@@Nblackburnn If you're interested in an actual open, transparent and honest dialogue: I don't take many ads throughout the year, only ones I think fit the channel well enough which, having 100+ videos in our XDefiant playlist on the channel, seemed like a good fit. I've been lucky enough that content has become my actual business and no, my bills are not that high, but this video helps fund the team of people I've been working with to continue making the content I enjoy making. Everything's reinvested back into the channel and the people I'm lucky enough to work with.
I have to admit, I started playing xDefiant again after taking a few months off and the game is 10x better. Camo Grind is definitely grindy but they are working towards finding a middle ground. Netcode is much better, definitely still gets once and away but not nearly as much. Overall I’m having so much fun with it
One of the best things this game can do to get more players is to list the game on steam. The only reason that my friends won't get the game is because they hate the ubisoft client.
Cause a rise but fall. Trust me it’s so many other big issues with this game. If u are dying to play a game and all u have to do is create a Ubisoft account trust me vast majomajority would have
This game is truly a breath of fresh air, I played it when it first launch and it was great, it had a few problems with sound, hit reg, and spamming hop(which you can still do ) but now it’s definitely feels balanced and the sound is top tier, I don’t think I would be going back to cod any time soon. I wish more people will come back to this game
Appreciate the vid my man 🙌 Xdefiant has evolved into a nice 6v6 fps. If you can live without a million quests, just playing the game lobby by lobby, this your game. One thing Im looking forward to is Prestiges and continuing lobbys.
As a fan of PoP Trilogy and Splinter Cell - sad to see the Ubisoft's situation; even though they took loyal, real gamers for granted. I recently made a John Wick style action montage using SC Blacklist stylish takedowns. Looks badass with music I chose. If only we got a JW game from Ubi. They had the right tools already from SC and Watch Dogs. Too late now...
CoD is all cool and dandy, but I'm still waiting to see more XDefiant videos from you again. Even when I play some CoD, XDefiant is still my main interest and your videos about it have always bin very good. :)
I couldn't stand Bo6 maps after a weekend im already back on the XD grind 😂 Nuketown is fun but ive been playing that map for way too many years now. So many people are prestige 5+ already too its wierd they talk all year about wanting progression and then finish out there camos and prestiges in a month tops
They REALLY need to bring this game to Steam...most of the time when I get on to play with friends I basically just open Discord and Steam and completely forget that it even exists lol. I really like the game, but if it is not on Steam then I don't play it as often as other games.
Y’all really just game for “content” nowadays 😂 tf happened to gaming. Not about fun not about the experience as a whole, suppose those days are history
@@diegoconchas8354more≠better. you cod players are all the same. refuse to actually acknowledge the core issues of packet burst 6. you people are like crackheads. truly embarrassing.
Been playing Cod since 2007 Modern warfare, xdefiant definitely gives old school Bo2, mw2 vibes. I mean the game was made by the true OG COD Producer mark rubin. Xdefiant has been such a breath of fresh air than the trash cods released the last 4-5 years
I started playing XDefiant again after the developers of ProtonGE upstream a patch to get the game working again on Linux, game is goated and actually works on Linux unlike CoD where, even using Proton to instsll the Windows binary, will just insta ban you cause anti cheat. The banning also applies to SteamOS as its based on Linux
@@Saiko623 yeah and the spawns are horrendous, also whatever is going wrong with the TTK, it’s all over the place, sometimes I can kill someone so quick and then half the time my bullets are not even hitting them
@eColiEspresso it's alright. Just everytine your video plays i have to emergency drop the volume thenr aise it again haha. I'm bad at audio myself so I understand how it goes sometimes
This game is not actually bad, its not getting hate because it sucks, its getting hate because of Ubisoft with the greedy anti-consumer practices, Star Wars Outlaws failure and Assassins Creed Shadows drama Just like KSI's Thick of It, I wasn't actually a bad song, it didn't get hate because it sucks, it got hate because of Lunchly drama and DanTDM beef
I had a ton of fun on this game when it launched, but then the Elden ring dlc took my attention away from it. But I’m gonna be honest I don’t think I’ll come back until they finally add prestige’s like they said they would
One has 20+ years experience, a refined game engine utilized for years, 4 years and 4000 developers, and essentially an infinite budget. One is a tiny team making a free game out of an engine never adapted to an fps and a low budget. Checks out
I haven’t played this game in awhile. The new content isn’t horrible and the game isn’t horrible it’s just hard to explain why I don’t play the game anymore.
Haven't played Xdefiant since I finished Season 2 battle pass two weeks after Season 2 launched lol 🤣 at this point I'm just waiting on Season 3 currently playing BO6 since launched getting my weapons to Gold/Diamond and eventually Dark Matter if possible lol 🤣
I put in a few hours in this game. But eventually got bored of it. Not enough updates. Heck, I’ll be ashamed to admit I tend to buy bundles on COD and they were all lackluster on this one. Pair that with the horrible Ubisoft launcher!! Ended up deleting the whole launcher😂
This game doesnt need new maps / new modes / gameplay improvements at this point. This game desperately needs replay value achived trough a meaningful progression system. It takes forever to unlock anything and the attachments change next to nothing. The mastery skins feel unreachable and the majority of weapon levels you wont earn anything
After bo6 i like xdefiant a little bit more 😂. I hope delta force and path of exile 2 hit the same. 70 dolla AAA games copy free 2 play cosmetic shop and now free 2 play make better games than big AAA games.
Unfortunately I am extremely close to becoming an XD hater im tired of new shit breaking for me every update and now i cant even play the game because every time I join or start a match my ping (that before this update was steady around 29-35) skyrockets to 200-300 and it kicks me from the game saying I have extreme internet connection issues, I have fun with this game and i love it but if this stuff is going to happen every update im out ill give the game a couple weeks into season 3. Im only posting this to share my experience not to announce my departure like anyone truly cares
They need to stop doing miniscule content drops, season 1 and 2 is about the same size multiplayer wise as 1 season of bo6. And we are still getting war zone intervention AND zombies…
Apparently season 3 has more content than seasons 1 and 2 combined, so i am optimistic about that, but we won’t know until a month or so when season 3 comes out.
i have already more camos in bo6 than in xdefiant even exist, there is literally no progression.... fractions take years to unlock, you have no purpose to play the game
I gave up on the game and I’m not touching it until I see a hard-core mode. The game sucked in first season, second season and probably the third season because nobody’s listening about adding a hard-core mode. Are you getting the hint that some people want to get a hard-core mode instead of unloading half a clip into people? Nope, I won’t be back until I see that added. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Every other first person game out there has a hard-core mode. Maybe if you’d listen to the people who play the game instead of asking for more content advice and not listening you get somewhere
Even after the latest update, I’m still getting insta killed and yet I have to use a full 30 round mag dump to kill the enemy. It’s unplayable, really. The weapon progress is agonisingly slow and pistols completely ineffective in the current state
What game are you playing? Pistols are super strong across the board, haven't played the newest version of "that other game", but XD pistols certainly a lot stronger than pistols I am used to over there in the past. You can go pistol only and don't be in any real disadvantage, often pistols outgun both SMGs and ARs, at least close range. And the Magnum, and even to some degree the Deagle is like a marksman rifle with less bullets. If you are getting "insta killed" you should probably check if maybe your reaction times is slow compared to most - and if you need a full mag to get a kill, it is your aim, not the game that is the problem. Weapon progression is slow though.... But I mean... what do you want.... they can only lose. In the other game, people are already though it - in like a month or 2.... there is a lot more shineys on the screen, but its over faster... and then there will be nothing again.... XD aim to be around for years, not just a few months, so it makes sense it takes longer. But even with that said.... A lot more shineys are coming to all the ADHD players who can't play a game just to have fun or relax.

Felt, would love to see this listed on Steam.

Air and Space is such a clean map
I thought Xdefiant had bad hit registration but BO6 takes it to a whole new level
I heard Xdefiants Netcode is better now
Really? Because I'm almost prestige 1 in bo6. I stopped playing xdefient months ago Because its thrash
😂 so true
@@spankrocketgaming294bo6 is better then xdefiant but bo6 has 10x the problems
Cod has its problems but Jeez xdefiant is super boring with slow progression. And it’s a Ubisoft game, which means cosmetic you don’t want.
i’ve been really enjoying it the past few weeks ago as someone who didn’t want to spend 70 bucks on another cod game.
Appreciate the vid my man 🙌 Xdefiant has evolved into a nice 6v6 fps. If you can live without a million quests, just playing the game lobby by lobby, this your game. One thing Im looking forward to is Prestiges and continuing lobbys.
the worst thing about Xdefiant is you never feel like you did something, the progression is garbage
Definitely think a prestige system and weapon progression track that isn't just 1-400 could have done wonders
@@eColiEspresso the game is free, there's only so much progression they can add
That’s why for me, it needs killstreaks. At least it makes me feel like I’m playing for a reason

Love Xdefiant and MWIII both keep me busy, Skipping on BO6 because imo that game is Trash.
Horrible opinion
@@rezalmao W opinion
Game is fire the only thing that’s missing is content to grind and play and we are getting that in season 3 so just a little longer we gotta wait
Missed the x defiant videos ❤
Game feels so much better now
thanks for xd- content! i love this game, the maps, the weapons, the movement!!
BO6 should’ve had maps like xDefiant. X had solid maps, felt so much like classic Cod.
Xdefiant maps are clearly better than bo6 maps right now, especially when you are still adapting with Omni movement

I really wish youd lower the volume for the intro slate. its always so loud
I'd have to check with my editor on this one. The videos I edit however, they're all mixed to be -6dB across the board. Sorry about that.
