I think the thing that people in the sbmm discussion miss is that the vast majority of people don't care about getting better. Gaming is similar to any other hobby. You get people that are hard into it and try to reach as hard as possible. Then you get the rest who think its fun and just do it for that from time to time. Maybe they even do it a lot but there is no interest in being better than they already are. It's not something most care about that much. Is it cool to be good? No doubt. Are they interested in doing the work for it? Nope. That's fine though. All the sbmm dooming comes from people who say they are casual or average then proceed to mention their 2.5+ K/D. No you aren't average, You are the sweat ruining the other guys' lobbies and that is separate from how much effort you believe you are putting in. In their eyes you are sweating and they can't have a casual experience. Now, I think COD's sbmm is far too strict but I'm not against sbmm as a whole. I don't want potatoes on my team so why would it be alright for the enemy team to be potatoes? Getting to the top and dominating a lobby only really feels good when I know I'm up against real competition and I've exceeded myself to do it. In Marvel Rivals when I get a game that's a stomp it feels hollow. There weren't hype plays or tense moments. Maybe a chuckle that something stupid worked but that's all. On the other side I'm just kinda walking into the wood chipper waiting for the game to be over. I prefer down to the wire every match. If I don't want to try hard then I simply don't.
It’s crazy how certain maps I get perfect 145 fps but then on other maps I can’t get past 100, and of course the maps with good fps are the ones I don’t play, like heirloom for example.
It's true. I still play xdefiant on controller. People are still paying. When it's gone, or the lobbies stop filling up, I don't know what to play.

It sucks though, I really love Xdefiants maps, spans, movement, game modes, gun play, and matchmaking.
The one thing that has put me off the sbmm era of games is that you don’t get that feeling of progression that you do in normal games. If you get better at a game you want to see & feel it.

@kplayzxp2376 no sbmm was a factor amongst many problems and issues on why it did not attract nor retain a healthy playerbase. You kids are so selfish and fail to realize your selfish intentions did not help this game one bit. 6 months. I've taken shits longer than that. I could see if the game lasted 2 years..but 6 months.. that's pathetic. No matter how many shill videos Jbowendaman or Nero posted..no matter how many cod rage bait videos they posted... the game lost players in epic fashion. Everyone laughs at concord..a 40 dollar game which started off with a low playerbase..xdefiant started with millions and dwindled down to 5k concurrent players on all platforms. Embarrassing
It's a shame people are going to rewrite history and blame this game's death on no SBMM. I think the ability nerfs early on pushed away a lot of the casual players. The art style and lack of big-name characters like Aiden Pierce, Dani (Far Cry 6), or Sam Fisher didn't give the game a hook factor as a crossover experience. Along with poor/lack of progression systems to add to the talks of a Tencent acquisition. No SBMM got millions of players to give a new IP a shot amidst the biggest hate wave Ubisoft has ever been in. Now No SBMM will die as the sole scapegoat because the people dancing on xDefiant's grave didn't play it enough to leverage valid criticisms. Wasted potential is always such a shame to see.
Nobody asked for COD mobile with abilities,ik the main three reasons for most ppl are,game was ass anyway,it was a hero shooter with abilities and most obvious reasons,the devs couldn't fix the games hit reg🤷🏾♂️
@@admiralalyssa agreed, it does send out a wrong message & I feel the game will be seen as a failure due to the lack of sbmm rather than the game being cut short by Ubisoft as a result of their recent self destructive behaviour
Hopefully battlefield drops 2025, think it’s really gonna pop off as they’re literally taking it so serious and listening to the community so much with this one.
Fortnite's Ballistic mode currently has no SBMM in the unranked mode since it's using creative mode as a base currently and creative doesn't use SBMM. I'm sure they'll add SBMM down the line since they did it to the OG mode but as of now been having a blast with it
These companies don’t put SBMM in games for the fun of it, it takes a lot of work, No SBMM means casual players get stomped and leave then fairly decent players become the worst players and get stomped and leave, this repeats until all you are left with sweats complaining they only get to play with other sweats and game is dead. Xdefiant paid the price for this as will others without SBMM.
I’ve been playing daily, I’m still currently finding lobbies quickly, no problem at all. I play on PC with controller, also have the input based matchmaking enabled
@ well shoot brotha, plug in the sticks!! My primary region is NA West but I don’t know how much that really has an impact, it will thrown me into Central or East servers here & there. I just have fun running around like a menace quick scoping with snipers
i think the reason for players not talking about delta force matchmaking during the alpha and beta play tests was because half the lobby was AI bots. so people werent getting the full sbmm experience.
Everyone who downloaded XDEFIANT should start playing it again. And force Ubisoft to bring it back. The state of FPS is beyond shambles. This will force better games to made, with no SBMM.
Bro ... they said 15 million players tried the game, 6 months later its at 20k, apparently the percentage of players who gaf about sbmm is tiny, if the game isn't good and/or fun, people won't play it even if its free.
Players left because there was nothing to do other than a poorly implemented camo grind and the pc crowd hated that it was not on steam. I grinded it out here and there until the sunset post but was really waiting for season 3 to get fully back into it.
Do you guys remember why Guitar Hero Died? One big word ACTIVISION they milk a game until it's dead and so far they have been getting the last drops on CoD because people still buy their crap.
Gaming era is done. All the good gamers out grown video games. Who stuck with XDefiant are us gamer vets. This new gen only wants their dopamine fixed and fast. Not work for it or earn it. Plus add the greedy corp. At least I enjoyed it while it lasted.
@ ok whatever you say there buddy. Feelings got hurt there? It is ok there are people who thinks different of you. You know what that is called opinions. Have you heard of it? Or yo soft to listen to opinions? Like I said go get manipulated and have fun and think you’re rambo. It’s ok. Oooo FYI….. No one cares about your feelings!
being 40 has nothing to do with it ,xdefiants good ,it jst wasnt your tea oldie ,cod came out in early 2k and battlefield also came out in early 2k,probably a couple more fps before that but ur jst bitter 😂😂😂😂
@@RobAddison86 I gotta agree with you xdefiant had a promising future at the start but playing felt kinda annoying at times. the ability system wasn't tuned and sometimes op, hit registration problems, leveling up a gun was slow at times, and other issues that came along. On the micro transactions side of it, the prices were way too high but if you didn't care about that and got the battle pass the dam thing took forever to level it which was a waste of money. At the end of the day if they had delayed the release of the game then maybe they had a chance but that is a hopeful and ridiculous thought because when you hear about the development of it and the articles about what was going on behind the scenes at the start and middle of development it was kinda doomed already.
Said once I'll say it again,FPS online shooters sucked for years. It's not the early 2000s or 2010s or even mid 2010s. It's time to move on from these type of games and realize that things most likely will never change, Xdefiant was not gonna anything either.
@@KianFloppa I think at this point Ubisoft is seriously cooked as a company. But I still think it’s cool to sign it to show your support especially if you are a hardcore player who has been around for awhile.
I still play Dirty Bomb til this day. Its dead and only is playable because of community servers, but its a game that never held my hand or took it easy on me and I loved it for that. Getting my ass kicked taught me so much and it was so satisfying to start to have success. These lazy gen z fucks ruined it for everyone lol
I can't understand why Ubisoft did this. It makes no sense to me. Great game, a fair amount of interest, season 3 right around the corner (with a big marketing push and Assassin's Creed included). The fact that they didn't even wait, stopped new players downloading the game, but still left it up and running til June, nonsensical.
@80cantgetright I get that. But why prevent downloads and leave the servers up until June? They could have waited to see how season 3 performed. They could have made the decision to pull the plug in June but still allow downloads. Then if there was an increase in players there's a greater potential for revenue and they could let the game continue. It just seems dumb.
I understand where team jade (devs) are coming from and why their matches are working like this when they addressed it as MMR (match making rating) not SBMM even though MMR is another term of SBMM it's not the same SBMM Because unlike SBMM MMR determines the player's skill level on a hidden number take example league of legends they do the same thing I suspect they wanted to do this as a way to educate new players without frustrating them until they got used to the game (just like studying in university before getting a job) as for the unranked and ranked thing the reason why they isn't any difference is because of either 1 of 2 things 1: they're on the same servers as each other which explains why they isn't any difference in variety Or 2: they isn't a ranked mode at all but rather what's called points mode a system for achievements not competitive ranking but one thing is for sure delta force has potential so if you have any issues feel free to find their RUclips channels and leave them a comment because they're always welcome to comment back
I loved that it had no SBMM but launching a competitive shooter without any ranked mode is really stupid, which is really the culprit here the game "died" because of it. I understand that you first might want to balance the game before ranked comes out but that's what should be done in a open beta it should have lasted a month, not 2 days here and there. Yes it's a long beta but people could understand how the maps flowed, how the guns felt, if the hit-reg was accurate and provide the necessary feedback to improve the game for launch day. I enjoyed the game a lot at launch but after reaching max rank and leveling up the guns I liked to use their wasn't anything else to grind for.
I will miss XDefiant when its gone sbmm removed a lot of games today sadly have sbmm but you can never beat the felling of getting better at anything not just games
Well the game must first be fun to play! And the game was just another bunny hopping, bootie slide simulator with guns. And not anymore fun to play than any other fps game. All of which do the exact same things. Why would anyone want to get better at a game that isn’t fun? This is the issue!
Its even annoying as hell with Fortnite, I’ve been trying to play og mode again but its like my whole lobby is bots. Who wants this??? It’s destroying the entire premise of getting better and the reward of getting better. It’s just stupid as hell. Will miss x
There is not a single game in existence that NEEDS sbmm. There isnt a single that SHOULD even have sbmm. Sbmm is a plague on gaming. Ive swapped over to Dragon Ball Sparking Zero which is a game that doesnt use sbmm and i be staying over here. I stopped playing games that use sbmm long ago and that isnt changing. What happened to XD is a travesty. The devs did an amazing job and this whole thing sends such a terrible message to the gaming industry. It says "Use sbmm. Dont listen to your community. Money over everything."
@Lowsky__ I just checked Google and Google says it does but that doesn't make much sense to me. It definitely doesn't have it for player matches because players of all ranks can match in the player matches. They may use SOME of it in Ranked matches but Ranked is all I play and if I go an play DP battles which I hardly ever play I'll destroy everyone I match because my rank in that mode is much lower than it should be. In Ranked Singles which I play all the time my matches are typically competitive but even then I still face people that are better than me or worse than me by large margins. It probably depends on how you set up your settings for MM a bit but I dont see the sbmm there either but you can absolutely have more than a 50% win rate, many players have. 85%+ win rates. It just feels like your matching people based on rank. Id like to know what sort of implementation they've supposedly used because I can't feel it and I can absolutely feel the sbmm when I play games like Destiny 2, Overwatch, The Finals, etc.. which I dont play anymore because sbmm is cancer.
new players will get turned off playing against the sweats you just want to play against easy players. If you tried to play madden online for first time and there was no skill based match making you would quit after about 3 blow out losses. Same for non skill based matchmaking.
Thats so weird. Jak is streaming right now and lobbies are instant. Mine also instant. All the other YT people I follow also get lobbies right away. This is so confusing. Are you only trying to play against onlt M&K players?
@JbowenDaMan I'm kind of on your side. Now that I think of it, even though I have input open I NEVER EVER see the mouse symbol in lobbies. I just assumed all PC players preferred controller.

@@beach9952 I was thinking the same thing, company is already performing so bad, offer them a fat check and they will do whatever they say 😂😂 but honestly I believe Ubisoft is just doing that bad.
If it is making players play more and enjoy more the game what is the problem? Y'all are so selfish because it affects you guys the most, the sweats. I'm a sweat too but I have perspective also and I'm not that selfish to want a game to cater to us the minority of the entire playerbase just so we can get more consistent gameplay clips, you guys act like we can't get better at the game anyways and stomp people with or without sbmm. I hate that entitled attitude of sweats, you guys are not the majority,stop acting like the internet is reality or dictates anything because clearly it does nothing, majority of cod players still very much enjoy the game
Delta force in my playtime. Recon do be reconing it’s just people don’t know engies and recons can work together to fuck over vehicle players Support players are needed more because you die so fast in the game out of no where Assault is good Vehicles need a nerf And shotguns need a slight buff
Stop comparing everything to CoD and Battlefield. That's how XDefiant died. Just stop this insufferable need to drag other IP's down into the shitpit because you whine about SBMM.
Acti is funny. OW SBMM is looser than MW3 during life cycle. I had 0.9 KD and high 60s WL percent in the MW3 Compare that to OW where I had 1.6 KD but only 49% WL I loved the tense, nailbiting down to the wire Hardpoint and HQ matches in the MW3 Yet in the OW where that is what the players want, it's stomp or get stomped And those tense MW3 games that ended in a draw or at most 5 pt matches? Lmao lobby disbands and searches again Acti you wanted SBMM? Then why you disband the lobby that was as balanced as possible? Not to mention ending that in a draw kinda hurt. We wanted to have a victor dammit 😠 Acti doesn't want to remove SBMM? Fine. But at thevery least change OW's and CoD's MMs lmao
Well its sad because this game had great potential but it had no content the shop was horrible and as a free to play game u need a good shop for it to make money as this game was called the cod killer i already knew that this game was cooked people should know that keep comparing new games to cod will kill that game
Bs excuses again and again What happens once the player isnt new anymore? Get put in regular matchmaking and get a bad taste of the game anyway? Whats the point? Give the players a real taste of what the game feels like without sbmm from the get-go and they will stay around. A kd based team balancer is enough to make things fair for everyone.

@@lulu-j6e I have a video about this related to XDefiant dropping soonish
Concord was $40 😂😂
Helldivers 2 has entered the chat.
COD has already snagged that middle ground,pay attention
Battlebit Remastered was there. But so far they are so busy updating the game, and it's $15 to massive acclaim.
It's a shame people are going to rewrite history and blame this game's death on no SBMM. I think the ability nerfs early on pushed away a lot of the casual players. The art style and lack of big-name characters like Aiden Pierce, Dani (Far Cry 6), or Sam Fisher didn't give the game a hook factor as a crossover experience. Along with poor/lack of progression systems to add to the talks of a Tencent acquisition.
No SBMM got millions of players to give a new IP a shot amidst the biggest hate wave Ubisoft has ever been in. Now No SBMM will die as the sole scapegoat because the people dancing on xDefiant's grave didn't play it enough to leverage valid criticisms. Wasted potential is always such a shame to see.
Nobody asked for COD mobile with abilities,ik the main three reasons for most ppl are,game was ass anyway,it was a hero shooter with abilities and most obvious reasons,the devs couldn't fix the games hit reg🤷🏾♂️

@@admiralalyssa agreed, it does send out a wrong message & I feel the game will be seen as a failure due to the lack of sbmm rather than the game being cut short by Ubisoft as a result of their recent self destructive behaviour
Hopefully battlefield drops 2025, think it’s really gonna pop off as they’re literally taking it so serious and listening to the community so much with this one.
Fortnite's Ballistic mode currently has no SBMM in the unranked mode since it's using creative mode as a base currently and creative doesn't use SBMM.
I'm sure they'll add SBMM down the line since they did it to the OG mode but as of now been having a blast with it
I miss the game already 😭😭
@@TheMrLongmann you and me both bro. I can’t find a single match unless I connect a controller 😪
I still grinded the game but now anything is unlocked...
lol yeah I was about 80% of the way done now nothing matters rip
These companies don’t put SBMM in games for the fun of it, it takes a lot of work, No SBMM means casual players get stomped and leave then fairly decent players become the worst players and get stomped and leave, this repeats until all you are left with sweats complaining they only get to play with other sweats and game is dead. Xdefiant paid the price for this as will others without SBMM.
I’ve been playing daily, I’m still currently finding lobbies quickly, no problem at all. I play on PC with controller, also have the input based matchmaking enabled
@@relentless_fps that’s the trick, you are playing with a controller. Sadly for some reason matchmaking is bugged for M&K players 😔
@ well shoot brotha, plug in the sticks!! My primary region is NA West but I don’t know how much that really has an impact, it will thrown me into Central or East servers here & there. I just have fun running around like a menace quick scoping with snipers
“Grandpa tell me about the time when fps games had random matchmaking”
i think the reason for players not talking about delta force matchmaking during the alpha and beta play tests was because half the lobby was AI bots. so people werent getting the full sbmm experience.
Everyone who downloaded XDEFIANT should start playing it again. And force Ubisoft to bring it back. The state of FPS is beyond shambles. This will force better games to made, with no SBMM.
Bro ... they said 15 million players tried the game, 6 months later its at 20k, apparently the percentage of players who gaf about sbmm is tiny, if the game isn't good and/or fun, people won't play it even if its free.
Players left because there was nothing to do other than a poorly implemented camo grind and the pc crowd hated that it was not on steam. I grinded it out here and there until the sunset post but was really waiting for season 3 to get fully back into it.
Do you guys remember why Guitar Hero Died? One big word ACTIVISION they milk a game until it's dead and so far they have been getting the last drops on CoD because people still buy their crap.
Gaming era is done. All the good gamers out grown video games. Who stuck with XDefiant are us gamer vets. This new gen only wants their dopamine fixed and fast. Not work for it or earn it. Plus add the greedy corp. At least I enjoyed it while it lasted.
Stop gaslighting kid. As a 40yo old that played since battlefield 1942, Xdefiant is trash.
@ ok whatever you say there buddy. Feelings got hurt there? It is ok there are people who thinks different of you. You know what that is called opinions. Have you heard of it? Or yo soft to listen to opinions? Like I said go get manipulated and have fun and think you’re rambo. It’s ok. Oooo
FYI….. No one cares about your feelings!
being 40 has nothing to do with it ,xdefiants good ,it jst wasnt your tea oldie ,cod came out in early 2k and battlefield also came out in early 2k,probably a couple more fps before that but ur jst bitter 😂😂😂😂
@@RobAddison86 I gotta agree with you xdefiant had a promising future at the start but playing felt kinda annoying at times. the ability system wasn't tuned and sometimes op, hit registration problems, leveling up a gun was slow at times, and other issues that came along. On the micro transactions side of it, the prices were way too high but if you didn't care about that and got the battle pass the dam thing took forever to level it which was a waste of money. At the end of the day if they had delayed the release of the game then maybe they had a chance but that is a hopeful and ridiculous thought because when you hear about the development of it and the articles about what was going on behind the scenes at the start and middle of development it was kinda doomed already.
Said once I'll say it again,FPS online shooters sucked for years. It's not the early 2000s or 2010s or even mid 2010s. It's time to move on from these type of games and realize that things most likely will never change, Xdefiant was not gonna anything either.
No skill base MM was the one thing they actually did right.
is the save the game petition not gonna work
@@KianFloppa I think at this point Ubisoft is seriously cooked as a company. But I still think it’s cool to sign it to show your support especially if you are a hardcore player who has been around for awhile.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I still play Dirty Bomb til this day. Its dead and only is playable because of community servers, but its a game that never held my hand or took it easy on me and I loved it for that. Getting my ass kicked taught me so much and it was so satisfying to start to have success. These lazy gen z fucks ruined it for everyone lol
ye, i think ima skip out on Delta Force. dont wanna deal with no type of SBMM..
@@yinglongsupreme keeping my fingers crossed they change their minds in the future bro 😪
Guess u wont be playing shooters bcuz they all have SBMM. Hell even Fortnite has it. Only one to my knowledge without it is CSGO.
I can't understand why Ubisoft did this. It makes no sense to me.
Great game, a fair amount of interest, season 3 right around the corner (with a big marketing push and Assassin's Creed included). The fact that they didn't even wait, stopped new players downloading the game, but still left it up and running til June, nonsensical.
They did it because it wasn’t making money!
@80cantgetright I get that. But why prevent downloads and leave the servers up until June? They could have waited to see how season 3 performed. They could have made the decision to pull the plug in June but still allow downloads. Then if there was an increase in players there's a greater potential for revenue and they could let the game continue. It just seems dumb.
I understand where team jade (devs) are coming from and why their matches are working like this when they addressed it as MMR (match making rating)
not SBMM
even though MMR is another term of SBMM it's not the same SBMM
Because unlike SBMM
MMR determines the player's skill level on a hidden number take example league of legends they do the same thing
I suspect they wanted to do this as a way to educate new players without frustrating them until they got used to the game (just like studying in university before getting a job)
as for the unranked and ranked thing the reason why they isn't any difference is because of either 1 of 2 things
1: they're on the same servers as each other which explains why they isn't any difference in variety
Or
2: they isn't a ranked mode at all but rather what's called points mode a system for achievements not competitive ranking
but one thing is for sure delta force has potential so if you have any issues feel free to find their RUclips channels and leave them a comment because they're always welcome to comment back
Maybe try covering the finals an FPS that is actually good
I loved that it had no SBMM but launching a competitive shooter without any ranked mode is really stupid, which is really the culprit here the game "died" because of it. I understand that you first might want to balance the game before ranked comes out but that's what should be done in a open beta it should have lasted a month, not 2 days here and there. Yes it's a long beta but people could understand how the maps flowed, how the guns felt, if the hit-reg was accurate and provide the necessary feedback to improve the game for launch day. I enjoyed the game a lot at launch but after reaching max rank and leveling up the guns I liked to use their wasn't anything else to grind for.
I will miss XDefiant when its gone sbmm removed a lot of games today sadly have sbmm but you can never beat the felling of getting better at anything not just games
Well the game must first be fun to play! And the game was just another bunny hopping, bootie slide simulator with guns. And not anymore fun to play than any other fps game. All of which do the exact same things. Why would anyone want to get better at a game that isn’t fun? This is the issue!
@@80cantgetright Well sadly sweats are going to sweat in every game they play pretending like there is more on the line sad reality
Its even annoying as hell with Fortnite, I’ve been trying to play og mode again but its like my whole lobby is bots. Who wants this??? It’s destroying the entire premise of getting better and the reward of getting better. It’s just stupid as hell. Will miss x
There is not a single game in existence that NEEDS sbmm. There isnt a single that SHOULD even have sbmm. Sbmm is a plague on gaming. Ive swapped over to Dragon Ball Sparking Zero which is a game that doesnt use sbmm and i be staying over here. I stopped playing games that use sbmm long ago and that isnt changing. What happened to XD is a travesty. The devs did an amazing job and this whole thing sends such a terrible message to the gaming industry. It says "Use sbmm. Dont listen to your community. Money over everything."
Aw you can’t handle a challenge? :( :( :(
How do you know that your dragon ball game doesn’t use SBMM? Because you told yourself that?
@glizzward6817 I know because I'm smarter than the average bear.
@@nicholasgrogan856 funny enough Dragon Ball Sparkin Zero does have SBMM lmao.
@Lowsky__ I just checked Google and Google says it does but that doesn't make much sense to me. It definitely doesn't have it for player matches because players of all ranks can match in the player matches. They may use SOME of it in Ranked matches but Ranked is all I play and if I go an play DP battles which I hardly ever play I'll destroy everyone I match because my rank in that mode is much lower than it should be. In Ranked Singles which I play all the time my matches are typically competitive but even then I still face people that are better than me or worse than me by large margins. It probably depends on how you set up your settings for MM a bit but I dont see the sbmm there either but you can absolutely have more than a 50% win rate, many players have. 85%+ win rates. It just feels like your matching people based on rank. Id like to know what sort of implementation they've supposedly used because I can't feel it and I can absolutely feel the sbmm when I play games like Destiny 2, Overwatch, The Finals, etc.. which I dont play anymore because sbmm is cancer.
@@nicholasgrogan856 Every games SBMM is different.
Couldnt have happened to a better company.
new players will get turned off playing against the sweats you just want to play against easy players. If you tried to play madden online for first time and there was no skill based match making you would quit after about 3 blow out losses. Same for non skill based matchmaking.
Enders is the blametruth of BF
If anyone's to blame are the idiot CEO's of these so called AAA game companies

So in other words the FPS genre is dead through soft communism.
Thats so weird. Jak is streaming right now and lobbies are instant. Mine also instant. All the other YT people I follow also get lobbies right away. This is so confusing. Are you only trying to play against onlt M&K players?
@@Meyhem33 nope, I’m assuming it’s bugged for mouse and keyboard players
@JbowenDaMan I'm kind of on your side. Now that I think of it, even though I have input open I NEVER EVER see the mouse symbol in lobbies. I just assumed all PC players preferred controller.

@@beach9952 I was thinking the same thing, company is already performing so bad, offer them a fat check and they will do whatever they say 😂😂 but honestly I believe Ubisoft is just doing that bad.
I have been having the same issue and it sucks
If it is making players play more and enjoy more the game what is the problem? Y'all are so selfish because it affects you guys the most, the sweats. I'm a sweat too but I have perspective also and I'm not that selfish to want a game to cater to us the minority of the entire playerbase just so we can get more consistent gameplay clips, you guys act like we can't get better at the game anyways and stomp people with or without sbmm. I hate that entitled attitude of sweats, you guys are not the majority,stop acting like the internet is reality or dictates anything because clearly it does nothing, majority of cod players still very much enjoy the game
Sweats killed XDefiant🤷🏾♂️
You both are spot on!
wonder why Battlefield is still alive, even tho it has no SBMM..🤷♂
if SBMM would be so crucial, Battlefield should be dead by now
I loved xdefient but tbh they went after the cod player and if there is one group of gamers that you can never please its the cod gamers
It still stings 😩
Got the game to play cross play with my cuz, Aim assist was broken good riddance

I’m fine with it. I don’t play xdifiant or cod so no harm to me.

Delta force in my playtime.

Vehicles need a nerf
And shotguns need a slight buff
well back to battlebit (I'm joking). this has a server browser and pretty sure no SBMM on quick play :D
bro is so mad its to funny also the way you talk is to funny shill XD
i will never ever consider playing a tencent game regardless of how good it is.
Bro just get into CS trust me
Stop comparing everything to CoD and Battlefield. That's how XDefiant died. Just stop this insufferable need to drag other IP's down into the shitpit because you whine about SBMM.

I had 0.9 KD and high 60s WL percent in the MW3
Compare that to OW where I had 1.6 KD but only 49% WL
I loved the tense, nailbiting down to the wire Hardpoint and HQ matches in the MW3
Yet in the OW where that is what the players want, it's stomp or get stomped
And those tense MW3 games that ended in a draw or at most 5 pt matches? Lmao lobby disbands and searches again
Acti you wanted SBMM? Then why you disband the lobby that was as balanced as possible?
Not to mention ending that in a draw kinda hurt. We wanted to have a victor dammit 😠
Acti doesn't want to remove SBMM? Fine. But at thevery least change OW's and CoD's MMs lmao
switch not change. The more fitting worf

its dying bc you guys ddnt support it enough b ut cry about cod. ggs man. maybe next year
Thank you.
Bs excuses again and again
