changedOur experiment is almost complete with the duos queue and we've gathered a lot of valuable information to help us finalize our plans for duos for Season 2. With the culmination of the duo experiment, we just wanted to thank everyone who has participated and helped us learn more about duos in Marathon, and tease that we're looking to bring the queue back better than ever in the course of Season 2. More details to come on that in future updates.
addedThere will be a new experimental queue starting on 4/15 at 10 PT. More details about this queue coming next week.
addedIn regards to experiments, we have a new experimental queue we'll be running starting on 4/15. We'll have more information on this queue within the next week, and look forward to you joining us again to help us learn more about additional features we're interested in adding to our game.
addedThere's been some confusion so just to clarify there will only be one experimental queue running at any given time. A new experiment will begin on 4/15 at 10AM PT. Thanks!
