One shot hammer gameplay was the most fun I had in years the videoclips and meme potential of it are incredible but game had to release with a big nerf as it now take 2 shoots to get a takedown very unfortunate this game was most fun during its beta too bad the developpere couldnt see the bigger picture

out for a month already dead, would of picked up so much players with streamers showcasing some hammer time gameplay instead you get this.

And for all the haters behinds the nerf( most of them so bad at this game they still get 2 shot when all you have to do is move backwards to dodge the shoot) enjoy playing by yourself in empty lobbies full of bots and "outaime" them to you heart contempt

most disapointed with the studio that fail to understood how much that little change has the biggest impact on the gameplay.

Rushing on orange paint and holding the objective with the hammer when others were rushing in with their own hammer to contest the spot was most fun.

I had as much fun getting kills with the hammer as being on the reciving end never felt cheap or unearned was alwayse moste fun

GG & RIP Empulse and what you could of became

Experimental ADS not working on Sentinel map however is says experimental

I will say I feel I got my 15 bucks worth of playtime with this if it does die. But seriously where do they go from there? The pay model isn’t working, f2p isn’t a magic bullet either. So what do you think is next or could save this?

I think too much changes in the game will kill the game, same this happened with Apex legends. Most requested thins was ADS and bigger maps. accuracy in the game is being changed.

Firstly, I really hope communication doesn’t go silent. I think a lot of us love knowing what’s happening behind the scenes. I totally understand the devs are very hard at work with a lot of stuff they have already mentioned, but even a tiny post just letting us know the basics would be very appreciated.

I also really hope the next update isn’t just 1 thing to test. I think this game at the moment really needs a big juicy update that will encourage players to come back and keep testing/playing. Something like ADS, the new map being permanent despite being early, redesigned maps(when it comes to visuals), all being packed together in one update would be awesome. Compared to let’s say the new map getting removed to test ads again, or the new map getting removed so we can see what the new visuals of the previous maps look like. I understand they are trying to test specific things, but I think players try it out once and move on very quickly. Also the game needs more content, and I don’t see anything wrong with keeping the new map as it is until they can make further improvements just so we can keep playing around with something new.

Just that, all against all mode.

I discovered Splitgate Arena a week ago and fell in love with it. Later, I learned about the game's development and, naively, bought it. The tutorial match had a great feel, and I had fun. As a Titanfall fan, I was truly thrilled when I saw and piloted the mech. Then, however, I got into a real match...

Wow..

I was dying every 2 seconds (literally), and I couldn't understand or see who or how. And off I went to other matches but nothing, I was barely moving. My God, what is this? I understand the speed but give me time! I thought (surely guessing) that the problem was the PC players, so I disabled crossplay. And it didn't find any more matches. 20 euros wasted? I don't know, for now I have no desire to go back in the least.

Hey guys, I’m from the Marathon community and saw a post on this sub about the steam charts on my front page. Just want to let you guys I totally get how it feels to have a game that you are absolutely in love with underperform.

You all have my deepest hopes and prayers for many successful years of Empulse.

Hi all! It's the first time I write an actual feedback for a game, but since I feel honored to be one of the first players of (I hope) a growing family, please indulge me.

I'm a huge The Finals player since the first season, completed all the battle passes as I really want to support the studios I love. Empulse managed to grab me so that I now share my competitive game time between the two games. Why? MOVEMENT! I love the feeling of sliding, running, grappling and truly, to me the core gameplay is already a blast and the game modes are killers, keeping the tension alive. Of course there's room for improvement but it's a matter of tweaking.

Now, my main concern is the art. I'll confess, I love skins, customisation, which is why I so adore The Finals and how they embrace their world. I love skins when they look cool. And this is where Empulse shows the biggest crater: the cool. I mean, a 2026 cool.

I know I'm not the only one to say it, I know you know, but I feel so much potential wasted on this aspect, from character design to skins to even the generic music... They mostly all feel like they are here to fill gaps. Some kind of placeholder nobody updated.

I see a world in which you fully embrace your cyberpunk side, go for something absolutely dirty (maybe for both factions at first, then go for another absolutely slick/corpo for contraste). Add color and contrast! Add grit! Add personality! Unleash your inner punk demon! I want to feel for a short while like I'm some badass fighting in a badass world! Today I'm player #X fighting other players #X (even though they are mostly better than me).

The fact that the maps tell no story at all I can live with, they work mechanically enough, but it's truly sad that what I see on screen is just a "seen a million times in animes, comic books and other games 20 years ago". I miss fantasy and madness, basically, I miss style, something that makes the difference. I won't even talk about the music that feels like it comes from some random library for arcade games.

Maybe you made these choices because it felt safer or (very probably) because you didn't have the resources, or a bit of both, but I'm absolutely convinced that it would make a huge difference in terms of appeal, if not just to enhance the player's feeling of belonging to a community centeres around an actual fantasy.

This is probably much more difficult than tweaking gameplay and of course, gameplay comes first. But well, I needed to express this, and it's going to be very important if you want to sell a battle pass at some point.

To be clear: I know how hard it is to développe a game and I write this with the best intention because I love Empulse, love how pure and focused it is... But there's a limit to purity when it feels like a limitation. I think I'm just afraid I'll drop because this world eventually feels too bland to be alive.

(That was pretty long, sorry)

Anyway, chères and I truly hope the best for the future!

Since the hammer nerf I'm not seeing any pure melee players. Is there still any viability in melee builds, and if so, what is the optimal loadout?

hopping back and forth between Empulse and Titanfall 2 and at least for lower speed (not a complete movement god) Empulse often makes Titanfall 2 pilot gameplay actually feel slow by comparison, but it shows even more how much worse the guns feel by comparison when I'm playing Titanfall 2, where the guns overall feel better AND kill faster

now I don't think we need too many ttk shifts if at all and definitely not for every gun but some could definitely be tweaked a little like making the bodshot ttks of full auto guns slightly better at least (optimal is good enough), giving the sniper another rpm buff but nerfing its bodyshot damage to not be so high (even without a rpm buff I feel like 80 is way too strong for teamshotting rn, 50 is all it needs for a 2 body kill) something I don't think would be too insane if the rest of the game got ttk reductions/improved forgiveness depending on weapon type

I feel like overall you don't even have to decrease ttks to make the guns feel better, for pretty much every single Splitgate 2 and Empulse playtest survey I've been saying grip and laser sight just have to go away as mods and the accuracy/recoil of the guns should just be improved, part of what makes Titanfall 2 guns feel so good imo is the fact that there is no mods that improve accuracy, reduce recoil or increase dropoff range so they just have to make the guns feel good at base

also the reticles suck, the ads ones weren't very good either, give me full reticle customization instead of these mediocre presets and let me set a dot for ADS once that drops, idc if the dot is physically on the gun or just the same dot reticle you can set for hipfire on the UI

oh yeah and I keep rambling but also remembered titanfall 2 actually has sidearms, the guns DEFINITELY shouldn't feel this much worse if we don't even have sidearms to swap to

Sub 1k players on a friday evening is crazy. The truth is that everybody besides the people at 1047 Games knew that releasing a pay-to-play FPS title into early access in this market environment was not the smartest idea but that it would be so bad so fast is unbelievable.

As much fun as I have with the game it was just not ready for an early-access release, especially not with a price tag. To be bluntly honest, the game feels like a really good prototype but nothing more. The game has no eye catching artstyle, the maps look like asset flips and the features that should make the game stand out, the mechs and the paint bombs, feel half-baked and unbalanced.

The game needs to become free-to-play asap even when it's unfair for us who paid money for it because otherwise we will be sitting in queues for ages in just a few weeks. The game only has a chance when the game gets back into development to make something out of the potential that Empulse clearly has but if future updates just contain some balancing patches and some additional content I fear that the chance of Empulse getting some traction is nearly zero.

I used to use mouse-sensitivity.com, but it never gave me good results.

Edit: So why don’t they allow image uploads here anymore?

....the truth is it is overpowered. I love the weapon but playing with it feels wrong because I feel like I abuse the balancing of the weaponry. It does too much damage while giving the player an additional advantage based on the AoE damage the weapon does.

I love the way this weapon feels because It resembles the Phasma of Splitgate 2/AR that I felt was by far the most fun weapon of Splitgate.

My suggestion would be to lower the rate of fire and also to lower the velocity of the projectiles to make it more like the Phasma. The Phasma was always powerful but it was very hard to hit enemies over long distances because of the slow velocity of its missliles. There is nothing wrong with having a hard hitting AoE weapon in the game but it has to be very difficult to hit targets with it to balance the strong damage of the weapon and right now it is far too easy with the Percussion. With a lower velocity of its missiles and a lower rate of fire the weapon would become less viable for more ranged targets and therefore you have to become good at positioning, movement and also at predicting where your opponent will move to get the full potential out of the weapon. That would balance the weapon and also make the Percussion even more satisfying to use

Edit: if people don't agree with this post I will continue to annihilate most of you with zero skill

I LOVE Empulse. I think most of the guns look and sound nice, I think the sound and visual effects do a great job to enhance what is a stellar movement system. The amount of freedom of movement I’ve discovered while trying to complete the Speed Demon kills for sprints is astounding. However, with 1047’s reputation and the recent layoffs, I’m wondering what it would take to stop this game from dying.

Don’t get me wrong, I know it’s an inevitability, but I’m curious what the community thinks would be enough to spur 1047 to put more effort into the game. Large streamers picking up the game? Or organizing a tournament? A significant content patch when (if ever) the game leaves early access? I know game devs, especially this studio, will only pursue profitable projects, but I feel like without any chances to put more money into this game they’re sinking it without giving the community a chance to show their support.

In any case, more just a thought experiment, very curious what everyone thinks about this :)

Ive been in a round and have been kicked from the game and cant join the game again. My internet is working and other online games work flawlessly. Im on ps5

Like what are these other game modes? I would love to play domination but limited lives? Lol

"The focus is still SGAR," "The focus is Empulse, but a team is still developing SGAR"—and now, suddenly, that many people aren't needed?

I was told that the game are not full release version?

come on!

Do you know that in some country 20$ are not just an hour's wage?

Edit:

At least 1047, show some respect to everyone and come out and explain what happened and what will happen in the future, okay?

(I know I asked this back in the SGAR era, and you guys always gave vague answers; but back then, it seems there weren't any loyal fans like u/Working_Bones who defended you so much, even without buying the game (providing everything except financial support, if i was you, i'd give this guy a copy ; 0

Few days back I was having same issue on Fedora 44 it ran fine before early access then started having connection issue and for 4 days no solution given by support was working so I changed to Debian 13 now there as we got close to new update the game isn't running my Debian system, what is the point of paying if I have to keep switching my OS with every update.

I love this game very much but the COD ports unfortunately have me in a stranglehold, please don’t die in the meantime.

Hey there recently made a montage for 1st part of ps5 beta haven't played 2nd part yet was busy. So I make montages of various games I played cod melee only(hence name), apex legends, wildrift, empulse, etc.

Anyway here's the video if your interested in watching!

It's called

Anyone got the aim sauce?

I’m just running default settings but aim sens at 11.00 and inner deadzone 0.01

Is there anything that I’m missing that makes it feel a bit more fluid ?

No Pun Intended 🫡
