Adding Creative 2.0 to popular game Fortnite has been met with criticism from its longtime user base who believe that the feature has marred the game's charm. Moreover, it is believed to have resulted in the disappearance of favored classic Limited Time Modes (LTMs).
Although Fortnite provides various modes and maps in creative mode, these user-generated modes have experienced increasing criticism over time due to their reduced popularity among the game's original user base.
Creative 2.0 allows players to create their own maps and modes for community use and feedback via the in-game Unreal Editor. Still, despite the platform it provides for creativity, on August 21, many players voiced their grievances against the feature on social media, positing that "creative ruined Fortnite."
Call for Return of LTMs
The criticisms referenced the old LTMs that had been phased out by Fortnite creator Epic Games in favor of Creative 2.0. Many agreed with the negative critique against Creative 2.0, stating that it took focus away from the primary game. They advocated for LTMs created by professionals who understand the gaming community's needs.
The classic LTM feature offering players alternate game modes temporarily instead of the primary battle royale mode was a favorite amongst players. Many players have expressed that they now no longer utilize Creative Mode. Instead, most prefer to use the limited-time modes or opt to not play at all.
Others See Room For Both Modes
Some players, however, see a place for both Creative 2.0 and classic LTMs. They believe LTMs could return, co-existing with Creative 2.0, which provides fun when the right map is found.
Limited-time modes in Fortnite were extremely popular amongst players until the developers removed them in favor of Creative 2.0. Since then, Creative 2.0 has not seen the same level of popularity. However, it is unclear whether LTMs will make a return in Fortnite, but there is speculation that Epic is planning a return to tradition in different ways with the release of Season 4 Chapter 4 on August 25.
