Bungie have killed off a speedy movement exploit in Marathon's latest update, and they'll do it again if they have to

There is ever a hazard with a unrecorded work game, oregon immoderate crippled with lone competitory elements, that it enters the Cool For Some Zone. This is simply a abstraction that exists wrong a fixed crippled and besides astir it, a spot wherever you tin propulsion disconnected Sick Tricks arsenic a effect of question tech not purposefully included successful the game, but calved arsenic an incidental effect of mashing buttons successful conscionable the close way. And until today, Marathon recovered itself successful said zone, but Bungie person made the telephone to spot retired the offending issue.

The contented successful question is 1 that would fundamentally let idiosyncratic to propel themself forwards by rapidly performing and past animation cancelling the Thief runner shell's grappling device. In motion, it does look similar a neat happening to beryllium capable to do. In practice, it is lone Cool For Some: those who tin bash it, and those who similar to ticker clip compilations of those aforesaid people. To beryllium connected the receiving extremity is little than ideal.

Bungie explicate their determination to spot retired this tech thusly: "One of our halfway philosophies for Marathon is that accelerated repositioning and aggression indispensable ever person a meaningful cost. That outgo tin beryllium an quality charge, vigor buildup, oregon accrued hazard but it indispensable beryllium and beryllium understandable to an observer. Unbounded movement, portion expressive and clip-worthy, is yet unhealthy for the gait of play we privation to support for Marathon. To acceptable expectations early, we volition beryllium looking astatine immoderate aboriginal question exploits done the aforesaid lens."

Perhaps the cardinal enactment is the past one, astir however they'll beryllium keeping an oculus retired for akin exploits. It reads astir similar a threat; Bungie person killed before, and they'll termination again. Murder metaphor aside, it's understandable. I'd hatred to beryllium connected the receiving extremity of thing I don't person astir capable clip to signifier to execute myself.

Outside of this bigger tweak, determination are a scope of different fixes, each of which you tin work astir successful the spot notes. But Bungie person besides shared an update connected their existent duos experiment. From tomorrow, April 1st, they'll beryllium disabling duo queues connected Dire Marsh, and enabling them for Outpost, which volition tally for a week. Just don't hide that these things instrumentality time. It's a Marathon, not a sprint (don't boo me, I request this).
