The heals being less is really awesome. Then end game isnt just a heal battle. The rarity of weaopns and low ammo count makes you change your tactic up. In new fortnite, everyone had the same 3 weapons.

I really don’t care if the map leaves (obviously I love this map still tho) but the way the guns are playing and the items in the game is what’s the biggest change that makes it feel the way I remember this game being. Even if we leave this map again, I really wanna see the pump and ar playstyle stay alive
Didn’t they also have zero build originally planned as a timed thing and made it permanent option when enough people played it? I feel like this is a similar scenario. Why not just keep it as an option. It got me playing again.
Oh, there's zero doubt. Zero. There are 2.5 years of loot pools and map changes to pull from. OG Fortnite would never get old, and even when or if it did, you could just bounce between OG and modern Fortnite, depending on what you're bored with.
I REALLY want them to keep it. I'm a relatively new player (started playing in like 2022) and I like the look of this map and the balance of the weapons. I'm not sniped constantly in game. I like that snipers are rare and health is too. Legendary weapons are so rare and precious. They could have it as a separate mode with players and open slots filled in by AI at the very least.
Snipers are rare? …you must be playing a different game .they’re more snipers in this map compared to the new and all this open field in the map don’t make it easy to run from them.
@@Radar1onee Unless the update that just happened changed it, I encountered almost zero snipers and I've been playing every night for two weeks. Maybe I'm in a lower SBMM than you, but hardly a snipe. Chapter 4's map, once they introduced that dumb heavy sniper , was constantly an annoying and dumb threat for me. I hated it. Very few people have sniped me in OG. I've been watching streamers too and they've been bemoaning the fact that they can't get their hands on a snipe. So, Idk. Maybe I'm just lucky without having snipers in the game. Plenty of scoped ARs, but not many snipes or hunting rifles.
found a sniper every game, Hunting rifle, suppress are really common. also dw you will love S9/X you will rather get sniped than deal with Mechs.@@Roset03
They won't keep it, but I hope they make the new season feel a lot more like the OG than the new seasons. The augments, the special weapons and movement items, the cars, all that. Just leave it simple, Make the map imitate this one more. The long range fights are great.
@@orhandalegendEpic enabled those creative warriors with loot pools and rotation that instantly closes the gap and makes every fight an up close affair. Sweats can't sweat as hard with this meta.
I don't see why they can't keep Fortnite OG, but I agree. I doubt they will, unfortunately. Just keeping the game more simple going forward is an "okay" option. I feel like Epic is doing this all intentionally. The end of Chapter 1 was a mess with rift zones, a cluttered loot pool, etc. Then people complained and the beginning of Chapter 2 was so simple that people got bored. Chapter 4 was like an entire Chapter of Season X. Now people want simplicity again. Fortnite will make a new map with a simple loot pool. People will be refreshed, but then get bored again. Then Epic will make Fortnite messy again. Rinse, repeat.
Totally agree. This loot pool is so awesome. What makes this map so great is the unnamed poi’s that all have so much character. None of the new maps they added have anything like House on the Hill, Armadillo, Motel, Gus, etc
A separate game mode would be dope. They could shuffle through all the seasons every week or two or something to keep the game fresh and alive while also having the new seasons and maps coming out. I think it’s a solid idea
I think a map rotation would be good, similar to how Apex has multiple maps that swap every 30 minutes or whatever. That way we still got the og map and then we can also still have the up to date map. I guess the issue would come down to the loot pool being the same for both.
Having og as its own game mode could definitely work. Just look at no builds when it was first introduced into the regular game. It became its own game mode a few weeks later because it was so loved.
Yea I think even more than the map, the loot is just better. Reminds me how rare finding guns were. Had a killer hunting rifle game sliding and sniping heads off, spent the rest of the day trying to find another but I only like the epic+ versions.
Maybe they will actually bring back old battle pass progression ontop of this. That would be peak. A game built on a foundation of exclusivity is a game built on the premise of a lack of accessibility.
100% agree! After chapter 1 ended I barley played and the game kept adding a lot of content, which was great but wasn't really my thing. I agree with Tim that this should stay as its own separate thing similar to Classic WOW. Everyone wins and you retain a lot of players. the numbers alone when OG dropped prove this is what people wanted. It would be great if they kept this and I appreciate that Tim used his platform to voice this!! GG's Tim keep up the great work.
I got back to Fortnite after many yeats because of this OG event. But also, coming back and seeing their updates kind of reminded me of why I left in the first place. The map, vehicles, and items getting updated every single week, as well as unnecessary updates like the age restricted items, are annoying.
This season feels so much better than the game has in so long. I played all the way through chapter 2 and then all the random shit in the game just ended up being way too much. The simplicity makes the game feel wayyyyy more rewarding
Realistically changing the game back is going to drive away the returning og players, and keeping it og is going to sour the players that prefer that. They either need to find a middle ground, or keep og as a permanent mode. If they have the map just cycle and change each month, as this season has been, thatd be super sick.
I think a better option, rather than keeping it a permanent mode, would be to add OG maps/loot pools to a rotation, similar to how Apex maps rotate every hour or so. IMO it would keep the gameplay fresh and constantly changing while letting people enjoy both OG and the current maps/loot without splitting up the playerbase more than it is and introducing even more bots to fill lobbies.
Nothing against your idea, but bots aren't used to fill out lobbies. There are more players on Fortnite than any other online game. They don't really need the bots. I'd say the bots are used more for giving people some easy elims to counter all the sweating they have to do with SBMM. It gives the illusion of a diverse lobby.
I started playing for the first time last week and I've had an absolute blast! Would LOVE for them to keep OG as an option, but I'll keep playing no matter what at this point.
I haven't had this much fun with fortnite since the old days of mid chapter 1. The OG map and guns combined with the added movement of sprinting, mantling, and grapplers truely makes it one of the best Fortnite experiences I've had.
I whole heartedly agree, its like they're asking to lose all the players they just got back. They've got to keep it at this point, make it a separate game-mode or let us pick the map we're playing on and make separate lobbies for those game-modes. I understand its probably a lot easier said than done but like i said, they're asking to lose players

The best thing about OG Fortnite rn which they should atleast keep for future seasons is the feeling of rarity in loot. A gold gun in this season actually feels like you have an advantage for having a gold gun
what i think would be a really cool idea is that once a week, or month, the seasons rotate. Starting with season one, and ending with season X, then back to one. Who thinks this is cool?
agreed, definitely should keep it as an option. perfect for both worlds at the same time, and will have more and more gain of audience throughout the years
Full agree. Kept the standard, constantly evolving map as the core game, with an OG map option as an additional game mode, kinda like how no-build became a mainstay as well
The OG game felt so much better, up until this week's update, where they added in treasure maps, and now everyone has scars, and a spaz every game. Part of what was fun in the old game was getting lucky, and rolling a lucky high tier weapon from a chest. Modern Fortnite lets you just upgrade everything with gold there's usually exploits to easily speed farm, killing a lot of the special feeling you got from finding these things.
You know Tim I've been watching you since OG and I wanna say you're one of the most down to earth amazing individuals on this planet and if I could sit down have a beer and watch the cowboys lose with anyone it would be you. Have a blessed day brother!
I could see OG fortnite possibly working like Salmon Run in splatoon 2, each season having its own time of the week, or own week on rotation so people can experience their fav version of OG
@@MovieGuy919 you're only saying this because you'd rather have all the op marvel/anime shit that oneshot and ruin the game, stop talking. It's far better and the playercount shows that
One thing about the modern Fortnite before the OG season that I didn’t really like, was that the environment and vast majority of weapons available was overwhelming to me at some extent
I like the weapons in OG Fortnite, but I wouldn't mind new maps. The nostalgia will wear off soon for this map. But the weapons and Loot pool really are perfect.
kinda hard to keep it as a game mode, that will totally move the whole playerbase to og mode only, i think is better to take some notes from this and start making changes to the next chapter/season
Just like Tim said, it needs be to simple, either keep OG Fortnite forever or make simple seasons like they were in the past while ALSO keeping OG Fortnite as a gamemode! And in the “OG Chapter 1” mode they should switch the seasons up from season 1 to season X every 2 to 3 months, just like normal seasons! I don’t see why Epic wouldn’t do this.
One of the reasons this season feels so special is that it is temporary, I don’t want it to come back because then it simply won’t be special anymore, savor the time you have with the old map and make some new memories you can look back on
tim i wanna go back 6 years ago, when i was 11, landing in tilted and no one having a clue what was going on, we had were all set when we had an ar double pump and a bolt, and 200 wood. i got destroyed but i have so many memories.
I think OG chapter 1 should genuinely stay in this form, its a game mode called Chapter 1 where the maps they choose are rotated and the loot pools are rotated with their maps as well.
It makes the most sense from a financial standpoint to keep OG as a gamemode. They will retain all the players that came back to the game, and everyone that doesn't like the Chapter 1 map can move on to Chapter 5 like normal
Would love for OG Fortnite to stay as a separate game mode. It's such a change of pace to where the game was at before they brought it back, and super refreshing if you've got the chance to go back to it.
this is what my friends and i have been saying since they released the season, it definitely needs to remain as its own modes building and no buiilds on top of what the new normal map will be next season because og fortnite just hits sometimes and it would be great to just jump into it if you feel like it
I understand where you're coming from but I feel I should share my experience as an Australian playing this game. The release of Zero Build has already split the community and made finding matches a lot harder, it's too often that my lobbies are entirely bots, and that's even with the current popularity of OG Fortnite. Keeping this as a separate mode is going to make this even worse for us, as well as any other regions that struggle with player population. The best case scenario for both sides and what I would like to see, is to let them continue with season 5 as planned, but they need to try and stick as close to their roots as possible, keep the things in the game that we loved, just to list a few; proper rarity, simple loot pools and classic weapons. I want to see updates to this game but I want the magic to still remain. I think they can do it, and I don't think they need to keep the OG game mode in Fortnite in order to do so. I don't think purely nostalgia alone is enough of a reason to split the player base so heavily, they can still make this a game that people love.
I feel like a lot of what makes being on the old map so good is the nostalgia but also the limited time we’re there. We were originally on that map for like a LONG time especially compared to other seasons. I think if it was a permanent game-mode it would stop feeling special, and I also don’t think epicgames wants their playerbase divided that much going into chapter 5. But an LTM could work great, for just like one or two months toward the end of each year, that way they can still have hype around all the new stuff but keep the magic of OG fortnite alive. I agree though the current loot pool simplicity is golden, they should take notes from ch1 and stop messing around feeling like they need to fundamentally be changing shotguns, smgs, ars and scoped weapons every few weeks
i agree ive even said they should do something like WoW where they have a retail version that changes and gets new things while theres a version that keeps older mechanics or items
I agree!!! It should stay the feel of OG FN with the QoL changes just feels right and the feeling I got when I assembled the old squad made me love the game again
I love og Fortnite. It’s definitely cool. It brought me back to the game after 3 years of not playing it. The old map is cool, but honestly I don’t mind doing different maps if they just keep it as simple as what OG Fortnite was. They don’t have to keep the same guns but keep them simple.
They need to keep it a gamemode, that would be sick. They did that with zero build. It was never meant to be a gamemode, just part of the story, but everyone liked it so much so they kept it as a gamemode. They should do that with og fortnite.
Haven’t played last 2 years besides downloading it, hating it, uninstalling again. Since OG Fortnite came back I’ve played nightly with my old boys it’s the best thing ever
3:04 oh, there is the issue. Why is it? People always pointed out not everybody has the same loot. It’s not that big a deal you can get kills with green weapons with blue weapons. But the old people here they need, their gold weapons to be rare, and only for them.
I really hope they keep OG fortnite. It would be so fun. If they had a separate game mode go through season 1-10 and keeps resetting or keeping it at season 5. I hope they do
I stopped playing fortnite a long time ago and with the og fornite and the no build lobbys i decided to give it a try again and i love it. It would be really awesome if they kept it because it brought me back to the game
When you are the only one with a rare gun, you have an advantage. It's not a balanced, equal opportunity. When rare guns can be found by the majority of people, it is a skill based game therefore it is equal and balanced. I can see why noobs who aren't good at the game want rare guns to be rare. They need an advantage over skilled players. Hence Tim is not a skilled fortnite player. He's just good at content creating for entertainment.
Im playing Fortnite like a summer fling. It’s hot and awesome but you know it won’t last. Enjoying it while you can. A game mode like that doesn’t stay tied down for long.
Yes I’ve been saying this it could be nice as a game mode and if players ever get tired of playing the current fortnite they can always hop in match on og fortnite
The loot pool is what makes it fun. TTK is better. The old map you had to land and get a vault to have a chance. Or buy exotics. I switched to fortnight from COD because the fighting is more enjoyable. When it takes a while to kill someone it’s rewarding. 1 pumps or snipers everywhere ruins it.
Nothing would be more beneficial for the game of Fortnite, short term and long term, than to keep OG Fortnite as a game mode. The numbers it's pulling now, and the numbers it can continue to bring in the future. It would be quite dumb of Epic to get rid of it. They can keep it as a seperate game mode, give us weekly updates like they used to loot pool (vault and unvault), map changes (alternative POI's from CH1 and CH2) etc. I really hope they do keep it, but not expecting them to tbh
i think they should keep it, but as a separate game mode of course. Make it have its own battle pass that players will have to purchase separately from the main one. This way players stay happy and engaged in the game and epic can make even more money
honestly it was very refreshing to go back to the good old times of fortnite with its own little mix of new fortnite. i've been having a lot more fun on fort now then i have in a very long time. Hopefully they keep it as a game mode if nothing else... but we can only hope.
The OG loot pool is so much better. All the random mobility and special items ruin the game massively. Rifts and grapple hooks are plenty enough movement
I stopped playing Fortnite 3 months ago because it became to complex with augments, gold, etc. I like a grab it and shoot battle royal. Please keep OG Fortnite as a game mode. I even started watching Fortnite UA-cam videos and streamers again.
I didn't start playing until chapter 2. The OG map is just ok in my opinion but I will say this OG Fortnite is great. I'm enjoying heals needing to be prioritized and not everyone having purple and gold weapons.
The map allows for so much more third party opportunities in my opinion which is one of the most exciting aspects of the game! Keep OG! My dream is they force old settings like when you had to switch to the style of build before putting it down, so box fights don’t happen as often and fortresses come back!
I’m sure this is the most people that have played the game in a while bc they brought back the people that just didn’t think it was that fun anymore (like me) and showed us stuff that we remembered playing years ago and brought back memories that we had back then, and that it can be fun again
The thing I want from all of this is to see Nick, Tyler, the 2x and Fatso all playing together more often and if that comes from OG Fortnite then KEEP THE GAMEMODE
Keeeping it a separate game mode is a good idea, everyone wins, and the player base is big enough to spread the players out among modes
Though but Fortnite is quite full of bot lobbies these days ,they should keep it but with the new unreal engine not with the version we have right now
wdym everyone wins? there will be even more bot lobbies because the playerbase is so divided

Part of what was fun in the old game was getting lucky, and rolling a lucky high tier weapon from a chest. Modern Fortnite lets you just upgrade everything with gold there's usually exploits to easily speed farm, killing a lot of the special feeling you got from finding these things.
Thats a fantastic idea ! Make it no different than all the other game modes we have to choose from
Man if they kept it a game mode, best of both worlds tbh
You know Tim I've been watching you since OG and I wanna say you're one of the most down to earth amazing individuals on this planet and if I could sit down have a beer and watch the cowboys lose with anyone it would be you. Have a blessed day brother!
I could see OG fortnite possibly working like Salmon Run in splatoon 2, each season having its own time of the week, or own week on rotation so people can experience their fav version of OG
Never played og till now. But it's definitely better and that's facts. Love the videos bro. Always get me through any day❤. Fellow Floridan heree😂
It’s not better
@@MovieGuy919 you're only saying this because you'd rather have all the op marvel/anime shit that oneshot and ruin the game, stop talking. It's far better and the playercount shows that
@@MovieGuy919it's by far better I stopped playing for ages I've not played in over a chapter because of the shit that was in the game
@@IsakaReactsplayers couldnt adapt. Thats why they want og fortnite😂
One thing about the modern Fortnite before the OG season that I didn’t really like, was that the environment and vast majority of weapons available was overwhelming to me at some extent
Yes Tim! And I’m not only agreeing with this because of your stellar performance on the course!
I like the weapons in OG Fortnite, but I wouldn't mind new maps. The nostalgia will wear off soon for this map. But the weapons and Loot pool really are perfect.
First
You fr were the first, good job dude
Im first
Make first great again
kinda hard to keep it as a game mode, that will totally move the whole playerbase to og mode only, i think is better to take some notes from this and start making changes to the next chapter/season
Just like Tim said, it needs be to simple, either keep OG Fortnite forever or make simple seasons like they were in the past while ALSO keeping OG Fortnite as a gamemode! And in the “OG Chapter 1” mode they should switch the seasons up from season 1 to season X every 2 to 3 months, just like normal seasons! I don’t see why Epic wouldn’t do this.
OG Fortnite literally made a bunch of players come back. They take it away & so all the players.
OG fortnite brought me back, i stopped playing season 3-4, been having a great time with the OG homies, but once it's gone, I'll go back to tarkov.
One of the reasons this season feels so special is that it is temporary, I don’t want it to come back because then it simply won’t be special anymore, savor the time you have with the old map and make some new memories you can look back on
They should definitely keep OG Fortnite
I think we all agree, we all want OG fortnite to stay. Not played this in almost 4 years. Now I'm hooked!
tim i wanna go back 6 years ago, when i was 11, landing in tilted and no one having a clue what was going on, we had were all set when we had an ar double pump and a bolt, and 200 wood. i got destroyed but i have so many memories.
I think OG chapter 1 should genuinely stay in this form, its a game mode called Chapter 1 where the maps they choose are rotated and the loot pools are rotated with their maps as well.
It makes the most sense from a financial standpoint to keep OG as a gamemode. They will retain all the players that came back to the game, and everyone that doesn't like the Chapter 1 map can move on to Chapter 5 like normal
they should really keep it as a seperate game mode its really fun and i miss the old days
Would love for OG Fortnite to stay as a separate game mode. It's such a change of pace to where the game was at before they brought it back, and super refreshing if you've got the chance to go back to it.
this is what my friends and i have been saying since they released the season, it definitely needs to remain as its own modes building and no buiilds on top of what the new normal map will be next season because og fortnite just hits sometimes and it would be great to just jump into it if you feel like it
I feel like you can have fun with the og map. It’s not as gimmicky. I spent a whole game on a hover board, I loved it.
2:09 what a legend! That was something special
Im a new player who started in chapter 3 and im enjoying OG fortnite more than other seasons so it is not just nostalgia
I understand where you're coming from but I feel I should share my experience as an Australian playing this game. The release of Zero Build has already split the community and made finding matches a lot harder, it's too often that my lobbies are entirely bots, and that's even with the current popularity of OG Fortnite. Keeping this as a separate mode is going to make this even worse for us, as well as any other regions that struggle with player population.
The best case scenario for both sides and what I would like to see, is to let them continue with season 5 as planned, but they need to try and stick as close to their roots as possible, keep the things in the game that we loved, just to list a few; proper rarity, simple loot pools and classic weapons. I want to see updates to this game but I want the magic to still remain. I think they can do it, and I don't think they need to keep the OG game mode in Fortnite in order to do so. I don't think purely nostalgia alone is enough of a reason to split the player base so heavily, they can still make this a game that people love.
I feel like a lot of what makes being on the old map so good is the nostalgia but also the limited time we’re there. We were originally on that map for like a LONG time especially compared to other seasons. I think if it was a permanent game-mode it would stop feeling special, and I also don’t think epicgames wants their playerbase divided that much going into chapter 5. But an LTM could work great, for just like one or two months toward the end of each year, that way they can still have hype around all the new stuff but keep the magic of OG fortnite alive. I agree though the current loot pool simplicity is golden, they should take notes from ch1 and stop messing around feeling like they need to fundamentally be changing shotguns, smgs, ars and scoped weapons every few weeks
i agree ive even said they should do something like WoW where they have a retail version that changes and gets new things while theres a version that keeps older mechanics or items
I agree!!! It should stay the feel of OG FN with the QoL changes just feels right and the feeling I got when I assembled the old squad made me love the game again
I love og Fortnite. It’s definitely cool. It brought me back to the game after 3 years of not playing it. The old map is cool, but honestly I don’t mind doing different maps if they just keep it as simple as what OG Fortnite was. They don’t have to keep the same guns but keep them simple.
They need to keep it a gamemode, that would be sick. They did that with zero build. It was never meant to be a gamemode, just part of the story, but everyone liked it so much so they kept it as a gamemode. They should do that with og fortnite.
I absolutely want this to stay, can’t see myself playing much when or if it goes. PLEASE KEEP OG FORTNITE as an option. We want it
KEEP OG MAP WITH WEEKLY UPDATES PLS
Haven’t played last 2 years besides downloading it, hating it, uninstalling again. Since OG Fortnite came back I’ve played nightly with my old boys it’s the best thing ever
I like og but I liked last season too. I think just keeping it a game mode is a pretty good solution as long as it does not lead to more bots.
3:04 oh, there is the issue. Why is it? People always pointed out not everybody has the same loot. It’s not that big a deal you can get kills with green weapons with blue weapons. But the old people here they need, their gold weapons to be rare, and only for them.
I really hope they keep OG fortnite. It would be so fun. If they had a separate game mode go through season 1-10 and keeps resetting or keeping it at season 5. I hope they do
Could do what COD did with resurgence maps. Do a rotation of the 2 maps both OG and New maps every 15 minutes or every 30 minutes
This Season has brought back so many people and for good reason, it's OG but it's also simple. which is what made the beautiful in the beginning .
I stopped playing fortnite a long time ago and with the og fornite and the no build lobbys i decided to give it a try again and i love it. It would be really awesome if they kept it because it brought me back to the game
It is the first time I have played Fortnite solely because it went back to the OG ways. Love playing the game now.
it honestly seems not just possible but practical and easily done. however i know virtually nothing (lol) about making video games, just plaing them.
would be a solid move
When you are the only one with a rare gun, you have an advantage. It's not a balanced, equal opportunity. When rare guns can be found by the majority of people, it is a skill based game therefore it is equal and balanced.
I can see why noobs who aren't good at the game want rare guns to be rare. They need an advantage over skilled players. Hence Tim is not a skilled fortnite player.
He's just good at content creating for entertainment.
Im playing Fortnite like a summer fling. It’s hot and awesome but you know it won’t last. Enjoying it while you can. A game mode like that doesn’t stay tied down for long.
OG fortnite is the only reason I’m playing this game right now, if they kept it around more than likely I’d keep playing
Yes I’ve been saying this it could be nice as a game mode and if players ever get tired of playing the current fortnite they can always hop in match on og fortnite
The loot pool is what makes it fun. TTK is better. The old map you had to land and get a vault to have a chance. Or buy exotics. I switched to fortnight from COD because the fighting is more enjoyable. When it takes a while to kill someone it’s rewarding. 1 pumps or snipers everywhere ruins it.
Nothing would be more beneficial for the game of Fortnite, short term and long term, than to keep OG Fortnite as a game mode. The numbers it's pulling now, and the numbers it can continue to bring in the future. It would be quite dumb of Epic to get rid of it. They can keep it as a seperate game mode, give us weekly updates like they used to loot pool (vault and unvault), map changes (alternative POI's from CH1 and CH2) etc. I really hope they do keep it, but not expecting them to tbh
Apex has a great concept of rotating the maps, I don’t see why Fortnite can’t do the same thing
i think they should keep it, but as a separate game mode of course. Make it have its own battle pass that players will have to purchase separately from the main one. This way players stay happy and engaged in the game and epic can make even more money
honestly it was very refreshing to go back to the good old times of fortnite with its own little mix of new fortnite. i've been having a lot more fun on fort now then i have in a very long time. Hopefully they keep it as a game mode if nothing else... but we can only hope.
The OG loot pool is so much better. All the random mobility and special items ruin the game massively. Rifts and grapple hooks are plenty enough movement
I stopped playing Fortnite 3 months ago because it became to complex with augments, gold, etc. I like a grab it and shoot battle royal. Please keep OG Fortnite as a game mode. I even started watching Fortnite UA-cam videos and streamers again.
I didn't start playing until chapter 2. The OG map is just ok in my opinion but I will say this OG Fortnite is great. I'm enjoying heals needing to be prioritized and not everyone having purple and gold weapons.
I’m thinking if they keep it they can make the map change weekly like different og seasons each week for the map
The map allows for so much more third party opportunities in my opinion which is one of the most exciting aspects of the game! Keep OG! My dream is they force old settings like when you had to switch to the style of build before putting it down, so box fights don’t happen as often and fortresses come back!
I’m sure this is the most people that have played the game in a while bc they brought back the people that just didn’t think it was that fun anymore (like me) and showed us stuff that we remembered playing years ago and brought back memories that we had back then, and that it can be fun again
I want the game to keep progressing. It would be cool if they had a separate game mode for og fortnite and every past season
Ninja is definitely zesty
I haven’t played in more than 3 years. I love the game now. It feels so natural to me. Please keep this
Season 2-5 Random shuffled maps rotation would be lit
The thing I want from all of this is to see Nick, Tyler, the 2x and Fatso all playing together more often and if that comes from OG Fortnite then KEEP THE GAMEMODE
I'm a C.O.D. player since COD4 and I can say OG Fortnite needs to stay.
got me to come back with OG Fortnite being out. Haven’t played in ages and it’s more fun than ever
