2 weeks later and... wow. I still have faith in Ubisoft. They made Rainbow Six Siege, ruined it in the hope to get on the Fortnite train. Now they finally made a game with its own identity, that mixes up the universe of Ubisoft only. For a free game, the gameplay is very satisfying and addicting. Maybe few perks are a bit weird and needs a nerf, but I think we finally have THE ubisoft game. And the devs behind it, aren't random. They worked on prior Call Of Duties, notally OG Mw2 and Ghost.

The truth is and Always be Xdefiant is a nice game (i did one match tho lolol,but everyone love it so it must be) But nothing more than black ops 3 without movement in my opinion,and people who love it that much Are mainly cod haters,change my mind lol
Although many see it as a cod killer I still admire the call of duty quality sees xdefiant is just a free to play title therefore ubisoft has put less resources into it.
People got to stop calling it a "COD killer", that's what killed every other previous "COD killer" in the past, it's just trying to compete with it and COD hasn't had really any competition in years. Nothing is ever going to truly "kill COD", besides, they've been doing that just fine themselves.
XDefiant is really a mid game,its ok but nothing be already we have see,the maps are ok,the abilitys are good but if we just quit them litteraly is a COD

We really don't need to keep comparing similar games because we know nothing will ever kill COD. It's simply too big to fail. Doing so ends up making the "killer" be killed and I hope that doesn't happen to XDefiant.

Damn, Ubisoft can't even give attention to detail in a small multiplayer map. This aint no COD killer, only COD can kill itself, let's see how they do with Blackops 6
Obviously CoD has much better visuals, physics and animations, but fortunately for XDefiant, that doesn't make CoD the better game. Unfortunately XDefiant doesn't really do anything special imo. It bored me super fast. Other than playing ranked in Warzone, I'm not really that big into CoD, hell I don't even own MW3, but I'd sooner pay $70 for CoD than play XDefiant for free personally. Truth be told though, if it weren't for Warzone, I'd just play various Battlefield games or The Finals over both CoD and XDefiant anyway lol
My thing about Xdefiant is that yes it's free. But it's also made by Ubisoft, and Ubisoft definitely has a track record. I think this Xdefiant hype is less about the fact that the game is that great and more about the fact that people want to see Cod die, I want to add that I'm not saying Xdefiant isn't a good game, I personally am having as much fun with it as everyone else is, I just personally don't think it feels that much different from Cod
Ubisoft and Activision have one thing in common: they all fell off badly after publishing a “revolutionary” , really good game. With Activision it was MW2019, with Ubisoft it was 2 games: Assassin’s Creed Unity and Rainbow Six-Siege.
For reference Cod mwIII has zombies mode Warzone Campaign Multiplayer More maps More details More weapons More attachments More skins More+++++ XDefiant Take forever to find a game And all of them are just sweating their asses
The only argument that they say that XDefiant is better is that XDefiant dont have SBMM. I literally laugthing right now i imagine that in BO6 in the first uptade the only patch note is"we quit SBMM"
@@Mando2664for reference Xdefiant is fun Has no SBMM Actally decent servers No random packet burst You actually gotta play smart and be good at aiming There’s teamwork It’s free You don’t get pop ups shoved in your face when you open the game The game isn’t as DLC of another DLC of another DLC Has the OG devs from cods golden days Has its own identity Doesnt suck the soul out of people’s wallets Cod UA-camrs and streamers enjoy it more than cod Community friendly Doesn’t treat the player base like garbage Plans to make actual good updates in the future
Xdefiant is never gonna “kill CoD” the game is a juggernaut and has the smoothest gameplay and greatest physics and graphics in the genre whatever you like it or not. It’s an alright game and I’m not gonna shit on it. But it has the stain of Ubisofts reputation and graphically looks worse than BO3, which came out in 2015. I have a really strong gut feeling Xedefiant is gonna be one of those “killer” games that dies after a month or two. It’s happened countless times before. Especially since we’re getting a sequel to BO2 and Black Ops 6. They are clearly trying to snag CoDs audience, and with the very team shooter-esk gameplay that’s not gonna happen, CoD fans don’t give two shits about how they’re teammates do as long as they win.
This isnt a fair comparison, CoD market themselves as a " Fast-Paced Realistic War Simulator" while XDefiant is marketed as a fast-paced Arcade shooter. So the objectives of these dev teams had similar goals for gameplay but not for details..
Honestly seeing this video made wanna download the game even more than ever cuz its honestly not that bad for a free game, idk why it gave me this nostalgic feeling of BF3/BF4 earlier in the video but then i go to steam and it's not there.... Yeah I am not downloading Uplay or whatever they're calling it now, Either Release the game on STEAM/GOG or don't. I'm not downloading a launcher for every game. Unless ofc it's a massive -100% discount on AAA game like Epic did on GTA 5 years ago lol
Nobody will ever kill cod, the only real chance would’ve been with BFV, since COD lost to BF1 if Dice had kept that momentum they could have at least knocked cod off the top slot but they dropped the ball with BFV and COD took it back with MW19, people dislike MW3 but the hate is nowhere near where it was during the IW vs BF1 season when the IW trailer was the most disliked video in history at the time.
Cod has had over a decade to perfect their craft, the fact that xdefiant which is free btw can even be compared to this 70 dollar game should tell you something.
@@Darkd1n0 WAY better, lower ttk gives you more chances to survive even if your enemy has a hack aim, i dont think cod is fun anymore, warzone is total trash, xdefiant is way more fun to play for me, i dont care about details, i care if the game is fun or not, and xdefiant its better than cod and its free and its a well done game for a free game, then i prefer xdefiant over cod actually
XDefiant has cluncky movement coming from CoD, that's probably the only reason I didn't like the game. it's good, but the ping also is a second thing, I'm used to 9 ping in CoD coming to XDefiant to play on a 100 ping is not good, sometimes it gets me into matches with 23 ping which is fine but why is it rare? if the servers are there and there's no SBMM why am I being redirected to 100 ping servers?
"A CoD killer" huh? I've heard that more than 100 times before. No worries, the XDefiant game will propably live for a few months and die, while the CoD will have a prosperus lifespan
There is a very big advantage of COD killer. Because COD multiplayer can only be played by paying money. First of all, XDefiant is free to play. Even if you have partial paid content, that's your choice.
Being free doesn’t keep you safe from criticism. Also the other comment is funnily enough right, codm DOES have better animations then xdefiant, and THATS free
Ya know...Maybe this obsession with hyper realistic visuals and tiny microscopic details rather than focusing on the important stuff i.e the optimization and game play is why MWIII is so overly bloated in terms of file size. Where as the so called "cod killer" is Free,Low file size and is just as much as fun while sacrificing the tiny details and quality which most players gives two crap about. Yeah,I'll take games like XDefiant and The Finals over MWIII any day.

The moment Xdefiant becomes popular is when the greed starts to come. That's why it's no CoD killer.
Exactly
a classic "This game makes water splashes so this game is better" video
Damn, Ubisoft can't even give attention to detail in a small multiplayer map. This aint no COD killer, only COD can kill itself, let's see how they do with Blackops 6
Obviously CoD has much better visuals, physics and animations, but fortunately for XDefiant, that doesn't make CoD the better game. Unfortunately XDefiant doesn't really do anything special imo. It bored me super fast. Other than playing ranked in Warzone, I'm not really that big into CoD, hell I don't even own MW3, but I'd sooner pay $70 for CoD than play XDefiant for free personally. Truth be told though, if it weren't for Warzone, I'd just play various Battlefield games or The Finals over both CoD and XDefiant anyway lol
My thing about Xdefiant is that yes it's free. But it's also made by Ubisoft, and Ubisoft definitely has a track record. I think this Xdefiant hype is less about the fact that the game is that great and more about the fact that people want to see Cod die, I want to add that I'm not saying Xdefiant isn't a good game, I personally am having as much fun with it as everyone else is, I just personally don't think it feels that much different from Cod
It's a game, not a movie.
And COD gunplay feels better too.
MW3 would be one of my favorite CODs, but the servers and matchmaking just make it impossible to play
Ubisoft and Activision have one thing in common: they all fell off badly after publishing a “revolutionary” , really good game.
With Activision it was MW2019, with Ubisoft it was 2 games: Assassin’s Creed Unity and Rainbow Six-Siege.
For reference COD MWIII is 150GB, xDefiant is 38GB

XDefiant
Take forever to find a game
And all of them are just sweating their asses
The only argument that they say that XDefiant is better is that XDefiant dont have SBMM.
I literally laugthing right now i imagine that in BO6 in the first uptade the only patch note is"we quit SBMM"
@@holasoypoloxx Imagine bro 😂😂
Will be so freaking funny if they write in the update
"Alright no sbmm f u Xdefiant"
@@Mando2664not every game needs a BR besides BR is hella overrated ngl
@@Mando2664for reference
Xdefiant is fun
Has no SBMM
Actally decent servers
No random packet burst
You actually gotta play smart and be good at aiming
There’s teamwork
It’s free
You don’t get pop ups shoved in your face when you open the game
The game isn’t as DLC of another DLC of another DLC
Has the OG devs from cods golden days
Has its own identity
Doesnt suck the soul out of people’s wallets
Cod UA-camrs and streamers enjoy it more than cod
Community friendly
Doesn’t treat the player base like garbage
Plans to make actual good updates in the future
If cod can't kill itself with games like vanguard and mw2 then nothing can
Mw2 was ok but vanguard was trash tbh
"cod killer" is simply funny lol
mw3 is build ontop of years of work while xdefiant is a clean slate
Xdefiant is never gonna “kill CoD” the game is a juggernaut and has the smoothest gameplay and greatest physics and graphics in the genre whatever you like it or not. It’s an alright game and I’m not gonna shit on it. But it has the stain of Ubisofts reputation and graphically looks worse than BO3, which came out in 2015. I have a really strong gut feeling Xedefiant is gonna be one of those “killer” games that dies after a month or two. It’s happened countless times before. Especially since we’re getting a sequel to BO2 and Black Ops 6. They are clearly trying to snag CoDs audience, and with the very team shooter-esk gameplay that’s not gonna happen, CoD fans don’t give two shits about how they’re teammates do as long as they win.
both games are pretty fun
This isnt a fair comparison, CoD market themselves as a " Fast-Paced Realistic War Simulator" while XDefiant is marketed as a fast-paced Arcade shooter. So the objectives of these dev teams had similar goals for gameplay but not for details..
100 GB game that looks like it came 10 years ago vs a 30GB game that looks like it came out last year 💀
As long as there are no Teletubbies and Nicki Minaj running around then I'm good...
COD has transition to woke fortnite...
Honestly seeing this video made wanna download the game even more than ever cuz its honestly not that bad for a free game, idk why it gave me this nostalgic feeling of BF3/BF4 earlier in the video but then i go to steam and it's not there.... Yeah I am not downloading Uplay or whatever they're calling it now, Either Release the game on STEAM/GOG or don't. I'm not downloading a launcher for every game. Unless ofc it's a massive -100% discount on AAA game like Epic did on GTA 5 years ago lol
Do a price comparison should make it easier.
Xdefiant devs think that every pistol is DAO (Double Action Only)
Nobody will ever kill cod, the only real chance would’ve been with BFV, since COD lost to BF1 if Dice had kept that momentum they could have at least knocked cod off the top slot but they dropped the ball with BFV and COD took it back with MW19, people dislike MW3 but the hate is nowhere near where it was during the IW vs BF1 season when the IW trailer was the most disliked video in history at the time.
CoD didnt lost to BF1 in terms of Sells
@@foxtrotsierraproductions8626BF1 outsold IW by about 1.5 million copies
Cod has had over a decade to perfect their craft, the fact that xdefiant which is free btw can even be compared to this 70 dollar game should tell you something.
It’s so funny seeing people expecting a free game to be better than cod
You get what you pay for. Lol
Its better than warzone for me, way better
@@guilhermecezimbracarvalho8136 not even close imo
@@Darkd1n0 WAY better, lower ttk gives you more chances to survive even if your enemy has a hack aim, i dont think cod is fun anymore, warzone is total trash, xdefiant is way more fun to play for me, i dont care about details, i care if the game is fun or not, and xdefiant its better than cod and its free and its a well done game for a free game, then i prefer xdefiant over cod actually
@@guilhermecezimbracarvalho8136why does it have to be a compitition both games are good and fun jeez
Free Vs Free
Warzone Vs Xdefiant
Meanwhile MW: 💀
Cod killer with details from 2011, sure
i js realized how underappreciated cods attention to detail is
Yeah it's weird how the only good part of modern call of duty is underrated.
Because it literally doesnt matter, especially when the gameplay itself is in shambles
@@crypix honestly mw3 is the best cod we have had since cold war imo🤷🏽♂️ its not a bad game at all
@@crypix exactly
@@alexanderxjsits fairly decent, its better than 2 of its previous games
Mw3 vs battlefield: defiant
Cod is better for physics and graphics, but who knows what the future awaits !
I don’t care if XDefiant is less detailed than COD, XDefiant is million times better than the current CODs
Comparing a free to play game with another game that is like 70 to 100+ dollars lol
which map is it from mwiii with the soccer ball?
its a free to play game, i dont give a sht about those details
XDefiant has cluncky movement coming from CoD, that's probably the only reason I didn't like the game. it's good, but the ping also is a second thing, I'm used to 9 ping in CoD coming to XDefiant to play on a 100 ping is not good, sometimes it gets me into matches with 23 ping which is fine but why is it rare? if the servers are there and there's no SBMM why am I being redirected to 100 ping servers?
Fr the sliding is just wrong, its like janky
cod is on its own level of refinement, honestly plays alot better
I like the smoke from the weapons in xdef
XDefiant is the game that shows that graphics and details aren't everything.
I’ll pass on all the fluff to save 50Gigs 🤷🏻♂️
Now compare it to Skyrim
Lol
I don't know how to explain it I like the textures and lighting of X defiant but I like the animations and the physics of cod
Siege, division 1 and 2 both have really good physics and weapons details. Why are they making copy and paste so hard
The disrespect of them calling this the cod killer is unbelievable
"A CoD killer" huh? I've heard that more than 100 times before. No worries, the XDefiant game will propably live for a few months and die, while the CoD will have a prosperus lifespan
Tech demo features are fun.
There is nothing better than a game of code
Cod killed itself if anything
Exactly
Say that all you want, its still currently one of the most played games on the market. Gonna spout more bs?
@@mysterymeat1216is it as populated as it was in the '12?
@@tobiaspramono378 MW2022 is the most played CoD of all time. Do what you will with that information
@@mysterymeat1216 so where are the numbers?
There is a very big advantage of COD killer.
Because COD multiplayer can only be played by paying money.
First of all, XDefiant is free to play.
Even if you have partial paid content, that's your choice.
Meanwhile codm having no sbmm useful ranked and free to play:🗿🍷
Being free doesn’t keep you safe from criticism. Also the other comment is funnily enough right, codm DOES have better animations then xdefiant, and THATS free
@@F1RST_BLUD1if that thing released on pc, i think its gonna be money printer for axti
@@tobiaspramono378i heard they are making a PC Port hopefully it comes to Xbox as well
You realise if Microsoft/Activision released Cod Mobile to the Xbox/Playstation and PC that would pretty much kill Xdefiant overnight
Ya know...Maybe this obsession with hyper realistic visuals and tiny microscopic details rather than focusing on the important stuff i.e the optimization and game play is why MWIII is so overly bloated in terms of file size.
Where as the so called "cod killer" is Free,Low file size and is just as much as fun while sacrificing the tiny details and quality which most players gives two crap about.
Yeah,I'll take games like XDefiant and The Finals over MWIII any day.
Videos like these are one of the things to blame for devs over focusing on "graphics". Who cares if the water doesn't splash as much
What do you expect from a game that has "XD" smile in its name?
i mean yeah, XDefiant is miles away from being a real CoD killer, but it's free while MW3 costs $70, and that's a HELL of a difference
Sooo your broke also Cod is coming to gamepass soon
@@ELIZABETHMARLONE2005 i'm not broke, i own mw3; for the price of $70 you get a piece of rushed garbage compared to a more unique game that holds a price of $0

@@TEC_Blackyou're calling a cheap cod clone unique. Got it...
@@VetoMega cod doesn't have that unique "class" system XD has lmao, it has different factions and each agent from those has a different ability

*least we have no eomm*
Remember that X defiant is around 30gb while COD is +130gb.
And 0€$ instead of 70€$ every year lmao
Because COD has significantly higher quality models and more content.
@@σεα-ψ9ε you mean bloat
@@σεα-ψ9ε You're right, but I heard that a lot of the files are unoptimized and if optimized it could bring the storage size significantly down.
@@ylethyrbrekan5993 No, I mean the 4k graphics assets, all the game modes, cosmetics, season updates, and weekly events. Stuff that people use.
Since cod "Plastified" itself with Horrible gun textures/apearence and Horrible gun sounds we need the good old steel back
If xdefiant was on steam, I maybe would play it but considering the fact that its made by ubisoft, which is a terrible company and they would just shut down the servers 4 years from now, I will just stick with cod
