It's hard to blame them. I assume there's never been an online console game that generates this kind of traffic.


agreed. multi-platform....I mean shite, it's pretty impressive what they have accomplished

I'm pretty sure some of the older COD titles generated higher concurrent numbers of players, but I'm sure they were much more prepared for that traffic than Epic ever could have been.

COD was the only thing I could think of that would even approach this in terms of console numbers. But every human I know with a console has Fortnite downloaded and most play it at least occasionally. And that's on top of the PC numbers. The whole 'free' thing makes it available to people that would never be interested in purchasing this type of game.

Not even close. Fortnite is the highest shooter ever besides this one Asian shooter you have never heard of.


CoD 1.1 mil (Black Ops)
Destiny 2 1.2 mil
PUBG 3.2 mil
Fortnite 3.4 mil
League Of Legends 7.5 mil

This was 2 months ago, It could have increased even more.

That’s PC and console together, though, yea?

Yes, same for CoD. CoD has never really been big on PC.

Man, this delay on the weapon switch is brutal, makes going from AR to shotty on someone charging you a death sentence, kinda bullshite honestly

Oh but I did unlock my John Wick skin this week, so gotta be happy about that

Just the 4 in that video. Don’t know why the kill counter didn’t work in replay mode (it worked in the 5min DVR I took)

Felt good to get that one. Tried solo squads all morning. Went 2nd, 30th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st. FINALLY. It was the one feat that kept eluding me in this game

Don’t see that happening lol. I think my highest is only 13

I’d need to find a SCAR and RPG in my first 2 chests and just play balls to the wall. Maybe when Tilted is gone and the mid-game isn’t fricked

My highest was 13 by mid game but got knocked out by lag and a stupid play on my part.

I find building 100% easier now with builder pro.

Yup. I have the occasional frickup in combat from lingering muscle memory, but it rocks

It took me about 3-4 hours of gameplay and I finally pretty much have it down.

I was a pretty clunky builder with the old system still, but I can straight lay down some walls and ramps with the new system.
