THE FUSE

Since the release of Marathon on March 5, a lot has been written and said about Bungie's latest shooter. Much of the discourse has been negative, predicting the imminent death of the game due to declining player counts. During that time, Bungie has said precious little about its plans for Marathon, other than to reiterate its commitment to the game for the long haul. That changed this week when the studio published a lengthy blog from Game Director Joe Ziegler. The post details Bungie's overarching strategy for Marathon, starting with an acknowledgement of the areas where the game falls short.
