the abilities are from different ubisoft titles so it makes sense theres shield ands heals but since the game dropped the tom clancy title i think they can introduce new abilities.
9:39 there's a faction that can make opponents abilities work for your team or disable all opponents' abilities using their ult, there's another faction that can go invisible, another faction that has higher base health and lastly, the faction that has incendiary rounds. He could himself play as the faction with the shields, they also have a mobile shield. Moreover, there's EMP grenades that disable all abilities within affecting radius. If all of those don't make him be able to counter the barrier shields, then I don't know what exactly these "pros" think is a better game design. Dude hasn't even seen the most annoying ability yet and starts complaining about shields and heals. I don't follow CoD and popular FPS content creators for this exact reason. Only FaZe Jev and M3RKMUS1C seem to be decent guys, whom I discovered thanks to this game.

This is so much better than cod. No tracer packs no bundles that are p2w just pure cosmetics. I love the ow inspiration as a ow fan. Tbh its an amazing game
There are already plenty of games that wipe CoD as far as enjoyment goes. CoD's issue is that it's the most basic generic shooter on the market, which is a good and bad thing. It's good because the ease of access and the fairly low skill ceiling (in casual) makes it so anyone can hop in and play. The problem is that you can only innovate on that formula so much before you just make an entirely new game at that point, so Xdefiant being a CoD clone (generic shooter countering a generic shooter) isn't really that appealing to me.
No SBMM automatically elevates XDefiant above other FPS games for me. I'm so sick and tired of gaming companies trying to design every aspect of a game around addiction and hyper controlled experiences
Proximity mines and shields ruin the game for me. The opaque recoil on automatics is really lame too. The camera recoil is fake, and the actual recoil is random
XDefiant is not interesting to me. Lol feels like a reskinned cod with overwatch mechanics and I never liked overwatch. Launch day and we can’t even play 1 match.
For me it isn't even a question, because I refuse to play even one frame of any Activision/Blizzard product. Why would I if they're just going to leverage my engagement or take any money that I spend and use it to sexually harass their female staffers? CoD is copy and paste geometry viewed through a 15 year old game engine. They have no talent left, all their best developers have moved on. Activision/Blizzard cannot get a dime out of me but I'm poised to drop a couple of hundred on Ubisoft because, to the best of my knowledge, the folks over at Ubisoft aren't chasing skirts around desks day in and day out.
@@LordAtlas10 CoD is a casual shooter, it is designed for casuals through and through.

I feel like you're lowkey being a little 🐝-otch
Lol people sat sayinh its boring decided to put abilitites in in what about cod lol they have them there too
He just goes where he can get the cash from. Cod brings in more viewers and always will over xdefiant.
you're stupid asf if you think he likes xdefiant. his facial expressions showed absolute no love for this game.

Have you played the game? It does not play like a third person cs go clone.

I think things will be interesting when Black Ops 6 comes out. Xdefinant vs a CoD thats been in development for 4 years might be tough. Ngl
Xdefiant since the first beta has been a fresh breath of air... the games only going to get better if they continue to update and add content
yeah there are so many other abilities and all i just saw was shields, heals and fire.

What graphics were u in?
Is it free to play?
Yes. It comes out May 27th
@@Prof.Albusdumbledore 21.
They should definitely add an character who can emp those shields with an op gun
There's already a faction that can switch the shields so they become your team's shields.
u can equip emp nade urself. n echolan already does what u mentioned also it'll be in full launch
Editor, can you lower the volume of the video more, I can still hear something.
No SBMM automatically elevates XDefiant above other FPS games for me. I'm so sick and tired of gaming companies trying to design every aspect of a game around addiction and hyper controlled experiences

>Shield spam
"Overwatch 3 right now.'" 🤣
Man's spittin' facts tho.
This and the finals up next
The game is out or is this old, when beta was out?
Beta was 2 weeks ago, game release on May 21st
The only thing is that’s there’s no kill streaks so there’s nothing to go for but kills
Kills increase charge for your ult. But yea you’re right.
wish this game has a tdm mode without the abilities, but that'd be just cod
Proximity mines and shields ruin the game for me. The opaque recoil on automatics is really lame too. The camera recoil is fake, and the actual recoil is random
This game is scuffed 😂
if you dont like shields just spam emp grenades, they destroy them
This is just overwatch with military guns.
what a braindead take
shroud doesnt want to like it, but does
Personally think the Finals was still more fun than this, but XDefiant isn’t bad, nor really great. It’s just decent.
Bro doesn't know emp nade exists
All they need to do is add black ops 3 or 4 i cant rememberjet packs, you have literally the same game. Dif engine
Unfortunately I have no choice to play this after a week of owning a p5 cod stop working on my system and now I have no decent fps game
The finals bro trust me
This game looks like absolute dog shit
Plays like it too
new valorant ,cod , overwatch game...hmm 🤔 isee
Looks like black ops 4
1:50 desync
Its like black ops 3, kinda mid but still fun as hell.
why does the graphics look like mobile game graphics? am i the only one who feels this?
Ak is terrible better off using the M4 or MP7
shroud has the absolute worst takes on every game, not going to watch
XDefiant is not interesting to me. Lol feels like a reskinned cod with overwatch mechanics and I never liked overwatch. Launch day and we can’t even play 1 match.
cod is dead. 💀
If the best selling game every year is dead what do you call everything else
Nah he’s right. Games got a 2/10 on metacritic right now. Shits ass.

be careful what you say shroud. Cause your gripes and quips will be repeated word for word by every schmoe on youtube and twitter for years.
