XDefiant Isn't a Call of Duty Killer, Nor Does it Need to Be

The XDefiant Open Beta has sadly come to an end, and while the team is undoubtedly working hard and looking through all the provided feedback, one thing that has somewhat stuck out for us from those who have played it is the stark comparison being made between it, and the Call of Duty franchise.

Call of duty is overrated. Same game every year. Different skins.

Tacoboto333d ago

And then you can buy more different skins in your new different-skinned game's store

It's very overrated but still a moneymaker because of the casual gamer

GhostScholar333d ago

Most of the people I know that play call of duty play it every spare second they have and spend hundreds of dollars on micro trans. I wouldn’t call that casual. What’s a real gamer to you? Someone who only plays souls games?

Casual call of duty fan. The game is build around microtransactions regardless if you're a hard-core or casual fan.

Why did they do a short beta in the middle of the week? We only got like three rounds in, unfortunately.

Similar to call of duty , this doesn't look all that interesting to begin with

Unfortunately the game is hella ass. They should remove the specialists, libertad has the best ability so just give healing to everyone since everyone is using libertad. Hit registration is unbelievably awful. The whole game feels like mobile trash.

It doesn't matter, most likely the player count is low and the game will be a ghost town once the Twitch people farm it for content,

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.
