For the time being, servers are pretty messy. Took me a few hours to get into some matches. If you're having issues, what worked for me was queueing and then tabbing over to my loadout tab in my menu then didn't touch anything until I joined a match. Weird, but fixed the issue for me. Hope it can work for you too! Additionally, for some reason Private Zones are not enabled? Surely has to be a bug as all studio comms pointed towards this being a launch feature, so apologies for suggesting testing settings in there, I (incorrectly) assumed it would be up and running by now after the server fixes.
Yup just awful lag compensation that all shooters have to disguise lag and match people to games faster disguising the bad quality, over actually searching for games with players of better ping
I can tell who ACTUALLY played the OG CODS by the ”sprint cancels reload settings”. The sprint to reload cancel is COD 101. Really surprised you recommend it be turned off
Facts!! These settings are recommended for players that are new to shooters or are just average.I don’t even use these guides anymore.Def keep on sprint reloads.😊
I had a terrible experience in both betas so I had low expectations but damn this is actually really fun. And I see a lot of complaints but I had no issue finding games very quickly last night. Def have some work to do but for me this was a great start
Enjoying it thoroughly, even though after playing the server test session I was a little down on the game. I had to work for the first part of the day when the servers weren't working, so as far as that goes I havent really had any issues. I will say that the main thing I have to grip about is on one or two of the maps its pretty easy to get spawn killed, felt like I was playing CoD but that's to be expected.
Thanks for the advice! I'll be testing out your suggestions. I had a go at the game yesterday, but I haven't quite formed a solid opinion yet. One thing I did notice was that the movement, particularly using the right thumb stick, felt a bit clunky compared to the smoothness of COD MW 3 2023. Additionally, I found it challenging to keep my reticle centered, which became problematic given that I typically play hardcore mode in Call of Duty (where fewer bullets are needed to kill compared to core mode). As a result, I was constantly getting taken out because my aim wasn't quite on point. XDefiant seems to blend elements from Overwatch 2, Fortnite, and old-school COD Black Ops. I plan on tinkering with the settings and investing more time into it to see if I can find a setup that works better for me.
Other than the server issues (not be able to find a match), ive had a blast on this game. Some minor hit reg issues, ill die after getting around a corner from time to time. Ill have my shots no-reg every once in a while. But over all, im quite pleased. Im hoping some of these minor issues are just from the servers being overwhelmed while the community all loaded it up. Most of the maps are fun. Ive ran into some cool people on VC already. Ill be leaving COD on "OFF" for a while. Hoping i can get my friend group to give COD a break and play XDEFIANT. This game will be a ton of fun with a team using comms and using their abilities strategically.
Havnt been playing cod since season 2. Here for X, not because i think its the best thing ever by any means, but Im just ready for a new game man. Im ready for something fresh even though I dont like faction/hero shooters.
The fact they launched a brand-new game which will bring brand new players but some restarted employee in a team made a call to disable the practice zone on launch so that we can gate keep the game for sweats!? Like dafuq!
Im really enjoying this refreshing new objective based fps. Only complaint so far is sometimes i personally feel like i def ran behind the wall/cover and i still die. im not sure why it feels so prominent currently. IMO
Personally i think this game still needs a lot of work with how the gun play feels, to me currently it feels wonky, the hit reg, ttk/ttd, enemy footsteps, ect.
Played a couple games. Seems way too clunky and honestly people don't know to not sweat their balls off anymore. Way too many streamers trying to be the next ninja
I thought it was just me because I'm not like a fps god or anything I mainly play wwe and cod casually so this had me thinking my fingers was in quicksand
I have been playing fps games for years, this game really makes me feel like I am actually bad at aiming and it is so frustrating when I seem to take full mags to kill people while getting melted by the enemy.
This game is like a mix of cold war mw and bo4 the graphics are like cold war movement feels like a mix of modern warfare with cold war movement and lastly operators reminds me of the specialists of bo4
Yeah it feels very Treyarch like to me, which is a good thing. The lag compensation is really bad for me right now. Sometimes I get into matches and it feels good (5 or 6 hits, kills), other matches I have to absolutely go try hard to get a kill but for them, I blink and I get melted.
Am i the only person who uses the controller layout to swap melee and jump? when jump is on the right stick, u can jump and turn without moving your thumb across the controller.
Is anyone else noticing some peeker's advantage in this game? i was shot around corners a couple times during my session yesterday and it's not a huge deal since it can be worked on but it was weird to see 😂
I've never played any of the play tests for this game, and managed to only play one game yesterday. But this game feels very weird. The aim assist feels non existent, its like my aim is all over the place, and the enemies just sponge bullets, yet i die in like 2 bullets on my end. It has a very different feeling to cod, for some reason. I'm hoping its just me and my rustiness rather than game. Also only god knows why they made the sensitivity parameters so wide in range, its such a pain to find the best settings. There also needs to be a standard TDM playlist without any abilities, they get very annoying very fast.
Me and my friend were playing yesterday and the first two games we got top of scoreboard then after that each game it felt like we werent doing any damage and getting absolutely destroyed.
Yeah so you’ll have to exit out of the app, go into its settings, (this part may be different depending on what you play on) check it’s storage data, move the data into a separate hard drive, now with your newfound storage data you should have enough space to download Call of Duty. Hoped that helped 👍
my controller feels exactly like COD 2019.. not COD MW3 now.. its awkward,, really awkward.. and i hit my COD buttons, expecting COD reactions and i do something unintended over n over.. gonna be hard to get use to this movement and aiming. not sure if settings alone will make up for how weird the movement and aiming feel..
I wish I could use the practice mode thing. It’s not available for me rn. I guess there must be some bugs they’re working on or something. I want to try different settings without having to deal with real players yet.
Cant get into practice range. Its tough to see enemies and imho hit markers n sound effects are weak .. BUT ! Im actually haveing some fun regardless …
The servers are still kinda fucked so it could be desync. But you can also shoot through certain wall materials, like cloth or plywood, the gun you're using might not have good enough penetration.
anyone else having issues on 2160 resolution, when i try to change it to to 4k game automatically pop into window mode and doesnt allow me to go in 4k resolution
i cant find my sensitivty sweet spot that i have in cod and i keep loosing to tryhards , i know the game has received a lot of praise but i cant for the love of me have fun without me complaining about my aim or tryhards ive been with for the past 3hours of me playing for the 1st time
8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1
can i ask why its buffering so badly i mean i have a great pc its only on this game it stutters constantly
Controller won’t even work for me without jumping through a ton of hoops. Just putting it down until they roll out some major patches. It sucks waiting a year for a game and it’s not playable
Welp, it does have some net code issues, but if you are shooting at someone and they start running, you cant just follow them, you must antecipate your shots. Been doin that, and is pretty normal for me now. Bullet velocity isnt just as high as in CoD.
What's the best competitive input curve for controller. I played default on games with no options which feels exponential and ive played linear on fortnite for consistency. What is S curve.
For the time being, servers are pretty messy. Took me a few hours to get into some matches.

It's fixed now
I hovered over the battle pass 🤣🤣and it was working for me while everyone was struggling
X DEFIANT IS THE WORST 😂
i jumped in around 630pm EST.. i am near Atlanta.. i had zero wait time for games... maybe this all took place early in the day...?>?
Anybody else feel like they're dying in like 0.8 seconds but when you shoot, you have to really go hard to kill in about 10 seconds?
Yes!
Yes, my first game felt okay, all the rest have been horrible for me, dying instantly veil everyone else just tanks the bullets on pc!
Yea,just chalked it up to being on console & not being able to switch to 120,even though my TV & PS5 supports it???

Nope. I'm on PC with 200+ fps and gigabit ethernet and I'm having the same issues. Weird "loose" feeling to the gunplay too.
Any settings to find a match?
Close the game and reload it I’ve been playing fine since I did that
😂
All jokes aside. The game is fire. Very much enjoying it.
Lmfao just restart it think the updated the playlist it’s been running smooth ever since I slapped my pc and cracked the glass 💪
Working fine for me now, just had a match with 14ms ping and it was awesome!
Been playing the past couple hours, zero issues with the servers thankfully. Great time playing so far.
I've had some mino hit registration, but other than that, it's been smooth. Sniping is smooth as well

I’m cod og for sure and I did use sprint to cancel but I now prefer double tap triangle/Y
Being able to sprint while you’re reloading to reposition or escape is goated tf are you talking about
The real og ogs yy to reload cancel 😈
The flashbang setting changing to dark is ingenious. It’s the most jarring effect in video games for me so GG’s to them 👏🏼

I played cod and BF for 16+ years I cannot stand the movement in this game it feels like your floating along the ground
Movement is definitely a turn off for me in this game
def no bf-like game, for what its supposed to be its nice
Can we change servers like Europe North America Asia?? Or there will be one default regional server?? Please let me know
Feels like an inferior ADHD generic arena shooter with clunky wooden movement. Not sure it brings anything new to the table
Exactly how I feel! I feel slow and clunky. Definitely not gonna replace cod for me but I did have fun. If they could make it more smooth I’d play it

practice zone
I would love to use the practice zone IF IT WOULD LET ME 😭😭😭
Right, I'm glad im not the only one at least!
It's a great game when u get in

Appreciate you bro!!
Does the practice zone actually work for you guys? Mine is locked
Nope. I think it's locked for everyone.
@@pavmx703 unfortunate but the game is still really fun
Thank you 🙏🏻 very much and love the videos mate
gr8 options in this game esp the Input Based Matchmaking
The custom flash bang effect will be a game changer thnx dude
AWESOME content
Turning off crossplay in the Xbox system causes so many games to freak the heck out. Great video, subscribed for the content and launch of XD!
Obviously...if you only have 10 other people to match with you'd freak out 🤷
I plan on turning off crossplay today, hopefully no issues.
Havnt been playing cod since season 2. Here for X, not because i think its the best thing ever by any means, but Im just ready for a new game man. Im ready for something fresh even though I dont like faction/hero shooters.
This game looks really fun!!
It is but just takes a while to figure out the settings.
The fact they launched a brand-new game which will bring brand new players but some restarted employee in a team made a call to disable the practice zone on launch so that we can gate keep the game for sweats!? Like dafuq!
Believe it or not kids, back in the day we used to play the game and figure this out for ourselves.
Im really enjoying this refreshing new objective based fps. Only complaint so far is sometimes i personally feel like i def ran behind the wall/cover and i still die. im not sure why it feels so prominent currently. IMO
Personally i think this game still needs a lot of work with how the gun play feels, to me currently it feels wonky, the hit reg, ttk/ttd, enemy footsteps, ect.
Yea, definitely not a COD killer, lmao.
First few hours it was hard to find a game but now no time at all I’m straight in it’s fucking great game 💯👌
"go to the practice range" bro I would If I could. Imagine telling people to use a feature that's locked out of the game
To recap this video…. “It’s up to you.”
Nice video bro
Played a couple games. Seems way too clunky and honestly people don't know to not sweat their balls off anymore. Way too many streamers trying to be the next ninja
the new name is CLUNKDefiant
Yup,feels like I'm trying to run with iron boots on🚮

Can you elaborate on "clunky" please?
You're not the first person I've seen say that, but I don't really understand what they/you mean.
@@ImEnemy608do you play video games?
Thanks brother!
I have been playing fps games for years, this game really makes me feel like I am actually bad at aiming and it is so frustrating when I seem to take full mags to kill people while getting melted by the enemy.
I would love to try these settings out in the practice zone. Please, tell me how.
EXcellent Thanks for great help
watching this at work was not my birghtest idea
For those who can't find a match, start matching and go to the loadout and wait.
Okay so basically its all preference 😂 haha nah you had good info thanks 👍🏻
The game actually is good but I want better progression system like prestige or something like that. Base level system is boring
Also movement disaster🤮
They said something about adding a prestige system in the near future
This game is like a mix of cold war mw and bo4 the graphics are like cold war movement feels like a mix of modern warfare with cold war movement and lastly operators reminds me of the specialists of bo4

rtx 3070ti and i get 23 minimum fps every 10 seconds. good job :D
That's weird, I have a 3060 and I mostly play at 150 fps constantly on high graphics settings native resolution
Also check for your driver updates they released one for xdefiant performance and to fix latency issues
This game needs hardcore mode.
Me and my friend were playing yesterday and the first two games we got top of scoreboard then after that each game it felt like we werent doing any damage and getting absolutely destroyed.
have trying playing this for several hours now and cannot seem to get off the ground. the way is way to sweaty for someone like me to be playing.
So this is a “how to change your settings for dummies” video. Got it lol I need more of a “these are the best settings to use” video lol
Turn triple buffering off for lower input delay
Is there a setting to have fun? Genuine question
Yeah so you’ll have to exit out of the app, go into its settings, (this part may be different depending on what you play on) check it’s storage data, move the data into a separate hard drive, now with your newfound storage data you should have enough space to download Call of Duty.

my controller feels exactly like COD 2019.. not COD MW3 now.. its awkward,, really awkward.. and i hit my COD buttons, expecting COD reactions and i do something unintended over n over..
gonna be hard to get use to this movement and aiming.
not sure if settings alone will make up for how weird the movement and aiming feel..
Well MW3 has the strongest controller aim assist out of probably any game right now. So it's going to feel different because you have to actually aim.
The Practice Range is bugged because I can't even load into it
Appreciate the video!
was playing all perfectly and 5 to 6 games later this clock with an ! symbol appeared and now i cant get into any game
It’s not a bad free to play game Ubisoft delivered
Why don't competitive games standardise FOV so everyone's on the same page? I've never understood why you're given the option.
Because not everyone likes the same FOV
i mean xdefiant/cod are as casual as it gets. its fine
Super sweaty already.
Yea cuz most people are at work. People playing now are sweaty neckbeards. It’ll calm down
@Corb101 yeah. Been feeling that way. 32 year old gamer, and it’s crazy how things have changed.
I wish I could use the practice mode thing. It’s not available for me rn. I guess there must be some bugs they’re working on or something. I want to try different settings without having to deal with real players yet.
I feel like there is slight input lag, feels very delayed when I’m looking and aiming. The game is fun but it just feels off
Cant get into practice range. Its tough to see enemies and imho hit markers n sound effects are weak .. BUT ! Im actually haveing some fun regardless …
Who's enjoying this game? Drop a like
This game is bugged as hell, and suffer from sudden stutter, the first 2 matches runs at perfect 60fps, but suddenlu just start to drop
Are they going to get something like search and destroy mode?
REMINDER: If you are on PC with a NVIDIA card there was a driver update today as well for xDefiant
OMG THANK YOU I WAS WONDERING WHY IT WAS STUTTERING
I gotchu Gang. I hope it helps.
Is the movement supposed to be as clunky as it is? IE coming to complete stop after a slide and needing to sprint again?
Any setting for left thumb stick cause when I play feels like the movement is slow when moving around
You keep talking about the practice course..Its greyed out for me and i can't load it
When are custom button layouts coming out???
How tf do you go into the practice zone?
Amazing
Anyone else getting visibly shot through the wall but cant do it back ?
The servers are still kinda fucked so it could be desync. But you can also shoot through certain wall materials, like cloth or plywood, the gun you're using might not have good enough penetration.
I’m already level 7 after like 8-9 games I love this game it’s addicting and better than cod imo
Forced objective modes are hurting this game,half of the lobbies ive played in barely play the objective anyway.
anyone else having issues on 2160 resolution, when i try to change it to to 4k game automatically pop into window mode and doesnt allow me to go in 4k resolution
Focus should be on movement. I live the maps, but the movement is a no go.
At least you guys can play the game
I feel like the sens is so slow. I usually play pretty high sens but I have my horizontal at 100 and vert at 40 with .75 aim multiplier

can i ask why its buffering so badly i mean i have a great pc its only on this game it stutters constantly
Sooo… there’s no option for me to change my input to mouse and keys on my Xbox for this game? Or that only in cod and Fortnite???
yo is there any setting to change red dot color to not be the same as the enemies color?
The minimap rotation setting is backwards then.
Controller won’t even work for me without jumping through a ton of hoops. Just putting it down until they roll out some major patches. It sucks waiting a year for a game and it’s not playable
How do you get in the practice range?
Im on PC and its greyed out.
I wish I liked it. Movement feels really odd. Super floaty. And TTK feels weird af. Lots of desync. I hope everyone else enjoys it tho.
Welp, it does have some net code issues, but if you are shooting at someone and they start running, you cant just follow them, you must antecipate your shots. Been doin that, and is pretty normal for me now.
