Apex has a new competitor. Will they fix their game or fall to the competitor?

Not naming competitor here, but will say it's free to play on Steam.

More modern than futuristic.

Strikers (aka Legends/Agents) with passive and tactical abilities.

Vehicles and choppers.

Rocket Launchers.

Lets hope Apex stays ahead, yes?

95% of the problem is the cheaters and hackers. Take them out and the game should be fixed.

    @Zulkiers 

    "This game is over 50% undetected cheats, but it's obvious they are cheating."

    Nice statement, words are wind, where is your proof?

    Apex is not doing it's best, that I agree on. Could they do more versus cheaters I hope so.

    @Asmodeus566 The Finals also still a good game but way different than Apex as there's no BR mode. They're also tweaking the BP too much this season making it very hard to finish it unless you grind.

    But I still like the concept & they're keeping the lore very loose so it's not a big deal in the game nor will it stagnate like the lore in Apex has with several characters.

    IMO, if it isn't BR, it has no place in comparison to Apex. Therefore you make a good point.
    PubG and Fortnite lack characters with skillsets, so not good for comparison either.
    Similarly Battlefied 5 Firestorm, which is pretty dead, and lacks characters with skillsets.
    I think Modern Combat 5 tried something like Firestorm as well.

    Bloodstrike is the first one I've heard of that is actually similar to Apex. It's still in Early Access though. And is a China IP.

    @Zulkiers I think people compare Valorant (which I've never played) also. I didn't know about BF5. I was playing 2042 (which I enjoyed) but I currently don't have PS+ so I haven't played it since August.

    Was thinking about firing up the PS3 & playing BF3 1 last time before set shutdown the servers 🥲.

    @Asmodeus566The amount of xim and hardware-macro users is through the roof. I get why @Zulkiers is talking 50% , bcs its def way more than those 100K users they ban every month ... but i also get why Respawn focuses more on the Linux side :
    a) much easier to pull the plug on that one
    b) banning those Linux cheaters doesnt hurt the revenue much, but can be used to advertise an anticheat success.

    By not banning those cheat devices from the start, they are now in a position where they simply cant (we all know by now that controller players are the cash cow for Respawn) ...
    It would hurt the revenue even more, so they just swep it under the rug ... pretty much like they did with the overpowered aim assist : deny its even a thing until you cant hide it anymore

    Valorant may have characters with abilities, but it's not a Royale. It's just 5v5 (90% of modes) or 10 man solos in one of the modes.
    BF5's Firestorm is a royale, but literally no one plays it. They prefer operations and TDMs and such.
