In response to a player’s question, Rubin said it’s “very likely” you’ll be able to voice chat with the enemy team in the future—they’re “just not sure when [it will arrive] at the moment.” “It’s on the list,” he continued, so you can rest assured that the game’s development team is working on bringing it into every match you jump into.
We recently spoke to one of the embedded QA testers who worked on XDefiant, and they detailed what the development process was like and how the team hated the Hot Shot game mode.

Mark Rubin, the lead designer of Ubisoft’s now-dead free-to-play shooter XDefiant, has left the games industry following his project’s death.
So much wrong with Xdefiant. At one point they started using the worst ideas for their game and FPS fans saw it in the previews.
No offense but if Xdefiant represents your best the industry is better off for it.
"We had other issues though as well that we tried to be transparent about. For one we had crippling tech debt using an engine that wasn’t designed for what we were doing...Another issue we had was having the right resources to make content for the game."
Ubi set them up for failure out of the gate. And he says they had stuff in the pipes that should have been at launch means Ubi rushed it out and the devs didn't.
Ubisoft multiplayer XDefiant has only one day left until servers are shut down, leaving players a short time to claim refunds.
I knew it was DoA. They had their chance when the entire community hated MW3. It bounced back and did a dropshot 360 no-scope on XDefiant. That was it.
Good, good. Let the hate flow.
Good now make the weapon grind less egregious, balance the factions ( DedSec is a joke, Libertad heals are weak).
Make the guns look less like garbage ( AK is god awfully ugly).
Good stuff
