Arc Raiders has preemptively killed any hopes this game will ever succeed, which was already in the rounding error of percentiles.

Arc Raiders is great, I don't care for the plot at all though tbh, and the PvP is ass for the most part because everyone just screams "Bro I'm le friendly bro!" its hard for me to want to fight anyone because I feel so bad.

you shouldn't, half of those players in the non Dam areas will just shoot you in the back.

I just bomb the extracts or kill people while they are going up ladders if they ever go to high-gear areas (key card doors), but otherwise Ill help people, its a 50/50 kinda game where maybe there will be pvp , or maybe not, and sometimes I'm the reason there is.

feeling bad is something you gotta let go of.

They obviously took a lot of notes from Arc but im glad they did because this looks a lot better all around. I like that they did some work on the environment and mood because last time the game just looked boring.
Although as a grown man who doesnt have the time to keep up with teenagers playing these pvp games the final playability of it for me will rely on how likely is it for PvE encounters to disrupt PvP encounters. One of the best parts about Arc is that enemies like leapers and rocketeers can cross the map quickly if you aggro them and completely fuck up an entire enemy trio if you successfully use it to escape.
 
This looks way better than what they showed months ago. A lot of people rightfully think this game is DoA but I'll bite the bullet and try it. I still think the character and weapon designs are a negative however.

Oh I get it, the failed 2025 release is like one of the failed timelines in Marathon Infinity, but this time Bungie got it right and there's no way this game could be a massive flop now. Bungie's always been great at ARG promotions but this is ambitious even for them! Bravo Bungie, all you had to do was find yourself, starting back!

It needs arc raider's success in order to break even, though. The 6 months delay must've hit hard financially.

Don't get me wrong, I think it will flop. Frankly, as a massive fan of the original trilogy I want it to flop.

Its the most soulless modern game imaginable, a hollowed out ship of Theses 'd studio reviving an old IP they have no connection to and turning into the latest trend chasing crap with stolen shitty art and ideas. If there is one game that NEEDS to fail it's marathon 2026. more so than anything Ubishit or EA has ever made.
