Apex Legends Season 15 added a new map and legend, but some players disapprove of the game\u2019s direction. Tensions reached a boiling point when the community launched \u2018Operation Fresh Different\u2018 to formalize demands for meaningful updates and new content. Players want fresh new content instead of rehashed and reskinned material. One user argued: \u201cWe want a fresh meta for characters and guns, new modes and LTMs, and different context experiences.\u201d Winter Express made its long-awaited return for the first return since December 2021. Fans have previously complained when the game mode is removed because they are so fond of it. However, this year, lobbies are failing to even fill. Is Apex Legends Winter Express LTM losing steam? The Winter Express LTM pits three teams of pre-equipped Legends up against each other in the hopes of capturing a Train or eliminating all enemies. The LTM has appeared in three holiday seasons, always boasting a solid player base. A Reddit user shared a much different experience, claiming players keep leaving games. \u201cWhy does everyone leave? I played it every year, and I can\u2019t remember it being like this.\u201d One user responded, \u201cI don\u2019t understand how we\u2019ve been three years with a handful of LTM\u2019s. How hard is it, realistically, to put together a limited-time, for-fun game mode that doesn\u2019t need to be super balanced.\u201d A second player added, \u201cI played two games, and it just feels not as fun. It\u2019s wild. I was waiting for an event, and then the first one a month into the season is crippled.\u201d Some community members theorized the decreased popularity is a result of the game mode removing the ability to shield heal. \u201cThe loadouts are sh**, and the mode is worse due to lack of healing. It used to be my favorite game mode but playing it after playing all the previous ones, it just feels like a shell.\u201d Whatever the reason, it\u2019s clear that the once-popular LTM has failed to recapture the same holiday magic as the first three iterations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends players notice big difference with Winter Express LTM this year RespawnApex Legends Winter Express LTM is usually a fan favorite, but the game mode did not garner as much hype this year.
