Extraction shooters are known for being harsh, but even within the genre, Marathon is a bit of an outlier when it comes to just how unforgiving it can be. There’s no way to safeguard your loot and very little incentive for other players not to immediately shoot you on sight. Bungie recently tried to inject more incentives to cooperate and be nice to one another. The results so far have been fascinating, including some players finding clever ways to make the game even more brutal.
