Can i sign up somewhere

kindred vigil

no it’s not open right now

#

omni movement is genuinely such a cool idea but its never like the cinematic trailers cuz diving from explosions sounds cinematic and cool until u realize it just doesnt work with cods gunplay 😭

#

im tryna have fun and do cool shi and then boom im 1 pumped to the face by some prestige master level 600

quiet tusk
kindred vigil
#

it is what you're saying but I think it's one of the few (maybe the first) game that actually did it, and pretty smoothly to

#

but it's so insanely fast and quick in the actual game in the trailers like what the other person said it's way different

when I was playing bo6 beta it felt like when you play a game with a emulator on 170% speed

boreal fiber
#

lmfao no way

kindred vigil
#

its really weird going from the slow paced mw2 then kinda quicker mw3 to the bo6 hyper speed gameplay I can't keep up

quasi hinge
#

I just hope omni movement stays within CoD and doesn't branch out into other IPs

so then about that rumored playstation handheld with a docked mode...

stuck aurora
#

everyone's doing handheld too huh

stuck aurora
#

god forbid one gets something right without anyone trying to copy

kindred vigil
#

the thing is

does Sony games even have...enough mereit to warrant me to get a handheld for their games that I can now play on PC and probably progressively xbox

#

and also I think I'm just getting handheld fatigue everyone's just doing it npw

#

I wanted handhelds but damn I wanted actual handhelds not pcs

sour cairn
#

the switch and steam decks are portable home consoles while real handhelds are minuscule but died out with the 3DS and VITA

kindred vigil
#

well I'm getting PC handheld fatigue cause they seem to be getting pumped out so fast

#

like golly atp what do I even choose

#

Actually I think steam deck is still the cheapest

#

How can I sign up for the playtesting now that the alpha is over?

kindred vigil
#

u cannot

floral bane
#

Interesting- on the newsletter it said that they would continue closed testing (including participants from the alpha) which is worded in a way that I thought it would be more than just people from alpha

kindred vigil
#

yes it's worded badly but they only invited people played the original public alpha and there has been no sign ups

horrible wording from them though

Damn. Thanks for the help tho 🙂

Yeah me too, nda playtests seem pretty small player count so far so we’ll probably just have to wait for next public test

theres an article saying that Bungie is offering players a $500 to play Marathon one hour a day for a month or something something like that

the position's probs for stuff way more in-depth than what they wanna get out of invited playtesters anyway

they definitely will make you play for more than an hour/get you trough endless forms for that money.

You'll probably get a different reward based on playtime / how much info you have in ur survey

Yea I understand. But the marathon logo is 343 Guilty sparks eye. And the marathon styled security helmet is my favorite from halo 3. I bought Marathon Durandal and it was a cool experience. I know a lot of Halos lore was inspired by Marathon. I just wanna sink my teeth into this world they are trying to build. And I’ve never really got into extraction shooters but from the play test earlier this year this game looks like something I could dedicate hours to.

halo era bungie was famously p much just a badly managed boys club

cause a lot of western game devs back then were nerdy men that pushed out women and whatnot

which attracted more men like them

its why a lot of bungie and wider game dev "old guard" are constantly outed for creepy shit

Call me Ishmael. Some years ago--never mind how long precisely--having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this.
If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me
