I played it a bit last night and I think this game constantly being referred to as a CoD killer is not only not helping it, but it’s actually hurting it. It’s not that much like CoD, and we need to judge it based on its own merit and people going into it expecting an older CoD style game will be disappointed because it’s not exactly like them, even if they otherwise would have liked it with the correct expectations. Idk, maybe it’s just me.

In my personal opinion from my experience, it seems like games that have offered a way react in-game to what's happening with an appropriate response can help limit toxic releases between both teammates and enemies. these systems can certainly be abused depending on how they're implemented with spamming of them but I think it's overall a healthy way to provide the player an output of how they feel about the situation rather than none at all. Some examples are Apex emotes, League of Legends emotes, Escape From Tarkov voicelines, (almost every fighting game ever has taunts of some sort).

@@ADHDxDahveednot really. Ubisoft isn't paying for the actual licensing for these weapons' branding, like how Activision used to with Springfield and Remington. Infact, most firearm manufactuters are against selling their brand's likeness to video game developers, the government is also against using the likeness and branding of firearms in media, that are developed by opposing countries that aren't apart of NATO. The designation for a firearm isn't the same as branding. They could get away with calling the MP5, the "MP5" in the game's files and visible menus, HUD, etc., but they aren't getting away with slapping the bright red HK logo on there. The literal reason they stopped using the real world designation for actual firearms and are making pseudo sci-fi, unrealistic models for the weapons you see in-game is due to some arbitrary laws in California (where several of their offices are located) regarding the use of firearms in media, they've also stated they WANT a clear disconnect from reality by having spin-off in-game branding. Rockstar does the exact same thing with the GTA series. An example of this is the in-game weapon foundry "Singuard Arms" which is a clear spin-off of Springfield Armory. You can see a in-game logo stamped on the reciever of the M4 from MW'22, which is an example of a weapon using the actual designation for the firearm it's based off of, but it's "made" by a pretend brand. Not having the real world term and branding for virtual weapons, is a weird reason to dislike a producer and play a different game. "Why isn't the AK-47 just called that? Guess I'll go play something else that just calls a gun by the name it was given in the real world" It's not like it's THAT hard to figure out which guns in the game, are based off their real world equivalent and create a custom blueprint so you can re-name it to what you want.

@@PhilusMoore808s wtf does "arcade factor" even means? Today's COD is years light more arcade than any COD before Advance Warfare, you literally have unicorn operators and weapon skins, gamemodes that let you fly and the ability to create absolute 0 sense weapons in the gunsmith. What did you had back in the day? All Milsim operators even in BO2 + Real life weapons and much slower movement. You don't make any sense with that language

@@dybixs1400 you are clearly very upset. It’s a simple and easy game, and most importantly it’s fun, altough I only played like 2 hours. Older cods were much more fun for a lot of people. For me, it feels a bit like BO4, which was imo a good game. This is free to play, which makes it very accessible. You don’t have to play it if you don’t like it. It aims for the a similar audience as COD, and if it will be successful, it will have a positive impact of future cod games as well (cause of competition). Relax dude

As someone with a psych degree, its hard to pinpoint exactly why they have implemented the kill ranking system, however I believe it is due to player agency. For the player to be able to express how they feel directly to the server, even if the submission is completely ignored, the player feels as though their concerns have been heard and that is a validating feeling. Only time will tell if this feature can actually be utilised in some fashion that is useful to players or if it is just another gimmick…

People say that Ubi game wont last and stuff like that, but Ubi actually supports their games really well even after they flop in the beginning. For Honor has been around for ever after nearly collapsing right when it was launched, R6 almost collapsed before operation health, only to become one of the most popular fps games around to date. Hope they go after it with this game as well, I played a small amount of Xdefiant but honestly, it has the core to be a great cod alternative for people that do not have the funds to buy cod every year. It is unbelievably expensive in my region for example.

For all the OG Boys from back then: It's so refreshing to play without SBMM again. I have absolutely no problem with losing and dying more often in some rounds because in other rounds I can finally play as well as I did in the old MW3 and MW2. I was very high up on the leaderboards back then, so there weren't that many of me, so rounds with 80:2 or better were not uncommon. In the new CoD games it's just so frustrating to play only 15:15 rounds over and over again because you're only playing against the top 1% and can barely get above an overall 1KD. The healthy balance in xDefiant makes the game SO entertaining and almost nostalgic. No SBMM and my overall KD is immediately 3.8. This is a game I'm happy to pay for a season pass for again!
