This Is Not "Call Of Duty", Make It "More Tactical", Less "Run & Gun"

This Is Not "Call Of Duty", Make It "More Tactical", Less "Run & Gun"

I understand that this is a "Battle Royale" type game, but even "Fortnite" has a viable defensive play,

often it is possible in "Fortnite" to wall off a down ally and revive him safely, the closest Apex Legends

has is "Gibraltar" which is useless due to his skill only blocking projectiles, not people or movement,

not to mention he has the slowest move speed and large hit box, it is impossible to play him properly...

There should be more than 1 viable way to play this game, currently everyone is just picking the high move speed characters

& using ping and FPS skills to spam rush kill in-your-face tactics with high fire rate SMG and shotguns now that you nerfed

the wingman pistol abit, which makes sense when the max move speed is so high and the sniper fire & handling rates are

so slow, but there should be more than 1 viable way to play this game, you are clearly doing it wrong...

I few simple changes that can make the gameplay much better, currently the 1st team in any 3 v 3 fight to have a person "downed"

almost always loses the battle eventually, everything else like FPS skills and gun quality being equal, this is cos there is no effective

"rescue mechanic" in the game, the 1st thing they teach you in military school is to "EXTRACT THE CASUALTY FROM THE KILL ZONE !!!!"

not "try to revive the downed teammate while giving the enemy a free target to shoot at", especially worse when the Medic-Lifeline does it

cos her glowing shield attracts even more attention & has the same problem of not being a physical barrier just like Gibraltar...

=========================================================================

I know there is the "crawling when downed thing", but a better way to do it is to allow ally teammates to drag the causality at a faster speed than they can crawl,

while healing their "downed health pool", giving a chance at risk reward for heading to cover, also when 2 of your teammates are downed, the only viable tactic is to hide,

but that gives the enemy time to resupply and regroup, there should be a commit suicide button for ally teammates who are already downed,

so that their banner can be swiftly collected by the lone survivor and rushed away from danger, this is possible with characters like "octane, pathfinder & wraith"

I have many more suggestions on how to improve Apex Legends gameplay, but for god's sakes just implement these few i have suggested above,
I can't be the only one who is sick and tired of "Call Of Duty" style gameplay on a "Battle Royale" game, which is supposed to be TACTICAL !!!

    Yeah but I won't need em when my enemy is dead. I just take their gear and meds and I'm good to go. 2 stacks of ammo is enough to finish em off.

    There should be a way to use tactics and strategy to compensate enemies better reflexes. Simple flash grenade can do this or some kind of Electronic warfare that can disable highlighting of targets for a few seconds. Active grenade as a trap in the loot box and the way to detect and disarm it also can make this game more tactical.

    I see that as everything there are those who agree with me & those who disagree,

    just be clear, i am not saying that there is currently NO-WAY to play non click-&-shoot rushing,

    i am saying that there are many simple additions that can be made to make the total number of

    such possibilities drastically more abundant (i like the new suggestion made of flash grenades too)

    for those who write on here with claims of using the limited current mechanics to outplay "shooters",

    honestly ask yourself what that percentage% actually amounts to, then you can understand this post's intention

    "possible but low % of success" vs "viable with consistently high % of success" isn't a fair comparison, just saying...

    i want apex to be less tactical and more like apex

    and i think apex would be faster than cod if you had a TDM mode

    but it even has problems with itself, there should not be a downed system and there should be better flow with looting and all that, they got the weapon upgrades and inventory somewhat improved on and then stopped there

    @frozen2banana 

    If you don't like a games core gameplay quit playing it they didn't usurp a series elements and replace them with another style of game for profit unlike Battlefield 3 or 4 where EA forced Dice to change the gameplay to inherit customers from other franchises, COD has a BattleRoyal mode it's not like APEX as Apex Performs on network smoothly in comparision of play  PUBG is filled with cheaters 24/7 and extremely buggy still, for the consideration of release the maturity of Apex its it's years ahead of the other 2 in so many ways and nowhere near as old How big is the team working on COD for blizzard doing those pointless updates which result in people exploiting or using a lagswitch constantly.

    Remove the free 2 play element lose 80% of the cheaters charge $5 - 10 for entry or limit it to those that have purchased games from EA before and are concerned about losing their ability to access online features.
