Nintendo Switch Owners Get Free Preview of Splatoon 2 During Global Testfire

I love the players wit the roller. They are the only players I can kill with my bad shooter skills.

I hope this game has a one player mode, cause i'm not seeing fun in the turf war game. Also i lost a lot, mostly cause i kept getting cripple match ups.

This is definitely a game with a multiplayer focus, but turf war isn't the only game mode I'm sure. It's a good mode for people who aren't good at shooters, though, because kills and deaths don't really matter much. I got 10 kills in one game and my team still lost.

I can see that although i'm not sure how wins are calculated. I see the goal is to have more ink than the other team but is it calculated by total score of your team or how much ink you got than the other? Secondly they matched me with people who didn't do anything.... Really they stood there at the start the whole time and waited. I know the their score was zero at the end. It happened more than 5 times.

I don't mind a deep multiplayer game but the single player is just as important. So i hope there is a good one in this game, I'm not really in the position to hit pre-order without more time to play. This would be one of those games you have just cause you know lots of others (especially women) will have and wanna play with if you perhaps searching for friends in common, for a casual.

It's percentage of the map covered in your team's color when time runs out. Only the ground counts, no walls. I'm not sure how individual points are calculated, seems to be the amount of ground covered by you (dunno if at the end only or throughout) plus kills and deaths factored in somehow.

Well that's just bad luck. I had a couple AFKs on my teams but it was one per team at most, still managed to win one of those games.

Yeah no offense but i'm not really a fan of the Team death match Style games especially with no way to communicate or have a proper strategy to go by, when the game requires much of it. Perhaps i shouldn't call this game Team death match style, just that anything with relevance to team and lack of co-operation is what i should say. I understand the rules, is a matter of me knowing how to play and getting better. Then being able to work with others well, and that where it ends since there is lack of synergy.

In certain situations I suppose moving together as a team might help, but ultimately this mode at least I don't think requires much in the way of teamwork. As long as everyone is painting uncovered ground or over the top of enemy paint, being spread out will work just as well, if not better. Getting splatted only takes you out for a couple seconds and then you can just squid mode right back into the middle of everything. So more than anything it's about making that one final push for turf with ~30 seconds left.

For turf war (the mode that was/is being used for the testfire) the ONLY thing that matters is how much of the map (not including walls, unless they changed that) is covered with your ink at the end of the game, it's a pretty bad mode if you want to play competitively at all because the last 30 seconds always end up being equally or more important as the first 2:30 of the match. That's why a) this mode wasn't ranked in splatoon 1 and b) there is basically 0 people who play it competitively. There will most likely be ranked modes in the final game which are more like more traditional shooters (Splatoon 1 had a capture the flag style mode, a king of the hill mode and one other mode that was sort of a combination of the two), these modes can be quite kill oriented compared to turf wars. There also was a single payer mode in splatoon 1 and I'm 99% sure it has been confirmed that splatoon 2 will get a one as well.
