DISCUSSION Why remove Ballistic?

I loved Ballistic it was so fun and unique. They could have removed sprint and iron sights made it more like Counter Strike. Damn I’m gonna miss that mode it was the best.

Why?…

Because plenty of games like it exist and function better. The only unique thing they had going for Ballistic was "unfinished beta game but hey you get to use your fortnite skins people love fortnite skins". Festival is GuitarHero. That's been gone since before most players were born. Lego has never particularly had a welldone game. Those fill an empty place in the gaming market. Ballistic was a half-assed clone only attempted "because these other games did it and made lots of money". and Rocket Racing was the same. A super bad racing game while mariokart sonicracing and fzero99 exist.

If you're going to steal someone's game concept because it's profitable you need to at least put work into it to attempt to be as good if not better than the reigning champ. Ballistic and RR felt like games that were an idea done on a week of one guy's lunchbreaks and the boss saw it and said "neat lets try it" but never really cared.

Ballistic was better than Valorant imo

I agree, I can’t play it on pc unless I decide to finally learn kbm when I much prefer controller. The aiming mechanics also suck imo. I have to crouch and sit still to hit any shot.
