Marathon – Proximity chat technology is one of the very interesting features and makes the play experience more exciting. This feature sometimes makes interesting moments in a game such as Call of Duty Warzone.

But unfortunately, this feature is certainly sometimes used by naughty gamers to say rude or toxic to other players around him. And these features don’t seem to be presented in Bungie’s latest Extraction Shooter game, Marathon.

Marathon does not present proximity chat features

Reporting from PC Gamer, Marathon Game Director Joe Ziegler talks about the Proximity Chat feature at the interview at the Bungie Seattle studio. He explained the reasons why Marathon did not present these features.

When discussing Prox Chat, I don’t think we are against his experience. In my opinion the challenge is how to ensure we create a safe environment for players in the scope.

I’m not sure people really have a good solution to this right now. Because we are very dedicated to ensuring that we create a safe scope where we do not get players who only mock or do bad things to each other. I think we are not ready to enter Prox Chat until we have a solution.

This reason makes Bungie choose not to present these features in the Marathon game. Indeed, not a few gamers who use Proximity Chat to say rude because of the atmosphere, especially in action games. So it’s only natural that Bungie doesn’t want something bad that happens.

Proximity Chat is also a good feature

This explanation certainly raises the pros and cons for gamers. On the one hand, gamers really like this feature because they can get acquainted with other gamers who might be close friends in the future.

But on the other hand, there are also gamers who feel uncomfortable listening to the voices of foreigners in the game. But in game extraction shooters such as marathon, the presence of this feature will certainly enhance play experience with various situations that occur due to communication between players through these features.

And indeed, Joe Ziegler himself explained that if they find a solution or find a good way to implement this feature, they will do it directly.

But for now, the problem mentioned earlier is still a challenge for both Bungie and other companies that want to implement this Proximity Chat feature.
