    XDefiant is free to play... People can play BOTH games. It's not one or the other.
    The only reason they wouldn't be able to play both is if they each cost $70: in which case, many gamers who have tight budgets would have to choose one.

      Also I don’t have the negative depressive/stressful association that I have with cod with xdefiant. When I think about playing xdefiant I don’t think “meh maybe I’ll just do something else tonight because it’s gonna be too sweaty”. With xdefiant I don’t think about what day of the week or time of day it is before getting on, I literally just get on and enjoy it every time. Even if I get a really bad lobby, I know there’s gonna be lots of easy ones as well.

      I think people really underestimate the impact people’s past impressions/experiences on a game has on their motivation to keep playing it. It doesn’t matter how fancy the graphics are or how smooth the movement/gunplay is, I still have a very negative association in my mind with playing cod. Of course I’m still gonna try the game but I can’t guarantee I’ll keep playing for more than a couple months. I already completely gave up MW3 as soon as xdefiant came out and haven’t played it since.

      @admiralalyssa 23 дня назад

      @DoubleDDeacon I was leveling up the M44 over Double XP weekend.
      This is just my personal experience when quick scoping. Flinch is minimal because you either get the kill or miss and scope out before you're being shot. But when rescoping in gunfire, it's a coin toss if I center properly or not.
      While hardscoping, flinch can swing upwards OR downwards! So, in a game like CoD, you could aim at the lower body, and the flinch would jump your shot to the upper torso or a headshot. That's not the case with xDefiant. XclusiveAce speculated, that downwards recoil happens when you get hit in the head while upward flinch was on a body shot, but that's merely a theory.
      Maybe you're a top 5% player, and you can perfectly tame the flinch without noticing it, but I am not, and it has vastly upped the skill floor on snipers from the launch state (at least for me it has).

    • @DoubleDDeacon
      @DoubleDDeacon 23 дня назад

      @@admiralalyssa I am def not top 5%. You make a good point. I didn't think about this also, but this could still be a net code issue. I may not be receiving flinch simply bc the enemy rounds aren't reaching me. Possibility, but I haven't noticed it much when shooting at snipers either.

    • @admiralalyssa
      @admiralalyssa 22 дня назад +2

      @DoubleDDeacon I've been playing with snipers a little more and noticed that each scope has a different level of flinch, too.
      The 12x and 8x have a -25% flinch control stat while the variable zoom only has a -10%. The level of zoom also affects the flinch perception.
      Using the M44 with a 4x zoom, the flinch seems minimal, but my Tac 50 with the 12x is brutal.
      A 4x scope does make getting kill shots harder at a distance, though. I think it's a nice balance although the 8x scope is definitely my least favorite, high flinch, slower zoom-in in and lower consistently (at least for me).

  • @YourGuySmallFry
    @YourGuySmallFry 23 дня назад +2

    I think the biggest factor is strict SBMM in casual playlists. If call of duty drops it then I'm afraid Xdefiant will be much less appealing besides being a smaller game that's free to play. Even if Call of Duty does this it'll still be really sad that it took them this long to even consider it.

    I definitely think there's space for both of these games. The fact that XDefiant is free to play is going to be a major point, and I think if you look at things like the new movement system it actually points to the value of XDefiant. XDefiant is COD if it stopped evolving forward 10 years ago, it's simpler and that is a deliberate design decision. If you just want to jump online and shoot people in a game that's pure fun, XDefiant is one of the best games you can play. If you want something that's more nuanced, more complex with its movement and ballistics, but sets you back £70 then COD is fine but I think XDefiant will always be there for people to fall back into when they just want something simpler.
    I also think XDefiant is being made on a MUCH smaller budget. Like maybe 10 or 20% of a Call of Duty game, so that's something you need to factor in when thinking about this games success.

    The thing is, XDefiant is free to play and will constantly be improving in the background for years to come. Meanwhile, when Treyarch’s year is up COD players will only have an IW release to look forward to that costs yet another $70-$100.
    At the end of the day, unless COD makes some serious changes that are doubtful to ever happen, XDefiant will always have a much more pleasant player experience.
    When COD players are dealing with the daily frustrations that are part and parcel to the modern COD experience, XDefiant will be there offering a warm hand, new content, and quality of life updates all for the low low price of $0.

      The foundation itself is bad though, feels like a mobile game. I like what the game is trying to do and if it was on a similar engine to cod or the finals for instance, I think it would end up doing a lot better.

    Flinch for snipers only works when shooting the snipers with a chrome lined or heavy barrel with an AR or LMG. At least that's what I'm seeing. Other than that, they are exactly the same as they were pre patch. I was using the TAC-50 and realized that for some players i was getting no flinch at all when they were shooting at me but I would get flinch to others. That made me curious So I first let them kill me when I was getting flinch and it was mostly to the ak-47, RPK and ACR. Then I also didn't shoot at the players when i wasn't getting flinch and they were mostly using SMG's but a few were using rifles that were giving me flinch previously during my first test. I then figured it had to be the barrel on the heavy guns that was making the difference. So I built a few loadouts with different barrels. The only ones that actually got snipers running, were the rifles and LMG's with the chrome lined or heavy barrel. I never tested SMG's with the chrome lined and heavy barrel so I'm not sure if those are giving flinch or not. I suggest using the RPK with a chrome lined barrel and extended muzzle to get the best results against snipers. The will scatter like roaches 😂

    I’ve been surprisingly loving XDefiant all thanks to a word we’re meant to hate, It’s casual. I’m older and busier, so this golden age era cod style game, with tweaks that remove points of frustration, with its barnblitz looking maps, with overwatch abilities that can create teamwork, That’s free(!), is just so much more fun and varied. It’s intuitive and feels like every choice matters, and there’s no drone from someone’s 2 kill streak gonna pop up to ruin the 8 streak I have that were making me overly cautious. Everything is on the objective and how to achieve it, it’s great

    I’m actually through with paying 70 dollars a year to have my skins and past mtx purchases invalidated. So, I decided about a year or so ago that I truly will never play another CoD unless they introduce some sort of legacy system that allows for skins and what not to be transferred from game to game. If not the skins themselves then at least the currency I used to buy them available to me in the next game as well. Outlandish and out of pocket as that is, I’m sticking to this decision. At least with how Ubisoft has run R6S I don’t think I have to worry about an Xdefiant 2 popping up in a year to invalidate my skin purchases. Problem with the modern cods is that they operate on the same model that Xdefiant does, but also costing a premium 70 bucks for entry. Yeah, not for me.

But thats clearly been thrown out the window since bo4 and arguably even before then. the multiplayer is nothing other games havent done or are already doing and as a zombies fan i tuned out when i heard dark aether is coming back. the campaign has to really cook and even then very few games release a singleplayer experience that warrants a full price by itself.
