I personally can't stand warzone content anymore man. It's too played out. I still love XD and haven't had hardly any issues and have only ran into cheaters twice in the 150 hours I've played.

XDefiant is Organic? COD has never made me rage quit. I can't even play 4 matches of XDefiant and not quit one of them. The DEVS completely suck at team balancing. They put all the best one 1 team, and the worst on the other team, over and over and over. MAP voting is fake, I've had multiple games where the least voted map got in, which was always the one on the left. Hit Reg, Netcode, Server selection, etc. Game is trash right now. Crappy guns and attachments from Far Cry I think, crappy maps, crappy characters, crappy store, etc..

Last night I played XDefiant, I was 1st place on my team, only had like 20 kills, next guy has like 7, next guy 4, like.. this is stupid.

My problem is the battle pass for the first. Like don't lock new content behind it like cod i hated that i want to do challenges and feel like i earned it not like grind tiers. And the pacing is slow on the battle pass they said they made it faster i feel still nothing still the same for me and i don't have a lot of time to grind a battle pass. And then the game it self is not really rewarding they said gunplay is important but i disagree they made a R6 in cod style like where abilities give you advantages where it shouldn't i hope that get tweaked and i hope the make it more enjoyable like the movement is good but not fluent.

Can't find much to disagree with in this. Games take a while even in public lobbies and at night when you think it would be easier it's just a random shot of a quick game or not. Sometim3s it actually feels like it needs to wait for a game to finish to use some of those players to fill your game. I do want to point out, with Aches wuo is an ex cod pro on the dev team. Im sure it wouldnt have been hard to consult him and prevent the problems with ranked being there from the start of the game. I mean there is a tons of games that have made mistakes to learn from. Ow role queue so that you didnt have all tanks playing, anyone could see the obvious problems that they didnt because to be blunt they wanted to push it out fast. I get releasing it to get teaction before cod comes out but you shoot yourself in the foot by releasing a half made game. And fps in this day in age with really bad hit reg, ranked play that is basiclaly unplayable because no one wants to play it, just a recipe for player loss

White listed and protected by Activision. All Activision cares about is promotion and money. Even well know streamers like Ghost Aydan have been constantly exposed and still supported by Activision.
