A first look at this PvP extraction shooter from Bungie.

The original Marathon trilogy of titles were first-person shooters set in a sci-fi universe that had a heavy emphasis on storytelling.

Though the core game is still co-op against the zeds, there are some competitive modes that see groups of four going up against another group of four players. Of course, the big wildcard in this is the always present swarm of undead that tends not to pick sides in this competitive battle. They're an equal-opportunity opponent. ...
