Honestly I feel there's a little more to it than just nostalgia. Something about the way it is designed feels so much more built around the gameplay loop and mechanics of base fortnite. Since the return of the classic map I have found myself looting chests, harvesting mats, and building to reach places a LOT more than I was in the previous chapters. In addition to that, I feel as though the steep sloped hills, narrow buildings, and big open fields present many more cases where building feels like a core part of defense, gaining high ground, etc. There are definite obvious good additions however, as things like the ziplines added to loot lake, and mantling make certain things way less of a pain in the butt. I would like to make it clear that I do enjoy things like the heist locations, cars, swimming, etc, but I also can wholeheartedly say that there is something to the simplicity and emphasis on scavenging and building that stands out and makes the OG map shine. I look forward to whatever fortnite has next, but in this moment, I will be playing the heck out of the classic map until it's gone.
the classic map felt more in tune with fortnite and its vibe cus it was more cartoonish and the gameplay was slow. the newer maps feel different because they are much smaller and more realistic instead of cartoonish which is the opposite of what the game was going for, so of course the og map feels different.
I thoroughly enjoyed the return of the OG map. I never got bored of it. I legitimately played Fortnite: OG every day, and not because of nostalgia, but because the mao is just better in my opinion. There is beauty in simplicity, and I feel like this fact gets ignored.
Mega City is nothing compared to tilted, it's so empty. Sure there's a lot of cool buildings but pretty much every single one of them didn't even have an inside.
0:53 because they're stuck in nostalgia and long for a time where they had fewer responsabilities, so they cope with the "Fortnite isn't good anymore" to make them feel good about themselves knowing they have been surpassed years ago and couldn't keep up with better players even if they tried.
I feel like battle royale game mode shouldnt be heavy on lore, i think it should remain for save the world ad thats it, the OG fortnite map had us playing constantly from season 1-7 and then the big changes happen and the player base remained but gradually decreased as the map was affected by more and more lore.
As an og player that’s been playing even once the it map went away I understand why because it was just simple like the new maps most the time feel like the are to much and season X is something we don’t talk about
another idea: make it so the fortnite birthday week/month has constantly switching stuff every couple days, so people who started playing later like in chapter 2 (including me) can also relive their memories
i know i am a year late, but i dont think its just nostalgia. as someone who didnt play chapter one aside from a few matches in season 6, i loved season og. The most fun I've ever had playing fortnite since chapter 2 season 4. The new og gamemode, i dont really enjoy as much because its season 1, the most barebones unbalanced season in fortnite history, but once we get to seasons 3 and 4 i doubt ill even touch chapter 6
I like the newer maps, although the Chapter 1 map had such a good layout. You had a good mix of biomes, and the only other great map like this was Chapter 3. Chapter 2 was aight (literally C2 S2 and C2 S7 were goated) idk the new maps are too big and complicated, and on the new maps I find 90% of the match is just walking and 5% fighting, and 5% looting, where as C1 map is like 40% walking 20% looting and 40% fighting.
this was a really good video, i can't stress because I started playing fn in chapter 1 season3, and I agree with everything you have said in this video. Well fucking done! :D
I actually wanted to play the modern Fortnite which is chapter 2 & 3 & 4 but I did stop at chapter 1 season 9 but I do say I like these new chapters map even tho I didn’t play it so yeah cool video.
I just think that that fortnite og missed the mark with every update. Yeah its because of a different time line but dam this has nothing on the actual og fortnite map.
I think the reason most of us think the OG map is better is because chapter 3 and 4 just got too goofy Like no I do not want to push goku in holly hedges
Yeah, the only problem I have with the map is the removal of big bertha, just why would you replace it with no sweat insurance, it wasn't even in that spot, nobody even notices this and you're the only one I heard from that has.
to me, this just sounds you being angry about most of the community having a fun time with the game, but after watching i see it was just clickbait. not only has this season risen the player count to levels never seen before, its also most likely inflated the bank account of epic, meaning higher quality updates later. everybody wins. season X was in a time where i can only assume the epic devs had a nice bowl of infinite free stupid juice, leading to damn near every POI having some lame ass gimmick, with added mech flavored toppings. it is the worse example of C1. i really like the idea of going back on fortnites past during the birthday event. even people who dont want to play on the c1 map can just do other things for the short while its there. anyways uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Mega city is not objectively better, the buildings are not even full and have like 2 stories. Just because they're bigger doesn't make them objectively better, same with ways to get atop them.
Why? It's not like they take anything away from the gameplay. Henchman add more nuance and challenge to the places they guard and friendly NPCs can be very helpful. If you don't like them, they're always in completely avoidable locations regardless.

Thats how ur supposed to play fortnite
Not fight npcs collect weapons. Open lockers to find mythics. Using collab op weapons ...
I love how Fortnite players can’t embrace new features and maps, and can’t let go of maps from years ago.

i like the new maps, but love the old graphics more. If they kept that cartoony feel with the new maps, that would be perfect imo
Yes
CH3 was the perfect balance.
Maybe CH2.
CH1 still looks a bit too shit lol.
nah the new graphics are so pretty, CH1 had a nice style, but its actual graphics and direction was by far the worse

The new maps are too complicated and too cartoony, while the old map is fit for simplicity which brings the party together and its simple but refined
could not have said it better
Complicated?

I just wish they would leave the old map as a separate game mode.
yes
yes
I don’t, though how much I would love it, it would remove the nostalgia factor.

*Objectively* the Chapter 4 map was better. But was it more fun?
chapter 4 map was pretty fun imo, ik its not everyones cup of tea. i think the map started out mid but got more fun overtime.
The OG Season removal is spot on.
If it's permanent, it stops being amazing.
