Splatoon 3 discussion

What could possibly justify this being an entirely new game instead of an expansion pack for Splatoon 2? So far we've seen a new weapon type (bows) and a new story mode... but both of those things can and have been added to 2 through DLC.

Rebalance
New idols
New maps and design of city
Added features we have yet to find out about.
Future proofing to be ported to the switch's successor as Splatoon 3: Deluxe.

well yeah salmon run and octo expansion couldve just been included with a splatoon 1 port

money

Its almost as if we got a bare bones trailer that is only showing minor new things and we can expect far more details in the future.

>ignoring the changes to core gameplay mechanics
they showed that the spawnpoint is gone, you jump from outside the stage instead of the spawn point on the map now apparently. Also, there's new moves (such as launching up and out of vertical walls) and noticeably faster movement. No idea what the little salmonid does yet either.

>the spawnpoint is gone, you jump from outside the stage instead of the spawn point on the map
What does this mean? Just an aesthetic difference or there be multiple spawn points on the map that and where the player spawns after death changes dynamically ala CoD or something?

did you even watch it?

>What could possibly justify this being an entirely new game instead of an expansion pack for Splatoon 1? So far we've seen a new weapon type and a new story mode...

they know they can get away with it, don't forget to pay for the 30$ DLC for splatoon 3 actual story mode

You know Dab Forums, they prefer their games radically different to justify a sequal so they can bitch about how to much was changed.

...

CHAOS CHADS WHERE YOU AT
THIS IS OUR GAME

the core movement seems different, like a base substrafe jump and a superjump off of wall climb

yeah there is, they tweeted about it

FUCK LAWFAGS
CHAOS WORLD BAYBEE

Yep, I saw a video talking about the gameplay in the trailer and he pointed out how the bow user jumped really high from a standing position for seemingly no reason, so he wondered if there was a new mechanic related to that too. Pic related.
Very glad there's new movement options, was the thing I wanted the most out of a new game.

Isn’t this the new tranny game Nintendo is shitting out

It's only tranny game if the females are designed to look like men.

>completely rebalance the entire game from scratch and replace all maps with new ones

retarded

very obvious you never even touched splatoon

>don't forget to pay for the 30$ DLC for splatoon 3 actual story mode

i feel in this case, that wont happen here.

you mean wadsm's vid? I've watched it too

So they put magic dust on splatoon 2 maps or something like that in order to splatoon 1 can't make it work, like iwata bones grinded to dust?
Because if splatoon 1 can run those maps, then yes, it can be added via a patch, no matter how good or balanced they are and no matter how hard your fanboyism want to say the opposite

how far we've fallen

>don't forget to pay for the 30$ DLC for splatoon 3 actual story mode
Base Splatoon 2 had a story mode though...?

>i feel in this case, that wont happen here.
And why they wouldn't? They got away with splatoon 2 and got no negative feedbacks out of it, tell me one reason why they wouldn't do it for splatoon 3?

Yes, he knows his shit

>>completely rebalance the entire game from scratch and replace all maps with new ones
We don't actually know the extent of this and the game as it stands hardly needs an entire re-balance anyway. I agree with the guy, the trailer didn't really show anything that justifies making an entirely new game considering the quality of Octo expansion. If it were coming to a new console I could understand making an entirely new game, but I can't see the justification at this point. Apart from making money.

splatoon 2 had a noticeable graphical bump over splat 1, so no the splat 2 maps likely cannot run on the wii u version.

>30$ and keeping all your content vs 60$

that was a post about splatoon 2 user, read the reply chain next time.

It's as though they are not a singular individual

not him but octo expansion wasn't $30

I addressed the same argument and applied it to 3 by saying that 2 being on a new console justifies its existence.

>graphical bump
Isn't just the game overall who got that upgrade? Like how a game can be both on ps3 on ps4 and just have a slight graphism difference but yet can both run the same?

I really don't see what make splatoon 2 maps impossible to port to splatoon 1

it depends how much 3 changes, very little is known so far yet we still saw changes to core movement mechanics and respawning

Same difference
Just lower the price if you want but they can get away with selling you any kind of dlc they want and get called proud and brave for doing so

Splatoon 2 completely rebalanced the game. Most specials didn't return and were substituted, many abilities didn't return or were reworked, many returning maps were reworked, ranked mode was completely reworked. If they made Splatoon 2 just Splatoon 1 patches and DLC, base Splatoon 1 would be a completely different meta. The existing one that plays differently would be gone forever.
People who say Splatoon sequels should be DLC are completely delusional and never played any Splatoon game. We DO get DLC and free updates when they're fitting. Splatoon 1 to 2 or 2 to 3 aren't fitting for patches/DLC.

$19.99 was a pretty good price for what we got, but I wouldn't be surprised if 3's DLC bumps up to $30.

>What could possibly justify this being an entirely new game instead of an expansion pack for Splatoon 2?
Same argument could be made for Splatoon 2.
It's basically the same thing as Splatoon 1

>and get called proud and brave for doing so
what the fuck kind of narrative are you inventing here, nobody ever said this

Yeah, I guess they were under pressure to end the Direct on something big and new and Splat3 was the best they could. And if it isn't out until 2022 this year looks pretty dry for first party. I am looking forward to Mario Golf at least.

I'm sure there will be some sort of perk or incentive for 2 players. Don't they do this with every major online game that gets a sequel?

Attached: download (2).jpg (245x205, 7.71K)

I wonder if having a save for 2 on your Switch will let you keep your gear in 3?

So there no technical limit needing to make a new game
Just some jargon about metafags, got it

you haven't played either game, and that's okay, but come the fuck on the difference in their environment detail and graphical fidelity is really obvious in a side-by-side. Also, splatoon 1 itself had multiple big free updates including new maps, it was supported for a long while which was especially surprising for a wii u game. Splatoon 2, as previously stated, rebalanced the whole thing from scratch by throwing out every special weapon and replacing it with new ones, along with major changes to main weapons too (along with new main weapon types) - this is also why the maps got completely replaced, with some returning old maps being added back gradually after a rework where appropriate.

making playing with friends online fucking possible. there is no party system and no pre game lobby. fortnite is 1000% easier to play with friends online on switch and that is retarded

It even works in the same engine. Unless it's going to be launching on a new console then it's just a stupid ass way to get splatoon 2 players to pay 60 bucks.

Shut up and buy the game kid

Yes daddy

How come Splatoon inspires so much vitriol from people who never played it?

bag, dicks and crows, etc.

I have played it, it's one of my favourite team-based online games, I just think what nintendo did is a huge dick move.

>you can't have new content, if there too much it need to be a new game
If i wouldn't be playing tf2, I would have laughed at your faces

Attached: Es7fDyqXMAEMhhx.jpg (967x1155, 66.32K)

tf2 is a beaten horse by this point, it desperately needs a new game. There hasn't been any major change to it in years.

>TF2
Why didn't they just add onto the original TF?

Nintendies are retarded. They'll buy anything. So why sell a 30$ DLC when you can charge them $60 for the same content. They already defend $60 ports, rom collections and now a $60 version of a decade old game.

>They already defend $60 ports, rom collections and now a $60 version of a decade old game.
I don't defend any of those things, SSHD can go fuck itself and so can 3D allstars for that matter. Splatoon is a great series and the only people seething over this legitimately don't play the games anyway and don't realize how different they actually are.

...

Because the game is actually a new game just based in the same universe?
There nothing from the original game who got ported over tf2?

>blatantly ignores the entire post
faggot

what justifies making a new game?

it's a 60 dollar paywall

You're not immune to fanboyism, splatoon do that type of shit too

Attached: a5f (2).jpg (640x466, 29.33K)

what type of shit do splatoon do

there is legitimately nothing wrong with splatoon getting a sequel, it does everything a sequel should normally do. The only people complaining about it don't know what the differences actually are between the games since they didn't play them both.

Creating a whole new game or making content you CAN'T add in your original game due to technical problem

There seems to be completely new core mechanics to basic turf wars from what we've seen in the first moments of the multiplayer segments of the trailer
>'Squid Roll' and 'Squid Surge' to jump faster and possibly attack
>New spawn pads that launches you into battle
>Customizable weapons

Its gonna be a proper sequel and not just 'Splatoon 1 but with more stuff''

Attached: EudxmbeVoAE966N.jpg (1920x1080, 984K)

yeah i’ll pay 60 bucks for new hairstyles what about it

I want Mario 64/Odyssey-sized levels you can run around in story mode. Please no more floating platform obstacle course/ Let's get some exploration and freedom in the single-player mode please. I want to run around in the environment and talk to NPCs and do missions/quests and shit and actual lore, not just solve tedious puzzles.

and how do you know this isn't the case here?

They better have cloud saves this time, goddamn it

the gameplay of splatoon suits itself well to somewhat linear challenge like levels which the octo expansion made very clear, still if they go for semi-open level designs with collectibles instead that would be really cool

DLC can ruin games. See Tekken 7, I'd prefer if they stopped at season 2 and made Tekken 8 instead of making the game worse

Because it's the same game as 1 and there nothing proving me they couldn't just have added the maps and weapon to the first game

>Because it's the same game as 1
it's not.

Doesn't TF2 take out a lot of grenades from TF:C

Battle Royale

>Because it's the same game as 1
Disingenuous retard

Didn't know they removed the inkling, their paint gun and being able to swim in ink

Didn't know a sequel needs to remove everything from the previous game to exist.

So TF2 is the same as TF:C, because it has everyone but the Citizen?

>no more pointing killer wail/stingray at the spawn for free kills
God bless
So as long as the game takes place in an entirely new city with its own distinct aesthetic, how do you folks think they'll justify shoving Moray Towers in yet agajn?

This. Also fucking throw in some much-needed dedicated servers. Peer2peer was ok like a zillion years ago when online was still barely brand new, not the current decade shit we're in now, fuck peer2peer

the game is going to pander to LGBTs audience and FUCKING DROP fuck you Nintendo of Japan oh Japan I thought you're based!!

Granted not the best subject for this point as Splatoon is 80% online play, but still

Thanks for proving my point by saying tfc is nothing like tf2

splatoon 2 came around less than 3 years after splatoon 1 because they wanted that shit on the switch ASAP
splatoon 3 is coming out nearly 4 years after splatoon 2, so devtime won't be as rushed

Hopefully splitscreen.

Rebalancing the specials
More movement options
Upgraded graphics
New maps
New single player campaign

Isnt every shooter sequal just a DLC pack?

Explain

i dont actually play splatoon, i just listen to the Splatoon live concert music (like 100's of times while i run outside because it's so catchy and nicely paced) and occasionally fap to the fanart

i'll buy Splatoon 3 and probably only play it for a few hours like 1 and 2
what does that make me?

there's also not going to be another one

>they showed that the spawnpoint is gone
nope, still there
the "jumping from outside the stage" will probably only happen once at the start of the game, to limit people stacking on top of each other painting the same area which usually happens at the beginning of each turf war game.

Do you know anything about this game?

user, when was the last new content update

Thought they were trying to solve spawn camping. Maybe it's just a squid jump point?

last year?
and before that the year before?
and constant updates when there is an event and added maps?

Have the new idols been shown yet?

only when we get a official trailer. The dev team team never shows them on a Announcement trailer

don't bullshit me

No
I'm hoping they don't do idols, if there's anything I'm hoping they do a band so they can use some of the funky designs they have instead of just being two squid/octo girls

lol it’s that new tranny game from Nintendo? so much for based weebs huh

>What could possibly justify this being an entirely new game instead of an expansion pack for Splatoon 2?
Nintendo knows Splatoon fans are pedos who will buy ANYTHING with the Splatoon logo on it. Really this is just Nintendo fans in general.

Never played the game confirmed

>doesn't know how environmental story telling works
They obviously covered up the spawn point because it's not in use anymore.

Nothing wrong with virtual pedophilia

Substantial rebalance of the multiplayer, including additional movement options like the spiral jump when climbing, for one. This will probably mean reworking of old maps as well, when they add them as additional content.

Beyond that though, do they really even need to justify it? It will have been been 5 years since the release of Splatoon 2 by the time this comes out. Existing fans are going to buy it, and people who felt they missed the boat on Splatoon 2's main update lifecycle will join in room I have at least 3 friends who are convinced splat2n isn't worth buying because it's been out so long (which is dumb because you can still consistently find a match with no problem) and already they are planning to buy 3. So its a good business decision if nothing else.

I'm thinking it's there to be a place you can Squid Jump to

that would make sense in stages they brought back, not in newer ones

cope

Of course the fanboy of the console whose audience is nothing, but mentally ill child groomers, would know who or what is a pedo.

Why would you want to hoard a physical copy of a game that will be unplayable by the time your digital copy magically disappears?

Again, not the best example for games like Splatoon where most of the legwork is done by the opnline features
if you give me the choice though, physical beats digital for preservation means every day

>Please no more floating platform obstacle course
Cringe. I would take both open segments and floating platform obstacle course but you cant just complwtely remove the traditional platforming segments, some of them were very fun.

New map with similar geography.

How burned has Dab Forums been on EA and Ubisoft games that they're so willing to question the validity of a sequel? I remember when I was a kid I got one R&C game a year and one Jak game and it was fucking great. Significant changes but still carried over lots of the good from the last titles. I'm convinced you all got fucked on buying Assassin's Creed or something which doesn't bother improving between games. Splatoon has plenty to change which would delete shit if it was a dlc for 2
>redo multiplayer networking to support battle royale/larger battles
>make clothe leveling system not grindy shit

>Redo algorithm that chooses what gets thrown at you in salmon run

But nahhhh...I'd rather wait until 2025 to get Splatoon 3 with improvements that Nintendo probably thought up of seven years ago when the second game came out
Fuck Dab Forums.

I would legitimately have rather they made a new fucking game entirely than implemented Meet your Match.

>that would make sense in stages they brought back, not in newer ones
Easy lore explanation: The Expresso is an emerging technology.

that is literally what I was trying to do dummy

>and not just 'Splatoon 1 but with more stuff''
Bruh, isn't that what most sequels for other games are? "Like the original game but with more stuff'. Not sure why Splatoon is the one being singled out here when it had literally new everything for the sequel.

Explain the ported maps than retard?

This was literally the one game mechanic they explicitly showed you fucking retard, if you think it's just an aesthetic difference you clearly didn't watch the trailer and have no reason to be in this thread.

>W-WELL IT HAS SOME OF THE SAME MAPS SO ITS A PORT
Fucking chimp.

Those were all free DLC later down the line.
Perchance do you think Pokemon Silver should have been an add-on to Pokemon Blue?

Those came later. We had a bunch of new maps at launch with more being added on with every new patch.

Pokemon Silver introduced over a hundre new pokemons and an new continent.

Splatoon could just be dlc.

Why don't you tell us what should a sequel has that makes it a sequel?

>OH WOW IT'S STILL A THIRD PERSON SHOOTER? OMG THIS IS LITERALLY JUST SPLATOON 2 DLC WHY ISN'T IT AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT GENRE OF GAME HOW CAN THEY EVEN CALL IT A SEQUEL
Nevermind the fact that we've literally only seen the teaser trailer, what the fuck do you consider a "sequel"?

Just admit you don't like the game and move the fuck on instead of trying to perpetuate this absurd, unreachable standard for what can be considered a sequel.

>still going to have 15hz tick rate
>still going to have rotations

It's still splatoon so it will be fun i guess but damn if the above doesn't make me seethe.

Why are people so convinced Nintendo absolutely MUST make Mario Kart 9 for the Switch and they cannot wait for the next console while simultaneously asking on the same token why Splatoon 3 can't just be an expansion for the rushed pseudo-port-job that was Splatoon 2?

Attached: 1612565881648.png (322x369, 237.42K)

The inklings have improved models with facial flexes now. This shit isnt going to be out for a year and a half at least so you can bet there's going to be a lot more added than we know about.

Why do people assume the next console is going to be coming soon when the Switch is an enormous runaway success?

I agree with the tickrate being shit.
There's literally nothing wrong with rotations.
I hope they address this but judging from animal crossing they wont.
Then why do I get paired with japs constantly?
Yeah they probably will since they thought adding main power up was a good idea.

While I think people calling Splatoon 2 a port are retarded, Splatoon 3 already seems far more distanced from 2 than 2 was from 1. From what I've been able to piece together, the hub seems far more complex and generally larger, not to mention that desert area at the start and the fact that you get a little companion salmonid may be hinting at a more substantial singleplayer mode.

>There's literally nothing wrong with rotations.
Are you telling me you've never gotten onto Splatoon and went "hmm today I want to play x mode" and turns out it won't be in rotation for like 6 hours?
Shit pisses me off. I often decide to simply not play when I see that.

really looking forward to it
what I hope for is unranked ranked modes and a single player more like Octo Expansion, along with minor tweaks that should be simple to implement like being able to skip the intro and being able to actually play together with friends

The people complaining about Splatoon 3 are the same faggots the pre-ordered a $70 visual upgrade to Demons Souls.

I personally like it because it gives me a definite starting/stopping point because otherwise with multiplayer games I fall into a trap of wanting to play just one more match. That's probably not a good enough reason for the average player though.
Nintendo should just add a matchmaking option to custom lobbies and call it good.

This. 60 bucks aint shit. Of course I hope it’s a quality game and worth it (it will be) but people bitching about 60 bucks probably shouldn’t be spending money in the first place.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that the singleplayer mode is going to be fairly in depth, involving that giant desert at the start and the little salmonid you can customize.

God damn it.

This was the ONE game from the direct that I actually gave a fuck about and I can't fucking play it. The apartment I'm living at currently has a fucking NAT-TYPE: D wifi and they just recently discontinued the use of Ethernet cords all together a couple of months ago. I can now no longer play Switch games online AT ALL, except for Minecraft for some god damn reason.

Well trannys have influenced it probably won’t be long before fat acceptance cunts get a say and complain about all the squid kids being so lean and slender

Pokemon Silver added new maps, a few new moves, two new types, and made adjustments.
Splatoon 3 introduces new mals, new weapons, new weapon types, new movement options...

C***y power outweighs trans in the Jap mind

No?

I need to pick up some curry powder from the store

Same honestly

Why? I play Switch on wifi in a fucking dogshit connection rural area and I hardly ever have connection issues on Splatoon. Smash, however, works like shit.

It also was on the fucking game boy you retard.

Splatoon didn't deserve a sequel so soon. Splatoon's online is still alive and well and Nintendo can choose to keep it alive just by hosting more splatfests instead of stopping them entirely just to do the odd rerun in the future.
If any game needed a new game on the switch, it should have been Mario Kart. The only game they have on the switch atm is a port of the wii u version but with an updated battle system which, after buying and playing the wii u version, just isn't worth the investment.

The new mobility, more detailed squid models and the new spawn mechanics. And I suppose those weird robo crabs

Splatoon is a Nintendo flagship now. DK Metroid Mario kart fags are going to seethe,

I’m not reading the whole thread because of a migraine, but consider the following

>make it an expansion
>tell your friends
>”dude the game is like 5 years old”

>make it a numbered sequel
>tell your friends
“YEAH MAN HYPE TRAIN”

People are animals, basically. Also with in the case of Splatoon, Nintendo deserves the money.

Funny enough the dessert is more Law that Chaos

New mechanics.
New physics.
Rebalanced weapons.
New weapons being added and not all old weapons returning.
New stages being added and not all old stages returning.
New characters being added and not all old characters returning.
A significant single player.

From the trailer alone it's already incompatible with Splatoon 2.

They mean the Octo Expansion should have been the default story mode, as the base story mode is kinda... Too much like the first game.

If I had to guess Splatoon 2's sales have fallen off a ton and, being one of Nintendo's biggest franchises now, they want to get Splatoon earning for them again
MK8D is still selling gangbusters, so Nintendo has less incentive to make a new one. Wish they would, though.

no?

Give me the legacy Octo Expansion and Octo Valley clothes with a save from 2, and make having Amiibos another way to get em

>You have to have sex to post on this website
>on Dab Forums of all places

Bruh, you cant say that you prefeer Jungle Inferno, MYM and Wuttvile over TF3. Dont act retarded just to be a contrarian

that's the fucking point retard. It's a demonstration of the differences.

It was rushed from the dead WiiU.

As someone who never played splatoon before, is it really fun at all? The concept of the game and aesthetic is neat but the multiplayer focus disinterested me. Like what is there really to do in it?

How did they "get away" with Splatoon 2? Would you have preferred they just port 1 like they did with every other WiiU game? At least with 2 we got a bunch of new stuff.

New movement mechanics
New spawning
New weapons
New characters
New stages
Oh but most importantly:
The place the actual value of the game is, a new single player campaign. Splatoon 2 if only multiplayer would be a 30 dollar game. The campaign mode makes it easily worth 60; same deal here. Plus, it will have been what, 4 or 5 years between 2 and 3? That's a fine space for a sequel. I would have liked to have instead seen them do a spin off finally and then do splatoon 3 for switch pro or next gen whichevers happening next, but hey, I'll take it. I can't wait.

>Filename

This wiiU was a disaster and Splatoon was one of the few bright spots. They knew they had a good ip on their hands and rushed out splat 2 for the switch. It’s clearly a rush job and is still an amazing game. I’m excited to think how good Splatoon 3 will be with them not having to rush it out and develop it well.

casual matches are all turf war, ranked cycles between several different game modes
singleplayer campaign plays like a platformer. they tended to be short, but splat 2's octo expansion has decent length to it and is incredible

It’s a lot of fun and a great take on the fps genre. Single player and octo expansion are great but yeah if you don’t enjoy multiplayer for whatever reason you might not get much out of it. The great part of the game and one of the least talked about things is just how smoothly it controls and how good it feels to play. Videos don’t do it justice, it’s hard to describe smooth is the only word tha comes to mind.

I normally don't like playing shooters or multiplayer with randoms, but the gameplay and matches are quick. So instead of being stuck on a shitty team for over 10 minutes, most matches cycle in about half the time.
Also tons of weapon varieties with their own loadouts, so you'll face a lot of different strategies and combinations.

Splatoon 2's base campaign is a lot better than Splatoon 2's DLC.
t. just playing them back to back now.

Honestly, TF2 would've been better if it was two games and also not free anymore.

Are you retarded? Don't name your files if you're too retarded to do basic shitposting

Dude look at the numbers. Hardly anyone had a WiiU. You might as well start MK8’s life at it’s switch launch, which would make it only about 4 years old. And yeah it still being in the top 10 on eshop no matter what games come out, they could just finish MK9 and shelve it until Switch 2. Musicians shelve albums for later all the time

Because Splatoon 2 is a whole new game on Switch. MK9 Deluxe isn't.
:^P

Cross Gen title for Switch successor after it gets delayed to 2023.

Wait, Splatoon 2 didn't have idols either. Pearl is a popstar/rapper(?) and Marina is a DJ.

This. It WILL be delayed. This was a teaser to drum up hype because they didn’t have shit else to show otherwise

If pokemon blue was released in 2017, would you want pokemon silver in 2022 to be DLC isntead of its own game?

says the one talking like one. Take the dick out of your mouth and speak properly faggot

>15hz tick rate
you are fucking joking,there is no way they actually got away with this. they might have beat apex servers by a fucking landslide if you aren't fucking with me

Wasn't this what you guys said about Splatoon 2?

>new weapons
>new maps
>new movement options
>new subs(i think the crab is a sub idk)
>redesigned returning weapons
>new customization options
>new singleplayer mode with vastly different setting than the previous campaings
>new hub
>new characters
>returning specials from 1, probably rebalanced

and this is just from this trailer btw

How do I become the ultimate Splatoon fan? I’m already going to pay a stupid amount for a Marie plush

These things are all good things. If it weren’t for the tick rate it would be unplayable trash like smash. Rotations keep it fresh otherwise everyone would flock to the same maps and modes. I like the unskippable intro because it makes adhd zoomer faggots seethe though I concede if they’re going to make and keep it unskippable there should be more variety in the things they do and say and less same-y

By your logic, dark souls should have been a content update for demon souls, the $70 miles morales game should have been a free update and Skyrim should just be a downloadable mod for morrowind because they’re on the same engine.

Play the game?

>15hz
I refused ot believe this is accurate, but then I found out that Battlefield 4 has 10hz tick rate KEK

Get X rank in evry ranked mode on splat 2 and make a custom ink roller irl

Demicuck is the weakest messiah he could barely defeat lucifer, what a jobber. Why are chaoscucks so weak?

pick up splatoon 2 if you have nso, its a pretty fun game and we are still probably a year away from 3 at minimum. if you do enjoy it make sure to check out octo expansion some time its legit one the best dlc expansions to release in years.

also you must pledge your devotion to your idol of choice. (Marie being the correct choice)

which weapon do you main Dab Forums?, i love the kensa octobrush and the classic splattershot

The original spawn point must be for super jumping back to avoid dying, and the floating spawners allow you to spawn and jump in after you die.

Squeezer main, h-3 sometimes, l-3 every now n then

Notice the recycling arrows are on the floating spawners but not on the spawner on the ground. Looks like you can only respawn in the air.

its pretty interesting if this is their way to combat spawn camping, some of the short ranged weapons could benefit a lot with this and the new movement options

also i hope they just fucking remove the splat pro or MPU

Just needs less range the power is fine if they cut the range by 15-30% or so. It shoots as far as the squeezer and h-3 and kills in the same or fewer hits with none of the downside
