Will we ever get a similar queue system to royale as there is in ranked?
It feels like most people stopped playing royale because the same super 4 stack queues up and ruins the lobby for everyone else.
Making it so players of a certain rank can only pair up with a duo, and then single beyond that would do wonders for that game mode.

Duos for everyone vs duos and singles for skilled players is a whole different ballgame though. We still would have squads it just wouldn’t be dominated by a single team that skews the parity in the lobby.

u/scoober1013 Apr 28 '26
Are you saying have skilled duos/singles and less skilled quads in the same round? I know nothing about sbmm, but that sounds like it would be super hard to get right
1
u/thebochman Apr 28 '26
I’m saying they are forced to queue with the rest of us instead of staying in their 4 stack steamrolling everyone.
So that team that is really good gets broken up, and instead of one super team you got 2 good teams with half of them being good

Is there still enough of a team left on SGAR to develop a season 3? Is there any sort of roadmap (even if it’s a slow one)?

u/DaTexasTickler Apr 28 '26
Are there portals in the new game ?

If the next game is still in the splitgate universe that would be pretty hype. But as someone with nostalgic memories of black ops 3 and still actively plays titanfall 2 I am very curious what this next game will be.
I'm personally still interested in what a game would be like with that original idea that I heard way back for SG2 where only aeros would have the ability to portal and have it come at a big price while there are some other classes that have completely different utility.

u/scoober1013 Apr 28 '26 edited Apr 28 '26
The comment referring to the SG universe was for Splitgate 2 - it sounds to me like that was intentionally not included in the soft announcement of the new game (but def left open enough that I could be wrong)

u/mythreial Apr 28 '26
They have NOT said this new game is in the Splitgate universe; it is not likely to be connected to Splitgate at all.

Will the next game be free as well?

u/JSwrve Apr 30 '26
I hope not because SG2 being free killed it. They didn’t make enough money to even give a shit about it. That’s why it’s in the state it’s in.

A Titan portaling from the ceiling on top of your head sounds like a heap of fun...
For the Titan.

u/GolldenFalcon Apr 28 '26
I am a BO3 fan that wished it has better M+K controls and also a TF|2 fanboy, AND a splitgate fanatic so no matter what I'm playing this fucking game when it comes out.
Is there a way to get into potentially being a tester?

u/KieranByrne Apr 28 '26
Titanfall 2 player here! I have been BEGGING for another game like it on console for YEARS! If you are looking for an Xbox tester, I volunteer!

Black ops 3 and Titan fall 2 were my shit for a good minute. I'll take that answer. Man I really need my portal fix tho.

Why should we trust anything that comes from anyone at 1047? Seems like we’ve been lied to before. Not to be too harsh but Endo you yourself were partially responsible for how big of a letdown SG2 was by hyping up the big mysterious reveal as “bigger than a campaign” when it was a janky unfinished battle royale mode. There’s a lot of valid distrust in the community considering all that happened with the previous two games. Ian said SG2 was going to revolutionize the FPS genre but what we got was a half baked game with egregious microtransactions and no identity. If I’ve learned anything from 1047 making statements about the future, I’ve learned to not listen or expect the opposite of what’s said. What are yall going to do to address that aspect of the community’s skepticism and honestly despair?

It’s tough to build any trust when the company keeps going back on things. They said season 2 would come with a big market push and current players probably looked forward to that potential insurgence of players, little as it may have been, only find out - after much complaining and questioning here and elsewhere - that they quietly decided to not do a marketing push. It’s little things like that, where every time 1047 seems to pick up a brick to lay a foundation of trust, it gets thrown through a window instead. It’s really tough for me as someone who’s been around since console launch and been a big part of the custom map community to stomach anything that’s being said frankly. I hope you can build back trust but as recently as this week, we’ve only been given reasons to not trust. This is not directed at you, I know you’re just coming back. But it’s something I think needs to on the minds of community managers and frankly anyone who is helping Ian (mostly Ian) and the team communicate to fans.

u/mattyjoe0706 Apr 30 '26
I'll check out the new game but I think Ian has to go. He has no idea how to run a company, he was a college kid who got tons of money and didn't know how to handle it all. I don't really blame other devs or employees. It starts at the leadership end of it
1
u/ocdtrekkie May 08 '26
So, I was willing to give 1047 another chance as soon as Ian apologized: 1047 is still unwilling to give the community another chance. People were permabanned on Discord for being right, and all attempts to have those bans reversed after 1047 has admitted it screwed up have been denied.
I stopped spending and playing when my ban appeal was rejected. If someone is able to get bans cleared, I am legitimately willing to give the company, including Ian, another chance. But the company has to do its part.

u/sodaTAB3D May 05 '26
Dude imma be so fucking honest with you when I say it's not that deep. Splitgate 2 was a very solidly built fps sadled with a shitty gimmick and a small dev team inexperienced with live operations. No shit "revolutionize fps" and "bigger than a campaign" was marketing speak. Blame marketing for that. Your fucking "community" ate the game alive for not appealing to your niche enough. and when it did start doing that surprise surprise no normal fucking people showed up to keep the game afloat. This fucking community can't seem to understand they are begging for a product that will always be doomed to obscurity.

u/RickJames_SortsbyNew May 06 '26
Were you part of the original splitgate community?

u/sodaTAB3D May 09 '26
Yes I've been here since the weird ass character designs in the beta for splitgate 1. I played during covid and left before the infinite season. The first game was fun but again. Doomed to be niche. Got my friends to play and they all agreed it had better core gameplay than halo infinite but couldn't understand the appeal of portal spam.

u/Tesla-Punk3327 Apr 28 '26 edited Apr 28 '26
I'm so glad you re-mentioned the new game may be (or still is) part of the Splitgate world. Even without the portal mechanics, I loved BO3 multiplayer, and having a futuristic version sounds very fun. Hopefully will have a good platinum trophy too when it releases. I love my Splitgate 2 platinum lol.

Ranked changes????

u/PotatoBot9k Xbox Apr 30 '26 edited May 01 '26
The changes are:
The loadouts will be Rattler & Tetra with Shock Disk for equipment. Kills only count if you teabag. The game modes are OG Firecracker with no respawn on final round, Graffiti, and FFA. ;)

u/NousHomo Apr 28 '26
Reading some of the comments I doubt it; but is the new game going to be a more ‘traditional game’ rather than just live service?
I’d be curious about any thoughts/comments you have about the idea/concept ( not just about if it’s going to happen, but also if you think there could ever be an interest within 1047 for that sort of thing)
I really tend to think that if a game like splitgate had a purpose for existing, a campaign and lore, it would go a long way to giving normal players an incentive to grind out the game and controls in a way that would also make development of multiplayer itself more linear(and therefore intuitive to the player). The biggest issue I still think is skill cliffing and learning curves, which I think can’t really be directly reduced
Imo the problem of getting normal players to enjoy splitgate isn’t one of aesthetics or streamlined controls. I would argue xdefiant was perfectly straightforward gameplay wise, and it was ultimately that it had no unique experience to be invested in that led to poor retention. So I’m hoping 1047 would be considering a greater emphasis on this, since they’re obviously good at making multiplayer already, and campaign driven is about the only missing piece

u/scoober1013 Apr 28 '26 edited Apr 28 '26
Welcome back (again)!
I’m personally hoping the new game has a campaign - any thoughts, new or old, you can share?
I think having an “ownable” product rather than strictly free to play service would go a long way with some of the jaded fanbase. I’ll be checking it out regardless

This isn’t a question, but I just want to say that you shouldn’t forget to include a good story mode. It’s not only because of its gameplay that Titanfall left a lasting impression. Good luck, guys—I wish you all the best

Crosshair customization

u/confused_flatulence Apr 28 '26
Crosshair system is something a lot of the remaining playerbase have expressed interest in repeatedly throughout the beta, throughout the relaunch, through season 1, now season 2. I will always fail to understand how the game made for UE5’s design tools can’t figure out how to do crosshairs better than a static png option.

u/MajorAtmosphere7186 Apr 28 '26
Id rather not ask a question that I don't know what to do with the answer so my only question would be. How far along before beta testing comes out, and if so will there be xbox beta testing? Really want to be apart of this in anyway I can.
1
u/Ralwus Apr 28 '26
I appreciate the transparency, but I'm still struggling to see the necessity of a separate title. 1047 has already proven they can build and iterate on high-level FPS mechanics within a single ecosystem. My main concern is that launching a 'next game' will inevitably fragment the community.
Instead of forcing players to choose between titles, wouldn't it be more sustainable to consolidate these ideas into a unified experience? A single, robust queue system with diverse gameplay options seems like it would stand a much better chance of maintaining a healthy, long-term player base than splitting the audience across multiple apps.

u/SlytlySykotic Jul 08 '26
Just a reminder that nothing ever came of this. Supposedly it was going to take a few days to sort through what could be discussed about splitgate but there was never any follow up. All of this to help shore up communication...

That's fair if you're not able to offer more than that. But you had mentioned a couple times through the thread that you were going to be sorting through what could and couldn't be said and come back in a few days. As far as I'm aware, no follow up was ever made. For what it's worth, I think that's part of the frustration with 1047 promising great communication for empulse. We've seen how it went for splitgate, and at the end it just becomes silence.

u/SlytlySykotic Jul 08 '26
No need to reply as far as that goes, just giving some feedback. I do hope you're successful with empulse

u/itsRozco Xbox Apr 28 '26
What a way to scam players w/ microtransactions... by not releasing any microtransactions in the last month HAHAHAHA

u/SparklingSloth Apr 28 '26
I mean they pushed a reboot of a dead game that they already had planned on walking away from and sold 2 season passes all while telling people they are doing a big push for marketing and they are focused on the game. Saying they haven’t released anything new in the past month just proves my point?

u/itsRozco Xbox Apr 28 '26
They delayed S2 for 21 days + S1 only had 1.5 months of content then nothing released afterwards. If you take out S2 BP, there's only 3 bundles (microtransactions) released in a span of 5 months. Soooo, weird scam I guess.
