so, if you're into marathon like i am, you're probably pretty stoked to hear about the upcoming patches that are gonna shake things up in a major way. basically, the game's devs have been listening to feedback and have decided to make some significant changes to the combat experience. and honestly, it's about time - some of those gadgets were getting way out of hand.

one of the biggest changes is the nerfing of those super powerful bubble shields. i mean, we've all been there - you're in the middle of a fight, and suddenly someone throws up one of those shields and it's like, okay, guess we're just gonna have to wait this one out. it was getting pretty frustrating, so i'm glad to see that they're toning it down a bit. and the knife is also getting a tweak, which is good news for those of us who don't want to get taken out by some sneaky player.
