I'd like to see a Marathon Security helmet as a mask for this year's Festival of the Lost (heck, maybe even a full-fledged Exotic helmet)!
For those of you who don't know what Marathon is, it's a trilogy of games that were created by Bungie in 1994-1996. It's the first part in the trinity of Bungie games featuring a blank protagonist and crazy AI shenanigans. The story is simple at the beginning, but it quickly throws your mind for a spin in Durandal and Infinity. [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_(video_game)]Here's the wiki if you want to read into it[/url].
You're probably wondering: Why is this guy wanting some helmet from a game 20+ years ago?
Well, in July, Bungie announced that they were celebrating their 25th anniversary of making games. During those years, they have quietly put references to their past in their new games. This year also marks the 20th anniversary of Marathon: Infinity, the final game of the trilogy. What's a better way to celebrate the past than to give the players a piece of history? To add to that, a main component of Rise of Iron is the feeling of nostalgia, so a throwback to the old days would be awesome for a lot of the Bungie fans [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Profile/254/1189677]who have been here for so long[/url].
[spoiler]If any of you are interested in playing the Marathon trilogy, here's a post that will help you get set up for some gaming: https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/15287/135899252/0/0 [/spoiler]

I would love to walk the catwalk in in good 'ol retro fashion. I'm very please with the feedback I've observed for ideas on this year's upcoming "[i]Festival of the Lost[/i]" event. [spoiler]The [redacted] team should mayhaps take this into consideration while there is still time for design inquiries. Quick, someone send them snacks.[/spoiler]

Edited by J Stevensontown: 8/23/2016 7:21:04 PMVery creative. Love the art work. That being said.. If Bungie spends time & my money on another bland ridiculous reskinned bullshit "dlc" money grab, I personally will not be happy. It was not a festival, it was not content, it was not fun... All it was, was a cash grab with minimum effort. & now my vault is how ever many helmets less space.. they should have made a kiosk, but, you know, bumgie..... Ohh, & rng with our real money is a sick fvcking joke.....

2 RepliesThe only thing I want from the festival of the lost is the ability to delete that crap from my inventory without having to actually use it.

1 ReplyEven better!!! They could just skip it, and spend that time patching the inevitable bugs in the expansion.

1 ReplyI don't care what they do as long as all masks are available in game and if they do make one purchasable only it's not randomized. Wasted my free silver and got two travelers masks. Guaranteed I won't spend anything on silver ever.

6 RepliesEven if it had no armor stat I would rock Marathon. Speaking of, I can't believe I never see people with the blue flaming skull. I never got one, but it didn't destroy it at the end of the festival, did it?

How about instead of some super Weak attempt at content like Festival Of The Lost was/ sparrow racing... they add something relevent for the people that aren't 12 yr olds Or fatguys in parents basements "ooh'ing" and "ahhing" over worthless gear with no stats. I don't mind taking those moronic micro transactions out for a season pass ( that almost all of us will pay for, sorry poor people) as long as its not a repeat of prison of fail-ders 1 & 2. 2 completely different raids a year sounds Much more enjoyable then materialistic junk for the vault and so this game isn't entirely trials of osiris and iron banner. Not to mention the fact that 1 raid a year With hardmode is cake in 2-3 months( even with those joke of a "challenge modes").

It's already in the game. Long tomorrow 9g. I definitely thought all the marathon fans would've recognized it.

4 RepliesTBF, all I want out of Festival of the Lost? 1. A Peekis mask. 2. Return of the Triller/Zombie Dance. New emote for Monster Mash dance optional.

2 RepliesI still have my cat mask from last year's Festival.

2 RepliesHere here! I played Marathon and it was a great boatload of fun back in the day. I would love this. And maybe for Oni's 15th anniversary we get like a Spikey haircut that looks like Konoko's hair while we're at it! Bumpity bump bump

This is a really well put together post!! It's a very cool idea you have. Got me wanting to play Marathon. I was about 3-4 years old when this came out though! Bump for competence! Thanks for posting!

1 ReplyIt's just gonna be another candy hunt with new masks!

The Security Infinite Helmet...

You know I'd rather fight zombie guardians it would put all the guns we have collected to the test an when I mean zombies I mean of both guardians an enemies we have killed come back to life with possible powers. I kno zombies have been done to death but look at how many guardians have died over the supposed years of the world of destiny an all the enemies we have killed. Festival of the lost to me it has a perfect ring of here come zombies across the cosmodrome an other planets alike to possibly have a new enemy to fight even if it's just for a few weeks.

Ps exclusive, pls.

3 RepliesBump for PS4 exclusives too!

1 ReplyThat'd be a cool tribute. They've already done some jukebox stuff, so who knows.

I would like to be able to wear those masks as a cosmetic item without having to give up my helm slot personally for starters.
