im actually okay with other games having a battle royale mode, granted they do something at least a little original with it. its a great concept.

tbf there's a difference between building a game with it in mind and shoving it into games where it just flat out doesn't belong as a cheap gimmick. It's like jet packs and wallrunning all over again - titanfall worked because the game was designed from the ground up to support that, and had the interplay of speedy mcfast gameplay with the slow and hulking Titans, while Call of Duty just slapped jet packs on an existing gameplay loop and didn't change the map design or game design philosophy accordingly to accomodate such a change.

Black Ops 4 and Battlefield 5 (if the leaks are true) having them is gonna be a clusterfuck because neither game was built for such a thing.

in the case of bo4 it will likely take the place of a traditional campaign.

replacing bad content with other content is okay

Hey if they mamage to cram it all in Ill be impressed.

You know Titanfall may have made for an interesting Battle Royale mode.

Batch is the mosquito that wakes you up at night that you spend 30 minutes trying to kill but it just disappears and then comes back somehow 10 minutes later.

i see what youre saying but battle royale is just a different game mode, not a gameplay or mechanical change. in the case of bo4 it will likely take the place of a traditional campaign.

If they made a Battle Royale mode with typical CoD gameplay mechanics, it would just be a camping-fest.

Yeah but the circle kind of eliminates that.  Otherwise youd have the same situation with all of them.

No because in battle royale, you have the incentive to move in order to get weapons, ammo, shields, materials, etc. CoD's gameplay completely mitigates this by having loadouts, regenerative health, two weapon slots, balanced weapons, etc. If they had typical BR maps with clusters of buildings and long stretches of fields, then people with long-range weapons would just get punished when they go to the buildings, and people with short-range weapons would get punished when they leave them. Also there's the fact that simply spotting someone first is usually the determining factor of who will win in a gunfight in CoD. The fact is these gameplay mechanics were specifically designed for these specific types of gameplay and they're not interchangeable.
