10 Reasons Why Apex Legends Is BETTER Than Call Of Duty: Blackout

7. The Ping System Makes Communication Effortless

Apex Legends made the controversial decision to force you into playing with two team members at all times, but it's attempted to make that process as efficient and fun as possible through the 'ping' system.

Even though it's still best to coordinate with a mic, not every player enjoys talking to random strangers online, and this convenient system, attached to R1/right bumper, helps keep your team together in the thick of battle. By pressing the button you can highlight weapons, armour, enemies or locations you want to venture to next, while your in-game character will shout out an appropriate line for added clarity.

The added audio line surprisingly makes your team actually feel like a close-knit squad rather than a band of randoms. The visual detail also makes it easy to change tactics on the fly, and being able to ping vital information like an enemy's location keeps the communication lines open without, you know, actually forcing you to verbally communicate.
