How many maps and game modes does Fortnite have again?

The maps argument is weird to me. I don't really play online shooters anymore but I remember playing de_dust2 all day every day when I was a kid. And apparently it's still one of the most popular maps to this day and Counter Strike is still incredibly successful on Steam. So idk.

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

Yeah this isnt it.
343s version of Koth is terrible.

Also the graphics in the new cutscenes looked really rough and unfinished/downgraded.

 

[elliot5]

But I thought Jason Ronald lied to us?

 

[elliot5]

Catalyst is beautiful and seems well made. KOTH on it was fun

New season launch is blowing up on Twitch, hitting 8k viewers up from the usual 800

my cousin still plays this DOGSHIT game and just sent me the most hilarious, yet totally expected text...

THESE DOGSHIT FUCKING DEVELOPERS FORGOT TO TURN OFF SOME OF THE LEAVING PENALTIES FOR THE NEW LAST SPARTAN STANDING MODE!



I'm so happy that I uninstalled and now can just look, point and laugh at this fucking dogshit game

so basically, you can not exit the game after you are out of lives, because you will not get any progress for your challenges

this dev team is so fucking useless and shit it's actually pure comedy at this point,
I looked on Reddit an multiple people are uninstalling due to all the new bugs and the aforementioned issues with the new mode.

another thing I read is that you can sometimes spawn in an area where you are cut off from the rest of the map and would need to run out of the circle, which kills you, in order to get back in

OMFG like can you even believe the text!!

 

[SegaManAU]

Can't wait to play when I get home but 343 has really fucked this up. To think that season will go another 6 months which means we've basically only had two new maps for 12 months is appalling.

 

[ZehDon]

I look forward to playing once they've fixed the underlying technical issues that plague the game. By then, I expect the game will be feature and content complete.

 

[OverHeat]

That low resolution at 120fps on series X

 

[jorgejjvr]

Do we know what the narrative events are now?

Also, can you play with friends on last Spartan Standing?

 

[Complistic]

This is a great update. The game modes and maps are all really fun.

 

[Balducci30]

When it has co op I'll come back - assume a lot of shit will be fixed by then

 

[Batiman]

What's the best game mode to try the new map? I've played last Spartan standing one but I wanna try out the other one.

Youre probably the same guy pimping the Chun-li Fortnite costume on /v for the umpteenth time. I say to you, fellow shitposter and degenerate coomer, thank you for the butt shots in that thread, your medically fortified dedication and your gigachad IQ that evolved into next generation AI.

[Otre]

Let me adjust my cracker filter. Its my second language after all.

Oh good heavens sir, I have seen the exact type of communication on another, more rowdy forum. I believe, you were (for free) promoting an attractive virtual skin for the video game Fortnite. As a lover of the engrossed thighs, I appreciated the photography you shared with us gentlemen. It was quite salacious. The dedication you show is inhuman and I would not be surprised if medication was involved. Your high intelligence shows you are an alpha male that could indicate our species evolution into the futuristic metal beyond we are destined to.

 

[TheShocker]

You can quit out of the lone wolves mode once you're out of lives. The xp and pass progress just won't register until the match is done.

 

[Robb]

Played a couple of matches last night. Last Spartan Standing is pretty fun, but I think I prefer the team based modes more. I'm not a big fan of the weapon upgrade path thing.

It's fun to have some new stuff to unlock/work towards but I hope they can keep it going for 6 months, last season I unlocked everything fairly quick by just playing and then moved on.

 

[anthony2690]

Second victory on last Spartan standing, played 6 or 7 games now and really enjoying the game mode
It could do with more maps being playable on the mode though.
I still haven't seen the new arena map though

 

[Leyasu]

How many maps and game modes does Fortnite have again? Especially in the first year. The first trailer came out in 2011, the game came out in 2017. From what I recall there were 2 modes and barely any free customization.

What has fortnite got to do with halo?

 

[ResilientBanana]

What has fortnite got to do with halo?

They're both free to play

 

[Leyasu]

They're both free to play

If they were both br games then the comparison would be valid. As they are not though, there's nothing to compare accept entry price

 

[Codes 208]

Yeah i already hate the new mode. I was fine with it being live based, but the first two levels are absolute shit trying to get kills with while i keep getting back slapped while fighting two others at the same time. I decided to try the new rumble to try playing the sword grapple mode, nope! Got oddball twice in a fucking row! And frankly i hate that mode

The new btb map is also kinda meh. At least its not another timberland but it wasnt worth the wait. I think im going to uninstall this shit until they make major changes.

Halo 5. Halo fucking 5 is more fun than this.

 

[Codes 208]

They're both free to play

Fortnite was (and continues) to get frequent updates to the map though, keeping the gameflow from feeling stagnant. It doesnt matter if it only has like five modes, theyre atleast fun because it works.

This however isnt the same case, while epic updates fortnite essentially on a monthly basis with in-game events, live
Shows or map alterations with some actual gameplay changes per season 343 has so far been more content giving out a handful of content once in a blue moon. They delayed the first season to be six months and now theyre fucking doing it again with season 2.

Compared to fortnite, halo infinite as this "live service" title is an absolute farce.

 

[Ozriel]

wait, so you get the progress after a few minutes or what? either way that's fucking stupid.

Yes. You get progress when the round ends. That seems fine?

 

[anthony2690]

wait, so you get the progress after a few minutes or what? either way that's fucking stupid.

You get the progress when the match concludes, you can leave and play another game and the progress will come once the prior match concludes.

 

[Negotiator101]

This is a great update. The game modes and maps are all really fun.

Yes its a good update but not enough for 6 months work unfortunately.

 

[Banjo64]

Comparing Halo to Fortnite or Apex content wise is a complete waste of time anyway.

All of Halo's Arena maps combined are smaller than King's Canyon or Fortnite's initial map.

The player numbers don't lie and those 2 games are clearly keeping players engaged. They are doing something right.

 

[Complistic]

Yes its a good update but not enough for 6 months work unfortunately.

I agree completely.

 

[Riky]

Anyone managed to test if 120hz VRR is fixed yet?

 

[ManaByte]

Stop listening to warrior FUD on Twitter. It was a vsync bug that was fixed a long time ago. I play on 120 VRR every day without issues.

I'll try it out tonight

What are the narrative events?

 

[thatJohann]

Does anyone know if this update fixed these two issues?
- broken VRR on 120Hz
- elevated black levels on cutscenes

 

[Gavon West]

Ya fortnite is on a different level than any game when it comes to updates. But comparing the timeframe of release to now with infinite, It's comparable

Yes

VRR has been fixed for a long long time.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

The Last Spartan Standing game mode looks appealing.
I will have to boot up the box to check it out.

 

[clarky]

Decent update, wont last me six months but ill just continue to dip in and out. Not played for a couple of months and had a blast last night with a few pals.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Fired the MP up for the first time in months. Switched to the season 2 battle pass, tried the new mode twice. Left the match when I ran out of lives both times, since it tells you that you can, and it doesn't reward any progress to challenges. Is this a bug?

What a fucking shame this MP is.

it doesn't give you progress until the actual match has finished. Might have to wait a while if you suck and drop out early.

Comparable sure but i remember there being pretty differences between season 1 up to season 5 alone for fortnite which was a 15 month period. We've seen 343's roadmap which… Up until 12 months and it just comes off as very light in comparison, which when you think about how halo fans waited six years for infinite, makes it that much more disaapointing.

Sounds like you just suck! Own that shit bro.

Ah yes, the git gud approach. Thanks man, i guess i should go back to playing easier games like elden ring or something.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

Is there a way to do Last Spartan Standing in pairs?

 

[Codes 208]

If you mean like a 2v2v2 situation then no

 

[Riky]

VRR has been fixed for a long long time.

Yeah I've just tried it and it seems fine now, VRR counter was hitting 112fps at times but I could see nothing on screen.
Also had a quick look at the 30fps mode but I'd rather sacrifice some image quality for the framerate on an FPS.

 

[TheDrunkenMerchant]

No buffs to the Commando?

Bruh.

 

[SegaManAU]

Played last night for an hour with a friend. Was OK but honestly, this won't keep me playing until November. When are they going to allow us to turn off PC players?

 

[Rockman33]

I agree that it is disappointing there has only been 2 new maps in 6 months. Having said that…

First time booting it up in a couple months and it's such a blast to play. The core of the multiplayer is extremely well done IMO. Both the new maps seem to be pretty great so far in my limited play time.

I do hope they tinker with last man standing a bit. For example you should be able to pick what gun you upgrade. 1 on 1 at the end with the circle doesn't seem tested well. If you die, you spawn outside the circle and just get blasted on the way in.
