so i just heard about the new mid-season update for marathon and i'm pretty stoked. apparently, it's bringing some big changes to the game, including some nerfs to certain items that were getting a bit too powerful. i mean, who hasn't gotten frustrated with those claymore drones, right? they're just so annoying to deal with. and thermal scopes are getting a nerf too, which i think is a good call.



i've been hearing a lot of mixed reactions from other players, but overall it seems like people are pretty excited about the update. one of the coolest things is that they're introducing a new experimental game mode where you have to use free sponsored kits. i'm not entirely sure how that's going to work, but it sounds like it could be a lot of fun. and who knows, maybe it'll even encourage players to be a bit more friendly and cooperative.



speaking of being friendly, the update is also emphasizing the importance of being kind to strangers. which, let's be real, is just a good thing in general. i mean, who doesn't love a game where you can just chill and play with other people without getting harassed or anything? it's a pretty cool move by the developers, and i'm interested to see how it plays out. oh, and get this - the game apparently had a budget of $200m, which is just insane. i guess that explains why they're able to keep putting out these big updates and adding new features all the time.



anyway, preorders are available at major retailers, if you're into that sort of thing. personally, i'm just going to stick with playing the game and seeing how the updates go. i'm a bit curious about the whole cheating situation, though - apparentlyRead more: Full article on www.eurogamer.net
