- Chapter 5 season 1 has many issues that I discuss in this video and an overarching theme of a deviation from the original feel of the game

"Cod clone, bro, we've got peter griffin and greek mythology
It aint a cod clone obviously it just seemed like fortnite was going for a much more dark and mature route last season especially with the shield and stuff, things that just dont seem like fortnite
@@ngl_raine1160 ngl the new scopes does feel alot like cod iirc (havent played cod in a while so might be remembering wrong)
Yeah also the collabs are a part of the reason the game feels less fortnite
@@ngl_raine1160bro did not play STW
@@ngl_raine1160 starting in chapter 3 fortnite has been slowly adding smaller stuff from warzone an early example would be basicly identical vert ziplines but when u look over the past 3 chapters u can see a lot of stolen stuff
The only part I'd genuinely disagree on in terms of the weapon pool is how short you sell the frenzy auto. I can't take a lootpool seriously where a mythic pump shotgun is less viable than a green frenzy auto. The slightest drop off in damage of the hammer pump at a short distance is heavily punished by spraying.
Are we just gonna ignore the fact this season didn't bring back reality augments AT ALL despite there being a tab in the collection screen for them...
There *was* a tab. I’m gonna miss these augments.
Finally someone has the same opinion as me on shockwaves. They are in every single season, have a million exploits, are way too easy to use, smash through all structures. They should be replaced with launchpads or bouncers I am so bored of them.
Launchpad thst you can carry were much more fair imo as they did not break builds, other players can use your pad and you can easily be shot out. But they won’t ever bring those back because that would involve using traps in modern fortnite 🙄
I wish mobility traps would come back. The whole reason they took traps out in the first place was because they weren't very skillful (which is true for the normal ones), but the mobility ones were skillful, as well as being balanced and fun.
@@shadowlander mobility traps are my favourite movement in the history of this game I don’t need no fancy kinetic blade
Don't get me wrong, I like my rocket ram, but it's only okay when I'm the one using it.
Just replace with impulse grenades. They involve much more skill
@@BloodfireSj7 I don't think those things survived power creep. The map is too hilly now for it too.
The reaper sniper shoudnt be able to have the short range scopes.
Only watched 3 videos(including this one) so far and you’ve perfectly explained what I dislike about the game.
I watched “epic hates OG fortnite” and perfectly explained how fortnite lost it’s identity and stuff. Ever since chapter 3 fortnite lost it’s identity. Look at all the different locations in chapter 1. Yes they reused assets from save the world but if you look at each location, they feel and look different. They don’t rely on good graphics unlike now where my game actually performs, consistently, below average meaning my game is framey and sometimes randomly freezes(could be bad connection though the freezes). You could show me a picture of a location in chapter 5 and I probably wont know which one it is. Chapter 1 had unqiue looking locations that used different colours. Everything now is just black/dark colours or white.
I also watched the fortnite has a quality over quantity mentality and 100% agree. Again since chapter 3, they’ve just kept adding reskins of old weapons with slight differences. We now have like 5 or 6 ARs that look practically the same. We even have 2 smgs(compact smg) that look practically the same and same goes for the pump and sawtooth shotguns. Go into creative and instead of finding innovative and new weapons you’ll find 20 ARs, 23 SMGs, 16 shotguns, etc… and I guarantee that atleast 2/3rds of each weapon type is practically just the same weapon. Only chapter 2 was the best when they switched chapters. Reset the weapon pool to the default then by the end of the chapter you have most of the original weapon pool but also a lot of weapons that aren’t just reskins.
Also I hate the attachment system since it just screws up the weapons. You have an AR? Well too bad you’ve got no optic meaning you’re already disadvantaged against people who got lucky. I’ve seen people say the attachment bench should stay as hard to get instead of making it like BO4 blackout where the attachments are found on the floor or chests and can much more easily get the attachments you want. It keeps the luck aspect but tones it down. Also the sniper is annoying. It practically removes the shotguns especially if you can a mod bench to take off the scope. Yes let’s go take off the sniper scope off a sniper to make it perform better then add a sniper scope to the SMG.
For me personally when I say I wish they returned to chapter 1. I mean I wish they went back to the ways they went with chapter 1. Yes I want them to make the game better, I just want them to go around making it better like how they did in chapter 1.
TL;DR
I watched a few of your videos and have perfectly explained my dislikes about current fortnite. Chapter 1 was the best time for the mentality fortnite had when updating the game. Look in creative and you’ll find practically the same gun 50 times. Attachment system screws up the balancing of weapons
I’m very new to Fortnite so this was basically my first season aside from OG (I only play ZB btw) And I already agree with you with item rotation people with Shockwave Grenades. I’ve played for only half a year and I already despise those things. Then again, I was one of those people who ran a sniper setup. The sniper wars at the ends of games were extremely nerve-wracking and I never liked how I had to run them, but there was a certain point at the end of the season where I was the *only* person carrying a sniper.
Also I had massive issues with the audio at Grand Glacier too, where people and AI had the same noises
The absolute biggest issue with fortnite right now is loss of identity. The boots-on-the-ground ready to rumble goofy aesthetic of earlier seasons and chapters is what made fortnite stand out and the loss of these components, especially in Battle Royale, creates an unfortunate homogeny in the locations and cosmetics. OG proved that people like and even prefer older mechanics and aesthetics. A combination of chapter 5 gunplay and building with a late chapter 1/early chapter 2 type map would be great. I personally find the lack of creativity when it comes to skins, locations, and weapons to be super discouraging when it comes to the future of the game. Didn’t now where to put this but another problem with the new locations is layout, they’re either almost completely flat or so disjointed that fighting is a one way street in which the winner is determined by whoever gets the jump of the other, on top of being aesthetically the exact same. The best location was probably hazy hillside, reminded me a lot of misty meadows.
Love your videos dude. Keep up the good work!
Complains about medallions but doesnt even mention the fact that they show your location
Great video man
I’m glad someone finally brought up how frustrating rotation items have been in this chaper
7:48 we love a good spelling mistake (nagging aside) love watching yo vids keep it up man you say a LOT of good points that not a lot of people bring up and if you were on the fortnite dev team you would do so well in reviving the game tbh
You don’t base a season off of competitive anymore?
Also you should Fr make a review on Chapter 2 Season 7, an honest fun season with fun items and vehicles like the Grab-A-Tron and UFOs
I’m so glad a video like this came out
yeah guys, no one ever shits on the new current chapter! such a unique take that i havent heard before this video came out
Little late for this one lol. Personally though, I really liked this season, it just got really boring. But the map, loot pool, and weapon attachments were all great.
You should also make a video talking about all the new modes.
tf u mean the animations are more alive? its the total opposite, it doesnt fit the characters, and it looks like my character is having a seizure when strafing from side side, can they just give us an option to use the old ones?
its a small thing but i main erisa and i use her daggers etc. the new movement got rid of her unique running with those daggers in favor of this hefty gross looking jog everyone uses, the theme i was going for just got yucked lmao😅😢
I loved the ninja turtle rotation weapons
Its because of the movement, as simple as that, the weapons as well
I use the mantling of the planks all the time.
It was okay, probably sitting around a 5.5/10, not terrible but far from the best
Shockwaves are horrendous like I can't even play a creative game without anyone spamming them and running away
At least they're limited in Battle Royale and Some players don't overuse them
I don't think Chapter 5 is the ultimate "Fall off" of Fortnite but some the Changes just weren't that good
What do you think of Chapter 5 Season 2?
I was running a sniper and item rotation
don't understand why so many people think chapter 4 was more "realistic" it was super cartoony especially in comparison to chapter 3 which muted the colors of chapter 2 a ton
higher fidelity =/= more realistic
Chapter 3 really didn’t have muted colours at all
Bad take
@@andraw4002 its not a take its a fact chapter 4 was not "realistic"
@@supremeleaderfrancisco9062 It was almost objectively more realistic than chapter 3. You're going nowhere with this.
@@andraw4002 you have never been outside
im a weird and annoying player of corse the sniper but with no scope a pistol a hammer pump and heals but during the tmnt colab I would bring in the mythics
Great season loved it . Been playing fortnite since chapter 1 season 4 so the game gets boring glad they change things up every chapter
Honestly, compared to the entirety of chapter 3 and 4, Chapter 5 has been some of my favorite times playing fortnite.
Tbh. Some could say it was worse than Chapter 2 Season 1. An incredibly long season with an advertisement event. (At least the guns and movement were better than Chapter 5 Season 1’s)
Personally, it’s fine but I personally prefer the more wacky items, the non-protective based weapons, and more.
I think that season was just fine. Far from worst, but far from best. This season; s2, was actually good, though the thunderbolt is annoying.
Still think chalter 5 is better than chaoter 4. I never played chalter 4 but i havent heard anything good about it. I stopped playing chapter 3 season 1 cuz i just wasnt feeling the new map and gameplay after chaoter 2. Returned for og and chaoter 1 has been good so far. Although i do agree with season 1s problems. Harder to get og weapons in the game cuz they are hit scan and snipers were sooo powerful and also the frenzy auto sas too powerful against the pump. Im glad the gate keeper shotgun seems to hold its own against it this season
fortnite takes itself too seriously now. Fortnite back in the day was a goofy cartoony shooter, and thats what made it fun. the thing that seperated it was its goofines. now with the new graphics and the new way weapons handle make it not feel like fortnite. Thats why the og season just felt better is because it was fortnite. It had fun weapons that were easy to use for all skill gaps, but now you have to aim train just to know how much to lead shots and such. plus i think the movement also takes away from the fun. THe mantling, tac spirnt and sliding, just doesnt feel like fortnite. It feels like everysingle other shooter. the only thing that makes fortnite stand out is its 3rd person.
He says the mythic nemesis is bad? What about the mythic SMG
SMG was way better
c5s1 was so fun tho
And nerf the damn frenzy and gatekeeper
👍
I quit in chapter 2 season 1 because the game felt more corporate from what the game used to be. When Fortnite OG came out, I came back after over about 4 years. I feel like the game has gotten a lot more corporate than chapter 1, but the new chapter feels like an entirely new game! Although the game is pretty money hungry (not as much as activision), I still play. The game used to be EXTREMELY glitchy and broken in chapter 1 compared to now. Imo it’s still the same game, just refined. The skins are soulless though. (yap sesh over)
how is it money hungry if it gives free skins? and also skins have no advantage
@@aecrah they give skins so new players join to get it then start playing the game and over time they might spend money on the game
@@fanafelgminecraft5789 yes? but it is not required to spend money and it is in no way pay to win? what is your point?
@@aecrah not my point im saying if they give skins there is a higher chance for someone who has not played the game to try the game out and they might keep playing the game and at some point spend money
@@fanafelgminecraft5789 yes that is true? but it is still a free game, nothing is required to be bought, of course they do want money to some extent because they are a company, and what would they be without money, but to say they are “money hungry” is a bit extreme. I would argue for quite the opposite, as it is one of the few free games, that give no advantage towards paid players.
then season 3 comes out
4:15 The TMNT mythics were a blessing for ranked ZB.
Hot take, but I feel like weapon modding took away a lot of potential with weapons and now the game requires far less skill. Before weapon modding guns were how they are and people had to adapt to how they worked. Now if you find a mod bench any gun is extremely op and nothing is unique anymore.
Yeah, I get what you’re saying, but to be able to get to the weapon bunker in the first place to mod it takes some skill (to fight the contesting players) and it really doesn’t make the weapon that much more broken
I enjoy weapon mods but tbh I think you're definitely right about them being less skill-rewarding. As strange as it might sound considering Epic's track record this might honestly be why their presence on the map is rather meager in an effort to reduce the amount of weapons that are too powerful.
Nah, it felt like fortnite because i was playing fortnite, fortnite is fortnite.
doesnt need to feel more.
It didn’t feel like Fortnite for sure but it was mid imo
The big issue in my opinion is that its very difficult to add the OG guns back now, since they are hitscan, and the chapter 5 guns arent. Also this might be an unpopular opinion but id rather have hitscan weapons that are actually fun rather than more annoying guns that have bullet travel time. The only good thing to come from bullet travel time are hacks being a little less powerful, but id rather have fun and be hacked on occasionally over almost never being hacked on but just not having fun anyway. (Also i will say i love the chapter 5 snipers theyre sooo good)
hitscan was so much more fun imo
@@fanafelgminecraft5789 yup, the only issue was hackers
@@favouredd ngl i have never seen one in game
@fanafelgminecraft5789 during season OG I played a kid who was doing tricks on a hoverboard and hitting only headshot AK shots while upside down, and it was the first game he ever played when I checked his tracker

i love fortnite!
What the fuck is a PIO?
wah wah wah
Is little timmy mad?
@@dddripz thats what im sayin we get these little idiots every season having a tantrum bc fortnite (a live service game) isnt the same as it was 7 years ago
@@tinmanne bro just made a video on your comment
@@notjayfrfr HAHAHAAAA HE DID
i think you're the crybaby here lil bro, you're bitching because some guy on youtube doesn't like a fortnite season you like
this title should be " explaining my skill issue "
Little Timmy didn't watch the video
🤓
the season is called “underground” of course it isn’t cartoony light and vibrant.
to be honest i feel like this season has more quantity over quality.
the change to projectile was horrendous.
the lootpool in general was dumb, movement sucks,
lego fortnite, rocket racing and festival died after 2 weeks, bad item shops,
hammer pump being dogsh*t, and auto frenzy is super op.
snipers are super broken, they almost requiere no skill.
the map was the most boring map we got, and imo this was the worst season of all time
i would rate this season 1/10.
Womp womp
people are too blinded by nostalgia, i think fortnite keeps getting better & better (we don't talk about item shop tho), it's kinda boring if they didn't add some new features like ( attachment, augments & medallions), you guys would get bored pretty quickly if fortnite was still og ( nothing new added in the game, no new weapons, no new mobility and so on)
The Game isn't getting better tho, br is actively getting worse, the weapons are all slopp.
@@Jakov-or7fpit’s called an opinion I don’t know if you have heard of it
Cry about it
Little Timmy is a little mad.
This season was the worst season oat

This season was bad
