New NetEase FPS Sparks Warzone 'Rip-Off' Claims, But Some Call of Duty Fans Are Happy to See It

Call of Duty fans are torn about NetEase Games' ECC: Redline, a new FPS that many have called a "rip-off" with the power to fill the void for frustrated Warzone players.

NetEase called its new shooter a "self-developed extreme-sports tactical shooter" when revealing it just days ago. It's yet another big swing from the China-based tech company that boasts breakneck gameplay on PC via Steam and mobile devices, but in the hours since its big debut, it's also been called a "1:1 rip" of Activision's Call of Duty: Warzone, and it's not too hard to see why.

Viewers say guns look, kick, and move in a way that seems familiar, but the similarities don't stop there. Everything down the UI is being investigated by FPS enjoyers, too, with things like the sound effects also evoking the same kind of gritty action Call of Duty is known for. Even the way the first-person camera blurs when dropping from heights might feel familiar to fans of Warzone and other shooters. Even with characters that present their own unique abilities and gadgets, ECC: Redline has had a hard time escaping the comparisons online.

"Warzone + Delta Force + Blood Strike = ECC: Redline," one YouTube comment left on NetEase's official upload said.

"Literally the first thing that popped into my head was wow they have no shame," another replied , "straight copied COD even down to the UI and emblems etc."
