I think my biggest issue with Marathon lately...
has nothing to do with the game itself.
Like, think about what we had BEFORE the game. We had cinematics, we had ARGs, we had world building and lore being fed to us that wove the story of the game.
Season 2 offered... Night Marsh. There was no new lore. No new big reason we are on Tau Ceti. No factions even reacting to us KILLING A COMPILER, let alone that one even was on the Marathon ship to begin with.
Bungie told us that they were going to continue ARGs when the game launched, yet the only thing we got was the micro ARG to unlock Outpost.
This community was forged together in cooperation with each other, and the world that was built.
There is no purpose behind Marathon at the moment (story wise)
Rebuilding this community needs to start with what formed it in the first place.
Even in the case of cinematics (Ignoring trailers and shell cinematics) we haven't gotten ANYTHING in the last 6 months.
This world and the lore surrounding it is so rich, yet this entire second season has given us virtually nothing.
That being said, I'm REALLY hopeful for the December update to give us something new. but PLEASE Bungie, think about the roots of this community and come back to the mindset that made us all fall in love with this game.
