The comparison
After Call of Duty: Warzone at the beginning Apex Legends could easily beat, the numbers are "only" equal after a month. Because EA's shooter also hit the 50 million a month after its release. So the game is still very popular, but growth is slowing down a bit.
Things look a little worse on Twitch. Audience numbers continue to drop, and Warzone has been the sixth most watched game in the past seven days. This is despite the fact that it has the second most streaming hours in the same period. The numbers are still good here, but a certain decline in popularity can be seen.
What problems does Warzone have?
The recently started third season by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and thus also Warzone. With this came two new weapons into play, one of which is currently proving to be potentially overpowering. This is precisely why she is criticized by the community.
In addition, the Battle Royale shooter with quad mode increased the regular team size from three to four. This undertaking also met with little love, which caused the developer to row back and reactivate the trios. As a result, there is currently four different modes.
In addition, many players are increasingly complaining about hackers on social media. They criticize Activision for being do too little against the fraudsters. And this reduces the fun of the game for some users.
