It would undoubtedly be a great disappointment for many Fortnite fans who had been enjoying playing maps based on FPS, Rust, and Zombies from the Call of Duty franchise. Lucky went on to say that it was unavoidable. But he hoped those maps that drew inspiration from other games rather than simply copying them should be allowed.

But even if Activision takes down these Call of Duty-themed maps, they would still have exciting maps to enjoy. Fans can also try the MMORPG and horror-themed maps in Fortnite 2.0.

How did fans react to these actions by Activision?

Fans weren’t much surprised about these consequences with the Call of Duty maps.
