Which is SUPER intriguing to me. And certainly more engaging than a regular PvP match (BR or arena) or a random seasonal event in Destiny. It's a strange balance and it's possible they'll strike it right or they'll fail to find the right note.

Interestingly, I was thinking back to Trials of Osiris. Extraction shooters are supposed to be really tense right? Well, when we were 8-0 in Trials without a mercy buff, and it was the final round, I was 100x as tense as at any moment in Marathon.

The threat of losing everything just isn't hitting that tension and climactic release for me.

Sure, I had a thrilling moment where we were ambushed and they had the high ground. We killed them and made it out. But that was a 4/10 on the rush scale, not 10/10 like Trials could be.
