  • XDefiant released a few weeks ago and it's been a surprising amount of fun! It's a return to a more casual type of FPS fun, and takes inspiration from Call of Duty. More importantly, the game succeeds in giving COD fans things they've been asking for. But... with Black Ops 6 on the Horizon, can XDefiant compete with Call of Duty?

    It's funny a company took this approach.

Honestly, all for it and it makes me want to give it a try! Though, tread cautiously considering we know what company backed this game and how quickly they can flip once they establish a foothold.

But actually playing on point, getting on the objective, unless you're also getting those kills, doesn't do shit for your weapon xp.
      I mean congrats on gold, but a lot of us either don't have the time or the skill to rack up enough of those kills to level up a weapon at a reasonable pace. At level 33, taking advantage of double xp weapons, my 2 most used guns are only at level 15 or so.

    None of the operators are actual characters from the respective franchises, only their gadgets is what connects them to it. It is very easy to tell if you look at the new faction “GSX” based on the R6 Siege faction “GSG9”, instead of having the actual operators like Jager, Blitz, Bandit or IQ, we got three random characters that have their gadgets, the trophy system from Jager and the Flashing Shield from Blitz, and the universal defensive gadget from R6 Siege which is barbed wire.

      @@zeep3047 yeah I agree too. With how Ubisoft keeps shoving Ezio in every game across the genres, it cheapens the value of the character. I'm fine with Ezio's outfit being in the game, but not Ezio himself. However, I think they can use the known characters for a short story in a PvE mission or game-mode and give players a taste of the character's origin game. At the end of the day, it is Ubisoft's biggest advertisement, so they might as well show us why their games are worth playing.
      Imagine somehow becoming trapped in the Animus and Rebecca and Sean help you escape that. But they need to you to decode some of the Assassin's memories inside Animus to find something that helps you escape. Or just let us fight the Spider-Tank alongside Wrench while Prodigy's The Day is My Enemy blaring, that's all I need.

    Killstreaks in COD were literally the definition of the Rich get Richer. It was satisfying when you got them yourself, but it made it feel very difficult to come back when the enemies had them, while also encouraging camping and hiding. That's why I thought the change to Score Streaks and especially the Support Packages from MW3 (2011) were so good, it actually did the opposite, encouraging you to get out there and secure as many objectives and put yourself in risky spots to get kills because even if you died it didn't negate all of your efforts, but the rewards weren't crazy impactful (except for the stealth bomber) so it also didn't feel like it was difficult to come back if the enemy team is pulling ahead.
    Edit: (not important to my previous point)
    We never got the chance to try it in an official capacity, but I think a hybrid system would be ideal. You get score streaks as you do now, but whenever you die, instead resetting your score back to zero, it only resets it a certain amount, let's say 400 Points. That way people aren't going to hide for minutes on end because they are one kill away from a high tier streak reward, but they also aren't going to run around like a maniac trying to aggressively get as many kills as possible regardless of how many times they die since they don't get punished for dying. Basically, you just wanna keep your Score/Death ratio pretty high and that's how you get rewarded. BUT, you can't unlock the same streak rewards on the same streak, you will need to either die enough times that it sets you to zero, unlock all your steak rewards so it wraps around, or switch your loadout/class. (this prevents the obvious issue of getting a killstreak, dying, and getting that same killstreak even faster than the first time due to not losing all progress)

      ​@Versace_sheets First, you got to be almost 3 mins in before the sponsorship is disclosed. With that said, ubisoft isn't paying actman for an 18min video if it would provide negative publicity for Xdefiant. The video is essentially an ad for Xdefiant. Sure he provided some negatives to make the comparison seem more fair, but the moment some is being paid by one of the competitors you can immediately dismiss whatever they said after.

      To be fair, he did stream the game not that long ago, so I already assumed that a video based on that stream will come. Its a new game, people wanna know if its worth their time, after all.

      ​@@mooncheese7002well ubisoft paid for whats essentially an 18min advertisement for Xdefiant. They arent really going to know if its worth playing since the content creator is literally being paid by the game developers lol. If you clicked the video hoping for actmans true reaction, then at about 3mins in youll be severely disappointed. This is coming from someone who has played and enjoys Xdefiant.

      @@mooncheese7002 i know, but can you really tell me there isn't a bias when you're getting paid to talk about it? When his channel is dedicated to reviews and you have totally sponsored videos mixed in with reviews it's not great. Just like his payday video. I know he's acknowledged that, but let's be real, the money absolutely affected how he presented that game and look where it is now. I enjoy his videos and channel, I just wish the line between sponsored and not wasn't so blurry.

    16:09 None of the characters are from the games the faction is based on, they are only inspired by the characters in that game. For example even though the abilities in the upcoming R6 faction are from R6 (Jäger’s ADS and Blitz’s shield) all three characters are original and only based off of the R6 operators.
