XDefiant will never be a COD Killer. Here's why... TIMESTAMPS: Intro: 0:00 The Maps: 1:02 The Weapons: 4:16 The Operators: 8:29 My Final Thoughts: 11:32
It’s funny the thumbnail says xdefiant is bland meanwhile cod is the definition of “bland “ the irony people just can’t come to terms that a game FOREAL is actually competitive with cod. Lol
All these haters on MW3 is wild it’s been the best cod since Cold War good maps, guns, ttk, ninja perk, mini map, good kill streaks what else do you want
@@kingconor897 ”good maps” it just takes maps from Mw2009 but for some reason they changed things which makes them worse. Idk about now cause I haven’t played since like January but like 60-70% of the launch weapons were from Mw2022
it doesn't need to kill COD, it needs to fulfill the want for an fps with no SBMM in casual matches. COD gave that up so ubisoft is answering the players who miss that aspect. cosmetically all of the weapons have some sort of damage as is and some even look like patchwork weapons with certain attachments too. Some of the issues related to net-code are already either fixed or in the process of being fixed. and as far as skills go the recon is the best hands down but there are a lot uses for most of them if you can be a little more creative. i literally nuked a full squad because i flanked them on obj with a firebomb.
I definitely agree that it needs to fulfill that casual fps niche. But as of right now, I feel like with the movement (which they're working on) and the lack of game modes and basic weapons it's struggling to do so. I think the devs are committed to making this game work though so I hope we see XDefiant thriving and fulfilling something COD can't.
@@kavtheproto I don't think you understand how hard it's getting to port games to that level of hardware. Furthermore, Microsoft has put the OFFICIAL axe to ALLOWING any more Xbox One versions of new releases.
@@kavtheproto it was never intended for anything older than current and future gen consoles, so i don't think its that big of a problem. honestly idk how well it would run on them anyway. but calling it trash while it's still in pre-season is not a good idea, they are actively adding to and improving things so i fail to see why you are so upset.
@@macmoney607split gate as a game was much better than xdefiant lmao everything about the gameplay was better considering it was basically just halo but with portals
Thank you for making a very interesting video that isn’t just praising xdefiant for 30 mins, that’s the only thing I’ve seen from every other content creator. Thanks for being honest bro, good shit.
Mid game using the whole 'no sbmm' thing to market itself. Casuals will play and realise it's a terrible experience. Try hards will have fun for a while but once the casuals stop playing they'll just be playing against other try hards and start calling it a sweatfest. They might even start to claim they added sbmm lmao.
Ngl I wanna love the game but bc it’s stale I can’t keep playing just waiting on more content to truly tell hopefully with this 1st season it’ll fill some of that void so that I can enjoy it while it adds more
Nothing's Gonna kill cod except cod. Cod players are zombies, they talk about other games being stale and need more content, while playing the same content in every cod game.
@@Fl4ttt it was marketed to sweats ever since they dropped the punk fps idea. From then on it was all "No SBMM" which is an issue of Call of Duty's wannabe sweats
@@Fl4ttt yeah, you're totaly right. The Esports space has already been set in stone and it's hard to break through that wall. Sweats are the ones who are overly critical over any changes (which is why post MW2019 CoD has been seemingly very split up between different groups yet nothing outside of comments on social media reflects that there is any issue). Casuals are the ones that buy most mtx. Amount of MTX bought impacts the amount of new content. No new content makes sweats mad and that's how you get a nice loop. Look at Battalion 1944, look at Heroes of The Storm, look at R6 Siege. There are many more examples of games that either are dead or were close to dying but were brought back because of changes that made casuals interested. Ffs I used to play in smaller tournaments and would consider myself a sweat in the past, now I just wanna relax after work without making my girl mad and maybe grind some camos or something like that. 70€ a year for what I consider to be a good experience is nothing compared to waiting 5-10 minutes per match for a random lobby of wannabe pros to play on the least inspired maps in existence which have to be that way because this is the esports way of making maps, using the guns designed from ground up to not shine among the rest, doing a grind that takes 3500 hours of in game time if I play my best for all of those... I'm too old for that shit, have my 70€ and allow me to have a life outside of the game while still being able to achieve something in it.
This game is currently unplayable with its current bugs since updating. Literally there’s a bug that stop you from moving when you respawn. Going on the Reddit is toxic, and criticism of the game is always deleted. It has also become a sweat fest. Thank for not glazing it for 30 minutes
Also in cod I don't feel sbmm is a bad thing how ever when it thinks your doing as good as a person hacking you get put up against them and the thing I hear people say is it put me in with sweats and try hard stop classifying most hard matches as sweats when there hackers how ever I feel hackers are the main issue in cod, just you wait when xdefiant ends up with tons of hackers. Then what will we end up choosing,
@@creaturve4085 never said Activision was better nor was I insinuating it, but if you really think Ubi is just that much better then u must love Skull and Bones.
@@FaultyStar274 I'd rather play skull and bones which i've never even seen gameplay videos of than give mw3 the most blatantly soulless cashgrab a chance again to be honest.
@@creaturve4085 u say that like they aren't going to ditch Xdefiant in a year after pumping it full of micro transactions. Idk why u seen so keen on defending the game just bc the point of it was to kill cod, which it miserably failed at.
@@woodrow1315 X is more of a hero shooter. Cod is an arcade shooter. It's like saying cod and counter strike are the same, both are fps. But you can't really categorize them together.
Which ones? Cause I feel like this guy made a lot of very valid arguments and gave an equal space in this video to both the goods and the bads to the game without bias. So please, what takes in your opinion are “shit”?
For one it’s not even remotely the same genre as COD, it’s not meant to replace COD, and it’s FREE to play. Complaining about a FREE game is a dogshyt take within itself. Want me to continue?
@@macmoney607 got it so im not allowed to complain about warthunder's monitization? not being able to complain about a free game is the most braindead take I've ever heard
@@macmoney607 warframe, overwatch, valorant, cs2, destiny 2, world of warships. Just because a game is free, does not mean it’s free of criticism, this isn’t an indie game we are talking about here, it’s a multi billion dollar company that made a mid at best game with too many flaws. Want me to continue?
I’m so excited for COD 25 where they’ll put old cod maps and weapons again for the 10th time 😶
See if they actually gave us the good old maps without changing things I for one would be fine 🤷♂️
@@JustLikeYou.damn you like paying for shit you already paid for before?
@@beamer5374 when the new maps are actual dogshit yeah
It’s funny the thumbnail says xdefiant is bland meanwhile cod is the definition of “bland “ the irony people just can’t come to terms that a game FOREAL is actually competitive with cod. Lol
it’s a free game, with much more entertainment value than the current excuse for COD.
Although that may be true, the hype didn't completely live up to the expectation.
COD is so much better. It’s not even close
All these haters on MW3 is wild it’s been the best cod since Cold War good maps, guns, ttk, ninja perk, mini map, good kill streaks what else do you want
@@kingconor897 a less monetization heavy standard and maybe game code that isn't buggy af.

Nothing will be a COD killer unfortunately. This game is easy and casual if you dont suck and i appreciate that
I agree battlefield, cod, and even split gate are much better than xdefiant
LOL split gate. Thanks for the laugh
Lmao battlefield? You mean 2042 the worst battlefield to ever release and boring CoD with no variety....
@@macmoney607split gate as a game was much better than xdefiant lmao everything about the gameplay was better considering it was basically just halo but with portals
Its so mid its actually good and my only gripe is the bunny hopping which is gonna get ironed out anyways

They claimed it COD killer…. Then the Black Ops 6 trailer dropped 🤣
It’s preseason. I’m sure ranked and more camo grinds will help in season one.
It was marketed for a casual audience... ranked will only attract sweats to the game while the casual players will go back to COD
@@Fl4ttt it was marketed to sweats ever since they dropped the punk fps idea. From then on it was all "No SBMM" which is an issue of Call of Duty's wannabe sweats
@@lukasor9936 yeah I see your point and you’re probably right. I don’t think any fps that is marketed to sweats can last long term.

This game has SBMM.. best believe it.. its toned down tho .. not aggressive like cods
Both games are mid, but Lets pray Cod Black ops 6 has a good team deathmatch / MP
It just released bro. It's not even in it's first season
Will Brawl Stars be the COD killer?
I see what you’re saying not a problem either with the video the one thing I would say is it’s free I wouldn’t contemplate buying it if it wasn’t.

Good job on the video brother ! Keep it up!
Appreciate it!
There doesn't need to be a cod killer cod is already killing itself 😂
Deleted that shit in an hour no lie. Its literally 1st person rogue company with less features.
I just dont like the movement and that it's core
Snipers and rabbit hops in every lobby smh CoD players killed this game I already quit it
It’s an okay game. Just mid ngl.
Stop calling it a cod killer
This dude is dead on, this game will never be cod. The maps are trash and the flow of the game is no good
Its nice to see ppl start to realize the game was made by Ubisoft.
People say this shit like activision are somewhat better adding literal clowns and nikki minaj skins for 20$ to their garbage.

Fortnite better
This game isn't even in the same genre as cod. Lol
First person shooter? That’s exactly what both CoD and XDefiant are.
@@woodrow1315 X is more of a hero shooter.
Cod is an arcade shooter.

Ur comment is a shit take
shit take after shit take
Lol how is someone having an opinion is a shit take
Bad take but yes this game won't kill cod
