Super minimal content? They only drop a map 2-3 times a season a new faction every season , add new features every season. The game isn’t even a year old ffs y’all spoiled. If something isn’t added every week ppl cry about lack of content. Tik tok brain

Facts bro, legit 1 map a month and technically 1 gun a month as well if you count the 3 guns you get from the pass.

Exactly and why tf do they always need new content even every month like me personally I’m completely fine with playing this for months on end with some breaks. But that’s just me since I play the games just for fun and not for the new content.

[@vhsdeath420]

fr bro it's like 12 new maps every year wtf do they complain about? also it still a small devs team, immagine one day maybe they'll drop 2 new maps every months or 3 new maps at the start of a season and 1new map every month, let's just wait for the game to be 100% done and will be amazing, brain rotted people cant wait more then 2 months

If you haven’t played it for so long how can you comment on the limited time modes and content. And also netcode and content are ramping up a lot more in season 3.

[@B_A_R212]

⁠@@BuckeyePlays Not really lol firstly the netcode is a issue because it’s running on a new engine unlike cod so that’s not really constructive criticism and the content has been just fine since it is a small team working on this project. Also idk why everyone needs something new every single day for the game to be fun

[@Krydolph]

Not saying the playercount isn't low, or it is easy to find games outside of "primetime" - but there has for the longest time been a bug, where only looking in one specific playlist took a lot longer than if you made a custom list with a few different modes. Quickplay is new, and because it almsot always just puts you in TDM, it has really made it harder to find anything that isn't TDM, because many that before made a custom playlist, now just play TDM quickplay because they think it's all there is! I am still playing the game daily, and I hope we come to a point with a bit more players... even the week after BO6 release it was easy to find game unless you were sitting like 2 or 3 am. It is even more recently it has become as bad as everyone has claimed it was for a long time. But I have to say, and please don't take it as too much of a personal attack, but I don't know how to say it without making it seem like one. I have a bit of a hard time taking you too serious.... You were so exited about this game, you made a channel dedicated to it... Xdefiant guides.. right? But never could get around to actually posting a guide. And now when I look at you play, and hear how you "burned yourself out on playing too much" - and while that might be true to some degree... you have 249 damage with LMGs... You probably picked one up once desperate for bullets because you ran out in your gun... besides that, you never even touched LMGs... And the M249 is objectively one of the best guns in the game. How do you burn out on a game, and thing there is too little content, when you haven't touched a complete category of weapons? If you do chose to play more, equip the sawed off when you get it.... that thing is so much fun...

One main thing I like about XDefiant is being able to engage into actual gun battles. I played BO6 and there be times I die instantly and I didn’t even get a shot off. Then get spawned killed. People talk about the bunny hopping in XDefiant being a problem obviously have not endured in CODs finest players abusing the movement system to the point you don’t even see the enemy. XDefiant is way more tamed compared to how insane COD can get with people sweating. One more thing. I’ve played XDefiant on both console and PC, the console port is way more consistent and optimized vs the PC version.

[@franzburisch5280]

I love this game so much. My only problem is that all my friends are not (longer) playing it.

I stopped playing before season 2 started, i tired myself out with grinding the battle pass for season 1 and didn't even complete it. I still like the game and wish it to do well, but i didn't feel like playing ut for a while with all other things happening in my life. If they bring assassins in season 3 like i predicted i will definitely jump into it again for a bit, but i hope the future seasons will bring back some glory so the game doesn't just die.

[@LukeRosdahl]

I played it early on and liked it, but the netcode consistency was miserable. Sometimes I'd kill someone in an appropriate amount of time, and other times I'd dump a half a clip into someone just for them to spin and down me in like 2 bullets. Now it feels muuuch better, and since Overwatch sucks, BO6 sucks, it's for me the best looking and feeling shooter out there right now, and to their credit, it actually does feel really nice now. I'm not concerned about all the extra content and skins and crap, BO6 looks like a clown show with all the nonsense they have now, I'd rather have a solid playable game. I'll be sticking with XD for the time being now and see how it develops.

Either expand me for quicker match making or let me choose what server i want to be on! I'll switch to West Coast late at night if it means quicker match making. Rocket League is a good example of a game that easily lets you choose what servers you want to be on! I cant imagine it being an issue.

Ubisoft is just like Bethesda biting way more off than they can chew. The game was great in the beginning. Then with the cuts and all the shit happening in Ubisoft it’s hard enough to keep a game alive let alone have a very consistent dev team which Ubisoft in all of their games lack. Just not enough to offer, not enough content. Ubisoft is just a dying game company, and I don’t even know how they’re thriving.
