Bungie Disables Marathon Cryo Archive as Season 2 Revive Exploit Blocks Player Respawns

1 articles · Updated · Yahoo · Jun 12

Summary

  • Bungie shut off access to Marathon's Cryo Archive on June 12 after players reported downed teammates could not be revived in the endgame mode.
  • The studio said the shutdown was a precaution while it investigates the cause and works on a fix to restore the raid-like activity.
  • Season 2 launched just last week, and the Cryo Archive outage adds to a run of bugs and hotfixes that have disrupted the new content.
  • The timing is especially awkward because Marathon is in a free week aimed at attracting new players, while community reaction has focused on the game's unstable state.
