Update broke footstep audio for me. Its not like it was turned down, i just dont have footstep audio for teammates or enemies. The MF's run around completely silent.
The funny thing to me is that most people who complain about issues like kill trading and footsteps seem to forget that it's not only affecting them. Some players will find out that they are the ones who benefitted the most with kill trades and will find themselves more often on the losing end of gunfights. When footateps are increased they will assume that the guy pre firing the corner and killing them is walling but he can better hear you too after the change. The only players who will consistently be good at the game will be those who are good at adapting to these multiple changes... both the good and the bad changes.
It's a hit-scan game, that being said, the only time I'd trade kills was with the Cleaners passive incendiary rounds. The last round I played, literally every kill was a trade with no exceptions.
trades are generally rare in a FPS. I counted 8 in the first 2 games of season 2 and half the time at LEAST, im smoking them and they have 1/3rd of their health when they "frag me" too. other than the obnoxious kill trades, Id say season 2 is OK. I really hope its not intentional...
Footsteps are way too quiet in general. Screen tearing is now a thing. Corner deaths are happening just as much, if not more. Players will shoot you when they're not even facing you. And now there's frequent kill trades. The update is straight up trash.
I agree with you, I am a sniper, sure I am not the best player out there, but I can snipe good. But on xdefiant it is sooooo hard to snipe, once I get shot anywhere on the body, I am done for.
Yea exactly and how are casuals like me supposed to get 500 levels for every sniper if they're so bad. They used to be good in preseason but now they suck ass.
The problem with sniping, oke I get it they nerfed it, they added more flinch. But for someone who start now its suffering to learn. At least after all these nerfs they could made a sniper have faster ADS at least, to counter all these nerfs they added. People forget even the snipers cross in the scope is moving when you need to take a fast shot. Sniping is broken for most people. Only good players can play decent with all the negatives they added. All these cry babies run and gun but a sniper cant. In COD this is normal.
@@Sabanno I'm 1st place on shotgun leaderboard with 25k+ shotgun kills, I think I know what I'm talking about. There are movement debuffs that cause shotguns to be inconsistent along with the lack of bonus headshot damage, you have to jump very sparingly and know when exactly to do it or it'll mess you up more than help.
1. SBMM is a plague to gaming, rigging your games, and sure if you're bad it's amazing but, if you're average or above that it's simply horrible. 2. The ttk is fine, if you have an issue with it you need to work on your tracking clearly. 3. If you have an issue with movement that's equally accessible on KBM and controller then again, you need to work on your tracking. Just like in Apex Legends, if you're good at aiming movement doesn't mean anything, plus it adds a much higher skill ceiling to the game.
idk y ppl think the flinch is so bad. its easy to counter snipers but being a good sniper doesn't just mean good aim u have to play sniper. I play fine with sniper i am currently grinding the Tac-50 and its a beast. its easy to use and fun. learn to counter flinch. if u cant just dont use them. dont hard scope either bc if you do them ur just gonna die. the ads for snipers is fast in the game so use it. stop complaining. my avg kd is the exact same with snipers as it is with a lmg or ar. stop having excuses for bad reaction time. and actually try to learn how to play with them. the trading is bad tho. it wasn't bad in ur game but when i play its every other kill especially in small maps. i easily had a 3.0kd pre S2 but now i probably would have a 2.4 kd simply bc of trades. trading sometimes feels warranted ab 40% of the time bc me and the opponent both had the aim, damage, and skill but the rest are just cheap kills they got off of me bc of the registration being serverside.
@@RebelDrinkingLiberalTears i cant say i LIKE it but it definitely makes me quick scope better the tac-50 is s teir but nobody talks ab it. and flinch evens the playing field i think otherwise id never use an ar again. Im not a sniper guy either but the guns in the game makes me wanna be
@@easyred32340 That's why I solely use shotguns, they're the only weapon type I enjoy running around with, love that shotgun confidence lmao But the sniper flinch isn't as bad as people are making it out to be, one minor inconvenience these days and people lose their shit, it's wild.
@@RebelDrinkingLiberalTears i haven't tried the spas yet but the shotguns are inconsistent for me sometimes so unless its arena or rockadiddler then i dont use them much but the aa-12 really is chefs kiss. And the L115 is ass tho. Btw ur pfp and handle is up there with the best thing ive seen on the internet so far with the nikkacado guy getting skinny not even glazing
@@jchpmn8855 nobody is asking for “easy” just for it to be competitive But every non sniper thinks that it’s OP and cries because they don’t know how to outplay snipers. I hardly ever die to snipers when I’m using another type of weapon. They’re so easy to out maneuver
kill trades i have always got because i run cleaners 75% of the time. comes to sniping i guess we will agree to disagree. Sniping should take skill in this season they buffed the sniping. Sniping is in better state than last season. I think its at good in between. u should be getting more kill with AR than sniper.
CORRECTION:
This game IS Hit Scan
I said in this video and another one recently that the game uses projectiles, I was incorrect!
Understandable to think it was projectile since you have to lead your shots because of the dsync 😂
Right you are. Takes a big man to admit a mistake, weak men don't.
Update broke footstep audio for me. Its not like it was turned down, i just dont have footstep audio for teammates or enemies. The MF's run around completely silent.
My only problem with the game is matchmaking, I can deal with everything else, but I can't deal with a 1v6 99% of my matches.

@@justinp9170 that’s why I said in the video “this isn’t a complaint about my performance, because I might be the one benefiting from this”
Honestly can respect the clean commentary. Am not the biggest fan of Xdefiant but I do try to give it support. Keep up the good work
@@FadeMaster24 appreciate it!

@@MrJBA79 yeah it’s happening a lot.
And I had to correct myself in my pinned comment about hit scan
It’s nice to see that they are already working on a fix this quickly into the new season
I've had my phantom ultra cancelled after dieing to a late hit reg..... unacceptable
Same for my ded sec ult 🤕

what xD the snipers are the mosr easy thing to use, you have to be dog shit to think snipers are bad
@@Santiago4Twentythey are still good you just can’t hardscope all day long which is good
You tank that body-shot and you regroup, reposition and try again.
Try switching to your secondary to scurry away. If you're sniping and you see glint, take one shot... if you miss, don't re-peek it. Regroup.
I don’t mind trades when they aren’t all the time. So far season 2 is just way too many
I think the kill trades is a mix of netcode problems and the guns are all viable in this game
@@iiMUnFaZeD yeah! I think it’s mostly netcode.
Glad they plan to fix it.
ACHES said today that it will be fixed in the Season 2.2 patch
@@PreacHPlayz i say the guns as well because unlike in new cod games the meta doesn’t really change because every gun in the arsenal is op
Does anyone have a fix for not being able to change optics? I can change it in my load out but in-game it changes to the reflex sight every time
@@AnimeNRock186 oh that’s super annoying.
I have no idea, but I can do some research.
If I find anything I’ll put it out asap
The footsteps are ok, IF... you return the sound for invisible echelon... ridiculous.
@@exposingthetruth3821 I hate everything about Echelon
Does this game have Free-For-All yet?
or any form of non-teambased modes?
@@TrinsicOfSosaria not yet but I saw today that FFA is one of the playlists that is supposed to be coming out
@@PreacHPlayz Good news. Thanks.
Right!! I just wanna play solo I'm with you @@TrinsicOfSosaria
It’s not hitscan? I thought it was, which makes the trades even more annoying!
It is! I was wrong

You can't run and gun with a shotgun either, at least not as much as SMG and AR users can.
@@RebelDrinkingLiberalTears thats bull, a good shotgun player can do that easily, you just have to be smarter in the routes you take

@@hiro_sekai5948 cause the iron sights block a lot at distance and I can’t see.

Kill Trades are too much, but netcode feels way better overall, which seems contradictory 😂

Proxy mine is also bugged. It takes 2 hrs to throw them now
I feel like it takes 2 hours to throw everything... drives me crazy
@@PreacHPlayz thank god somebody said. The game which is promoted as fast pace everything feels so clunky and slow.
Spas 12 is also bugged, the more you die/kill with it it stacks extra recoil and the only way to reset it is to shoot your secondary.
