For the time being, servers are pretty messy. Took me a few hours to get into some matches. If you're having issues, what worked for me was queueing and then tabbing over to my loadout tab in my menu then didn't touch anything until I joined a match. Weird, but fixed the issue for me. Hope it can work for you too! Additionally, for some reason Private Zones are not enabled? Surely has to be a bug as all studio comms pointed towards this being a launch feature, so apologies for suggesting testing settings in there, I (incorrectly) assumed it would be up and running by now after the server fixes.
Yup just awful lag compensation that all shooters have to disguise lag and match people to games faster disguising the bad quality, over actually searching for games with players of better ping
I can tell who ACTUALLY played the OG CODS by the ”sprint cancels reload settings”. The sprint to reload cancel is COD 101. Really surprised you recommend it be turned off
Facts!! These settings are recommended for players that are new to shooters or are just average.I don’t even use these guides anymore.Def keep on sprint reloads.😊
I had a terrible experience in both betas so I had low expectations but damn this is actually really fun. And I see a lot of complaints but I had no issue finding games very quickly last night. Def have some work to do but for me this was a great start
Thanks for the advice! I'll be testing out your suggestions. I had a go at the game yesterday, but I haven't quite formed a solid opinion yet. One thing I did notice was that the movement, particularly using the right thumb stick, felt a bit clunky compared to the smoothness of COD MW 3 2023. Additionally, I found it challenging to keep my reticle centered, which became problematic given that I typically play hardcore mode in Call of Duty (where fewer bullets are needed to kill compared to core mode). As a result, I was constantly getting taken out because my aim wasn't quite on point. XDefiant seems to blend elements from Overwatch 2, Fortnite, and old-school COD Black Ops. I plan on tinkering with the settings and investing more time into it to see if I can find a setup that works better for me.
Enjoying it thoroughly, even though after playing the server test session I was a little down on the game. I had to work for the first part of the day when the servers weren't working, so as far as that goes I havent really had any issues. I will say that the main thing I have to grip about is on one or two of the maps its pretty easy to get spawn killed, felt like I was playing CoD but that's to be expected.
Other than the server issues (not be able to find a match), ive had a blast on this game. Some minor hit reg issues, ill die after getting around a corner from time to time. Ill have my shots no-reg every once in a while. But over all, im quite pleased. Im hoping some of these minor issues are just from the servers being overwhelmed while the community all loaded it up. Most of the maps are fun. Ive ran into some cool people on VC already. Ill be leaving COD on "OFF" for a while. Hoping i can get my friend group to give COD a break and play XDEFIANT. This game will be a ton of fun with a team using comms and using their abilities strategically.
Havnt been playing cod since season 2. Here for X, not because i think its the best thing ever by any means, but Im just ready for a new game man. Im ready for something fresh even though I dont like faction/hero shooters.
Im really enjoying this refreshing new objective based fps. Only complaint so far is sometimes i personally feel like i def ran behind the wall/cover and i still die. im not sure why it feels so prominent currently. IMO
Played a couple games. Seems way too clunky and honestly people don't know to not sweat their balls off anymore. Way too many streamers trying to be the next ninja
I thought it was just me because I'm not like a fps god or anything I mainly play wwe and cod casually so this had me thinking my fingers was in quicksand
The fact they launched a brand-new game which will bring brand new players but some restarted employee in a team made a call to disable the practice zone on launch so that we can gate keep the game for sweats!? Like dafuq!
Personally i think this game still needs a lot of work with how the gun play feels, to me currently it feels wonky, the hit reg, ttk/ttd, enemy footsteps, ect.
Is anyone else noticing some peeker's advantage in this game? i was shot around corners a couple times during my session yesterday and it's not a huge deal since it can be worked on but it was weird to see 😂
Am i the only person who uses the controller layout to swap melee and jump? when jump is on the right stick, u can jump and turn without moving your thumb across the controller.
I have been playing fps games for years, this game really makes me feel like I am actually bad at aiming and it is so frustrating when I seem to take full mags to kill people while getting melted by the enemy.
Me and my friend were playing yesterday and the first two games we got top of scoreboard then after that each game it felt like we werent doing any damage and getting absolutely destroyed.
This game is like a mix of cold war mw and bo4 the graphics are like cold war movement feels like a mix of modern warfare with cold war movement and lastly operators reminds me of the specialists of bo4
Yeah it feels very Treyarch like to me, which is a good thing. The lag compensation is really bad for me right now. Sometimes I get into matches and it feels good (5 or 6 hits, kills), other matches I have to absolutely go try hard to get a kill but for them, I blink and I get melted.
my controller feels exactly like COD 2019.. not COD MW3 now.. its awkward,, really awkward.. and i hit my COD buttons, expecting COD reactions and i do something unintended over n over.. gonna be hard to get use to this movement and aiming. not sure if settings alone will make up for how weird the movement and aiming feel..
This is the problem with modern gaming. One hour into launch and we have trash like this being posted. Everyone is so concerned with playing the meta instead of just having fun.
Yeah so you’ll have to exit out of the app, go into its settings, (this part may be different depending on what you play on) check it’s storage data, move the data into a separate hard drive, now with your newfound storage data you should have enough space to download Call of Duty. Hoped that helped 👍
I wish I could use the practice mode thing. It’s not available for me rn. I guess there must be some bugs they’re working on or something. I want to try different settings without having to deal with real players yet.
anyone else having issues on 2160 resolution, when i try to change it to to 4k game automatically pop into window mode and doesnt allow me to go in 4k resolution
The servers are still kinda fucked so it could be desync. But you can also shoot through certain wall materials, like cloth or plywood, the gun you're using might not have good enough penetration.
Cant get into practice range. Its tough to see enemies and imho hit markers n sound effects are weak .. BUT ! Im actually haveing some fun regardless …
I've never played any of the play tests for this game, and managed to only play one game yesterday. But this game feels very weird. The aim assist feels non existent, its like my aim is all over the place, and the enemies just sponge bullets, yet i die in like 2 bullets on my end. It has a very different feeling to cod, for some reason. I'm hoping its just me and my rustiness rather than game. Also only god knows why they made the sensitivity parameters so wide in range, its such a pain to find the best settings. There also needs to be a standard TDM playlist without any abilities, they get very annoying very fast.
I've played around with sensitivity settings and nothing I've tried feels right. It just feels so clunky moving around. I'm a controller player and in cod I'm at max sensitivity.
Idk if this is a pc problem or a game problem but whenever I launch the game it can’t seem to run over 10 frames even on the menus screen I’ve never had this problem it even on call of duty

Can we change servers like Europe North America Asia?? Or there will be one default regional server?? Please let me know ☺️
It's fixed now
I hovered over the battle pass 🤣🤣and it was working for me while everyone was struggling
X DEFIANT IS THE WORST 😂
i jumped in around 630pm EST.. i am near Atlanta.. i had zero wait time for games... maybe this all took place early in the day...?>?
Anybody else feel like they're dying in like 0.8 seconds but when you shoot, you have to really go hard to kill in about 10 seconds?
Yes!
Yes, my first game felt okay, all the rest have been horrible for me, dying instantly veil everyone else just tanks the bullets on pc!
Yea,just chalked it up to being on console & not being able to switch to 120,even though my TV & PS5 supports it???
Yup just awful lag compensation that all shooters have to disguise lag and match people to games faster disguising the bad quality, over actually searching for games with players of better ping

Nope. I'm on PC with 200+ fps and gigabit ethernet and I'm having the same issues. Weird "loose" feeling to the gunplay too.
Matchmaking just started working for me and it's awesomeeee.
It was worth the wait
@@caseyplayzs I agree can't stop playing
@@YourGuySmallFrynot lmfao
Been playing the past couple hours, zero issues with the servers thankfully. Great time playing so far.
I've had some mino hit registration, but other than that, it's been smooth. Sniping is smooth as well
Liar 🤥
@@jasonadersonwedion9874 speak for yourself
The flashbang setting changing to dark is ingenious. It’s the most jarring effect in video games for me so GG’s to them 👏🏼
Recommend going in the Practice Zone, well dude its closed lmao
Vid was probably made a day ago.
@@KaiserReb all his stuff is made days prior. thats why half the uploads are the exact same rewashed stuff hes already said in 4 other videos
I was worried that it was just me, and I was missing something to unlock it.
It’s open now bro
It should be good now 👍🏾
Any settings to find a match?
Close the game and reload it I’ve been playing fine since I did that
😂
All jokes aside. The game is fire. Very much enjoying it.
Lmfao just restart it think the updated the playlist it’s been running smooth ever since I slapped my pc and cracked the glass 💪
Working fine for me now, just had a match with 14ms ping and it was awesome!

lol
I’m cod og for sure and I did use sprint to cancel but I now prefer double tap triangle/Y
Being able to sprint while you’re reloading to reposition or escape is goated tf are you talking about
The real og ogs yy to reload cancel 😈
I played cod and BF for 16+ years I cannot stand the movement in this game it feels like your floating along the ground
Movement is definitely a turn off for me in this game
def no bf-like game, for what its supposed to be its nice
Can we change servers like Europe North America Asia?? Or there will be one default regional server?? Please let me know
Feels like an inferior ADHD generic arena shooter with clunky wooden movement. Not sure it brings anything new to the table
Exactly how I feel! I feel slow and clunky. Definitely not gonna replace cod for me but I did have fun. If they could make it more smooth I’d play it
I had a terrible experience in both betas so I had low expectations but damn this is actually really fun. And I see a lot of complaints but I had no issue finding games very quickly last night. Def have some work to do but for me this was a great start
It's a great game when u get in

Right, I'm glad im not the only one at least!
Appreciate you bro!!
The custom flash bang effect will be a game changer thnx dude

Him gaslighting me into thinking I was the only one without access to firing range sent me lmao
gr8 options in this game esp the Input Based Matchmaking
The Welcome Playlist is the only mode working for me, when i try dom or zone control it just instantly says 'Unable to find Match' 💀
Honestly coming over from Apex legends. Linear feels really nice in this game
i need to find a game to test all these settings first
practice zone
AWESOME content
Okay so basically its all preference 😂 haha nah you had good info thanks 👍🏻
Does the practice zone actually work for you guys? Mine is locked
Nope. I think it's locked for everyone.
@@pavmx703 unfortunate but the game is still really fun
To recap this video…. “It’s up to you.”
Other than the server issues (not be able to find a match), ive had a blast on this game.
Some minor hit reg issues, ill die after getting around a corner from time to time. Ill have my shots no-reg every once in a while. But over all, im quite pleased. Im hoping some of these minor issues are just from the servers being overwhelmed while the community all loaded it up.

This game looks really fun!!
It is but just takes a while to figure out the settings.
Turning off crossplay in the Xbox system causes so many games to freak the heck out. Great video, subscribed for the content and launch of XD!
Obviously...if you only have 10 other people to match with you'd freak out 🤷
I plan on turning off crossplay today, hopefully no issues.
"go to the practice range" bro I would If I could. Imagine telling people to use a feature that's locked out of the game
Havnt been playing cod since season 2. Here for X, not because i think its the best thing ever by any means, but Im just ready for a new game man. Im ready for something fresh even though I dont like faction/hero shooters.
Believe it or not kids, back in the day we used to play the game and figure this out for ourselves.
Im really enjoying this refreshing new objective based fps. Only complaint so far is sometimes i personally feel like i def ran behind the wall/cover and i still die. im not sure why it feels so prominent currently. IMO
watching this at work was not my birghtest idea
First few hours it was hard to find a game but now no time at all I’m straight in it’s fucking great game 💯👌
I would love to try these settings out in the practice zone. Please, tell me how.
Played a couple games. Seems way too clunky and honestly people don't know to not sweat their balls off anymore. Way too many streamers trying to be the next ninja
the new name is CLUNKDefiant
Yup,feels like I'm trying to run with iron boots on🚮
I thought it was just me because I'm not like a fps god or anything I mainly play wwe and cod casually so this had me thinking my fingers was in quicksand
Can you elaborate on "clunky" please?
You're not the first person I've seen say that, but I don't really understand what they/you mean.
@@ImEnemy608do you play video games?
Thanks brother!
The fact they launched a brand-new game which will bring brand new players but some restarted employee in a team made a call to disable the practice zone on launch so that we can gate keep the game for sweats!? Like dafuq!
So this is a “how to change your settings for dummies” video. Got it lol I need more of a “these are the best settings to use” video lol
EXcellent Thanks for great help
rtx 3070ti and i get 23 minimum fps every 10 seconds. good job :D
That's weird, I have a 3060 and I mostly play at 150 fps constantly on high graphics settings native resolution
Also check for your driver updates they released one for xdefiant performance and to fix latency issues
Personally i think this game still needs a lot of work with how the gun play feels, to me currently it feels wonky, the hit reg, ttk/ttd, enemy footsteps, ect.
Yea, definitely not a COD killer, lmao.
Is anyone else noticing some peeker's advantage in this game? i was shot around corners a couple times during my session yesterday and it's not a huge deal since it can be worked on but it was weird to see 😂
Yeah , happens with me from time to time. Guess we'll stick with CS2 meta
Super sweaty already.
Yea cuz most people are at work. People playing now are sweaty neckbeards. It’ll calm down
@Corb101 yeah. Been feeling that way. 32 year old gamer, and it’s crazy how things have changed.
fps booster is crazy work
?? whats that
How tf do you go into the practice zone?
Am i the only person who uses the controller layout to swap melee and jump? when jump is on the right stick, u can jump and turn without moving your thumb across the controller.
Nice video bro
I have been playing fps games for years, this game really makes me feel like I am actually bad at aiming and it is so frustrating when I seem to take full mags to kill people while getting melted by the enemy.
Turn triple buffering off for lower input delay
For those who can't find a match, start matching and go to the loadout and wait.
Me and my friend were playing yesterday and the first two games we got top of scoreboard then after that each game it felt like we werent doing any damage and getting absolutely destroyed.
The game actually is good but I want better progression system like prestige or something like that. Base level system is boring
Also movement disaster🤮
They said something about adding a prestige system in the near future
This game is like a mix of cold war mw and bo4 the graphics are like cold war movement feels like a mix of modern warfare with cold war movement and lastly operators reminds me of the specialists of bo4

Mann people are going to continue to make these matchmaking jokes even after the servers are working just fine aren’t they lol
This game needs hardcore mode.
have trying playing this for several hours now and cannot seem to get off the ground. the way is way to sweaty for someone like me to be playing.
At least you guys can play the game
It’s not a bad free to play game Ubisoft delivered
my controller feels exactly like COD 2019.. not COD MW3 now.. its awkward,, really awkward.. and i hit my COD buttons, expecting COD reactions and i do something unintended over n over..
gonna be hard to get use to this movement and aiming.
not sure if settings alone will make up for how weird the movement and aiming feel..
Well MW3 has the strongest controller aim assist out of probably any game right now. So it's going to feel different because you have to actually aim.
Thanks for the tips. One issue I am having is I cannot get into the practice zone. And ideas??
Nobody can
This is the problem with modern gaming. One hour into launch and we have trash like this being posted. Everyone is so concerned with playing the meta instead of just having fun.
Any setting for left thumb stick cause when I play feels like the movement is slow when moving around
was playing all perfectly and 5 to 6 games later this clock with an ! symbol appeared and now i cant get into any game
Is there a setting to have fun? Genuine question
Yeah so you’ll have to exit out of the app, go into its settings, (this part may be different depending on what you play on) check it’s storage data, move the data into a separate hard drive, now with your newfound storage data you should have enough space to download Call of Duty. Hoped that helped 👍
You keep talking about the practice course..Its greyed out for me and i can't load it
I think they fixed servers for me at least. Took me 2 hours to fine 1 game. Now it’s finding a game in about 20 seconds every time
Who's enjoying this game? Drop a like
I feel like there is slight input lag, feels very delayed when I’m looking and aiming. The game is fun but it just feels off
Is the movement supposed to be as clunky as it is? IE coming to complete stop after a slide and needing to sprint again?
yo is there any setting to change red dot color to not be the same as the enemies color?
I wish I could use the practice mode thing. It’s not available for me rn. I guess there must be some bugs they’re working on or something. I want to try different settings without having to deal with real players yet.

The servers are still kinda fucked so it could be desync. But you can also shoot through certain wall materials, like cloth or plywood, the gun you're using might not have good enough penetration.
Summary: its entirely subjective
Does anyone know if MNK support is at launch or not for console?
The minimap rotation setting is backwards then.
Are they going to get something like search and destroy mode?
Ghost recon skin and map would be awesome og Xbox players would know
I feel like the sens is so slow. I usually play pretty high sens but I have my horizontal at 100 and vert at 40 with .75 aim multiplier
can i ask why its buffering so badly i mean i have a great pc its only on this game it stutters constantly
Cant get into practice range. Its tough to see enemies and imho hit markers n sound effects are weak .. BUT ! Im actually haveing some fun regardless …
Should I play on Kbm or Controller?
I've never played any of the play tests for this game, and managed to only play one game yesterday. But this game feels very weird. The aim assist feels non existent, its like my aim is all over the place, and the enemies just sponge bullets, yet i die in like 2 bullets on my end.

Why don't competitive games standardise FOV so everyone's on the same page? I've never understood why you're given the option.
Because not everyone likes the same FOV
i mean xdefiant/cod are as casual as it gets. its fine
Can someone tell me how to change from keyboard to controller in the settings?
This game is bugged as hell, and suffer from sudden stutter, the first 2 matches runs at perfect 60fps, but suddenlu just start to drop
