So what type of game is this? Extraction shooter? Whats the endgame in extraction shooters?

Like I genuinely don't get it. The only shyt you extract is for your next gameplay. That's it.
Exactly. Don't think it will work, not like they want.

OVERVIEW​

Before we get too deep into the weeds, here’s an overview of how we’re protecting your experience:

  • Marathon dedicated servers are fully authoritative on key combat and looting actions, providing a layer of protection against cheating.
  • New networking systems allow your movement and actions to feel responsive while the server carefully tracks each bullet to its target even with high packet loss.
  • Fog of War limits the regions of a map that individual player clients have knowledge of, limiting the effectiveness of “wall hacks,” “ESP cheats,” and “loot revealers.”
  • We’ve rebuilt our game security stack from the ground up for Marathon, in addition to our extra layer of security provided by BattlEye.
  • If you lose connection mid-run, you can reconnect and continue playing the run.
  • If connection recovery fails due to an issue with Bungie’s server or network infrastructure, we will attempt to return the starting gear to all impacted players.
  • Anyone found to be cheating will be permabanned from playing Marathon forever, no second chances.
  • Product security is never fully solved and we’ll continue to invest in our game security systems.

Not even trying be funny but you all up in the comments and you have no idea what the genre or the game is about.

Yet you have strong opinions as to how it will do, yall too old to be acting like this.

I will give you a rundown but dawg, cmon man.

The gameplay loop is all around progressing your status with the factions.

There are six of them and they all have various gear that they specialize in. You can lose your gear in a run yet still make progress with the factions. Continuous progress is what allows you to have access to buy that same gear back or buy better gear.

You can even get to the point where the factions will give you sponsored kits to go on runs with.

Idk I feel like this game is going to flop. The timing of betas and the release date being so close to each other throwing me off.
They have been literally testing the game every month since April of 2025.

That’s why the open test isn’t called a beta but a server slam

I know that, I'm talking in terms of commercial success. It feels like something I don't see huge discussions around compared to when Destiny was launching. I could be wrong though.
