This is a funny simplification, but I get it from what I've seen of the gameplay. It seems negatively repetitive, IMO.

I'll keep looking as time progresses. Maybe they'll find a way to jazz it up.
The fact he left out all of the campaign/priority contract info shows he either didn’t play the game for long or had his mind made up before playing.

the more I think about it they should’ve made the Destiny Star Wars DLC a full on extraction shooter and made Marathon a Destiny expansion.. smh.

Real Destiny brehs know, that lil extraction mode they added could’ve been so much more.

With Marathon’s launch around the corner, we want to take a minute to share how we’re approaching seasons and our plans for Season 1 and beyond.

SEASONS OVERVIEW​

Seasons in Marathon last about three months, and each season will bring new content and features that change the way you master survival, grow your powerfloor, and progress throughout a season.

Marathon's living universe and gameplay will continue to evolve across seasons, fueled by your feedback and your impact on the world of Tau Ceti as you uncover what happened to the lost colony and on the Marathon ship.

Seasonal updates will introduce new gameplay, including gear, Runner shells, zones, events, and more, which will be free for all players to access or earn–no expansions or DLC required.

A DANGEROUS CLIMB​

From your first steps on Perimeter to the end-game on Cryo Archive and Ranked mode, each season will challenge you to discover, adapt, and master new survival skills on your climb.

Everyone will start fresh each season with nothing to their name and the constant threat of death in a world more lethal and powerful than you are.

Over the course of the season, you’ll complete contracts and progress your faction upgrades, granting you access to stronger base stats and better wares in the Armory. It’s not just about what you loot, it’s about raising your power floor and the options available to you. Over time, recovering from a bad loss will get easier, and crafting your ideal build will be more accessible.

As you master survival and grow your available resource pool, you’ll be able to take on increasingly challenging contracts, zones, and enemy Runners. Climb the Ranked ladder, prep for high-stakes Cryo Archive runs, and secure the most lucrative loot and prestigious rewards of the season.

Then as the season comes to a close and the feeling of “$@%& it let’s ball” settles in, roll with your best loot knowing a fresh start for everyone, with more to discover and a new climb to master, is just around the corner.

DISCOVER, ADAPT, SURVIVE​

Each season of Marathon brings a clean slate for the whole community with progression resets. These resets include everyone’s gear, contract progression, faction progression, and player level.

You’ll keep your achievements and ways to express yourself. This includes cosmetics (earned and paid), titles, and other rewards you earn by playing and reaching milestones each season. Your Codex progression also carries over, as unburying the secrets of Tau Ceti takes time.

A few other things carry over too, such as your liaison contract progression; no need to unlock the factions every season.

Seasonal resets mean that the game stays dangerous, loot feels meaningful, and there’s always a good opportunity to get back into the game or bring a friend in without feeling behind the curve. It’s a way to say goodbye to the old, welcome the new, and kickoff a journey from zero-to-hero with new ways to play, content to master, and things to discover.

OK
I'm conflicted.. The gameplay and aesthetics are top notch, but as a casual player, I don't know how much time I'm going to be willing to grind this, especially with the progress reset each season.... BUT I am in need of an FPS and this has the gunplay I missed from Destiny 1. :patrice:


Yeah I think I'm in for launch.
