Why so serious

Now, I never played quite as much as ourBrendy didof the originalSplitgate.

But I had a fun time with its mixture of Halo-esque trigger pulling and portalling around!

Well, I think it’s… a bit serious?

Shooting some enemies with an assault rifle in Splitgate 2’s alpha test.

And that’s the thing: Splitgate 2 seemed more serious.

Then again, at least guns had some serious punch and some delightful flavour.

The wind-up of the shotguns and the twirliness of the reload animations?

Using a new dual-wield pistol and SMG combo on an unsuspecting enemy in Splitgate 2.

There’s also a bunch of new factions, each with their own abilities.

For instance, the Aeros faction had an ability that sped you up a bit for a short duration.

Besides my misgivings, I think Splitgate 2 is shaping up okay.

None of this serious esportsy, fast-twitch muscle fibre stuff.
