Put the stupid politics aside and play the game.
SG2 is an amazingly fun, fast-paced, and cerebral shooter! Fluid as hell with amazing movement to match. I love the skill gap it presents, as thinking with portals truly levels up your game. I'm hooked on coming up with ways to use portals for style plays. Fair warning - though this is an FPS, the portals are going to frustrate a lot of people if they don't embrace them and try to utilize them to their advantage. In the long run, you won't get by too well without them IMO, but trust me, use them! It is a ton of fun and it feels so freaking good to pull off crazy stuff after you get used to it.
If you are familiar with Takedown, the Battle Royal mode is just a larger scale version of it really. I am not that big a fan of BRs, didn't ask for a BR, didn't expect a BR, but boy what they have here is different in great ways. I understand that people hear the buzzword and get a bad taste in their mouths, but with the respawn timers, you don't suffer the problem all other BRs face: sitting there spectating for almost the entire time. Instead, you are down for a few seconds and have the opportunity to respawn if your team has any living members out of immediate combat. This makes gameplay feel more action packed too, since people are likely willing to play more aggressively knowing they can come back if things don't go well but somebody is able to get out safe.
1047 is the first developer I have seen be so open and responsive to community feedback. These guys are trying to do right by the community, and I believe that. There is a lot of good faith just in the past couple days since release. The community was outraged at the microtransaction prices, and 1047 cut them in half already, not even 2 days later. People are begging for ranked, and they have confirmed it will arrive in 2-4 weeks from now. I have NEVER, EVER seen a company listen and act so fast. So give 1047 a break and see the awesomeness they are cooking up. These guys are industry disruptors, and the FPS scene needs a shake up, so let these guys try stuff and see what sticks. LET THEM COOK :D
I highly recommend anybody who was a Halo 5 Breakout enjoyer to play this game. This game is everything I have wanted in a PvP shooter for literally 10 years. 1047, you guys are onto something here that I think changes the way we think in an FPS.

Splitgate 1 was a fun and unique arena shooter, blending classic gameplay with portal mechanics — but Splitgate 2 takes everything further, sharper, and deeper. It’s not just an upgrade. It’s a full evolution. Here’s why Splitgate 2 completely outshines its predecessor:
Gameplay: Faster, Smarter, More Tactical
Splitgate 2 delivers smoother movement, tighter gunplay, and a much more tactical use of portals. Everything feels more connected — from the way you fight to how you outsmart enemies. It’s cleaner, faster, and just more fun.
Sliding & Movement: A Total Game-Changer
Sliding adds a whole new dimension to combat. It lets you reposition fast, pull off sneaky flanks, or escape in style. Combined with portal momentum, the movement system now has real flow — no more stiff footwork like in the first game.
Map Editor: Real Creative Power
The new Map Editor is insanely powerful. You’re not just placing blocks — you’re designing entire environments, complete with decals, fake lighting, and custom geometry. It’s like a level design toolset inside the game. Perfect for players who love to build or experiment.
Weapons & Loadouts: More Variety, More Control
Weapons feel better, more balanced, and impactful. The addition of loadouts gives you the chance to tailor your playstyle from the start of each match — whether you prefer long-range precision or chaotic close-quarters action.
Final Verdict:
Splitgate 2 isn’t just "Splitgate but new" — it’s Splitgate done right. With smarter mechanics, deeper customization, and true creative freedom, it sets a new bar for arena shooters. If you liked Splitgate 1, you’ll love Splitgate 2 — and there’s no going back.

For a beta game is extremely buggy. Bugs that completely make the game unplayable , unable to find matches. Meanwhile the devs are sending special builds to streamers to downplay the reality of the game. Some are saying there's a kernel level back door as well and would not be surprised based on some of the game's behavior im seeing such as hanging when closing the game and instant crashes when opening the game up. It seems like this team didn't learn much from splitgate 1 except how to do better marketing as a rugpull game.
Update: if you have 13gen or 14 gen i9 you may want to steer clear of this game, definitely don't purchase anything for it as the game still has oodle shader crashes from its alpha.
Update as of may 31 2025: The game is playable. Much of the things like XP not tracking , challenges not tracking, are all working now. I've personally had a good experience with the support team in making sure twitch drops carried over. Their Code system is much more reliable than what most games do with twich drops and trying to automate the receipt of the items in game. sending a code is much better and secure. There are still some issue with some of the alpha dev killer skins not carrying over to the beta and they have not had many play against the dev events. There's also still oodle errors sometimes and the game crashing on launch.
There's still some scummy practices in terms of their revenue stream that look like they are here to stay. They have mythic weapons similar to Apex. These are blueprints (JUST THE BLUEPRINT no player skin), and they cost about 20 dollars. once you buy the blue print you have to spend in game, Tier 2 currency (proelium) to BUY additional features to the blueprint you purchased for 20 bucks. these blueprints DO NOT come with tracers , death effects and their reactive animations the way COD , Valorant , or Apex blueprints come ON PURCHASE. The ONLY way to currently generate proelium is to CONVERT purchased or battle pass earned split coin into proelium. The devs say there will be a way to earn it in game. it could be a direct method, another conversion or it is already in the game as the battle pass split coin to proelium conversion. The bottom line is if they are allowing you to BUY split coin to convert proelium then the direct grind of proelium will likely be unreasonable for anyone that is over the age of 25 with a full time job. The whole Mythic weapon blueprint is by far the most scummy thing i've seen about this game, and it should seriously make some people pause and think about if they even want to support a dev team that is going to do this, because as more people play the game this tells them that people are ok with the business model.
That being said the game play itself is very smooth especially for mnk. If you are playing stuff like warzone/COD on mnk i would highly recommend you ditch that game for this one. The gun play is just as engaging as COD, Destiny, Halo etc. again if you currently play COD and you try to go back to it after splitgate you will notice the UNGODLY amount they actually cripple mouse and key aiming by severely hampering lateral movement / strafing in COD. The momentum mechanic in Splitgate is actually fun and it makes it fun to portal around build momentum and then slide around corners like its CS Surf... but you can shoot people. The skill expression is Very high in this game again especially if you're coming from games like BF2042/Warzone. you can launch yourself and gun people down mid air, drop portals so you pop out of the ground or fall from the ceiling onto players.
As far as cheaters go. I've ran into questionable players that push me without a radar scan or me being on the minimap, but I've yet to see a rage hacker just aimbotting everyone. There's also no kill cams so if there are some rage hackers, you won't know. I am skeptical their kernel level anticheat ( redkard?) is effective, and I think it contributes more to game crashes on startup than actually catching cheaters, but the game doesn't feel like EVERYONE is cheating like over on warzone because of either Aim Assist or literally a lack of any attempt at injection detecting anticheat.
Bottom line: as of May 31st I would say definitely try the game out. if you're a MnK player this is probably the best FPS game you're going to get for a long time now that Xdefiant is being shut down. I think with a serious migration of players in general and specifically mouse and keyboard players you will see the AAA studios actually make an honest effort in trying to balance the inputs or finally nerfing Aim assist in some games like COD where they are literally training wheel level help.
