I still mostly traverse the maps via jetpack, but will frequently set up some portals as either shortcuts (especially in Domination, when having a quick way to jump between two hills is great) or as ways to try to cover more area. (One thing I'm thinking of is on Helix, where I'll put one in one of the small side rooms (hill A or C in domination) and the other in the hallway across the gap from that room, so I'll have either a way out should someone drop in on me, or a way to see somebody coming.) Also, unlike Rocket League, I don't feel like I'm not accomplishing anything not playing ranked. (Although I haven't played casual rocket league since the latest update that limited leaving games.) Casual is fun and crazy and I can get wrecked and then go 15-2 in the next game. Ranked is neat (I wish there were more ranked modes besides 49% domination, 49% KotH, and 2% TDM), but I can select a bunch of casual playlists and get all sorts of crazy games back to back - why not ranked Oddball, or VIP?

I feel like their choices for ranked modes show that they wanted that to become the next serious e-sports thing.

I just started playing the game but it feels like a lot of the design decisions were based on it not blowing up a ton in the past few months I'm still eagerly awaiting the ps5 native version

The level design in this slams between this is a fun and good map to what in the gently caress is this weird rear end vertical visual noise garbage i am stuck in. Still fun.

poo poo, just played a game of oddball where I must have had 10 (if not more) kills just whacking dudes with the ball. Very satisfying. Edit: was very surprised (and disappointed) that wasn’t a stat shown at the end of the game Edit again: found it on a tracker site; it was only 8

I bought the pass for $10 because I’ve played enough now I don’t at all feel bad throwing the devs $10. The progression definitely adds a little bit more motivation to keep playing, and I will, but I hope they continue to be successful and add more goofy and fun cosmetics or whatever. It’ll be interesting to see what they do in the next couple months to try to keep players from jumping shark to halo infinite. I’ve seen it posted in articles and repeated by a couple friends that the game is fun but they are just playing because what they really wanna do is play halo infinite. Sorry if this has been brought up a thousand times. I’m excited about Splitgate because so far it’s proven to be really fun to play and who knows how halo is gonna turn out.

the maps are not designed for it and it really starts to show which maps in this are complete rear end but some of them you can have a high speed portal fling going to bop someone

Gave this a try on a whim and yeah the title is really not exaggerating. I've really enjoyed it so far and honestly don't have many complaints. The only thing I'm really missing is some of the more unusual guns from Halo, like the grenade launcher from Reach. Given that there aren't regular grenades in this game it'd be cool to have such a thing as a weapon and it'd allow for some wild stuff with the portals in play.

what maps does the pistol show up on, if any? I've only ever gotten to use it in the 3v3 modes, and I want to mess with it some more

I've said it before but the Carbine needs a slight nerf it's just too good as the defacto default weapon in this game, makes most of the other weapons feel somewhat underwhelming particularly with how few weapon pickups most maps have and how long the respawn times for them are as well(not to mention how low the ammo pools for them are)

I just read a tooltip that you can press 'i' in-game for your character to look at his weapon from different sides. Functionally meaningless but a nice little touch to look at some cool special skin.

Woahhhh. Just bumping this thread to say I have spent the last two nights playing this game and it’s incredible. Really scratches all my old school FPS itches in so many ways. The game is so well designed that friends have a blast playing it their first time, yet there is so much depth to learn new tactics. I feel like if I was on the Halo Infinite team I’d be stressed to match it.

 Lol I thought it was already out of beta? Seems not, they just took off the beta tag. Anyway this is great news, the games in a pretty good state with just 4(?) devs so be great to see what they can do with more (hopefully they hire some UI devs....)

I was getting really frustrated on Olympus yesterday. It's got a lot going on visually, including lots of blue walls and other surfaces, and the blue sky, and it makes it kinda hard to pick out the portal walls in the distance if you don't already know where they all are. They could probably fix it pretty easily by just changing the color scheme for the portal surfaces on that map alone, like make them bright green, then you can leave everything else the same

I think initially halo will of course take the limelight, but who knows how long Microsoft will actually support it. For me personally I like the sprinkling of more traditional arena shooters this game has over halo, so I don't see myself abandoning it.

It's nice to have something so simple to get into for a quick game or three (if you aren't made to queue). It's satisfying my Quake Champions itch since that became a dead garbage fire - I hope this doesn't go the same way. It's also good to have a multiplayer FPS I can play with a controller on Steam and not get murked. Except for choosing to play an fps with controller, obviously.

Halo might take away some light from this game but this game is also on PlayStation so it can’t take it all away. I’m sure they could get a ton of former Xbox fans that switched to PlayStation like me. Just played for a few hours today, the most fun I’ve had with a game that feels like classic Halo since bungie left. The portals are such a great twist.

Played a bunch of showdown and takedown with 2 friends on discord the other night and those two modes are amazing with friends. They quickly went from my least favorite to my favorite mode to play once you have people to coordinate with, it rules. They're so frantic, trying to quickly find and down the last enemy or just stay alive a few more seconds to let your friends rez, or any time you get the bat in the one with random loadouts

Yeah takedown is proper nail-biting at times. I can see why it's the mode they decided to focus on for their esports push.

https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/1438674313255739398 The game is doing well on playstation. I still can't believe none of my friends that play games have gotten super into this. Every time I sit down to play another game, it ends up turning into a Splitgate session.

Heard a lot about this and finally tried it and... yeah its actually really good? They cribbed a TON from Halo, but in a good way. And since Bungie isn't making Halo anymore and 343i can't make a good one, hey, I'll take it.

I really like this game and think it will have some lasting power. The gameplay is satisfying in a way that feels genuinely new, and it feels like they got a lot of the nuances around gunplay, movement, networking etc. right to produce something that feels great. Wouldn't be surprised to see this take off to a much greater degree than it already has. That said, I'm finding the daily/weekly challenges increasingly irritating. I didn't mind it when I was playing much more and easily fulfilling them all. But some days, I just want to get a few games in and it feels hard not to focus on rounding out the challenges, even as someone who doesn't particularly care about cosmetics. I had a game where I swear half the lobby had a "Kill X people with an SMG" challenge because the whole game revolved around the SMG spawn. It's really easy to get frustrated when you miss out on completing a challenge that can be somewhat map-specific (e.g. rocket launcher challenges). I know, I could try to care less about fulfilling these, but the game really tries to make them appealing with the constant casino-esque popups. I'd pay $40 to turn those and all cosmetics off permanently. Pengwin fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Sep 22, 2021 |
