There being some kind of Call Of Duty Battle Royale has been a rumor for a few months now. Well, that rumor is actually a truth now as people in China are able to play Call Of Duty Battle Royale!
Call Of Duty Online is an exclusive COD game for the Chinese market and they are the ones who are getting the chance to test this early version of Call Of Duty Battle Royale. The idea is the same as PUBG and Fortnite, you want to be the last player standing and the match takes place on a map with a circle that is always moving inwards.
Unlike other Call Of Duty game modes, Call Of Duty Online Battle Royale sticks with the Battle Royale formula by not letting you pick weapons at the start of a match, you need to find them.
At the moment the matches are only for 18 players, but perhaps this is something that will be increased over time as Activision figures out all the kinks with the game. Also, you can actually pick your spawning point which is something that I find very interesting. One of the more unique features of this Battle Royale mode over Fortnite and PUBG is the presentation. There is an over the top announcer who is providing commentary when you take down an enemy. I am not sure what the point of this is, but it does work.
For the time being only those who are able to play Call Of Duty Online are able to play Call Of Duty Battle Royale. However, many folks (myself included) have a feeling that this will be a mode that is in the upcoming Call Of Duty Black Ops 4.
As I write this I am patiently waiting for today’s update to appear for Fortnite Battle Royale. Like the rest of the world, I have been well and truly hooked by Fortnite. I have really appreciated how good Epic have been when it comes to dropping regular updates and on the 11th of April (which is when I am writing this), a new update is about to drop.
Port-A-Fort is what has gotten me and many of you guys excited about this upcoming update. The Port-A-Fort from what I understand is a grenade like item. We have all been in the scenario where we are strolling along, feeling good about ourselves and then you come under fire. Before you can even build up some defenses you are dead!
Some folks are fantastic at the building aspect of Fortnite…. Some like me are not. When you use the Port-A-Fort grenade it will quickly create a structure for you. You can use this to hide, heal or just regroup. It is going to be the kind of thing that can really save your butt in a tight spot. I think it is going to be the kind of item that most people will keep on them for a whole game and in many cases never actually use it as many players may see this as an emergency item.
The video that Epic posted on their Twitter shows just how useful this can be, you are under attack, all is lost, but using the Port-A-Fort can give you that one last chance at getting out of whatever situation you are in!
