So who is getting Marathon? (Gaming)

I'm interested in the Server Slam event but am going into it with a feeling of "ok Marathon...this is your last chance to win me over." The first playtest I was in was fun, the second was very frustrating and I deleted it within a day.

Arc Raiders has been a blast. As mentioned above, it's become a mostly PvE game with the ever looming threat of a player taking you out. And when it's a game that involves successfully extracting with your loot to progress your game, I better have more successful exfils than not...or else I won't be playing for long. I fear that Marathon is just going to be a constant rotation of getting beat down and never successfully extracting. I don't have the time anymore to play games with enough frequency to git gud at them. A chill experience with some occasional excitement is my speed these days, and Marathon seems to be full throttle the whole time.
