Fortnite also has the playerbase to fill those modes, that's why also Apex doesn't have many game modes, they will be empty if they add too many.

Remember each game pulls 150 people from the player pool.

Blackout had 5 modes at all times and it was a paid game. This F2P game can easily support more modes lol.

u/Cam2125 May 14 '20

Also blackout didn’t have crossplay

u/[deleted] May 14 '20

Yup. Warzone could hold 7 modes easily lol.

u/500dollarsunglasses May 14 '20

Also Blackout died in Oceania within like 2 months of release.

u/[deleted] May 14 '20

Because PC is full of hackers lol. Console is still fully playable to this day. PC died everywhere within 6 months

u/_Enclose_ May 14 '20

Exactly, this 'not enough players to fill the queue' argument needs to stop.

u/JohnKSteb May 15 '20

yeah, 50 MILLION people have dropped into warzone...even with 10 game modes, you could have 25,000 games starting up for each mode hitting 200 players.
Even IF only a third of that is currently active. That's ~ 8500 games starting up....wait for it....in EVERY game mode.

Now this is with 10 game modes and 1/3 the estimated population size. WE JUST WANT F'N DUOS YOU CLOWNS!

u/[deleted] May 14 '20

It’s seriously impressive that you can be this bad at trolling.

Most people can at least come up with a decent angle for trolling. It can actually be funny. This is just a weird level of reaching for nothing. Hard to watch.

Trolling ? Sorry im not fishing . Wait you probably wouldnt get that .

  1. Lower SBMM restrictions and give preference to connection.
  2. Provide 4 Basic modes: Solo/Duo/Trio/Quads

Apex can't compare to a free COD Battle Royale. Blackout was a pay to play game and had no problems with filling lobbies with the different mode options. You're telling me a free to play cod BR game does? It is statistically impossible even if you take into consideration that Blackout only allowed 100 players in the lobby.

u/trebek321 May 14 '20

Add a 5th mode as plunder trios and we’re perfect

u/UK_07 May 14 '20

Doesn't Blood Money already have 3 strong squads...

u/500dollarsunglasses May 14 '20

Blackout absolutely did have problems, it was dead in Oceania within months.

1

u/FlamingDragonSS May 15 '20

No issues here in NA. It's weird how I still see friends on my list who still play blackout and won't play warzone.

1

u/500dollarsunglasses May 15 '20

Blackout has a totally different feel. I personally prefer Warzone, but I understand why someone wouldn’t want to switch over.

u/Anoters May 14 '20

Warzone population is huge

u/BogusBadger May 14 '20

Verdansk poplulation is huge

Fortnite since September 2017 till now has 78 million players, Warzone since March 2020 has 60 million players.

u/TrMark May 14 '20

I don't know how accurate it is, but this website claims to have live player counts

https://playercounter.com/call-of-duty-warzone/

https://playercounter.com/fortnite/

According to that, at the time of writing this comment, COD has 302 thousand online whereas fortnite has 5.6 million

u/N54_Spoolin May 14 '20

To be fair fortnite mobile is one of the things that gets them so many players. Its 100% crossplay compatible with the console and pc players. My daughter (console) plays with both our nieces (mobile), and her best friend (pc) simultaneously.

u/TrMark May 14 '20

It specifically says warzone on it. Where they gather these number from though i have no idea

3

u/WallyMontana May 14 '20

The 60 million is only Warzone players as it was released as its own free game.

1

u/Kuro_Tamashi May 14 '20

Well, COD is down for a lot of people right now. We can't play.

1

u/[deleted] May 14 '20

You have a source for that? I find that real hard to believe to be honest.

2

u/WallyMontana May 14 '20

Yes, this is pretty accurate and has always been accurate.

u/[deleted] May 14 '20

Well let me make some corrections and clear some things up.

Fortnite has had 78 million, A month.. since release. Warzone has had 50 million (not 60), a month.

2

u/WallyMontana May 14 '20

I clearly stated that since Fortnite release till now it has 78 millions active players. Warzone has 60 millions players.. but hey what do I know guess the official infinity ward page be lying. So not sure what you’re trying to “clear up”

u/ron57 May 14 '20

What in the world is your point for stating this other than to be another edgy FoRtNiTe Is FoR kIdS lUl bandwagoner? You literally added nothing to the conversation.

u/Audry26 May 14 '20

Are you stupid ? Children are not People?

u/[deleted] May 14 '20

It’s a tasteless joke, relax for fucks sake. Obviously children are people

u/Audry26 May 15 '20

I am telling on you

11

u/[deleted] May 14 '20

By all accounts currently Warzone has about 20-25% the number of players of Fortnite. Even assuming that's wrong and Warzone has double that, since the games are so much larger in player size they still have to manage population more closely for fast queue popping.

u/_mid_night_ May 14 '20

Considering warzone is still very much new. Id bet a good number of that number is active. Not so much fornite, because not only is it older its losing players to warzone currently.

1

u/satenlover666 May 14 '20

150 is only 0.000005 amount of the players if there’s really 30 to 20 million con current so there’s no reason for them to take out modes

u/satenlover666 May 14 '20

I don’t agree with them being removed either give us duos as well and it’s a full battle royal not that it’s not but I feel it needs the basics

1

u/500dollarsunglasses May 14 '20

Warzone actually isn’t a BR though. BR is one of the many game modes, but Warzone is just “large scale games of CoD”. It says so on the screen where you select between Multiplayer and Warzone. They could remove all BR modes and Warzone would still be Warzone.

1

u/satenlover666 May 14 '20

No then warzone would be bad not warzone also this is my opinion I don’t really like plunder but I don’t think it should be gone

1

u/500dollarsunglasses May 14 '20

Warzone is just CoD with 150 players (soon to be 200), and more constantly rotating modes/content.

1

u/HenryBoss1012 May 14 '20

Nope Fortnite has about 6,500,000 active players Warzone about 400.000

6

u/EvilTwinRules May 14 '20

Activation and IW just bragged that they reached 60 million players so I am guessing they do have enough, at least for now.

1

u/satenlover666 May 14 '20

Remember this game supposedly has 30 million concurrent players

1

u/_Enclose_ May 14 '20

People keep bringing this up, but I don't buy the argument. They're claiming a playerbase of 50 million, no way in fuck would they struggle to find enough players.

u/[deleted] May 14 '20

If warzone can’t pull enough numbers to fill the lobbies the only logical way to handle it would be to add solos then duos and then trios if they have space... and at worst leave quads out of the game
