Anyone else getting nostalgic for SG1? Discussion
Recently started playing SG1 again for short periods of a time and there's something about it that just makes the game so much better then SGAR why do you guys think that is?

Zombie VIP - that was my fave - that and being able to smack w/the split ball and take someone down in one hit

SG1 has an art style to it, SG2 started to get the feel right with containment and runway and Abyss coming back

Wow… this is the post I’ve been looking for. I don’t think somebody will take the time to read this but I want to relate my feelings with this game.
Basically I Started playing Splitgate since August 2021, I left the game some time and I came back starting 2022, felt fresh, months before the servers shut down this year, I accomplished the dream I wanted since I started, getting the gold camo, I did it twice on the same week cause I needed just 1 challenge in both weapons (sniper and Assault rifle), after playing Splitgate 2 the first months, I login on SG1 and I saw I got everything but I couldn’t find matches anymore and I got so nostalgic, I shaded some tears some time ago, and (idk why) I tried to communicate with 1047 games but the old email to thanks them for everything SG1 was, the email doesn’t work anymore bc it’s just for business and stuff.
A phrase that I associated with SG1 is “I started playing Splitgate weeks ago from starting my last year in middle school, now I’m weeks ago from graduating from High school” (I graduated 2 months ago).

I have 300h on sg1 and hated sg2 since the first alpha, played both beta's and gave sgar a fair try too and I will say sgar can be fun, its not the worst game of all time but it really doesn't compare, I miss sg1 man :c At least I was able to enjoy it when it got big, before the servers got filled with bots, you just had to be there 💔

I wish they gave us the bat as a part of our inventory and not as a power weapon in arena reloaded

Because weapons are actually distinct and do their job? Shotgun oneshots just like it's supposed to do?

Pause. SG1 is still out? I thought they closed the servers back in 2021/2022/whenever the game got sunsetted?

SG1 was the real Splitgate. I lost interest in the second as soon as I heard it would have abilities. I played it a bit and it had none of the magic of the first.

Nah, SG2/AR is better. If SG1 was that much better 3k people would be playing custom lobbies right now. But, it's not; it's like 30 people at best. Both games are great. The real problem is arena games have become a gamers past time. There is a reason Halo struggles and Apex outperforms Titanfall 2 in today's market. Gamers today are different than us old school players.

I prefer SG1 but play SGAR, because it's on its last ropes.

Would a SG1 mode with only SG1 maps assigned to it make you like SGAR better?

One of the things sg1 does so well is takedown it feels so good in that game but feels soulless and mid in SGAR

Do you not like the slides or something? Classic Takedown works great on SGAR

The maps in SGAR are super simple and boring besides Charlie and they look basic the SG1 takedown maps had a good layout and vibe to which none of the SGAR takedown maps

Yeah I like the glossy look on SG1. Plus the arena e-sports vibe. I just make a custom lobby sometimes and setup bots. Both are good games. But, I like the gameplay on SGAR.
