    HELL YES, I made the video... but as of right now, the signature list is uo to 5,469...it's really picked up the pace. It may not matter to Ubisoft, but that petition and what it stands for means the world to us.

      Of course you did... And you're first because you're a channel member... 😎
      Yeah, mate... It gained a lot of ground since the update dropped... Nytefall is happy to see it getting more signatures... Now, as Jak said in his recent video, XD is never coming back... I said it in the video, we have to be realistic on that fact... But, it's not about getting the game revived, it's about showing the industry there's a market for games like XDefiant, and if even one studio out there takes notice and releases something similar... Well, that's a win for the petition in my book... I don't care what the Twonks say...

      The petition would need to reach a minimum of 50k before it got acknowledged, but it's still nice to see the community band together

      @@ScottyMcGaming In relation to XDefiant and its closure, i am left wondering what the point is on giving the game 6 months, why not stop now if they are not making any money during this period, it just seems silly.
      I have this feeling in the back of my head(NO its not that slap from the wife after i nicked her chocolate bar) that they are holding out for something, maybe that takeover that's been mentioned or something else.

      @TheSparkynuts That is the hard truth. Its more just to show that we're here. I don't see it hitting 10k. It's only at 5558 right now. We've always said if it doesn't even hit 20k it won't do anything since they were saying that was the bottom line to keep the game going.

    5:06 The biggest issue with private servers is: CoD had a ton of fans, and only a couple of them had the willingness and ability to trick the game client into hosting/joining matches outside of the official matchmaker. There's also a lot of cods, with a lot of projects, discovering different things and sharing their findings with each other. XDefiant, unfortunately, has fewer fans, and the game client doesn't host matches so the servers would also have to be remade from scratch (or leaked)!
    Sure, someone might be willing and able to remake half the game but: fewer fans means you don't get to roll the dice as much, the ability to remake half a game is far more rare than the ability to remake just the matchmaker, and willingness? Well, if you can do all that and you've decided to spend thousands of hours of your life in pursuit, what's stopping you from just making your own game so you don't have to worry about legal drama or the inevitable "preserve season 3 exactly as is" vs "continue updating the game" debate?
    Odds are worse than cod if the xd servers get leaked, and if they don't get leaked? Well...

    They should just release an offline patch for this game and allow for private servers to be hosted, but this is Ubisof,t we're looking at the ones that shut down the crew ,so of course they're not going to do that

      I recently learned of a developer build of mw2019 accidentally released and then cracked, this is allowed for modding communities like Donetsk and MRON to release scripts and patches that allow for custom BR matches. Here's is hoping that some "accidental" slip up happens

      I don’t think they’re new, just players who never played, or quit early on… Out of 15 million players from the start, there’s plenty of low level players still out there…
