I played the server slam and something felt… off.

First, movement felt horrendously slow. That might have been because of the FOV limit, I usually play around 110 and I think the slider capped at 100z Sprinting hardly felt like a sprint at all - I could barely tell that I was moving any faster.

The most disappointing part was the gunplay. I was expecting this to have the crisp gunplay of Destiny and Halo, but it just… didn’t. That issue became even more glaring when I hopped into Halo 2 the next day and found the gunplay to be substantially more satisfying than Marathon’s.

Far as extraction shooters are concerned, I can like them just fine. I actually really enjoy ARC Raiders. This just felt… hollow.

Maybe I didn’t play / see enough though. I only put in 3-5 rounds before getting bored.
