Will do, took you long enough! Dont forget to add folks from the post as well.

Just catching up with all the news, everything looking good. FTP for a full week is the correct play for sure. Hopefully pick up a few more players.

I'll update the OP once all the new info is out.
 
Very2 happy with what they've revealed for s2. Cradle system is interesting that its tied to dismantling gear, will definitely increase my playtime. Night marsh looks amazing, didnt expect it to go pitch black, was hoping it would. And I like that they continue to tweak the existing map, at least they dont feel stale while waiting for new maps to drop.

People speculating the butt hurt Destiny 2 fans will download just to leave a negative Steam review.

I think this is going to backfire on Bungie.

Completely retarded move releasing the D2 news the week before this. Convinced they are actually mentally ill over at Bungo. Should have been done months ago.

Dude, i've played plenty of PvP shooters in the past, and today i play plenty of boomer shooters, my problem with these types of games today isn't strictly speaking PvP or multiplayer, but the way they're done. Fast paced action isn't an issue, dont mind sucking at it either.

So, if i do have to play one of these two anyway - assuming it crosses the mark, honestly i still dont think this is enough to cross 50k, maybe 30k or 40k - i'd rather it be Marathon so i can educately make fun of its downfall.

I do not. I have him muted. I only saw the last bit of your comment that I quoted which sounded like "I want to see this game fail" kind of drivel.

We made a bet of whether Marathon can manage to cross over the 50k ccu barrier from that moment until season 5 comes. Whoever wins gets to make the other either play a game of the winners choosing (with some rules) or use an avatar of his choice for an year, whichever the loser prefers.

Bold of you both to assume we make it to season 5.

50kccu is definitely doable if the PvE comes soon enough and is robust.
 
Ah nevermind. My current life situation doesn't lend itself to this game as I learned (again) this afternoon. Too many distractions causing dumb shit to happen in-game. I'm down for the count, oh well.

I assume Men_in_Boxes Men_in_Boxes won't use a technicallity to chicken out if the game does shut down before season 5 without crossing 50k ccu.

If it does, i doubt it'll be within the year. They wanted this to be their PvP game alongside Destiny 2's PvE, but are probably now scrambling to turn it into a Destiny 3.

Don't really do CCU chat as there's a lot more to it than "number big" good, "number small" bad but It should do 50k at season 2 Launch with the FTP.

The spanner in the works is YT hate farming over Destiny. Might save you from a fate worse than death, losing to Men_in_Boxes Men_in_Boxes

Are you saying not playing Marathon a fate worse than death?
 
Looking forward to see what they can cook up for Season 3 and Season 4.... with having the whole team working on Marathon.

More modes. New Maps. More Shells. PvE loops. More End-Game. More Loot. More events.

Something as simple as Solo - Cryo would go a long way.

Im excited to see aswell, because there are more people working on it than ever so if S2 is this meaty, S3 and 4 will be even better
 
This is going to be a blood bath with the free week. You can reset progression but you can't reset experience and map knowledge.

Presumably we'll just level faster leaving the noobs to themselves.

Been a long time coming, hopefully they did a decent pass on performance.

Even without any improvements, i'll be over 150 fps all the time with 2x framegen

Been playing with smooth motion on one of my laptops

Honestly wasnt as bad as i thought. Fucked up HDR and had some ghosting so be nice to use proper x2.
It was much more preferable to dips into the 50''s though.

2x is just so nice now. Im playing 007 at 160fps maxed out with lightning fast responsiveness with 0 downsides. So im really happy that FG finally comes. It will look and feel much better playing outpost or cryo
