Marathon seemingly won't follow Arc Raiders' lead in separating aggressive players from those who prefer a more peaceful run through matchmaking.

Marathon game director Joe Ziegler says as much in an interview with Ali213, translated via machine learning, explaining that the extraction shooter won't have special matchmaking rules to loosely organize violent and non-violent players into separate matches. Mind you, that doesn't mean Marathon isn't trying to accommodate friendlier players since proximity chat and other social tools are still apparently here, too.
