Launch Royale is stupid. How long till it's over?

why would i want to play a five year old map with only 10 selectable characters? where are the akimbo guns? why can't i chose my own map yet? every other battle royale game lets you choose your own ...

@huyness6 I guess I'm in the minority since I never got to play season 0 or the OG KC. It's interesting seeing all the original settings.

the map is poorly designed. there are giant swaths of land with no POI. on my third game i spent 10 minutes walking around with nothing happening. also you have to find a backpack, a helmet and a shield.

using a 5 year map is lazy game design. especially if your plan is to get new players to play. It's fine if you want to experience the OG game, but don't force everyone to play it, that's what I'm saying. they could have just made this a LTM.

@huyness6 There would be No Apex today without this map 😊

  I am shocked this replaced the regular BR mode. Booooo
  I was real excited for this OG return, but not at the cost of the regular BR. Why does Respawn continue to trade off, add and eliminate? Why can't they just leave modes alone when adding LTM's.
  Have solo, duos, trios available, stop removing the bread and butter for your short term modes!

    @ComicBookGuy2727 Yeah it's crazy to keep removing! Forcing the player base to a mode is ridiculous but more than 3days is insanity.
    
    Since bringing back nostalgia, why not have Solos was a missed mark imo. Also Arenas

I can definitely agree that normal trios should have remained an option, but...

"the map is poorly designed. there are giant swaths of land with no POI. on my third game i spent 10 minutes walking around with nothing happening. also you have to find a backpack, a helmet and a shield."

Most of the maps still have huge swaths of land between POIs. If you spend 10 minutes walking around with nothing happening it's because EVERYONE drops into skulltown and half the lobby is eliminated in the first minute of the match. That's on the players, not on the map. Come to think of it, players are still doing this today on any map you care to name. I admit that the dev does NOTHING to try to curb the behavior, but it's still on the players. And even now you still have to find a backpack and a helmet.
