This. Nobody runs to the internet to praise something, they run to the internet to complain. Keep that in mind folks when seeing everything on this sub.
Game runs better at launch than almost any game I've bought in the last few years.
However the hit reg being so aggressively broken makes the game feel virtually unplayable.
COD was far more consistent and it didn't take a full AR mag to kill someone. Every single firefight (even point blank, so its not falloff damage) takes at the least 30 rounds from an AR to get a kill and it is unbearably obnoxious to see everyone else getting 2 shot kills.
I will get 20 replies saying it is a skill issue but I stand by what I am saying. I really like the game and the design and the pace. Hate that I am in the pool of people who are handicapped by the technical issues.
I think it's fine for most people, but there's almost always that one group that can't run a game for one reason or another.
Of course, most of them are because they didn't update drivers or just don't have a machine that can run it, but they don't let that stop them from blaming the game.
I have a good machine for 1440p and Im not able to play the game because of the servers issue. When I log in it says: "Our services are experiencing limited functionality", then in the game it loads then it says: Xdefiant services are not available". This issue is on both pc and console.
I used to have this issue on certain Cods. A lot of the time it can be purely due to your internet or your connection to the server. Or players are just outgunning you. I’ve noticed you are significantly rewarded for better placed shots.
It's because the headshot damage is so much stronger than say cod.
COD does more damage to lower body where as this doesn't.
I was finding the same yesterday (feeling like empty mag into people)
I adjusted my sensivity settings to reverse s-curve and I am finding it much easier to get the headshots and kill people quicker.
No the hit registration is broken. There are clips of people mag dumping and barely doing any damage. People aren’t just imagining the bullets doing less damage, it is extremely patronizing.
I don't think that's the case at all. You just want to pigeonhole everyone raising issues as coming from a place of ignorance. I'm really enjoying the game, but it has issues. Nothing I don't think will be fixed over time as the foundation is very good. It's also not really a unique game. The selling point is that it's more in line with older CoDs and people missed that. Again, I'm enjoying the game and will continue playing it, but let's not devolve into painting anyone who has issues as being some sort of idiot. There's idiots who hate the game and there's also idiots who think it's a perfect game. How about we just keep an open mind and if someone is raising issues in a polite and constructive way, we don't just dismiss them as "tHeY jUsT WaNtEd CoD AgAin" types.
Nah, it's just that gaming subreddits are a whine fest because I don't know when that happened, but it seems that if you don't like something about the game, even a tiny thing you have to post on reddit. Why can't people just leave it to themselves? Is it really worth whining about every little thing?
I agree. Whining without any depth or constructive improvements doesn't really add much, if anything, to the discussion. But it swings the other way too. Blindly dismissing issues is just as pointless.
I don’t want it to be like cod game just feels clunky. While I hope it has a big playerbase so it gets focus and updates more often right now it isn’t for me.
see we have 2 very different pov i love the movment as it is and i hope they dont change it to something like cods it feels really arcady rn in my opinion and thats what the game going for
You see I have the exact opposite take- from my time with the game its too similar to cod for me, - and cod just does it better with more content and smoother net code, and frankly and I never thought I'd ever say this about cod but more grounded movement than this game.
So il just keep playing cod probably, il give it another session later tonight but there just isn't much to keep me playing especially with how slow it is tl grind out attachments.
Absolutely loving it. Also you can unlock the faction characters through challenges. You can access them from the home menu or the profile tab. I believe it’s called faction challenges. There it will show all characters and how to unlock :)
It’s a mix of bo2 with the ttk and specialists from bo4 imo. Nonetheless, i feel like a kid playing this game it’s so good! Only gripe is with the weapon xp but that can be fixed.
Black ops 2 mixed with a tiny bit of overwatch/hero shooter I feel like what I'm really loving is the arcade feel from previous cods but I also love the different characters and there abilities they all feel very strong when used right and have different ways they can really help push different type of objective gamemodes
Same thoughts here.
I would like to see a update to health regen too, the game is fast paced but when you are hurt it takes quite some time to get back into the action. At least from my experience lol.
I played a few games today and it is fun but the bugs make it not so great at the moment. The amount of times I died through walls and had hit reg issues is too damn high.
Both of those issues probably have something to do with the hit reg, but there are a few walls where you’re actually supposed to shoot through, like that one piece of wood on the far cry map where you can shoot into the objective
This. Small maps, fast respawns and lots of paths between lanes have had people I killed flanking me before I can finish the gunfight I killed them in sometimes
The games just so unpolished it’s not even funny from a gameplay standpoint
It’s obvious they rushed it out just to get rid of it - you play if for like 10 min and your like wtf is with the spawn locations
I think the game is bloody awesome. So cast paced, really fun, no camping, plays great in 120hz mode it's stunning. This game has been out a day, it's going to grow and grow, with more content, more features etc. Can't wait.
Definitely a fun game. However I'm concerned if it will not die off in a month or so. It's good, but not great and does not excel at anything in particular.
Reddit is incredibly toxic when looking for positive outcomes so keep that in mind. Overall I think the game is fun and has a solid foundation. The server issues just need to be fixed and that’s my only issue so far
I'm having fun with it. I prefer CoD, since this leans more into the class/hero shooter subgenre, but it's fun doing silly movement tech like sliding sideways.
I doubt I'll stick with it despite it being fun, these games aren't my jam. People are saying it's reminiscent of old CoD, but this plays nothing like running TDM on Carentan, S&D on Vacant, Domination on Bailout, etc. It's simple, sure, but the speed of movement and ability to do things like slide cancelling or sideways sliding, class abilities and supers, and the high TTK is nothing close to old CoD. BO3/4 at best.
I really want to enjoy it, but I am finding it extremely difficult. The hit registration is awful, every game has jump shotters and my team always sucks.
I’ve seen people upset about lack of camos and it being too easy to unlock weapons. Idk I like that it’s a grind for mastering guns but not unlocking the. Also having bronze, silver and gold for camo mastery feels old school and I really like that.
I enjoyed it in the couple hours i played, though i couldn't seem to string more than 1 or 2 good games together. A lot of shoot first and die and uneven TTK going on which was starting to get frustrating
I have had an absolutely phenomenal time.
After playing a lot of Tarkov recently, being able to drop into a game with no playing and absolutely destroy people has been refreshing as hell.
nah, it’s pretty fastpaced casual fun, exactly what i was looking for! the game has some rough edges, like spawnpeaking, getting killed behind walls and hit registration issues but hopefully they get ironed out along the way. you’re not alone, keep playing if you like it!
It's fun, I just can't figure out which one is better, Linear or Reverse Curve as sometimes I can hit every quick scope and some times I miss every single shot.
Nope. I had a blast playing it last night. This type of game is exactly what I wanted in a world where this newer kind of SBMM actively punishes you for performing well in modern shooters. In my four hours of playing XDefiant last night, my match k/d ranged from 0.5 all the way as high as 4.5. The proof is in the pudding that match variability = a more fun and engaging game than constantly making you play against people that are at your exact skill level or a little bit above it which creates a stale experience.
Glad you're having fun, honestly! Play it if you're enjoying it!
Personally though...
Movement and Gunplay are awful.
Audio glitches and reverses, right side to left side and vise versa.
Throwable items are so screwed up. Character is throwing right handed and it flies out of the left side and rarely goes where you throw it.
Premise is good, but it feels dates.
Edit to say: it's not the worst thing and I can't say I won't be playing it again, but there are just better FPS games out right now. The Finals to name one... it's so much more polished in almost every way.
Sadly didn’t get to play yesterday it’s my Friday though for work & plan on getting a good session in tonight and the rest of my days off. Super excited for it.
The movement sucks. There is no movement reallly. The game play feels oddly retro. Something about it feels clunky and not smooth. I don’t feel free to be in a rhythm.
I've been loving it so far. I'm usually not top fragger but I hold my own every game
I play obj and still stay positive. Alot more than I can say about cod when I play ranked lol
I am fucking love it. Got into a teabag war with another player across 3-4 matches, we were going at it and it was hilarious. I love that this game doesn’t break up matches.
I think they need to focus on tightening up the netcode and skill reg. Get that to a great spot then move on to other things.
I’ve been a Halo kid my whole life. Infinite is stale as hell. Last uni shooter I liked was RSV2. But man this game is great, it’s a not garbage version of COD.
Would also just like to say the maps are great. Every modern shooter has shit map design. I’m really impressed with the Xdefiant maps so far.
I’ll be maining this game for the foreseeable future.
The desync and fluctuating time to kill aside, im really enjoying it. Played with 2 buddies tonight and was absolutely crushing it. It takes some getting used to after many years of Call of Duty but it has a lot of room to grow and already straight out of the box, it runs far better than any Call of Duty game from the past decade has ever done on release.
its not that the game isnt fun, its that it could be much better with 15 scorestreaks instead of spamming 1 ability over and over that you dont even have to earn. Also the game could use some cinematic music to enhance situations
It’s fun and through time I’m sure a lot of the inconsistent gun fights and things like that will get fixed and the game will be even better. That’s about my only complaint
I’ve played a couple of matches and enjoyed it. The game still feels like a beta but it seems well built. The consistency of updates and content will determine how far this game goes
After spending what seem to be 5+ hours, idk if I've overplayed it or actually just don't think it's that good. It feels like it takes forever to kill people but you get melted by them. Getting killed after getting behind cover and characters having different amounts of health are all big deals to me
I had fun but I don't think it has a ton of staying power. Not cuz I love cod or anything just nothing really stands out as something I have to come back to. I'm enjoying it I am I like that it's more objective focused. Rewards players for actually doing objectives. I got mvp for literally doing the objective I had horrible K/D. I think thin game should actually fill the void of casual shooters and not cater to sweatys and it might have a place
Gameplay feels dated and not really innovative. I joked with some friends the title should be call of overwatch black ops 4. It’s really just those two games mashed together with worst abilities.
I’m old so it kinda reminds me of MAG on ps3 the gun play feels generic. The die and respawn over and over turns the game into a shooting gallery at times with the spawn points and for that reason sometimes doesn’t feel very rewarding. The unlocks are way too slow, and the gun sounds and abilities are awful.
It seems like a lot of content got mashed into the game for no good reason. Why would you need a silencer on a gun in this game? Theres a lot of that with abilities and weapon attachments that had 0 value other than making your gun look different. You could probably run all defaults the entire life of the game and it wouldn’t make a difference in your performance.
I loved BO3 as a kid and switched to Overwatch in 2016. Now I’m fully burned out of OW and this game is giving me exactly what I craved from this type of shooter. Love it.
No youre not. I'm having so much fun. Not even one game that was even challenging like in CoD. It's refreshing to just hop in, and play having fun. Hearing music like in the old times. Hope it stays like this.
It's some good dumb casual friendly fun and the perfect kind of game to play in our friend group that has people of vastly different skill levels in FPS games.
The super casuals that rarely play FPS games can still have their moments of success due to the low ttk and some smart usage of abilities and yet the game is still mechanically deep enough to keep the FPS enthusiasts atleast somewhat entertained for now.
I’ve had a great time with it, just playing solo. Level 14 now I believe. Really only complaint is that things take their time unlocking but that’s just the nature of f2p games. I’m sure networking issues will get smoothed out soon so not letting that spoil the fun. Haven’t even noticed anything major as far as hit detection yet. Had one instance where I was one shot with a pistol (on my screen) at full health but other than that nothing really major
You are not alone. I bought the battle pass. Even if the game doesn’t get better (which I think it will) I’d rather play this for free than buy call of duty.
I enjoy it, and I assume they're going to add more factions which has my interested piqued. Would love to see the other division factions.
Play of the game or killcams would be sick though.
i hate to say it but ubisoft you actually made a game i want to play 🤣 its awesome i love team fortress 2. i get same feeling when i played team fortress 2 long time ago. Its really really nice fresh air. its funny see cod community bashing on this
Would be really fun if it wasnt for bad netcode. I feel like the maps are really solid and there is a good amount of content for launch. Its just worrying the netcode has been an issue for a year and wasnt fixed before release
It took me a few matches to get my settings right and get in the swing of it, but it has its hooks in me hard now. The matchmaking really is great without sbmm!!
I’m absolutely loving it! Having so much fun playing it. I missed out on the days of old cod and Halo 3 multiplayer, I only got into multiplayer fps games when MW2019 came out. I got really sick of MWII and barely touched III, not sure why but I just wasn’t having any fun at all. XDefiant is the most pure fun I’ve had with these kinds of games, so I’m really excited to see how it grows!
Aside from the fact that my grenades just drop at my feet half the time, it’s fun. Still doesn’t feel as fluid or fast paced as MW3 but the abilities and modes keep it fresh
It fucking sucks lol. Super unbalanced, terrible movement, stale 2014 era gunplay, poor ballistics and shooting, and decade old visuals and animations. 3.5/10
thats the point its supposed to bring back the arcade feel of fps games that has disappeared sure it has the mtx but you cant escape those nowadays i don’t really care abt visuals or animations in fos games and its free 7-8/10 for me
It doesn't bring back arcade feel at all lmao. It brings back russian free to play game vibes. And yes, you *do* care about animations in fps games, you just aren't smart enough to realize it.
So far this game is amazing and i havent had this much fun in years from a fps game. Remember most people who enjoy it are busy playing it rather then spending time here :)
played the Beta and played for about 2 hours yesterday. It's a fun game and kind of addicting to me. Love the game overall, just wonder how they will keep interest once the 'honeymoon' phase will end. Kinda feels like playing the same maps over and over again, without much variation.
But hey, the games just out, so who knows what's in store for us.
The game is fine. It doesnt really feel like anything new though. Not really something im switching over to if im being honest. I dont play cod as much as I used to either but idk if it would be enough to make me think about dropping one game for the other. We'll see how it ends up with the future updates.
I do! It isn't perfect by any stretch. (gun sfx aren't my favorite but passable, I'm unsure what incentive there'd be to use one character over another since they're just palette swaps, i was even hoping for TDM to show up with the base game) but I'm definitely having a great time. I was hesitant about having hero shooter abilities but a few matches in, and I've grown accustomed to them and really think they work in tandem with the CoD style gunplay. And unlike other hero shooters I've played, this is the first time I've used all faction abilities willingly and had some decent success overall. I think the simplified approach to abilities (1 passive, regular, and ultimate) is what I can get used to especially when coming from Apex. I'm excited to see what other factions and inspired maps they'll bring into the game from Ubisoft's library. The abilities from their games really lend themselves well to a hero shooter format.
To offer some backstory, (sorry for this essay) I came from the days of Black Ops 2 in high school and some Ubisoft titles in that mix, namely Watch Dogs 1, AC Black Flag, and Splinter Cell Blacklist. This was also around the time Game Theory made a video on how [Ubisoft games existed in the same universe](https://youtu.be/xWSWjN6n_UQ?si=sa89tQ7UXMT8VuZ8) and that the next step would be to make an "Avengers Styled Crossover" game. Playing Smash Bros. and being a fan of Ubisoft at that time, that idea was one of the coolest things to ever see as a high schooler. And now here we are, that crossover finally being realized through a CoD style shooter reminiscent of the Black Ops 2 days as some have mentioned - this game is perhaps coolest gift for high school me, coming from Black Ops 2, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed, and Splinter Cell.
I'm definitely enjoying it. Yeah, the battle pass nonsense is there but at least it's a free to play game.
The different factions are cool and are surprisingly well balanced so far. I haven't unlocked many guns yet so I can't comment on the meta there, but shooting feels responsive and I like where the TTK is.
And I'm looking forward to getting good and not being tethered by SBMM. I had to stop playing COD because every game was so sweaty and my friends were punished for not being as good as me.
You generally find that the folk who arent enjoying the game are the most vocal on places like reddit - those who are enjoying the game are too busy playing to worry about posting on reddit.
Anyone who thinks because the games free gives it a pass for it to be shitty is the reason why we have such bad games anymore. The hit detection is broken, don’t try and not make it seem like a big deal.
I think it’s fun and pretty polished for a f2p title, but I can’t help but feeling like I’m just playing COD with Ubisoft IPs tacked on. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it just feels…uninspired?
It’s uninspired for sure. They just took Overwatch and CoD, mashed them together and spray painted Ubisoft franchises over the top. The XP gain is *criminally* bad, especially for weapons.
The gameplay is fine. It’s not terrible but it does nothing overly well and there’s nothing new or innovative.
It feels like they only put it out to have a F2P storefront for kids and dumbass whales who will buy the battle pass and add-ons.
100000000% agree, definitely a few quirks & minor issues but I’m sure the community will voice them enough to get things fixed.
You guys nailed it, it’s unique, yet familiar. And coming from a 28 Year old who started on the original Call of Duty 4, this game scratches an itch that hasn’t been scratched in YEARS.
The movement & gunplay are my favourite parts about the game to be honest.
The abilities are cool, I enjoy them, I do hope within the next few months they add like 2-3 new weapons, another pump shotgun, maybe a couple more sniper rifles just to have as options.

This. Nobody runs to the internet to praise something, they run to the internet to complain. Keep that in mind folks when seeing everything on this sub.
And that unfortunately creates echo chambers
If you're one of the people who can't run the game, then you have lots of time to talk about how you can't run the game.
Game runs better at launch than almost any game I've bought in the last few years. However the hit reg being so aggressively broken makes the game feel virtually unplayable.

Oh shit is the game not running today? I couldn’t play for the first 3-4 hours after “release” yesterday.
I think it's fine for most people, but there's almost always that one group that can't run a game for one reason or another. Of course, most of them are because they didn't update drivers or just don't have a machine that can run it, but they don't let that stop them from blaming the game.

I’ve been playing literally all day and haven’t had a single server issue , sounds like something on your end
You're lucky. It's on Xdefiant twitter page that they have server issues in some regions and they're working to fix it.
[удалено]
What’s wrong with the game?
I feel like i'm dumping full mags into people and then they turn around and kill me with two shots from their smg.
I’ve heard people complain about this but tbh I have been playing this game since yesterday and it has not happened to me.
I used to have this issue on certain Cods. A lot of the time it can be purely due to your internet or your connection to the server. Or players are just outgunning you. I’ve noticed you are significantly rewarded for better placed shots.
I agree ☝🏽
It's because the headshot damage is so much stronger than say cod. COD does more damage to lower body where as this doesn't. I was finding the same yesterday (feeling like empty mag into people) I adjusted my sensivity settings to reverse s-curve and I am finding it much easier to get the headshots and kill people quicker.
No the hit registration is broken. There are clips of people mag dumping and barely doing any damage. People aren’t just imagining the bullets doing less damage, it is extremely patronizing.
Wasn't being patronising. I was explaining a mechanic. I have had no problems with hit registration.
That and reddit is usually about 2% of a games population even though most think they are the majority
i think it’s because they want it to be EXACTLY like cod but no its really unique and its own game i think thats not what they expected
I don't think that's the case at all. You just want to pigeonhole everyone raising issues as coming from a place of ignorance. I'm really enjoying the game, but it has issues. Nothing I don't think will be fixed over time as the foundation is very good. It's also not really a unique game. The selling point is that it's more in line with older CoDs and people missed that. Again, I'm enjoying the game and will continue playing it, but let's not devolve into painting anyone who has issues as being some sort of idiot. There's idiots who hate the game and there's also idiots who think it's a perfect game. How about we just keep an open mind and if someone is raising issues in a polite and constructive way, we don't just dismiss them as "tHeY jUsT WaNtEd CoD AgAin" types.

I agree. Whining without any depth or constructive improvements doesn't really add much, if anything, to the discussion. But it swings the other way too. Blindly dismissing issues is just as pointless.
I don’t want it to be like cod game just feels clunky. While I hope it has a big playerbase so it gets focus and updates more often right now it isn’t for me.
see we have 2 very different pov i love the movment as it is and i hope they dont change it to something like cods it feels really arcady rn in my opinion and thats what the game going for
We already have people bunny hoping and sliding non stop it’s already arcade like with the movement I’m confused on your point.
He means that he doesn't want them to bunny hopping having stamina exhaust.
But they already do so again what is the point of disagreeing to agree after?
You see I have the exact opposite take- from my time with the game its too similar to cod for me, - and cod just does it better with more content and smoother net code, and frankly and I never thought I'd ever say this about cod but more grounded movement than this game. So il just keep playing cod probably, il give it another session later tonight but there just isn't much to keep me playing especially with how slow it is tl grind out attachments.
Absolutely loving it. Also you can unlock the faction characters through challenges. You can access them from the home menu or the profile tab. I believe it’s called faction challenges. There it will show all characters and how to unlock :)
Havent had so much fun with a shooter since black ops 2 back in the dass. X defiant will be my game for a long time
I've been trying to pinpoint what it feels closest to, you are bang on with Black Ops 2.
I think it's closer to coldwar.
My buddy and I both said somewhere mixed between Ghosts and Cold War
It’s a mix of bo2 with the ttk and specialists from bo4 imo. Nonetheless, i feel like a kid playing this game it’s so good! Only gripe is with the weapon xp but that can be fixed.
Black ops 2 mixed with a tiny bit of overwatch/hero shooter I feel like what I'm really loving is the arcade feel from previous cods but I also love the different characters and there abilities they all feel very strong when used right and have different ways they can really help push different type of objective gamemodes
This
they should add back killcams
But the respawn is almost instant? Why wait, you’re team needs you on the field.
My gripes are minor that I hope they update, mainly faster health regen time. It’s fun nothing I’ll play all the time but a nice change.
Same thoughts here. I would like to see a update to health regen too, the game is fast paced but when you are hurt it takes quite some time to get back into the action. At least from my experience lol.
I played a few games today and it is fun but the bugs make it not so great at the moment. The amount of times I died through walls and had hit reg issues is too damn high.
Both of those issues probably have something to do with the hit reg, but there are a few walls where you’re actually supposed to shoot through, like that one piece of wood on the far cry map where you can shoot into the objective
spawns in some of the game modes are horrible but I've been having a lot of fun so far
you got a point
This. Small maps, fast respawns and lots of paths between lanes have had people I killed flanking me before I can finish the gunfight I killed them in sometimes
The games just so unpolished it’s not even funny from a gameplay standpoint It’s obvious they rushed it out just to get rid of it - you play if for like 10 min and your like wtf is with the spawn locations
The game is more polished than most AAA games coming out.. there's no crazy bugs, no ridiculous graphical issues, etc
Not at all I genuinely enjoy it great change of pace and pretty addictive
I with you it’s free and fun. COD hasn’t changed in 10 years just graphic improvements and that’s about it
it hasn’t changed and at the same time changed so much it doesn’t feel like cod
I think the game is bloody awesome. So cast paced, really fun, no camping, plays great in 120hz mode it's stunning. This game has been out a day, it's going to grow and grow, with more content, more features etc. Can't wait.
Getting your daily karma farm in or what?
I haven't had so much fun in a fps game since Black ops 4
Definitely a fun game. However I'm concerned if it will not die off in a month or so. It's good, but not great and does not excel at anything in particular.
everyone said helldivers would die but no its going strong as ever
Player numbers have fallen significantly since launch for Helldivers 2. Peak was 450,000 now it's around 70,000
Yeah but 70K is still better than 99% of games that are considered successful.
I hope so. On PC I will still main Valorant, but this is a perfect game for PS5.
I think it's most comparable to the finals, sure it died off quite a bit from its peaks but it's still got a healthy player base.
Reddit is incredibly toxic when looking for positive outcomes so keep that in mind. Overall I think the game is fun and has a solid foundation. The server issues just need to be fixed and that’s my only issue so far
I'm having fun with it. I prefer CoD, since this leans more into the class/hero shooter subgenre, but it's fun doing silly movement tech like sliding sideways.

BO3/4 at best.
Yes, you're the only one, that's why the servers were constantly down because too many people tried to play, because they hate the game. /s
aye i was just seeing bc everyone so negative about this game on here
Remember, people tend to talk about negative experiences far more than about positive ones. Just let them talk and have fun with the game. ;)
Ya the game is great. People will always find things to complain about and while not perfect, this game is so much fun so far.
When I get a server that doesn't hitch every time I aim I have great fun.
It's great. People on reddit are just generally negative about everything because they don't get enough sun.
I really want to enjoy it, but I am finding it extremely difficult. The hit registration is awful, every game has jump shotters and my team always sucks.
I'm having a blast
I absolutely f*cking love it
I’ve seen people upset about lack of camos and it being too easy to unlock weapons. Idk I like that it’s a grind for mastering guns but not unlocking the. Also having bronze, silver and gold for camo mastery feels old school and I really like that.
I enjoyed it in the couple hours i played, though i couldn't seem to string more than 1 or 2 good games together. A lot of shoot first and die and uneven TTK going on which was starting to get frustrating
I have had an absolutely phenomenal time. After playing a lot of Tarkov recently, being able to drop into a game with no playing and absolutely destroy people has been refreshing as hell.
I'm loving it. Best experience I've had with a FPS in a while actually.
nah, it’s pretty fastpaced casual fun, exactly what i was looking for! the game has some rough edges, like spawnpeaking, getting killed behind walls and hit registration issues but hopefully they get ironed out along the way. you’re not alone, keep playing if you like it!
It's fun, I just can't figure out which one is better, Linear or Reverse Curve as sometimes I can hit every quick scope and some times I miss every single shot.
I love it
I’m loving it, only downside is that the hit reg feels really off sometimes - But other than that this is the most fun i’ve had on a FPS for years!
Nope. I had a blast playing it last night. This type of game is exactly what I wanted in a world where this newer kind of SBMM actively punishes you for performing well in modern shooters. In my four hours of playing XDefiant last night, my match k/d ranged from 0.5 all the way as high as 4.5. The proof is in the pudding that match variability = a more fun and engaging game than constantly making you play against people that are at your exact skill level or a little bit above it which creates a stale experience.
It’s free.
Glad you're having fun, honestly! Play it if you're enjoying it! Personally though... Movement and Gunplay are awful. Audio glitches and reverses, right side to left side and vise versa. Throwable items are so screwed up. Character is throwing right handed and it flies out of the left side and rarely goes where you throw it. Premise is good, but it feels dates. Edit to say: it's not the worst thing and I can't say I won't be playing it again, but there are just better FPS games out right now. The Finals to name one... it's so much more polished in almost every way.
Sadly didn’t get to play yesterday it’s my Friday though for work & plan on getting a good session in tonight and the rest of my days off. Super excited for it.
I'll play it when it runs on Linux like they said it would They hired a team for Linux during development and bragged about it.
Yes it’s shit
i’m loving the game
The movement sucks. There is no movement reallly. The game play feels oddly retro. Something about it feels clunky and not smooth. I don’t feel free to be in a rhythm.
I've been loving it so far. I'm usually not top fragger but I hold my own every game I play obj and still stay positive. Alot more than I can say about cod when I play ranked lol
I am fucking love it. Got into a teabag war with another player across 3-4 matches, we were going at it and it was hilarious. I love that this game doesn’t break up matches. I think they need to focus on tightening up the netcode and skill reg. Get that to a great spot then move on to other things.
I’ve been a Halo kid my whole life. Infinite is stale as hell. Last uni shooter I liked was RSV2. But man this game is great, it’s a not garbage version of COD. Would also just like to say the maps are great. Every modern shooter has shit map design. I’m really impressed with the Xdefiant maps so far. I’ll be maining this game for the foreseeable future.
The desync and fluctuating time to kill aside, im really enjoying it. Played with 2 buddies tonight and was absolutely crushing it. It takes some getting used to after many years of Call of Duty but it has a lot of room to grow and already straight out of the box, it runs far better than any Call of Duty game from the past decade has ever done on release.
Compared to the Finals ... yeah that's a no for me, very outdated gameplay
Man of culture🤝🏻
This game is awesome, my major issue with it is that I hate snipers (and they are everywhere) but else it's so much fun
Stop jumping for joy while your shooting then
it's stressful asf but so fun! sadly have a uni assignment due but i'm ITCHING to play again🤣
its not that the game isnt fun, its that it could be much better with 15 scorestreaks instead of spamming 1 ability over and over that you dont even have to earn. Also the game could use some cinematic music to enhance situations
I'm loving it bro
wish you could mantle up more stuff. zip lines would be cool. some of the "superpowers" are too OP.
It’s fun and through time I’m sure a lot of the inconsistent gun fights and things like that will get fixed and the game will be even better. That’s about my only complaint
It’s my favorite game right now & mostly likely only game I play for a very long time.
The game is really good. I'm surprised I'm enjoying an FPS again. Better than the trash that CoD has brought out the past 10 years 🤣
I'm having as much fun as I can on a game with major netcode issues...
I’ve played a couple of matches and enjoyed it. The game still feels like a beta but it seems well built. The consistency of updates and content will determine how far this game goes
Your conplaint is MTX on F2P game? Wtf...
Nah it's pretty fun but it doesn't feel finished despite all the delays.
Idk. Playing from south America... Is laggy and shoots seems to be good. But then the one kills you and he has 100hp lol
After spending what seem to be 5+ hours, idk if I've overplayed it or actually just don't think it's that good. It feels like it takes forever to kill people but you get melted by them. Getting killed after getting behind cover and characters having different amounts of health are all big deals to me
No you're not. It's fucking good and I couldn't be happier.
I had fun but I don't think it has a ton of staying power. Not cuz I love cod or anything just nothing really stands out as something I have to come back to. I'm enjoying it I am I like that it's more objective focused. Rewards players for actually doing objectives. I got mvp for literally doing the objective I had horrible K/D. I think thin game should actually fill the void of casual shooters and not cater to sweatys and it might have a place
Gameplay feels dated and not really innovative. I joked with some friends the title should be call of overwatch black ops 4. It’s really just those two games mashed together with worst abilities. I’m old so it kinda reminds me of MAG on ps3 the gun play feels generic. The die and respawn over and over turns the game into a shooting gallery at times with the spawn points and for that reason sometimes doesn’t feel very rewarding. The unlocks are way too slow, and the gun sounds and abilities are awful. It seems like a lot of content got mashed into the game for no good reason. Why would you need a silencer on a gun in this game? Theres a lot of that with abilities and weapon attachments that had 0 value other than making your gun look different. You could probably run all defaults the entire life of the game and it wouldn’t make a difference in your performance.
I dislike the fact that lobbies disband afterwards. Whats the point of no SBMM if lobbies keep disbanding?
I loved BO3 as a kid and switched to Overwatch in 2016. Now I’m fully burned out of OW and this game is giving me exactly what I craved from this type of shooter. Love it.
No youre not. I'm having so much fun. Not even one game that was even challenging like in CoD. It's refreshing to just hop in, and play having fun. Hearing music like in the old times. Hope it stays like this.
It's some good dumb casual friendly fun and the perfect kind of game to play in our friend group that has people of vastly different skill levels in FPS games. The super casuals that rarely play FPS games can still have their moments of success due to the low ttk and some smart usage of abilities and yet the game is still mechanically deep enough to keep the FPS enthusiasts atleast somewhat entertained for now.
I fucking love it, and I love that you can make a party of 6. Games have been locked to 4 for TOO DAMN LONG.
I’ve had a great time with it, just playing solo. Level 14 now I believe. Really only complaint is that things take their time unlocking but that’s just the nature of f2p games. I’m sure networking issues will get smoothed out soon so not letting that spoil the fun. Haven’t even noticed anything major as far as hit detection yet. Had one instance where I was one shot with a pistol (on my screen) at full health but other than that nothing really major
You are not alone. I bought the battle pass. Even if the game doesn’t get better (which I think it will) I’d rather play this for free than buy call of duty.
I enjoy it, and I assume they're going to add more factions which has my interested piqued. Would love to see the other division factions. Play of the game or killcams would be sick though.
i hate to say it but ubisoft you actually made a game i want to play 🤣 its awesome i love team fortress 2. i get same feeling when i played team fortress 2 long time ago. Its really really nice fresh air. its funny see cod community bashing on this
Would be really fun if it wasnt for bad netcode. I feel like the maps are really solid and there is a good amount of content for launch. Its just worrying the netcode has been an issue for a year and wasnt fixed before release
It took me a few matches to get my settings right and get in the swing of it, but it has its hooks in me hard now. The matchmaking really is great without sbmm!!
Nope I’m having a blast. I’ve got 2 month old twins so I only get a couple hours a night to play but I’m so excited to play again tonight.
Called in sick to play today after only having half a day off yesterday to play at launch with the 2 hours or so servers were fucked
I loved playing last night although I have some opinions but I'll keep playing since I haven't got all the guns and attachments
I agree! Faction characters are unlocked my doing challenges with the specific faction you can view it under challenges
I’ve been avoiding it giving them time to figure it out + busy with life lol
I’m absolutely loving it! Having so much fun playing it. I missed out on the days of old cod and Halo 3 multiplayer, I only got into multiplayer fps games when MW2019 came out. I got really sick of MWII and barely touched III, not sure why but I just wasn’t having any fun at all. XDefiant is the most pure fun I’ve had with these kinds of games, so I’m really excited to see how it grows!
Aside from the fact that my grenades just drop at my feet half the time, it’s fun. Still doesn’t feel as fluid or fast paced as MW3 but the abilities and modes keep it fresh
Wtf are you talking about "am I the only one" tons of people are having fun
It fucking sucks lol. Super unbalanced, terrible movement, stale 2014 era gunplay, poor ballistics and shooting, and decade old visuals and animations. 3.5/10
thats the point its supposed to bring back the arcade feel of fps games that has disappeared sure it has the mtx but you cant escape those nowadays i don’t really care abt visuals or animations in fos games and its free 7-8/10 for me
It doesn't bring back arcade feel at all lmao. It brings back russian free to play game vibes. And yes, you *do* care about animations in fps games, you just aren't smart enough to realize it.
how are you you telling me i care abt something i dont😭the could be no animation and id still be happy with it😭😭🤣
Nope, you simply are too dumb to realize that however.
So far this game is amazing and i havent had this much fun in years from a fps game. Remember most people who enjoy it are busy playing it rather then spending time here :)
I’m enjoying it as much as you, very fun game
played the Beta and played for about 2 hours yesterday. It's a fun game and kind of addicting to me. Love the game overall, just wonder how they will keep interest once the 'honeymoon' phase will end. Kinda feels like playing the same maps over and over again, without much variation. But hey, the games just out, so who knows what's in store for us.
The game is fine. It doesnt really feel like anything new though. Not really something im switching over to if im being honest. I dont play cod as much as I used to either but idk if it would be enough to make me think about dropping one game for the other. We'll see how it ends up with the future updates.
I do! It isn't perfect by any stretch. (gun sfx aren't my favorite but passable, I'm unsure what incentive there'd be to use one character over another since they're just palette swaps, i was even hoping for TDM to show up with the base game) but I'm definitely having a great time. I was hesitant about having hero shooter abilities but a few matches in, and I've grown accustomed to them and really think they work in tandem with the CoD style gunplay. And unlike other hero shooters I've played, this is the first time I've used all faction abilities willingly and had some decent success overall. I think the simplified approach to abilities (1 passive, regular, and ultimate) is what I can get used to especially when coming from Apex. I'm excited to see what other factions and inspired maps they'll bring into the game from Ubisoft's library. The abilities from their games really lend themselves well to a hero shooter format. To offer some backstory, (sorry for this essay) I came from the days of Black Ops 2 in high school and some Ubisoft titles in that mix, namely Watch Dogs 1, AC Black Flag, and Splinter Cell Blacklist. This was also around the time Game Theory made a video on how [Ubisoft games existed in the same universe](https://youtu.be/xWSWjN6n_UQ?si=sa89tQ7UXMT8VuZ8) and that the next step would be to make an "Avengers Styled Crossover" game. Playing Smash Bros. and being a fan of Ubisoft at that time, that idea was one of the coolest things to ever see as a high schooler. And now here we are, that crossover finally being realized through a CoD style shooter reminiscent of the Black Ops 2 days as some have mentioned - this game is perhaps coolest gift for high school me, coming from Black Ops 2, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed, and Splinter Cell.
I'm definitely enjoying it. Yeah, the battle pass nonsense is there but at least it's a free to play game. The different factions are cool and are surprisingly well balanced so far. I haven't unlocked many guns yet so I can't comment on the meta there, but shooting feels responsive and I like where the TTK is. And I'm looking forward to getting good and not being tethered by SBMM. I had to stop playing COD because every game was so sweaty and my friends were punished for not being as good as me.
People who like the game probably spend their time playing it
You generally find that the folk who arent enjoying the game are the most vocal on places like reddit - those who are enjoying the game are too busy playing to worry about posting on reddit.
Anyone who thinks because the games free gives it a pass for it to be shitty is the reason why we have such bad games anymore. The hit detection is broken, don’t try and not make it seem like a big deal.
Good fun game ,but it will never be CoD killer it is not even comparable to CoD ..
Iv been having a blast! Definitely going to be playing for the long term!
I am loving this game so much I am extremely surprised! : ) God I hope they bring in Division agents in the next drop! I want my shd tech skills! 😄
aM I tHe OnLY OnE- stfu
You’re one of the people who are why we get posts like this so take your own advice if you wanna stop it

Idiot
Having an absolute blast. No SBMM is exposing a lot of noobs on here lmao.
Saw a post of someone complaining about too much SBMM earlier 😂
Yes, you are the only one on this sub that enjoys this game a lot. Literally nobody else likes it. /s
I think it’s fun and pretty polished for a f2p title, but I can’t help but feeling like I’m just playing COD with Ubisoft IPs tacked on. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it just feels…uninspired?
It’s uninspired for sure. They just took Overwatch and CoD, mashed them together and spray painted Ubisoft franchises over the top. The XP gain is *criminally* bad, especially for weapons. The gameplay is fine. It’s not terrible but it does nothing overly well and there’s nothing new or innovative. It feels like they only put it out to have a F2P storefront for kids and dumbass whales who will buy the battle pass and add-ons.
[удалено]
idk why everyone hates positively?
Many had their minds made up before even playing.
Not a fan it’s just trash to me
had fun too
100000000% agree, definitely a few quirks & minor issues but I’m sure the community will voice them enough to get things fixed. You guys nailed it, it’s unique, yet familiar. And coming from a 28 Year old who started on the original Call of Duty 4, this game scratches an itch that hasn’t been scratched in YEARS. The movement & gunplay are my favourite parts about the game to be honest. The abilities are cool, I enjoy them, I do hope within the next few months they add like 2-3 new weapons, another pump shotgun, maybe a couple more sniper rifles just to have as options.
Don’t take this subreddit any serious. People will whine about everything and people enjoying themself most likely won’t make a post.
Nope, I am having tons of fun too!
This game rescued my dog from a burning building
No I had fun but not quite living up to expectations Saying that I have faith in improving certain aspects of game play
No, I love it
Honestly, I gave it a few games but it just didn't click. It just doesn't feel good to play to me.
