“One day, I played Splitgate. The next day, I never touched the game again for some reason. They were a good 3.7 hours tho, would definitely try playing it again.”

“This game was incredible. If they allowed P2P, it still would be. That new garbage they dumped on us will never hold a candle to the first one. I miss this game.”
“Fantastic game, but unfortunately I can't recommend it due to its server shutdown a while back. And it's honestly a shame it's now considered a dead game because this was one of the best FPS games out there, and that I…”
“Easily some of the most fun I've ever had with an FPS. Such a shame its only player hosted servers now since 1047 is pushing in favor of the new (way less fun) splitgate arena.”

“I miss this game so badly. Every time I play the new one, I wish I could just matchmake on here. Why can't we do P2P servers with matchmaking? This game had class, charm, and it feels like the new one just lost it's identity. RIP splitgate, you were a real one.”
