I’m really excited for season 1, it’s the official launch of the game finally! We’ve been playing the same maps for a very long time, excited to see which map they add first
I’m excited for new content, but I’ve also only played 5-6 hours since release, just because I don’t game much in the summer. But those complaining about lack of content gotta realize, you don’t have to 100% the game and drop 90+ hours in the first 2 weeks of the game 😂

@@Brad_Butters i would totally be playing cod rn if i wasnt banned from every game to come out since modern warfare 1 because their anticheat sucks lmao, kinda glad they banned me tho because their new games suck besides the campaigns

All great in all, but my issue still persist and they need to polish the hitreg and netcode otherwise its not gonna go far. Otherwise im excited for whats to come and im guessing the new faction with be a major challenge just like dedsec was.
I haven’t had much issues with the net code after recent updates. They’ve gotta add more servers tbh. I think the new faction will definitely behind challenges. I wonder what the initial challenge will be it could also be a free tier section of the BP to get the first person to unlock the other 2 with challenges
@@Brad_Butters no doubt netcode and hitreg gotten better. im still getting random hit regs and im seeing hit regs but not counting as actual dmg. Im sure their will be a free tier section I hope but who knows.
I'm excited for the new Non-Progression maps, new guns, new factions, new mastery camos and new high quality skins. Any content going to progression maps is a waste for me as I don't touch Escort/Zone control.
Sucks cause I bought the battle pass preseason and for the first like three weeks I couldn’t even get into a match and now I’m only at like level 25 with my character and maybe level 20 with the battle pass. I don’t have that much time to maybe an hour a day. It would be great if the battle pass could be boosted a bit with my tokens, but they don’t seem to do anything. I’m not gonna buy the next battle pass unless I finish it first
That’s usually the route I go when it comes to the battle pass. I won’t buy it unless I’m more than 60-70% done with it. I’ll probably buy it day one this time around for content and bc I’m sure I’ll finish it fairly quickly
100% it was getting stale, needed some new content bad. I think season 1 should’ve came 2 weeks ago but hey we’re back finally getting new stuff every single month forever going forward
Are they getting rid of lobby disbanding come season 1? Idk how anyone can believe there is no sbmm when lobby disbanding was literally put in cod for sbmm purposes. Every xdefiant match i play there is 1-2 bunny hopping sweats absolutely dominating the lobby and every end game score is 98-100 or something like that 😂. I dont buy it.
From the lobbies I’ve been in there’s no SBMM, disbanding lobbies should be gone with season 1 launch. I forgot to mention that in this video, mark said it should be gone
I cannot wait for SnD to come out for Bomb as mark said. Im hoping it releases mid season 1 but ofc not in comp because they need to polish the game mode before coming out in comp
@@Naasta27 looking at the timeline I’m sure it’ll be out by mid August. I think they’ll let CTF sit for a solid month than announce bomb August as the new map comes out, I think Daytona will come out in August so the progression side of the game gets some love
Bots are def annoying but it’s not game breaking, i know Rubin said they’re working on fixing them or changing the ability all together since it’s so buggy
Shotguns are more rare, snipers need to be banned from ranked, make it fast paced again, shit is so stagnant, all everybody do is camp with Tac 50's & other rifles
Man I hate repeating myself & sounding like a broken record but unless S1 has a huge update & fix netcode & hit reg, amongst broken Snipers, this game wonf last long. It amazes me how they gonna go into S1 with a game that has this bas of a netcode🤦🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️ they don't fix this by the end of S1, I'm done. I ain't tryna hear bout anything unless it's about netcode & hit reg, the game is literally unplayable. There are times when I go 6-30 cause no shots register while someone turns & one shits me with a SMG when I put half a mag in em💀 it got to the point where I can go 5-0 then all of a sudden no shits register & I'm suddenly 5-12, mostly or all fights I shoulda won or not died to as it was netcode related. It got to the point where whenever I die that much in a row to netcode & hit reg, I just quit the match & find another lobby until every lobby is the same bs therefore I am staying off it until there's a fix but then again if there was, it would be fixed by now especially when it launched, don't be surprised when this game dies, what a shame, 4 years for this mess, the gaming industry is a joke🤦🏿♂️.

This game grew extremely stale after only two weeks. I was having a blast and then all of a sudden I had no desire to play it. It’s too generic, obviously free to play but no idea how anyone would want to keep playing the same maps same modes and same everything.
I can agree that the preseason did grow a little stale. Going forward it’ll be a lot better with new content being pushed in every month. And LTM’s coming every couple weeks as well. The game won’t feel as boring as it has in the future
It’s amazing to me that people can have this opinion. Just play another game for like a week or two? This game is great, if the only major problem is lack of content, that’s amazing. I maxed out the battlepass, and completed all challenges, put 30 hours into the game. Guess what I’m going to do? Play another game for a week until season 1 drops. You shouldn’t expect one single game to hold your attention forever. That’s not healthy or even possible. This game doesn’t have the funding cod has

The major challenge is just going to be the same as last time a amount of xp to get the siege operators
They should add more than just one major challenge per season. It’s rumored to be more but we won’t know until probably Monday during their breakdown
Awesome breakdown brother!
Appreciate you Jonny!
I imagine the major challenge will be to unlock the GSK faction like dead sec (if you don't buy it)
Yeah that’ll be one of them, I hope they add more then just one challenge this time
Thanks for the breakdown
🫡 I got you, less than a week away now
Finally enjoyed gaming again. Been playing for 3 days now.
This game brought me back to enjoying FPS games. I bought a PS5 and I’ve fallen back in love with gaming been having so much fun playing story games again
Dang 90 tiers is a lot 😩. I’m excited for the new faction though.
90 tiers is a lot but it’s shorter than most games and it’s gonna last for 3 months I expect a lot of players will finish it within the first month.
You'll have plenty of boosters
Well, one of the challenges is if they unlock a new character you gotta unlock the other two characters and you have to do it with the first character
Yeah one of the major challenge will be to unlock the GSK. After that I’m sure they’ll add more challenges throughout

Xdefiant is not boring at all
Imagine how many people play warzone over and over and over...
Same map, same loadouts
Over and over
Playing WZ got boring definitely, I’m really over WZ right now I have no desire to play anything COD anymore
@bradleybuttersworth maybe do a short video of the ranked dukes n what’s banned etc
We’ll have to wait until it’s announced
Would be cool to add charms and attachment skins like r6
Mmmm that sounds interesting. Maybe down the line they’ll add some cool features like that
Does anyone know if I can still try to get the lockable faction after this season? Or should I just grind it out and quickly unlock it
You can always unlock it later, the challenge is tied to XP so as long as you play you can unlock it.
Can I complete the battle pass in a weekend from like 8 lol. Been waiting for updates and busy
This current BP? I honestly think so I completed it the first week wasn’t too bad, you can pop some double xp tokens for the BP and complete it faster
