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.

Or am I just stressing for nothing here EA and Activision are two separate companies. EA has nothing to do with COD. 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?

@jumanjaydazed Oh wow that sounds like a pain in the butt frankly.
What kind of repercussions is there if you get caught doing that? Assuming it's illegal if you're having to take such a long winded route lol.

Lolz so I just checked Apex’ twitter handle on their latest tweet (it was about last day Deja Loot in WE). Distribution of comments from what I’ve seen: 30% talking about being done with WE, bring on KC, 30% talking about hackers, SBMM, solo queue, 10% memes and 30% talking about Apex dead due to Warzone XD.

Don’t even wanna check IW’s twitter handle to see what the comments are like there xD

I used to play a lot of cod 4, I liked it back then but nah I moved on already from normal FPS game, warzone looks boring, it's just normal FPS with battle royale mode. It's not a competition for Apex. For shooter game, I'm playing Splatoon 2 and Apex right now, also waiting for Plan 8 (it looks exciting from the trailer, we'll see).

I honestly don't think there are any. Not sure tbh. It's just not readily available to play "publicly" at net bars etc. But gaming vpn's have it available to connect to servers of choice. US ping is over 160...Same as Apex really

Hmm, since Warzone is free to play, it will probably get infested with cheaters as well. TTK is faster there, so less chance to notice aimbots, camouflage is more important so wallhacking will be harder to detect as well. Maybe Apex will get a break from cheaters these days 🙂

So true. New hacks will be getting tested for sure! Do they use Battleeye? I Set up a new account. Going to wait to DL late tomorrow and see what the ping is like. I'm already maxed out in this event..soooo...hit up KC I guess🤔

@PretzelnutcakeNot into traditional FPS games. Games like Overwatch, Apex, and Star Wars BF2 I really enjoy (EWOKS!!!! THEY ADDED EWOKS!!!!)

All three games are really trash at balancing, and I like haracter based FPS games, where the charcter you choose can make an impact on your gameplay.

Normally I wouldn't care about anything to do with CoD, but I have been slowly getting bored of Apex, because of just one map, lack of solo, and just overall variation.
Since Warzone will be free, I will give it a try and see how it is.

@Koochi-Q I’m all for positive criticism, rants, and blowing off steam, but for the past 24 hrs, the apex sub reddit has been plagued with trolls posting with nothing but hatred and spite, wishing failure only because another BR will see light of day.

It’s weird to be honest, it’s weird that players will leash on to Apex despite all the issues they bring forward, yet to this day, they’ve been playing the game regardless. If anything, I wouldn’t be playing if I was miserable with said game.

Now that Warzone is coming out, they flock to reddit with pitchforks and torches, shouting die die die!
I knew the game had toxic players, but circumstances like these really bring out the bad in people.

@Gabrielmojo26 That bad huh? I could’ve imagined it. It’s not the Apex community. It’s disgruntled gamers. They got tired of their ‘voices not being hurt & respected’. They voice their complaints properly follow by slightly emotional preceeded by very emotional which leads up to toxic ‘shouting 2 be heard’.

Now that a new contender is present, they can be spiteful and voice their disdain with likeminded individuals thinking that they have a voice now.

It’s like (extreme situation so if someone doesn’t want to read, skip this entire paragraph) when someone is addicted to something but only has 1 supplier. That supplier of whatever you crave (cookies, milk, video games etc) gives out rubbish instead of the pure stuff but you’re powerless to do anything cause the supplier won’t listen. You just have to keep using it. But as soon as a new supplier comes along, even if you haven’t had your fix from him/her/it you already start talking smack to/about the old one. Same logic applies with this current situation.

So dont hold it against them. I believe a lot will be back again. BUT this is also a good thing. Respawn will see (they already knew it when the BR was leaked) their numbers go down and see the extra ‘hate’ and will try to make up for it. Thats what I truly believe.

We’ve seen it alot on these forums ourselves. People creating threads just to wish the failure, not even caring anymore about venting or proposing something to benefit the game... for days or weeks and when you say “just play another game” their answer is either one of pure ‘target located: fanboy here. Roast him/her’ or a continuation of the rant with no logic XD
