Fortnite players claim Chapter 5 is too similar to Call of Duty
Epic Games / ActivisionFortnite players complained that Epic Games has moved away from the artstyle and gameplay that made Fortnite popular and that the game has become too much like Call of Duty.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 was released to massive praise from fans, and Epic Games expanded the game to include modes like LEGO Fortnite and Rocket Racing which players loved.
But hardcore fans of the original game mode, the Battle Royale, claimed that Epic Games moved away from what made the game successful in the first place – the “cartoony” artstyle and “crazy” guns and gameplay.
In a community social media post, loyal fans of Fortnite joined to complain about the Call of Duty-like direction they believed the developers had taken in Chapter 5 Season 1, and stated what things they would like to see return to the game.
ActivisionFortnite players want “crazy” gameplay back
In the original post, shared on Reddit, one player was confused about the changes made to Fortnite in Chapter 5 Season 1.
“Why is epic going away from the cartoony artstyle and gameplay?”
“One of the most unique things about Fortnite that separated them from the other top br games was the cartoony, vibrant artstyle pois and crazy kinda guns,” they continued. “I for one miss that and wish epic would go back to that instead of this boring, realistic cod/pubg stuff they’ve pushed in chapter 5”.
Other players agreed that they weren’t fans of the new “Call of Duty-esque” changes to Fortnite.
“They [Epic Games] really need to go back to being a cartoony fun game, give more wacky stuff.” Crazy features players wanted to return to the game were things like the Ballers and “the weird planes”.
Epic GamesDespite some complaints about Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 gameplay, the changes have still been seen as an overwhelming success for Epic Games.
