The Marathon server slam seems to be going well, especially when some players look away from the game's user interface long enough to stop puking. Bungie's maximalist UI is causing some headaches. "They REALLY need to pull back on the whole 'abstract' thing for the UI," says Kelski. Bungie's UI currently looks a bit more like a graphic design portfolio in dark mode than a truly useful interface ahead of the Marathon release date on March 5 – but players are making it clear that they don't want boring, politician's contact form in light mode instead. They just want to know where their ammo is. Bungie responds to early Marathon complaints: confusing UI, PvP is infrequent, voice chat has problems, among others Marathon is '90s futurism, according to Bungie lead, who says the shooter was "deeply inspired" by wild PlayStation ads Comparisons to Concord didn't feel great, says ex Marathon art director, but haters "can't take the thing I care about the most" Marathon gotta be the first ever fontslop gameThere's like 20 different combinations of fonts, boldness levels, sizes, spacing, all caps vs regular caps, all on one menu pageJust an absolute eye sore 🫩They REALLY need to pull back on the whole "abstract" thing for the UI pic.twitter.com/Ra89yB8dhpFebruary 27, 2026 Marathon gotta be the first ever fontslop gameThere's like 20 different combinations of fonts, boldness levels, sizes, spacing, all caps vs regular caps, all on one menu pageJust an absolute eye sore 🫩They REALLY need to pull back on the whole "abstract" thing for the UI pic.twitter.com/Ra89yB8dhpFebruary 27, 2026 Marathon gotta be the first ever fontslop gameThere's like 20 different combinations of fonts, boldness levels, sizes, spacing, all caps vs regular caps, all on one menu pageJust an absolute eye sore 🫩They REALLY need to pull back on the whole "abstract" thing for the UI pic.twitter.com/Ra89yB8dhpFebruary 27, 2026 "I felt like I was reading another language," replies streamer Reforge Gaming. But, like with most languages, there are other people who are already fluent. Another Marathon player wonders, "What is going on? is everybody on mars? had very low expectations from the feedback but the UI/menus are not the problem in the slightest." To each their own UI. Bungie responds to early Marathon complaints: the UI is confusing, PvP is infrequent, and voice chat is not working, amid other issues.
