Bungie, your handling of pvp doesn't make me want to play Marathon (even if I wanted to)

Destinys pvp is now propably in its worst state for a long time, plagued with server issues, fastest time to kill weapons, abilities, immunities, healing, overshields, the stupid melee registering etc. and having a huge drought in content like maps, modes and rewards. Comp still only gives you 3 weapons per week max. And yes, the whole Gambit thing with total abandonment. Bungies solution to all of this? "We are making a new game where all of this is fixed"! No, just no. I want to play Destiny with its lore, its mix of pve,pvp and gambit not other pvp only game. But with all of this aside the huge problems in Destiny pvp make me really sceptical about the balance and stability of Marathon. Anyone should be. When looking at their model of pvp and its treatment it really doesn't make me confident. Pure pvp multiplayer games have demanding audiences who will jump ship when the game's not performing, there's more cheaters, more players in a match (presumably), more lag, more servers etc. all of which are painpoints on existing property. I've been thinking about this for a while but finally decided to post after Aztecross's latest video on microtransactions. I usually try to give feedback and suggestions about topics when posting but here I have nothing because I really have no suggestions, no constructive criticism, nothing to say that hasn't been said already.

  • The second to last paragraph is an argument for exactly why Bungie should make Marathon. Doing all that stuff in what has repeatedly been referred to (even by pvp players) as a PvE game would have been far harder to do if not impossible. Especially when you factor in the portion of this game's playerbase that won't accept anything more than pvp being treated like a side mode. The pvp in this game is what it is in no small part because of the players it serves. No one should really be thinking that some of the stuff that gets argued over in this game would ever transfer well to a stand alone pvp. Plus this games pvp is supposed to be getting more maps and modes while making further adjustments to meet people where they're at from what they've said.
