r/Empulse

Played the beta for 36 hours and I do enjoy it, but it seems kinda hollow compared to previous titles. Like where did the Mellon popping sound go from getting headshots? Some off the kills need more crunch:weight to them. Chunks should start to come off the bullet sponge enemies in horde etc. Things like this add to the overall quality of the game and make it feel less cheap/mobile. I hope they can do something in 2 months.

When I played the first splitgate, getting the shotgun was an immediate "this is where the fun begins" moment for me, a one hit but short range weapon was perfect with portals.

When I saw the movement of splitgate 2, I was excited and once I unlocked the shot gun and blasted my first enemy, imagine my surprise when I needed more than one shot.

But finally, 1047 realised that the high damage, low range shotgun was the best shotgun, paired with the speed and movement in empulse, you can mostly compete with rapid firing enemies. So after my complaints in the splitgate subs, I am happy.

I just bought this game on Xbox and got destroyed. I was lucky if I was getting 5 kills. this game very similar too spilt gate 2 in which I was 3 to top ranked on that game. I’m usually above average on most fps game. Maybe I’m just coping but I felt like my bullets weren’t registering and it also felt like this game was made for mouse and keyboard instead of controller

Did anyone else see the free for all trailer on YouTube earlier today? I can't find it anywhere now and I know I'm not losing my mind.

It looked like a 8 player arena with 2 mechs.

I would prefer if mods didn't delete this post, but it's kinda off topic so I won't be mad tbh.

I'm just gonna be the one to say it, why can't we talk about the game, give feedback, and just have fun?

Do you guys even have the game, and don't throw “oH, wHy WoUlD i BuY iT cOnSiDeRiNg 1047S tRaCk ReCoRd.” at me, that excuse is getting old, come up with a new one im getting bored.

Anyway, that's a serious question though, are we just gonna stare at steam charts all day instead of actually playing the FUCKING GAME (Again, if you even own it, which I mean you probably don't so idk why I'm even saying).

What the hell is the point of even hating on this studio, almost everything people complain about there is a reason behind it.

Downvote this post all you want.

I would LOVE to hear your thoughts ig idk.

Red dot sight having to waste a mod slot and having to pick between better hipfire or an ads reticle that isn't complete garbage sucks, zoom felt so much better because these iron sights were really bad

in Titanfall 2 most iron sights even including the ones I dislike don't block nearly as much of the body for the target I'm shooting at and a lot of them still have some sort of dot, circle or general indicator of where my bullets are going to land (before recoil/bloom)

still doesn't help the hipfire reticles don't feel good enough to go hipfire only, but I feel like going hipfire only wouldn't be a proper solution when there's a reason zoom exists even in games where hipfire and zoom/ads are exactly 1:1, in Titanfall too I'm still ADSing at least 30% of the time for weapons I mostly hipfire with

guns already did not feel good enough for red dot sight to waste a mod slot, grip and laser sight shouldn't exist as mods in the first place and the guns should feel better at base like other shooters so you can run more interesting mods

Wardogs is releasing in EA next month & Dev have posted an official video with 10 reasons not to buy the game. I can relate to every reason with Empulse. 1047 should have communicated in a similar manner.

So um whats going on? Nobodys playing or what? Ive been searching a game for 12min

I didn’t play for a month and now the game feels incredibly slow. Might be in my head but it feels much less fluid.

The new ADS takes away whatever separation this game tired to have from current FPS games and I personally believe this feature contributes to a slower paced game.

It’s a shame this game died so quickly as I had a lot of fun in the beginning.

The time between matches is taking ages now, I'd love bot matches to do challenges in. Game is great, just not enough games

I don't want to be a debbie downer but surely 1047 can't sustain like this. Are they planning on keeping this game In early access for 12 months? It's already hemorrhaged its not very sizable player base.

hopefully they can keep working on it and an official 1.0 launch can bring more players in but realistically I don't see how they're gonna be able to keep the game going for much longer.

I recently saw that in private matches you are allowed to have 24 players in a lobby. Sadly I couldn't completely fill the lobby, but holy smokes it's still extremely fun! I feel like at some point they should add in BTB as a limited time mode. If the devs think it won't flow nicely on the base maps, put it on the new large map that's still being worked on.

I was at Quakecon this past weekend and watched someone play Empulse pretty much on the ground the hole time. They got decent kills and did okay in the match. That being said it just looked so dull, and it made me wonder if there needs to be more movement incentives. They did some movements, but never chained anything together. Sure it could be a skill gap, but if they are doing decent on the scoreboard, why would they bother improving? I don't know I love movement shooters, but they just can't seem to thrive, so I'm going to play this while I can still find matches until the next one releases to small population that slowly dies, rinse and repeat.

They need a store/battlepass. Idec about free to play right this second but they need cash flow and I’m willing to support. I usually hate greedy micros but man something needs to happen. I love this game

I'm glad it's here for the folks that wanted it but i wished it was an attachment or a toggle instead of the default.

I really enjoyed the Aiming we had previously and it made the game very fun to play with.
