Fortnite Chapter 3 has arrived and its come with a new map, new weapons, gameplay mechanics and secrets.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Fortnite has received some major content with Chapter 3 - after a pretty spectacular chapter 2 finale - that brings a whole new map to the popular battle royale game. This includes fan-favorite locations that have been brought back from chapter 1, alongside new locations, plus new gameplay mechanics and secrets.

Jump into Fortnite right now and youll find the Daily Bugle office building from Spider-Man and a bunch of spider webs spread out across the island. Plus theres another new area called the Sanctuary that acts as the base for the Seven - the weird and secret organization behind the bigger Fortnite narrative. Oh, and also theres a huge statue of Dwyane The Rock Johnson right near the base.

Along with the new locations are some welcome gameplay changes. You can now slide across Fortnite by holding the crouch button on your respective gaming platform, and doing this downhill will increase your speed. Spider-Mans presence has also ushered in new gameplay features, and from December 11, players will be able to swing from high places with Spider-Mans web-shooters.

The ability to set up camps in Chapter 3 has been added to the game - this is where you and your squad can heal, store items and plan your next attack. A new heap of weapons have been added to the game, including shotguns, assault rifles and sniper rifles. Thunderstorms, lightning, and tornadoes have also made their way onto Fortnite - but beware of getting too close to tornados as theyll suck you in and spit you back out.

It's great to see a constant flow of new content get added to Battle Royales like Fortnite and Apex Legends . Whether its new maps, new guns, stories or new gameplay mechanics, theres always something there to keep the game interesting.

However, this isnt quite the same case for Call of Duty: Warzone , which is now only just getting a whole new map on December 9 after more than a year since its release.

Verdansk has been Warzones main map for over a year now - its seen some changes but they werent substantial. A much smaller map called Rebirth Island was added to bring some new life to the game, but that was released in December 2020 - so its pretty safe to say that has gotten stale too. And the staleness of the game is shown in its player count . According to playercounter.com estimations, Warzone consistently has dramatically lower player counts compared to Fortnite and Apex Legends .

But its looking like the new Warzone map called Caldera will bring some much-needed content and changes to the Call of Duty Battle Royale. These are the best PC games
