So who is getting Marathon? (Gaming)

Was able to run through some intro stuff yesterday and this morning.

The tutorial seemed kind of hard, I failed once, glitched it once, then got lost on the 3rd attempt and eventually did exfil. It was very unclear exactly what I needed to do to make the exfil happen.

Today I started figuring it out a bit more. I ran two normal missions, but got murdered in both. The third mission, I actually got a bunch of kills, but one teammate ran away and exfiled, the 2nd one got downed by UESC, but I couldn't save him because I ran out of ammo (even though it seemed like I had some in my backpack, I couldn't figure out how to use it). Then I did what I was supposed to do for my contract, then tried to exfil. I started it and stood there waiting for a timer, but then I got attacked by a UESC bot. Since I didn't have ammo, I just sort of dodged behind the pylon for a while and then also used my shield. Finally a timer popped up for 10 seconds, and I figured I was going to be able to escape. Nope! Some other bot flew in at literally 0s on the timer and booped me off the platform, I missed the exfil, then it dropped down and murdered me at it's leisure.

So that was a little frustrating, but I am excited to play again and hopefully figure some more things out. I assume it will be more fun with a team of DBOers
