Fortnite player sick of Battle Royale turning into CoD
Fortnite player Jumanji2WasAScam asked the Fortnite community: “Anyone else feeling bored out of their minds with BR?
“In 2023 I averaged 1.7 hours a day playing fortnite, this new chapter I’m averaging 15 mins a day. It is so boring.. the artstyle, the weapons and cod attachments, gameplay being just a sniper fest and souless with no wacky unique fortnite weapons.
“This doesn’t feel like Fortnite anymore. It feels like the makers of CoD or PUBG were told to create their version of Fortnite and this is what we got.”
Various players flooded in to agree. “Yeah, this sweaty CoD-like sh*t is tedious. Why would I not just play Call of Duty instead? People play Fortnite for the fun and craziness,” one commented.
Another added: “Everything just feels generic. I feel like the game is trying to be more appealing to cod-like players. But it being different from cod and the likes is what made the game big in the first place.”
There was even some CoD players who echoed the same thoughts: “I’ll admit that I’m a CoD player who just started playing last month and I’m really enjoying it. But I definitely agree it feels empty.”
While others homed in on other issues with Chapter 5. This was mostly in regards to the thought that “Medallions are a cool idea but again they dropped the ball,” and players stating that “It’s the matchmaking that is driving me insane. Either bots or either pros that snipe you with a friggin pistol from 200m.”
Whether you are enjoying Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 or not, Epic Games has made huge changes to various aspects of its main Battle Royale mode and the introduction of its groundbreaking three new modes. One of which is LEGO Fortnite, which some players have claimed has “ruined” the Item Shop.
