Splitgate 2 is AMAZING but has 1 HUGE Problem 

nerfing the portals would be dogshit

sometimes, you just have to admit that not every game is an e-sport. if there's something in the game that makes it unwatchable, then you shouldn't prioritize watching

It’s a difficult balance. Try to please everyone and you might just end up with a mediocre experience that isn’t fun for anyone. Nerfing portals has serious potential to end up backfiring. It’s the one special thing that Splitgate has going for it.

The portals are already nerfed with the lack of portal walls around the map. Nerfing the portals in a game that was built around the mechanic of using portals is the dumbest thing I've heard, im sorry. Let players who are good with the mechanic stomp. They earned it, they got good at it. You nerf the portals any further than they already have been, this just turns into xdefiant with less guns and a jetpack. If its not a good viewing experience then maybe they shouldnt have gone all in on esports and shouldve focused on a fun experience that lets players go crazy with the sandbox. So sick of this esports obsession and the need to nerf everything into the ground.

if I see Twitter in the thumnail, I already know what is going on

the video on twitter is just a guy sweating in a lobby with all bots, it doesnt necessarily show how high level competitive play will look like and if you look at any video of high level competitive splitgate 1 gameplay, i have yet to see someone just spamming portals like this and also, skill based matchmaking will most likely exist as its pretty much the standard and this kind of game will need it, so its not like you will encounter players doing this in your games as an average player a lot of it is just nonsensical twitter complaining from people that dont take 2 seconds to actually think about it a cooldown on placing portals, even a second or two, will make the mechanic basically useless, it will make it feel clunky, and it will completely eliminate the possibility for fun portal plays

I just watched two ads on your video before it even started - the algorithm likes you.

They need to add more portals and vertical portals the reason to make a sequel is to retain an older audience but now that it feels like a triple a version of splitgate with less portals I dont think this will last very long.

This games community is so split, the hardcores from split 1 are saying it's too much like cod, and the newbies are saying triple portaling is too hard to do. Whereas if you actually think about it from a design perspective it's in a really good spot compared to split 1. You can defend yourself against triple portaling quite well with your abilities, and there are less portal walls all over the map so it becomes predictable where they're gonna go but just enough to have triple portaling in the game.

I really really hope they lean more into the casual experience with fun game modes, maps, all that stuff over esports. This is a game that feels a lot better playing over watching.

Since there's no mire grenades to cancel portals, a very small cooldown, like a second of two, could make the game a tad better, maybe. We need to see if the portal spam becomes a lroblem at some point. But it wasnt an issue in SG 1

I have 2 ways they could Nerf the portal's. They could add a half second to second long cool down to prevent the constant changing of portals or they could add a type of portal sickness if you go through too many portals to quickly.

People suck ass, since when did people get so shit at trying to learn a video game, I remember my first time playing titanfall 2 and actually wanting to get better at it for how cool I thought all these- as they would call it: “bullshit” mechanics were

6:40 id love to see new characters added into the existing factions

Consider announcing a livestream on RU-vid - those tend to be fairly profitable, because users are keen to pay for superchats in order to have you answer their questions live on stream.

12:10 u will experience this when i am in your lobbies :)) i am very good at portaling but i don't have the muscle memory of the pro players + my aim sucks in every FPS i played in my life if portals get nerfed I will suck at this game because its my point of power I would like if they keep the OG splitgate running

Add cd between portals, this is how quake died a lobby of old people gate keeping and ruining it for others. Change mechanics

If we catter to Twitter keyboard warriors, then might as well become concord

just delete 2/3s of the portal walls of each map

tank classes scout rifle should be a 4 round burst and the alt should be the time bubble.. have the tech wall and or healing cloud.. give the smoke grenade to recon.. also for recon replace the shotgun with an SMG and replace the time bubble and healing cloud with that smoke or a throwing knife that pings targets within 20 meters of knife and pings 2 more times on successful knife headshot kill rush shouldn't give you extra health just damage resistance infact if any class should have that bonus health its the tank class (rush just lets you tank shit)

I love how everyone who is saying this game isn’t fun or it doesn’t look fun to play are the people who have never played it or even the original. And everyone who has played says it’s awesome 😂 like it’s a free game just download it and play it yourself when it comes out before trashing it. And in my opinion the only reason I can’t really tell where people are going when they are triple portaling is because I don’t know the maps not because of triple portling itself and it was the same in the original and I loved watching tournaments. And btw I never got higher than gold and was trash at using the portals

i was hyped but when i played i was so bored

make recon more recon focued and make the tank class more support based

Anyone who says they need to nerf portals amazes me cuz that clip of the pro wasnt even that fast and if he was actually against another pro he wouldn't be able to do the same thing

I think portaling needs a heat up cooldown mechanic. Where you can still triple portal to the other side of the map and maybe back but it should overheat there pretty much. For another 5-10 seconds where the portal thing cools down. I'm new to splitgate so I have been chaining Slide jumps which makes me go really fast (idk if that is intended lol) so there is a lot of movement you could still do without portals

This is alpha and somehow there is already a couple toxic people who are discouraging new players. Calling them Newgens etc.

bro do not nerf portals it would ruin the game

i think portals should only let you go in and go back through it once and add sound effects for enemy portals

i wouldnt mind them adding new characters, but instead of them being new classes, its just new characters that fall into each class. so they would have the same weapons and passive, but they would have a unique ability.

Hopefully ur using the feature that youtube has for not notifying subscribers on videos so it wont affect your channel

Yeah, everything you telling me it’s bad and don’t play the game so far I can name numerous problems

2 minutes in "it was niche because it was more like quake and unreal tournament" bruh that's the only reason I played it, if they wanna pander to console babies so be it, but it won't survive

Looks very exciting! I thought they were gonna nerf portals but obviously not enough 😂 at least for some players. can't wait for it to be on console! Maybe a cool down or limit to portals like that other comment said

13:09 hes a halo player, he has no information of splitgate 2

"If the game is hard to watch, no one will watch it" and ? Just dont watch it and play the game

Disagree on the feel like splitgate. Ttk feels so much lower, feels like im playing xdefiant. We didn't need classes. Portals had that much potential that that was all you needed for a good skill ceiling, reinforced by the idea everyones the same. Now people can win engagements because they picked the class that can heal on demand, or the one with the wall ect ect. It may be alright now, but it can turn very quickly into a gregorian knot of balancing where there will always be a worse gun that needs buffing and a meta defining weapon that needs nerfing

it was viral until splitgate 2 was announced

can u triple portal? in SG2 can u close ur portals? does the game has snipers?

Maybe make videos about Wukong? Would be better for the channel I think.

So, for rhe ChenZo clip. Firstly, there is like 5 people in the world who can play like this, you would never get in their lobbies and if you do its just for one game and then you will never see him again or you take the game seriouslly and you just got to learn how to portal. Secondly, the was just trying to go as fast as possible and going for clips. This is very inefective in a pro player match, nobody plays like that. (Especially controller players who are playing on the lowest sens I have ever see to abuse AA) So no need to worry about veiwing experience and nerf portals. Just have fun playing Splitgate 2 alpha

It looks like the portal is on a single key now? that should make it easier to triple portal.

am i insane because in splitgate 1 i used portals way more than this, I never saw splitgate 1 gameplay on youtube but everyone playing splitgate 2 seems to just be playing it like a normal game instead of constantly exploting the portals and making one literally every second

5 sec cooldown would be good I still think that portaling should be the main skill of the game maybe there shouldn't be instant triple portling so there can be breathing room or make portals wider pixel walking will be easier and more people can do that crazy stuff

i hate this title, cause i see a variation everywhere

Well your gameplay is good quality so I’d watch you play it lol

I hope they move away from the round based play. Team Deathmatch doesn't need rounds.

10:53 Wait I'm in the video lol

Might as well double down on streaming since you have time... Its a grind like, 12-14 hours a day... But if you catch traction... You could make money from donations and growing your channel. Could double down on learning how successful channels review and talk about games etc and make youtube videos

Nah this is just a huge skill issue

was only viral because it was halo like and halo died ages ago, and its still following the same steps halo did, sprint/speed boosts and slides, that made the flow of the game feel worse, and of course still has portals so game modes like CTF and oddball a lot less strategic and a lot more just portal across the map.

I think SG2 should have Light medium heavy classes like the finals its easier to balance

Let me guess, people are going to go into hating it because it’s a bloated genre

Whats your specs? I get 0 fps in splitgate 2

based on the clip, I think there should be a cooldown on placing new portals

triple portaling isnt hard holy frick ur just pressing buttons

yippee!
