People are calling this the COD killer - but I don't hear anyone talking about what effect the game will have on the likes of tuna, salmon, mackerel, and other aquatic, gill-bearing vertebrate animals.
It did for me too, until I started seeing everyone fucking bunny hopping while shooting all the fucking time. Do devs not add aiming penalties for fucking bunny hopping?
Absolutely. Literally all I want is cod gameplay and no sbmm. Haven't have so much fun in a long time. I don't care about score either, just enjoy it. It is great to just chill from cs2
@@BoogersAndMilk how else will you add a skill gap other than game sense in a fps like cod is it annoying to some sure but as far as a competitive aspect movement is needed for any competitive game like this to be any good
Even if XDefiant falls off, if it's more fun now, then why play COD? We can always stop playing XDefiant and move on to the next fun shooter. While COD sticks with it's horrible matchmaking, I'll just play other games. I just deleted COD last week and I'm excited to at least try playing XDefiant.
To be fair they've also had to do like a year worth of beta testing to get the servers playable and they messed up the entire hype cycle for this game It was supposed to come out like 8 months ago and just kept getting pushed back not that I don't mind delays but they were way too confident with the initial release announcement
Payday 3 took a week or so. And afaik it's still somewhat broken by design as they only allow you to queue into one single heist out of dozens and one difficulty out of dozens at a time. The playerbase broke down quickly and now you can waste many minutes matchmaking and still not get any players to play with you. They fumbled the release of PD3 so bad, it's never gonna recover. That being said such server issues wouldn't exist anywhere at all if it were normal again for us players to host the servers like it used to be normal back in the day.
Ubisoft is a AAA games company so you should expect that there shouldn't be any server-related issues but alas. Pay Day 3 is an indie game but that sucks due to mismanagement and poor decisions.
So far the game is a gem for me. Just needs a tdm. This game really takes me back to the days of CoD when I was a kid, glad I’m getting that feeling back. And more importantly I’m having fun.
I see 3 people that don't understand what a series is. He doesn't literally mean BEFORE YOU BUY a free game, its the name of the series whether or not the game costs money or is free doesnt change that
A game doesn't always need to innovate or have some "ground breaking" new game mode. This game went back to the roots, to an era that we were all longing for. No bullshit shenanigans, just pure action
No no it does, this is boring same junk we've had for the last 10 years. . Why the hell would you want to play the same thing again, it's a game to play because you have nothing else to play and don't even care what your playing. Sorry I G2G there's some paint drying and I got to go watch it
@hutzdani87 I'll play this over a $70 dlc with terrible spawns, terrible maps, horrible ranked infested with hackers and $100+ micros any day of the week.
@@Ccubed92 who gives a crap, trying to play the new cods is like jumping neck deep into a septic tank full of shit and trying to box other ppl in there. They will add more guns with updates. You probably only use like 3 of the best guns in cod at all times anyway.
I'm not kidding, I swear this was on steam like 15 years ago. 6vs6, different maps, shields, f2p.... Then it was pulled from the store. One of the maps even looks the same.
I think the thing about this game is it feels like BO2/Ghost era COD.. and it’s free. Many of us older call of duty fans don’t wanna play these new ones, so this is a perfect opportunity to grab players like myself. I’m all for it.
I was a competitive COD player until ghosts. I loved COD, and played thousands of hours per game. But when advanced warfare came out I completely quit COD and never came back. Tried it again with MW and Cold War, but still just not what I wanted anymore. I think SBMM was my biggest problem with the new ones though.
@@hhaste yeah man, I agree. I cant stand SBMM. Absolutely hate it. Its ruined modern gaming for me. To be able to come to XDefiant and just play however I want, without SBMM pairing me up against elite players, has totally revived my desire to play.
And honestly this review is how I felt in the first hour , then I changed settings and started realizing the flow of the game and how the abilities mesh with and counter one another. Huge Comp and casual potential here .
yeah this guys half assed videos and quick first impressions are worth as much as a rats fart in a tornado. How the f do ppl take anything he says seriously. Since when are tubers opinions highly valued? especially when they casually try something for 1 hour, completely miss the whole fucking point of the game, suck butt at the game, and only cared to try it for a video to begin with? wow some genuine experience being shared right here!
Another generic F2P game with a ton of MTX's that are of course highly overpriced. You are just enabling Devs/Pubs to continue pumping out these lackluster F2P titles. Yeah it will get better with time just like every other game. What matters is if a game releaseds broken, incomplete, etc... or completed and good, not how it is in the future.
@@aaronvasseur6559 not unless enough ppl played it then turns out they piked it more than cod give it some time just like any other new gane out there
Idk, it's nice knowing I can jump in not having to sweat my ass off every game. The gunplay feels good and satisfying. The abilities are fun but don't feel overpowered. I haven't had a moment where I'm like "oh that ability is completely broken" or "that's super annoying and op". The maps are great. The biggest thing this game does that many don't do anymore is communication. The devs actually talk and communicate consistently with the community. A game that has no sbmm, f2p, good gameplay, and devs that communicate. It's a recipe for success.
The Cleaners are a bit overtuned right now, faster TTK with incendiary bullets, 2 one shot abilities (Direct Drone hit and Firebomb) and Purifier is literally uncounterable if popped directly on you lol.
@@TheGuyWithStuff But that doesn't mean much. CoD 4 is not only one of the best CoD titles ever made, but one of the best FPS games ever as well. CoD 4 is significantly better than any of the CoD titles released in the last 5 years. XDefiant might not be at the level of the greatest CoD releases. But it sure beats the current garbage Activision puts out. Current CoD isn't even a game, it is an algorithm.
@@TheGuyWithStuff MW19 is terrible. The last good CoD was Black Ops 4. After that they went all in with the rigged matchmaking and terrible game design.
this game feels like cod back when cod was good. Please try it out everyone. It seems like actual passion went into it, unlike most games ubisoft release these days
Brother idk where you got that this game was made with passion, it feels like vanilla ice cream bought at Walmart. Really good vanilla ice cream yeah, but not a passion product and definitely not ground breaking
The point of no sbmm wasnt to make the game casual. The reason was to make it so your games arent being manipulated. The game is truly random with mm and doesnt feel like ur being forced wins or loses. Once again people dont understand why sbmm is bad and how it manipulates players as its primary function
SBMM is good. Most people are just too stupid to see it. The point isn't to force a 50/50 or "manipulate" the players. It's to keep games balanced and fair. CoD just doesn't know how to implement it and that's where this unnatural hate boner comes from
SBMM is only hated because it makes players who think they're good realise they're not when they get put in lobbies with people of the same skill bracket 🤣
Sbmm does not manipulate players it’s either your bad or your good and then the game matches players similar level to play against it’s a great system always has been it’s just people like to moan because there games are to sweaty oh well get good
@@zoppletee5400 “cod just doesn’t know how to implement it” well yeah they put it in casual game modes instead of just doing ranked like normal people, that’s why people hate it cuz it’s simple shit that’s already been figured out
@@aaronvasseur6559why yes, a lot of people don’t like playing sweaty games, that’s not even a skill issue that’s just “hey, I want to sit back, and enjoy myself” Again this is just shit that should have its own mode
you're way too negative, this game is great, all you did was play the phantoms 90% of the time, the servers were fixed within 2-3 hours and it was because of the 1 million+ influx of players, i don't know if you knew it but networks can only handle that much traffic before it slows down/ has issues, they're using google server hosting, things like that happen
Quick tip. The cleaners passive gives you incendiary ammo at the cost of damage range. Add range increasing attachments to your weapon and you become a force to be reckoned with 🤣
The games servers were fixed in hours, games like payday, cod or battlefield took literal DAYS to fix. This game is free, and a very good one at that. The unique abilitys that characters have grant you advantages depending on the situation your in. Camoflague to flank with or healing to support your team. Game is very well made and to say theres nothing 'positive' is an understatement.
The cleaners are actually really op for damage because of the overtime fire damage, and that drone can one shot or severely damage the whole enemy team if you can aim it properly
Got to agree with you on that. I main echelon but I've died to sooo many cleaners or got backed down due to incendiary ticks. While I can say yea our "uav" normal ability pop is a bit op I think three factions have some sort of great things about em. A good medic ult is severely detrimental on capture while cleaners drone and passives can wreck entire teams if they have a decent gun with range and echelons uav can be spammed if you have 2 or 3 running it and they are communicating when they use it.
Just a note as someone who played both betas, the cleaners I wouldn’t say are useless. The firebomb ability is good for rushing into like a capture point since you explode and ignite the ground around you think like a suicide bomber. And the drones pretty fun too it’s basically a bomb in a straight line that ignites the ground as it moves
@@Jakesgotcakes I was playing earlier today someone threw a mine down on objective, activated fire bomb he literally suicide bombed a quad feed (5 including himself) respect 😂
Call of Duty has ignored many of the things fans have been asking for and this feels like an answer to all that. It doesn't do anything revolutionary, it just gives fans what they want in an acceptable format that could easily be built upon in the future. The 'bones' of this game are super solid and I'm excited o see how they add onto it over time with new guns, modes, maps, etc.
the thing i like about it is it is a life service game and if it has an constant player base i can play it for years and not have to buy the same game every year
@akashmalwatkar6609 you might be right but I have NEVER bought cod for warzone.. warzone is trash .. out of my 500 friends list maybe 2 play wz .. not saying your wrong just everyone I know buys for 6v6 and NEVER plays wz .. full of hackers , lag , loading issues, memory issues , ram issues and on and on ..
I mean yea... it's fine if they keep the current model... this is a good set up for a live service game. No cover charge, interesting cosmetics to keep a steady income coming. Plenty of properties to pull new content from (the guns he went on about, the factions, etc). The core concept has a fantastic setup for Live Service so long as Ubisoft doesn't ruin this one with greed.
Expectations are always high for FPS games and it’s a crowded market, but I find this game far less sweaty than its competitors and has a simplicity that’s refreshing. I think it’ll find an audience.
True man FPS is the most main stream genre of games so anytime a new one comes out the entire gaming industry at least glances at it regardless of who made it.
A guy that plays FPS that doesn't like M16, AKs, and generic stuff. Hey GAMER-WANNABE, it's called CLASSIC. It will never get old no matter what because it's Cool, Iconic, Real, Historic, etc. Go play your 3D pink guns in Watch Dogs 2.
A free game made by a fraction of the devs, and yet it still beats COD into the ground in terms of being genuine fun. It obviously has its own problems, but that fun factor actually existing is nice to have again like how COD used to. And I completely disagree, the hook for the game isn't just no SBMM, but that it's a return to the golden age of arcade COD, which hasn't exist for a very very long time. It has precisely accomplished its goals of what it wants to be, even after the whole Tom Clancy debacle.
Agreed, it brings it back to the old arcade style while bringing new elements. Sure the Black ops 1 and 2 are fun, but they aren't modern and most of them you can't slide and have advanced movement
@TreyBeam Except you can literally be point blank and land a direct hit with a shotgun just to get a hitmarker... yeah the shotguns need to be buffed tremendously.
This is the just the game I've been looking for because I have been wanting to get back into call of duty but I didn't want to play the newer ones because people have not had much good things to say about them and I didn't want to get back into the cycle of buying the new call of duty every year. And the older call of dutys don't have much players and have a terrible hacking situations on PC. I'm really hoping people will still be playing this game years down the line.
Don't. This is just Ubisoft being Ubisoft. Releasing trash f2p games to catch up on trends but it always fails. This won't be different. They will shut the game down in one or two years.
The game has been a fun time. It really reminds me of COD MW3 and BO1 with its gun play. I'm glad this is here as im tried of the way faster paced games of modern COD and some of the BRs we have.
I used to like call of duty, the Devs ruined it, but I'm in love with x defiant at the moment I can't believe the Devs actually care about their community and their opinions
This is a long post, I’m aware lol I think the reason no sbmm is compelling to a lot of people (not all, but definitely me included) is because with sbmm-only all players have their lobbies artificially influenced to lean a certain way. If you start doing consistently well, the game literally puts you in a lobby it thinks you will lose. In my experience with Cod, you don’t experience the same sense of growth in skill because as you get better your lobbies get consistently more difficult. Having no sbmm doesn’t remove sweaty players, sure, but it doesn’t limit you to only playing with sweaty players. Inversely, a lower skilled player has a better time with sbmm because the game is giving them lower skilled lobbies, so I get why people argue for it, that makes sense for a casual player. But that’s why the decision to have an sbmm mode (ranked, etc) as well as a non-sbmm mode makes perfect sense. Both types of players (higher or lower skill) have the OPTION of how they want to play - either luck of the draw or a tailored experience based on skill. It’s less about only having no sbmm, and more about having both options. Everything being sbmm only gives you the tailored experience and players don’t always want that. There are absolutely difficult matches in XDefiant, even being an above average player, but also having the little breaths of fun lobbies where you can casually pop off adds a dynamic to the game and increases tolerance. People lose tolerance with Cod because you rarely get that “breath”. It feels punishing and you miss the reward you feel from improving or doing well. Put simply, you have fun more often when you have the option to choose skill-based vs non skill-based. Hopefully that’s not a super contentious opinion 😅
I'm level 80 in Modern Warfare 3 and I'm consistently thrown into full lobbies of 650's with like one other guy who's less than 100 on the other team maybe. It's something I pop into every now and again and I genuinely just don't have fun like I used to. A big part of it imo is the fact that everyone is running around like Fortnite characters and it takes that additional split second to tell if they're an enemy or not. Back in Modern Warfare 2 the entire team was mil-spec and the other was just jeans, tshirts and du-rags. Easily identifiable silhouettes. Now I gotta find out if the Nicki Minaj is on my team or not. Long story short, SBMM definitely does NOT work. Verifiably doesn't.
@@Hyrule409 yup - even when I stopped playing cod for months and came back after 1 or 2 games when SBMM sees I still have my skill, it shoots me up to the sweaty lobbies and the enjoyment usually goes out the window.
Harsher review than usual. I think when a game doesn't try to be over the top and fits a niche that the community misses, it should get more praise. In a world where the games industry has been going in a direction towards anti-consumerism, a reminder of what we fell in love with about games deserves more love.
idk, in my humble opinion, I am loving the casual feel, randomness, something new, COD has done nothing to brain rot everyone thinking that is the top tier shooter, when they've been literally exploiting the market, cough cough** MW3... BUT I started playing this game with the same mindset I had when I played BO2, just trying to enjoy it instead of the regular overly critical, I feel like as long as everyone puts their 2 cents they can push this game to its potential and polish it right with its time, I don't think is a bad thing with it being a littleee more laid back imo.
I can’t see anyone in this comment section talking about the garbage netcode in this game, probably the worst I’ve ever experienced in any shooter. It feels like I’m playing on an Xbox 360 COD built on an engine from the 90’s. Non existent hit registration, getting shot around corners and while in cover, phantom bullets, dying in under half a second while the enemies are all bullet sponges. While I’m not amazing at this game, it’s happening far too consistently for it to only be a skill issue, and this doesn’t happen to me rarely ever in other shooters. It’s a shame too because the core gameplay is really fun but the poor netcode completely ruins it for me.
Im still baffled that people are raising such a fuss over a botched day 1 Launch of an Online game. Every Single Game that does multiplayer is a Catastrophe on day 1 these days so Xdefiant being Free to Play, thus having a lot of People trying to play it, will be no different if you've ever witnessed one Launch in the last 5 Years
I think Xdefiant, at least on pc, will have his glory days until the hackers swarm it. Ubisoft cant handle the hackers on R6 PC, so play it while you can peacefully.
Like it or not cod is the benchmark for arcade shooters. And he is right its not as well animated or weighted as cod but its still a decent game.@@sharpshoota8274
Lol jokes aside it does seem like that Apex, brawlhalla, cod. People have no lives and dedicate every minute to these games where it's not fun for casual gamers who barely have 7 hours a week to play games .
No SBMM is actually a great selling point, if you manage to well put together other game features. SBMM is cancer that only incentives bad players to stay bad, while buying battle passes and useless bundles. SBMM should be in ranked, that’s it. In casual, no one should be proactively punished for getting better. If you are a bad player, play ranked, there you won’t get stomped on 🤷🏻♂️
So far the game is enjoyable for me, it's free, not a lot of sweats (yet). the art style reminds me a lot of the early Xbox One and PS4 CoD games, but also something about the weapon textures reminds me of the first Homefront game on PS3 and Xbox 360. Also pretty bold to not have the option to prone or ping enemies. I mean it delivered what it said it would and that's a F2P casual shooter. Just hope it isn't abandoned due to low battle pass revenue.
I'm happy to hand over the Euros. I've been playing it daily, but I have refused to play CoD since season 2 of Al Mazrah. Activision/Blizzard can't get a cent out of me... but I can see myself buying credits on a regular basis just to show my appreciation. I had trouble matchmakiing on day 1 but things are cooking now. I'm glad to be grinding their battle pass. That's the very least that any of us can do because in life, we pay for services rendered.
Really fun game! I died a lot but it felt amazing when I got killed. Wish that the dedsec faction was available off the but whatever. Also, I was on console I didn't have that problem with the matchmaking issue, but ig I was playing later in the day so I got on after it was taken care of?
@@prollysage Growing up I had all the call of duty games but no internet, but when I finally moved out and got internet, that was the game that released, so its kind of nostalgic to me because it was the first cod I got to play online
I can see the points your making but I don't want a game with a unique identity, i just want a good ol fashion shooter that plays like cod, but isnt cod. This game meets al of my expectations. Smooth gameplay, some special abilities that dont decide a match but add some variability and simple guns. I understand your sentiment but I disagree with your overall tone of the video. The whole "this game is bland, nothing special" vibe I got from your first impressions is a bit disappointing to me. I hope it doesn't turn people away from it. I really like the game. Sometimes I want to get sweaty hut sometimes I'm tired from working and just wanna play something fun, and this satisfys that. Its a fun game, its not trying to reinvent the wheel, its taking things that work and making a fun game. I don't understand whats wrong with that.
The Finals is by far the most enjoyable online FPS shooter right now. The only issue is the need to work as a team and reported cheaters, but I rarely see them personally
Tbh, I’d rather just play cod, the lack of pings, the lack of score streaks and the limited abilities makes me feel like I am running out of ammo every life, using my secondary and only having one nade per life is super frustrating cause I gotta pick up other peoples guns to keep killing
I feel like SBMM would be more accepted if players were able to see and show off what their skill level is. Streamers seem to bash it mainly because viewers want to see them stomp less experienced players.
SBMM will never be accepted because modern shooters do not use SBMM, they use EOMM, which is designed to farm engagement. Nobody wants their experience controlled by a manipulative algorithm.
@@thatoneswarmdrone6409 wow ur like 1 out of 500 ppl on this page who actually understand whats going on. Ppl dont know how manipulative the newest cods MM models are. Player retention models made to milk the average joe out of a few dollars, at the cost of the game having any redeeming attributes. The only thing good about those games is that if youre absolute garbage at cod, the game will carry you to 1 k/d and you will feel perfectly mediocre. Waste a lot of time stagnantly playing, buy multiple battlepasses.

This game has so much potential and is very good off the rip in terms of baseline content. Imagine the amount of themed guns and characters they can add. Zach from FC3, Marcus or wrench from watchdogs, Sam fisher, R6 siege characters.
Started playing it yesterday and been having fun ever since reminds me of the old cod days and i will continue playing it and the servers are fixed within hours
As someone who is not willing to pay $70 a year just to play cod every once in I definitely want to give this a try since it's free. Last cod I bought was Advanced Warfare.
You rushed to make this video way too fast. Launch day complaints don't even apply now. And you criticise abilities that you never learned to use. You say the cleaners are bad while showing a clip of you deploying their ability into a wall...
That actually made me laugh so hard that was a certified game journalist moment. No seriously the cleaners are meta and super strong this video was rushed like crazy a lot of complaints that dont even apply now. Also i cant believe he said cod feels smoother modern cod is clunky and slow as hell
People are seriously calling this a COD killer? I am sorry, but I think you are really overestimating the intelligence of the average COD player. They will buy COD because they see it on Mountain Dew, dorritos, and everywhere else.

Tried it again with MW and Cold War, but still just not what I wanted anymore. I think SBMM was my biggest problem with the new ones though.
This game feels like what I've wanted CoD to be for the past 10 years. It's actually really fun to play.
It's exactly like black ops 4.
They did what COD refuses to do and it clearly worked.. Activision has ruined CoD.
@@hhaste yeah man, I agree. I cant stand SBMM. Absolutely hate it. Its ruined modern gaming for me.
To be able to come to XDefiant and just play however I want, without SBMM pairing me up against elite players, has totally revived my desire to play.
I fully agree, game is great and will only get better.
So nothing like COD?
And honestly this review is how I felt in the first hour , then I changed settings and started realizing the flow of the game and how the abilities mesh with and counter one another. Huge Comp and casual potential here .
yeah this guys half assed videos and quick first impressions are worth as much as a rats fart in a tornado. How the f do ppl take anything he says seriously. Since when are tubers opinions highly valued? especially when they casually try something for 1 hour, completely miss the whole fucking point of the game, suck butt at the game, and only cared to try it for a video to begin with?

It’s a cod clone that people will play for a month then ignore it’s always the case
Another generic F2P game with a ton of MTX's that are of course highly overpriced. You are just enabling Devs/Pubs to continue pumping out these lackluster F2P titles. Yeah it will get better with time just like every other game. What matters is if a game releaseds broken, incomplete, etc... or completed and good, not how it is in the future.
.
Lmao yeah right
@@aaronvasseur6559 not unless enough ppl played it then turns out they piked it more than cod
give it some time just like any other new gane out there
They did say there are new guns coming every season so maybe the title specific guns you were talking about will be among those.
Idk, it's nice knowing I can jump in not having to sweat my ass off every game. The gunplay feels good and satisfying. The abilities are fun but don't feel overpowered. I haven't had a moment where I'm like "oh that ability is completely broken" or "that's super annoying and op". The maps are great. The biggest thing this game does that many don't do anymore is communication. The devs actually talk and communicate consistently with the community. A game that has no sbmm, f2p, good gameplay, and devs that communicate. It's a recipe for success.
only ability that i think is op is the echelon sonar goggles, but then again i can just use those anyway to cancel it out
The Cleaners are a bit overtuned right now, faster TTK with incendiary bullets, 2 one shot abilities (Direct Drone hit and Firebomb) and Purifier is literally uncounterable if popped directly on you lol.

@@gravity00x yeah but that game was 3+ games ago. It’s definitely the best they’ve made in a while
The point of no sbmm wasnt to make the game casual. The reason was to make it so your games arent being manipulated. The game is truly random with mm and doesnt feel like ur being forced wins or loses. Once again people dont understand why sbmm is bad and how it manipulates players as its primary function
SBMM is good. Most people are just too stupid to see it. The point isn't to force a 50/50 or "manipulate" the players. It's to keep games balanced and fair. CoD just doesn't know how to implement it and that's where this unnatural hate boner comes from
SBMM is only hated because it makes players who think they're good realise they're not when they get put in lobbies with people of the same skill bracket 🤣
Sbmm does not manipulate players it’s either your bad or your good and then the game matches players similar level to play against it’s a great system always has been it’s just people like to moan because there games are to sweaty oh well get good

you're way too negative, this game is great, all you did was play the phantoms 90% of the time, the servers were fixed within 2-3 hours and it was because of the 1 million+ influx of players, i don't know if you knew it but networks can only handle that much traffic before it slows down/ has issues, they're using google server hosting, things like that happen
Quick tip. The cleaners passive gives you incendiary ammo at the cost of damage range. Add range increasing attachments to your weapon and you become a force to be reckoned with 🤣
Dude thank you! I thought my range was worse with the cleaners but this makes so much more sense!
Incendiary virgin
Ooh good one !
The games servers were fixed in hours, games like payday, cod or battlefield took literal DAYS to fix. This game is free, and a very good one at that. The unique abilitys that characters have grant you advantages depending on the situation your in. Camoflague to flank with or healing to support your team. Game is very well made and to say theres nothing 'positive' is an understatement.
The servers are ass wtf are u about 😂
I'm in South Africa and within 2 hours the servers where up and running smoothly once it went down upon launch
bro there’s Fortnite which is also free 💀🙏
The servers have been great. Day one was ass but i been playing and havent had one issue since that day@@Sleepai
You can do the same stuff in The Finals which is also free and it's not by ubisoft.
But I'll give this one a go since it's free
The cleaners are actually really op for damage because of the overtime fire damage, and that drone can one shot or severely damage the whole enemy team if you can aim it properly
Yeah I didn't understand the hate for Cleaners. It's my best class. My gest game was with a cleaner 58:3. They are so OP.
Got to agree with you on that. I main echelon but I've died to sooo many cleaners or got backed down due to incendiary ticks. While I can say yea our "uav" normal ability pop is a bit op I think three factions have some sort of great things about em. A good medic ult is severely detrimental on capture while cleaners drone and passives can wreck entire teams if they have a decent gun with range and echelons uav can be spammed if you have 2 or 3 running it and they are communicating when they use it.
Got killed more getting burned by the cleaners fire than anything else
Yea fire drone is really effective.
Just a note as someone who played both betas, the cleaners I wouldn’t say are useless. The firebomb ability is good for rushing into like a capture point since you explode and ignite the ground around you think like a suicide bomber. And the drones pretty fun too it’s basically a bomb in a straight line that ignites the ground as it moves
I agree and the flame thrower is definetly good
My favorite is the fire bomb, only 5 hours of play but 28 suicide bomb kills
@@Jakesgotcakes I was playing earlier today someone threw a mine down on objective, activated fire bomb he literally suicide bombed a quad feed (5 including himself) respect 😂
The cleaners are great for the escort mode to take the team escorting the robot off the site they’re definitely not useless

Call of Duty has ignored many of the things fans have been asking for and this feels like an answer to all that. It doesn't do anything revolutionary, it just gives fans what they want in an acceptable format that could easily be built upon in the future. The 'bones' of this game are super solid and I'm excited o see how they add onto it over time with new guns, modes, maps, etc.
Definitely reminds me of old school cod. Really enjoying it so far.
It's doing what CoD has failed to do for many years; pure, arcade-y shooter fun. I haven't played a CoD game that's this fun since probably MW 2019.
the thing i like about it is it is a life service game and if it has an constant player base i can play it for years and not have to buy the same game every year
and lets be honest most people buy cod for warzone and grind lodouts now
@akashmalwatkar6609 you might be right but I have NEVER bought cod for warzone.. warzone is trash .. out of my 500 friends list maybe 2 play wz .. not saying your wrong just everyone I know buys for 6v6 and NEVER plays wz .. full of hackers , lag , loading issues, memory issues , ram issues and on and on ..
I mean yea... it's fine if they keep the current model... this is a good set up for a live service game. No cover charge, interesting cosmetics to keep a steady income coming.
Plenty of properties to pull new content from (the guns he went on about, the factions, etc).
The core concept has a fantastic setup for Live Service so long as Ubisoft doesn't ruin this one with greed.
@@baphomeatYea they gotta move like Fortnite in terms of season pass cosmetics but not something that gets you better weapons like cod
Then Ubisoft decides to shut down the game one day and remove it from all game stores 😓😵
Expectations are always high for FPS games and it’s a crowded market, but I find this game far less sweaty than its competitors and has a simplicity that’s refreshing. I think it’ll find an audience.
True man FPS is the most main stream genre of games so anytime a new one comes out the entire gaming industry at least glances at it regardless of who made it.
Games sweatier then warzone bro but still fun
A guy that plays FPS that doesn't like M16, AKs, and generic stuff. Hey GAMER-WANNABE, it's called CLASSIC. It will never get old no matter what because it's Cool, Iconic, Real, Historic, etc. Go play your 3D pink guns in Watch Dogs 2.
I’m really enjoying XDefiant and haven’t had any issues so far it’s very unique and fun to play
Unique? Lol how? Is this how people who are in denial end up dealing with things?
'very unique' I like the game but I couldn't think of anything more generic lmao
You have to be a bot. Unique? Fr?
It’s unique how generic it is that’s for sure. Like the ultimate generic FPS game
A free game made by a fraction of the devs, and yet it still beats COD into the ground in terms of being genuine fun. It obviously has its own problems, but that fun factor actually existing is nice to have again like how COD used to. And I completely disagree, the hook for the game isn't just no SBMM, but that it's a return to the golden age of arcade COD, which hasn't exist for a very very long time. It has precisely accomplished its goals of what it wants to be, even after the whole Tom Clancy debacle.
Agreed, it brings it back to the old arcade style while bringing new elements. Sure the Black ops 1 and 2 are fun, but they aren't modern and most of them you can't slide and have advanced movement
I played it the night it dropped and got into matches all night no problem.
I played it a few times with the beta or free play before launch, then played it yesterday after it released and man it didnt dissapoint
Sniping in this game is so satisfying goddamn
Shotgun is fun too but I wish it had just a bit more range, you really have to pick your fights and where they take place
@@AGC4that’s how shotguns should be …. Stay your ass on cod if you want those 1 tap across the map bs.
@TreyBeam Except you can literally be point blank and land a direct hit with a shotgun just to get a hitmarker... yeah the shotguns need to be buffed tremendously.
@TreyBeam so snipers are meant to be run and gun with as well? If snipers aren't realistic then I don't see why shotguns should be realistic.
I hate snipers.
I equipped *The Oppenheimer* and wiped the arena off the map on my first try.
This is the just the game I've been looking for because I have been wanting to get back into call of duty but I didn't want to play the newer ones because people have not had much good things to say about them and I didn't want to get back into the cycle of buying the new call of duty every year. And the older call of dutys don't have much players and have a terrible hacking situations on PC.
I'm really hoping people will still be playing this game years down the line.
Don't. This is just Ubisoft being Ubisoft. Releasing trash f2p games to catch up on trends but it always fails. This won't be different. They will shut the game down in one or two years.
The game has been a fun time. It really reminds me of COD MW3 and BO1 with its gun play. I'm glad this is here as im tried of the way faster paced games of modern COD and some of the BRs we have.
Its like a FREE Call of Duty multiplayer! They need to throw down a Search n Destroy Mode
I used to like call of duty, the Devs ruined it, but I'm in love with x defiant at the moment I can't believe the Devs actually care about their community and their opinions
This is a long post, I’m aware lol
I think the reason no sbmm is compelling to a lot of people (not all, but definitely me included) is because with sbmm-only all players have their lobbies artificially influenced to lean a certain way. If you start doing consistently well, the game literally puts you in a lobby it thinks you will lose. In my experience with Cod, you don’t experience the same sense of growth in skill because as you get better your lobbies get consistently more difficult. Having no sbmm doesn’t remove sweaty players, sure, but it doesn’t limit you to only playing with sweaty players. Inversely, a lower skilled player has a better time with sbmm because the game is giving them lower skilled lobbies, so I get why people argue for it, that makes sense for a casual player. But that’s why the decision to have an sbmm mode (ranked, etc) as well as a non-sbmm mode makes perfect sense. Both types of players (higher or lower skill) have the OPTION of how they want to play - either luck of the draw or a tailored experience based on skill. It’s less about only having no sbmm, and more about having both options.
Everything being sbmm only gives you the tailored experience and players don’t always want that. There are absolutely difficult matches in XDefiant, even being an above average player, but also having the little breaths of fun lobbies where you can casually pop off adds a dynamic to the game and increases tolerance. People lose tolerance with Cod because you rarely get that “breath”. It feels punishing and you miss the reward you feel from improving or doing well.
Put simply, you have fun more often when you have the option to choose skill-based vs non skill-based.
Hopefully that’s not a super contentious opinion 😅

@@opszn7790 so am I a president who writes yappanese or am I the yappenese president? I’m confused but I’ll take either
This is a great point.
I'm level 80 in Modern Warfare 3 and I'm consistently thrown into full lobbies of 650's with like one other guy who's less than 100 on the other team maybe. It's something I pop into every now and again and I genuinely just don't have fun like I used to. A big part of it imo is the fact that everyone is running around like Fortnite characters and it takes that additional split second to tell if they're an enemy or not. Back in Modern Warfare 2 the entire team was mil-spec and the other was just jeans, tshirts and du-rags. Easily identifiable silhouettes. Now I gotta find out if the Nicki Minaj is on my team or not.
Long story short, SBMM definitely does NOT work. Verifiably doesn't.
@@Hyrule409 yup - even when I stopped playing cod for months and came back after 1 or 2 games when SBMM sees I still have my skill, it shoots me up to the sweaty lobbies and the enjoyment usually goes out the window.
Harsher review than usual. I think when a game doesn't try to be over the top and fits a niche that the community misses, it should get more praise. In a world where the games industry has been going in a direction towards anti-consumerism, a reminder of what we fell in love with about games deserves more love.
idk, in my humble opinion, I am loving the casual feel, randomness, something new, COD has done nothing to brain rot everyone thinking that is the top tier shooter, when they've been literally exploiting the market, cough cough** MW3... BUT I started playing this game with the same mindset I had when I played BO2, just trying to enjoy it instead of the regular overly critical, I feel like as long as everyone puts their 2 cents they can push this game to its potential and polish it right with its time, I don't think is a bad thing with it being a littleee more laid back imo.
I can’t see anyone in this comment section talking about the garbage netcode in this game, probably the worst I’ve ever experienced in any shooter. It feels like I’m playing on an Xbox 360 COD built on an engine from the 90’s. Non existent hit registration, getting shot around corners and while in cover, phantom bullets, dying in under half a second while the enemies are all bullet sponges. While I’m not amazing at this game, it’s happening far too consistently for it to only be a skill issue, and this doesn’t happen to me rarely ever in other shooters. It’s a shame too because the core gameplay is really fun but the poor netcode completely ruins it for me.
I agree rn. The gameplay is amazing but the amount of deaths from the trash net code is awful man
I don’t have any of those issues lol

@@kcisthe1st yeah, but also everyone has youtube or watches streamers so they know meta and how to play
No SBMM is actually a great selling point, if you manage to well put together other game features. SBMM is cancer that only incentives bad players to stay bad, while buying battle passes and useless bundles. SBMM should be in ranked, that’s it. In casual, no one should be proactively punished for getting better. If you are a bad player, play ranked, there you won’t get stomped on 🤷🏻♂️
This game is basically an itch scratcher for people who like CoD, so not really anything groundbreaking in the FPS market itself.
So far the game is enjoyable for me, it's free, not a lot of sweats (yet). the art style reminds me a lot of the early Xbox One and PS4 CoD games, but also something about the weapon textures reminds me of the first Homefront game on PS3 and Xbox 360. Also pretty bold to not have the option to prone or ping enemies. I mean it delivered what it said it would and that's a F2P casual shooter. Just hope it isn't abandoned due to low battle pass revenue.

You can buy things that are free
I absolutely love this game, no prone, no sbmm, no killstreak reward deaths, just pure rush and gunplay
I'm happy to hand over the Euros. I've been playing it daily, but I have refused to play CoD since season 2 of Al Mazrah. Activision/Blizzard can't get a cent out of me... but I can see myself buying credits on a regular basis just to show my appreciation. I had trouble matchmakiing on day 1 but things are cooking now. I'm glad to be grinding their battle pass. That's the very least that any of us can do because in life, we pay for services rendered.
Really fun game! I died a lot but it felt amazing when I got killed. Wish that the dedsec faction was available off the but whatever. Also, I was on console I didn't have that problem with the matchmaking issue, but ig I was playing later in the day so I got on after it was taken care of?

You should create a new segment for games that are free-to-play.
And you can call it: "Before You Try"
I feel like SBMM would be more accepted if players were able to see and show off what their skill level is. Streamers seem to bash it mainly because viewers want to see them stomp less experienced players.
SBMM will never be accepted because modern shooters do not use SBMM, they use EOMM, which is designed to farm engagement. Nobody wants their experience controlled by a manipulative algorithm.
