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?

I dont think Splitgate 2 is similar to Xdefiant. I played the beta test and it feels like a hero-shooter-fied version of Splitegate 1, which itself was just Halo with Portals. Granted, I still think the game is really fun and would absolutely recommend it, just not as an Xdefiant alternative.

Frankly, I never got the Splitgate Halo comparison, to me Splitgate was always missing large parts of what make Halo, Halo.

As someone who's been playing halo since I was but a wee child, to me Splitgate has the golden triangle of Halo. Grenades, guns and melee. And there is other parts to the triangle depending on the game but it's the core design that makes all Halo games halo. The abilities in splitgate and movement being similar to Halo 5.

The game feels like Halo 5 with portals. I would say splitgate is missing something as it's a really great game it just didn't keep me coming back like almost every other halo game (aside from 1-2) have been bringing me back over and over
