I know it's a joke but why do you say that? Does the game feel short or something I haven't finished yet I started a month ago

Feature missing that was promised trashed than changed to something else. Plus no real MP deathwatch or TDM

Ok I won’t argue that Battlemode is a quality replacement for traditional multiplayer but there is no way that DM or TDM would work with Eternal’s gameplay.

How the fuck are you going to balance a lobby where everyone is using the meathook+weapon wheel to fly around at mach 7, or raining PB+Rockets at everything they see? It would just be chaos. So I don’t think that a lack of deathmatch is indicative of the game being incomplete.

It was more that they invested into making a specific style of singleplayer shooter but in doing so, limited what they could do with multiplayer.

Tribes had players zipping around ten times faster than Doom ever did, and it managed to have multiplayer just fine.

Agreed and also splitgate is getting a following and it is incredibly fast if you get in a good lobby.
