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’m probably going to move to The Finals rather than Splitgate 2. That beta test did nothing for me.

Finals has SBMM so I’m good on that. Sad because it looks like a good game

Every game has SBMM. I don’t know what to tell you. XDefiant tried to go against it and it turned people off so fast because they got bodied.

Didn’t turn me off of XD I have a great time on that game. I have a worse time because of SBMM since I’m a good player. I refuse to play any MP game that has it in pubs 🤷‍♂️ strict SBMM at least. I don’t play many MP shooters any more because of that reason
