There is no denying thatCounter-Strike 2failed to have the intended impact, resulting in a game that is little more thanCounter-Strike: Global Offensivewith some more bugs, bells, and whistles.
The power vacuum left behind by theCounter-Strikeflop is unprecedented, and as usual, it is Epic Games that tries to maneuver toexploit the situation.
TheFortniteTeam revealed today that is releasingFortnite Ballisticon December 11. This is a first-person, 5v5 mode forFortnitethat looks like a cartoonishCounter-Strikecompetitor, but it could well work out.
What Is Coming December 11?
Fortnite Ballisticis coming out pretty barren, but Epic insists this is on purpose.
The early access version will haveone map, Skyline 10, which depicts a built-up urban area inspired by East Asian suburbia.

Battlestate Games is refusing to backdown on the controversial $250 ‘Unheard’ edition.
The weapon selection will have a mix of assault rifles, shotguns, submachine guns, sniper rifles, pistols, and different grenade types.
Most of the guns previewed by the Fortnite team are justreskins of the regular weaponspresent inFortnite Battle Royale.
According to the announcement,the idea is to getBallisticout, and then make new additionsbased on player feedback.
What Are The Fortnite Ballistic Game Modes?
In a totally-not-Counter-Strike-copy way,Fortnite Ballisticwill have the teams playing attacker and defender, swapping sides every 6 rounds. The first team to reach 7 wins takes the match.
The attacking team’s goal is to take a Rift Point Device (which is definitely not theCounter-Strikebomb reskinned) to points conveniently named A and B.
The defenders need to either kill the attacking team, stall them until the timer runs out, or defuse the Rift Point Device if it’s been planted.

Like anycompetitive multiplayergame,you can choose whether you want to join a ranked or unranked queue, with rank and time penalties for ragequitting on the former so watch those caffeine levels before connecting.
For groups, the matchmaking inFortnite Ballisticwill use the party’s average rating, whereas ranked servers ofFortnite Battle RoyaleandReloaduse the party’s highest member rank.
Last but certainly not least, the developers have confirmed that crosshairs are not going anywhere, with options to show predicted bullet spread and recoil.
If well-executed,Fortnite Ballistichas a good chance to make a dent into theCounter-Strikeplayer base, but only time will tell.
