Call of Duty publisher Activision is now demanding the removal of all Call of Duty-related content from Fortnite’s Creative mode. These takedown requests from the well-known video game company were seemingly made after a short clip of a Rust-inspired map recently made the rounds on social media.
Unfortunately, any designer that recreated a CoD-influenced game mode may be forced to comply since Activision do, in fact, own the content that’s being used for inspiration. This means that some of the most popular ones, such as the eerily similar clone entitled Frontlines and the previously mentioned Rust look-alike, will have to be taken down soon
Player reaction has predictably been negative after learning of Activision’s demand with some even mentioning that they’re “just mad that someone else can make it better since their games are flopping.” A few fans have even said that it’s “crazy how the Fortnite version is better than the original.”
Some optimistic users, on the other hand, believe that the Fortnite versions won’t be taken down since the assets and animations used are all originals from Epic Games. Sadly, this may not matter at all since most of the maps that were remade in Creative Mode are essentially clones from Call of Duty.
Since the Unreal Editor’s introduction into the game, several innovative maps and game modes have been made by the player base. This means that even if the popular battle royale does end up losing most of its CoD-themed offerings, the player base’s creativity will surely keep the community afloat for years to come.
After all, there are still plenty of IP’s to take inspiration from that creators could use to make the next big game mode in Fortnite. This time around, though, we do recommend staying away from any Activision-published game because you might just end up having to take it down.
