Yes but a big difference is Call of Duty is an M rated video game whereas Fortnite is rated T. Fortnite doesn't feature blood, death, or swearing. Does it matter that the same kids probably play both? That's for the parents to decide
Of course Fortnite features death, we aren't showering other players with love.
Epic's official language for the game never features death. Characters are eliminated, you can meet the god of the underworld, but no character ever actually dies. Apparently the ESRB says it's ok
The language doesn't matter, you are still reducing people's health by shooting them, until their health reaches 0 and they cease to exist. Thus, it is death.
