* ImprobableWeaponUser: If you pick up the Oddball in relevant game modes, your hands are too busy to use a weapon with it, but it doesn't stop you from simply whacking an enemy in the face with the ball itself.



* QuickMelee: You can always punch an enemy or strike them with the butt of your weapon for half their health. Sometimes it's even quicker for a quick finish than shooting them.

A multiplayer arena FirstPersonShooter created by 1047 Games, ''Splitgate'' aims to give the classic close-quarters FPS experience a whole new dimension with the introduction of Portals: Gateways any player can open in specific surfaces, through which both players and their firepower may pass. Crossing the map in seconds, sniping a great arena from its most hidden corners, shooting your foe in the back of the neck as you're fighting face to face, ''Splitgate'' makes it this and more perfectly possible.

The game, often described as ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' meets ''Videogame/{{Portal}}'', is free to play on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}, Microsoft's and Playstation stores.
