The people playing seem to genuinely love the game and universe Bungie has made. I love seeing the passion of people excited about something.
I love Marathon. I dont care what you say to me. I will continue to play Marathon. Marathon is cool and fun. Marathon is for everyone.
PvP/PvE is SO addicting. I honestly think this game has potential to dethrone Tarkov as the best extraction shooter of all time. The QOL and what they've already shown is so good.
I LOVE MARATHON. This figure has so much aura.
I'm telling you guys, the Halo love is felt in Marathon. I'm loving this game.
