Marathon

Managed to get a few more games in over lunch. Really enjoying it and I'm preferring the challenge of playing it solo rather than in random groups although I expect it's fantastic playing in a trio with people you know.

Last night I was on Perimeter by the hauler and playing as a Rook. I could hear someone somewhere nearby so I put the Rook's Signal Mast on and a few seconds later, the runner just ran straight past me. He ran outside and looted outside and I was able to take him out. Then a few minutes later towards the end of the round, the same thing happened again!

I find this more haunting to play than Arc Raiders when I've got headphones on. The sound design is amazing!

I've seen a few articles saying how the game is struggling for players though. I hope the dev's keep working on it and it's gains some more traction.

I had some good games on this over the weekend as a solo player.

On one, I was on Perimeter and I could hear footsteps so I stopped, hid and about 30 seconds later, a guy ran around the corner, didn't see me and he just kept running. He stopped to loot a box and then ran on. I had my friendly arc raiders lobby hat on so I fired a warning shot and he looked at me, crouched up and down, I crouched up and down and we went our separate ways.

Five minutes later in the same game, I then came around a corner and I was right behind another guy for about 5 seconds. Could have taken him out but I thought, "nah - be friendly". He turned around and just hammered me and I died. Note to self: This isn't Arc Raiders.

Really enjoying it at the moment. I wish it had more attention!
 
I'm surprised it wasn't on sale a bit sooner. The numbers have been on a steady decline. It does genuinely look good, but I just can't see Sony *not* pulling the plug in the next few months.
