The XDefiant release date is now locked for May 21 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (via Ubisoft Connect). Launch info revealed.
Gamers have spent a long time complaining about SBMM, but since XDefiant doesn't have it they are realizing they aren't good at video games.
I am one of those players who are learning this. My k/d is probably 0.5 on there, and I think it’s absolutely great. I’d rather find ways to win against better players than to be coddled into thinking I’m good at something.
Games that highlight deaths In objective type game modes are pretty thick tbh
The game hit registration & being hit behind cover & snipers having zero flinch for a game that was In a playable state 2yrs ago is pretty annoying.
Onto the subject, People get older> People's reaction times get worse. I grew up on GoW/Halo/MW2 - I think its fair to say between 2013-2020 we've had a fair amount of shooters since then & people have become more accustomed to'em.
I come from the GoW/Halo/MW2 days myself (hated call of duty back then) Lmao I be smacking people in this game. The weapons are really all over place though. If I had perfect hit reg and didn’t get shot behind cover my gawd… I’d get reported every match. Game is solid though…
I hate snipers. I just have to say it. It’s the most annoying way to die in these kinds of games. No flinch is crazy. It’s why I dislike cod over all.
When Halo 5 came out I could play at mid to high Diamond-level, six years later in Halo Infinite I struggle to maintain platinum level rank. I’m simply not quick enough to keep up. I can still main a KD average of 1.1 to 1.3 in Gears, Halo and COD, but don’t enjoy COD that much anymore due to it being super twitchy. Also how twitchy is XDefiant ?
@Sciurus
My kid plays it full twitch. But he rakes in the kills. So he’s whipping around his camera a lot.
Another issue is pointed out by the fans. Xdefiant developers are under fire for not providing the players with enough weapon XP.
Beautiful game but it’s a small area spawn camp game so far. Nobody does objectives camp and team deathmatch.
The lack of SBMM in XDefiant is helping some players realize that skill-based matchmaking may have been helping them after all.
Don't think the issue is SBMM itself, it's how aggressive it can be.
Have a good round, your loosing badly the next and vice versa.
