So your not coming across no hit reg? I’m jw I thought I was bad at this shooter till I noticed my shots just weren’t counting even though I was getting hitmarkers. So I got the DB shotgun to test my theory, 35 ping using a 4090 on a 1440 1ms response monitor. I can shoot someone (get a hitmarker) 180 and let them shoot me in the back and their health is still 100/100. Almost 1/2 of my fights go this way it seems to get worse after about 12 am -5 am. I’ve noticed it’s not so bad in peak hours but still happens. I’m just saying reg is so bad sometimes you can only use weapons that 1 shot and even then you have to dodge around and bhop. Or headglitch and play slow but that really seems to make more irritated. Post up with the acr or the m249. No hit reg is just bad bad rn

I have never seen a CoD player admitting they are playing the most casual shooter in the market, and that they can not play any competitive shooters. Also, when they explain what they want in a shooter they either describe something only CoD does, like killstreaks, or, they describe Escape From Tarkov, a game they probably don't even know exists.

Im 34 years old and have been having so much fun on this game! I have a 6 year old 2080Ti and I came run the game on medium settings at 1440p and hit my monitors 180Hz with no issues. Been using controller so far but plan on trying out KBM soon. Im only like level 20 but it’s been one of those games where I get on it, and I don’t realize that Ive been playing for like 4 hours. On COD, I have to force myself to play it just to unlock some things and don’t even have fun doing it. I recently moved and my internet went from AT&T 375 down 375 up and a 3ms ping to Xfinity 50 down and 10 up and a 23 ping and it still feels good.

Few weeks into playing now. At first I thought the hit reg was super dogshit. Now I realize I had to actually aim and I don’t rly think it’s that bad. I still get killed around corners but all my shots feel clean

My only issue with the game currently is the fact that in a lot of matches I've played, the enemies typically just run Echelon and Vector, it's not every single match, but there was a good stretch my friends and I had to go against pretty much only that combo
The kids who think their sweats and can ape anybody usually wear tht shi , they use a cloak and try swinging EVERY corner 😂 even without a cloak or the ultimate they push like a dummy
The wall hack is actually super fun! You know when you are beings scanned so you are aware somebody is probably coming for you. And they know you know they are coming. So a FIREFIGHT is about to ensue. That is awesome gameplay
I've been wondering whether or not to try Xdefiant to spite Activision and the COD fanboys and especially because it looks promising. Anyone think I should?
Imo, the network has been a bit of an issue for me, a lot of blasted behind walls and delayed kills leading to my death neck of it. But it's a fun game regardless, just needs some smoothening out on some aspects. And sweats are welcome, sometimes you're just not gonna be as good as someone. Just wish I could get some sweats on my own team sometimes 😅
I don't play many AAA FPS games, but all the games I have played for at least a couple hours (CS:GO, CS2, Halo: Infinite and The Finals), the players in XDEFIANT are definitely the last sweaty I've ever seen. Also, hit registration is fine. I'm pretty bad at FPS games, but I noticed that one time I got an instakill because I landed a headshot. That was a nice feeling.
Hit reg is seriously bad on my end rn. It varies from match to match that’s what I don’t understand. And my ping may go from 35-45 but it shouldn’t be a noticeable difference so bad that I have to use one shot weapons just to get a kill. But the DB does help with hit reg you just have to play flanky and I wouldn’t say campy but definitely strategic when the no hit starts flaring
Yes brother I completely agree with you on recoil, I honestly forgot about recoil cause cods been braindead for years, and I was having issue with the ACR the first few days, after I started pulling down on the stick again like I would in AW with the BAL, I was frying again
I'm not a fan of this kind of game, so I have no strong opinion on it beyond 'man the style of this looks like overwatch and counterstrike had a baby'.
Hybrids of games aren’t necessarily bad. You basically just described Valorant and that’s one of the best fps shooters out rn, and before you say anything about it being bad, can you really think of a game out rn that is better competitively than it?
@@Joshy_Poo While true, my point is more "at a glance this looks like a ripoff - why would people play it when they already have the games it's riffing?" it's that whole "I'm going to compete with mcdonalds" dilemma. Personally I looked into it, saw it required UPlay, and stopped looking.
patterns are very important no matter what it is because if you know them you my have insights to know when to do what or how to do it and understand the overall situation that you are in.
Cons: Hit registration and getting shot through walls. Especially getting shot through walls. I can’t count the number of times this has happened. My other problem are the sweats. Not good players, sweats(there’s a difference) I’ve run into so many sweats it’s insane. And the girl with Wallhacks is pretty op. I understand the fact that everybody has special ability’s,but some are clearly better than others. For example who is actually using the cleaners? Playing against the deadsec spider is also pretty bad since if it sticks to you you’re dead no matter what. And bunny hopping gives you superpowers. Pros:The maps are super fun and colorful (I will say tho there are some maps where the spawns are terrible and you get picked off and killed as soon as you spawn). There is an obvious skill gap and you feel yourself getting better the more you play the game. I personally didn’t enjoy the game until hours of playing it. Most guns are viable and usable. The game is very fun. My fav cod game was cod 4
The hit registration is mostly good although I have had a couple of times when I get hit markers and they don't do anything according to post death screen but I'm could just be lag on my part
Hey Sneakycacti, I've noticed that a TH-camr named "brotherbill919four" has been quite toxic, often criticizing Nintendo fans and calling them "Lame Nintendo Fanboys" or "nintendrone corporate slaves." He frequently posts videos and community updates about why the PlayStation Portal is the best or the best-selling accessory. You should probably make a video about him. Keep up the great work! Best, locklc
I just don't understand this thought process they have. "Even if I shoot first, I can mag dumb an the guy doesn't die, everytime" "The enemy players, somehow, don't suffer the same problem" ITS GOT TO BE THE HITREG AN NOT ME
I like the game and am trying to get gud. My main problem is it seems like no one talks in game chat. It at least needs a ping chat system like overwatch.
I have to admit that sometimes the hit registration is a bit wierd with some shots hiting thru walls but overall it's a very fun experience. Realy recomend xdefiant
Imma be honest, the argument that “if you want more realistic movement join the marine corps” is just, dumb. Other than that, great video. Overall, I’ve had a good experience with the game. It’s a really interesting concept that’s executed well. And the fact that it’s free to play is a big plus, helps me to ignore some aspects of the game that are a bit lacking(which hopefully will be fixed in the future)
The counterpoints you make are solid. Though I'm confused on some of the guy's takes, and he really outs himself as a low skill player. Ragging on ESP was the most obvious one. That ability is fun, but it a weaker ability. If you are an FPS vet worth your salt, you should intuitively know where people are 99% of the time. Other than helping me time a shot on someone peaking me, ESP hasn't helped me figure out where people are, and it's the ability I run most, lol. And I simply do that because of the slim character model and utility for lining up a shot, since I don't care about fragging abilities, nor do I need them.
@@Teeski4Wunna look I hate campers as much as the next person but isn't camping made for snipers? Like there should be positions for snipers to have advantages in. Modern warfare 2019 and 2022 was TOO campy for example with snipers and every other weapon
and yeah i don't like the fact that in cod warzore mostly i know that players kills you fast here you can actually become better and you'll not die as fast from the result of it.
I played a little bit of this game I like it I was getting kills like crazy but I'm mostly a single player fan I'm going to jump back on it again but that's mostly what I play is single player games
I personally really like the map design. I'm still learning some of them but they're not overly complicated, there's plenty of cover and alternate routes and they look great. No the gameplay isn't perfect, if that's what you expect, don't play games lol as far as a free fps goes, xdefiant is way better than I thought it would be.
xDefiant is redefining what a casual shooter can be it's well developed it has good shooter mechanics that have an arcadey feel just like arcade shooters it has good maps for good map flow it has grew objectives and good sound design it also doesn't have skill based matchmaking glad you stuck up for this game that dudes crazy trashing a game this good.
I'm also terrible at this game but I just focus on the objective to make it up to my team cause I'm bad at pvp...but no shot I'm gonna trash the game cause I have a skill issue. The game is amazing and I haven't even turned CoD on since I downloaded XD...and honestly I just might never play MW3 again. XD checks every box of how shooters used to be. I actually proposed to XD...but sadly it still haven't given me any answer....lol.
"TTK feels very very long" that's odd it feels pretty average to me. Especially with the way mw3 feels with all the ping and packet loss issues from the sbmm/eomm. In fact when I was playing mw3 multiplayer it felt almost identical to full plates warzone fights to me and it seemed off because mp is supposed to be faster than warzone... Regarding hit registration, no cod I've played has had "good" hit registration. The difference ultimately ends up being why is a f2p game basically on par on launch with a $70 CoD title 6 months into it's life cycle? 😂😂😂 Mfers are just making up reasons to be mad at XDefiant when everyone who has played CoD knows all these problems are just as bad, if not worse in some cases on CoD.
Maybe the hit registration feels ok to you because you have good ping but i gave this game a try and i had around 60-70 ping. That shit was literally unplayable. i would shoot fist hit every shot and get multiple no regs then just die. And that was in like 80% of gunfights.
Xdefiant is the worst fps game ive ever played. Id rather go back to the day 1 patch of 2042. The time to kill is horrible, along with the being killed around corners because the connection is woeful. This game is going to die and it is deserved.
Hey really like what your doing, im currently trying to build up my portfolio with video editing nd short form content editing. If you need an editor for free let me know
It is NOT basically old CoD. Thousand plus hours in every cod from 2007-2012, can verify in NONE of them could you spam bunny hop to become unshootable while maintaining perfect aim on your gun. Running into people who just abuse this mechanic takes the fun out of it. It's a design choice that is a giant flaw. I love getting matched against better players, hate SBMM, have no problem getting stomped and learning. My problem is simply that the game should not reward you for spazzing out on the jump button, with no corresponding penalty. What I wanted was CoD 6v6 with no SBMM. What I got was Halo 2 pretending to be CoD.
You could bunny hop in those games, but it wasn't a strategy used back then..really there wasn't any movement strats at all..we stuck what we knew amd that was the straight up gun fights or camping..."movement" didn't really become a thing until I'd say Warzone..I think it's just the evolution of gun fighting mechanics
@@Themuffinman1820 that's hilarious that you think it was viable and people just simply chose not to use it. What actually would happen is your second jump would be weak and tiny unless you let it cool off for a second - making you a sitting duck - and your aim would be worthless while jumping unless you were quickscoping. It was not a tactic in CoD because the games weren't stupid enough to let it be a tactic. It was totally a tactic in Halo, although it wasn't broken like they made it in xdefiant. You think nobody ever tried just doing the same thing in CoD they did in Halo, until Warzone magically opened our eyes more than a decade later? Xdefiant is designed in such a way that allows bunny hopping to be viable (and beyond). It's a deliberate choice just as much as not including the ability to go prone. They're trying to make it more frantic "arena" type action and they overshot the mark on the jump mechanic by a mile.
@@Themuffinman1820you could jump. You couldn’t spam it with no penalties. Gamers been gaming they didn’t evolve. The games evolved. Halo had mlg sweats that knew every strat and same with cod.
Yes, it takes a lot of skill to combat the skill-based damage. really funny how when i dominate a lobby with sniping my bullets magically do only 90 damage on chest height. Very interesting!
What's probably happening is you get overly comfortable when you're doing good, and you stop focusing on where you're hitting on the body. Snipers only one shot from the *upper* chest and above, so that has a more noticable effect when your aim goes softer and you start hitting stomach shots out of habit
I have 2 Dragon quest XI 30GB It's huge for me, can't wait to finish it so I can delete it and install something else, I still have 185GB of empty space but I don't like my PC full, the other one is Valorant 47GB
Plus points for calling it Vantard, but honestly, recoil patterns suck. CS might be a very popular game, but the patterns being a part of the game doesn't add anything to it. If you're new you won't be able to hit shit and if you're proficient at the game it's a non-issue. They are a thing you have to learn "just because" and not because it adds anything to the game. The aim (hah) of the game is to point your gun at the enemy and hit them. It's like if Dark Souls had directional attack inputs a la Too Human. It wouldn't add anything to the game, it would just make it more frustrating for beginners and anyone else would just use it and go about their business. Adding mechanics for the sake of it is rarely good. I don't like laser guns, but having to drag my aim across 5 different desks isn't fun either. It's much better to have generic deviations which keep range engagements in check for certain guns. Like old CoD was how shooters should handle recoil. None of that NV4 BS.
U are on point with this game tell that Commentator to stop smoking I am enjoying Ex defiant call of duty is going to lose a lot of players this is what we need competition then they’ll get their act together keep up the good work enjoy your stream
People keep saying if you dont like xdefiant you not good. I think its just an ok shooter. To many sweats, alot of rounds are one sided and leveling is slow for weapons and battle pass.
i'm not a player of xdef because of the rly low ttk "compared to other games". the only points he is right on tho is the wallhacks and hit reg (based off twitter clips). the wallhacks are the rly good kinda that perfectly track you just for pressing a button. lame. as for hit reg, i've seen some really bad ones. outside of that, it looks like a fun game but not my style
The hit reg issue can be an sometimes and there few moments that it can get frustrating but it happened to me at least once or twice every 5 matches which I hope they can fix.
I wouldn't mind XDefiant if Mark Rubin hadn't of dog-whistled to CoD babies about SBMM because that's all you hear about it, like a jealous Ex that never shuts the hell up about their previous lay. The irony is that, despite the game being targeted for casual plays, these same mouth-breathing, jaded, Call of Duty fanboys never shut up about SKILL. 'OMG I feel like I'm progressing.' 'OMG the progression feels so natural.' 'OMG it feels so much better.' All this pretentious diarrhea because you're comparing it to Call of Duty when, in reality, it's a mediocre hero-shooter with no ranked mode.
It takes zero skill to mash a jump button everytime you get shot at. Paired with the hit registry rn it’s annoying. Good thing it’s getting nerfed. Hope it takes a note from battlefield and slows you down after the first jump.
These people seem to think that their subjective preference of not liking this style of arcade shooter, that actually requires skill, means that the game is bad. No, this game was not made for you sir, go play something else.
Ok but "high recoil" ? Look at the recoil of siege. That is high recoil. Also a critizism i agree with is that all the guns feel quite similar. Also the "there is no skill based match making " is half true as there is ranked. And the hit registration is very hit or miss as sometimes your bullets feel like they just dissapear and they hit you behind hard cover. Sooo mixed bag
There’s a lot of games I’ve played where I can see why people enjoy it but I just don’t have fun cause I’m not very good at it and I don’t care enough about the game to be bothered to grind it out and get better XDefiant is one of those games. It ain’t a bad game, and I ain’t gonna trash talk it. I’m just not interested enough to grind and get better . I’ve already got my grindey games man. I’ve got Battlefront 2, CarX Drift Racing, and Super Animal Royale. I’m good, fam. I am good
The game isn’t grindy, you’re just accustomed to instant gratification from these sbmm games that algorithmically throw you a free win in order to make you feel good and keep you from logging off.
A take that doesn't shit on the game, and the player just admits their limits and says its not for them because of it? This doesn't belong here good sir.

I was never a great cod player but I never played cod games pre-SBMM and accused everyone of being sweaty. That’s just not true. If every person around you aka the average person seems sweaty then it means you’re just trash….
1:47 no skill base matchmaking my brother in Christ I think that’s the reason you’re bad at the game because you’re not that skilled and you get your shit stormed Xperience players honestly I just hate whether this game is community they see like oh a mould which is option and see it as a negative even though your skill level will be similar to the teammates and your enemies
This game was free and I already have more time played in it than Vanguard and MW2019 combined, and I stopped buying after mw19. CoD has just gone downhill, it takes absolutely no skill anymore, competitive hasn’t been good in years, and pubs were ruined by SBMM.
Question, is it Call of Duty that adds all this bullshit? Or is it Activision hungry for profit that forces all of this stuff into the game. Then lets talk about Ubisoft, they have without question a worse reputation for adding questionable mechanics to their games, whether it be P2W, P2P, SBMM, EOMM, hell even just killing off games servers cause they arent making enough money. So what happens if XDefiant loses all the casual audience, which we already know is happening, and they lose the majority of their income? It wont matter what the Devs want, Ubisoft can just stick in whatever they please and tell the Devs to make it happen or go back to your old job at CoD. And for the record, I am not advocating for CoD, or against XDefiant, merely stating the facts that Ubisoft is at least as questionable as Activison, so how can we put faith in them to stick to their word when they REGULARLY go back on it.
Its funny how he complains about wallhacks when you can have the same thing in COD with a killstreak all game long . The recoil is also easy to control in this game its not that hard
I love that in this game, you can Identify WHO IS the CoD player based on their contribution to playing the objective.
What I hate is that the COD nerds end up on my team more often than not.
Yet xdefiant plays spam advanced movement like CoD players do. I swear xdefiant players are so hot headed when you bring up problems with the game itself then they go straight to "It'S a SkiL IsSuE" even tho the hit detection in this game is a joke, and headshot crits are weak af, the shotgun is ass, AK spring doesn't move when you shoot (its really distracting let alone the inside looks nothing like a real AK), extended barrel (all guns) doesn't make sense, long range damage is weak this game has so many problems that if CoD players are who you are comparing yourself to then that's very telling about who this game is marketed for.

The wall hack is actually super fun! You know when you are beings scanned so you are aware somebody is probably coming for you. And they know you know they are coming. So a FIREFIGHT is about to ensue. That is awesome gameplay
I've been wondering whether or not to try Xdefiant to spite Activision and the COD fanboys and especially because it looks promising. Anyone think I should?
Try it 100%
I would recommend it, it fun
Imo, the network has been a bit of an issue for me, a lot of blasted behind walls and delayed kills leading to my death neck of it. But it's a fun game regardless, just needs some smoothening out on some aspects. And sweats are welcome, sometimes you're just not gonna be as good as someone. Just wish I could get some sweats on my own team sometimes 😅
I don't play many AAA FPS games, but all the games I have played for at least a couple hours (CS:GO, CS2, Halo: Infinite and The Finals), the players in XDEFIANT are definitely the last sweaty I've ever seen.
Also, hit registration is fine. I'm pretty bad at FPS games, but I noticed that one time I got an instakill because I landed a headshot. That was a nice feeling.
Hit reg is seriously bad on my end rn. It varies from match to match that’s what I don’t understand. And my ping may go from 35-45 but it shouldn’t be a noticeable difference so bad that I have to use one shot weapons just to get a kill. But the DB does help with hit reg you just have to play flanky and I wouldn’t say campy but definitely strategic when the no hit starts flaring
Yes brother I completely agree with you on recoil, I honestly forgot about recoil cause cods been braindead for years, and I was having issue with the ACR the first few days, after I started pulling down on the stick again like I would in AW with the BAL, I was frying again
I'm not a fan of this kind of game, so I have no strong opinion on it beyond 'man the style of this looks like overwatch and counterstrike had a baby'.
You described valorant lol
To be fair the movement in this game feels better than cod
@@slickrickwillyjamesfr, way better, smoother, has more flow, the gameplay is actually pretty fast ngl
Hybrids of games aren’t necessarily bad. You basically just described Valorant and that’s one of the best fps shooters out rn, and before you say anything about it being bad, can you really think of a game out rn that is better competitively than it?
@@Joshy_Poo While true, my point is more "at a glance this looks like a ripoff - why would people play it when they already have the games it's riffing?"
it's that whole "I'm going to compete with mcdonalds" dilemma.
Personally I looked into it, saw it required UPlay, and stopped looking.
I have to agree that the hit reg is bad , but it’s gonna be fixed soon as Mark said so let’s hope for a quick update
My series s will actually only run this game at 60 fps i can go 120 on mw3 but on xdefiant it wont let me please help 😢
patterns are very important no matter what it is because if you know them you my have insights to know when to do what or how to do it and understand the overall situation that you are in.
Cons: Hit registration and getting shot through walls. Especially getting shot through walls. I can’t count the number of times this has happened. My other problem are the sweats. Not good players, sweats(there’s a difference) I’ve run into so many sweats it’s insane. And the girl with Wallhacks is pretty op. I understand the fact that everybody has special ability’s,but some are clearly better than others. For example who is actually using the cleaners? Playing against the deadsec spider is also pretty bad since if it sticks to you you’re dead no matter what. And bunny hopping gives you superpowers.
Pros:The maps are super fun and colorful (I will say tho there are some maps where the spawns are terrible and you get picked off and killed as soon as you spawn). There is an obvious skill gap and you feel yourself getting better the more you play the game. I personally didn’t enjoy the game until hours of playing it. Most guns are viable and usable. The game is very fun.
My fav cod game was cod 4
Your not just paying $70 for multiplayer your paying $70 to get a neglected game mode while they focus on x other gamemode and battle royale.
The hit registration is mostly good although I have had a couple of times when I get hit markers and they don't do anything according to post death screen but I'm could just be lag on my part
Hey Sneakycacti,
I've noticed that a TH-camr named "brotherbill919four" has been quite toxic, often criticizing Nintendo fans and calling them "Lame Nintendo Fanboys" or "nintendrone corporate slaves." He frequently posts videos and community updates about why the PlayStation Portal is the best or the best-selling accessory. You should probably make a video about him.
Keep up the great work!
Best,
locklc
I almost hurt myself with my dumbbells while working out, from laughing 😂😂😂
"facing sweaty players with shitty mechanics and shitty guns"..........Skill Issue
Enough with the skill issue comment it's him just being bad call it that
Amazing video, subscribed.
I just don't understand this thought process they have.
"Even if I shoot first, I can mag dumb an the guy doesn't die, everytime"
"The enemy players, somehow, don't suffer the same problem"
ITS GOT TO BE THE HITREG AN NOT ME
I like the game and am trying to get gud. My main problem is it seems like no one talks in game chat. It at least needs a ping chat system like overwatch.
Finally a post kadroolo hasn’t touched
I have to admit that sometimes the hit registration is a bit wierd with some shots hiting thru walls but overall it's a very fun experience.
Realy recomend xdefiant
Imma be honest, the argument that “if you want more realistic movement join the marine corps” is just, dumb. Other than that, great video. Overall, I’ve had a good experience with the game. It’s a really interesting concept that’s executed well. And the fact that it’s free to play is a big plus, helps me to ignore some aspects of the game that are a bit lacking(which hopefully will be fixed in the future)
I’m just tired of the same sniper it’s just too sweaty
People will be mad about a human uav that lasts a few seconds but want k9s & vsats which are more broken & all you need to do is camp..
I think the maps are good a flow nicely, non in specific stand out for me. I’m still learning them
Not sure what happened but your mic cut out when you said "Experience"
Spear of justice goes hard!
The counterpoints you make are solid. Though I'm confused on some of the guy's takes, and he really outs himself as a low skill player. Ragging on ESP was the most obvious one. That ability is fun, but it a weaker ability. If you are an FPS vet worth your salt, you should intuitively know where people are 99% of the time. Other than helping me time a shot on someone peaking me, ESP hasn't helped me figure out where people are, and it's the ability I run most, lol. And I simply do that because of the slim character model and utility for lining up a shot, since I don't care about fragging abilities, nor do I need them.
Just shorten it and call him a peanut, he's obviously a retard
The hit registration is HORRID but I still love this game, it’s amazing.
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT + KEEP POSTING + LOVE YOURSELF + W + GOOD SOCIAL CREDIT + WOULD WATCH ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS IF I HAD TIME!!!
I can’t find matches on this game on my xbox, can someone tell me what i should do?
Might be your area ngl dawg. I play on Xbox as well and I get inyo lobbies before I really even realize
Did he just call the class with wall hacks from ghost recon its from splinters cell what how does he not recognize this!??!?!
Hit registration half and half for me I’ve done 10k dmg with 60 kills and teammates would have 80 kills with like 2k-1.5k less damage than me.
Tbh my only complaint is that there are no high points for sniping
It’s bc they don’t want you to camp in this game 😂
@@Teeski4Wunna look I hate campers as much as the next person but isn't camping made for snipers? Like there should be positions for snipers to have advantages in. Modern warfare 2019 and 2022 was TOO campy for example with snipers and every other weapon
@@Pack52022the logic makes sense but it’s not fun
The game isn't designed for camping.
and yeah i don't like the fact that in cod warzore mostly i know that players kills you fast here you can actually become better and you'll not die as fast from the result of it.
I played a little bit of this game I like it I was getting kills like crazy but I'm mostly a single player fan I'm going to jump back on it again but that's mostly what I play is single player games
This game sounds like destiny pvp without all the supers and abilities and that honestly sounds really fun, definitely gonna check this one out
I personally really like the map design. I'm still learning some of them but they're not overly complicated, there's plenty of cover and alternate routes and they look great. No the gameplay isn't perfect, if that's what you expect, don't play games lol as far as a free fps goes, xdefiant is way better than I thought it would be.
He literally described no SBMM at 4 minute mark. Its not the guns problem lmaoo
Lol the end of the video cuts really abruptly but other than that good video
xDefiant is redefining what a casual shooter can be it's well developed it has good shooter mechanics that have an arcadey feel just like arcade shooters it has good maps for good map flow it has grew objectives and good sound design it also doesn't have skill based matchmaking glad you stuck up for this game that dudes crazy trashing a game this good.
I got banned on mw 2019 bc I dropped 130 kills with a kar98k and an mk2 in shipment
No you didn’t. Everyone drops at least 80 on shipment with anything but launchers. Seeing 130 is normal.
I'm also terrible at this game but I just focus on the objective to make it up to my team cause I'm bad at pvp...but no shot I'm gonna trash the game cause I have a skill issue. The game is amazing and I haven't even turned CoD on since I downloaded XD...and honestly I just might never play MW3 again. XD checks every box of how shooters used to be. I actually proposed to XD...but sadly it still haven't given me any answer....lol.
"TTK feels very very long" that's odd it feels pretty average to me. Especially with the way mw3 feels with all the ping and packet loss issues from the sbmm/eomm. In fact when I was playing mw3 multiplayer it felt almost identical to full plates warzone fights to me and it seemed off because mp is supposed to be faster than warzone... Regarding hit registration, no cod I've played has had "good" hit registration. The difference ultimately ends up being why is a f2p game basically on par on launch with a $70 CoD title 6 months into it's life cycle? 😂😂😂 Mfers are just making up reasons to be mad at XDefiant when everyone who has played CoD knows all these problems are just as bad, if not worse in some cases on CoD.
I changes every gun fight due to hit reg and ghost bullets
Maybe the hit registration feels ok to you because you have good ping but i gave this game a try and i had around 60-70 ping. That shit was literally unplayable. i would shoot fist hit every shot and get multiple no regs then just die. And that was in like 80% of gunfights.
Xdefiant is the worst fps game ive ever played.
Id rather go back to the day 1 patch of 2042.
The time to kill is horrible, along with the being killed around corners because the connection is woeful.
This game is going to die and it is deserved.
Hey really like what your doing, im currently trying to build up my portfolio with video editing nd short form content editing. If you need an editor for free let me know
It is NOT basically old CoD. Thousand plus hours in every cod from 2007-2012, can verify in NONE of them could you spam bunny hop to become unshootable while maintaining perfect aim on your gun. Running into people who just abuse this mechanic takes the fun out of it. It's a design choice that is a giant flaw. I love getting matched against better players, hate SBMM, have no problem getting stomped and learning. My problem is simply that the game should not reward you for spazzing out on the jump button, with no corresponding penalty.
What I wanted was CoD 6v6 with no SBMM. What I got was Halo 2 pretending to be CoD.
You could bunny hop in those games, but it wasn't a strategy used back then..really there wasn't any movement strats at all..we stuck what we knew amd that was the straight up gun fights or camping..."movement" didn't really become a thing until I'd say Warzone..I think it's just the evolution of gun fighting mechanics
I blame the 3 advanced movement cod games for bunny hopping. Bunny hopping wasn't a thing until ww2 after 3 years of jetpacks.
@@Themuffinman1820 that's hilarious that you think it was viable and people just simply chose not to use it. What actually would happen is your second jump would be weak and tiny unless you let it cool off for a second - making you a sitting duck - and your aim would be worthless while jumping unless you were quickscoping. It was not a tactic in CoD because the games weren't stupid enough to let it be a tactic. It was totally a tactic in Halo, although it wasn't broken like they made it in xdefiant. You think nobody ever tried just doing the same thing in CoD they did in Halo, until Warzone magically opened our eyes more than a decade later? Xdefiant is designed in such a way that allows bunny hopping to be viable (and beyond). It's a deliberate choice just as much as not including the ability to go prone. They're trying to make it more frantic "arena" type action and they overshot the mark on the jump mechanic by a mile.
@@Themuffinman1820you could jump. You couldn’t spam it with no penalties. Gamers been gaming they didn’t evolve. The games evolved. Halo had mlg sweats that knew every strat and same with cod.
What is his channels name!
So i tried this game and i wasnt hooked but ill try to play it again
what is the game at 7:55 ?
It's Warhammer 40k: Boltgun. I'm pretty sure it's on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC
Ok why are my comments getting delated
Yes, it takes a lot of skill to combat the skill-based damage.
really funny how when i dominate a lobby with sniping my bullets magically do only 90 damage on chest height. Very interesting!
What's probably happening is you get overly comfortable when you're doing good, and you stop focusing on where you're hitting on the body. Snipers only one shot from the *upper* chest and above, so that has a more noticable effect when your aim goes softer and you start hitting stomach shots out of habit
use the tac 50
@@sneakycacti i'm pretty sure he is, considering the m44s lower torso damage is 70, not 90

Plus points for calling it Vantard, but honestly, recoil patterns suck. CS might be a very popular game, but the patterns being a part of the game doesn't add anything to it. If you're new you won't be able to hit shit and if you're proficient at the game it's a non-issue. They are a thing you have to learn "just because" and not because it adds anything to the game. The aim (hah) of the game is to point your gun at the enemy and hit them. It's like if Dark Souls had directional attack inputs a la Too Human. It wouldn't add anything to the game, it would just make it more frustrating for beginners and anyone else would just use it and go about their business. Adding mechanics for the sake of it is rarely good. I don't like laser guns, but having to drag my aim across 5 different desks isn't fun either. It's much better to have generic deviations which keep range engagements in check for certain guns. Like old CoD was how shooters should handle recoil. None of that NV4 BS.
The hit reg is pretty bad
U are on point with this game tell that Commentator to stop smoking I am enjoying Ex defiant call of duty is going to lose a lot of players this is what we need competition then they’ll get their act together keep up the good work enjoy your stream
I’m loving this game. I haven’t played cod at all. I get a mix of good games and bad games but overall they are all fun
People keep saying if you dont like xdefiant you not good. I think its just an ok shooter. To many sweats, alot of rounds are one sided and leveling is slow for weapons and battle pass.
i'm not a player of xdef because of the rly low ttk "compared to other games". the only points he is right on tho is the wallhacks and hit reg (based off twitter clips). the wallhacks are the rly good kinda that perfectly track you just for pressing a button. lame. as for hit reg, i've seen some really bad ones. outside of that, it looks like a fun game but not my style
The hit reg issue can be an sometimes and there few moments that it can get frustrating but it happened to me at least once or twice every 5 matches which I hope they can fix.
this game made me realize playing on console is impossible
I wouldn't mind XDefiant if Mark Rubin hadn't of dog-whistled to CoD babies about SBMM because that's all you hear about it, like a jealous Ex that never shuts the hell up about their previous lay. The irony is that, despite the game being targeted for casual plays, these same mouth-breathing, jaded, Call of Duty fanboys never shut up about SKILL.
'OMG I feel like I'm progressing.'
'OMG the progression feels so natural.'
'OMG it feels so much better.'
All this pretentious diarrhea because you're comparing it to Call of Duty when, in reality, it's a mediocre hero-shooter with no ranked mode.

Love the game but the net code sucks one game not time to melt the next game like you can’t get enough bullets
It takes zero skill to mash a jump button everytime you get shot at. Paired with the hit registry rn it’s annoying. Good thing it’s getting nerfed. Hope it takes a note from battlefield and slows you down after the first jump.
These people seem to think that their subjective preference of not liking this style of arcade shooter, that actually requires skill, means that the game is bad. No, this game was not made for you sir, go play something else.
Im a call of duty player and Im dominating the lobbies im getting
Ok but "high recoil" ? Look at the recoil of siege. That is high recoil.
Also a critizism i agree with is that all the guns feel quite similar.
Also the "there is no skill based match making " is half true as there is ranked.
And the hit registration is very hit or miss as sometimes your bullets feel like they just dissapear and they hit you behind hard cover.
Sooo mixed bag
HAHA, poor guy, skill based match making couldn’t protect him from the demons. 🤣
There’s a lot of games I’ve played where I can see why people enjoy it but I just don’t have fun cause I’m not very good at it and I don’t care enough about the game to be bothered to grind it out and get better
XDefiant is one of those games. It ain’t a bad game, and I ain’t gonna trash talk it. I’m just not interested enough to grind and get better . I’ve already got my grindey games man. I’ve got Battlefront 2, CarX Drift Racing, and Super Animal Royale. I’m good, fam. I am good
The game isn’t grindy, you’re just accustomed to instant gratification from these sbmm games that algorithmically throw you a free win in order to make you feel good and keep you from logging off.
A take that doesn't shit on the game, and the player just admits their limits and says its not for them because of it? This doesn't belong here good sir.
If you're not good at it then what are you doing you're supposed to get good but yet you keep throwing yourself under the bus
Hit registration isn't perfect but it's a whole hell of a lot better than 90% of games releasing these days
Any cod between 2019 and now is a candidate for worst shooter. XDefiant is a nice break from kill streak farmers

I was never a great cod player but I never played cod games pre-SBMM and accused everyone of being sweaty. That’s just not true. If every person around you aka the average person seems sweaty then it means you’re just trash….

This game was free and I already have more time played in it than Vanguard and MW2019 combined, and I stopped buying after mw19. CoD has just gone downhill, it takes absolutely no skill anymore, competitive hasn’t been good in years, and pubs were ruined by SBMM.

Question, is it Call of Duty that adds all this bullshit? Or is it Activision hungry for profit that forces all of this stuff into the game. Then lets talk about Ubisoft, they have without question a worse reputation for adding questionable mechanics to their games, whether it be P2W, P2P, SBMM, EOMM, hell even just killing off games servers cause they arent making enough money. So what happens if XDefiant loses all the casual audience, which we already know is happening, and they lose the majority of their income? It wont matter what the Devs want, Ubisoft can just stick in whatever they please and tell the Devs to make it happen or go back to your old job at CoD. And for the record, I am not advocating for CoD, or against XDefiant, merely stating the facts that Ubisoft is at least as questionable as Activison, so how can we put faith in them to stick to their word when they REGULARLY go back on it.
