Oh baby how I have missed you

After what seems like an eternity, I am finally back into some Splitgate. I didn't take 2 weeks off from the game because I wanted to, in fact, it was quite the opposite. The game became so popular so quickly that the servers just couldn't handle all of the new players. Thankfully, 1047 Games was able to acquire $10 MIllion in funding to expand their team and servers. The launch from beta to the full release on July 27th was delayed and changed to sometime in August. There is no definite date as to when the beta will be officially over, but I have a feeling we are close.

I have been monitoring the Splitgate Discord group pretty much every single day for the last couple of weeks. Each time I was met with a notice of approximate wait times ranging from 60-90 minutes. I barely have enough time to play video games as it is, so waiting that long in a queue just to get in wasn't going to work for me. On August 6th, I was finally able to get in within 5 minutes of joining the queue. My hiatus was finally able to come to an end.

Upon my return, I was greeted with 3 new maps. Crag, Impact, and Forgone Destruction. In my very first match back, I was lucky enough to get into a lobby that voted for Forgone Destruction. This gameplay video is of that first match. I was a bit rusty after spending so long away from the game, but I still had a ton of fun. I really enjoyed this map and its varying levels of verticality.

Were you lucky enough to play Splitgate any during all of the server issues? Do you have faith in this game to continue being not only popular but also great? What types of things would you like to see the developers implement next?

Let me know in the comments.

Thanks for checking out my video 😎🤝
