I love XDefiant, it’s my go-to FPS. I play almost every weekend with friends and family when I have free time. Fingers crossed this game doesn’t go anywhere.
Unfortunately the game looks like something millenials think is still cool but alreadyirrelevantlike from 2019, like DEI neon LGTV pride aesthetics. And gunplay is actually fun except the hit reg is worst in the history. Also they killed snipers that no one pretty much used and those who are -- now camp. Like I'f I want this I play cod
Give this man a fucking reward😭 Thats what Ive been saying for ages man, the fucking hit detection is shit but they would rather nerf movement because some kid cant keep up😂. This game is going to crash so hard.
@@StephenPereira-f6x no way. I’ll hop on to see but I’ve been keeping up with the xdefiant subreddit and people have still been complaining about the netcode it seems
the reason i stopped playing xdefiant is just that there's nothing to do really other than just. play the camo grind is shit cuz its just time based so it doesnt feel engaging to go for the camo's at all there's barely any new content so most of the time it feels like im playing on maps that i played on for months already there's just genuinely nothing to do, and with bo6 coming up the only thing that would get me to play xdefiant after its launch is maybe the no sbmm but thats not enough for me to constistently keep playing it
Isn't that the point of videogames though? To play because you have fun and not because of superficial micro-responsibilities? Maybe you should play better games.
@@cashstillrules thats the thing tho xdefiant isnt fun, and thats why i stopped playing it i have multiple games i play because they are fun in one way or another, but xdefiant isnt fun gameplay wise and doesn't have any entertaining challenges. its why i am excited for bo6 because i actually had tons of fun playing that during the beta weekend camo challenges arent "micro-responsibilities" its a fun grind that entertains me and i love having to use all the different weapons in the game to unlock the mastery camo's
I feel like they're targeted player base that doesn't like sbm and stuff is the same people that don't like microtransactions. Also my big turn off was ranked play I was so disappointed in it the max amount of RP to be gained in a match is so low it's unbearable to play
they buffed the rp gain like a month ago, you get way more now and they added faction/ability restrictions so no more 4 phantoms with barriers stacking and holding hands, so maybe give it a try again! i played some games i remember getting like 150 rp on one game alone i got to silver pretty quick considering i play solo 😌
@@icemann1419 same i play casual most of the time the only reason tho is because i play solo, if i had a squad even if there not good i would play it more tbh its fun, youll play different from casual and youll learn a lot and become better
I predicted before launch that Xdefiant would die like halo infinite. Both are F2P games that released unfinished and desync issues and no progression system at launch.
Yeah, I refuse to buy games new anymore because CoD made it standard to release incomplete games and finish them with updates within 6 months after release. I was looking forward to the College Football game and I almost bought it at launch, but I decided to wait until videos came out of how it was, and I'm glad I did. The gameplay and physics was worse than a football game from the early 2000s, a game mode that was promised to be released by the time Madden was released a month later, ect. I'll wait until the game is complete and on sale months later. I'm not paying these prices for an incomplete game with the promise from greedy developers to finish it months later. Months later, I'm bored of the game and stop playing it. If you want your game to stick, it has to be released as a completed game and the after launch development needs to be focused on fixing bugs and making new content to keep people engaged. This is 100% the fault of developers rushing games out so that they can get their profits to show on their quarterly earnings to shareholders. You also have that one developer that promised 100% free post release content for those that bought the game early for like $200+ and then released new content and said that this content wasn't included as part of their $200+. They can all suffer and go out business for all I care.
I had de-sync issues in this game that made it unplayable. I would be several hitmarkers into someone that wasnt looking at me and then die within 2 frames of them turning on me
@@dkr011Aches, a dev from Ubisoft said himself that blops6 was just a better version of xdefiant. Crazy how a beta can have better server health than a game that has been released for months, not to mention all the development time
I hope this game gets the support it needs. I rather enjoy this game. There is something satisfying about it and i continue to log on each day and play. I don’t want it to die.
Still loving the game. Sniping is a real grind now after the crazy nerfs but still fun. I enjoyed the game so much that I got an overuse injury on my thumb from playing so much lol
I'm a casual Andy, so I only play for maybe an hour or so if I can each night, maybe a bit more on the weekend. I really enjoy the mechanics is this game. It could use more flushed out weapon attachments but it's a solid base. I finally completed the season pass for S1 and decided to purchase it so my time wasn't wasted on all the cosmetics. Hopefully it sticks around.
i play most days but one thing i think needs to change sooner than later are limited time modes being weekend only. it's alienating people that work weekends. make it the standard, LTM's are available all week.
@Espresso if you purchased a founders pack you will never see a major challenge. The major challenges are the new factions each season. People like me who bought a founders pack Auto Unlock the new faction when the season launches.
i still jump in regularly, cant wait for s2, but i agree its not enough service for a service game. Some weekend events are missing. Like make a big head weekend, or a one weapon event, where you can just use one weapon category. All that stuff is missing
I'm primarily call of duty player and I really like how Black ops 6 beta was.. that being said this is still a great game.. actually spent this morning playing some and I had a great time
I play Xdefiant almost daily, all I do is quick scope and don't really care about cammo grinding, the flow of the maps and the new Rockefeller map are great (for sniping)
I'm actually loving it. Warzone has lost me as a player and Black Ops 6 looks ridiculous. I just want to play some straight up old fashioned multiplayer and XDefiant is 100% my go to FPS. I'm loving the simplicity of it. If I want depth I go play Destiny 2. I just introduced a couple of friends to XDefinat who also love it as being something fresh and different from COD. They also loved that its free to play!
Why would Ubisoft NOT put the man power behind this game? Those numbers were crazy for them to just let slip away. I don't know if ANY of there other games enjoy those numbers, wild that that wasn't enough to sway the suits to allocate more resources. Edit: giving away premium currency SCREAMS "please come back to our game!" lmao that's some desperation.
The game simply needs more content. After finishing the battle pass weeks ago, there is nothing left that I really care to play for. I will play when Season 2 releases but it is going to be competing with Madden, FC 25 and NHL 25 by then.
i would like to see calling cards you can unlock through challenges. It was something i always enjoyed in COD. Like the nuked out you get when you manage to get a flawless free for all win
The abilities/factions killed it for me. It’s too much in 6v6, constantly being pinged through walls and having unkillable spiderbots jump on my face wasn’t fun. just want the simplicity of old CoD. Primary, secondary, lethal, tactical, 3 perks. I returned to MW2 and BO1/2.
it's a really solid game, but it needs some key features like killcams, HUD customisation, free for all game mode + others and a lot more maps. If Ubisoft treat it like Rainbow 6 siege with proper support they'll succeed, but if they keep laying off staff and setting unrealistic goals / expectations they're going to fail
This game has quickly become my go-to in the past month as I find reprieve from the COD cycle. There's no question it has its flaws but the variation in abilities and more strategic TTK has me coming back for more. Hoping this game can get some traction in season 2. I think too many people wrote it off after launch and since then it only keeps improving with proper support from the devs Edit: It's a nice middle ground between COD and The Finals
i really enjoyed xdef when it came out. i completed all the camos for all the guns and i got bored of it. the maps basically stayed the same and nothing else made me feel like my time was being well spent. i liked the concept of the game but it was like they didn’t do much after launch and it wasnt good enough to keep me playing. i wish all of the best for the devs that worked on the game. i hope you guys get to work on another game.
I think something that hindered this game quite a bit was having all the base game content in the betas and having so many betas (granted I understand that many tests were needed to fix issues so) but by the time the game released and nothing new was there for players who played those betas I can imagine they are just wanting for new content because they've played with everything from S1 within a short timeframe. Myself I played the alpha and insider sessions so I've played this same content for over 100 hours before the game was in the beta stage. The current content offering isn't very enticing and might not be fully for 2 more seasons at the current rate of content drops.
The biggest issue with Xdefiant for me is it’s lack of identity and soul. In spite of all the dumb cosmetic stuff, cod pretends (somewhat) that it’s grounded in military. Xdefiant is…nothing. There’s no core identity. It’s just a mess of mediocre Ubisoft properties (and Splinter cell) I don’t want to play a “Ubisoft shooter” I want to play a Military shooter. Doesn’t help that the game itself doesn’t feel very good. Animations are incredibly stiff and inconsistent in quality, the game is lacking a ton of modes and trying to be like Cod without a perk or kill streak system is like… just having boneless cod
I was all in on xdefiant, but the netcode ping lag was devastating. Getting killed behind cover and after rounding corners sucked the fun out of the game
There isnt a "lack" of content but people now expect every game to come with mega tons of content like cod/fortnite does. People need to learn how to play for FUN and to not play for DOPAMINE 24/7.
I haven't played the game, but I've watched plenty of it. It looks fun to play... But 4 months into the game and they've released a couple new weapons and a few (3? 4?) new maps? In this era of gaming, that simply doesn't cut it. No challenges? No prestige mode? Nothing to do except play just to play? That just won't work for most gamers. I'm old... My first game console was a Nintendo. The original NES. So I'm easy to please, but even for me, unless I just absolutely LOVE a game, I can't play it for a significant length of time for no reason at all. I need SOMETHING to grind towards, be it a camo, a cool new weapon or piece of gear, a cosmetic (at least in games where cosmetics matter to me... Which generally means NOT in FPS games) a challenge of some kind... Whatever. So, for me, if I was to start playing XDefiant today, I'd have weapon levels and camos, if I like them, to work for... Then what? Like I said, I'm old, so my days of pub stomping are mostly behind me, the occasional night of being absolutely locked in aside, so that thrill doesn't draw me in once I'm done leveling. And there's plenty of people that feel the same for one reason or another, so what keeps players coming back? Things to grind for, to work towards... Content.
@@jedirayden Yea you right, the game was announced to soon and got "pushed out" by the community so the game isnt like it should be (in general content and objectives to do). I need to comprehend that there is people that cant play a game for fun without needing for a secondary objective unfortunately.
Such a shame, this is a game I genuinely enjoy playing, cod hasn’t been enjoyable lately so if they can just get things sorted and deliver more content and change whatever they need to change to make XDefiant a game more people want to play hopefully it won’t die
The biggest issue I feel with this game is lack of content. That’s the main reason why I stopped playing. I didn’t mind this game when it came out. But when I log on and there isnt a ton of content. It’s depressing. Like the game like you said feels empty
IMO, I do still love XDefiant. It's a great chill and casual game that I don't take too seriously. But that's where the problem lies. As you mentioned, there's no incentive to continue playing after you unlock attachments and camos. It's sad coz you can tell the devs genuinely want to make a good fps game but they just don't have the man power or budget to push them. Also, I feel like the seasons last WAY too long. If they shorten the season but increase the XP you get from the battle pass, it would make the seasons flow more smoothly
It just launched too late. If it came out during MWII's lifecycle which is when a lot of people were disappointed with CoD, it would have had a better chance at retaining those players. But MWIII ended up being pretty fun so there was less of a need for XDefiant after that
Just tried it the other day after being a hater, and is actually so good. I’m going to play BO6 over it purely cause it’s more popular, but I wish it had a big player base. Movement, gunplay, ttk, matchmaking, graphics, aesthetic, game modes, and maps feel so good.
I love the game, Love to grind skins and I will not give up on this game but if it it going to shut down within the next year I also don’t see a point in playing it and grinding out these camos, I definitely won’t buy anything from the store 😂
u forgot to mention how most of the player base doesn’t even play the gamemodes with different maps….they play domination, tdm, and hard point basically
This. They nerfed snipers about 4 to 5 times. No one played snipers already but they added extra flynch. On top of worst hit reg in the business it's just a comedy
good ...go play sniper on warzone or pubg dude ...stop abuse people from half a meter sniper shots ....idgaf if its askill issue ...it is in fact because you oly can play one weapon ...time to learn another one
lack of maps/content and a shop full of less than stellar skins/camos, I'm wondering why they're surprised by any of that edit - they need to add that search and destroy type mode also
There isnt a "lack" of content 😂. You just need to learn how to play for fun. You dont need dopamine 24/7. And search and destroy is being added in season 2.
@@Caralh.o fair enough lol believe me I'm all about playing for fun nowadays (my call of duty gamebattles days are a decade plus over 😄 I like xdefiant for just being a more laid back fps i can relax and play, I guess I just got bored of the maps kind of. but that's great to hear about search, that's been my favorite mode for years back in call of duty
I definitely think more frequent updates mid season would help. I have tried to play the last couple days, but as a casual player, I have noticed a big difference in the vibe of matches compared to a week or two ago. Before, I could get top 3 on the scoreboard regularly... Now it just feels super sweaty like COD because the only people left are the hardcore seriously skilled players grinding away at those camos. The biggest issue for me right now besides that is the progression. The weapon levels TAKE FOREVER unless you are topping the matches, going on streaks. It is barely worth playing objective modes because weapon xp is still tied solely to kills.... and there is nothing else to do... I ve done all the other challenges for characters and weapons. No Thx right now... See you in Season 2 when they fix this shit...
Lack of content, net code gun camo glitch, and it’s Ubisoft the companies about ready to go under sassy when they see the next assassin’s Creed shadows game stocks are plummeting like these companies didn’t learn anything from what happened to Budweiser😂😂😂
Honestly, I’m not even going to sugar coat this. You’re only back on XDefiant because call of duty has downtime at the moment and you’re just trying to mooch back off XDefiant whilst you can and then as soon as bo6 comes out, you’ll be gone again for months and then come back to the game as if nothings happened… You never should of left the game full stop.
Don’t blame him blame the lazy devs who tweet all day instead of working on the game and actually fixing the broken game with so many bugs. We all knew the game will launch with bugs and connection issues but the fact we are getting into season2 and barely anything is fixed is crazy. The core mechanics of the games are so bad for example netcode and hit detection and if that’s bad it will ruin the experience for anyone.
@@BollyToHolly I have every right to blame him. Yes, at the moment the devs are more talk than do, I know that. But there has been other updates to XDefiant with changes made and he hasn’t covered ONE of them. He’s now back on the game acting like he never left, promoting his creator code to get those easy bucks from us who still play the game because no one will buy things from cod rn bc bo6 soon. Getting ready to start milking the regained hype of XDefiant to leave it again once black ops 6 comes out and then the cycle will repeat. The same goes for all these other streamers and content creators who left this game completely and will start coming back when S2 begins and then start talking crap again about it when bo6 launches.
@@vc86split You watch the next couple weeks. They’ll all come back to XDefiant like they never left and then kick it to the curb once again when bo6 comes out
I stopped playing because my friends didn't like it. They are all excited for BO6 though so It'll probably check out Bomb! Mode solo and then grind out BO6 because that beta was insanely fun!
I have been playing this game faithfully since launch. The biggest thing I can say that is wrong with it, is dying around corners. You should be able to peak and get shot once and be able to retrieve and heal back up. If you are exposed for half a second and get shot, you’re dying like 90% of the time. The devs have identified this issue on discord and haven’t done anything to change it. It has zero forgiveness in this area and for someone who played apex faithfully for 5 years, it can make all the difference in a fight.
Game is fun, just severely lacks content. Yeah they will have content on release but will we have the same as season 1 where there isn't much to grind once the battle pass is done? I can get why people stopped playing especially those that played the beta. They came back to nothing new at all on launch so played a few weeks then stopped which was possibly the drop in player count that happened. Content I think would help the game but won't give it huge numbers as they hope to get.
What needs to be put in game is when you block a player we shouldn’t be in same match !!! This will help when cheaters take over a game !!! You want to cheat go ahead but I choose not to play a game with an unfair advantage !!! I only block gamers who I believe who are cheating .
I don’t play this game as much as I used to as the camo grind is too much the new content doesn’t keep me engaged enough and it’s just a game I can only play once a week tops currently but it still exceeds cod for me s
I love XDefiant, it’s my go-to FPS. I play almost every weekend with friends and family when I have free time. Fingers crossed this game doesn’t go anywhere.
Their stock is tanking, they keep hiring woke people, slowly turning the company woke. Go woke, go broke!
It's already almost dead, when BO6 launches this game will be a ghost town.

There isnt a "lack" of content but people now expect every game to come with mega tons of content like cod/fortnite does. People need to learn how to play for FUN and to not play for DOPAMINE 24/7.
Read your comment again. Dopamine is what gives you that feeling.
@@Aweburn82 Excessive quantities is what Im talking about.
I haven't played the game, but I've watched plenty of it. It looks fun to play... But 4 months into the game and they've released a couple new weapons and a few (3? 4?) new maps? In this era of gaming, that simply doesn't cut it. No challenges? No prestige mode? Nothing to do except play just to play? That just won't work for most gamers.
I'm old... My first game console was a Nintendo. The original NES. So I'm easy to please, but even for me, unless I just absolutely LOVE a game, I can't play it for a significant length of time for no reason at all. I need SOMETHING to grind towards, be it a camo, a cool new weapon or piece of gear, a cosmetic (at least in games where cosmetics matter to me... Which generally means NOT in FPS games) a challenge of some kind... Whatever.
So, for me, if I was to start playing XDefiant today, I'd have weapon levels and camos, if I like them, to work for... Then what?
Like I said, I'm old, so my days of pub stomping are mostly behind me, the occasional night of being absolutely locked in aside, so that thrill doesn't draw me in once I'm done leveling. And there's plenty of people that feel the same for one reason or another, so what keeps players coming back? Things to grind for, to work towards... Content.
@@jedirayden Yea you right, the game was announced to soon and got "pushed out" by the community so the game isnt like it should be (in general content and objectives to do). I need to comprehend that there is people that cant play a game for fun without needing for a secondary objective unfortunately.
@@Caralh.o That's not how that works.
We should be getting prestiges and skin challenges next season, they definitely realise they need to give us a reasons to play and content is coming
If you listen closely and close your eyes, he kind of sounds like Remi from Ratatouille. Also love the content!
Such a shame, this is a game I genuinely enjoy playing, cod hasn’t been enjoyable lately so if they can just get things sorted and deliver more content and change whatever they need to change to make XDefiant a game more people want to play hopefully it won’t die
Major challenge is for the Faction unlock for people don't pay to unlock it or have bought a Founders Pack which unlocks the Factions.
very fun FPS. Hope nothing dramatic changes.
I love this game. We do need some better stuff in the store though. Maybe update it a little more often.
Wasn’t this the same game where the CEO was on Twitter/X being completely transparent about everything before launch? What happened to that?
The biggest issue I feel with this game is lack of content. That’s the main reason why I stopped playing. I didn’t mind this game when it came out. But when I log on and there isnt a ton of content. It’s depressing. Like the game like you said feels empty
IMO, I do still love XDefiant. It's a great chill and casual game that I don't take too seriously. But that's where the problem lies. As you mentioned, there's no incentive to continue playing after you unlock attachments and camos. It's sad coz you can tell the devs genuinely want to make a good fps game but they just don't have the man power or budget to push them. Also, I feel like the seasons last WAY too long. If they shorten the season but increase the XP you get from the battle pass, it would make the seasons flow more smoothly
Skill issue
@@TajayWilliams-ct2nn cognitive issue
chill...casual? lol it's the sweatiest players who gave up cod
It just launched too late. If it came out during MWII's lifecycle which is when a lot of people were disappointed with CoD, it would have had a better chance at retaining those players. But MWIII ended up being pretty fun so there was less of a need for XDefiant after that
I like the gameplay and sound better than cod as of now
The only major challenges I’ve ever seen are to unlock factions.
Just tried it the other day after being a hater, and is actually so good. I’m going to play BO6 over it purely cause it’s more popular, but I wish it had a big player base. Movement, gunplay, ttk, matchmaking, graphics, aesthetic, game modes, and maps feel so good.
I love the game, Love to grind skins and I will not give up on this game but if it it going to shut down within the next year I also don’t see a point in playing it and grinding out these camos, I definitely won’t buy anything from the store 😂
For me it was the fact that there isnt much to grind for
The cod killer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For me it is. I havent touched CoD since february
@@xCriZzZ xd is for woke gays
@@xCriZzZthere are dozens of y’all!
Bro plays the same reskin cod every year and thinks it’s the best, try something new!
They both suck, stop pretending like one is better. Cod has better netcode and more content but it's still in lowest it's ever been
the first dependent seems to have a thriving store...wonder why
Can't find any matches on South Africa Servers - so sad - such a fun game
Still playing !😊
So SBMM wasn't the problem huh 😂
dayum lol
It still is. You talk like there isnt 1 million other issues with xdefiant.
There’s a lot wrong with XDefiant.
u forgot to mention how most of the player base doesn’t even play the gamemodes with different maps….they play domination, tdm, and hard point basically
I have faith.
will new players in season 2 just not get to ever unlock weapons from season one stuck in the battle pass?
The ruined the sniper community with that laughable flinch added.
This. They nerfed snipers about 4 to 5 times. No one played snipers already but they added extra flynch. On top of worst hit reg in the business it's just a comedy
good ...go play sniper on warzone or pubg dude ...stop abuse people from half a meter sniper shots ....idgaf if its askill issue ...it is in fact because you oly can play one weapon ...time to learn another one
Funny thing is that xdefiant will die faster than extraction
Nice rage bait kid
I wish the camos where challenges instead of being based solely on weapon level
Had a horrible and delayed launch. Friends and I played the beta, didn’t play at launch
The major challenge is the GS komando.. maybe you purchase the bundle so you cannot see the major challenge
lack of maps/content and a shop full of less than stellar skins/camos, I'm wondering why they're surprised by any of that
edit - they need to add that search and destroy type mode also
There isnt a "lack" of content 😂. You just need to learn how to play for fun. You dont need dopamine 24/7. And search and destroy is being added in season 2.
@@Caralh.o fair enough lol believe me I'm all about playing for fun nowadays (my call of duty gamebattles days are a decade plus over 😄 I like xdefiant for just being a more laid back fps i can relax and play, I guess I just got bored of the maps kind of.
but that's great to hear about search, that's been my favorite mode for years back in call of duty
@@allen_bernardo_jr Nice to hear that there is still people that know how to have fun. I wish good lobbies for you, have fun and enjoy life 👍.
This game is awesome 😎
The future is looking good rn lowkey
They should front load all of that content for the next few months and then taper off toward that year 1 mark
We're just getting used to not owning games.
I definitely think more frequent updates mid season would help. I have tried to play the last couple days, but as a casual player, I have noticed a big difference in the vibe of matches compared to a week or two ago. Before, I could get top 3 on the scoreboard regularly... Now it just feels super sweaty like COD because the only people left are the hardcore seriously skilled players grinding away at those camos. The biggest issue for me right now besides that is the progression. The weapon levels TAKE FOREVER unless you are topping the matches, going on streaks. It is barely worth playing objective modes because weapon xp is still tied solely to kills.... and there is nothing else to do... I ve done all the other challenges for characters and weapons.
No Thx right now... See you in Season 2 when they fix this shit...
Lack of content, net code gun camo glitch, and it’s Ubisoft the companies about ready to go under sassy when they see the next assassin’s Creed shadows game stocks are plummeting like these companies didn’t learn anything from what happened to Budweiser😂😂😂
Net code camo glitch? Thats new.
@@Caralh.o yeah when your camo on your gun won’t shoot straight your centering and where the bullets go are two different places
@@davemangamer7365camo on your gun won’t shoot straight really bro🤨🤦🏾♂️
“like what happened to budweiser” bruhhhhhhh being antiwoke gives ppl cancer in their brains LMAO they blame that shit for EVERYTHING it’s comedy
@@jevontejoneshad a whole stroke trying to read this dudes comments.
Its got no art direction or unique style to it
Honestly, I’m not even going to sugar coat this. You’re only back on XDefiant because call of duty has downtime at the moment and you’re just trying to mooch back off XDefiant whilst you can and then as soon as bo6 comes out, you’ll be gone again for months and then come back to the game as if nothings happened… You never should of left the game full stop.
The first thing that came to my mind was what you just said.
Don’t blame him blame the lazy devs who tweet all day instead of working on the game and actually fixing the broken game with so many bugs. We all knew the game will launch with bugs and connection issues but the fact we are getting into season2 and barely anything is fixed is crazy. The core mechanics of the games are so bad for example netcode and hit detection and if that’s bad it will ruin the experience for anyone.
Spineless TH-camrs disgust me
@@BollyToHolly I have every right to blame him. Yes, at the moment the devs are more talk than do, I know that. But there has been other updates to XDefiant with changes made and he hasn’t covered ONE of them. He’s now back on the game acting like he never left, promoting his creator code to get those easy bucks from us who still play the game because no one will buy things from cod rn bc bo6 soon. Getting ready to start milking the regained hype of XDefiant to leave it again once black ops 6 comes out and then the cycle will repeat.
The same goes for all these other streamers and content creators who left this game completely and will start coming back when S2 begins and then start talking crap again about it when bo6 launches.
@@vc86split You watch the next couple weeks. They’ll all come back to XDefiant like they never left and then kick it to the curb once again when bo6 comes out
I stopped playing because my friends didn't like it. They are all excited for BO6 though so It'll probably check out Bomb! Mode solo and then grind out BO6 because that beta was insanely fun!
I’ll come back to the game when they release mnk support on console.
Ubisoft better realize that XDEFIANT needs Some Better Micro Management and stop playing around .
Ive been addicted to Wukong. Thats my reason 😂 Refuse to play COD so Ill be back.
I played bo6 and it was good but the movement in xD is so smooth
I forgot it existed
Time to concord this game
Not enough content or a proper camo grind. Give me heads hots and whatnot and I'll dive back in.
I don't even have this game installed anymore and I forgot when I got rid of it lol. so sad cause I LOVED the console betas
Bring a mode with score streaks
I have been playing this game faithfully since launch. The biggest thing I can say that is wrong with it, is dying around corners. You should be able to peak and get shot once and be able to retrieve and heal back up. If you are exposed for half a second and get shot, you’re dying like 90% of the time. The devs have identified this issue on discord and haven’t done anything to change it. It has zero forgiveness in this area and for someone who played apex faithfully for 5 years, it can make all the difference in a fight.
Shame net code is a fundamental part of a working fps so dying round corners will never stop lol
Well well well.......... water is wet.
I just joined X defiant
if not season 2, season 3 needs to have the game added to steam
Game is fun, just severely lacks content. Yeah they will have content on release but will we have the same as season 1 where there isn't much to grind once the battle pass is done?
I can get why people stopped playing especially those that played the beta. They came back to nothing new at all on launch so played a few weeks then stopped which was possibly the drop in player count that happened. Content I think would help the game but won't give it huge numbers as they hope to get.
What needs to be put in game is when you block a player we shouldn’t be in same match !!! This will help when cheaters take over a game !!! You want to cheat go ahead but I choose not to play a game with an unfair advantage !!! I only block gamers who I believe who are cheating .
Made me laugh when people hyped this up as a CoD killer.
The game just never felt complete to me while playing it. No replayablility
I don’t play this game as much as I used to as the camo grind is too much the new content doesn’t keep me engaged enough and it’s just a game I can only play once a week tops currently but it still exceeds cod for me s
I thought it was obvious that as soon as the next call of duty was coming out, this would be dumped
It’s dead in the water, just as I predicted
Once BO6 comes out this game can turn off their servers
