Might go watch some people play it now
final boss has rave music
raid called desert perpetual
you peaked my interest
sorry guys is there a way i can check my points from the contracts
Morning
Burppp
If anyone was worried about bingusās whereabouts: I didnāt notice until today he appears twice in the pre-order trailer, alive and well
Iām not sure. You can get your dac level by going to leaderboards but idk about points
any lore about this guy ? I'm new to Marathon
Burps
Sekiguchi, who makes the runner shells, also makes animal shells (99% sure, might be info from the ARG). Not sure if itās a specific bingus but probably just a fun little guy to have around
Kitty go meow
oh nice, so someone's consciousness is inside it I guess, cool idea
Ive worked with Benjamin personally, he tried to bite me
Yeah I think itās advertised for pet immortality
He be doin that sometimes
they curled up against a dead runner in the reveal date trailer
Free real estate
there's also a black cat emote
and it makes me think there's more than just 
You tell us seki designer
Ill get right on that
hi
Chop chop seki boy
Hi
one of my fav marathon memes has
from marathon and Archie the robot dog from destiny saying hi to each other
wish I could put it here
That sounds like a premium meme
yes hi
dmed it to ya
Thank you š
Lebron james hairline
Lebron's wife is so lucky
Please I need to see this
I needs me some breakfast tacos

HELLO TEAM
5 hours, I repeat, 5 hours until Highguard ā ļø
there is unironically going to be a lot of people playing it because unlike concord it became a meme BEFORE it came out lmao
what is the meme exactly
highguard
yeah but what is it
a game
...
what aren't you understanding
what is the meme about š
highguard
oh my lord
is the meme itself just highguard surely theres something else
that its gonna flop or whatever
People with nothing else to do are saying it's gonna be a Concord flop
well there you go, that is the context i was missing
thank you
I know nothing about highguard
only that it looks incredibly mid
but most likely it just wont land with the majority of gamers and it'll just chill with its own decent sized playerbase lol
is there a majority anymore though. i have a feeling its all fragmented these days based on the platform you're on and the infinite of choices on pc
Nvm I guess they donāt look like that
A game that lands with the "majority of gamers" is arc raiders
Still plenty of people who can't get into it for all kinds of reasons but it's done a good job of catching people from all over I think
and thats why a lot cant get behind the 3rd person pov or the aggression based matchmaking
but yknow they came out of nowhere and have hella daily players
i dont like third person much but i really cant stand the voices that is a hard line for me
you mean the ai voices
valid
Arc has ai voices?
i refused to play anything from those devs after they claimed gen ai is easier than hiring people and they will keep using the ai
Thats why they have no spirit in their voice acting
I turned off dialogue anyway so Iāve only heard them like once
I can get over the AI voices, but the emotes are corny as hell, also, fuck Tian Wen
They paid voice actors for the license to use their voice and run it through gen ai to make voice lines. It's a loophole around the argument
That sucks
"oh but we paid people" ok so just pay the people and use that instead of making ai tear their voice to shreds
its really that simple
and thats why people were getting spicy when Marathon announced their stacked voice cast lol
Yeah, I gave them a shot with Arc, and they proved to me why I won't be supporting it and will be very much speaking about how they handled the whole thing.
-They knew dysync and collision were a problem before lauch
-Third video proves they had to adjust AI behvior to keep it from exploiting above for super jumps
-Which means they never FIXED it and why they ended up with a "HOT FIX"
but the owners of that dev company are all avid supporters of gen ai voices and have been from the start
no official marathon twitter post will make me šŖ¦ā ļø š
š«
so i hate them
third video as in their making of documentary?
are you talking about the actual ai?
for the robots?
I only got halfway done with the 2nd ep of that
the robot ai is actual ai not generative like the voices
Using machine learning for the enemies movement is cool af imo
yes, when train, the ai figured server couldnt keep up with input, would get confused with it shoving tis foot in the ground and then server over corrects and launches
Which is why people go through walls with too many objects next to thin walls
One thing I hate about playing on controller is mapping jump to A and crouch to B. You think this game will be optimized to let me switch the controls the way Apex is?
Isnāt that standard?
Tho yeah controller remap would be rlly nice
machine learning ai is actually real ai and is what should be used for enemy ai in games that need smart enemies. generative ai is when you feed things into a program that chews up all the data and spits out something that barely resembles what it ate
it is but it's not optimal for an FPS at all
cruouch should be RS and and jump should be LB
Interesting
The reason this upset me is because they didnt fix the server desync/collison/server issue, they just told the AI "don't cheat" like the players wouldnt figure this out too
How close is this game to Apexās movement? I donāt want to move all across the map like a guy having a seizure
Way slower
yeah if they dont think gen ai for voices is bad im not surprised they ride their own ai systems as if they are perfect
those devs do not seem to care about the human aspect at all
Sorry this might've been covered. Does anyone if there's any secrets hidden in the collectors edition?
ahaha, I like how you described lol I agree
Not to my knowledge. I didnāt get it but of the people who mentioned they purchased it Iāve heard nothing
spongebob gif of him saying 'I need it' with the Marathon logo edited in
they have AI voices since the finals, ignore the crashout by normies its nothing major
this is why im not buying subnautica 2 actually
all i know about that one is the company screwed the devs iirc
What did they do?
fired most of the devteam to avoid bonuses and replaced the team with an ai
The nuance will be how you "keep cool" Water while noisy lowers your heat or reduces how quickly it builds. Cryo is super cold
Thatās scummy
we're all playing highguard tonight
Highguard releasing?
today yes
in 4 hours
unfortunately i'm anti ai in anything where an artist couldve been hired. wether thats ai concept art (like unreal engine 33), ai assets, or ai trained voice acting
in about 3 and a half hours
mega based
cant stand gen ai at all either
Isnāt it just a hero shooter or does it have anything special?
yeah, i'll try tomorrow
raider shooter*
Yeah. Iām chill if itās used for like some repetitive programming stuff that isnāt terribly unique, but the moment itās used in things that rlly call for talent and soul itās not gucci in the hucci
Itās the goty
Maybe if you need a quick sketch to visualize something, but the Arc Raidersā community uses it for basically everything
execs seeing no difference between the two really shows how different our worlds are compared to people like that
Yeahhhh
4 h and high guard sweep
highguard sweep
Part of me really considers the ethical side of it too. If AI gets sophisticated enough to feel scared for example. How would we justify games like GTA
i'm not a fan of Highguard art style, but game play seems pretty solid imo
on the topic of ai raiders, i genuinely had someone tell me marathon was bad because it was rumored that they used ai for beta decals, meanwhile they're posting ai generated pictures themselves and playing a game by a studio that has shamelessly been using ai in place of paying their voice actors more than once
Iām also a bit more chill if like a small studio or indie dev would use it just to supplement, bc some people genuinely lack the resources to create what they envision. Ik thatās a slippery slope and idek if people in that category are using it for that reason
Highguard visuals seem pretty lackluster, medieval mashed with modern military isn't thattt unheard of
if highguard is good and gets decent playerbase then it will become a case study in universities lol
hypocrisy at its finest
Any artist worth their salt can do a quick sketch of anything you ask for
Imo the AI voices arenāt that bad in the ethical sense
"it wasn't ai, we straight up stole it"

there was someone here couple days ago saying their friend thought marathon had ai art and I asked is he mixing it up with arc ai voices
yes great idea lets hire an actor for a generic commentator in finals where we need to add lines in every update, what happens when the actor is busy with other works? NO LINES
GENIUS
Iām not an artist and I canāt do a quick sketch unless u want a drawing of a shoop da woop from seventeen years ago
i mean they did cut ties with the contractor who did that, paid t he artist and replaced the assets right?
yes
I canāt draw shit, so its a good tool if you donāt have the skills as long as you donāt credit yourself or use it in the āfinal pieceā
tbh i do see why those type of artists get their arts stolen, most of them look really similar
in different angle
Then you end up with Arc raiders skins where a thermal hoodie only has one sleeve
By choice
and design
ai raider skins are insane because they are legit all generated and not even touched up by people none of them make sense
But 99% of the time whatever you'll be using is pulling from and stealing real artist's work
truly a game worth $40
What do the skins even have to do? They are just ugly but donāt seem AI generated
didn't arc only used ai for voices? i don't think skins are ai because they are realistic
no its very clearly generated, a lot of them make zero logical sense and clearly were not thought up by a human being
like gas masks with tubes that just go absolutely nowhere
and random tubing that doesnt attach to anything
I wouldn't say this tbf things can just be ugly let them have scuba divers with thigh highs
idk i havent seen every single skin but ive seen some of them that are def not made by people
like guns in sci fi games never make sense ask that dude who reacts to videogame guns on youtube
no wonder the game felt so soulless and dull when i was messing around in it
i wouldnt be surprised if some of them were just ugly but it really feels like they just generated assets
maybe it was a combination of the ai and the ammount of BROWN
there is so much brown in that game
i LOVE brown 
alright traxus sniff analyst
meme of business cat holding newspaper
I should buy another motorcycle
Sounds like the previous studio head of bungie
for some reason i just remembered sam smith's brit award costume, that shit didn't look like human made lmao
Look at them more, closely. The goallie one especially. The hoodie only has one sleave. Idk what world that makes sense in.
But these def look like they were giving an AI a prompt to create concept art. Its just so fucking random, from super hi tech lensless visors to PUBG welding masks
Pete (fancy cars) Parsons lol
i think the problem is people dont think its gen ai. thats the level its gotten to. either theres so much of it that people cant tell or its getting close enough that people dont care
What a nice Sunday morning. I think I'll buy another car and lay off hundreds of employees for making the most critically acclaimed Destiny 2 dlc
its both
maybe i should buy another computer..
hmm
true
you should've bought ram, gamer
Maybe I should pre-order marathon... again...
you should preorder it for me
me too
I havent yet either š
buy 3 then
but also we shouldnt be preordering shit why do we never learn
get the collectors edition
100%
It's me, I'm the reason Marathon fell out of top 10 steam best selling
historically preordering has never been good for players
š¤ donāt shootš¤
it's a mixed bag,
if you want to preorder stuff preorder products that require it like a book, not a game
i never do, but I really want Marathon to do well... so I have to lol
š you are now swiss cheese
you can control your impulses, i believe in you
so buy it on release. they are not going to cancel the game because you didnt preorder š
Come into this dark enclosed room over here
"ah shit aperturehead guy in discord didn't buy our game, cancel the game"
we all pre-ordered Highguard deluxe though
Just saw an ad for "Endfield" does it actually look like that or am I being scammed that shit looked crispy
of course
i'm sorry for your loss
buying a prebuilt pc through klarna and shipping it to a random adress where i pick it up in person and fly it back so that the repo man cant track me
All end fields ads Iāve been getting looked ass
the game is amazing actually
optimization is good in endfield tbh
the ads just dont do it justice
but damn 300 tutorials
i was just playing that game lol
i mean theres a lot of stuff going on
instead of playing endfield I uninstalled and went to satisfactory
i just see it as 300*25 rocks
staying up tonight to play highguard š„
if it didnt come out at 4 am i would
So mixed reviews aight
but i got dnd tomorrow
they'll understand because its highguard
youre so right
arknights devs knows damn well that players of their game can't read so they made tutorials lol, turns out building factories even in games are complicated
combat is pretty good though
i mean the average arknights player does a lot of reading
All the ads I got are just character walking or a guy doing a tutorial like I know wtf heās yapping about
Very unhelpful ads
genshin and wuwa people are being purged there
text exceeding 10 words, can't read
i feel called out
combat is unique in endfield
but reading the 300 tutorials of pain and despair bored me to death
15 pulls for anime grils are the real rewards
Canāt blame genshin players not reading with how boring the dialogue is in this game
they can't skip too
like I already have 300 hours in satisfactory I know how to do all of this
i have 700 hours, i skipped tutorials and started building on my own lol
at some point building quests got bugged because i built the factory so fast
what a Chad lol
just get yourself satisfactory and put some cute Anime girls on your second screen š
I will bug the high guard tutorial
š« 
yesterday I got my d2 marathon preorder bonuses and damn, every time I look at the ship I want to play marathon even more
my favorite part is slavery
you can make your characters work for mining and crafting stuff lol
wassup choom
this is Marathon discord and not Cyberpunk discord, but hi Choom xD
Actually this is the highguard discord
This is actually everything but marathon server
lmao
You guys are reading the tutorials??

Me playing rimworld
I'm scared to open a moba I've been addicted to for like 4 years
Chat if u want a good gacha game play warframe
Comedians in chat
Haven't opened it in 1 week that's a long time
Open deadlock instead
Still unsure if high guard is meant to be a moba or survival crafting
Delete it remove from library disassociate urself from all content related to the game
i dont think its either moba or survival

Thanks
Why is there base raiding then
Yes felini
it looked more like battle royal with objectives and bases
Didn't know what it was looked it up and it looks fortnite-esque
Even steam is confused when categorizing it
How are you doing brotato
Its a tps moba
Full of bullshit
Man I was global top 64 idk if I can do that
and from the achievements that got leaked one of them was like win a round before 15 min so its not long matches as well
Great gangatron, itās very cold but lifs great
15 min sweep
Imma open it chat GG ā it was nice knowing y'all
Bring back Super Monday night combat
We'll find out in 3 hours what all the fuss is about.
Stupid call center job making me work from home today instead of letting me play outside.
can we already download the game?
Have you tried rebooting your job?
Everyone sucks at apex especially my solo queue mates
I'm forever solo queue lmao
Spend 10 minutes to loot and die first fight, gg would waste my time again
SAME BRO
Fable or Marathon
i heard installing aimbot.exe helps alot, prolly nukes ur pc too but at least ur masters
One man army type shii
I solo queue in Apex so I can blame my teammates for my failings by attributing them to lack of coordination.
My granny called she said travyy you work too hard im worried youll forget about me

I can't be the only one that hates loud clacky or "creamy" keyboards
But i might get timed out
Also let's stop saying keyboards are creamy
Im still in a dream, snake eater
šāā”ļø šāāļøāā”ļø šāāļøāā”ļø
šāāļø šāāļø š

I have exactly that
A loud one
I like the clicks
Hook fist asterisk bingus circle run run run cheeburgr nur nur nur circle bingus asterisk fire hook
mine is rlly quiet atcually
5 minutes after using one and I'm already irritated
Morning chat, another day of being stuck inside.
Escape will make me god
I custom tuned my keyboard to play the spongebob laughing sound effect every single time I clack a key, best choice I've made in years
It's like a BMW where it's actually quiet and insulated sound but they put a speaker in the car to create fake sound
I'll have what he's having
To remind you of the sound
Gm slip
i dislike repetititive loud noises so im very partial to switches like the lavenders or epomaker jade
Good mornin
I like the chrome extension that makes animal crossing villager noises as u type
I made it so whenever I boot my PC, it plays Bring Me To Life in its entirety before it lets me sign in. This motivates me every morning and gets me pumped to gamble on Polymarket
Still nobody told Durandal the universe wonāt close
That's a good one, the animal crossing noises
Nobody also told him there were aliens
Im pretty sure he gonna make an appearance in the game
Vacuums can be silent but they intentionally make them loud to make it seem like they are powerful
i use blue switches. i love me my clicky tactiles
I hate sound engineering
theyre quiet enough that i dont bother the other people in my house typing late at night but loud enough for me to hear the keyboard itself when i have my headphones off or my buds on without noise cancelling
Hell yeah
He has to in some capacity
Love me some clicky switches
my first keyboard had blue switches and i lwk hated it cause the quality was so poor and it was just obnoxiously loud
Correct
give me switches that use so much force if i hit them wrong i break a nail.
Bruh biggest pet peeve is people that take those keyboards to the office and use them but they are wearing noise cancelling earphones š
highguard in 3 hours
Actually I think that's where the hate comes from tbh
In an office setting is diabolical
Nobody is going to say it but I'll say it
Durandal EFFED UP
Hearing it at work all day
big time
Srsy that would suck
Durandal did nothing wrong change my mind
True it would be bad in a public environment
Mmmh cocoa
My bad chat I discovered the root cause in real time just now
He a clanker lover chat
The real question is who is more wrong? Griffith or Durandal?
Clanker or Clanka
Who is a Griffith
I think the guy from Berserker
just some guy..
Oh my god Highguard still releases in 3 hours, this wait is so boring
That sounds like a setup for a ligma joke
I hope the phor come back too so i can seduce them
Durandal was based, and using bobs for his works was fine bc bobs donāt count as people
I feel like 4 hours have just passed and its only been like 30 minutes
𤨠š
Nono, I understand
You heard me
Chat just went out of pocket
speak of the devil
Did I fkn stutter - slip
Realistically if we found aliens yes a lot of people would immediately try to figure out how to seduce
Hell yeah
Obv
How did the phrase, 'speak of the devil', even come about? Was somebody speaking about the devil and he just showed up?
Voldemort
This is going to sound crazy but I contribute my success to the mouse I use
Used it for 8 years, it broke bought the same one
Lol
mouseth maketh thy man
The raw comfort and productivity from this mouse is earth shatteringly
The Mouse requires a sacrifice
It's different when your tool can give you that
Work is a "I want to use my mouse" simulator
you wanna uh
slide the amazon link over
š
I think the full saying is "speak of the devil and he will appear"
is that jane as ur pfp or am i tripping
Bought one for a kid I'm mentoring, in a few weeks his productivity productivity just sky rocketed
mhm
this is enlightening
It was born of superstition that mentioning demonic things would summon him
Me: you're doing a thing i used to do, you're fighting your equipment instead of the task at hand. Brb
i cant believe jane invented music
Whatās a Jane
no literally

hey boss
but then april underscores invented dancing so it balances it out
Are we talking about unfinished quotes that became mainstream
How many we know in here
well we're currently on number one
is bless you, an unfinished qoute?
i'm thinking about adding a big solid tungsten cube in the middle of my desk with its only purpose being to obscure my vision, is this the move?
idk what the aesthetic is called actually
the one where they post evangelion clips to ethereal sound effects and overlay the radiohead ok computer album cover
over everything
webcore..?
idk
kind of
i need to put up wallpaper on friday when i get home
and then buy posters
The early bird gets the worm, is actually:
The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese.
The early bird get high guard
Means something completely different
big if true
If anyone is not sure on marathon I will be streaming it day one on Twitch:therealshxdowtv š
It means learn from the mistakes of others
thank you for this information, i will be donating 1 billion subs to your channel
man actually being a fan of larp anime is hard
whenever i say that my favs are evangelion and serial experiments lain i immediately get casted as some kinda deep thinker
Lmao, thanks š
just check the steam page, it unlocks in about 3 hours
well 2 hours now
Rome wasn't built in a day, is actually:

Jack of all trades, master of none ..though often times better than a master of one.
Pre-load an hour before release?
Those are bangers
i haven't the faintest clue, but they haven't said anything about a pre-load at all so i dont think so
They haven't said anything.
Great minds think alike ..but fools rarely differ.
i dont expect them to start now then
They need to announce the marathon collab with triage skin for john highguard
Guys I fanally deleted marvel rivals and installed apexšš¾
Will be playing highguard once it launches
I mean itās a start ig
Is game out?
You've won the battle with cancer and contracted radiation poisoning
š
I choked
On my spit
Ngl I have to play it, just outta curiosity, which Iām aware was the whole point of high guardās strategy
Yea I know but I mean what fps game am I supposed to play? Marathon aināt out yet
it has me curious to download so it's defo working š
Halo, titanfall 2
we need a firing range for marathon
Itās gonna be free so I think everyone should at least give it a chance tbf
Fps chess
I've had this exact same problem lmao
Titantanfall player base is non existent imma wait for 39 minutes to get put in the sweatiest lobby imaginable
Battlefield 2 fall of needs to be studied
This unfortunately true but the campaign is good
I forgot about halo which one is best for PvP
I meant 6*š
MCC you can do all of them pvp. Infinite pvp is alive but yknow itās infinite
Yes lol the fps genre is so boring rn
I need context, letās wear our context hat
nah it ain't even that for me I played Marathon in october and I literally can't get it out of my head
nothing scratches the itch I got from it
Fornite was the only one and I meant itās fornite after all
and I NEED IT
I played marvel rivals but only because I wanna be black panther and kill other heroās
Lol it's the gambling addiction that's baked in
Oh yes and that too
I forgot
Infinite is free but they really fumbled the ball for a while, lack of content, dumb microtransactions that werenāt part of the franchise. Itās fun but itās really blackpilled a lot of people on halo
I left marvel rivals because the community was unbearable
it's not even gambling
Thatās what I said nothing is interesting aside from marathon
Everyone insta locking dps and just throwing games
It is tho, we are
larp raiders
99.9% of gamblers quit right before they win big
Warframe is pretty good rn
Actual snooze fest
No crying in the casino
I had some guy try to tell me a week or so ago that people DIDN'T insta lock dps in MR
deadlock is pretty good rn
it's not like we can play it
The only tps I play are fort, deadlock and r*vals
So if I just ignore all that is it the best halo for PvP in 2026
I redownloaded it and holy god, the insta lockers are worse
Marathon
Yes
marton
MCC is probably the most populated, but considering infinite is free yeah itās def a good option
I like marathon
that isnt larpathon
Yes
No
I love games
its not even out yet
Yes
tf you mean larpathon
canāt handle criticism ?
We love high guard
š
you got something to say
Name one game
i love marathon
we just sharing our opinions
Only rivals for me but itās like a toxic relationship I kinda wish they never released the game, because I love marvel but I hate rivals
marton
but its not out yet
Bg3
Idc about paying just name 1
you guys are only talking about games that are NOT good which leads me to believe that you dont like anything
The game sucks honestly. I only play with my friends
have sone fun and whimsy
Idk thatās up to u
Have some FEAR and SCARY..
Name a shooter thatās relevant and good in 2026
Aah!
None lmao
This is video gaming itās not about fun silly
The finals
(Does a scary laugh)
Same or to get wtv black panther skin is released
How 'bout some hunger too?
cod is dead, bf6 devs just literally let the game die, Fortnite is just collab bait slop
good morning fellow marathoners
for recent stuff i'm playing Destiny 2 is pretty good, nightreighn, OW2, Hades II, silksong
Tried it and hate it
this is why i say do you like any video games
who else up guarding they high
Idc itās not about you
Me
today is shaping up to be a marathon day
i cant wait to play 1(one) game of it and then uninstall
Iām literally only mentioning multiplayer games
š
hades 2 is goated
Well fuck u too then imma go make dumplings
Monopoly Go for iOS
Hop on deep rock galactic
and these games I mentioned are in fact not as good as they were
Deep rock is pretty good ngl
drg is goated
Itās not out but itās coming out today name one thatās already out
lol, just reinstalled Destiny 2 after so many years to get back into bungie gunplay and play an MMO, only to realize they disabled Matchmaking for SO MANY missions. MMO with multiplayer turned off, amazing
Risk of rain 2
He literally canāt
lets play among us 3d
good? we have no way of determining that tbf
if you really want to count destiny because marathon is coming out
we don't even know what a match looks like yet
How dare you doubt peakguard
maybe it will recieve big updates
still waiting on the pd3 comeback š š
they haven't really shown the game off
everyone is just waiting for some peak game that doesnt exist and cant enjoy anything new
Ball and gun son or Fortnite and Roblox daughter
ball and gun
What are you talking about dude š
I donāt know what that means
Yeah, still waiting for half life 3 and sifu 2
Fortnite marigold
Lowkey I get that
Destiny and relavant in 2026?š also game is just passed its prime
this is why your expectations are so high
roblox and fortnite does have a bit more variety to it
im waiting for marathon infinity 2
half life 3 is not coming
nothing ever happens
enjoy your slop because thats all you are going to get
Cod and ea sports games
Doomer take
This dude is so insufferable omg
Please donāt say this
titanfall ?
Not relevant
ooh
Player base non existent
cs2
Ok how about u name one thatās relevant and good in 2026

cs isnt that relevant
It is
"cs isn't that relevant"
Good? Ehh itās ok I guessā¦. Just the community and the fact thatās itās filled with bots, overall not a fan of slower gameplay but probably best answer yet
theres like a million search and destroy games
are you serious
go on steamdb
you could sya the same thing about valo and you really expect anyone to believe that
Relevant to this guy only mean TikTok games I guess
look at what people are playing
r people actually playing cs
apparently, yeah
the most played game on steam most of the time
Guys league isnāt relevant anymore sry we need to cancel all the events and esport tournaments
This. And has been since forever
there are currently 1.4 million players online
what missions I have had no issues getting matchmade
well the cs market crashed a few months back
What about rivals. Thatās pretty relevant
It can be relevant and have bots , look at rivals
so I'm not sure how many are left
buying a new pc just for marathonn rahhhhhh
I remember when they crashed the skins' economy, it sure was relevant then lol
the case market fully recovered pretty much
Look at bf6 there are bots in that game and itās relevant
chad
rivals is known to have bots in games though im talking about the ones that stay idle on game just to trade
so bots are very much there
Aren't the "players" at the top of the leaderboard just cheaters with websites in their username?
Insane cope
I don't play cs so idk but it is very much relevant and popular
X2
still gets insane viewership and playerbase even if it's partially bots
it's still very very popular, but it defo has case farming bots as they sell for a lot
Bro trying to move the goal post when the original discussion was if the game was relevant and popular
it's cause he has no other rebuttal for cs2
just reaching to hate
there would have to be a 50/50 split between bots and players for it to be in the 2nd rather than 1st, and if there was a 90/10 split between bots and players it would still be in the top 10
nothing ever happens
Me when
Cs2, apex legend, halo mcc u think these are the shooters that are both good and hold decent relevancy in 2026
Cs is massive as a game
like worst case scenario it's top 10 popular rather than literal first
And you know what else is massive ?
Sagittarius A*
it has the density of 14 suns
I donāt think thatās the argument I would say the argument is more if cs is good instead of relevant
Halo infinite multiplayer still alive?
I've been considering trying apex, no harm cause it's f2p but it's also EA so I have a natural aversion to it
yep i found some game in 12v12
i don't see people complaining about the gameplay much, so people must enjoy it
Quickplay is pain
Itās free so thereās no harm in trying it
Somewhat
Psichological damage
True, so cs2 is definitely in the top 3 best and relevant shooters of 2026
Well are you looking for one to play or are you just asking opinions
Ah yes youāre right
Took me a good amount of willpower to download their shitty launcher before they made it available on steam
Anyways fuck CS
A bit of both
High guard sweep in 3H
(It's on steam nowadays, right?)
highguard goty
Highguard my beloved
hope that highguard runs well
i believe so
Letās all guard real high guys today
exactly
Sorry chat I had to make breakfast, who wants a breakfast burrito
Most optimized game since pong, best graphics since death stranding 2, best gameplay since halo 2
man i cant wait to play some of my favorite heros
And then we will guard the moon
Oh yeah Highguard
Holy
Lollll. Isnāt that suppose to release like today and they havenāt said a word about it
It is
Geoff keep hyping it up on Twitter
WE ARE ALL PLAYING HIGHGUARD TODAY
Holy shit no are you starting beef with him again
right guys ?
I wanna watch one of you losers stream it
High guard is secretly destiny 3 trust
What exactly is high guard? I watch the trailers on steam, read the description, hear people saying itās Concord 2.0 but can someone in here actually tell me what is Highguard? Whatās the gameplay loop? I really am confused about it.
I will stream it
Thatās all the marketing they got, Geoff himself
Excellent
its a NEW BREED of shooter
according to the trailers
Canāt wait goat
yes we will all be jumping on highguard in 3 hours
and the only gameplay is the trailer they have said nothing else
Trailer* there was only 1
Shooter breeder
(itās the biggest pile of dookie that has ever existed but thatās not very funny)
i'm gonna watch someone play it
Is it out
They shoot then breed?
3H
its not a breeder shooter
fort was good for most of 2024 and then they fumbled hard afterwards
Highguard is CONCORD 3.0
Kill this guy
breeding shooter
No highguard is destiny 3 trust
?
highguard is secretly is marathon playtest
Highguard changing the game
Im kind of stupid, do y'all actually want Highguard to succeed?
Yes
Idc ill try it tho
lol what does that even mean? Iām just still confused. Is it extraction? Is it like war zone? Is there looting? Is it match based like COD? Is there multiple modes?
Itās free to play right? Guess Iāll just check it out in a couple hours and answer my own question.
i mean cyberpunk did it
it will be good if it's a good game, that's about it
i dont see why not
no idea
I just hope the people working on it don't end up hanging themselves in game
people guessed its like a MOBA
I want every game to succeed even one I donāt like
The highguard marketing is genius
True...
He wasnt even asking abt destiny what š
I don't know how it feels to work on something that gets that much hate, I don't really want to know either
Why not ?
Apparently. Donāt tell players what are game is really about so theyāll just have to play it to find out.
Itās a new free to play game
"pvp raid shooter" is literally all we know
bro is in the highguard chat complaining about the game
Thereās gonna be a showcase later today
Only works if the game already had huge exposure good or bad, and we know they had huge negative exposure from the game awards
highgoty
reasoning ?
Whats with all the "raid games" recently?
Cause of u
Gonna main the baddie from high guard trailer
Funny
it does in fact have huge exposure
Hating to hate š
lmao
Yeah I remember that much
thats what i be saying
Raid? Like raid shadow legends? My fav game oat
No matter if you like or hate Highguard, I reccomend everyone to atleast try out the game to have a proper opinion. You basically lose nothing besides time as itās F2P
they arent gonna have funding for d3 if it flops im afraid
Most likely considering I didnāt know it existed until I saw nothing but negative stuff about it
Okay gotcha I got time to munch
i feel like marathon will do better than D2 rn
Donāt forget to buy every skin from the high guard shop and the dead cell battle pass
It will prolly, but Iām not sure any game will ever flop as bad as concord itās just not possible
š
They dont realize that if Marathon fails Bungie would be eaten by Sony completely
if highguard has a battlepass i think i might die
theres a battlepass in dead cells?
U already know I will
i actually hate video games
Highguard on console?
hope this helps
I hope not, I don't want more exclusive slop
Idk I forgot what the cod premium premium battle pass is called so i panicked
Ty kris
supposed to
Then theyāll make a death stranding destiny hybrid game and it genuinely win goty
on ps5 and xbox
Noon CST I think?
The game releases in 2 hours from now right ?
Well butter my nuts and call me slick I'll download it
yes
Meaning it will be like 1 pm/2pm est time ( for me)
Pardon
Nah, Kojimaās OD would win that
Did I stutter
Highguard will tickle my pickle
Wait really? Ill check my Xbox too
They are containing the peak or it will break the servers
Thatās why we canāt preload itās that powerful
Yeah 1pm PT
its not on the PS store either
so idk if theyre planning to release on console at a later date
Is that emo baddie shrek as ur pfp? She bad ash
It will definitely be something to distract us for a day or two, good or bad.
Wait I just saw they will launch the game and present the showcase at the same time
Thatās just a Warcraft goblin
Indeed thatās exactly what I need rn
Iām pretty sure he blocked u a long time ago so he doesnāt see anything u say
They bad ash
Lol
horse riding is real in 2 hours
Right. Thatās a day or two closer to march 5th! lol
All reviews do to some extent
Itās fake
I already received my paycheck so you can bet on it
Best horse riding since red dead 2
If they really need or want it to do good they might.
Wtv makes time flies by faster
Also, halfsword's early access releasing in 4 days
oh its not just horse riding
I mean hey people accused me and many people who playtested Marathon to be paid by Bungie
Then just quit bugging
Seriously? I got access too and I wish I was paid
Yea, but I could care less if people talk good or bad I make my own opinions
Well, some guys actually sounded like they've been paid by how they defended Marathon and shitted on other games
Marathon server banning me making me look like a new comer to the serverš
I donāt mention that in this statement. There definetly has been people who acted like that
Herd mentality or wtv they call it
Humans are a social species so Iām not surprised
Where is my paycheck Bungo
But at the same time we not a hive mind
Ye
Iāll get John Bungie on it right away
never got invited to the alpha / cb but the game looks way better.
Well, with youtubers who exaggerate everything, of course there is going to be hate
I mean we can all agree marathon might have looked cool even back when they first revealed it but it was not in a good place. Itās in a much better place now but Bungie still has work to do. I want and hope marathon is good and gets the traction it deserves but itās on Bungie at this point.
I think theyāve got the game in a good place now but will the player base for give all the drama thatās happened between then and now. Thatās what will matter.
Itās almost highguarding time runners
When marathon drops Iāll hop in servers and blast the ironmouse song
I hope marathon has friendlyfire so i can teamkill @stone grail
It wonāt
Very true
That hilarious
hey man i'm just letting u know i'm gonna block you. it's nothing personal really but your messages really get on my nerves. i'd rather just not see them.
play solos and larp instead
you get friendly fire there
My bad
Genuis
Boy do I have the game for you
(Scares you)
(I never played arc, this is a joke)
Hi jester how are u doing today
Terrifying
I am a warden and this is my omen
Scary jester have you chosen a faction yet
Thatās good keep it up, is it cold in ur area?
-highguard guy
SPOOKY
Climate change is scarier than any jester
I don't need a faction.. I'm already in a circus.. the SCARY circus!!
Arachne's logo looks like the velcro hooks, what if they are not a death cult but a velcro company that is exploring Tau Ceti in hopes to upgrade their velcro technology?
Not really, my kids will deal with it Iāll be a pos and not care hehe
Good point
killing people does involve velcro
so i see where you are coming from
Is it cold where u live?
Since the game will be pvpve I want yall to honest opinions
Yall will shoot on sight or what ?
Is it too much to ask for both?
Not here.. Not the scary circus.. The scary circus.. is in HELL!!
It's always shoot on site, that's what the other guy is thinking too
Shoot on sight for runners
Spare Rook if they make me laugh or else die
Yes, maybe for certain funny situations no, but likely yes Iāll shoot on sight
yeah this is what i was gonna say
maybe not the rook
tbh, If I see someone and he implores not to shoot I wonāt
But most of the time I will shoot on sight
Hes going to shoot you
Shoot first
Not gonna commit the same mistake of arc raiders
I might just start shouting random stuff to scare people once in a while but I feel that's gonna be the main thing
Do you also throw your used car batteries in the ocean
No Iām jugging the rook living him 1hp and making him drop everything
Mfs changed me š
Yup.
Yea
Considering you can lose everything in a run when you die. Shoot first ask questions later
Valid
They better give a good sob story or they biting the curb
Imma bait people with rook into UESCs and get them slimmed
š
Rooks are just scav players from
Tarkov, except we donāt get a special extract from rooks in marathon so they are even more shoot on sight.
low level human
Hesitation gets you killed.
dying to a rook is a colossal skill issue
Very low, but u play d2 so u even lower
The funniest shit would be if we counter some of us in game
lol
encounter*
So basically Free Loadouts from arc raiders but weaker?
not happening
Hey I know that guy "dead"
my name here is separate from my in game name
š
i will make sure its that way
Depends, thatās not really a fair statement cracked rook with map knowledge has a chance
maybe in solos
Well no u spawn in late
Another day closer. Woooo
U can only use rook in solo I think
Just kill him in advance, works every time
To your DEMISE!!
Rook solo yes,
Iām thinking using thief or assassin, since I already got my trio locked
Noice
Mine isnāt hunt me down player I care not
Isn't this ndaed info
Scary jester should I make dumplings?
why would that be under NDA
this might be the wrong channel
What he say
They haven't announced it
no, vidoc exists
Tbf I'm just trying to keep people from getting into legal troubles
i just know its similar to this vr extraction shooter with the scav mode
