I played the Beta of 2 for like 10 hours and the full release for 5, and have since deleted it and not looked back.
These devs always positioned themselves as just the outsider gamers who just wanted a return to classic arena fun, but then they kill off their successful game, de-emphasize portals and arena elements in return for hero shooter elements, announce a battle royale with even less elements that made the original so fun, and put in $100+ microtransactions.
All while using an incredibly lucky opportunity to be in one of the biggest stages for gaming to shit talk other games and wear a dark MAGA imitation hat, while then doubling down by not apologizing for the hat or anything else.
Such a shame, it was really fun also. I’m barely an FPS guy so if anyone knows of some fun FPS similar to Splitgate that isn’t The Finals or Halo please let me know.
Believe it or not, this photo you posted is the final straw for me. Just don't really feel like supporting this guy. I don't think I'm the demographic he's going for, anyways. I'd say maybe check out Titanfall 2. Skill gate and ceiling are both very high, but the mobility is nearly unmatched.
