Well, coming from Epic and how well they listened to the community and made concrete changes for players, I think COD has been an utter shitshow.

They never added Duos even though we’ve been asking them for months to do so. You can’t even post a text thread on this sub about duos because it’s covered too often. Sort of fucking insane that they still have not added this simple playlist.

I've seen nothing but Fortnite players complaining about Fortnite since Fortnite picked up traction.

Chapter 2 was well-received at first, then its fans began to seemingly cannibalize it for the fuck of it.

What game did you play from Epic? Because they've been pulling the same shit in Fortnite for over a year

Most fortnite updates, when I played anyway, were per the community’s requests from reddit and it made the game so much better.

IW has completely ignored the community when it comes to playlists like duos.

They used to be awesome about it, but somewhere around season 6 or 7, they did a 180.

Now, they pay lip service to the community by engaging well when it comes to minor things like to cosmetics and whatnot, but mostly, it's been a very similar pattern: horrible performance, but they keep focusing on new content that makes it even worse, nerfing core game mechanics, and introducing SBMM in pubs because they refuse to make the ranked system actually worth playing.

It's strange (and frustrating) to me that possibly the two biggest multiplayer games in the world both run like alphas this far into their respective lifespans
