    What is the point of having this called Marathon. It has exactly zero in common with the original games. Looks completely different, plays completely different, setting is completely different, storyline seemingly completely irrelevant, plus I’d wager the number of people who fondly remember the original and are also interested in playing a knock off extraction shooter on PS5 is pretty close to zero.

      I’m convinced Bungie is still chasing the specter of eSports PvP. So, they’re “adapting” their PvE square peg to fit in a PvEvP round hole.

      This has flop written all over it. Why can Marathon get contextual ping but Destiny doesn’t? How do you make a loot chase where you might loose all your loot in a round?
