Thank you for this pointer - I've often thought that an arena shooter with portals would be fun, and actually thought about trying to mod Xonotic a couple of times to pull it off (I obviously never did - couldn't quite grok the build system or the code at the time).

I looked this up on steam and noticed it's f2p, have you noticed any negative impact from that?

I haven't seen any of the usual shady f2p dark patterns which is another reason I've stuck around Splitgate for a while. It was refreshing and honestly I was getting really tired of games predatory approaches. The community has really been great too, I haven't ever really hung around a games discord/twitch/community events before. There are "supercustom" events every weekend where people get together to play curated community maps which has been great but also from the variety there makes me think the game has barely even started tapping the potential they could have with non-traditional arena maps enabled by the portal mechanics.
