Sure thing, here’s how I’d ramble on about it:
—
Okay, so, hands down, forget about Call of Duty, Marathon, or even Battlefield 6. Splitgate 2 is where all my hype’s at. Like, seriously, ever since the first game, with its wild mash-up of Halo and Portal vibes, I’ve been hooked. But yeah, back then, it kinda fell short ’cause it didn’t have the guts – infrastructure, content, all that jazz – to keep rolling. But now? Splitgate 2 is strutting in to flip the script. They’re kicking off with an open beta that basically spills most of what you’ll see in the full release. Oh, and guess what? There’s no end date for this beta! Plus, hey, your beta progress tags along when version 1.0 drops. Sweet, right?
So I dabbled a bit in its last playtest and wow, they nailed it again! The magic’s still there, just upgraded with Unreal Engine 5. It’s like they gave it a fresh coat of paint or something. Movements? Slicker than ever. Visuals? Popping. The gunplay? Totally keeping those Halo feels alive. Portaling is still the jam here, and if you’re into pulling off complex moves – this is your playground. And boom, they’ve tossed in class-based abilities for that extra strategic punch.
Now, let’s be real, living in the service game arena ain’t no cakewalk. But 1047 Games isn’t waltzing in empty-handed. They’ve packed Splitgate 2 with truckloads of game modes and maps – and they’re flaunting most of it in this open beta. Whether you wanna dive into old-school arena shooters or go large-scale with 24-player Onslaught battles, you’re covered. The maps? Oh yeah, they’ve thrown in a bunch of new ones too. And weapons? Meet the Borealis, your new chargeable carbine buddy.
Here’s another fun bit – they’ve got a mini open beta battle pass happening before the full release. And here’s the kicker: you can roam around while hunting the game’s devs, sporting those crazy ‘flaming disco ball’ skins. Knock one out, and bam! Free skin for you to brag about later.
And, oh man, The Lab! That’s probably the highlight for me. Think of it like Halo Forge but on steroids. You can whip up your dream Splitgate maps or team up with 15 other buddies to co-create something epic.
The open beta? It’s in full swing. And it’s gonna roll on till the summer release – everything you do now sticks with you. Fire up your PC via Steam, Microsoft Store, or Epic Games Store, or hop on your Steam Deck, Xbox, or PlayStation.
