than M$.
With all of the recent lay-offs it wouldn't surprise me if Bungie was involved since they are now paid my Activision. They basically control Bungie now and if they wanted thirty guys to be let go, then thirty people would've been laid off.
I don't care much about the info on the game though. If it is an MMO, then there WILL be a subscription along with it. Actvision would be running the severs and they won't run them for free. Thus that means I have no interest in the game at all. I never really did though since I'm not going to give Activision another penny. It doesn't matter who made the game, Activision gets most the money from it and I'm not going to support them.
IMO Bungie joining Activsion was a VERY stupid decision on their part.
are both making MMO shooters
Why the hell would Bungie run with Activision haven't they seen what Activision did to Infinity Ward boss's they ran Call of duty series to almost nothing the same COD game over and over again with little improvements to the franchise, but still we buy Activision's games like hot cakes now Activision/Blizzard is going to shutdown Bungie studios when this shooter MMO doesn't live up to the hype.
