Maraton Detayları: Güçlü Hile Önleme Sistemleri, Kalıcı Yasaklar ve Platforma Özel Bonuslar

Excitement is building for the launch of Marathon next week, with an upcoming Server Slam test this weekend, aiming to win over extraction shooter fans. Ahead of this event, Bungie has outlined an impressive effort regarding the networking and security features that will be implemented from the game's start.

The Sony-owned developer published a detailed blog post on February 23rd that explains what players can expect from the game’s security layers and key network features. These elements are crucial for a fair online experience, as many competitive shooters often launch without a sufficiently robust state. Bungie has made Marathon’s dedicated servers fully authoritative on key combat and looting actions. This means any correction of suspicious behavior will not impact other players or their experience. This system is combined with client-side prediction and rewind to ensure actions feel immediate. The developer also promised that servers will carefully track each bullet to its target, even with high packet loss, which should ensure consistent hit registration at launch.

To combat wall hacks and other cheats that might reveal the position of players or key items, a Fog of War system limits the regions of a map that individual player clients have knowledge of, helping to keep a player's position hidden from other players' clients. I see this as a comprehensive approach to a problem that plagues online shooters. While not a guaranteed solution on its own, it is a significant part of the game's arsenal against cheaters.

The security stack was rebuilt from the ground up for Marathon and will work alongside the BattlEye anti-cheat solution. The game will also handle mid-run internet disconnections by allowing players to reconnect and continue their session. If a connection recovery fails due to an issue with Bungie’s server or network infrastructure, the developer will attempt to return the starting gear to all impacted players. Bungie also delivered a stark warning to those considering using unauthorized software.

"Anyone found to be cheating will be permabanned from playing Marathon forever."

There will be no second chances for cheaters. The veteran online shooter developer acknowledges that product security is never a fully solved issue and stated it will continue to invest in its systems and infrastructure for the life of the game. Beyond security, Bungie also confirmed that exclusive cosmetic items will not be limited to one platform. The developer's social media account indicated that after showing off a selection of PlayStation-exclusive weapon charms, similar cosmetics are coming to PC and Xbox. This post, made in response to the community, stated that weapon charms for Steam and Xbox players will be shared in the future. The charms revealed for PlayStation players include cosmetic items that reference Ghost of Yotei, Death Stranding 2, and Helldivers 2. This raises questions about which games might receive nods as attachments for PC and Xbox players. I do think this test is crucial for public perception.

Momentum for the game appears to be growing. Marathon occupied a significant spot during the recent Sony State of Play presentation, and the Server Slam test, scheduled between February 26th and March 2nd, will give players a final chance to form their own opinion on the game. The project has faced its share of development hurdles. Initial feedback from previous tests was not entirely positive, with criticism aimed at the PvE aspects and missing features like proximity voice chat. The studio also dealt with a plagiarism scandal, which required developers to comb through the game to remove art assets belonging to the artist Antireal. The game’s journey to its release on March 5th is now almost complete, bringing with it both strict anti-cheat policies and.

Players will become cybernetic "Runners" in a player-versus-player-versus-environment experience, competing for resources against each other and AI enemies. The game is scheduled to launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S with full cross-play and cross-save. Its path to release included a significant delay and a controversy involving stolen art assets.
