  Are you able to leave your house? People are going to wear shit and make jokes. There is no use getting hung up on things that are well out of your control.

    Shit take. There is a difference between seeing something out on the street and choosing not to support a developer because of their shitty behavior

    And I am also free to think the joke is in bad taste and to refuse support for a game that makes jokes that make light of the shit situation I’m in :)

  So this is a little off topic but is SG2 any good?

  I was in love with splitgate 1 at launch then stopped kinda played off and on during the last season and put down the game after they announced they’d stopped. I played some of the closed betas and stuff just felt off, 1 felt like maps were designed with portals in mind offering sight lines and some risky areas if you were gonna shoot thru portals, but 2 felt like they made a pretty cross between a hero/ability plus arena shooter then slapped portals on it, and it just didn’t feel like splitgate to me.

    Its not very good

    I mean, abilities? OK, why not.

    Different classes? Well, ok I guess?

    But like, I can’t get into a match where anyone is using portals. In the only arena from SG 1 you can actually See some intent in being Portal oriented, but in all New areas they just dont make sense to usw. The Objectives are placed completely Outside of any Portal areas, and even where they are placed its just like „If you run to the other side of the Map and back, you can flank some random angle no one will ever use

    And why make every classes weapon different?

    Also, power weapons are just not worth picking up, every 2. Player is a bot, and the game itself feels pretty soulless with this corporate arena vibe that the finals have done better already.

      Yeah you’ve just summed up what I’ve been struggling to put into words it just feels off

      Ngl if it wasn’t splitgate and remove the portals I think it could have been a good f2p shooter that’s a little bit of arena.

      I was never good at portaling in 1 but it was fun, during the closed betas it felt like a way to shave off a couple seconds running instead of using it to flank or get wierd angles

      Also yeah it felt very… sterile idk… like it was made for esports both in lore (which isn’t bad) and irl

        If you didn’t have the portals, you could just play halo, which I’m doing now

        About 1, it was always really fun having 2 ends of the maps as bases and just trying to hold it while trying to portal to the other. At least that’s what I remember. The weapons were also fun (which I can’t say about every weapon except from the fortitude class, since 1 aero’s feels like a paint gun damage wise and the energy gun is an SMG, if someone took it and just completely ruined it for CQC by making the projectiles have the travel time of a sniper firing at 1km.), and the gameplay itself was way less ability centred.

        Also, making the lore of a game „Its esports” is just so generic. Sure, turn it into a Gulag people are thrown into by the rich. Turn one company into the bad guy if you want. But not this shit
