Hey people, post your ID codes so we can find one another in Splitgate (I think this is cross-platform?): 1. In the main menu screen click on the "people" icon in the top right of the screen 2. On top of the screen click on the third option from the left (add friends) 3. Copy the code and past it itt, you can also add people from that screen and manage invites L5F1BANA, feel free to add me. Let's finally play this together

this game is fuckin sick, drat. just played a couple casual rounds after messing around in the races and it feels great, even with a controller. I'm playing on ps4, and it not only has mouse/keyboard support but also an actual FOV slider. way more polished than i expected

It's different modes with worse less fun starting loadouts. Mostly KoTH or domination and carbine + pistol instead of carbine + AR

(You also get booed if you do it during final kill am) Ranked has it's own maps, but the game modes are available in casual. Casual has weak/no matchmaking so you can end up against way better or worse players.

Probably not able to play too much except after midnight CST but here's my ID code: 4ERUVXBL EDIT: Went over level 10 without realizing it. Thought my level was actually the "battlepass" number instead. Tried out instagib. Completely ruined by the firing delay on the railgun. SWAT mode (instant headshot death) is currently a much better version of instagib. EDIT 2X: Also if someone on the fence would like to use my referral pass I might be able to at least tell one gun apart with the dumb skin I'll get, thanks in advance: 9W5AG8 The Joe Man fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Aug 13, 2021 |

Well I'm enjoying myself so much I've even decided to throw some money at this. Its very possibly this game will die once Halo Infinite comes out, but until then... LGP74VE3 - to play with me, Europe times mostly 5GUNIW - to give me free things. Mega Comrade fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Aug 13, 2021 |

yeah for a game that's basically just "Halo MP but add a portal gun and a jetpack" it's pretty fun, though overall I feel the more open outdoor style maps work better than the tight indoor maps

I feel like the game should force people to play on the Olympus map for the first couple of matches as an extension of training because there you simply need to use portals to move from place to place. I know it's probably a bad idea but I want more people to use portals  .

I know it's probably a bad idea but I want more people to use portals The difficult thing as a newbie on olympus is quickly visually identifying places you can portal to, it's all blue on blue over blue. The ruins map with the flood green filter color is much easier to navigate with portals.

My main issue with the game at the moment is the interface. It's really bad. Huge tiles that you have to scroll across to see everything and when you have a bunch of stuff unlocked you have to hunt for them to get rid of the 'new' notification. Also what's with the shop? Is it a small rotation of stuff only? I see lots of people in skins that don't seem to be available.

Is it just me or is the BFB kind of bad, like sure it's a one hit kill but unless you sneak up on an enemy or surprise them around a corner they'll just gun you down while you try to close the gap, feels like it needs something like the lunge* that the energy sword in Halo had, not like it'd be particularly broken considering by default rules the BFB only has four charges and takes 150 seconds to respawn(honestly the scarcity of map weapons and the overall low ammo pools is one of the few things that I don't like about the game as it makes matches a bit repetitive as you'll be using your default weapons for like 95% of the match) Also I feel the Carbine could maybe stand to have a slight nerf to its damage, it feels a little too good in that regard when you take into account both it's very long range and it being one of the default weapons in almost all of the game's modes(honestly it's kind of weird that it's the Carbine that is the universal one between Casual and Ranked) *I think it technically has one already but it's so short ranged it barely matters

Those things might get tweaked as the game really is in a beta state where they're actively working on many of its systems. I've read somewhere that they want to add automatic grabbing on ledges and sliding to the game - that last one could make BFB more viable for example.

Dumb question but can someone explain the two different exp meters? There's orange and blue and they both seem to go up at the same time. I think orange is my "player level" and after 4 hours I'm still barely at 3? If orange is player level, what's blue? They really need some tooltips to explain these... I like Teabag Confirmed because even though the premise stems from horrible toxic garbage most of the other newbie players here in casual mode seem to have no idea what they're supposed to do so I can feel awesome with a 10 point lead by myself just by reading the one-sentence rules and actually trying.

I'm brand new and just started, so I'm unsure too, but I was guessing the orange was your battle pass level and the blue is your player level.

Blue is your actual account level, when it gets to 20 you unlock ranked etc. Orange is battlepass level or some bullshit drrockso20 posted:Is it just me or is the BFB kind of bad, like sure it's a one hit kill but unless you sneak up on an enemy or surprise them around a corner they'll just gun you down while you try to close the gap, feels like it needs something like the lunge* that the energy sword in Halo had, not like it'd be particularly broken considering by default rules the BFB only has four charges and takes 150 seconds to respawn(honestly the scarcity of map weapons and the overall low ammo pools is one of the few things that I don't like about the game as it makes matches a bit repetitive as you'll be using your default weapons for like 95% of the match) To get bat kills you're meant to use portals to come at people from behind. It's way easier to flank in this game than in halo because of the increased mobility.

There are 2 types of ranked. 4v4 which unlocks at level 10. And 3v3 elimination which unlocks at level 20.

Oh, well I'm glad blue is my player level because then I'm much closer to unlocking stuff. But what the heck does "battle pass" orange level do? It seems to just be another list of cosmetic drops/unlocks behind it and that's it?

Yes it's just that. The 'battle pass' made a ton of money in fortnite and now every f2p game on earth copies it. Outside of beta it will probably be a 2-tiered system, where each level has some free rewards and then a second set of paid rewards that you can get if you pay 15bux for the premium battle pass, with stuff like cash-shop skins.

My friend code is GQ7158X1. I'm EST, on when I can because I'm currently at home with a newborn. Playing this on voice chat with friends is pretty fun, I've been playing a bunch with my brothers. Still terrible though. The bat rules and is a lot of fun.

I'm so close to unlocking the golden shotgun skin, I can almost taste it. Sniper+Shotgun mode (aka Portal+Shotgun mode for me) owns hard. Weapons feel really good in this game, shotgun included.

Played like a dozen rounds, this game is fun. My first round on the mcguffin hold gamemode I started ducking into portals to get away from people while I had the ball, and by the end of the match it seemed like a few other players had figured out that was a good idea, so that's fun.

Yep! I see people starting to get the hang of it since I started playing like a week ago. Which means I'll have to get my fill of it while it's still new, because there's no way I'll be able to keep up with people who are better at video games than me (most people) not to mention use mouse + keyboard
