I think people fail to realize SBMM doesn't just stack your team to keep you at its evaluated MMR it also prevents you from ranking even when you improve by stacking the opponents team when you're on a win streak
@@michaelharless3746 Right!? I was thinking the same thing. Almost quit watching because I was like, nah this guy's gonna defend modern CoD. And then he fucking fired everything at us 😂 I love this dude, great video!
Love the video, I am also older, like way older as in 63 years old. I am not nearly as successful as you, time does eventually slow one down. But I am really enjoying XDefiant. The lack of SBMM means I can work to improve again instead of playing the same individuals on the same maps over and over again.
62 myself and I'm hovering around the basement lmao but one thing I have always excelled at is close quarter fights and I love the game for that. The old reflexes aren't what they used to be but I am still enjoying a break from Apex. The eyes can see people in X, not so much in Apex although I have been on there since day 1 and know the maps inside and out.
No bullshit one of the funniest moments I’ve seen on RUclips. You had me hooked, line, and sinker and made me cry laughing at 0:45 10/10 masterpiece RUclips video
@@ZybakTVhow’s the shit talking / roasting in this game Also how is melee I love running around knifing cus is harder to get in close than shoot peaple from far away Hopefully it’s two shot for longer melee and one shot for tiny knifes with no range
Fantastic video, but a smile on my face. I’m in a similar boat. Haven’t been able to play Call of Duty since Black Ops 2. I’m so happy XDefiant did away with the safe spaces and cry closets. I’m high on nostalgia with this game.
So, I was using the SCAR 20 earlier (forgot the name of the DMR), and I realized the red dot is not centered, yet the gun shoots centered. It's actually offset to the left a tiny bit, and it sways in that general area. I only noticed this because I was using the gun at range and felt like some shots weren't hitting, so I turned on my monitor's dot crosshair. I did some testing in match and in the practice range, and it most definitely causes some issues. The gun always shoots where my crosshair is, but not the red dot. I think this might contribute a bit to the hitreg problem people perceive exists. It's really noticeable at range, but sometimes doesn't matter as much up close.
🤣 you had me Rollin man. I’m an older gamer myself (53) and I suck at XDefiant (I’m lucky if I go positive). But I’m still having fun with it! And yes I’m still glad there isn’t SBMM because as you said… I’m learning from these kids that are movement gods.🤣Keep the content coming man!
I love having to ACTUALLY get good in FPS games. With SBMM, getting good doesn't feel like a reward at all. It's like ranked without the ranks and all the rewards, instead you win a few games and get put up against an esports 6-man team on their off-day. It's like he said though, you feel like you can learn things from losing. I remember watching killcams to figure out what went wrong and using copycat to see what guns people were using.
I think where you're confusing the hit detection with is the hit registration. The hit detection actually works. It's the hit registration that's pretty screwed up right now. And with Snipers not having any reasonable flinch, it breaks the balancing of the game in half. Too many times I'll unload a whole mag into a person and they still somehow manage to one shot me. It's beyond toxic.
The being shot behind walls reminds me of peer to peer servers on mw2, it's really really bad. That and the spam jumping mid combat is so goofy, they need to add an accuracy penalty to that. With keyboard and mouse I feel like these issues are far worse as well. Agree on the minimap, I think it should just show the entire map so you can see an overview of where the action is. Other than that, I'm thinking as the maps are so small, the snipers should have the option for smaller scopes or even iron sights as a default option. Oh yeah and the hipfire is absolutely awful.
They added all the anti-mnk bs that CoD has for some reason, even though it makes no sense being in a fps period like the cross hair not staying centered.
6:40. Respectfully, there absolutely are issues with hit registration. If you notice getting killed around or through walls, it's server desync which also contributes toward missing hit reg. They go hand in hand. It's literally an issue with the server not displaying the same things on two different end users end devices. Digressing, yes, this game a FCKING blast! I'm a little above average at CoD and have been playing it since CoD3, so to feel the strict SBMM being lifted and being put in a traditional arcade shooter again is such a breath of fresh air. I stopped being able to play CoD with my IRL friends back in BO2 when SBMM started to get tightened up from Acti. My friends aren't as good as me and it makes the experience miserable for them to play with me. I don't think XDEF is perfect by any means, I think there needs to be more goals to work towards - going on a big kill streak seems pointless since I'm not actually earing anything and the challenges don't feel fulfilling to complete since all I'm getting is character skins that I don't particularly care for. As far as the map pool goes, I enjoy it, but I definitely prefer the old school 3 lane system from CoD. Overall, I'd give XDEF a 7-7.5/10. Which is about where I'd put any recent CoD. I don't think there's a clear-cut winner between the matchup of CoD vs XDEF because while they both compete in the same market, they feel entirely different and unique. There are some things that CoD still does better and some things the XDEF does better.
i agree with everything you said except hit detection, almost every game multiple times it will make the hit marker sound show the hit marker, yet it says they are still max hp, and my ping is 20 consistently
My dad is in his 50s and not to flame him or put him down but I surpassed his skills by the age of 13, I'm 23 and about to be 24. Granted he mostly plays racing games and he mostly beats me there so I think skill level really depends on what you play the most more than anything else.
Love this video man! I'm 32 and my best game so far has been 53-15 but I've also had games where I get railed by a team of demons lol this game has really taken me back to the good old days of fun arena fps
Currently in your shoes, full time employed with 2 kids. Been playing CoD since original Modern Warfare stopped around BO3. Still love my shooters but sadly all of my reflexes are gone. I used to play on highest sensitivty on all the CoDs and now I cant keep up haha. I still got the old instincts but I feel the vibe of this video haha!
Man, I’m in the similar age group and also a COD player for years now and I totally get what you meant.😂 cheers man.Xdefient might not be as polished but it is refreshing and even with limited hours I can feel the refreshing matchmaking style compare to synthetic COD style
I’m a 50 year old gamer dad…I play with other 50 year old gamer dads, we all have been playing games for over 30 years, we are NOT pro SBMM , in fact we hate what online gaming has become, you can thank monetisation/loot boxes/skins/cash shops /ranking and loser TTV streamers and let’s not forget ESPORTS for fn ruining the entire gaming scene because now every twat wants to be and plays like they are playing for the world gaming championship every game !!
Welp, past 50 here(on PS5) and I can completely hold my own still...surprisingly lol. So nice to not have the rampant cheaters or EOMM as in MW3. I finished the camo grind there but the joy left the building awhile ago...or until; those issues are addressed. XDEFIANT is a blast. Glad you are enjoying as well.Thanks for the content.
I honestly agree about the minimap being way too zoomed in. I don't really agree with jump strafing being nerfed. I understand some people don't like it, but it is great movement tech when used properly, especially using it when sniping between shots. This is also used in conjunction with slide canceling to remove the god awful sprint to fire time. This game plays honestly quite a bit faster than cod as far as movement goes and idk I guess I don't want that slowed down. Like you said controller doesn't have many issues with it, and I play kbm, and I don't have an issue with it, people just need to practice and get better with their aim tbh.
As a mouse and keyboard player bhopping is fun since it makes shooting more challenging and gives you more skill expression with your movement hopefully the nerfs arent too big 👀
I dont know if it is coming with season 1 but they are going to add in an old school prestige system. Pretty sure for that to work they will have level caps.
One thing I would like to see is a more comprehensive display of our career stats. Our total amount of kills and deaths…wins and losses, our accuracy, etc…
My Friends group has major issues with the net-code for some reason. The one with the best internet out of all of us has weird spawns and hit registration. He was constantly spawning with the enemies in the normal modes that don’t have set spawns. And it’d take him entire mags worth of hit-markers to kill one person while it’d look like they spun around and dropped him in one shot with a weapon that has the weakest damage
I feel the assassin's creed class ulti is gonna be a hidden blade insta kill or it's going to be a doppelganger ability kinda of like the crowd blend in but who knows
I feel you. I'm also a 47 your old Dad, and I'm loving XDefiant it reminds me of the older COD's where you could kick a** and take names 😂 I've been slaying these kids, there is no where to hide. Just subscribed 👍🏾
Appreciate the honesty. The truth is, games need casual gamers as they make up a large part of the player base. Hopefully Xdef doesn't stay so sweaty that it pushes away all the casuals and the player base suffers.
The reason people have such an issue with sbmm is because it doesn’t really give you an incentive of getting better most of the time people stay average playing people your skill level. But when you take out the sbmm it gives people a chance to play better people and think of new ways to play and actually get better to try and get closer to the higher scorers than not
@@trinityastial5161 I know. But looking at it from a publisher's point of view, if players get stomped or aren't having fun, they're less likely to stay on the game, which means less money spent on the game. Imo, modern day SBMM is really about money and player retention above all else.
@@Ron742_ the finals and Apex are games that became too sweaty that pushes away casual gamers. At least everyone I talk to about them says they don't play because of that.
As someone who is about 20 and never really got into Online FPS’s I can say it’s actually fun to get humbled sometimes because it makes for a great learning curve instead of playing your skill level constantly and never getting any better. My average K/D is around 1 so I am by no means good, or even okay, but I can actually feel that improving in this game rather than staying the same. I have gotten way more addicted to getting dunked on in this game and learning something from it than I ever did to playing COD.
Bro this video is hilarious. 😂 Had me in the first half. Perfect execution of that joke! Also, im pretty sure i read something that said ubisoft expected to hit 5mil downloads in the first month and has nearl or already passed 10mil in its first week. Cosmetics were probably an afterthought and will get better over time as they get community feedback.
I literally said the same exact thing about the mini-map, there’s so many audio visual cues that I never even thought of looking at it. Then when I did it, it did more bad than good.
My current skill level in this game is quite low, which is a source of disappointment for me. However, I am finding some solace in the fact that this provides me with a clear benchmark against which I can measure my progress. Should my abilities improve in the future, I will be able to appreciate the extent of my growth.
This is absolutely the correct attitude. As weird as it sounds you’re kind of in the best phase of your arcade shooter journey. Most of the old school CoD players had the most fun during that period of going from being a bad player to a good one.
WOW this the most beautiful description of what's going on right now. Just a proper OG gamer that knows what he's talking about . Spot on with everything well done mate
I feel like im back in the cod 4 days man. Im 25 so this video isn’t really for me, but I grew up playing all the old cods with my dad. I was playing medal of honor on his lap starting out. I feel like a veil has been lifted off my head and I can see again. Lol it feels good to play something that feels new, but similar to me.
Im getting shot around corners and sometimes im getting the hitmarker sound but doing no damage. Its most noticeable for me when getting shot around corners lol
😂I feel the same,I love stomping teens in fps shooters,half the time they don't even know what hit them,I also love having a multi-player shooter that can actually compete with cod
I randomly came across this video and could never feel so connected to someone, I'm also a father of 2, full time job and when I jump on, these little shit heads don't stand a chance! lol! thanks for making my lunch break that much better! 😂
One of the few times I am not at all mad at a click bait title. Lol fantastic work. and, even as a mediocre at best older gamer, the fact of not feeling manipulated by that god-awful engagement optimize matchmaking algorithm is insanely refreshing. I’m actually happy to just settle into mediocrity as far as my performance goes and level up guns.
Hit detection is definitely an issue. You can look up plenty of videos showing it. I’d have recorded some myself is GeForce didn’t crash my game all the time lol.
Bro I love this, I actually believed the title and was curious on what was about to be said, I'm glad everyone has the same mindset that sbmm shouldn't be in a casual gamemode arcade shooter. If call of duty removes sbmm completely then people will actually start buying and keep playing, it's just crazy that Activision doesn't know that, and now xdefiant is out, it will incentivise them to do so
Im also balding and middle aged (46) but luckily i stuck to Quake and Unreal Tournament from my older days and still play them and i can actually hang with all these young boys on Xdefiant. Ive got a 78% win rate and the game is super fun!
Hi bro can you tell me your sense? I like the way you play bc i play high sensitivity like 100 85 but sometimes i lack precicion, and yours seem perfect to me not slow and not high so yeah
"I come home from my colonoscopy, buy you cheking your asshole" You've got 2 things bud... me rolling on the floor dying of laughter, and a new subscriber! In all fairness, I don't think I've ever been great at shooter games... my reaction time is garbage, and I've always relied on reading people, reading the situation, reading the map, and making predictions to survive and get kills. I've played since Modern Warfare 3 (not MW 2023)... Xdefiant has been a rough start for me, but it's possible that it will be the first game where I maintain a solid, positive KD... and as of right now, I'm also in the middle of a pretty good win streak.

So, I was using the SCAR 20 earlier (forgot the name of the DMR), and I realized the red dot is not centered, yet the gun shoots centered.

Should my abilities improve in the future, I will be able to appreciate the extent of my growth.
This is absolutely the correct attitude. As weird as it sounds you’re kind of in the best phase of your arcade shooter journey. Most of the old school CoD players had the most fun during that period of going from being a bad player to a good one.
Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
Lord and Savior Zybak has convinced me to try this!
WOW this the most beautiful description of what's going on right now. Just a proper OG gamer that knows what he's talking about . Spot on with everything well done mate
This is the best vid I’ve seen this year. 10/10
You are the man for that intro. 😂🙏🏻 got me fucking hyped up
That was funny as shit. Oh man. 😂 The black step son caught me off guard I should have known there
Totally Agee I’m 44 and owning everyone
I feel like im back in the cod 4 days man. Im 25 so this video isn’t really for me, but I grew up playing all the old cods with my dad. I was playing medal of honor on his lap starting out. I feel like a veil has been lifted off my head and I can see again. Lol it feels good to play something that feels new, but similar to me.
Goat tier intro 😂 Subbed!
Im getting shot around corners and sometimes im getting the hitmarker sound but doing no damage. Its most noticeable for me when getting shot around corners lol
hilarious hook and intro. subbed.
😂I feel the same,I love stomping teens in fps shooters,half the time they don't even know what hit them,I also love having a multi-player shooter that can actually compete with cod
I randomly came across this video and could never feel so connected to someone, I'm also a father of 2, full time job and when I jump on, these little shit heads don't stand a chance! lol! thanks for making my lunch break that much better! 😂
I can feel this game giving me nostalgia. I know in a few years from now ill look back and be glad I got to play it at its launch
One of the few times I am not at all mad at a click bait title. Lol fantastic work. and, even as a mediocre at best older gamer, the fact of not feeling manipulated by that god-awful engagement optimize matchmaking algorithm is insanely refreshing. I’m actually happy to just settle into mediocrity as far as my performance goes and level up guns.
I liked this game so much after I learned the maps.
Yeah thats huge when that happens.
first video i’ve ever watched from you. this was so funny 😂
"No hit detection problems" then immediately follows up with "yeah you die around corners". LMAO
That's not a hit detection issue, it's a server/lag issue. Mainly server tick rate. CoD has had that problem too.
Hit detection is definitely an issue. You can look up plenty of videos showing it. I’d have recorded some myself is GeForce didn’t crash my game all the time lol.
This video is awesome! I really like your review and it's really informative. Keep up the good videos!
One of the few times i am not at all mad at a click bait title. Lol fantastic work.
Bro I love this, I actually believed the title and was curious on what was about to be said, I'm glad everyone has the same mindset that sbmm shouldn't be in a casual gamemode arcade shooter. If call of duty removes sbmm completely then people will actually start buying and keep playing, it's just crazy that Activision doesn't know that, and now xdefiant is out, it will incentivise them to do so
Absolutely legendary intro. Subbed.
This video is fucking golden 😭
Im also balding and middle aged (46) but luckily i stuck to Quake and Unreal Tournament from my older days and still play them and i can actually hang with all these young boys on Xdefiant. Ive got a 78% win rate and the game is super fun!
When he started going in on the kids I couldn’t stop laughing. Bro got me weak. Good vid man. Keep it up, let these kids know they ain’t shiii lol
Hi bro can you tell me your sense? I like the way you play bc i play high sensitivity like 100 85 but sometimes i lack precicion, and yours seem perfect to me not slow and not high so yeah
Bro I’m glad I’m not the only one who knows they are for sure gonna make a assassins creed faction with the ability you pointed out
BRO HOLY SHIT WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!
Genuinely amazed I haven't come across your stuff. You had me dying with your jokes dude
Latency is real, but its insane in xdefiant. If I am killed more than a second after being in cover, maybe its a problem
"I come home from my colonoscopy, buy you cheking your asshole"
You've got 2 things bud... me rolling on the floor dying of laughter, and a new subscriber!
In all fairness, I don't think I've ever been great at shooter games... my reaction time is garbage, and I've always relied on reading people, reading the situation, reading the map, and making predictions to survive and get kills. I've played since Modern Warfare 3 (not MW 2023)... Xdefiant has been a rough start for me, but it's possible that it will be the first game where I maintain a solid, positive KD... and as of right now, I'm also in the middle of a pretty good win streak.
You had me on the 1st half I'm not gonna lie 🤣💀 dude I've been dropping 40 and 50 max has been 70 but I've also gotten smoked lol 👌🏼🔥
I’ve been loving xdefiant, just praying they fix the netcode and make jumping around a little more punishing.
@1:42 it looked suspicious but for a second there was an enemy running in from left before he shot at the wall
