With Creative 2.0 in Fortnite, the creativity of players knows no bounds anymore. Or does it? A fan created many CoD maps for multiplayer and zombie modes, but they have now been taken offline for good reason.
What is Creative 2.0? Epic Games released a new feature for Fortnite on March 23, 2023, which many players had been waiting for. The Unreal Editor for Fortnite, or UEFN, is a system that players can use to create better and more diverse maps in Creative mode.
This allows maps to be created that resemble parts of GTA 5 or even areas from CoD. As cool as that sounds, it’s not that easy because Epic Games has set limitations for the players, showing them what they are allowed to create and what not.
Many creators, however, disregard Epic Games’ warnings and must now deal with the consequences. Just like the creator Mist Jawa, who had to delete all his CoD maps.
Player Copies Most Famous Map from CoD – Now Faces Trouble
What has the player created? Mist Jawa is a content creator who created the famous CoD map “Rust” in Fortnite since the release of Creative 2.0. Additionally, there were also some zombie maps for survivalists. These could then be visited and played for free as soon as you had the map code.
The problem, however, is that Epic Games views such maps as violations of copyright regulations (via youtube.com). Now, Jawa had to delete all his CoD maps, along with all videos on his social accounts (via twitter.com).
Why did he have to delete the maps? Creative 2.0 offers crazy possibilities to implement things from other games into Fortnite. As cool as that may sound, it unfortunately violates copyright regulations that Epic Games has established.
Basically, these are blatant copies of content that belong to Activision. When creators copy CoD maps 1:1 and even name them the same, they will be removed by Epic Games. Additionally, there are penalties such as a permanent ban from Fortnite, even for maps that have not been commercialized yet.
It’s a delicate topic, and even though the idea is cool to walk around with Fortnite skins in GTA 5, you should not risk a ban.
