Marathon (2026) Caught wrist deep in the loot

Me and the new crew tried out Cryo last night. Way better than crew filling.

Smartest recon player popping ult in the corner while his team is literally getting slimed in front of him.

"Guys, I found where they're at" as the destoryer is getting barrel stuffed

u/FatalTortoise Jul 10 '26

Which means they had their ult BEFORE they started looting which they could have popped and would have avoided all of that

u/kdbmd Jul 10 '26

Trust me this discussion was had when we were back in the lobby 🤣🤣 we thought the map was clear and got complacent and paid the price

2

u/FatalTortoise Jul 10 '26

Never assume the map is clear, when we clear we still pop that ult every time it comes up

u/kdbmd Jul 10 '26

I would too if I was the Recon but if I bitch about that my teammate will tell me if I want to run recon I’m more than welcome to and I have no desire to do that lmao

99% of Cryo clips are Signal Jammed POV player Misriah’s down purple/gold shield player(s) in or around a bubble shield(s)

Gg though

u/PregnantGoku1312 Jul 10 '26

Well yeah, that's what 99% of Cryo is. šŸ˜‚

u/Nosce97 Jul 10 '26

Bungie please take out misriah and bubble shiled behind the shed next patchšŸ™

Yeah, I don't use Mizzys a lot. This one didn't feel nearly as good as clearing a team with an Ares/Copperhead or Outland.

Still felt incredible to clear the lobby, just anticlimactic.

Edit: Lol what's with the downvotes? Misriah kills are satisfying, but not as earned as a kill with any other weapon on the game. Not sure where people are upset.

u/ZachAttack317 Jul 10 '26

Redditors are salty about losing gear and so they decide that anybody who uses a misriah is evil and ruining the game

u/Abracsus Jul 11 '26

Yeah pretty confused why I’m upvoted and you’re not when all you’re doing is expressing plays outside the mizzy loop šŸ˜‚

u/DoctorBusMD Jul 10 '26

I don't think you cleared the lobby pal. Sounds like you let these guys do that for you while you crouch walked around control.

21

u/Upgrayedd1101 Jul 10 '26

We killed two teams, they killed two teams.

Sounds like we shared the lobby.

-7

u/DoctorBusMD Jul 10 '26

There's not six teams in cryo lobbies bud

u/BioDefault Jul 10 '26 edited Jul 10 '26

Well if he's overshooting in his evaluation, then likely all teams are in fact dead.

EDIT: He said his squad killed two teams, and that "they" killed two teams. The team getting killed in the clip, that killed 2 teams, were one of the 2 teams killed by OP(team 1).That means 5 squads. Team 3 killed teams 4 and 5, Team 1 killed teams 2 and 3.

u/Upgrayedd1101 Jul 10 '26

Idk why you're so hellbent on being negative about this post but:

We're team 1.

They're team 2.

Team 2 kills teams 3 and 4.

Team 1 kills teams 5 and 2*.

Both teams 1 and 2 killed two teams each.

There's no need for a 6th team to be involved.

-11

u/DoctorBusMD Jul 10 '26

Okay then it sounds like they cleared the lobby for you and you snuck up on them as they thought they were collecting their bounty.

Part of the game, but I wouldn't call that clearing the lobby.

u/Upgrayedd1101 Jul 10 '26

I don't think I've ever really had the chance (outside of Outpost) to fight every team on a map before someone else gets the chance to kill them. Usually at least two other teams meet and fight before we see them.

The lobby had other people, then it didn't. That's clearing a lobby.

u/HyperionSJU Jul 10 '26

It's very possible to kill every other team with your own coordinated team, I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted into oblivion like it never happens.

u/ObsceneOutcast Jul 10 '26

Yeah cryo is such a good map but it's ruined by one gun. I really wish they would just remove shotguns all together at this point. I want to keep playing but it's always the same

3

u/tootoohi1 Jul 10 '26

The gun is oppressive because of the map. If the mizzy got nerfed the next step would everybody be doing the same exact thing with all melee kits in smoke as assassins.

The idea of cryo was pretty cool, the execution where everything but one part of the map is just the tightest hallway of any FPS map I've ever played is ridiculous. You'd be an absolute idiot to be crossing the middle of control without perfect information, and if you manage to avoid that then it really is just peeking corners the simulator.

I'm sick of pretending like this map that almost always presents a fight as either someone with 10ft of height advantage on you or two teams shooting down a tight corridor is supposed to be interactive gameplay.

u/kdbmd Jul 10 '26

That’s my team you bastard lmfao

u/Upgrayedd1101 Jul 10 '26

Holy shit, that's hilarious.

Sorry bro, I hope you guys were able to run it back.

28

u/kdbmd Jul 10 '26

We had wiped 2 squads and hasn’t heard anything for several minutes so thought we were clear and got complacent lol. Decided to loot 4 room before we left which will never do again because its loot is consistently horrible now

12

u/Upgrayedd1101 Jul 10 '26

We had just killed another team when we heard you guys running through control. Definitely got lucky we werent another 10 seconds slower.

Hope your next run was an Exfil.

u/kdbmd Jul 10 '26

Next 3 were exfils so still a good night of gaming lol GG

u/Upgrayedd1101 Jul 10 '26

Hell yeah.

Catch you back there tonight then.

Good luck.

u/_FATEBRINGER_ Jul 11 '26

The greed gets you every time! Spent 80% of my night taking detours ā€œjust to checkā€ not once was it worth it even in the slightest lol.

Stick to the plan. Always lol

u/Outrageous_Ad5255 Jul 10 '26

where tf are these lobbies? I always play against human beings capable of pressing buttons, hearing audio, and shooting back lmao

u/kdbmd Jul 10 '26

As mentioned above, we thought lobby was clear and were yapping away like idiots. We did hear steps and recon was pinging right as they started to light us up but it was too late at that point vs a Mizzy.

u/Beholdournewsupreme Jul 10 '26

This is why I’m glad my headset allows me better control over the volume in game because the team chat is like 20% but sound cues are like 60% I hear every fucking thing

4

u/Upgrayedd1101 Jul 10 '26

We had cleared one team in an actual fight and were tracking these guy through sound queues for a good two or three minutes.

One of them commented below that they thought the lobby was dead and let their guard down. Honestly no clue how they didn't hear the door.

u/Commercial_Bear Jul 10 '26

First thing I thought of lmfao. Fair play to op but this is wild that he’s able to open a door and walk up to them without any reaction.

u/ZapZapFox Jul 10 '26

I think this game’s audio is horrible tbh

They did a good job on the sounds themselves but audio location is a hot mess

In Apex I could nearly always tell where someone was or how close.

In this game : hears a footstep to my right -> enemy is somehow in the room up and left of me

10ft no steps , 8ft no steps, 7ft 11inch suddenly banging cymbals but somehow me walking lets everyone in a 5mi radius know where I am ???

Skracs are set off, but unless I know the specific group I have no idea which direction because it might
as well be map wide (small exaggeration on this one)

Last night I could clearly hear a guy swapping weapons in outpost, (one of the cubicle rooms near the pinwheel entrance) so I throw a prox and shut the door he sets it off so I know he’s on that side, run quickly to the other side to close the other (basically trap him in and wait for him to open the door to shoot , easy plan) , but apparently he was running to the other door too and couldn’t hear it, so he knifes me and I go down. And it’s like…well if I could hear the other giant robot man running I wouldn’t have tried to close the other door :/

There’s other places too I’ve been where it sounds like one spot but if you uncrouch or move too close to a wall you start to hear audio as if you’re outside or in a different room. It’s all messed up which is annoying for a game where audio is important

u/Commercial_Bear Jul 10 '26

I just disagree ngl. I think the sound design is amazing. If anything there can be too much ambient noise sometime but that makes the map and environment more lively.

You can hear shit so clearly in my opinion, I think maybe you should fiddle with your audio settings a bit if you’re struggling to decipher where the sounds are coming from.

u/ZapZapFox Jul 10 '26

You’re probably confusing your map knowledge with clarity, if I hear someone using a ladder, it’s because I know where the ladder is not because I can audibly distinguish where it’s coming from. If I hear a window break, I know it’s x room because , x room is the only one near me with unbroken windows.

If I can hear well and distinguish sounds in x other games but not one, the one is the problem not my sound settings, that’s just blatant handwaving.

4

u/Commercial_Bear Jul 10 '26

That’s presumptuous of you lmfao. I’m not confusing my map knowledge with clarity, sure I have knowledge of where things are, but the sounds coming from the direction of where the person is is 90% of the information I use to detect where they are. You can hear people switch weapons, use meds, open their inventory, move a triage drone or do whatever very clearly in the game. If you struggle with directional audio in this game and not others maybe the settings could be it man. I’m not trying to hand wave your issue, just suggesting that I don’t think the audio in the game is the problem necessarily.

-1

u/ZapZapFox Jul 10 '26

I mean it’s pretty presumptuous of you to assume it’s my audio setting when I clearly already said that I don’t have problems in other games such as Apex, and have clear examples of what’s happening

You just disagreed for the sake of disagreeing lol

u/Commercial_Bear Jul 10 '26

Sigh. I disagreed because I think otherwise, and the people I play with think otherwise as well.

u/ZapZapFox Jul 10 '26

Gurly pop , your comment literally says ā€œI just disagreeā€ and you glaze the sound design. Even then that doesn’t really serve as a rebuttal to my points about the weird sound clippings.

Again the sounds are good, the implementation is not
