With the extended Marathon Closed Alpha and these “Dangerous Days” with the faction upgrades being finished for all players and tomorrow giving us more UESC Incursions and danger, what’s the vibe on how it feels?
Friends and I have been enjoying some of the increased effects, especially w/ heat capacity and agility being so much higher than their base and letting you move across the map pretty quickly. I always struggled to make it to far away Intercept events but the better macro movement made it way more free form. Some feel a bit more underwhelming, especially the smoke bomb on exfil which feels pretty pitiful considering how much better it is to move away and take different angles. Same about the upgraded sponsor kit—the only noticeable difference I had the first one I used today was a single smoke grenade, but I know there’s some random chances for other things I might not have seen yet.
Hopeful that tomorrow’s extra UESC also changes some gameplay for the last day of the Closed Alpha. How’s everyone else feeling about it so far?
