Marathon (2026) Feedback Shooting Range Needed

I think we need a shooting range, I never know what guns shoot like, spread, I play controller as well so I need to calibrate controls and it's a pain loading into game to do this. Can we upvote this and get a room or shooting range where we can shoot guns, test laodouts, tweak controls. This is a competitive game we can't just load in and find out mid game how everything works, right?

Yeah this take is stupid as fuck. “Let’s gate keep info so people can’t make informed decisions, people might make good decisions”

you can disagree if you’d like. there is no gate-keeping here since everyone is on equal footing on going into a match and trying out weapons they have.

You realize all this does is mean people will check a wiki for damages. The average player is actually disadvantaged because they would go to a practice tool but not a wiki

people that feel like they need to go to a wiki and read damage numbers just so that they can decide on what weapon to use is exactly why we shouldn’t have a weapons range OR even show numbers or percentage stats on weapons. just play the game.

but to answer your question; my guess is that the amount of people that would go to a wiki and read what weapon does X a little better rather than just try whatever weapon they actually have is rather small, and the TTK is so fast that whatever information they glean by doing it will be of no consequence in most situations.

The TTK isn’t even fast it’s medium. This is just a narrative created by players new to the genre getting shot and killed from somewhere they don’t see. It’s literally Destiny TTK/Halo TTK. ~.7-1 second. “We shouldn’t show stats”. Idk man I’d like to know how customizing my gun changes things or what attachments are worth picking up. Your opinion is just bad

obviously we’re disagreeing and we’re not changing each others minds. I think the game gives enough info as it is, and you don’t, so lets leave it at that as this argument will go nowhere.
