That cost can be an ability charge, heat buildup, or increased risk but it must exist and be understandable to an observer,&#8221; Bungie said in the patch notes. &#8220;Unbounded movement, while expressive and clip-worthy, is ultimately unhealthy for the pace of play we want to maintain for Marathon. To set expectations early, we will be looking at any future movement exploits through the same lens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While we should spare a moment of silence for those in the Marathon highlight reel ecosystem who must once again remain within intended velocity margins, I think I speak for many when I say: <em>Thank god<\/em>. Nothing turns me off a shooter like the idea of having to contend with high-intensity combat contortionists. I&#8217;m an honest man and I expect to be murdered in honest ways.<\/p>\n<p>If I ambush you with a shotgun, I guarantee it&#8217;ll be at a respectable, pedestrian pace. Hopefully you&#8217;ll return the courtesy.
