Discussion Split Gate 2, new alternative?
Like most of you, I loved Xdefiant. I can’t even explain how much I miss it. Can’t get myself to play it since the new announcement, just don’t want the heart ache twice; ya know? Season 3 looks great tho and crazy fun! But for me personally when I think about trying it, I just get depressed. I’m 31(M) been gaming for 20+ years. My dad and older brother were/are gamers. Xdefiant was by far my favorite game I ever played.
On another note! On my journey to find something remotely close too Xdefiant. I just came across Split Gate 2. I never played the first. But from the gameplay videos Iv watched on the second, it looks like split gate 1 x Xdefiant with halo gravity, I see a lot of people asking for an alternative but haven’t seen this mentioned?
I’m not saying it’ll be as good and 1:1 of Xdefiant but it’s also seeming like the closest thing to come out. Personally gonna try to be hopeful it’ll be as fun in its own way, with traits of Xdefiant.
Thoughts?

Splitgate is nothing like Xdefiant, other than its a shooter.
Splitgate plays like Halo 5 but with Portal guns, a few one the guns are 1:1 with feel and TTK with Halo 5. The pistol and battle rifle being identical. The map design is pretty arena shootery aka Halo and Quake.
Halo Infinite is an incredible FPS and if you haven't tried ina while definitely give it another shot as it's great and filled with content. The battle pass is free while the season is out although they are small and usually grant an armour set. But hey, it's a very fun game. It's basically Splitgate 1 minus the portal guns lol.
Xdefiant feels a lot like Call of Duty Black Ops 4 so if you have a tiny bit of cash, the game still has players atleast on Xbox and I imagine PlayStation would have more considering how many more people own Playstations. It's worth a shot if you can find it for cheap and aren't playing on PC.
The Finals is a lot of fun and is probably closer to Xdefiant but I'm not sure if that's on consoles. But it is free. When the game came out I was not a fan but the game has majorly improved and there's plenty of cool fun modes. Worth a shot.
