Marathon’s New Ranked Mode Is Super Weird… And Genius

Even in the game Marathon, where players rarely interact positively, it’s hard to define what winning even means. Everyone has different goals and ideas of success. Marathon‘s open-ended gameplay is meant to be unpredictable, so ranking players simply by kills or completed tasks doesn’t fit the game’s design. Instead, a ranking system needs to work with Marathon‘s ongoing loot system, which is what Bungie has attempted to create.
