Now Marathon is open to everybody, so I'm going to talk about it.

I played 17 hours solo, and it was a miserable, sweaty experience, with a very low time-to-kill with excruciating respawn/matchmaking times when player count is low. The art direction is beautiful in theory, but the bland flat map design and inscrutable UI does it no justice.

I don't think I went a single round where something worth recording happened. It is just not at all geared for the kind of social dynamics in ARC Raiders
