As the first season of Marathon comes to a close, I decided to look back on my stats for the last three months on YouTube and here.
It was the best 3 month run I’ve had. Ever.
I want to thank everyone who watched, subbed, followed, and interacted.
And some special thanks…
The irony of all these miserable bums calling Hollowtide a shill is that he's legitimately the most slept AND unapproved-for-the-marathon-creater-program marathon creator in the space
I was having a good time playing Marathon, and then I unlocked Outpost...
Holy shit man that map is phenomenal. The increased PvP, environmental hazards, puzzles, and moment to moment tension when all that comes together...
Holy fuck people are so miserable over video games
Play Arc if you like it
Play Marathon if you like it
Play both? They're different experiences
Just shut up about it
Halo Hot Take🔥
Halo 5 is the best Halo multiplayer because it has the most hype/entertainment ceiling due to the high speed gameplay/button combos/fun animations, it has the most vast sandbox with so many useful weapons, it has the biggest skill gap/ceiling, solid medals, and also has many top quality maps/gametypes.
If you think about it, Halo 5 is really just classic Halo with 8 different starting utilities:
1. Sprint
2. Clamber
3. Slide
4. Thrust
5. Stabilize (Such a good mechanic btw)
6. Ground Pound
7. Charge
8. Spring Jump
Everything else is about standard Halo, controlling the map and getting the weapons. Not sure why so many people always say "Halo 5 isn't Halo" when it's just classic Halo with modernized starting mechanics. It still is equal starting loadouts and doesn't have any annoying equipment on the map. The starting mechanics are all balanced well.
Gamers that don't try Halo 5 on the Xbox Series X are gonna miss out on potentially the best high level cyber dueling Halo multiplayer experience of all-time! It plays so smoothly on the Series X!
Fun fact: Halo 5 introduced the pinging feature. By pressing the d-pad your service tag will flash to let your teammates know something is happening. In Halo Infinite it got advanced further to actual pinging locations on the map.
Just a little something I threw together, you can put in work with minimal gear if you are familiar with your kit

So if you're an indie game dev out there, silently... passionately cooking up the next big arena shooter which relies on tight gunplay, movement, and tactics rather than regurgitated hero archetypes... I'm fucking cheering for ya
