New Multiplayer FPS Split Gate 2 They face negative reactions among player bases of expensive microtransactions introduced in full launches. The fast-paced arena shooter, which uses the portal to allow for quick traversal around the map, was released in beta at the Summer Game Fest Showcase, but took advantage of the stage appearance of Iampur Lux, co-founder of 1047 games, and encountered criticism over the new battle royale mode and expensive cosmetics.
Soon before, I really like Splitgate 2. I love the first game and the time so far in the sequels has been pretty much great. It’s faster than FPS games like Halo and with more dynamic movement options than Call of Duty, and it can hit the balance I really enjoy. The introduction of Battle Royale mode is not suitable for me, but that’s fine. Expand your potential audience. However, the release proved to be the first sticking point that leads to a feeling of overwhelmed by the news, when 1,047 people teased players and “thinking bigger” ahead of the announcement that the upcoming feature is “not a campaign.”
In addition to this, Proulx’s SGF presentation faced criticism of the decision to wear a “fps great again” hat. He may later insisted on social media that “take it at face value because it’s not a political statement, but rather it’s what it’s saying,” but rather the choice of a deaf hat with tones was brought to the top of Splitgate’s reddit.
However, in more long-term concerns, players quickly expressed their frustration at the game’s new microtransactions. This peaks with 8,000 split coins (45% off the initial price of 14,550) “Nano Swarm Bundle” which is listed as “45% off” from the initial price of 14,550. In the context, the 11,500 split coin bundle costs $99.99/£79.99, and the discounted bundle price is about $70.
“I threw a shade on stage at Call of Duty, but I copied the Wausone mechanic for the Battle Royale and dropped a $80 (sic) bundle on Split Gate 2,” one user writes to X. Another response adds, “Moneyization is always debatable, but it’s also an option.”
It’s not all fate and darkness. Several posts on Subreddit have expressed that they are enjoying the new mode. As mentioned earlier, I wouldn’t spend much time on it, but I certainly would like to go back to other options. However, the game’s Steam Review score is currently at a “mixed” 66% rating, and public messaging feels it needs to consider the approach 1047 to move forward. I hope it gets there. The game is very fun.
