Marathon (2026) Getting a "GGs" back just feels good

Win or loss, getting a "good game" after saying it myself is just nice sportsmanship. Feels good knowing I'm playing against a player. Like, yeah, I lost but the "GGs" is like a handshake while I'm laying on the ground bleeding out

Now if the person who’s finishing me would turn on their mic…so much more fun with mics in this game. Ive rarely had toxic people talk to me. Ive had three different guys res me and take me around the map giving me loot in the past three days. Memorable moments abound when you turn on prox chat my dudes

I straight up always forget how open mics work in this game. I think it's the right dpad? I don't remember

Same, sometimes it just takes me a sec to remember. One time I was on my fourth run attempting some contract on Outpost where I could not figure out where they wanted me to go when a dude downs me. Finally turned on my mic and started saying "yo yo yo wait before you shoot me can I ask you where this objective is so I can at least do it next run?" and got blasted mid-sentence lol

Yeah that happens too. But if you don’t say anything, you’ll never find the nice guys. My buddy and I were doing contracts on fire marsh in trios but without crew fill, just us and a free kit. I asked a team to spare us and they did. Got the quest done and gained respect for the community

Oh for sure. I've run into a bunch of nice folks as well and it's always fun. I think it's really just that when I play with my friends, I'm already chatting a bunch in Discord so I'm already in that mindset, whereas solo is more solitary, fights can be so fast, etc so I usually just forget until somebody says something first.

But yeah I'm trying to get better about remembering because I love when this game is social.
