Activision officially announced their BR mode Warzone which releases tomorrow apparently and it's also F2P, considering EA funds both these titles if I'm not mistaken, would it mean a possible dip in funds and therefore content in Apex in the future? Or am I just stressing for nothing here

@BoaFang7 And yet you are here on their forums instead of moving on.

You're thinking about Battle field, that game is a EA title.yep your mistaken alright 🙂

@Pretzelnutcake Reddit has been plagued with these comments;Warzone dropping tomorrow, Apex is dead!Warzone coming out, bye Apex.Warzone I love you, Apex I hate you!I personally have no interest whatsoever in Warzone, and if that's the case, I take it many others probably feel the same.As the saying goes, If I had a penny for every time someone said apex is dying, I'd probably be vewy vewy rich by now.

@PretzelnutcakeI guess it depends how good it is and what the play is like. I won’t jump on the bandwagon right away. I’d have to learn the loot system, the speed of the game and a lot of other things.I have had PUBG longer than apex and only played 5-6 games in pubg. I just don’t want to spend months figuring out how to loot, which guns are good and all of that.the last COD was supposedly the death nail for Apex. I purchased it because friends said it was great, i was bored after 2-3 days.

I'm sure Respawn is very well aware of the competition. Some of the devs even worked at the competitors, so they know how they operate, what are their limitations, their strengths, etc..As for the future content of Apex, I'm not worried, Respawn has much more freedom because the game is set in a futuristic universe, revolving around the unique personalities and stories of the legends. CoD is more of a realistic military simulation, it can't get too creative.

So Warzone was just announced, what will this mean for Apex?

Well think it's exciting, not sure if it will blow up tho.
I don't really like the trailer but who knows, the gameplay might be alright.
Won't leave apex for it tho, the game has just what it needs for me.
But i can see a few players leaving us.

@Pretzelnutcake Sir, you must be put to rest for this most grievous of mistake Lolz I couldn’t even laugh... that’s how bad this mistake was XD.
It will definitely not be the end of Apex but believe you me... at least for this next week, alot of Apex players will be flocking towards Warzone. This is for 2 reasons:
1) A new high profile BR always attracts new crowds and people have been waiting for this BR since the release of Blackout (yes, for over a year).
2) This one has solo and duo’s (or at least the playtest that streamers could play did) as well as trio’s. So yea... nuff said with the first two...
Most of us who were on the bandwagon knew that it’d release tomorrow so no shocker there.
Now like was mentioned, lets see the apex twitter be filled with “apex is dead” just like what happend on the fortnite twitter when Apex was released and laugh

@Koochi-Q @RevenanT-G7 apologies for the boo boo on my part, I kinda remember EA and Activision being used in the same sentence more than a few times and ignorantly assumed they were partnered like Respawn and EA are without putting in any effort to actually fact check first.

Still hope they won't draw too many players away from this game though since so many are constantly crying about SBMM and the lack of modes, literally solo mode would be enough to sway a big chunk of the Apex community I think

@Pretzelnutcake Yea that’s why I said for 1 week. People will decide in that week if they want ‘realism BR’ (Warzone) or ‘over the top shenanigans BR’ (fortnite) or ‘fast paced in between BR’ (Apex)

Likely with how many are butthurt, a chunk of the solo criers will go towards modern warfare, but like Blackout, alot just want colorful graphics and face pacedness and without even playing it, thats not CoD BR... thats just CoD.

If funds = content was true for Apex in the first place we would have had solo's and duo's months ago.
I'm guessing Warzone will be pretty inconsequential.

No apologies needed 🙂
Only time will tell, I think Apex is going to be fine.
The haters are going to make it apparent that this game is dieing or COD is better then Apex because they have solo mode and duo's. The only thing that is going to be the same in CODMW and Apex legends is both games have SBMM in them.
Driftor has made one or two videos about CODs SBMM in CODMw
I think Apex will be fine, its always good to have more games to play so you don't get burnt out of the main game.
I might play a little of the Warzone after I finish the Apex battle pass since it's free, and may buy a skin or two. I know I wouldn't purchase a Season pass because I just don't like playing COD for long periods of time. Short spans inbetween Apex legend season's might be in store for me. Just not all the time and be heavly invested like I am in Apex legends.
