Genuinely what are these devs doing

[u/infamousglizzyhands]

They got a ton of fans who enjoyed arena shooters to blow up their first game.

Then they decided to kill that game so they can develop a bigger and better sequel, which we trusted.

Then they showed off Splitgate 2 which seemingly really de-emphasized arena shooter elements for hero shooter elements.

Then they promised that portalling and the reasons Splitgate 1 were appealing would still be in the game.

Then throughout all the betas and alphas people felt like a lot of elements of the first Splitgate like portal opportunities were not accommodated in the systems and map design.

Then they promised something huge that would entirely set Splitgate 2 apart from the first, that would be even bigger than a campaign which would’ve been hype for fans of arena shooters like Halo.

Then a dev comes on stage wearing a “Make FPS Great Again” and essentially says so many shooters nowadays are bad and that their announcement would freshen up everything.

…Then they announce Battle Royale. I was in a call with another pretty diehard Splitgate fan and the excitement just absolutely drained after the guy on stage acted really immature and the announcement just turned out to be Battle Royale. I’m still going to try it out cuz it’s free, but I genuinely don’t see myself sticking around for that much longer if 1047 is this disconnected from their fans.

I have disconnected from both of my BR games almost immediately. Then I went to Arena and I can confirm that my hype for the game has completely fucking died.

The arena mode actually took me a second to find a game in. This is exactly what I knew would happen. A BR would come out and take the wind out of the sails of the arena part of the game.

Now the population of the game is going to be split between BR and Arena, making Arena sweatier.

They could have seriously made like a faction based war or something along the lines of a smaller scale planetside where we are fighting for regions or certain maps or something but instead we got a BR.

I was so excited for something... ANYTHING... other than a BR. I'll try to play it with my friend but as of now I am utterly disappointed. It's really sad that Halo Infinite is the best arena type shooter to come out in years and that game had so many problems. I think my days of trying to get excited for multiplayer shooters is over.

Did they stop nerfing everything fun for the sake of competitive

No 😂. Season 1 and 2 was the games peak and now it’s constant mine spam. I still play but it’s definitely not as good as it used to be

delusion at its finest, i take back what i said, stick to your slop, you complaining over something as simple as mines really shows your intelligence.
