also people sometimes forgot about SBMM that you cannot play with your friend if your friend "below average", me and my one friend skill is above average, we understood this situation and we never forced other friend to play cod otherwise they experience will be ruined. especially after they spend $70 dollar. and now this week, we finally playing xdefiant as 6player team, we lose together, we work as a team, we win together. And the most important we have fun !!! something that we would never got on cod. our "below average" skill's friend also excited to play xdefiant, and im surprised how well they grow up their skill on fps. Because they are getting better SBMM problem is real !
Same story. Especially sucks when that one "little above average" friend is you. Only reliable solution for this problem bs was spare "adjusted" account with sub 1kd that used for hosting party and looking for lobbies, otherwise everyone suffers because your friends are getting farmed by sweats and you getting non stop spammed by killstreaks.
COD pushed their core player base away by catering their games to low skilled players. XDefiant is a breath of fresh air and I really hope it can flourish.
You need to know that in the world you get more casual players compared to hard-core players. So in this case to keep high player base COD did a good thing for themselves. Where xdefiant casual players will get sweaty lobbies against hard-core players. They will likely leave the game and uninstall. So if you logically think, their next step would be back to COD.
@@algatronalgirdasIt’s not sustainable in the long term but it sure as hell is a breathe of fresh air, also hardcore players don’t ruin games as they tend to be more competitive in the competitive playlist.

I think the slightly longer ttk is also more appealing to the evening chill crowd. 1v1 engagements can be turned around and won - where CoD just rewards whoever hits their target first. I appreciate this subtle but crucial difference in an FPS shooter.

“You a good mix of games” You don’t actually lol. Xdefiant is a sweat fest for sweats who call themselves “above average gamers” Stop whining and just go to Xdefiant. Both games can co-exist and competition is good for both games. You think Ubisoft isn’t going to do the same thing? Like how you could buy a pack that unlocked gun instead of achieving it naturally. It’s amazing that the Xdefiant fanboys are completely ignoring the paywall that already exists in the game they say will “curb stomp” COD. Ubisoft will do the same thing because that’s how money is made. Ubisoft has already cancelled some other projects to focus efforts on Xdefiant. They need it to be successful and thus profitable. So they’ll do what they did at launch. Make earning XP a slog, locked a fraction “DedSec” behind 700000xp earned, which will take forever for casuals, or hey pay 20 bucks to get it now. That’s the clearest paywall Ive seen in recent years. But people are blind to it cuz “it doesn’t have SBMM.” 😂
xdefiant was trying to be unpredictable for when it launches, as they already knew call of duty would reveal BO6 and ruin the hype all BO games were revealed in august, but this one came out on 23rd may 2 days after xd
It's actually engagement optimized match making. The algorithm monitors more numbers than just skills. It KILLS any sense of progression. Because no matter what, you'll always have the exact same experience. A few hand hurting matches followed by a boring kindergarten match. All the wins and losses feel artificial.
I liked cold war for what it was, but SBMM killed it. XDefiant really brings me back to the good old days, where being trash means nothing, u can still have fun.
You are so right on all of this. It's insane to me that people even defend stuff like SBMM or Rotational aim assist when it has been destroying the FPS genre for YEARS now. I hope other devs take notes from XDefiant but i doubt Call of duty ever will sadly.
This is why i dont play call of duty anymore. i refuse to play ranked play in pubs anymore! i play Battlefeild and xdefiant. xdefiant is more chill. idc what anyone says SBMM needs to go.
Something a lot of people don’t discuss about SBMM is that if you’re always protected from playing against better players, then u never improve at the game, I remember I used to go negative all the time when I first started playing cod when I was 12 years old, but I slowly started learning from other players and now I have like a 1.8-2.0 KD, if I played in protected brackets, I would never be able to have that KD now because I’d just be going up against kids my age that are also new to online gaming, sometimes competition is good, it makes us all better.

And even if Activision does know, they can still add their totals from unlock tools to the bundles bought sub totals to trick their investors to think they are real world purchases.
COD don't care about xdefiant. The amount of problems xdefiant has to fix, especially with net code. I personally don't play much xdefiant anymore. Went back to COD and even older COD Cold War and Vanguard. Still very alive finds matches in max 30 seconds.
I don't think this game is not gonna be as big as cod because they have recently been KILLING it with old nostalgic weapons like rebirth and the Kar 98
I'm actually enjoying this game way more than what I thought I would. I've been hyped about the no SBMM in casual lobbies, but the game itself hadn't pulled me in yet. After playing about 10 hours after release, I was pleasantly surprised. The higher TTK is much better. You can actually turn on people in this game and melt them if they hit you first but have overall bad aim. The aim assist being tuned down is also nice in adding a good skill gap between players. I'm finding myself being satisfied after winning a close gun fight purely because my aim was just better than my opponent. Of course you are going to have sweaty lobbies from time to time, but it's nice being able to have an amazing game and then not be punished for it in the next lobby. And many of the games I play I find myself just being able to play casually and not having to be glued 12 inches away from the monitor. It overall just feels like it used to when I played COD back in the early days. I also enjoy that in the majority of the lobbies I've played in so far people seem to play the objective so much more than in MW3. Overall the game is easily overachieving the expectations that I had for it going into it. I think if they work on the net code problems and the hit detection problems that many players are running into, this game will be able to thrive for a long time. Is it going to be the "COD Killer"? No, because the only thing that will kill COD will be COD itself. But, it is a breath of fresh air in the FPS genre and it's looking like it will have a bright future as long as they continue to listen to the community and continue to make updates based on the ongoing feedback.
It’s not even skill base matchmaking it’s engagement optimized matchmaking which basically causes players to get addicted and wanna play when the game were AI they use senses the player wants to log out. It’s even worse it’s sick.
Man, the last thing you said is just so true. Skilled based matchmaking is killing me. I really enjoy WZ. Just started to play WZ with mw3 and never played before. But to play every time like real life depends on it is exhausting and ruining all the fun.
Exactly. And I am like 1.0 in COD and 1.2 in xDefiant (felt from 1.4 in last few days). In my case I am only very sligtly influsenced by SBMM, yet I absolutely hate it... All the time I play COD I feel frustration and powerlessnes. Even when I have few very good matches in my mind I already know next few will be hell. Game dictates when its time to spank some noobs or get deleted and if you play long enough you can predict it. And there is no escape from that cycle. Leave and go to another lobyy? NO NO NO - you get same hell untill you take it fullly to the end. Leave 5x? Get the same kind of match again and again. And I hate both versions, SBMM and EOMM in casual lobby. One makes you to play your clones all the time(I felt at MW19 release like that) and the other tries to emulate random environment but its rigged because it picks teams for you to stomp or get stomped. Server browser>No SBMM matchmaker>SBMM matchmaker>EOMM matchmaker
I really don't understand why Activision refuses to add input based matchmaking. I know they won't get rid of their algorithm experience. But why can't they do the input based MM at least.
while i 100% agree i think disbanding lobbies are more of a problem. because even with sbmm I can still find some fun matches but the game just kicks me out to search for a new and potentially worse match even if I want to stay with the same people.
Well said bro, you covered every important point precisely, I personally don't play Xdefiant but I still appreciate that they solved the SBMM and Aim Assistant problems and I might give it a try just because of that.
Input based matchmaking doesn't matter because you can only use both inputs on PC. Console users are forced to use controller. And just like every other online game, if you turn off crossplay, you wont find a match.
I agree i enjoy xdefiant as a fun game where cod is a mix , there going to be more maps and new weapons , cod players are trying to force devs to use sbmm , but i do hope they stick to the guns and will not change the way it is set up xdefiant is a great game as it is without sbmm , there a few bugs but happy with that what game does not have a few bugs . enjoy the game as it is these cod players trying to change it want to destroy xdefiant .
I’m glad somebody actually made a video saying this. I’ve been saying it for years call of duty’s been dead since 2019.. and it’s crazy all the other games are following suit Fortnite Apex legends you name it all SBMM AND IT’S LITERALLY KILLING ALL FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS. Like Xdefiant or not it’s the best first person shooter by default because it doesn’t have SBMM. Like you can say 1 million things you like about any other first person shooter and all anyone has to say about X defiant there’s no SBMM and you automatically win the conversation. 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
Xdefient needs to fix the damn spawns. Spawns should be random next to friendly’s. Instead of in the same spot over and over and over again. It so dumb
Despite how simple xdefiant is, I'm having a blast playing it. It scratches an itch that hasn't been scratched since I was a wee boy in 2011. I hope future updates improve the game more and keeps it alive. It's not original, it's not innovative, but most importantly it is fucking fun lmfaoo. Imo at least and what's more important than that.
I played Xdefiant and it ain't it. Annoying announcers, i had to turn that shit off, maps that look like I went to a theme park, the enemies have a red border that i also dislike and the movement doesn't feel smooth enough. The hype will end and it will be forgotten like The Finals, especially when BO6 drops.
Aim assist is pretty stupid in any and all forms. Cross platform is kinda stupid for needing aim assist to compete with PC......game just casually giving players an aim bot.... Enders: XDefiant has potential, it just needs to capitalize on it. Yeah, thats not something Ubisoft does........they get games to "yeah, this is aight" and move on to XDefiant 2. Then ZDefiant 3 then XD Defiant 4... CoD being a store pretending to be a game. Yeah, like Armored Warfare, I call it an online store with a tank minigame where you can drive around in your pixel panzer. So, tune into CoD BO6, where the store sells a token that removes your SBMM for 5 matches lol. Also, with XDefiant, is that black girl with the Afro like the meta chick? Cuz ive seen her alot lol.
@@jormungandr4690yet it almost feels like game made from unity assets. Dont get me wrong no SBMM is great thing but its not enough to compete with such giant as COD. I played both mw3 and XDefiant and mw3 kills xdefiant in terms of gun feeling and movement smoothness
Unpopular Opinion: I Actually Enjoy Being Pitted Against Sweats When I Have Good Games Because I Am A Sweat. If you look at that as being “punished” you need to just get better 😂
I actually really like XDefiant, i dropped cod years ago because it was getting worse every year. But the biggest real problem of the Game ist the connection. And I hate the people who think it needs to be like COD, no it doesn't! Its good because it is not exactly like cod. Great video as always.
it's about EOMM not so much SBMM. SBMM just gives you sweat lobbies - fix for that? get better. EOMM manipulates players' health, recoil, damage and internet connection - that you cannot fix by getting better!
Na only abilities annoying is the spider bot & the cleaner fire bomb which aren't picked much. Even then the Netcode & hit reg reg & other issues are what's annoying as hell. As somebody who been following this game since day one, it's a flop, not in terms of players but from a horrible launch & post launch standpoint, the game netcode & hit reg is sewer juice, leave it to Ubisoft to constantly drop the ball, that's Goofisoft for you, they got their work cut out for them, they are incompetent, what a circus. Last year showed us what to expect from them.
Call of Duty is so easily fixable - Just take greed out of the equation. SBMM, EOMM, rotational aim assist, bad server performance, poor game performance.. All these things wouldn’t exist if Activision would actually focus on making a good game instead of making as much profit as possible all the while saving money on important ends like servers and development time. SBMM is the epitome of noob friendliness. I don’t care what anyone says or thinks - Making good players have a terrible time in favor for noobie’s game experience is just wrong on so many levels. The world doesn’t and shouldn’t work like that. If you put much time into a game, learn all the different mechanics, learn to read game flow, movement, aim, spawns, etc. you deserve to have a higher K/D as opposed to little Timmy, who plays on his PS4 with an 10ms RT, 75” TV and cannot even shoot straight if rotational aim assist doesn’t correct his aim. This constant magnetic push to a 1.0K/D is absolutely horrendous and ultimately kind of demotivating. This annoying aim assist debate could be ended so easily if they just added input based MM, it’s as simple as that. Let controller player’s beam each other with their integrated aimbot, but leave us MnK players out of that. As for servers.. I think I have not experienced a single day where I didn’t had to play multiple 200ms + 10% packet loss games, while my enemies had normal pings. Better servers + No SBMM is the solution.
Just to save 10 minutes of your time, in a nutshell - he likes that there is no SBMM in XDefiant, but he wont admit he likes the game, because he likes nothing & complains about everything in every game he’s ever played. 😂 Like & subscribe for more yapping.
Playing Call Of Duty is no different from shopping in your local Supermarket. You can't even rage in chat; the security guard will ban you. Everything goes into making it a shopping safe-space for the average Joe.
Doesn’t disliking SBMM just mean you think you are at the top of the charts? Seems statistically unlikely with how unpopular SBMM, which makes me think SBMM is a scapegoat, or maybe just needs to be implemented differently in CoD
Never experienced SBMM since I've only played 2009 COD. I play fighting games & cant imagine there being an algorithm that would coddle people that arnt good. Maybe fighting games needs SBMM so new players wouldnt quit lol!! Anyways Xdefiant is defiantly mids right now, some of the stuff coming in season 1 should have been in the game at launch.
@@Haru_Shirosaki well good to hear that cus i commented sam thing on Maxiq's vid and some prrson responded with: imo aim assist weak ASF in this game lmfao

I dont agree with the “ feed up” from cod and thats why they are playing xdef, yes it is a factor but xdef is really enjoyable and is a solid game. Does it need some balancing and more work on yes definitely. Xdef hopefully can solve its problems and stay as competitors to other fps out there
He literally talks about cod & how they are horrible but still plays their game. Waited for XD to "save us" now that it's out, he still plays their game. My point is people will always play cod no matter how "fed up" they are, they are addicted. Now there's no reason to play it, before people were like "I need a PvP but there's nothing to play, I think I might just buy Cod & play it until XD comes out" then suddenly they get sucked in & only care about cod & then say "honestly, it's been fun, I'm content with cod now, I'm not interested in XD anymore tbh" those players wanted cod anyway & just wanted a reason to go back, like y'all can do what y'all want but don't complain then be the reason why cod doesn't give a fuck because it knows y'all addicted fools will come crawling back supporting them regardless. Not everybody is a cod player some people who are here just saw the game & thought it was fun, I only played Cod mobile cause someone wanted me to try it, I tried warzone mobile, tries Warzone 2.0 trash, played Caldera(the best PvP of em all) I liked TDM & Plunder, in no cod player, I never bought their games, I'm not into FPS story games, only one I'm ok with is Rage 2 & even that, I like it, it's not my favorite or anything, I'm a 3rd person action game kina guy or Turn Based kina guy. People who like Apex will try it, people who want to have fun will try it, depending on if they get hindered by hit reg & netcode as it affects everybody differently, some will like the game or dislike it, the complaints I've seen were mainly netcode & hit reg where people have said they like the game but uninstalled cause netcode & hit reg are horrible.
@@xDaPrincex chill bro 🤣🤣, at the end hes a content creator and needs to make content to his audience, hes always talked about cod because its relevant and lots of players still play it. No one wants cod to end we want cod to get better and hopefully the competition would push them towards that. I never played the last two cods before mw3 and yet i came back when they made the game better its not amazing but better so pushing them is helping
So yeah ummmmm..... i haven't had this much fun since old MW1 and 2, xdefiant is definitely fun and gives me nostalgia, I'm really happy with this game I haven't ran back to back matches in a long time so for that to happen here means something ❤
Imma “Pro” player but I want tho play against high schoolers so I can feel like I’m even better is all I hear when people complain about this. The cringe entitlement is pathetic your $70 is not better than anyone else’s. Hollering git gud when Ke at the same time complaining about having to get good. The everyone gets a trophy culture has destroyed so much in our society. If you’re so good and so elite then that’s who you should play with but those streaming clips wouldn’t do numbers huh so you add on a chronus or zen stop it a bunch of entitled crybaby sore losers.
Sorry I haven't followed cod in many years, but there's no way someone with aim like this is complaining about controllers right? For aim assist to be that big of a problem for a guy like this it must be at least 60% of an aimbot I can't belive there would be many hackers if the game provides an aim bot that strong
I know it’s crazy! What is even crazier is all the top players for Warzone play on PC yet…Use a controller for some odd reason. I wonder why that is.? lol
Your crying about abilities in a hero shooter lmao they not gonna do that, you don't want abilities then play cod or something. Would you go to a basketball game & tell them to not put the ball in the hoop? I bet you would lmaooo

It overall just feels like it used to when I played COD back in the early days. I also enjoy that in the majority of the lobbies I've played in so far people seem to play the objective so much more than in MW3. Overall the game is easily overachieving the expectations that I had for it going into it. I think if they work on the net code problems and the hit detection problems that many players are running into, this game will be able to thrive for a long time. Is it going to be the "COD Killer"? No, because the only thing that will kill COD will be COD itself. But, it is a breath of fresh air in the FPS genre and it's looking like it will have a bright future as long as they continue to listen to the community and continue to make updates based on the ongoing feedback.
Get rid of sbmm and cod will flourish
It’s not even skill base matchmaking it’s engagement optimized matchmaking which basically causes players to get addicted and wanna play when the game were AI they use senses the player wants to log out. It’s even worse it’s sick.
Man, the last thing you said is just so true. Skilled based matchmaking is killing me. I really enjoy WZ. Just started to play WZ with mw3 and never played before. But to play every time like real life depends on it is exhausting and ruining all the fun.
Exactly. And I am like 1.0 in COD and 1.2 in xDefiant (felt from 1.4 in last few days). In my case I am only very sligtly influsenced by SBMM, yet I absolutely hate it... All the time I play COD I feel frustration and powerlessnes. Even when I have few very good matches in my mind I already know next few will be hell. Game dictates when its time to spank some noobs or get deleted and if you play long enough you can predict it. And there is no escape from that cycle. Leave and go to another lobyy? NO NO NO - you get same hell untill you take it fullly to the end. Leave 5x? Get the same kind of match again and again. And I hate both versions, SBMM and EOMM in casual lobby. One makes you to play your clones all the time(I felt at MW19 release like that) and the other tries to emulate random environment but its rigged because it picks teams for you to stomp or get stomped.
Server browser>No SBMM matchmaker>SBMM matchmaker>EOMM matchmaker
Also for new players xdefiant has that welcome playlist for those people that want that "safe feeling" as it has sbmm for low level players
Which is important for low level players, to not get smoked by level 60+ with complete decked out guns.
Being less than 200GB is also pretty nice
I really don't understand why Activision refuses to add input based matchmaking. I know they won't get rid of their algorithm experience. But why can't they do the input based MM at least.
bro is true about cod i cant be a try hard in all games thats why i play casual and not ranked
Enders you give a really good take on xdefiant the first video you made on it felt spot on
while i 100% agree i think disbanding lobbies are more of a problem. because even with sbmm I can still find some fun matches but the game just kicks me out to search for a new and potentially worse match even if I want to stay with the same people.
Well said bro, you covered every important point precisely, I personally don't play Xdefiant but I still appreciate that they solved the SBMM and Aim Assistant problems and I might give it a try just because of that.
Input based matchmaking doesn't matter because you can only use both inputs on PC.
Console users are forced to use controller. And just like every other online game, if you turn off crossplay, you wont find a match.
I agree i enjoy xdefiant as a fun game where cod is a mix , there going to be more maps and new weapons , cod players are trying to force devs to use sbmm , but i do hope they stick to the guns and will not change the way it is set up xdefiant is a great game as it is without sbmm , there a few bugs but happy with that what game does not have a few bugs .
enjoy the game as it is these cod players trying to change it want to destroy xdefiant .
Cm901 w/ stalker was really like that back in the day . Sleeper gun 😂
I’m glad somebody actually made a video saying this. I’ve been saying it for years call of duty’s been dead since 2019.. and it’s crazy all the other games are following suit Fortnite Apex legends you name it all SBMM AND IT’S LITERALLY KILLING ALL FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS. Like Xdefiant or not it’s the best first person shooter by default because it doesn’t have SBMM. Like you can say 1 million things you like about any other first person shooter and all anyone has to say about X defiant there’s no SBMM and you automatically win the conversation. 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
Xdefient needs to fix the damn spawns. Spawns should be random next to friendly’s. Instead of in the same spot over and over and over again. It so dumb
Honest question here, how do you feel when you're dominating and the opposint team just leave?
It means i won
Despite how simple xdefiant is, I'm having a blast playing it. It scratches an itch that hasn't been scratched since I was a wee boy in 2011. I hope future updates improve the game more and keeps it alive. It's not original, it's not innovative, but most importantly it is fucking fun lmfaoo. Imo at least and what's more important than that.
The game has grown on me, to the point where I spent some money and bought the battle pass. Hope they keep improving it.
sad state of the world when no controller players and no sbmm deserves praise..
I played Xdefiant and it ain't it. Annoying announcers, i had to turn that shit off, maps that look like I went to a theme park, the enemies have a red border that i also dislike and the movement doesn't feel smooth enough. The hype will end and it will be forgotten like The Finals, especially when BO6 drops.
Aim assist is pretty stupid in any and all forms. Cross platform is kinda stupid for needing aim assist to compete with PC......game just casually giving players an aim bot....
Enders: XDefiant has potential, it just needs to capitalize on it.
Yeah, thats not something Ubisoft does........they get games to "yeah, this is aight" and move on to XDefiant 2. Then ZDefiant 3 then XD Defiant 4...
CoD being a store pretending to be a game. Yeah, like Armored Warfare, I call it an online store with a tank minigame where you can drive around in your pixel panzer. So, tune into CoD BO6, where the store sells a token that removes your SBMM for 5 matches lol.
Also, with XDefiant, is that black girl with the Afro like the meta chick? Cuz ive seen her alot lol.
Says he doesn't wanna tryhard when playing shooters yet his footage is just him tryharding...
I thought that too but the more you watch him and his steams he is just naturally good at fps games.
Mediocre is generous
Name 1 not mediocre shooter though. At this point it is pick your poison, but Xdefiant solves 2 of the biggest problems in modern shooters
@@jormungandr4690yet it almost feels like game made from unity assets.
Dont get me wrong no SBMM is great thing but its not enough to compete with such giant as COD.
I played both mw3 and XDefiant and mw3 kills xdefiant in terms of gun feeling and movement smoothness
@@null0452 How much does mw3 cost again?
cod feels more like a f2p game than XD yet you're paying $100 for it.
My aim has gotten better on X now that it's not being manipulated
Unpopular Opinion: I Actually Enjoy Being Pitted Against Sweats When I Have Good Games Because I Am A Sweat. If you look at that as being “punished” you need to just get better 😂
EOMM is a bigger problem than SBMM.
I actually really like XDefiant, i dropped cod years ago because it was getting worse every year.
But the biggest real problem of the Game ist the connection.
And I hate the people who think it needs to be like COD, no it doesn't!
Its good because it is not exactly like cod.
Great video as always.
01:20 into the video, and you finally said, that the issue is SBMM. 😂
That's why the Finals will not grow ever.
Sbmm is even worse than CoD and Crossplay is mixed input
The Finals just fell off with its really repetitive gameplay. And op as hell guns and then the trash ones
2:32
That for a company that just want to make money .... its not good
So much fun to play COD these days, literally equally as "FUN" as a casino machine
How do you like the mnk feel of the game? I find it off/clunky compared to BF/Cod/finals
Rank will be shit in this game if u solo que because many bots don’t understand to use ability with team
I’d love to see Enders post a COD video while absolutely shitting on it.
I really hope that XDefiant doesn't dies. I love this game.
it's about EOMM not so much SBMM. SBMM just gives you sweat lobbies - fix for that? get better. EOMM manipulates players' health, recoil, damage and internet connection - that you cannot fix by getting better!
fyi in MW2019 PC Players could disable crossplay
What kind of hot take is this "Just leave the game!" Yeah and then they don't come back. Weak ass logic.
Game is decent, but the abilities be annoying as hell
Na only abilities annoying is the spider bot & the cleaner fire bomb which aren't picked much. Even then the Netcode & hit reg reg & other issues are what's annoying as hell. As somebody who been following this game since day one, it's a flop, not in terms of players but from a horrible launch & post launch standpoint, the game netcode & hit reg is sewer juice, leave it to Ubisoft to constantly drop the ball, that's Goofisoft for you, they got their work cut out for them, they are incompetent, what a circus. Last year showed us what to expect from them.
Cod 2019 was good in beta and then they nerfed the movement.
Call of Duty is so easily fixable - Just take greed out of the equation. SBMM, EOMM, rotational aim assist, bad server performance, poor game performance.. All these things wouldn’t exist if Activision would actually focus on making a good game instead of making as much profit as possible all the while saving money on important ends like servers and development time. SBMM is the epitome of noob friendliness. I don’t care what anyone says or thinks - Making good players have a terrible time in favor for noobie’s game experience is just wrong on so many levels. The world doesn’t and shouldn’t work like that. If you put much time into a game, learn all the different mechanics, learn to read game flow, movement, aim, spawns, etc. you deserve to have a higher K/D as opposed to little Timmy, who plays on his PS4 with an 10ms RT, 75” TV and cannot even shoot straight if rotational aim assist doesn’t correct his aim. This constant magnetic push to a 1.0K/D is absolutely horrendous and ultimately kind of demotivating. This annoying aim assist debate could be ended so easily if they just added input based MM, it’s as simple as that. Let controller player’s beam each other with their integrated aimbot, but leave us MnK players out of that. As for servers.. I think I have not experienced a single day where I didn’t had to play multiple 200ms + 10% packet loss games, while my enemies had normal pings. Better servers + No SBMM is the solution.
Call of duty has no online bots though least i think dont play it.
Still waiting for a battlefield new release with no online bots hope it happens one day.
Nothing against your content enders just hope maybe they see our backlash about it one day and change it.
Comparing trash to trash, is not something to make a video about.
Can't kill a game that's already been dead
call of duty havent cared about multiplayer since warzone started printing them money
lol F Activision they ruined their own franchise because of greed!
Where in the settings can I switch on that you can see who is alive and who is dead? 😅
Under gameplay, It should be one of the last options.
@@MrSunglxzz thanks 😊
Just to save 10 minutes of your time, in a nutshell - he likes that there is no SBMM in XDefiant, but he wont admit he likes the game, because he likes nothing & complains about everything in every game he’s ever played. 😂
Like & subscribe for more yapping.
All it needs is MnK for console support.
You know you can turn off cross play in call of duty… at least in modern warfare 2 2019 I don’t know about the subsequent ones
Playing Call Of Duty is no different from shopping in your local Supermarket. You can't even rage in chat; the security guard will ban you.
Everything goes into making it a shopping safe-space for the average Joe.
Xdefiant has no Sbmm and THAT is the only reason it is better.
Doesn’t disliking SBMM just mean you think you are at the top of the charts? Seems statistically unlikely with how unpopular SBMM, which makes me think SBMM is a scapegoat, or maybe just needs to be implemented differently in CoD
Microsoft brought call of duty just in time for it to start failing
Only reason I play cod because its have m&k support on xbox. I wish Battlefield and Xdefiant has it. They both have crossplay sonwhy not?
Enders play 2042 with sniper grandpa that would be a fun video
7:58 Achievement unlocked: common sense
Enders + complain + zero time really matter, and xdefiant is also mediocre! Looking forward to your loadout tutorial man.
Never experienced SBMM since I've only played 2009 COD. I play fighting games & cant imagine there being an algorithm that would coddle people that arnt good. Maybe fighting games needs SBMM so new players wouldnt quit lol!! Anyways Xdefiant is defiantly mids right now, some of the stuff coming in season 1 should have been in the game at launch.
I usually play cod for the zombies and on multiplayer I just quickscope and trick shot so cod is just cod for me I don’t notice sbmm at all.
Sometimes when I kill people they wine about sbmm as if sbmm is the reason I quickscoped them lol.
That’s like saying vomit cake is better than shit cake. Xdef is still mid as hell.
so so much more enjoyable then cod now
So no love for the maps?
'pretty above average fps player' no Enders, you are one of the best UA-cam players out there.
Just letting you know-aim assist in this game sis busted-they should nerfnit asap but they wont do that soon probably:(
Agree, and i am on the controller.
@@Haru_Shirosaki well good to hear that cus i commented sam thing on Maxiq's vid and some prrson responded with: imo aim assist weak ASF in this game lmfao
@@Deanchieit's because of your aim response curve. It depends on how it's set. If yours is set to standard,like mine was,it become a lot harder hitting shots. It felt like AA was pushing away. Switched it to linear and felt MUCH better
@@dc3747 my aim is very good without Aim assist im just complaning that it is too busted:) Requires not a lot of skill to kill anyone cus most of the work is done by aim assist-so i turned it down to -6,0
@@Deanchie i have it on -5 right now. I just hate how sticky it is. I am a guy that likes to snap to target from target, but i couldn't do it in this game because of how sticky AA is.
I dont agree with the “ feed up” from cod and thats why they are playing xdef, yes it is a factor but xdef is really enjoyable and is a solid game. Does it need some balancing and more work on yes definitely. Xdef hopefully can solve its problems and stay as competitors to other fps out there
He literally talks about cod & how they are horrible but still plays their game. Waited for XD to "save us" now that it's out, he still plays their game. My point is people will always play cod no matter how "fed up" they are, they are addicted. Now there's no reason to play it, before people were like "I need a PvP but there's nothing to play, I think I might just buy Cod & play it until XD comes out" then suddenly they get sucked in & only care about cod & then say "honestly, it's been fun, I'm content with cod now, I'm not interested in XD anymore tbh" those players wanted cod anyway & just wanted a reason to go back, like y'all can do what y'all want but don't complain then be the reason why cod doesn't give a fuck because it knows y'all addicted fools will come crawling back supporting them regardless. Not everybody is a cod player some people who are here just saw the game & thought it was fun, I only played Cod mobile cause someone wanted me to try it, I tried warzone mobile, tries Warzone 2.0 trash, played Caldera(the best PvP of em all) I liked TDM & Plunder, in no cod player, I never bought their games, I'm not into FPS story games, only one I'm ok with is Rage 2 & even that, I like it, it's not my favorite or anything, I'm a 3rd person action game kina guy or Turn Based kina guy. People who like Apex will try it, people who want to have fun will try it, depending on if they get hindered by hit reg & netcode as it affects everybody differently, some will like the game or dislike it, the complaints I've seen were mainly netcode & hit reg where people have said they like the game but uninstalled cause netcode & hit reg are horrible.
@@xDaPrincex chill bro 🤣🤣, at the end hes a content creator and needs to make content to his audience, hes always talked about cod because its relevant and lots of players still play it. No one wants cod to end we want cod to get better and hopefully the competition would push them towards that. I never played the last two cods before mw3 and yet i came back when they made the game better its not amazing but better so pushing them is helping
next Xd content = loadout videos.. PLEASEEEE
So yeah ummmmm..... i haven't had this much fun since old MW1 and 2, xdefiant is definitely fun and gives me nostalgia, I'm really happy with this game I haven't ran back to back matches in a long time so for that to happen here means something ❤
Ive already uninstalled.
Still, COD destroys XDefiant mainly because COD has game modes like "DMZ".
Lololo
If i turn off crossplay on pc, it takes 20-30 minutes to find a party, just to play for 7 minutes
Xdefiant is boring already feels like ability simulator
Imma “Pro” player but I want tho play against high schoolers so I can feel like I’m even better is all I hear when people complain about this. The cringe entitlement is pathetic your $70 is not better than anyone else’s. Hollering git gud when Ke at the same time complaining about having to get good. The everyone gets a trophy culture has destroyed so much in our society. If you’re so good and so elite then that’s who you should play with but those streaming clips wouldn’t do numbers huh so you add on a chronus or zen stop it a bunch of entitled crybaby sore losers.
Sorry I haven't followed cod in many years, but there's no way someone with aim like this is complaining about controllers right? For aim assist to be that big of a problem for a guy like this it must be at least 60% of an aimbot I can't belive there would be many hackers if the game provides an aim bot that strong
I know it’s crazy! What is even crazier is all the top players for Warzone play on PC yet…Use a controller for some odd reason. I wonder why that is.? lol
@@entreri76x lmaoo I didn't know that at all, I'm going to have to look up more of this aim assist bs
Call of Duty destroys itself...🤣
CoD has been dead to me since BO2 truthfully.

Agreed 100% here, but id like one more thing. Give us a playlist without this stupid abilitys and dumb-ass passives and im sold
Your crying about abilities in a hero shooter lmao they not gonna do that, you don't want abilities then play cod or something. Would you go to a basketball game & tell them to not put the ball in the hoop? I bet you would lmaooo
@@xDaPrincex brother :D :D :D
That's way to far. That;s like saying in the next BO6 they should add normal BO and then another playlist for a Valorant copy
