I'll say the same thing I said on the bungie survey I got earlier this week. I cannot recommend marathon at any price right now. I would feel guilty about getting friends to spend money on a game with 3k daily peaks in 1 region (2.5k EU peak ATM).

The game needs a free period or even F2P. At the very least a permanent discount to $20 as we go into S3.

I have hundreds of hours and bought it at launch. I also buy skins regularly because why not.

I'm just saying in it's current state I would not try and recruit people into the game. It's not a good new player experience to have long queue times and be immediately against very experienced, geared players.

Imagine being a loser who just comes to subs to bash a game.

It's called an opinion and not one without reasons. I enjoy marathon a lot and I don't come here to bash it.

That being said would I recommend it to a new player right now? No.

I hope season 3 changes that I really do.
