They just need to fix the netcode a little bit more and this game would be fantastic. I'm already enjoying it, but yeah still getting killed by regular bullets after taking obvious cover.
That’s my biggest problem so far. And thank you for calling it a netcode issue and not a server issue like most people are
Yes I am having the same dilemma but even with that happening, this is the most fun I've had in years with a shooter
it was worse in the beta but still needs work
Precisely. Until they fix it I won't be playing again. It's a nice game overall but this is a huge problem
@@thecataclysmanit’s really not a big enough deal to just quit playing it. The game is fun. A occasional death to some nonsense is what it is. Just respawn and keep playing 😂
I like the simplicity of this game, it feels like old school CoD in some ways. Yeah, it doesn't look extremely realistic, but the gameplay is important, it's knows what it wants to be.
Cod barely running at 60fps on my 3080. I have to turn off all the realistic graphics anyways
It's insane how large the CoD install sizes have become.
Right I agree, and personally I liked bo3 it was arcade like and to see they're mixing old school COD with arcade like gameplay sounds enjoyable to me
I'm a minimalist 🤷🏻♂️
@@RePlayQDude, check your PC... I have an RX 6900XT and I run CoD on 1440p all Ultra easily over 144fps... Haven't tried 4K but it should be at least 100fps
Love the simplicity of this game. Really feels like cod prior to mw19, my main hope. I’m trash at fps games compared to most people but I’m having a good time so far
No it doesn't
The cleaners may not be great, but they're so much fun. I love the way all their kit combines to make you a chaotic force
I agree it when you get that perfect combination of all your abilities it’s just so fun watching the destruction I admit it takes a little skill but it’s so fun. And the outfits compliment The abilities and the fun
Cleaner gang, let it burn!
I fucken hate the Cleaners’ passive ability. Get tagged by a sniper, you die anyway because of the burn damage
Kamikaze firebomb is my fav
Good cleaners are so irritating to play against lmao, I wanna scream every time I get baited into a fire bomb or die to fire damage after I’ve killed them already 💀 I respect the hustle though
10 hours of gameplay and I'm still loving it!
Crazy that some people aren’t liking it.
Feels so smooth for talented gamers.
Best way to put it!
Most of the people talking shit either haven’t played it or they played like 5 matches and then uninstalled after realizing they are the players SBMM was implemented to protect. 💀
Whenever I do well in MWIII I have like an ambient anxiety feeling knowing I’m about to get punished for the next few games, but in xdefiant I don’t have that feeling. It’s such a relief.
I see people saying the gunplay is so awful but I do SO MUCH BETTER with staying on target for followup shots in this game then ANY other game I've ever played
@@aidenr3310 same here. The aim assist isn’t so strong that I can actually control my own aim
Coming from someone who’s played cod and only cod since 2010 im loving xdefiant. Such a refreshing feel, and im sure when the new wears off it’ll get boring but as of now, I’ve been grinding the game nonstop. HUGE W ❤
Anyways, I know I’m gonna catch heat from that last comment I put and I don’t care. XDefiant is a super fun game and I have no issues with it at all except for everyone jumping around like they’re a kangaroo in their Adidas track suit sweating like crazy, tryna turn people away from the game. But I digress. Keep up the great work Espresso 👍 your informative videos and breakdowns are super crisp and helpful when learning a new game
I hate everyone one jumping but if that’s the only thing I dislike… I’ll survive 😆
I think the game will be more balanced some nerfs, some buffs, but overall i don't think that there's any big issues with this game, like people cryin that "this game is bad" but they forget, this game is free to play and it ain't take a ton of space, so i say, everybody could or should try this game because there's nothing to loose from doing it
I see a Malee player, I tbag
Like the game is sponsored by British Petroleum. And there's no prone or dropshot to counter all the sliding and jumping
Ah yes the true intention behind my evasive movements in game is not that I don't enjoy being shot, but rather that I hate the game and want people to stop playing it. 4head take brother
Thank you. Been waiting for someone to do a video on this.
7:22 fun fact, the barrier is two-way, but only you and your team can shoot through it. Very effective when running as you can drop it directly down and turn around
🫡
I can’t wait to try all of them out!!
Everyone who likes this comment thinks Xdefiant NEEDS a killcam. 👌
Pretty sure they legally can’t as cod owns the patent
@@Aamonnater I’m not going too question your intelligence to hard here son so I’ll just say this. Google how many games (not COD) have multiplayer killcams. The answer is a lot. So again I say this game NEEDS a killcam otherwise it will never be taken seriously.
@Aamonnater you cant patent basic features, you can only patent characters, lore, or ideas
Kill cams are mood killers that show you getting crapped on, only reason for a kill cam is to check if someone is cheating (they’re not) but even if they are, turn cross play off and stay on Xbox and ps5 servers my guy
@@AamonnaterOverwatch has kill cams lmao
Good video man 🤘🏾
Love the videos ❤ can’t wait for more
Glad you enjoy them, thanks for watching!
My biggest complaint with this game is the weapon xp, its way too slow it feel like its going to take a week of consistent play to get all the attachments for 1 gun.
Its like 35 kills per level g that's ez😂
yeah if you just grind and focus on kills to level up the guns you want, its really easy. I have one of my guns at level 49 already with only 9 hours of playtime!
I maxed the M249 in 2 hours
Remove escort from playlist
@@ClassifiedGrayZoneWarfare just unselect it so you don’t have to play it😂
The enemy pings are wild when a whole squad runs it. Nonstop advanced UAV
Oh yeah, it's pretty powerful
You it's strong but if you have people rubbing firebreak or phantoms it's easy to deal with
Just throw an emp or run dedsec and you won't show on the hack
@@mckinleyostvig7135Id rather run sticky bomb
Sniping in XDefiant is a little clunky but satisfying when you can get it to work
I agree, despite the number of people complaining it's OP, the clunkiness + netcode issues make them super inconsistent and a bit rough atm
@copordrop people are complaining on console because ximmers are already appearing.
Sniping is 🔥🔥 other than the weird bolt and shot delay that happens now and again.
Phantom’s passive alone makes it impossible for me to not run them. Literally a free advantage in every gun fight from one singular passive ability
Dude my exact thoughts in a video. Perfect
Subbed for xdefiant content. 🔥
Most fun I’ve had in ages and a nice change of pace from COD. Feel the balancing is fairly good as well although for sure the Intel Sweep needs a nerf. Either reduce the radius of the sweep or increase the cooldown. DedSec defo needs a bit of a buff. Other than that it feels great
The radius is fairly small already tbh but I agree with increased cooldown, I feel like I can have it active almost half the entire game
Love Libertad. The ultimate makes me feel like im invincible. Very cool
You basically are invincible 💀 200 hp with constant healing lmao
One thing I enjoy about the spiderbot, is if you follow it loosely, it also shows you which direction your enemies are coming, which I find to be helpful most of the time
People got to remember this is the second day of launch... im hoping the first patch balances some of the weapons and special ability's...also they need a TDM
All the game modes are fun. Least favorite is Escort so i just take it out the playlist😅
Great game. Reminds me of the good old times. I was playing yesterday with the shield guy and damn I felt like a Spartan pushing that shield in everyones face.😂 Its such a breath of fresh air.
I had more fun on this game then I did on any cod since black ops 2 but tbh it feels like cold war to me
Loving this game. Really makes me feel like im playing BO2 and 3.
Amazing game. Bet it gets even better. 😮💨
I’ve been using libertad as my primary and having a great time with the heal can
yeah the healing thing you throw down is extremely underrated you’re basically unkillable if you’re in a gunfight standing near it
@@ethzvn1185great for taking objectives as a team... Super powerful heal
I like how powerful the passive traits and abilities are
This game is a masterpiece already
You have a low bar lol
@@RampidWarthogStudiosCOD set it
masterpiece LOL
@@RuntzSZN yuck
@@RampidWarthogStudios lmao yuck to Cod is right haven't had fun since cold war
I feel like a weak link no matter how many kills while I play cleaner this explains it I nvr rly played the other classes I am missing out on so much, that's echelon is so good
Love your content but the deadsec hate is crazy 😂 their ult cancels out other ults, abilities, and devices. The hack has great utility to counter the most defensive strategies like el remedio and mag barrier. Spider bot with print gives u a great cooldown rotation to space control. Gotta b my favorite faction but maybe im biased
I think everyone is really enjoying using all the flashy intel and extra health / shields, very small number of people actually using deadsec to full potential, you’re right though the faction is being slept on heavily atm
I relate to a lot of that, the ttk and ttd is wonky, and the netcode is wierd, dying behind walls and stuff. It's early days for it tho. May be updated
I know there are more effective abilities but jump strafing and straight dunking a firebomb in the enemy face is so much fun
The incidiery is really mostly for defense on escort.
I’d love to see a search and destroy type game mode added
I’ve been killed while behind a wall a few times very frustrating but I’m having some fun other then that, l hope this game doesn’t fail
A lot of people here are realising sbmm was working in their favour and now calling this game bad. Reality kicking in
ong i said this on xclusive ace’s vid and ppl were hating. the community will never stop complaining no matter what happens
Twitter is filled with clips of connection issues (HIT detection, and net code ) the game is in a bad state rn. But I get it it's a launch but if things stays the same for the next 2 weeks then definitely the experience will get jarring.
So stop acting like the game is perfect people like you are the reason why we can’t have good things anymore. Stop meat riding and call them out like everyone else is doing it.
@@BollyToHollywelp, i just did Watch some, and most of them just miss the shots. Also, bullet velocity in this game is really a think, not like in CoD. If someone is running, you must antecipate your shots. Been doin that, no more “hit detection” issue.
@@brunomonteiro7788 that's a complete lie if you're saying most of them just miss shots.
This game is farming far more superior toxic community than Call of Duty. Every time you give feedback or criticize the game, you gather sheeps hitting you with “It’s YOU problem”
“You're a noob” “you're internet sucks” “Xdefiant exposing bots who were protected by cod” ETC
@@QUADxDashy Honestly! And how refreshing is it to have a good match and not think “well now my next game is gonna be a championship lobby” having a lot of fun playing and if they continue to work on some of stability issues going forward we could have a really good game.
Im really enjoying the game. I havent had a ton of hit reg/lag issues but i know alot of ppl have. When they get that fixed, then start adding more unlockables/better battle pass, it will be in a good spot imo
Can u do a video on the best ar builds?
Im enjoying the game so far. It's a nice change of pace and will be playing it when I want to play multiplayer. I will still play COD for BR but XDefiant is better than COD's multiplayer. Especially after they add Search and Destroy💯
So far im enjoying xdefiant. Im gonna play some more tonight, its a good change from cod. Im enjoying mw3 as well its just cool having another fps to enjoy, awesome video bro.
6:08 I disagree with phantom’s placement, sure the Mag Barrier is pretty useful but the blitz shield is useless in my opinion, and they’re both situational. I think Libertad and Cleaners need to be higher. Libertad has the ability to heal on demand, and Cleaners can basically control zones and deny areas. Cleaners on some maps can basically control the flow of the game. I do think mag barrier is pretty good tho.
Edit: I do think phantom is one of the better options for area denial, so don’t take it the wrong way.
The way this ranking is set up, you kinda gotta judge by the stronger of the two abilities sine people running those factions seriously are gonna use the better ability. However, I think each faction should have been ranked twice for the activated ability for a total of 10 entries for that category. For me, I would put the mag barrier at #2 and the blitz shield somewhere towards the bottom
Mag barrier is good, but I run emp nades which take it down immediately. This stops area lockdowns quickly
So with echelon do i need suppressors or does low profile keep me off map
Thank you for this! Much appreciated :) can send me blue light glasses thanks dad
Play Dedsec with a light, snappy weapon with high mobility. Flank with the spider drone and it's literally both a free safe rotate and kill
Libertad for everything you mentioned + the most based announcer comrade commentary
Only thing im not liking is the loading screen i get after matches and the creating match screen other than that its great
I have no idea why but i do really well with an aggressive playstyle while using phantoms faction 🤷♂️
im loving the game but does anyone know when is the firing range going to be open
can u make video on AK-47 vs MDR which one is better
I use the phantom, the 1 shot pistol is so good. I already have a steezy ass clip from it. imma try the intel next game, been using the ghillie suit
Phantoms are the 120hp dudes with the shields, they don’t have the 1 shot pistol and ghillie suit etc! :)
@@samuelconway8961 ur right my bad, echelon guys lol
@@JoeyNasty how do you find the trade off for picking someone with less health? I kinda can’t play without the health now😂🙄
@@samuelconway8961not to brag but it doesnt make a difference either way, im good enough to where within a life i can get 5/7 or more kills to balance out that 1 death. im averaging 40/50kills a game with about 15/25 deaths. if the guys with more health had better abilities id use them. but the ghillie and the shot shot pistol for me is a better trade for 20 more hp
@@samuelconway8961I’ve been playing echelon mostly since I started but I want to try phantom tonight and I’m afraid I’ll end up the same way after I experience more health and shields I can shoot through 💀 I don’t think I’ll use anything else
I will say though, echelons intel sweep and ultimate are insane for finding people
Really enjoying the game even though I suck and the hit detection feels off to me. I love that the guns don't have 100 different attachments and no stupid blueprints (just give me gun skins) - things seem a little more simplified - which I like.
I was in a match and all of a sudden ny screen had a blue tint to its outline and made me run super fast as echelon, any idea of what caused this? Is it a bug or sum
NOTHIN LIKE A FRESH LOAD OUT!!
sticky grenades and emp are like 3 seconds on dedsec print making the feature a constant use
The sonar suit objectively needs a nerf. It’s so unfair to the other factions that you can essentially have constant ping, I’ve played so many games where everyone was running echelon and it’s going to become an issue. Honestly it should only reveal the location of enemies to the user and it would be fine. So far this is really the only broken thing I’ve encountered in the game in terms of balance.
It's not that good lol. If they nerfed it nobody would use it. The factions are pretty balanced imo. The Cleaners ulimate is a little weak though
@@beanburritozz3044 who would not use see enemies on the map
Throwback to dirty bomb 💣
I honesty think deadsec is gonna be the pro players support class, they need good cordination to work and if you have cordination then they are ledgit server admins.
Incendiary rounds are pretty good with m44 to be able to get 100 body shots I often only deal damage for 70
Has anyone else had the problem where they’re cooking a nade and they go to throw it and the character acts like they throw it but it just gets dropped at your feet?
That and also hitting objects that send it right back at me I don’t know if it’s the animation or what that makes throwing grenades fell bad
With dead sec faction I think it's mainly for cancelling other abilities such as the phantom's ultra which can be pretty devastating on escort and even other modes
It can hack ultimates? Or just specials?
Ultimates too
For me Dead sec is god tier really, especially if you’ve a good team that actually play obj, taking over the healing stations flipping shields, nothing can stop you throw on a emp nade and they never have utility to use other than the cleaners or a shield user everything else is denied to some extent it’s pure abuse when used right especially in push and the other progressive attack defend mode.
@@Synergy465 Yeah you got that right, with proper communication it's a deadly faction
@@burstmachine1372 interesting.. make it a must in ranked then
Whats up with people being able to kangaroo hop while maintaining accuracy. Shouldn't be possible
You can sit be mad about it, or accept that is the neme of the game, and start jumping yourself, and winning a lot more gunfights!
I really enjoy xdefiant
It's difficult to know how valuable additional starting health is without knowing how many shots to kill are needed with each weapon. If the extra health won't often reduce the ttk then it becomes pointless.
I’d turn on damage numbers, helps a lot with learning the damage on each gun on each location
Why do you have damage numbers off?
turn damage numbers if that matters to you nerd
I really appreciate the 120 Hz on Xbox Series X. I've been looking for a game like this for a while. Rogue Company is a fun and similarish 3rd person hero shooter that I've played for ages, but the player base is dwindling!
BEN LOVING DEADSEC FACTION PERSONALLY🤩🤩
Is there a snd like game mode
Play escort with the shield when attacking. It is op
Dedsec is really the underdog lol its my fav the number of time ive turn the tide on a game by cancelling enemies ult and steal a shield you always at least need one in your team
Ggs im definitely not using the cleaners anymore
Still can’t get past the start screen.
The game is great i am having a blast
It’s got potential. Lots of patches need to happen. Shouldn’t take more than 4 bullets to the head to get an elim. Tired of hitting head shots but losing battles
I knew I wasn't crazy. In fact, I lose a lot of gun fights where I legitimately dump at least 8-9 shots first. The gunfights are so weird and unfair. It is like you shoot first? Die first, too.
Dedsec counters both the sheild and intel spam since u print more emps each time . Plus the spider is strong so there my fav and go to now
Yeah, he is way too hard on them.
I viewed Cappuccino’s channel & he said the same thing.
There’s gonna be an XDefiant 2
will there be Search N Destroy mode in future?
Yess
@@vFrosty2K any ETA available?
@@awaizkhan8088 I was looking it up before, I just remember seeing it was coming just not at launch, and should be within or right after the first season
@@vFrosty2K Thank you!
We had the same rating
No one talking about the competitive aspect of this game yes you get more health you can put a a shield up you can get a flamethrower but when your playing obj and deadsec uses his ultimate it turns into a even playing field
People like to hate on everything that is unique and different see what happened to the finals
I'm trying to sort out the recoil, I have adjusted the settings but still have the same problem. Any help would be much appreciated. playing on PS5 with a DualSense Edge controller.
What gun are you using
@PROJECTxSHADOWzZ I am using MP5A2 & M4A1. Thank you for responding to my post.
I think ttk ist really Off. Hit Registration ist also weird. Sometimes you die Instant but emptied a hole mag in an enemy
Didnt have this issue here. Only think that happened to me is that net code sometimes screw me up, and i end up getting killed through cover alread.. also having a good aim, and stability feels soooo rewarding, it is noticible how Fast you kill ppl when landing headshots or shots to the chest. 100% of the times, if you have good aim, you will kill players with ease, even if is 1v2 ttk just feels greate!
The Svd with a heavy barrel is busted 1 shot headshots on anyone not a phantom, not using extra health abilities.. what's wild is I killed a Libertad using her ultimate with 3 headshots from the Svd.. absolutely insane
I’ve been playing almost exclusively libertad since the game launched and personally, I think BioVida Boost is objectively worse. I get the on demand stim is nice and it’s what I started on and loved it, but I switched to El Remédio to heal others to unlock different character and at first I didn’t like it but now that I’m used to it I can say it’s WAY better. It’s up for THIRTY seconds and then down for 30 (compared to BioVida Boost being 35 for a 3 second heal), meaning it’s up half the time and sure it can get broken but also if it’s being useless you can cancel it early to start the cooldown quicker, it’s way better at healing others, it heals at nearly the same speed, and also the amount of times I throw it down on a corner (where it heals me but the enemy doesn’t have line of sight to break it) and then peak a fight and win it due to the fast active healing on top of the passive.. and then when I win the gun fight it’s already healing me back up just like the stim would to immediately take a second gun fight is unmatched. Better in nearly every way, sorry
It’s definitely a hard Game… I do like Close Quarters maps. Not sure how u unlock guns in challenges maybe I gotta Find that.
Mostly trough getting specific kills or causing enough damage
My problem is…there is just nothing to play for. I get mindless fun, give me something that shows everyone in the lobby “damn somebody going crazy”. Doesn’t have have to be a streak, but with all the devs working on this….they could come up with something!!!!
i wish they never went the hero route. giving a class extra hp and another wall hacks is absurd when there is no limits. you can have 6 people with walls on the entire game, do they not remember when in ow you could play as 6 mei's and essentially break the game?
In a way for some reason it reminds me of when BO2 came out
Yeah DeadSec needs a major buff
I find it funny that the one that you gotta grind 700k xp or buy from store is at the bottom of your list
They are quite good though, I think he needs to give them a second chance
“Deadsec = Best Useless Faction” lol 😂 😂
Don’t think dedsec is getting enough credit. His hijack ability is literally a “what’s yours is now mine” ability. Your mag barrier, it’s mine now. Your el remidio, it’s mine now. Any team based gadget is now dedsec’s when using hijack. I will give this much, if the entire enemy team is using selfish abilities, then they are useless. But when you are playing against people who are team based, you are the ultimate support
The lockout ult, it doesn’t just get others out of their ults. It disrupts ALL enemy devices, abilities and ults in its proximity. Should it take less time for it to become used? Sure, but guaranteed that if it took less time, it would be seen as overpowered
The healer ult being worse than the ability was jarring at first
Only thing I don’t like is how slow weapon levelling is
To me I hope they put free for all in the game or hardcore
while i do understand where this tierlist is coming from, i dont really agree. i dont think the factions can be objectively ranked in any way since they all do their own special thing. also this video really did dedsec dirty. you can use the spiderbot to just constantly show you where enemies are or just get a free pick, since most players just dont shoot it. the hijack is really good against mines, spiderbots and in certain cases mag barriers. the downside being that you have to rely on the enemy team to pick an ability that you can hack. the passive is good if you want to lock down an area from cover, 2 or 3 people on dedsec can just constantly throw grenades and most players wont challenge them. and their ultra is pretty good if you use it at the right time. if an echelon just used their ultra, you can just stop it and they have to do their animation of swapping weapons which can get them killed easily. phantoms will try to get up close with aegis but if you just disable it and their mag barrier, they have nothing and are caught off guard. just in general, it destroys every ability and prevents the opposite team from using theirs, has incrediable range and duration and you can start building it up instantly. while dedsec might not be the best faction, they are still very powerful if you know how to use their abilities
