It’s actually amazing that people still like “GAME IS DEAD WAH WAH DEAD GAME COD BETTER” like holy shit man just because a game isn’t in top 10 for weeks doesn’t mean that it’s a dead game
Comment right above this one is exactly what you’re talking about lol. What I hate is nonsense with absolutes. “It’s every game!!” “It’s all the time!” “It’s all I see!!” No…it’s not.
@@kanyounus2911 Dude, you're acting like the game has been around for 15 years like COD. The game just came out. What do you expect? Even classic COD had issues like connection problems, hit registration, and hit detection. With time, the game will improve. Remember, this isn't an annual release game like COD.
Homeboy has NOT done his research😂 Recoil recovery is nearly useless. The barrel that makes your gun fire faster also helps your actual recoil instead of hurting it. Imagine how good espresso could be if he put some thought into his class set ups
@@SmokinTonic Yeah, but that's kind of what research is tho. Taking what other people have tested and trying it for ourselves. Espresso just kinda half assedly puts attachments on lol
Bro you talk about research and clearly haven't tested out your claims. If you go into the firing range and test the recoil, you'll see that rapid fire+muzzle boost actually DOES make recoil worse, idk why everyone says that it's bugged when it's clearly not and you can test it out for yourself
Do you play with aim assist on or off because when mine is off im terrible but when its on at -2 settings i get a lot of kills whats your experience and recomendation?
400 levels of a "mastery camo" is such bs. Requires no skill, just game time. Hope the changes to mastery camos have something actually fun or grind about it. Also p90 >
Also, the recoil recovery stat is useless right now. It doesn't recenter if you touch the aiming stick at all so controlling recoil, tracking a moving target, or even stick drift
@ItsFaber there is no mounting, but sliding kills isn't terrible. Yes cod has terrible challenges recently, but we can just avoid those and make it point blanks, Longshot, headshots, etc. No need for terrible or unfun challenges like sliding kills
its only for me or the spiderbug its , ironically, bug?. sometimes the spider stay still and follow me even with a enemy next to me. it happens a lot on atttack. i put a ticket bbut no response so far.
I like the un seriousness of this game. Not saying its a joke. Just that i feel like it a nice game to chill out with and also a game where you can locx in a pub stomp of you want. I guess versatile is the word im looking for.
im tired of logging on after a hard days of work and having to deal with the sweaty bunny hopping slide whores....any tips on that for a casual player?
The level of frustration going against this ridiculously stupid abilities like 24/h wall hacks and spiderbot is already killing the enjoyment of this game unfortunately.. on top of that jumpspamming is so broken that if you're not doing it your dead like 99%of the fight...
Try strafing meta attachments, just pick your fav ar and use, rapid fire, small vert foregrip, leather grip, lightweight stock, and u choose the 5th attachments, makes te game feel lighter and easier
@@valentinoferraromanasse3081 attachments can make you slightly better, but if you're a bad player you'll be bad no matter what. And if you're a good player you'll play good with any attachments even with nothing equipped at all, so what he needs is just more FPS experience better decision making and better aim rather than his gun
I think both of the builds are great. But I always run the lightweight barrel. That 15% ads speed and 5% movement speed is absolutely amazing it also depends on your play style. I’m a really fast rush type player
I like the game but I do think they need to allow the other maps in other game modes be played on all game modes it will make it more fun right now the same maps can get boring
I am sorry to have to break it to you, but you are objectively wrong! The arena maps are too small for escort, the escort maps are WAAAAAAY too big for the arena modes. And not build to support those gamemodes even if you broke them up. On top of that you get a new map every month! And there is something to be said about learning the maps. I promise you, there is a lot you could still learn about the maps, even if you know your way around them all by now. You don't need a new piece of candy every single day to have fun!
@@edgoodman01 I know we live in a time where people think facts are nogetiable, but they are not, and you are wrong. There is nothing to discus, you are just straight up wrong! I am sorry if letting you know this hurt your delicate feelings.
gaining XP on this game is so slow, I swear be it battle pass or unlocking GSK 😒 Before anyone says anything I'm around level 140 so I have been playing and winning and it still feels like trash 💯
Why is no one talking about how bad the ranked system is? It's just another win/lose ranked and not based on performance. I don't think developers will ever come out with a good ranked 😂
How do you define performance? I haven't tried ranked yet, I am going to let the really sweaty highskilled players ahead so I find more around my skill level. But as they explain it, it does take performance into consideration. But if you are under the impression that high kills are the only performance that matters, you are playing it wrong. They said how someone with a lot objective time, could be considered to perform better than someone with high kill. You see this in unraked already. There is a limit to it, but I am often better than people with 10 kills more than me. Also, if the game expected you to lose, but you win, you will get more than if you win, and you were "supposed" to win.
@@nixxsaxx8681 As I said, I never tried it, I do intent to though, but I am happy with letting all the top 500 battle it out and move on without me before I try. But I see the point if you are like MVP, but on the losing team, it feels wrong to be losing point even if you lose the game.
We need more game modes. OG cods had gun game, infected, one in the chamber, snd, capture the flag, and many more as staples on launch. Regardless of OG cod, differing game modes keep you on the game. I don't mind being 'drip fed' content, but not with game modes
Team balancing is abysmal. I can count on one hand the amount of close games I’ve been in. Player hitboxes literally disappear when they jump spam. Deaths behind cover are just as frequent now as they’ve ever been. I grew tired of cod and was really enjoying this game but it’s becoming less and less fun the more I play
ARs and Snipers. They are unbeatable. Nothing can outgun them. As a shotgun main I quit. They do absolutely nothing. Have since day one. Idk why they refuse to buff shotguns. I could be at someone to death with it before the shotgun would kill☠️ it's pathetic how weak they are.
players should not drop rank on ranked multiplayer if players leave the match they need to patch that it's not fair on the other team who are still playing but losing because they don't have a full team !!!!!!! Espresso please tell Devs
I'm not trying to be rude, but it's so funny remembering all the comments I read saying, "Xdefiant will force COD to remove SBMM and EOMM" All this game has done was prove that those things were never an issue, because dear god, it's somehow gotten sweatier than cod.
It's funny how people WANT this game to die. Most if that's just: But Mah Cod better weh! Bruh. Cod is insufferable with it's EOMM. Do halfway decent for 1 game and they decide you're pro level. I'm at best Average I don't want to play against just demons or just bots. XD has it's sweats and bots but it also has a good base of average players. On top of that gunplay is solid and the communication is goated. If it's not for you it's not for you. But stop saying This Game Dead 😂 every time something either doesn't live up to your specific requirements or when your data says it's not top 10 anymore. Just play what you enjoy and let others do the same. Like me, I'm playing Elden Ring again. I'm not going out and saying Shadow of the Erdtree is dead just because journalists can't Git Gud. Anyway, loved the video, keep it up.
Xdefiant is also insufferable with the horrid net code, absolutely disgust no lifers and the fact that the abilities are so far out of balance it hurts. CoD is not better but Xdefiant still isn't fun nor is it even possible to get better with all of the sweats dominating matches. Stop acting like the game is perfect because it is not. Pair that with the hit or miss gun play, they need to work on this game a lot more and it should have been delayed further
@@projektevie I can understand the net code, bugs and cheaters beings a valid complaint. But the gunplay is solid. And they are working on balancing. As for the sweats, what did you expect? There's just as many if not more of them on CoD. I never said the game was perfect. I was just pointing out how people seem to hate this game for the sake of hating which is stupid. If you don't enjoy it, fine. That's fair. I hope you find something you fo enjoy. But it IS a more casual experience than Call of Duty, at least as far as the MAJORITY players are concerned. Now there is a very vocal minority that seem to want EOMM in XD as well which to me is..... retarded.
@kinglattice705 pretty much just crashing and bullet bending around walls. Cheaters are rampant. Overall I love the game just have a feeling it'll go the wrong direction.
@@PG-555 See that is a valid complaint and I agree, those things suck ass. But one hope is how in touch the devs are with the community. They are legitimately listening too feedback and doing their best. So, if all goes well, those issues should be resolved sooner rather than later
The collective obsession with player count data is always funny to me, honestly. T10, T20... Still an absolute shit load of players. Like tens to hundreds of thousands of players on a singular platform in the range of T10-20 is nowhere near dead lol
He is just making up stuff and theory crafting on how he think the stuff work! The muzzle booster that helped him so much with the burst delay, does not in fact change the burst delay. Though you could argue it shoots a bit faster, because it get the bullets out faster.
I haven't had a game that I could just open up after work, have a beer, and just chill with like XD in a long time.

Gonna take forever to get that shotgun secondary lol but I can’t wait to dive into season 1
It's gonna be absolutely useless. Shotguns shoot air. Now a sawed off!? It's gonna do nothing. 15 shots to kill

I get into sweaty lobbies more and more often as time goes by, and whenever it becomes too much I retreat to TFD lol
Loving the season 1 content so far. Having a ton of fun playing GSK.
For the acr i use: rapid fire, vertical tactic, reflex, fast mag, lightweight stock
Bro had beef with this guy 4:05
Great video- not enough UA-camrs cover xdefiant in this level of depth
Rockefeller is NOT in the game anymore which is a shame bc I didn’t get to try it and I don’t care for clubhouse imo
Here’s my top three:
1. MK 20.
Barrel Extender, Heavy Barrel, Tactical, Reflex, Extended Mag.
2. M60.
Barrel Extender, Rapid Fire, Tactical, Reflex, Quick Draw.
3. M16.
Barrel Extender, Heavy Barrel, Tactical, Reflex, Quick Draw.
For my roller players. Reserve S Curved is BAD now. Swap to Standard!!! ASP
