Now I know overall I'm not truly leaving XDefiant yet because the game means everything to me, Its so little being done regarding the content and its becoming all too repetitive. How do you all feel about the state of XDefiant? You still play it?
After playing that map literally 10,000 times, I'm over it. COD is the same old thing, over and over, they won't properly address cheating, and do ridiculous gimmicks like King Kong vs Godzilla. I don't understand the appeal. Most people just want to play a FPS match. People who need a competitive FPS to be something more than a straightforward FPS game are the kind of people you will never please, no matter what you do. But aside from creating new maps from time to time, XDefiant is precisely what it needs to be. A FPS game for people who actually want to play a FPS game, as opposed to something like Fortnite, with its frequent crossover nonsense and building stuff in a FPS game. It is like a bad acid flashback. I also really just don't like BR. Because I am a tactical player, and apply actual real world combat tactics, BR is just me sitting on the toilet for half an hour, waiting for the only other remaining player to come looking for me so I can shoot them in the face when they open the door. Without a real objective, FPS games are just a pointless crapshow. Like going back in time to the UT '98 days when people were just so enamored with playing a FPS game online, they didn't need purpose to enjoy the game.
It’s OK to have a break from a game. From what Mark Ruben said a little while ago, they’re quiet because they’re working hard on the future of the game. Ubisoft is always quiet for long periods while they’re working on stuff and only come out with marketing when they’re ready for it and it’s in the marketing plans. The game does feel a bit stale at the moment but it’s a great game. I’m taking a mellow approach to it and will patiently wait.
@@zekaeh9250I love how people bought into Marks bs. He outright lied to everyone and knew the plug was coming but they wanted as much $ before announcing the cancelation. I know it's cool to shit on COD but Ubi is literally worse and outright lied to their fans over and over again
The Halloween event combined with no 2XP made me concerned about the game, they need to give some HEAT s3, in terms of the future,I’m questioning things too bc it’s been all slow lately much love
Still playing and expect to continue. Cant blame you when talking content though. As for me I just sit down in the evening, turn my brain off and chill. Tailwinds my man 🙌
Oh 100% man. I love that we can ultimately turn our brains off and vibe. I just don’t think content wise it’s not much I can do. (Don’t want to become a class setup channel)
Everhone who said black ops 6 would kill this game were right. It definitely didn't exactly die, but its become utterly irrelevant. UA-camrs that make xdefiant content get like damn near no views anymore. Black ops 6 is booming on console, i get sub 20 ping games. Xdefiant hasn't given me one bellow 60. This game may not be "dead", but its barely alive, lazily holding on. Ttk is still long, guns are unappealing, movement is still jarring, content is drip fed and infrequent, changes are often meaningless or only harmful, the game has no understanding of balance, maps are terribly designed and the game gets updated as frequently as minecraft lmao. I think the only people motivating anything for xdefiant or against bo6 are like cod content police like Blame Truth or NeroCinema. They're like the only two people who managed to rage bait communities cod to keep xdefiant on life support. Ngl, if Blame Truth stopped making videos cods player count would explode and xdefiant would die. That man child is the only one loud enough to motivate some people to continue playing a game that would die of they stopped for a week. Obsession and hate against cod is what keeps it alive imo. Update: Its dead. It died. No one should be surprised. This game was a failure from the start.
@ZiiYT deleted the game after I tried that diarhea halloween event. Was gonna grind the 50 ach, but nah it ain't worse it. Ubislop needs to go bankrupt
When bo6 dropped I took a long break from Xdefiant but SBMM in COD is making me so frustrated that I went back to XD. I agree with you about content, there's nothing to do other than grind the battle pass and get the new mastery camo and that's just not enough. We need MUCH more frequent updates
I thought they did something with the movement last time I played the game. It seemed like I was running in mud or with weighted shoes on that was one turn off for me that made me decide not to touch the game again on top of everything else, including Nerf weapons, I think it pisses a lot of people off when you get a weapon set up that you’re very comfortable with and you like it and then they completely destroy your set up by changing the power of the weapon. Why bother leveling everything up if they’re just going to destroy what you’ve created
That's funny because I like the fact you can't slide very far or jump 10 ft in the air. It is an authentic gameplay experience that is desperately needed because CS2 is the only other modern FPS game that doesn't use superhuman physics. Because of the popularity of CS2, I don't see XDefiant going anywhere. There are enough players out there who don't want gimmicks. I really like BL3 because you feel like a god. But I don't want those kind of mechanics in a competitive FPS.
I feel everything you're saying. I also love this game and I played every single day until about 2 weeks ago. I still log on every day to help in any way I can...but I can't force myself to play. I'm just giving it a break for a little while. I'll never talk down on it though. Just hit the pause button and come back when that itch comes back. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Sucks to hear man. But hey I don't think its dying any time soon and make sure to come back if you ever feel like it. It's a shame we have to be so patient with content. But idk if you saw - Mark said that their main focus right now is just getting the game into a good spot gameplay-wise and that they're gonna focus on the content and marketing for seasons 3 and 4. If you think about it, it doesn't make sense to put so many resources into making a bunch of content while the netcode sucks as people will have a bunch of content AND a shitty experience. Unfortunately we'll need to wait a little longer but I wouldn't lose hope yet
I took a 2 week break, logged in for new battle pass, finished it and did not login since then. There is nothing for me to do in game. I dont want to play with same gun for 500 hours to unlock all the skins. I did play Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022 I dont have polyatomic on all the guns.
It is an online FPS. It doesn't need 'content'. The problem here is your inability to enjoy a game for what it is. You constantly need something new because you're addicted to new content. CS:GO and CS2 are great examples of FPS games that are/were popular without doing all the gimmicks that Fortnite and COD do.
Not gonna lie, brother; I spent a lot less time on the game when my ACR got dumpster'd. I felt like every weapon was in a balanced spot but the designer of the LVOA was upset it wasn't the most used AR in class and needlessly nerfed two fan favorites after they had already taken away our rapid-fire barrel. I still play now and then because I like the M4 but needless nerfs and no substantive content is a bad combo for any live service game. As long as you stay true to yourself you'll never fail. Stay blessed my friend.
XDefiant is fine. If you need all that flash, gimmicks and special events to enjoy a FPS game, go play COD and leave XDefiant to the purists. XDefiant is basically Ubisoft's answer to CS2 and you don't hear CS2 players complaining because they want a pure FPS experience, free from flash and gimmicks. As an OP online FPS player who was there at the beginning, I applaud Ubisoft for not pandering to the ever changing whims of children. Not going to get killed by Peter Griffin or any other ridiculous crossover character. I like the Snowdrop engine and the fact that XDefiant doesn't give you superhuman abilities like being able to slide halfway across the map or jump 10 ft in the air. If XDefiant dies, I'm probably going back to BF1 and BFV, especially since EA finally decided to address cheating. I'll also probably be playing a lot more Enemy Territory. Still active. Still popular enough to get a match. I played it a ton back in the day. While I had played UT some, ET was the first online FPS I played routinely. Doesn't get more pure than that. Even though it is easy to cheat in the game, virtually nobody does because they are purists who understand that a stolen victory is really a loss, i.e. not many kids playing. No clout to be had from cheating your way to the top.
They don't want to promote XD before it's worth promoting. They don't want what happened at launch to happen again, they can't survive that twice. That is why there is no promotion. And that is not just something I make up, that is straight from Mark himself. You could go ride the CoD wave for a few months, have look back around Xmas for season 3. Or you could go to another game, finals or whatever. You could also just branch out and do more than one game.
I just started playing XDefiant and it is a refreshing change from COD. It gives me what I am looking for in an online FPS - competition. It isn't bogged down in gimmicks like COD. It doesn't make you superhuman. Being a reactive player isn't going to do much for you, unlike nearly every other online FPS out there. If you don't have a tactical mindset in XD and can't plan ahead, you aren't going to enjoy the game.
I know I'm late to the party, but yeah it definitely does feel like the devs just gave up and abandoned their community. Theyre hardly pushing out any new content, not pushing out any patches, and just letting their game die. It's sad because the whole reason I supported this game was because of the dev team.
But the developers also have to understand it's not about just the fun of the game but also the appealing of what they see what allows them to play even longer
Sounds like you’re burnt out playing the game, if you wanna succeed as a pro content creator, you need to find out what’s hot, and make a video doing something that others won’t do, or something that got people saying HOW THE HELL did he do that, put a bunch of short videos out there to see what the people gravitate to. I think your good and I want to see you succeed, do what you want with the info
1:01 I honestly felt the exact same way, but I also felt like not mentioning to my friend to hop on xdefiant cause I feel like it will become boring after an hour (and we’ve played xdefiant during the early beta days) Now I know Mark said they’re working on the technical side to make the netcode better overall, but if S3 is still barebones on content and they’re still having issues with netcode I dont think I’ll hop on till S4 or later until the game has some actual replay value, not just mind numbingly camo grinds
Based opinion from a reactive FPS player. XDefiant simply isn't the game for you and it doesn't need to change to suit your desires. You simply need to go play COD instead. XDefiant is for the sort of FPS players who love CS2 and hate Fortnite.
They really don't. If you want that, go play COD. Plenty of people like XD for what it is. CS2 is hugely popular and they have 7 maps, never add any new content and people are OK with that because a lot of people aren't looking for what you're looking for. People who aren't addicted to new content. People who are actually trying to enjoy playing a competitive game instead of trying to gain clout to impress their friends. The thing about COD games is that, when you are a good player, you rank up and quickly realize that every match has more cheaters than legit players. I was into CODM for awhile but when the World Championships were won last year by cheating, I was done. I tried Whorezone once. They were doing that ridiculous King Kong vs Godzilla thing and the whole match turned into something like a bad acid flashback. When I was taken out by an opponent that appeared as nothing more than a disembodied set of legs, I knew that, after 2 decades of playing COD games, I would never touch another one again.
I feel you man,it got to the point for me where I wasn’t even mad about the nerfs even tho I disagreed with almost all of them. I just got fed up with Ubi not giving us content or fixing bugs fast enough. Also It takes far too long for me to find games no matter what I do,and when I do 90% of the lobby I’ve played before already and/or it’s a map I refuse to play like Attica or mayday. Then you have ppl more or less calling us liars like “But it takes me 2 seconds to find games I’m on the same server as you”. Just really doesnt look good for the community or the game imo. The call of duty comparisons irritate me as well. I’m not even a die hard fan of the series,I actually like Xdefiant more,but the issues over there don’t compare to the ones in Xdefiant and most if not all actually get fixed,and quickly. Not defending cod on that but still. I really wanted Xdefiant to succeed along with the community but gah damn man Ubi fumbled big time
I quit playing it a while ago it was just so disappointing to me with everything you mentioned like the lack of support and all that ,but great video brother I enjoyed it
As there's very little to play for, and I'm not the best in terms of ability, I stepped away several weeks ago. After reading up extensively on the forthcoming season three/four leaks, it just doesn't seem exciting enough to hold my interest for any extensive amount of time. At its core lies a fantastic FPS that rewards fundamentals (when the stars align and things work properly), but again, that key element that keeps players playing -- something to strive for, to play towards -- just isn't there. I'm afraid slow and steady might not win this race.
xDefiant is as good as cod, objectively it's even better because it's free. But it's just not relevant the way cod is and it's development team dropped the ball. The game doesn't feed you a sense of accomplishment. You aren't earning scorestreaks for your hard work, you aren't unlocking skins and camo's, there's no in-game banter between players, the search and destroy mode is super boring, some of the abilities are just a pain to deal with (the turret 💀), you can't look up other peoples combat records. A lack of notable content creators playing it, no pro-league ...all this stuff killed the game.
The game shouldn't need to 'feed you a sense of accomplishment'. You're just a broken person who can't enjoy the sense of accomplishment from winning a match. You're lazily looking to be spoonfed some BS trophy or need constant new content to feed your content addiction. Content creators shouldn't make or break a game. I feel sorry for you if you need their opinion to make a decision. As for pro-league, well that's a joke in COD because there are so many cheats. They couldn't even keep cheating out of the CODM World Championships last year. If XD gets boring at some point, I'll just switch to BF1 or BFV for awhile. I'm just looking to have some fun and XD does that for me. I'm not looking for clout or trying to impress my friends. I also don't want to have to put 8 hours a day into a game just to stay competitive and keep up with events and grind for new weapons. By contrast, I got MVP like 3 matches into XD. I don't want nonsense like King Kong vs Godzilla and BR is so 2016. It is nothing but a time-suck. If they would just add controller support to CS2, that's probably all I would play. Apparently the CS2 devs haven't noticed that controllers have gotten way better in the past 2 decades and is now the best way to play a FPS game🤦♂
@zii I just hope that the developers can understand, in The gamers direction that X defiant is super easy to save. And they shouldn't have to be afraid to take ideas from other video games that studios have worked on it's the whole point of creativity with made-up creativity 😭
I think the one thing that is definitely killing XDefiant so that they have no hard-core mode. Furthermore, for a casual player, not the casual players you see in the videos because they always instantly locked onto the heads of their targets (not a casual player more meaning to a pro player with the lock on). Those are not casual players casual players normally hit a lot of body shots. Sometimes they zone and on the heads not instantly nobody likes pumping in a half clip to get a kill and then even after the updates, it’s nothing but trade kills and hit markers. Still have problems with people shooting around corners after 440+ hours, I decided to never touch the game again until I see a hard-core mode ( for those who don’t understand what hard-core is one shot to the head at the most three shots to the body) not spent all day and unload a half clip to make a kill. Until I see that they have added a hard-core mode I am not touching the game. It’s a waste of my time. Also the ridiculous prices for any add-ons that you might want let it cosmetic or whatever not paying those prices especially just to change appearance down to five to $10 sure but not 20 and 30. When I see these changes, take place or see them in a video because I don’t even have the game installed anymore. Maybe I’ll come back.
Have you played the game recently? I just started yesterday and have already gotten a few OSOKs. TTK can be a bit long for body shots but that's the way it is IRL when someone is wearing combat armor. You simply want a different type of gameplay and that's OK. Expecting every game in existence to morph to suit your desires is not OK. XDefiant is one of about 4 popular FPS games that appeal to people who just want to play a FPS match without a bunch of flash. If you want absolute realism (most people don't consider that fun), go play PUBG and stop ragging on XDefiant. I can't play PUBG myself because it is too much like being in a real gunfight, which triggers my PTSD. When I found myself dodging King Kong and Godzilla while dogfighting a F-86 in a T-6, I knew my COD days were over. XDefiant was like a breath of fresh air for me. Focused on the game, not the gimmicks.
The games not even in a bad spot especially after the recent update and all the content there working on is coming out in season 3 and the ak and acr needed a nerf everything else is balanced for the most part ?
They also need to create attachments for for body shots for all the weapon types they also need to make up brand new movement mechanics they make the game more funner
I have no idea what they are doing, any other dev would have used this opportunity to have the event be a test for an upcoming mode they were working on, but they're working on nothing, so many IPs and they're doing nothing with it, they could have released a 8-16 player rabbids infection gamemode or something but all they did was make a few skins and call it quits
As a casual I like it. I played when it came out and stopped for a while. Not for a specific reason I’m just not into competitive shooters. 1) changing the maps doesn’t do anything for me. New maps is always good but don’t change pre existing maps. Personally, I don’t care about holiday themes. 2) I feel like every shooter has a balancing problem. There’s always one gun/class that’s favoured over others. 3) call of duty isn’t good anymore imo and it’s so much money. This is a good cheap alternative imo. To conclude I like it how it is personally as a casual player. If you no longer have fun take a break and if you still don’t have fun change game. This is all just imo as a casual don’t come at me.
The cheater problem is killing the game. If they banned everybody using a chronus and color bot you’d see the player count dwindle dramatically. It makes ranked absolutely unplayable and if you see anybody with a higher rank than silver it’s immediately suspicious. Ubisoft is literally hiring for an anti cheat dev and if anybody wants to save this game go apply.
@@KingZerverThe majority of players are pretty bad. It’s like their minds can’t physically grasp how good players play without resorting to calling them cheaters.
@@pubplays368 agree man ofc there are cheaters but is so ez to identificate who are because all of them move like bots and they do preaim unusual spots so clearly they have walls and little soft aimbot
AK and ACR nerf is the biggest fail for me. It feels waaaay too slow now. And also the FPS (PC) feels not good anymore. They fixed it a bit but it is still not good. Idk what is going on with them but I will not grind it anymore like before. I was really hyped for S2. Good Video, have a good one :)
Just started playing the game yesterday and it is a breath of fresh air. No sliding halfway across the map; no jumping 10ft in the air. You're just too used to playing games that give you superhuman abilities. As for how the game runs, I didn't notice any stutter or lag playing at 1440p medium with a 120fps cap on a RX6600. If you wanna grind, play COD. I like that I can just jump in the game and have some fun for an hour without having to grind.
Honestly, xdefiant is dead. I played so much in preseason i even brought the battle pass. Now that bo6 and warzone 4 just dropped there's not much players online.
They also need to work on giving us more than just two maps we need five maps at best at least maps with different environmental graphics like cartoony type graphics and the basic type graphics
Why do they care about the gun and not about the game, only caring about the store to make money Bro, then why did they release the game in the first place if they won't even care nor try to make it special for holidays and such. Some other free games they do it, why can't Ubisoft I guess they're just soft.
I have to admit, I have been pretty die hard for this game, I mean I'm nowhere near your playtime (500+ hours is alot, wow) Just the fact that people arent really liking the game, and it does feel like people are moving away from it. Its hard to have a solid shooter, esp a comp scene when the game isnt popular. I honestly cant even tell why it isnt more popular honestly. Its pretty solid imo But I have been playing a bit more Warzone and I hate to admit, I may just go back
God Bless you brother Jesus Christ is King Love at the end of the day if the video game do not make u happy don’t play it and ultimately it’s just a game keep spreading the love of God brother.✝️
Kinda feels like they do not really care about the weak points and also the skins are so damn expensive! 30€ for a single echelon skin + 2 weapon skins for weapons i dont use?! + I am so sad they nerfed the ak47 it was a beast! My way to go is the tac-50. but bo6 in the game pass! I need longer now to find any lobbys... I dont get it! do the people actually want sbmm?! Maybe they come back to xdef when they realize sbmm still sucks ... hope so
So sad that they arent putting any effort into the game I thought this game was going to be great every update it keeps getting more dry. im honestly switch to the finals or something
Moved to BO6 even though the game is very frustrating, has terrible map design, and eats more of my PC Specs (much harder to run than XDefiant) at least it has a lot more things to do more to learn and something that you can grind for and most importantly playerbase and content (Matchmaking is much quicker on BO6). I really like XDefiant since it is very fun but in the current state it is not that enjoyable as it first launched and I recently uninstalled it.
FR. And you don't need daily new content. Or much new content at all. If you need that to enjoy playing a game, I strongly advise addiction counseling.
Lmao the state of Xdefiant is 10/10 better than BO6. BO6 is being ran to the ground with hate and backlash in how shit it is. Ppl really be hating on the decent games over the “popular” franchise only to cry and complain when the game finally drops and it’s horrible and unplayable
we already seen what BO6 is already and its going to stay like that, like its not good at all but Xdefiant will slowly but surely getting their, dude they got a shit ton of shit coming, dont u get it!!!! mark didnt want to drop all the decent shiit right away, hes cooking slowly but surely just give it time
Right. If he dropped everything now then they would still be complaining about that. People cant just be patient. Play the game for what it is right now.
I like cod but they merged it with bo6 and now its too big of a download i cant play it, i would have to get rid of gta5 to be able to have cod downloaded. So ive been playing the finals and i just found xdefiant yesterday i like it so far. A very decent replacement for cod for me
I don’t care about all the little stuff right now. Continue building the foundation, add all the filler crap later. You played 500 hours on a barebones game. It’s only up from here. I think the new camo is plenty to grind for right now for me but I also only have 120+ hours
Try streaming Cod, its not sll sunshine and rainboys but its just as fun if not better? And its continuously updating.. they'll have Warzone.. etc. You'll have plenty of opportunity to make content. But im just suggesting, you dont have to play cod ofc
Y'all complain about wayyyy too much. Go play a different game then, stop spreading hate about a game you're gonna nit pick. If you're gonna complain keep going and wasting your yearly $70. Stop complaining about a game the majority of the community genuinely likes cuz you joined the cod train too late
The Finals has done such an incredible job adding new things to make fans happy. The gameplay is something special and I hope it’ll slowly keep growing and retaining players.
I just want a solid FPS game that isn't trying to pander to Zoomers with a content addiction problem. XD is that in spades. Like playing CS2 but with controller support, using a controller layout I am well familiar with. I would literally pay them a monthly subscription to just keep the game simple and straightforward.
My issue with this trash and poor excuse of a game is the always high ping and the 20+ min matchmaking and my and my net is wired and has 300mbps download and 100mbps upload so it's definitely the problem not from My Internet
Now I know overall I'm not truly leaving XDefiant yet because the game means everything to me, Its so little being done regarding the content and its becoming all too repetitive. How do you all feel about the state of XDefiant? You still play it?

Why bother leveling everything up if they’re just going to destroy what you’ve created
That's funny because I like the fact you can't slide very far or jump 10 ft in the air. It is an authentic gameplay experience that is desperately needed because CS2 is the only other modern FPS game that doesn't use superhuman physics.
Because of the popularity of CS2, I don't see XDefiant going anywhere. There are enough players out there who don't want gimmicks.
I really like BL3 because you feel like a god. But I don't want those kind of mechanics in a competitive FPS.
Good. Game is still way too fast and goofy with movement.
I feel everything you're saying. I also love this game and I played every single day until about 2 weeks ago. I still log on every day to help in any way I can...but I can't force myself to play. I'm just giving it a break for a little while. I'll never talk down on it though. Just hit the pause button and come back when that itch comes back. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Sucks to hear man. But hey I don't think its dying any time soon and make sure to come back if you ever feel like it. It's a shame we have to be so patient with content. But idk if you saw - Mark said that their main focus right now is just getting the game into a good spot gameplay-wise and that they're gonna focus on the content and marketing for seasons 3 and 4. If you think about it, it doesn't make sense to put so many resources into making a bunch of content while the netcode sucks as people will have a bunch of content AND a shitty experience. Unfortunately we'll need to wait a little longer but I wouldn't lose hope yet

Ngl i quit a week ago and started playing single player games. just hopped off god of war myself
I find myself only playing 2K
@ZiiYT Really? Last time I tried 2k was like 2020 or 21, and it was trash..well a new one. Tried 2k18 and nba playgrounds again a few months ago
It’s still way better then black ops 6

hahaha
I understand not liking cod but hell nah😂
Yea keep telling yourself dat🤣😂😂💀
@ 🤣🤣
I took a 2 week break, logged in for new battle pass, finished it and did not login since then. There is nothing for me to do in game. I dont want to play with same gun for 500 hours to unlock all the skins. I did play Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022 I dont have polyatomic on all the guns.
No content = dead Game
I Uninstalled this Game After 300 Hours…
It is an online FPS. It doesn't need 'content'. The problem here is your inability to enjoy a game for what it is. You constantly need something new because you're addicted to new content. CS:GO and CS2 are great examples of FPS games that are/were popular without doing all the gimmicks that Fortnite and COD do.
@ Bro we live in year 2024, so no content = dead Game
The gaming Industry has changed 👍
@@Lurch-Bot 100%
@@Grinder6797 That's what we call a TikTok-brain
@@Lurch-Bot Lmfao and what happened now? The games shutting down, unlike CSGO, Xdefiant is dogshit. I love seeing you ubisoft D-riders cope harder
Not gonna lie, brother; I spent a lot less time on the game when my ACR got dumpster'd. I felt like every weapon was in a balanced spot but the designer of the LVOA was upset it wasn't the most used AR in class and needlessly nerfed two fan favorites after they had already taken away our rapid-fire barrel.
I still play now and then because I like the M4 but needless nerfs and no substantive content is a bad combo for any live service game. As long as you stay true to yourself you'll never fail. Stay blessed my friend.
XDefiant is fine. If you need all that flash, gimmicks and special events to enjoy a FPS game, go play COD and leave XDefiant to the purists. XDefiant is basically Ubisoft's answer to CS2 and you don't hear CS2 players complaining because they want a pure FPS experience, free from flash and gimmicks.
As an OP online FPS player who was there at the beginning, I applaud Ubisoft for not pandering to the ever changing whims of children. Not going to get killed by Peter Griffin or any other ridiculous crossover character. I like the Snowdrop engine and the fact that XDefiant doesn't give you superhuman abilities like being able to slide halfway across the map or jump 10 ft in the air.
If XDefiant dies, I'm probably going back to BF1 and BFV, especially since EA finally decided to address cheating. I'll also probably be playing a lot more Enemy Territory. Still active. Still popular enough to get a match. I played it a ton back in the day. While I had played UT some, ET was the first online FPS I played routinely. Doesn't get more pure than that. Even though it is easy to cheat in the game, virtually nobody does because they are purists who understand that a stolen victory is really a loss, i.e. not many kids playing. No clout to be had from cheating your way to the top.
ACR was way too strong and everyone knew it. now its the PP19. ACR is still fine.
They don't want to promote XD before it's worth promoting. They don't want what happened at launch to happen again, they can't survive that twice. That is why there is no promotion. And that is not just something I make up, that is straight from Mark himself.
You could go ride the CoD wave for a few months, have look back around Xmas for season 3.
Or you could go to another game, finals or whatever.
You could also just branch out and do more than one game.
I just started playing XDefiant and it is a refreshing change from COD. It gives me what I am looking for in an online FPS - competition. It isn't bogged down in gimmicks like COD. It doesn't make you superhuman. Being a reactive player isn't going to do much for you, unlike nearly every other online FPS out there. If you don't have a tactical mindset in XD and can't plan ahead, you aren't going to enjoy the game.
I know I'm late to the party, but yeah it definitely does feel like the devs just gave up and abandoned their community. Theyre hardly pushing out any new content, not pushing out any patches, and just letting their game die. It's sad because the whole reason I supported this game was because of the dev team.
But the developers also have to understand it's not about just the fun of the game but also the appealing of what they see what allows them to play even longer
The finals is super fun glad u mentioned it
Sounds like you’re burnt out playing the game, if you wanna succeed as a pro content creator, you need to find out what’s hot, and make a video doing something that others won’t do, or something that got people saying HOW THE HELL did he do that, put a bunch of short videos out there to see what the people gravitate to. I think your good and I want to see you succeed, do what you want with the info
Just be a guy that covers new fps titles. When games come out ride the life cycle and repeat
1:01 I honestly felt the exact same way, but I also felt like not mentioning to my friend to hop on xdefiant cause I feel like it will become boring after an hour (and we’ve played xdefiant during the early beta days)
Now I know Mark said they’re working on the technical side to make the netcode better overall, but if S3 is still barebones on content and they’re still having issues with netcode I dont think I’ll hop on till S4 or later until the game has some actual replay value, not just mind numbingly camo grinds
Based opinion from a reactive FPS player. XDefiant simply isn't the game for you and it doesn't need to change to suit your desires. You simply need to go play COD instead. XDefiant is for the sort of FPS players who love CS2 and hate Fortnite.
@ Brother do you even read your own comment before posting? Or are you just rage baiting?
They need to have an update where there is at least 5 to10 new weapons of each category from SMGs to shotguns including assault rifles
They really don't. If you want that, go play COD. Plenty of people like XD for what it is. CS2 is hugely popular and they have 7 maps, never add any new content and people are OK with that because a lot of people aren't looking for what you're looking for. People who aren't addicted to new content. People who are actually trying to enjoy playing a competitive game instead of trying to gain clout to impress their friends.
The thing about COD games is that, when you are a good player, you rank up and quickly realize that every match has more cheaters than legit players. I was into CODM for awhile but when the World Championships were won last year by cheating, I was done. I tried Whorezone once. They were doing that ridiculous King Kong vs Godzilla thing and the whole match turned into something like a bad acid flashback. When I was taken out by an opponent that appeared as nothing more than a disembodied set of legs, I knew that, after 2 decades of playing COD games, I would never touch another one again.
I feel you man,it got to the point for me where I wasn’t even mad about the nerfs even tho I disagreed with almost all of them. I just got fed up with Ubi not giving us content or fixing bugs fast enough. Also It takes far too long for me to find games no matter what I do,and when I do 90% of the lobby I’ve played before already and/or it’s a map I refuse to play like Attica or mayday. Then you have ppl more or less calling us liars like “But it takes me 2 seconds to find games I’m on the same server as you”. Just really doesnt look good for the community or the game imo. The call of duty comparisons irritate me as well. I’m not even a die hard fan of the series,I actually like Xdefiant more,but the issues over there don’t compare to the ones in Xdefiant and most if not all actually get fixed,and quickly. Not defending cod on that but still. I really wanted Xdefiant to succeed along with the community but gah damn man Ubi fumbled big time
I’ve stopped gaming as hard as I used to and honestly it’s the best thing I’ve ever done
I’ve taken a break myself tbh. I’m still hoping for the game to succeed and I’ll be back soon I’m sure but it has been repetitive as of late
I quit playing it a while ago it was just so disappointing to me with everything you mentioned like the lack of support and all that ,but great video brother I enjoyed it
As there's very little to play for, and I'm not the best in terms of ability, I stepped away several weeks ago. After reading up extensively on the forthcoming season three/four leaks, it just doesn't seem exciting enough to hold my interest for any extensive amount of time. At its core lies a fantastic FPS that rewards fundamentals (when the stars align and things work properly), but again, that key element that keeps players playing -- something to strive for, to play towards -- just isn't there. I'm afraid slow and steady might not win this race.
Lack of content will be the downfall of this beautiful game. They have to lock in!
@@ZiiYT Absolutely.
Sorry to hear that bro 💯 this game had a lot of potential
xDefiant is as good as cod, objectively it's even better because it's free.
But it's just not relevant the way cod is and it's development team dropped the ball.
The game doesn't feed you a sense of accomplishment.
You aren't earning scorestreaks for your hard work, you aren't unlocking skins and camo's, there's no in-game banter between players, the search and destroy mode is super boring, some of the abilities are just a pain to deal with (the turret 💀), you can't look up other peoples combat records.
A lack of notable content creators playing it, no pro-league ...all this stuff killed the game.
The game shouldn't need to 'feed you a sense of accomplishment'. You're just a broken person who can't enjoy the sense of accomplishment from winning a match. You're lazily looking to be spoonfed some BS trophy or need constant new content to feed your content addiction.
Content creators shouldn't make or break a game. I feel sorry for you if you need their opinion to make a decision. As for pro-league, well that's a joke in COD because there are so many cheats. They couldn't even keep cheating out of the CODM World Championships last year. If XD gets boring at some point, I'll just switch to BF1 or BFV for awhile.
I'm just looking to have some fun and XD does that for me. I'm not looking for clout or trying to impress my friends. I also don't want to have to put 8 hours a day into a game just to stay competitive and keep up with events and grind for new weapons. By contrast, I got MVP like 3 matches into XD. I don't want nonsense like King Kong vs Godzilla and BR is so 2016. It is nothing but a time-suck. If they would just add controller support to CS2, that's probably all I would play. Apparently the CS2 devs haven't noticed that controllers have gotten way better in the past 2 decades and is now the best way to play a FPS game🤦♂
@@Lurch-Bot I ain't reading all that. I'm happy for u tho. Or sorry that happened.
We know it's for the business. That's why it's hard to trust content creators
@zii I just hope that the developers can understand, in The gamers direction that X defiant is super easy to save. And they shouldn't have to be afraid to take ideas from other video games that studios have worked on it's the whole point of creativity with made-up creativity 😭
And you know what's crazy this game deserves dancing emotes 😭😭😭😭
I think the one thing that is definitely killing XDefiant so that they have no hard-core mode.
Furthermore, for a casual player, not the casual players you see in the videos because they always instantly locked onto the heads of their targets (not a casual player more meaning to a pro player with the lock on). Those are not casual players casual players normally hit a lot of body shots. Sometimes they zone and on the heads not instantly nobody likes pumping in a half clip to get a kill and then even after the updates, it’s nothing but trade kills and hit markers. Still have problems with people shooting around corners after 440+ hours, I decided to never touch the game again until I see a hard-core mode
( for those who don’t understand what hard-core is one shot to the head at the most three shots to the body) not spent all day and unload a half clip to make a kill.
Until I see that they have added a hard-core mode I am not touching the game. It’s a waste of my time.
Also the ridiculous prices for any add-ons that you might want let it cosmetic or whatever not paying those prices especially just to change appearance down to five to $10 sure but not 20 and 30.
When I see these changes, take place or see them in a video because I don’t even have the game installed anymore. Maybe I’ll come back.
Have you played the game recently? I just started yesterday and have already gotten a few OSOKs. TTK can be a bit long for body shots but that's the way it is IRL when someone is wearing combat armor. You simply want a different type of gameplay and that's OK. Expecting every game in existence to morph to suit your desires is not OK. XDefiant is one of about 4 popular FPS games that appeal to people who just want to play a FPS match without a bunch of flash. If you want absolute realism (most people don't consider that fun), go play PUBG and stop ragging on XDefiant. I can't play PUBG myself because it is too much like being in a real gunfight, which triggers my PTSD.
When I found myself dodging King Kong and Godzilla while dogfighting a F-86 in a T-6, I knew my COD days were over. XDefiant was like a breath of fresh air for me. Focused on the game, not the gimmicks.
The games not even in a bad spot especially after the recent update and all the content there working on is coming out in season 3 and the ak and acr needed a nerf everything else is balanced for the most part ?
They also need to create attachments for for body shots for all the weapon types they also need to make up brand new movement mechanics they make the game more funner
I still LOVE Xdefiant it’s still a great game I just wished I could play it more but for me it just doesn’t hit anymore
I have no idea what they are doing, any other dev would have used this opportunity to have the event be a test for an upcoming mode they were working on, but they're working on nothing, so many IPs and they're doing nothing with it, they could have released a 8-16 player rabbids infection gamemode or something but all they did was make a few skins and call it quits
Your movement would be brazy in The Finals
👀
As a casual I like it. I played when it came out and stopped for a while. Not for a specific reason I’m just not into competitive shooters. 1) changing the maps doesn’t do anything for me. New maps is always good but don’t change pre existing maps. Personally, I don’t care about holiday themes. 2) I feel like every shooter has a balancing problem. There’s always one gun/class that’s favoured over others. 3) call of duty isn’t good anymore imo and it’s so much money. This is a good cheap alternative imo. To conclude I like it how it is personally as a casual player. If you no longer have fun take a break and if you still don’t have fun change game. This is all just imo as a casual don’t come at me.
xdefiant is taking its time to come out with new content it gets very frustrating. We waited half the season for smoke gernades.... are we serious
@@ElPurified LMAOOOO no seriously 😭😭😭
The cheater problem is killing the game. If they banned everybody using a chronus and color bot you’d see the player count dwindle dramatically. It makes ranked absolutely unplayable and if you see anybody with a higher rank than silver it’s immediately suspicious. Ubisoft is literally hiring for an anti cheat dev and if anybody wants to save this game go apply.
you must be crazy, reach t500 ez all seasons without cronus or anything related xd
@@KingZerverThe majority of players are pretty bad. It’s like their minds can’t physically grasp how good players play without resorting to calling them cheaters.
@@pubplays368 agree man ofc there are cheaters but is so ez to identificate who are because all of them move like bots and they do preaim unusual spots so clearly they have walls and little soft aimbot
Lol, you just described COD to a t.
Bro you’re still you and can blow up no matter what game. You should hop into BO6. Best cod in years
Either or heither there's gonna be a major shift up in Ubisoft ....so everything is now a stand still
I love this game but the store is weak right now and the 3v3 is weak topped off by no double XP this weekend 🤷♂️
I can’t even play the game my new tv turn off on me I can only see a little bit 🙁
AK and ACR nerf is the biggest fail for me. It feels waaaay too slow now. And also the FPS (PC) feels not good anymore. They fixed it a bit but it is still not good. Idk what is going on with them but I will not grind it anymore like before. I was really hyped for S2. Good Video, have a good one :)
Just started playing the game yesterday and it is a breath of fresh air. No sliding halfway across the map; no jumping 10ft in the air. You're just too used to playing games that give you superhuman abilities.
As for how the game runs, I didn't notice any stutter or lag playing at 1440p medium with a 120fps cap on a RX6600. If you wanna grind, play COD. I like that I can just jump in the game and have some fun for an hour without having to grind.
@@Lurch-Bot If only movement was 50% slower it would be perfect. It's still way too much Quake. I really miss old days of Ghost Recon Phantoms.
Honestly, xdefiant is dead. I played so much in preseason i even brought the battle pass. Now that bo6 and warzone 4 just dropped there's not much players online.
They also need to work on giving us more than just two maps we need five maps at best at least maps with different environmental graphics like cartoony type graphics and the basic type graphics
Why do they care about the gun and not about the game, only caring about the store to make money Bro, then why did they release the game in the first place if they won't even care nor try to make it special for holidays and such. Some other free games they do it, why can't Ubisoft I guess they're just soft.
I have to admit, I have been pretty die hard for this game, I mean I'm nowhere near your playtime (500+ hours is alot, wow)
Just the fact that people arent really liking the game, and it does feel like people are moving away from it. Its hard to have a solid shooter, esp a comp scene when the game isnt popular. I honestly cant even tell why it isnt more popular honestly. Its pretty solid imo
But I have been playing a bit more Warzone and I hate to admit, I may just go back
Yo don’t stop this channel bro just play another game bro
@Zii brother I 100% agree with you on everything you said about X defiant I'm super dyslexic so I hope I can try to make my comments make sense 😭😭😭😭
idk I'm having fun with the game
The music after matches just make you want to turn it off lol
God Bless you brother Jesus Christ is King Love at the end of the day if the video game do not make u happy don’t play it and ultimately it’s just a game keep spreading the love of God brother.✝️
Amen💙
Kinda feels like they do not really care about the weak points and also the skins are so damn expensive! 30€ for a single echelon skin + 2 weapon skins for weapons i dont use?!
+ I am so sad they nerfed the ak47 it was a beast!
My way to go is the tac-50.
but bo6 in the game pass! I need longer now to find any lobbys... I dont get it! do the people actually want sbmm?! Maybe they come back to xdef when they realize sbmm still sucks ... hope so
So sad that they arent putting any effort into the game I thought this game was going to be great every update it keeps getting more dry. im honestly switch to the finals or something
Unfortunately xDef is owned by a corp on life support.
Moved to BO6 even though the game is very frustrating, has terrible map design, and eats more of my PC Specs (much harder to run than XDefiant) at least it has a lot more things to do more to learn and something that you can grind for and most importantly playerbase and content (Matchmaking is much quicker on BO6). I really like XDefiant since it is very fun but in the current state it is not that enjoyable as it first launched and I recently uninstalled it.
Bro I have tons of ideas that can save this game
You would rip COD BO6 apart
Even the finals is also failing
1 snipers are op

the game will be fine. stop playing 500+ hours and just play for fun. i don’t sit there and burn myself out…
FR. And you don't need daily new content. Or much new content at all. If you need that to enjoy playing a game, I strongly advise addiction counseling.
"the game will be fine" XD
They need more guns
3v3 works in small maps like in Critical Ops
6ix9ine as a supportive creator?? Wtf😂😂
Crap, even the finals is lacking content, and the game became crap when they nerfed the rpg and heavy for me
Lmao the state of Xdefiant is 10/10 better than BO6. BO6 is being ran to the ground with hate and backlash in how shit it is. Ppl really be hating on the decent games over the “popular” franchise only to cry and complain when the game finally drops and it’s horrible and unplayable
This game is very inconsistent but is fun
Time for you to pick it up now
we already seen what BO6 is already and its going to stay like that, like its not good at all but Xdefiant will slowly but surely getting their, dude they got a shit ton of shit coming, dont u get it!!!! mark didnt want to drop all the decent shiit right away, hes cooking slowly but surely just give it time
Right. If he dropped everything now then they would still be complaining about that. People cant just be patient. Play the game for what it is right now.
I like cod but they merged it with bo6 and now its too big of a download i cant play it, i would have to get rid of gta5 to be able to have cod downloaded. So ive been playing the finals and i just found xdefiant yesterday i like it so far. A very decent replacement for cod for me
Thats why i stopped playing a long time ago because it was so boring, having a blast on Bo6 even with sbmm
I don’t care about all the little stuff right now. Continue building the foundation, add all the filler crap later. You played 500 hours on a barebones game. It’s only up from here. I think the new camo is plenty to grind for right now for me but I also only have 120+ hours
Hate to see it but I don't blame you.
Yea it’s a pretty barebones game, i also only have 130 hours and you have 500
So yeah it’s gonna get stale
Xdefiant > BO6 but Finals > XD
bro just take few day break then go back it gon hit watch
Try streaming Cod, its not sll sunshine and rainboys but its just as fun if not better? And its continuously updating.. they'll have Warzone.. etc. You'll have plenty of opportunity to make content.
But im just suggesting, you dont have to play cod ofc
The game sucks sadly
Y'all complain about wayyyy too much. Go play a different game then, stop spreading hate about a game you're gonna nit pick. If you're gonna complain keep going and wasting your yearly $70. Stop complaining about a game the majority of the community genuinely likes cuz you joined the cod train too late
@ I play the game tho
Walmart call of duty.
The Finals has done such an incredible job adding new things to make fans happy. The gameplay is something special and I hope it’ll slowly keep growing and retaining players.
I just want a solid FPS game that isn't trying to pander to Zoomers with a content addiction problem. XD is that in spades. Like playing CS2 but with controller support, using a controller layout I am well familiar with. I would literally pay them a monthly subscription to just keep the game simple and straightforward.
