until they fix it at least, it bugs out so often that I’d legit rather have it instakill me than stun me from 6 feet away or trap me in the animation until I die while being invincible
@@SunW4rri0r Same, but I’d rather not have to go through a whole animation that still ends up getting me killed sometimes. It should take like 1 bullet to kill. It ruins my flow so much. Especially when there is more than one on a team.
As a COD player of over 20 years I haven't touched COD since Xdefiant released except one night to catch up with friends to tell them I am no longer playing COD.
@@justinburley8659he didn’t disparage it bro…i haven’t been on cod since this game dropped on ps5 either I won’t buy bo6 but ill gameshare it with a friend who buys all the cods hopefully its better
@@justinburley8659Myself and others have been through the cod cycle many times now and since its on game pass i will likely buy only 1 or 2 months to play cod and then go back to xdefiant before i burn out
@@patrickreyna9869 sometimes I'm pretty sure the spawn is going to flip, but it doesn't, it just goes to the other half of the same spawn, you know? Then I feel parts of the map are empty
Two main issues I have are shooting immediately after respawn due to shooting when I died and the other issue is with sniping, for some reason after quickscoping and pressing the shoot button the shot does not register until I’m no longer aiming down sight
For me the main thing that's bothering me right now in Xdefiant is the Intel suit wall hacks ability like you said in the video. I feel like there's no real counter to it I feel completely helpless whenever I get pinged on my screen. You can try hitting them with an EMP but that can be extremely difficult given you don't know exactly where they are and Everyone else on the opposing team can see you as well. you're at such an overwhelming disadvantage in my opinion. Even the Spiderbot while Super irritating to play against I can shoot it, EMP it or play the operator that allows me to hack equipment. I think if for the same amount of time as the constant ping it was a sweep or added a counter It would be far less oppressive to play against.
I feel like there's absolutely zero reason why your teammates should be able to see the wall hacks. That's such a strong ability, it should only help the player using it, but instead when you get pinged by it, like you said, you're a sitting duck.
Well, the counter-play to this is simply to not employ the camping strategy ;) I'm joking of course lol I think maybe the way to fix it is to just give the ability to the Echelon user and not their teammates. I suppose this doesn't help if there are 5 or 6 Echelons on the enemy team though 🤪
I quit due to the poor hit detection and netcode issues. The inability to consistently fight back against the opposing team destroys my enjoyment of the game. I may redownload the game and play it again if they fix these issues.
Me & My friend who are long time cod fans both have played this game. I'm ADDICTED and he has dropped the game completely and doesn't enjoy playing. For me, I love this game because of how satisfying the gun-play is. The guns feel better than anything I've every experienced in cod, (outside the OG Black Ops trilogy). The movement is SO FUN and Addicting (I like to slide around corners, jump, strafe and I can use every single gun class and compete. The specialists are both fun and kinda free kills at the same time, I enjoy using them and trying to maximize each ones effectiveness but sometimes encountering them checkmates you no matter what you do but overall I enjoy the operators. I feel like no gun is in an unusable state (however the Tac-50 is still too easy to use, I never snipe in any fps and it's my best gun on this game and feels bs) My friend dropped the game because he felt like the netcode was awful (I still die behind corners very regularly), feels the specialists are OP and spammable and hates their passive perks (120 hp phantoms, incendiary rounds, wall hacks, spiderbots), hates the spawns, map designs and the sliding, jumping meta
if he hates the maps he hates cod bc 3 lanes are just old cod maps sony your friend doesnt like arena shooters or he is one of these people who need eomm
When u understand how respawns works it helps to stop putting yourself in front of the enemy respawns and insta die xD Netcode is garbage, nothing to say there haha And the sliding jump thing, idk could be just personal preference, but if u have good aim and reaction it's fine, just shoot them, they die anyway. Is not a tac shooter tho, without movement it would be boring as hell.
No it’s not good. It’s worse since the season 1 update. Absolute trash and unplayable. Nerf the fucking ACR already, more than half the lobby is using that OP shit.
Dedsec class phone ability should have a counter tracker where if you use the phone after getting Intel pinged it instead pings the location of the person who pinged you as a counter. That would also add some more viability to it as well as an interesting counter. And it would make sense like a hacker tracking down the location of someone trying to track them just like in the Watch Dogs games.
Net code sucks......pretty much every game I use half a mag to kill, but die in 2-3 bullets. As much as I want to play this game, I just can't with what I'm experiencing which really sucks.
Thank you!!! I found someone like me. I have great internet and never ran into this issue with any other FPS game. It's unplayable. I see others dropping 40-70 kills while I struggle to get 20 and stay anywhere close to even
Ace - It’s about high time you switch from aim assist to KBM. There’s no excuse anymore to continue using aim assist now that PlayStation doesn’t have rights to CoD early releases. If you don’t want to switch, I’d love to see the video explaining why!
This. As a content creator I would love Ace to cover both controller and KnB perspective. Half of what he says in this video is just not true to the PC world. Snipers are as BS as ever, spider bots are freaking OP My idea is they have to limit class ability to only 1 player only (think of overwatch), so at most you can only have 2 players on the same faction given they select different skill. so no more swarm bots, no more spartan turtles, no more map-wide wall hacks. So the match is more balanced. Unless there is a faction mode where maybe there's 4 teams of 4 players going nuts
He should switch his input because Playstation don't have access to early CoD releases? What even is the correlation here. Bro doesn't even know what's he saying.
@@theshadowkid2000 the only reason he should keep using controllers are because he would get early access to the game and he can experiment and make content early. Now that CoD exclusive is gone, there's no point in representing FPS with controllers anymore since the experiences between MnK and controllers are drastically different
The way he's saying the game is getting better, spider bots arent a problems, and snipers are ok explains all. Because these are console experiences. On PC it's absolutely the opposite
Literally zero correlation between the topic of your comment and the topic of the video, not even the same game. Just a gibberish comment with absolutely no logic behind it and I play predominantly MnK. But you just come across as an idiot tbh
I hope they rework that spider bot, It's way too OP as of right now, people argue that it's not that hard to kill and that it's not even that good, but the reality is that it's very buggy right now, half of the time even when you do try to shoot it by shooting to the ground, it doesn't work, sometimes you get hit by the animation twice, and even when you manage to kill it you wasted ammo and revealed your position to the enemy, you have less HP so you are an easy target. Plus there are other use case you can use it offensively and defensively, you need to heal and you are scared the enemy is going to jump you hide in a corner and deploy it. You want to get intel on where enemies are drop it and follow it, You want to avoid enemies drop it and avoid it. And in objective game mode in offense if there is more than 3 spiders you literally can't do anything to get the edge, last time I played escort and we were unable to even reach the bloody thing, eitheir we were killed by campers and snipers (which is ok for an obj gamemode) or we would reach the objective and get stunt by a spider and die.
I don't think spiderbot is OP just an unfun mechanic. I don't enjoy dedsec but I played it for the character challenge. It often doesn't do anything useful, or if you do follow it you end up out in the open dying. But when you die to it it never feels like you got outplayed, just cheesed. So I would swap it out just for that reason. Maybe if they made it more skillful in some way to help push past people camping defensive points in escort, which feels like its niche to me.
Yeah, its kind of OP most of the time. On top of being hard to shoot, I find it gives me and my teammates a huge advantage whenever I stick someone with it. Just free kills and assists if you time the ability right.
The main reason why I find spiderbot annoying is because it doesn't require any skill to use and it heavily punishes aggressive and movement players. You flank a lot and push head on often? Enjoy getting spider botted every single time. As for your comment - the most bugged thing is the animation, but hitbox is consistent - always shoot at your feet even if you see no spiderbot, you will destroy it every time. It doesn't really work if you want to help your teammates tho
Spider bot is so annoying together with Intel suit those abilities has no place on the game, or they need to adjust charge rate in order to balance the game
@@lindihoxhaj4095would be better to only ping for that player or maybe they could do a full rework where you control a drone of some kind and tag targets with like a 1 min cooldown or something. There are several options they have to rebalance
This game launched at a perfrct time. I honestly dont know how this is going to go down in the next 3 to 4 weeks with other releases coming. In the FPS genre BO6 has the possibility of taking alot of the stage away from them. But... if they can fix the hit detection and netcode i think itll last. Im over 24hrs and its starting to bore me. The weapons being imbalanced makes it irritating to use anything but the 3 to 4 guns that actually work. If your up against a ACR or a MP7 with anything else your pretty much done for from the getgo. Like honestly i get the hype, i understand COD is becoming more and more ugh to the orginal fanbase, but dont ignore that this game has major problems. That will actually kill it lmao. The only real thing this game has going for it , its free, its in a dryspell, and it has some unique ideas. Fix the shit or im dropping it soon
Other than fixing the bugs, I would make the spiderbot's hitbox bigger, because currently it's frustratingly difficult to shoot before it actually jumps onto you. Another ability that lacks any kind of counterplay is firebomb, it's just a free kill every time and it's especially unfair on Occupy. I also feel like the fuse timer for the sticky grenade is inconsistent sometimes. Regardless, I love the game, and I know it will get even better once they sort everything out, especially in the hands of devs that actually listen to their community and act fast.
Im level 127 and i uninstalled the game because there's so many issues that's ruining my experience playing especially since i have alot of playtime to realize these things. first off attachments suck. barely half of them are even worth running which is rapid fire, faster movement attachments, red dot, fast mags, laser sight.. those are the good ones and thats it.. any recoil reduction attachments are useless including vertical and horizontal attachments, they dont do shit and have your gun still drift to the right.. faster ads anything sucks and barely makes any difference, damage barrel sucks, long barrel doesnt do too much.. like you barely notice any difference with most of the attachments.. even guns who need attachments does make it better but not drastically.. if your gonna have simplistic attachments like 1 of this and 1 of that.. they need to have a drastic difference to your gun.. you shouldn't have to watch xclusive ace to see the difference it makes. create a class is boring... its just your gun and a grenade ... pretty much.. perks are needed badly, im not even asking for killstreaks which would be nice but abilities act as killstreaks anyway.. im also not even asking for 3 perks im asking for at least 1 perk to run with.. make 5 really powerful perks and you have to choose one to run with in your class setup to counter the bullshit in this game or help you idk.. but something needs to be added to create a class, its boring. abilities needs massive nerfs and adjustments, spiderbot.. increase hit box, fix all the bugs. intel needs to be at least 50 seconds recharge time and nerf it only to work in the direction your looking at, not a 360 view. phantom shields needs to longer time to activate when you shoot down the shield. firebreak fire drone should not explode and the blast radius needs to be reduced, also need burn feedback when you get burned because theres none and you cant tell. all abilities needs a longer recharge time. free for all should be added thats it.. hit reg still needs improvement, some hitboxes are still broken like firebreaks hitbox, maps are 50/50, some are good some are bad.. the good ones are liberty, pueblito, showtime, nudelplex.. the bad ones are emporium, echelon hq, mayday, dumbo, arena.. some of the bad maps is possible to do well on but it takes waaaay longer than other maps to figure out and its just straight up not good.. lmg's are just way better than AR's.. i have no reason to use an AR when its low amo, most of them are pea shooters.. and of course the recoil is just absurd.. im all for increasing the skill gap and having recoil on guns, and the recoil can be controlled once you learn the pattern.. so whats the problem ? the problem is the game is fast af.. people will jump on you, move in the speed of light, hit reg sucks, really hard to track people in this game and overall shooting people in xdefiant is much harder than cod is. aim assist does not help you at all during a gunfight. xdefiant is a game where the gun needs to carry you rather than you carrying the gun. thats why LMG's are just better, they have lots of amo, most lmgs do 25 damage per bullet and almost 40 damage per headshot, and the best of all.. the recoil is so much easier to control.. it only goes up and its barely alot to.. rather than having an AR and the recoil going left right down left making u turns and shit while your going up againts the sweatiest people ever.. its just not ideal.. LMG's are the way to go with this game.. and they can be converted into speed builds and not have any recoil penalties because recoil attachments dont work.. LMG's can be fast and do more damage than AR's.. which sucks because i love AR's but i really see no reason to use them.. no recoil attachments are doing anything different to these AR's.. so why use them..
I kind of stopped playing this game. my reasoning for not playing so much is cuz I'm waiting for ranked to come out. At the time struggling to get attachments like you said hurt me liking it cuz everyone stayed with mp7 or ACR. No sniper flinch. intel suit spam and spiderbot bug. if I notice people with spiderbot. I'll throw the Emp grenade at my feet and spiderbot gets destroyed
1. Some cases, it is not possible to shoot the spiderbot of your face. It also recharges quite fast and has quite a bit of health. 2. Wallhack ability charges a bit too fast and is too powerful. 3. I still get sniped quite often even though I a shooting at them. I think it should not really happen. 4. Getting ghost hitmarkers and dealing no damage. 5. Dying around corners, but a lot less now. 6. Team balancing is sometimes way off. Doesn't matter if I get 40 kills in a TDM, I'll still lose and this happens quite often. 7. Not enough stuff to unlock. I have most guns gold already and all challenges done. I guess they'll fix that tho. 8. Shotguns are penalized too much after jumping or sliding, since you gotta do that sometimes anyways. AA12 is trash even without that. With that said, I still love the game after 70 hours :D
@@Sfishh every match of Arena or Echelon HQ I use my double barrel shottie ( I have it at gold ) & almost always top the scoreboard or at least end up in the top 3 for kills & overall score. I don’t get the hate towards shotties. Maybe it’s people trying to use them on maps with too much open space?? Even then those maps have lots of indoor spaces to keep your gunfights in.
Big issues. 1. Spider bot. Needs a nerf. 2. Teams being nothing but sonar, and thers no real counter. 3. Snipers are not flinching while I'm 6 hitmarks deep on them.
I’m hoping with season 1 they nerf the bunny hopping after the 2nd jump, rework the echelon’s intel suit & sonar goggles, make the spider slower & have 1 hp & louder so you can hear it coming, implement a mercenary playlist for us solo players since the team balance is straight up ass, stop making maps more vertical meaning get rid rid of windows & 2nd floors altogether, and most importantly upgrade the netcode & add in more servers
For the moment I can't play this game. Feels like I'm shooting marshmallows and I still die in 2 shots. I still die around corners. Also that spider bot is so frustrating. I counted, and that spider got me 12 times in one match. Ridiculous.
If I were in charge of balancing abilities: spider bot should attach to your feet, damaging you (less than it currently does) and slowing you, but not obstructing your vision or your ability to ADS intel should snapshot position instead of following the player. That, or be on a minute cool down. these are my biggest gripes with the game. i think Mag barrier is a little strong but not in need of a nerf, instead I'd like to see the lesser used abilities buffed.
I quit immediately after day one because of how horrible the community is, couldn't get one round where all of my team or on rare occasions all but one wouldn't baby rage and quit before either team even got through 1/4 score. Not a half bad game despite being unable to play with almost all of my friends, but the community is the single worst in all of gaming.
- This Creating Match sucks - Long level load sucks - Dead behind walls sucks - No damage sucks - Spider sucks - Jumping with 100% accurate sucks But otherwise it's fun 🤡
What platform are you on? Level loading is pretty quick for me on pc, only time it took forever was when the server crashed. Wym no dmg? Everything else you're on point.
i like to see how this game is evolving, and fast at that. Netcode and hit detection still need some work tho... Ps: idk if the devs watch your vids but they definetly should, you are great at giving constructive criticism.
the echelon needs some work and same with phantom the fact that they have extra 20 health on top of a shield is stupid, i run into those players 80% of the time and the other 20 is split between other 3
spider bot: What I so heavily dislike about it is how unpredictable and uncounterable it is 1) make it a one shot kill from any weapon and increase its hitbox, 2) when its on your face you dont need to look down with a short barrel gun to get it off. Maybe you can just melee it once 3) reduce its movement speed 4) make all friendly and enemy spider bots visible on the maps at all times so we can better prep for a spider bot encounter. i think if all these points were met, I wouldnt find spider bots so annoying, and they would still be just about as viable
Nerf the intel suit. Your gameplay looks calm. I have people jumping out and insta-kill me. It still takes half a mag to get a kill if they don’t run away. I am usually dead before I can react.
I like xdefiant, I am having more fun on mw3 though. Sledge has been doing great this year, xdefiant would have been better to launch last year with mw2. Xdefiasnt doesn't have sbmm, but the team balance can be so strict it can basically feel similar or worse to cods eomm. Especially for solo players with good stats. I have a 2kd, 4k skill rating and the team balance can be so punishing. Then you play parties on top of that, and it won't even tell you you're against a party!? Would love to see a mercenary playlist in XD, I'd play it much more with a mode for solo players.
I've been loving it so far and no SBMM. Everything you said is pretty spot on. I'm an above average player and it's so nice to actually feel like one again!
Cool think with the updated thoughts. You played against some of the same people me and my buddy played against. It's super fun and great nostalgic vibes seeing the same people in different lobbies. Brings back local rivalries again.
Lets be honest, the game is amazing. Its just not perfect. Stop being a blind hater you clown. 🤡 If it wasn't F2P I wouldn't be able to play it, but I'd still enjoy it. The quality of the game doesn't have hardly anything to do with the price. You could pay 70 dollars for a lot of 4/10 games and also have a ton of F2P play games that are 9/10. The two aren't related.
Here’s my suggestion for the spider bot counter-play: You should have a short window to press and hold a button on your controller where you can prevent it from latching. If you miss that window, then you get punished. Kinda like the seeker mine in BO4
Im enjoying the game still, but hitreg and ping are soo terrible that if not fixed soon ill quit playing. Also my lobbies 9/10 times require people it always starts with both teams missing 2 players..
I'm a 42 year old long time player of COD, CSGO/2 and most everything else. For the past 15 or so years since I've been playing fps's online this is the hardest game I have ever played. I keep quitting and coming back, but I think pretty soon I'm gonna uninstall if something doesn't change with the netcode, crazy movement and all that.
Game feels decent but it’s the game modes, I want more game modes maybe snd, or party games, a non specialist mode. Also I’m sure you can’t do custom games which is stupid, since I’ve been trying to just do 1v1 with my friends.
SND is confirmed for season one. Private matches are also on the way eventually. Party games are a great option. I’m sure we’ll get gun game at some point. A non specialist mode would be sick for the more casual players.
“Rust and nuketown”😂 you’re a clown, this isn’t COD this game is already way more fast paced Arena is a perfect map size we don’t need anything smaller
Loving the game so far and it's 1000x better than COD - my one big request would be a nerf to the Cleaner's faction Dying from incendiary bullets even though you killed them is frustrating alongside the fire bomb essentially being a panic button that requires no skill to activate yet can kill you instantly - other than that loving it
Honestly the intel suit doesn’t bother me in the slightest cuz the game tells me that I’m being seen but the spider bot is so annoying especially when it knows when I’m in a gunfight it attaches itself to me
I still haven't turned CoD since XD launched and in all seriousness I'll probably never play it again...or st least until they get rid of the eomm/sbmm crap. I'm only 70 hours of playtime in but I have improved so much it'd criminally insane. It took me weeks to finally have positive games and now I almost never have a negative k/d game.. and I only mention k/d because I've become a tdm ONLY player since they introduced it.
I'm still loving the game. Haven't enjoyed an FPS this much for years. Personally I'm very optimistic for the future. It's so nice to have a CoD-type arcade shooter without having to, y'know... deal with CoD.
XDefiant is the only thing that can make COD actually listen to its players. Rubin and team are putting on a masterclass on player-first mentality. It's refreshing - and the game is fun.
BUNNY JUMPS STILL OUT OF CONTROL- GETTING INSTANTLY MELTED WHILE AN ENEMY IS STILL IN THE AIR AND HASN'T EVEN FUKIN LANDED YET NEEDS TO BE FIXED! HIT REG AND NET CODE ARE HORRIBLE ATM!
Obviously netcode needs big improvement but I also would like to mantle within reason, I should be able to get to a 2nd story w/o stairs (within reason). Also, I want killstreaks. They don't need to copy them but we need SOMETHING more to work towards while playing.
@@Steve-mx9rrbro we have a mobile advanced UAV in the game, invisible enemies, robots that attack our face and stop us from playing the game, and can spray fire, but oh yeah CODs too cheesy for this game.
@@JustinWillhoitbro if you're sweating that hard to maintain a 1.0 that's a skill issue lol. I play search when I do play cod and get top of leaderboard. I love the skill based matchmaking kids crying when you must already be in a low tier of sbmm💀
Since playing XDefiant I have not felt the need or desire to go back to MW 3. It has kept me engaged and enjoying an FPS multiplayer so much more now. This is very surprising given there is no SBMM , however I think we see as a community our feedback being listened too and more importantly acted on
Stopped playing at level 75. The long time to kill + trash hit detection makes it very inconsistent to the point you can't trust your skills, and that's just frustrating
Play some XDefiant and then go play some cod. You’ll be back on XDefiant so quickly after getting constantly killed by skill-less one shot weapons and people in Teletubby skins. Ubisoft is straight up doing cod better than cod in 2024.
@@jeremybrown9611the game is averaging 500k daily players. 20k is mad delusional. Especially when data mined analytics are available online for you to look up. Just admit you don’t like the game and move on already. Zero sense in being so negative/miserable.
It’s better. But I do feel like the faction abilities are not very well-balanced. I would really like to have character specific abilities within the faction. I would also like to see my skins be interchangeable so that I could swap out different parts of my skins for my character so I don’t look just like everybody else on the battlefield.
Just started playing yesterday and I’ve been enjoying myself. I see some balance issues already but it is what it is. I’ll need more time with the game obviously but I think they took the MW2 route and prioritized fun over balance. I like feeling powerful and each class does what they should do well and each had felt fairly powerful at times. Good base to start off with just wish I had more feedback other than I'm having fun so far lol
Its so refreshing to enjoy an arcade run and gun shooter without any wierd mechanics and sbmm after what feels like forever. The last time i enjoyed a cod this much was in BO3/4.
I feel like XDefiant is actually just well made. Everything annoying is mostly that, annoying. Nothing is a deal breaker. Sure, jump and crouch spam is still prevalent, sniper flinch doesn't feel as impactful and some abilities feel overused, but overall it's still enjoyable. I think the only flawed design is that EMP grenades are basically required to play in higher skilled lobbies. It just provides too much utility for how over centralized abilities are. I also do think most issues come from the server, not the game. Like people have issues with the spiderbot. You can just look down and shoot but sometimes it visually doesn't latch on your face. And snipers not flinching much when you shoot them but that's probably more because the server didn't register every hit before the sniper took the shot. If the servers get an upgrade to their tickrates, these issues will go away.
But...but what do you mean I have to deal with annoying things in my free to play Ubisoft call of doodie smoosh bros. game? :'( Lol all jokes aside I think you're right, the game is good overall and just has small problems that I think should be addressed like regarding faction abilities and getting shot around corners. I can see the potential in the game and I'm hoping for Rabbids, maybe South Park, and (dare I say it) Might and Magic...assuming Ubisoft still owns it :')
I'm still loving it, there are definitely some issues but I love how vocal the xdefiant team are and keeping the community updated on what's happening.
Just started playing a couple of days ago and I have 6.5 hours in, 1,8kd and 2,5W/L. Biggest issue with this game for me is that the characters feel weightless. The way you move can either be described as clunky or as if the characters are floating on the map. You do get used it it pretty quick though. EDIT: They REALLY need to add SND.
I played one of the betas a while back and felt a little meh about it overall. A couple friends invited me to try it with them ~3wks ago, and I'm _hooked_ now. It feels like such a breath of fresh air after _years_ of the player-abusive CoD cycle and soul-sucking, variety-squashing EOMM. In an average game, pretty much any weapon or utility feels viable, and you're forced to adapt on the fly because you actually encounter diverse lobbies. Why on earth would I go back to CoD? I do not miss sweating my cheeks off with meta builds to go dead even every game. That's what ✨ranked✨ is for.
I just enjoy hopping on and having fun and relaxing time. Maps flow very good and the gameplay combined with no SBMM feels really good and chill to play
Honestly can't stop playing the game. 80 hours play time and I've improved so much. Skill rating above 2800 and 2.0 KD with a 1.2 win loss. All this with solo play since day one, only thing I need is console only crossplay as PS5 is a much better experience than Xbox in UK.
I really want to love this game but I am having a very hard time. I am a very casual gamer and the skill gap is huge. I don't have time to learn all the little bunny hop BS stuff so I am always at a disadvantage. Also, unless you use the AK or P90 I get wrecked. Again, I know I need to get better but as an adult with multiple jobs this game may not be designed for me. Also, I am getting that client side lag that Ace mentioned quite a bit. I get hit markers and then die and it shows the enemy took no damage. Very frustrating. I will keep trying but I have to admit my patience is wearing thin.
Had a great time and will definitely jump back in for season 1 but as a console controller player it’s the lack of gyro aim. After messing around with its in other games, shooters without gyro just feel so much more clunky. Thankfully I remember them saying they plan to implement it at some point, just not sure when that is.
I just quit playing as the jump shotting and spider botting are nuts and ruin the experience for me. It was crazy fun in the welcome playlist, when no one was jump shotting and they didn't have the spider unlocked but were still good at the game.
I think they might want add a “penalty” if the team are all using the same abilities. Like if more than 2 people are using the same ability the cool down so increase to avoid spam
Cant put this game down. Cant wait to get home to hop in. If I must have a complaint I'd say it's the changing directions mid air and when people jump your aiming goes all over the places like bullets aren't registering even if they hit. That's weird and shouldn't happen in a shooting game.
I just wish I still had the ability to aim slightly after the spiderbot jumps on. Maybe give me a tighter hip fire stread for the trade-off of the visual, audio impairment, and the movement penalty. So that way you still have a chance at defending yourself in close range.
When they said they messed up and were going to fix it in an upcoming patch I took a little break. Now that the weapon xp came back feeling really good and there was a double xp weekend I was playing a lot. Season 1 coming I'm about to play a lot of it then too. The game feels just a little lacking in the rewards and content department and that led to fatigue as well
I think the way to fix the intel suit is to make it only give maybe that one snapshot for the teammates but display them on the minimap to the team, regardless of range, for the duration of the ability. Frankly, I don't find the minimap very useful at the moment since we don't have UAVs, except for knowing where teammates are. And when the time's almost up the dots and highlights should start to flicker off and on. Also, a real problem I personally have with the intel suit highlights has to do with the map's color palettes. When they're behind cover and solid red, that's fine. But when they're in line of sight, the shading often camouflages them more than they would have been without it. (Also, that damn silver Phantom player skin is almost like a permanent Digital Ghillie Suit. What's up with that? If I was gonna buy a skin, it would sure as hell be that one.) All in all, though, I gotta say that the game is pretty good. It sure doesn't feel as rigged as CoD and I've been able to go off in some matches like I haven't been able to in CoD for a very long time. And that's what I would have asked for kind of boils down to.
@TheXclusiveAce Found an issue, testet in the gun range with the SSR (used Holo sight) and found out that the bullet shoots slightly to the right of the reticle. Could be part of the hit res issue!
TrueTrophies which has a sample size of 3.1m doesn't even have XDefiant in their top 40 list. The official PlayStation blog for the July 2024 top downloads has the game at #10 for US/Canada only and once August 2024 report comes in I bet the game will be gone from the list. The Most Played Games on Xbox charts on the official Microsoft website doesn't have XDefiant on their top 50 list anymore. Google trends has been in a massive decline and Twitch viewership has declined. The game can only reach decent viewership everytime there's a Twitch drop but that's artificial and doesn't help the game in the long term.
I was really hyped when the original beta came out and cod was in a bad state but i like mw3 more then xdefiant now so thats why I stopped playing I got my ways to play cod without sbmm and with sbmm when i want to and this makes cod more fun also im missing something like nukes and killstreaks on xdefiant obviously this is only my personal opinion
1.) per optic sensitivity, like COD (or Siege for that matter) 2.) More sniper balance with regards to flinch and one-shot regions being adjusted. 3.) ability balance (less spam, and fuck the spiderbotw). Spider bot shouldn't cover your screen. Rework it to disable ability use. 4.) Modes that are solo-friendly or prioritize matchmaking against other solos. Playing against a stack isn't fun at all.
i'm sorry but this game is far from "FIX". i'm still having issues that was supposed to be "FIX" -still dying around corner i've already turned (and it's not incendiary round or walls that can be shoot through) -bullets that don't register or having hitmarker but no damage. -jumping bunny didn't change at all, i don't see the purpose of activating sway after the 3rd jump since all gun fights are over after the first jump, i would do first jump nothing, second jump, no aim down sight, third jump sway. -flinch for Sniper don't do s*it. and speaking about sniper why fire a bullet after 10min i've already push the botton?? .The Health regen is kickin way too late. -Spawn are Fu""ed up, i can't even count how many time i died because i spawn in front of a guy firing his gun. Why spawn me next to enemy?? if this issues persist and they give us new Camo or faction or cosmetic S**t, you know that their proirity is not the game but YOUR MONEY.
I'm level 80, I played quite a lot. I play less now than 3-4 weeks since most of my friends stopped playing. They stopped playing because they are NOT Call Of Duty fans. They never play COD, so them playing XDefiant with me for a few weeks was a surprise :)

Remove spider bot!!!
Yes please
I throw emp as soon as I hear it
until they fix it at least, it bugs out so often that I’d legit rather have it instakill me than stun me from 6 feet away or trap me in the animation until I die while being invincible
It only does 30-50 damage
@@SunW4rri0r Same, but I’d rather not have to go through a whole animation that still ends up getting me killed sometimes. It should take like 1 bullet to kill. It ruins my flow so much. Especially when there is more than one on a team.
As a COD player of over 20 years I haven't touched COD since Xdefiant released except one night to catch up with friends to tell them I am no longer playing COD.

Does anyone know if the automatic Sprint option already exists? I haven't played the game in a month.
@@Haildarkart it does. I noticed it in the settings yesterday
Two main issues I have are shooting immediately after respawn due to shooting when I died and the other issue is with sniping, for some reason after quickscoping and pressing the shoot button the shot does not register until I’m no longer aiming down sight
This. This has been driving me crazy.
I can quickscope now and it seems to work. I did some super quick ones. Seems like an update happened.
@@WildStyle I played roughly 12 hours ago when it happened, maybe they did an update? I’ll find out later tonight 😁
i think the shot not registering is because the bolt action is a lot slower than what we are used to in cod.
@@conayoll It doesnt happen on follow-up shots alone, sometimes the first bullet in the barrel does this.
For me the main thing that's bothering me right now in Xdefiant is the Intel suit wall hacks ability like you said in the video. I feel like there's no real counter to it I feel completely helpless whenever I get pinged on my screen. You can try hitting them with an EMP but that can be extremely difficult given you don't know exactly where they are and Everyone else on the opposing team can see you as well. you're at such an overwhelming disadvantage in my opinion. Even the Spiderbot while Super irritating to play against I can shoot it, EMP it or play the operator that allows me to hack equipment. I think if for the same amount of time as the constant ping it was a sweep or added a counter It would be far less oppressive to play against.
I feel like there's absolutely zero reason why your teammates should be able to see the wall hacks. That's such a strong ability, it should only help the player using it, but instead when you get pinged by it, like you said, you're a sitting duck.
If you play against a full stacked enemy team that all uses it and can coordinate when to use it, you are absolutely getting smoked. No counter to it
Well, the counter-play to this is simply to not employ the camping strategy ;) I'm joking of course lol I think maybe the way to fix it is to just give the ability to the Echelon user and not their teammates. I suppose this doesn't help if there are 5 or 6 Echelons on the enemy team though 🤪
I’m the “Spiderbots are for noobs who can’t win a fair 1v1”-Button
I bet you're one of the people who see someone and shoot a shield at their feet :D
@jobinzookiyes, losing all control of my character and being entirely unable to fight back is worse than someone near me knowing where I am..
@jobinzooki Someone knowing where you are isn't really that big of a deal. Being completely unable to do anything is much worse.
I quit due to the poor hit detection and netcode issues. The inability to consistently fight back against the opposing team destroys my enjoyment of the game.
I may redownload the game and play it again if they fix these issues.
Reduce spider bot health so it can be destroyed in 1 shot
git gud

That would make it useless
It was like that in one of the beta tests and it was perfectly fine. Idk why they changed it lol
DELETE IT 😑
Me & My friend who are long time cod fans both have played this game. I'm ADDICTED and he has dropped the game completely and doesn't enjoy playing.
For me, I love this game because of how satisfying the gun-play is. The guns feel better than anything I've every experienced in cod, (outside the OG Black Ops trilogy). The movement is SO FUN and Addicting (I like to slide around corners, jump, strafe and I can use every single gun class and compete. The specialists are both fun and kinda free kills at the same time, I enjoy using them and trying to maximize each ones effectiveness but sometimes encountering them checkmates you no matter what you do but overall I enjoy the operators. I feel like no gun is in an unusable state (however the Tac-50 is still too easy to use, I never snipe in any fps and it's my best gun on this game and feels bs)
My friend dropped the game because he felt like the netcode was awful (I still die behind corners very regularly), feels the specialists are OP and spammable and hates their passive perks (120 hp phantoms, incendiary rounds, wall hacks, spiderbots), hates the spawns, map designs and the sliding, jumping meta
if he hates the maps he hates cod bc 3 lanes are just old cod maps sony your friend doesnt like arena shooters or he is one of these people who need eomm
@@shusakudake you're reaching harder than Reed Richards 😂
@@shusakudaketoo many head glitching spots tbh, the 3 lanes are fine
Bro if he hates the maps and spawns idk wtf he is looking for. Friend sounds like a bot
When u understand how respawns works it helps to stop putting yourself in front of the enemy respawns and insta die xD
Netcode is garbage, nothing to say there haha
And the sliding jump thing, idk could be just personal preference, but if u have good aim and reaction it's fine, just shoot them, they die anyway. Is not a tac shooter tho, without movement it would be boring as hell.
No it’s not good. It’s worse since the season 1 update. Absolute trash and unplayable. Nerf the fucking ACR already, more than half the lobby is using that OP shit.
Dedsec class phone ability should have a counter tracker where if you use the phone after getting Intel pinged it instead pings the location of the person who pinged you as a counter. That would also add some more viability to it as well as an interesting counter. And it would make sense like a hacker tracking down the location of someone trying to track them just like in the Watch Dogs games.
I thought the ping waves kind of tell you where it’s coming from.
maybe I just imagined it idk
What a fantastic idea! this would definitely help a lot. It would reduce the number of players using echelon and would promote people using deck sec.
Tweet that to mark rubin, he's likely to see it and consider it
Net code sucks......pretty much every game I use half a mag to kill, but die in 2-3 bullets. As much as I want to play this game, I just can't with what I'm experiencing which really sucks.
Thank you!!! I found someone like me. I have great internet and never ran into this issue with any other FPS game. It's unplayable. I see others dropping 40-70 kills while I struggle to get 20 and stay anywhere close to even

Ace - It’s about high time you switch from aim assist to KBM. There’s no excuse anymore to continue using aim assist now that PlayStation doesn’t have rights to CoD early releases.
If you don’t want to switch, I’d love to see the video explaining why!
This. As a content creator I would love Ace to cover both controller and KnB perspective.
Half of what he says in this video is just not true to the PC world. Snipers are as BS as ever, spider bots are freaking OP
My idea is they have to limit class ability to only 1 player only (think of overwatch), so at most you can only have 2 players on the same faction given they select different skill. so no more swarm bots, no more spartan turtles, no more map-wide wall hacks. So the match is more balanced.
Unless there is a faction mode where maybe there's 4 teams of 4 players going nuts
He should switch his input because Playstation don't have access to early CoD releases?
What even is the correlation here. Bro doesn't even know what's he saying.
@@theshadowkid2000 the only reason he should keep using controllers are because he would get early access to the game and he can experiment and make content early.
Now that CoD exclusive is gone, there's no point in representing FPS with controllers anymore since the experiences between MnK and controllers are drastically different
The way he's saying the game is getting better, spider bots arent a problems, and snipers are ok explains all. Because these are console experiences.
On PC it's absolutely the opposite
Literally zero correlation between the topic of your comment and the topic of the video, not even the same game.
Just a gibberish comment with absolutely no logic behind it and I play predominantly MnK. But you just come across as an idiot tbh
I hope they rework that spider bot, It's way too OP as of right now, people argue that it's not that hard to kill and that it's not even that good, but the reality is that it's very buggy right now, half of the time even when you do try to shoot it by shooting to the ground, it doesn't work, sometimes you get hit by the animation twice, and even when you manage to kill it you wasted ammo and revealed your position to the enemy, you have less HP so you are an easy target.
Plus there are other use case you can use it offensively and defensively, you need to heal and you are scared the enemy is going to jump you hide in a corner and deploy it. You want to get intel on where enemies are drop it and follow it, You want to avoid enemies drop it and avoid it. And in objective game mode in offense if there is more than 3 spiders you literally can't do anything to get the edge, last time I played escort and we were unable to even reach the bloody thing, eitheir we were killed by campers and snipers (which is ok for an obj gamemode) or we would reach the objective and get stunt by a spider and die.
I don't think spiderbot is OP just an unfun mechanic. I don't enjoy dedsec but I played it for the character challenge. It often doesn't do anything useful, or if you do follow it you end up out in the open dying. But when you die to it it never feels like you got outplayed, just cheesed. So I would swap it out just for that reason. Maybe if they made it more skillful in some way to help push past people camping defensive points in escort, which feels like its niche to me.
Yeah, its kind of OP most of the time. On top of being hard to shoot, I find it gives me and my teammates a huge advantage whenever I stick someone with it. Just free kills and assists if you time the ability right.
The main reason why I find spiderbot annoying is because it doesn't require any skill to use and it heavily punishes aggressive and movement players. You flank a lot and push head on often? Enjoy getting spider botted every single time.
As for your comment - the most bugged thing is the animation, but hitbox is consistent - always shoot at your feet even if you see no spiderbot, you will destroy it every time. It doesn't really work if you want to help your teammates tho
Spider bot is so annoying together with Intel suit those abilities has no place on the game, or they need to adjust charge rate in order to balance the game
@@lindihoxhaj4095would be better to only ping for that player or maybe they could do a full rework where you control a drone of some kind and tag targets with like a 1 min cooldown or something. There are several options they have to rebalance
This game launched at a perfrct time. I honestly dont know how this is going to go down in the next 3 to 4 weeks with other releases coming. In the FPS genre BO6 has the possibility of taking alot of the stage away from them. But... if they can fix the hit detection and netcode i think itll last. Im over 24hrs and its starting to bore me. The weapons being imbalanced makes it irritating to use anything but the 3 to 4 guns that actually work. If your up against a ACR or a MP7 with anything else your pretty much done for from the getgo.
Like honestly i get the hype, i understand COD is becoming more and more ugh to the orginal fanbase, but dont ignore that this game has major problems. That will actually kill it lmao. The only real thing this game has going for it , its free, its in a dryspell, and it has some unique ideas. Fix the shit or im dropping it soon
Other than fixing the bugs, I would make the spiderbot's hitbox bigger, because currently it's frustratingly difficult to shoot before it actually jumps onto you.
Another ability that lacks any kind of counterplay is firebomb, it's just a free kill every time and it's especially unfair on Occupy.
I also feel like the fuse timer for the sticky grenade is inconsistent sometimes.
Regardless, I love the game, and I know it will get even better once they sort everything out, especially in the hands of devs that actually listen to their community and act fast.
I noticed that you can’t shoot it if you are on stairs 😂. Or some ledge. It’s disappearing.
Im level 127 and i uninstalled the game because there's so many issues that's ruining my experience playing especially since i have alot of playtime to realize these things. first off attachments suck. barely half of them are even worth running which is rapid fire, faster movement attachments, red dot, fast mags, laser sight.. those are the good ones and thats it.. any recoil reduction attachments are useless including vertical and horizontal attachments, they dont do shit and have your gun still drift to the right.. faster ads anything sucks and barely makes any difference, damage barrel sucks, long barrel doesnt do too much.. like you barely notice any difference with most of the attachments.. even guns who need attachments does make it better but not drastically.. if your gonna have simplistic attachments like 1 of this and 1 of that.. they need to have a drastic difference to your gun.. you shouldn't have to watch xclusive ace to see the difference it makes.
create a class is boring... its just your gun and a grenade ... pretty much.. perks are needed badly, im not even asking for killstreaks which would be nice but abilities act as killstreaks anyway.. im also not even asking for 3 perks im asking for at least 1 perk to run with.. make 5 really powerful perks and you have to choose one to run with in your class setup to counter the bullshit in this game or help you idk.. but something needs to be added to create a class, its boring.
abilities needs massive nerfs and adjustments, spiderbot.. increase hit box, fix all the bugs. intel needs to be at least 50 seconds recharge time and nerf it only to work in the direction your looking at, not a 360 view. phantom shields needs to longer time to activate when you shoot down the shield. firebreak fire drone should not explode and the blast radius needs to be reduced, also need burn feedback when you get burned because theres none and you cant tell. all abilities needs a longer recharge time.
free for all should be added thats it..
hit reg still needs improvement, some hitboxes are still broken like firebreaks hitbox,
maps are 50/50, some are good some are bad.. the good ones are liberty, pueblito, showtime, nudelplex.. the bad ones are emporium, echelon hq, mayday, dumbo, arena.. some of the bad maps is possible to do well on but it takes waaaay longer than other maps to figure out and its just straight up not good..
lmg's are just way better than AR's.. i have no reason to use an AR when its low amo, most of them are pea shooters.. and of course the recoil is just absurd.. im all for increasing the skill gap and having recoil on guns, and the recoil can be controlled once you learn the pattern.. so whats the problem ? the problem is the game is fast af.. people will jump on you, move in the speed of light, hit reg sucks, really hard to track people in this game and overall shooting people in xdefiant is much harder than cod is. aim assist does not help you at all during a gunfight. xdefiant is a game where the gun needs to carry you rather than you carrying the gun. thats why LMG's are just better, they have lots of amo, most lmgs do 25 damage per bullet and almost 40 damage per headshot, and the best of all.. the recoil is so much easier to control.. it only goes up and its barely alot to.. rather than having an AR and the recoil going left right down left making u turns and shit while your going up againts the sweatiest people ever.. its just not ideal.. LMG's are the way to go with this game.. and they can be converted into speed builds and not have any recoil penalties because recoil attachments dont work.. LMG's can be fast and do more damage than AR's.. which sucks because i love AR's but i really see no reason to use them.. no recoil attachments are doing anything different to these AR's.. so why use them..
Jeez get a life
Number 1, get a life and number 2 most of these problems just boil down to it not being a carbon cod clone.
And people called this game the cod killer lmao 🤣🤣
I kind of stopped playing this game. my reasoning for not playing so much is cuz I'm waiting for ranked to come out. At the time struggling to get attachments like you said hurt me liking it cuz everyone stayed with mp7 or ACR. No sniper flinch. intel suit spam and spiderbot bug. if I notice people with spiderbot. I'll throw the Emp grenade at my feet and spiderbot gets destroyed

@@TheXclusiveAce okay fair enough
1. Some cases, it is not possible to shoot the spiderbot of your face. It also recharges quite fast and has quite a bit of health.
2. Wallhack ability charges a bit too fast and is too powerful.
3. I still get sniped quite often even though I a shooting at them. I think it should not really happen.
4. Getting ghost hitmarkers and dealing no damage.
5. Dying around corners, but a lot less now.
6. Team balancing is sometimes way off. Doesn't matter if I get 40 kills in a TDM, I'll still lose and this happens quite often.
7. Not enough stuff to unlock. I have most guns gold already and all challenges done. I guess they'll fix that tho.
8. Shotguns are penalized too much after jumping or sliding, since you gotta do that sometimes anyways. AA12 is trash even without that.

Big issues.
1. Spider bot. Needs a nerf.
2. Teams being nothing but sonar, and thers no real counter.
3. Snipers are not flinching while I'm 6 hitmarks deep on them.
I’m hoping with season 1 they nerf the bunny hopping after the 2nd jump, rework the echelon’s intel suit & sonar goggles, make the spider slower & have 1 hp & louder so you can hear it coming, implement a mercenary playlist for us solo players since the team balance is straight up ass, stop making maps more vertical meaning get rid rid of windows & 2nd floors altogether, and most importantly upgrade the netcode & add in more servers
Im glad its a little cartoonish. Ive never understood why COD HAS TO BE real looking. Its a fu@king video game.

Skill issue
@@ShrimpCup 😂😂 right...
One counter to spider bot is to just run away from it
The spiderbot is just absolutely cheesing a free kill, it's so annoying it's unreal.
If I were in charge of balancing abilities:
spider bot should attach to your feet, damaging you (less than it currently does) and slowing you, but not obstructing your vision or your ability to ADS
intel should snapshot position instead of following the player. That, or be on a minute cool down.
these are my biggest gripes with the game. i think Mag barrier is a little strong but not in need of a nerf, instead I'd like to see the lesser used abilities buffed.
I quit immediately after day one because of how horrible the community is, couldn't get one round where all of my team or on rare occasions all but one wouldn't baby rage and quit before either team even got through 1/4 score. Not a half bad game despite being unable to play with almost all of my friends, but the community is the single worst in all of gaming.

spider bot: What I so heavily dislike about it is how unpredictable and uncounterable it is 1) make it a one shot kill from any weapon and increase its hitbox, 2) when its on your face you dont need to look down with a short barrel gun to get it off. Maybe you can just melee it once 3) reduce its movement speed 4) make all friendly and enemy spider bots visible on the maps at all times so we can better prep for a spider bot encounter. i think if all these points were met, I wouldnt find spider bots so annoying, and they would still be just about as viable
If they did all of that it would be useless
Nerf the intel suit. Your gameplay looks calm. I have people jumping out and insta-kill me. It still takes half a mag to get a kill if they don’t run away. I am usually dead before I can react.
Get better
I like xdefiant, I am having more fun on mw3 though. Sledge has been doing great this year, xdefiant would have been better to launch last year with mw2. Xdefiasnt doesn't have sbmm, but the team balance can be so strict it can basically feel similar or worse to cods eomm. Especially for solo players with good stats. I have a 2kd, 4k skill rating and the team balance can be so punishing. Then you play parties on top of that, and it won't even tell you you're against a party!?

Loving the game so far and it's 1000x better than COD - my one big request would be a nerf to the Cleaner's faction
Dying from incendiary bullets even though you killed them is frustrating alongside the fire bomb essentially being a panic button that requires no skill to activate yet can kill you instantly - other than that loving it
Honestly the intel suit doesn’t bother me in the slightest cuz the game tells me that I’m being seen but the spider bot is so annoying especially when it knows when I’m in a gunfight it attaches itself to me
Short answer: trash
I still haven't turned CoD since XD launched and in all seriousness I'll probably never play it again...or st least until they get rid of the eomm/sbmm crap. I'm only 70 hours of playtime in but I have improved so much it'd criminally insane. It took me weeks to finally have positive games and now I almost never have a negative k/d game.. and I only mention k/d because I've become a tdm ONLY player since they introduced it.
I was on the same boat it’s really nice seeing improvement loving the game.
I'm still loving the game. Haven't enjoyed an FPS this much for years. Personally I'm very optimistic for the future. It's so nice to have a CoD-type arcade shooter without having to, y'know... deal with CoD.
XDefiant is the only thing that can make COD actually listen to its players. Rubin and team are putting on a masterclass on player-first mentality. It's refreshing - and the game is fun.
COD has been listening to it's players surprisingly... unless you are a zombies fan cuz we are shit out of luck until BO6
@@MaddoxRaptorOne I have to say Sledgehammer has been doing well in that respect - like they did with WWII. Activision seems to be the main culprit.
BUNNY JUMPS STILL OUT OF CONTROL- GETTING INSTANTLY MELTED WHILE AN ENEMY IS STILL IN THE AIR AND HASN'T EVEN FUKIN LANDED YET NEEDS TO BE FIXED! HIT REG AND NET CODE ARE HORRIBLE ATM!
youre just garbage at the game
Obviously netcode needs big improvement but I also would like to mantle within reason, I should be able to get to a 2nd story w/o stairs (within reason). Also, I want killstreaks. They don't need to copy them but we need SOMETHING more to work towards while playing.
killstreaks can stay in CoD, we dont need such a cheesy BS stuff.
Mate there’s yellow tape, or something equivalent that indicates what you can climb!
We don’t need kill streaks though
Hell no, keep killstreaks far away from this game. The last thing we need is ANOTHER reason for people to camp and ignore the objective.
@@Steve-mx9rrbro we have a mobile advanced UAV in the game, invisible enemies, robots that attack our face and stop us from playing the game, and can spray fire, but oh yeah CODs too cheesy for this game.
@@calamelli209 make them score streaks then so obj play gets you streaks faster
This game unfortunately has turned into a bunch of cheese
What does that even mean
I was so burnt out on CoD. Xdefiant gave me a reason to enjoy FPS games again. Ive already put more hours into it than I did MWII and MWIII
It’s as simple as not having to sweat my ass off to go 1.0 KD
@@JustinWillhoitbro if you're sweating that hard to maintain a 1.0 that's a skill issue lol. I play search when I do play cod and get top of leaderboard. I love the skill based matchmaking kids crying when you must already be in a low tier of sbmm💀
@Soggysenpai maybe Justin's lifetime achievement isn't being good at shooting kids on games.
^absolutely cooked
@@SoggysenpaiI think it's time you go out and get a social life son :)
Since playing XDefiant I have not felt the need or desire to go back to MW 3. It has kept me engaged and enjoying an FPS multiplayer so much more now. This is very surprising given there is no SBMM , however I think we see as a community our feedback being listened too and more importantly acted on
Stopped playing at level 75. The long time to kill + trash hit detection makes it very inconsistent to the point you can't trust your skills, and that's just frustrating
Its funny i didnt like it at launch but i tried it again last night and had a blast
Play some XDefiant and then go play some cod. You’ll be back on XDefiant so quickly after getting constantly killed by skill-less one shot weapons and people in Teletubby skins. Ubisoft is straight up doing cod better than cod in 2024.
lol I Played XD, went back to MW3 and never went back to XD. I actually picked up The Finals over going back to XD
XD isn't even cracking 20K. It'll be dead before October.
@@jeremybrown9611 you should be happy that the single game “gamers” like you have a viable alternative now
@@jeremybrown9611the game is averaging 500k daily players. 20k is mad delusional. Especially when data mined analytics are available online for you to look up. Just admit you don’t like the game and move on already. Zero sense in being so negative/miserable.
@@jeremybrown9611 well over 20k
We need a mode with no abilities
TheXDefiantAce has uploaded! Let’s gooooo!
Bunny hopping, no kill cam and no FFA ran me off😞
It’s better. But I do feel like the faction abilities are not very well-balanced. I would really like to have character specific abilities within the faction. I would also like to see my skins be interchangeable so that I could swap out different parts of my skins for my character so I don’t look just like everybody else on the battlefield.
Just started playing yesterday and I’ve been enjoying myself. I see some balance issues already but it is what it is. I’ll need more time with the game obviously but I think they took the MW2 route and prioritized fun over balance. I like feeling powerful and each class does what they should do well and each had felt fairly powerful at times. Good base to start off with just wish I had more feedback other than I'm having fun so far lol
Its so refreshing to enjoy an arcade run and gun shooter without any wierd mechanics and sbmm after what feels like forever. The last time i enjoyed a cod this much was in BO3/4.
Bo4 was the shit I still play it on and off. The only cod I actually prestige mastered.
BO4 also had aggressive matchmaking.. arguably the first one to do it.
@@Babybarschalarm all though I agree with the matchmaking it still had persistent matchmaking so it’s the last real cod.
I feel like XDefiant is actually just well made. Everything annoying is mostly that, annoying. Nothing is a deal breaker.
Sure, jump and crouch spam is still prevalent, sniper flinch doesn't feel as impactful and some abilities feel overused, but overall it's still enjoyable. I think the only flawed design is that EMP grenades are basically required to play in higher skilled lobbies. It just provides too much utility for how over centralized abilities are.
I also do think most issues come from the server, not the game. Like people have issues with the spiderbot. You can just look down and shoot but sometimes it visually doesn't latch on your face. And snipers not flinching much when you shoot them but that's probably more because the server didn't register every hit before the sniper took the shot. If the servers get an upgrade to their tickrates, these issues will go away.
But...but what do you mean I have to deal with annoying things in my free to play Ubisoft call of doodie smoosh bros. game? :'( Lol all jokes aside I think you're right, the game is good overall and just has small problems that I think should be addressed like regarding faction abilities and getting shot around corners. I can see the potential in the game and I'm hoping for Rabbids, maybe South Park, and (dare I say it) Might and Magic...assuming Ubisoft still owns it :')
I'm still loving it, there are definitely some issues but I love how vocal the xdefiant team are and keeping the community updated on what's happening.
They need to fix that damn hit detection
I hope this game becomes the next Fortnite
It won’t. This game has a ceiling. We’ve seen games like this come and go.
@1openborder Fortnite has many ceilings, you can even build a ceiling yourself
Lol its not
I do love the game. It just feels so fun.. I actually care about winning and can feel my impact on every game
The Snipers need a huge nerf tired of getting rocked every game cuz ppl can't usr anything else is getting annoying
Snipe back.
@@JHayes90 That's the same as admitting defeat
Just started playing a couple of days ago and I have 6.5 hours in, 1,8kd and 2,5W/L. Biggest issue with this game for me is that the characters feel weightless. The way you move can either be described as clunky or as if the characters are floating on the map. You do get used it it pretty quick though. EDIT: They REALLY need to add SND.
30 seconds ago is arousing😍
no
I played one of the betas a while back and felt a little meh about it overall. A couple friends invited me to try it with them ~3wks ago, and I'm _hooked_ now. It feels like such a breath of fresh air after _years_ of the player-abusive CoD cycle and soul-sucking, variety-squashing EOMM. In an average game, pretty much any weapon or utility feels viable, and you're forced to adapt on the fly because you actually encounter diverse lobbies. Why on earth would I go back to CoD? I do not miss sweating my cheeks off with meta builds to go dead even every game. That's what ✨ranked✨ is for.
I just enjoy hopping on and having fun and relaxing time. Maps flow very good and the gameplay combined with no SBMM feels really good and chill to play
Ranked, and Search and Destroy with new Weapons and Maps dropping in 2 Days with Season 1.
Where did you hear that from?
@@PackerManForLife its something well known xd
yall better start thinking about buying all their skins since this is a free game or Ubisoft gonna shut this shit down real quick. 🤣
Honestly can't stop playing the game. 80 hours play time and I've improved so much. Skill rating above 2800 and 2.0 KD with a 1.2 win loss. All this with solo play since day one, only thing I need is console only crossplay as PS5 is a much better experience than Xbox in UK.
Touch grass
I'm still loving it but my friends are losing interest sadly.
I still love it and all my freinds have hopped on right before S1 so I think they will be here longer try asking them to come back after s1 drops
I really want to love this game but I am having a very hard time. I am a very casual gamer and the skill gap is huge. I don't have time to learn all the little bunny hop BS stuff so I am always at a disadvantage. Also, unless you use the AK or P90 I get wrecked. Again, I know I need to get better but as an adult with multiple jobs this game may not be designed for me. Also, I am getting that client side lag that Ace mentioned quite a bit. I get hit markers and then die and it shows the enemy took no damage. Very frustrating. I will keep trying but I have to admit my patience is wearing thin.
I didn't know you were a dad! Congratulations!
Had a great time and will definitely jump back in for season 1 but as a console controller player it’s the lack of gyro aim. After messing around with its in other games, shooters without gyro just feel so much more clunky. Thankfully I remember them saying they plan to implement it at some point, just not sure when that is.
For me the netcod was massively improved but i agree with you it still needs work
I just quit playing as the jump shotting and spider botting are nuts and ruin the experience for me. It was crazy fun in the welcome playlist, when no one was jump shotting and they didn't have the spider unlocked but were still good at the game.
I think they might want add a “penalty” if the team are all using the same abilities. Like if more than 2 people are using the same ability the cool down so increase to avoid spam
Cant put this game down. Cant wait to get home to hop in. If I must have a complaint I'd say it's the changing directions mid air and when people jump your aiming goes all over the places like bullets aren't registering even if they hit. That's weird and shouldn't happen in a shooting game.
I just wish I still had the ability to aim slightly after the spiderbot jumps on. Maybe give me a tighter hip fire stread for the trade-off of the visual, audio impairment, and the movement penalty. So that way you still have a chance at defending yourself in close range.
When they said they messed up and were going to fix it in an upcoming patch I took a little break. Now that the weapon xp came back feeling really good and there was a double xp weekend I was playing a lot. Season 1 coming I'm about to play a lot of it then too. The game feels just a little lacking in the rewards and content department and that led to fatigue as well
I think the way to fix the intel suit is to make it only give maybe that one snapshot for the teammates but display them on the minimap to the team, regardless of range, for the duration of the ability. Frankly, I don't find the minimap very useful at the moment since we don't have UAVs, except for knowing where teammates are. And when the time's almost up the dots and highlights should start to flicker off and on. Also, a real problem I personally have with the intel suit highlights has to do with the map's color palettes. When they're behind cover and solid red, that's fine. But when they're in line of sight, the shading often camouflages them more than they would have been without it. (Also, that damn silver Phantom player skin is almost like a permanent Digital Ghillie Suit. What's up with that? If I was gonna buy a skin, it would sure as hell be that one.) All in all, though, I gotta say that the game is pretty good. It sure doesn't feel as rigged as CoD and I've been able to go off in some matches like I haven't been able to in CoD for a very long time. And that's what I would have asked for kind of boils down to.
@TheXclusiveAce Found an issue, testet in the gun range with the SSR (used Holo sight) and found out that the bullet shoots slightly to the right of the reticle. Could be part of the hit res issue!
TrueTrophies which has a sample size of 3.1m doesn't even have XDefiant in their top 40 list. The official PlayStation blog for the July 2024 top downloads has the game at #10 for US/Canada only and once August 2024 report comes in I bet the game will be gone from the list. The Most Played Games on Xbox charts on the official Microsoft website doesn't have XDefiant on their top 50 list anymore. Google trends has been in a massive decline and Twitch viewership has declined. The game can only reach decent viewership everytime there's a Twitch drop but that's artificial and doesn't help the game in the long term.
I was really hyped when the original beta came out and cod was in a bad state but i like mw3 more then xdefiant now so thats why I stopped playing I got my ways to play cod without sbmm and with sbmm when i want to and this makes cod more fun also im missing something like nukes and killstreaks on xdefiant obviously this is only my personal opinion
Lasted a week, game is done.
That Spider-thing that jumps in your face is the main reason im not installing this game. It looks incredibly obnoxious
1.) per optic sensitivity, like COD (or Siege for that matter)
2.) More sniper balance with regards to flinch and one-shot regions being adjusted.
3.) ability balance (less spam, and fuck the spiderbotw). Spider bot shouldn't cover your screen. Rework it to disable ability use.
4.) Modes that are solo-friendly or prioritize matchmaking against other solos. Playing against a stack isn't fun at all.
i'm sorry but this game is far from "FIX". i'm still having issues that was supposed to be "FIX"
-still dying around corner i've already turned (and it's not incendiary round or walls that can be shoot through)
-bullets that don't register or having hitmarker but no damage.
-jumping bunny didn't change at all, i don't see the purpose of activating sway after the 3rd jump since all gun fights are over after the first jump,
i would do first jump nothing, second jump, no aim down sight, third jump sway.
-flinch for Sniper don't do s*it. and speaking about sniper why fire a bullet after 10min i've already push the botton??
.The Health regen is kickin way too late.
-Spawn are Fu""ed up, i can't even count how many time i died because i spawn in front of a guy firing his gun. Why spawn me next to enemy??
if this issues persist and they give us new Camo or faction or cosmetic S**t, you know that their proirity is not the game but YOUR MONEY.
I'm level 80, I played quite a lot. I play less now than 3-4 weeks since most of my friends stopped playing. They stopped playing because they are NOT Call Of Duty fans. They never play COD, so them playing XDefiant with me for a few weeks was a surprise :)
