Xdefiant Just SLAUGHTERED Call of Duty With No SBMM!

[@JbowenDaMan]

streaming some Xdefiant right now if you wanna hop in! www.twitch.tv/jbowendaman

[@kszytok]

Yesterday I have rage quit xdefiant . But u know why ? Because I was mad at my self I can't keep up . Come back in hour later and keep trying . When I rage quit cod I'm not mad at my self I'm mad at manipulative matchmaking and the madness is 10x bigger . And I'm not often go back anytime soon . This is the difference between organic matchmaking and manipulative matchmaking . Overall I have fun playing it a lot . It's refreshing not being manipulated. Yeah it's stil sweaty and sometimes I got my ass whooped and occasionally I can rage quit but it's only on me and I will always put my shit together and come back and play more

Hey brother I feel the same way, thank you for feeling the same way. As a streamer I feel this way playing xdefiant 😢 @kszytok

[@michaelespeland]

You know what it is! It's the feeling of exhaustion and apathy. After an hour or two on COD, I'm pissed, tired, annoyed and absolutely exhausted. I dont get that feeling on XDefiant. You could argue that its just the honeymoon phase, but this feeling is the same I used to feel on older COD games.

[@xxsamsaucexx3692]

I can't believe I went on a 7 game win streak. That would never be possible on COD. Also props to the dev team showing off those game win streaks at the end of the matches, makes me feel proud that I am still a decent fps player and not constantly going against sweaty players. Never touching another COD game if they contain EOMM, it just morally wrong.

[@JbowenDaMan]

I’ve seen NereoCinema with a 40+ win loss, it’s cool to see the OG matchmaking back!

The one thing that’s made me laugh since Xdefiant’s release is the amount of people cussing the game like they’re been forced to play it. It’s a free game & if it’s not your cup of tea then jog on

[@QueenNala487]

It's called discussing your experience after playing. Get defiantdick out your mouth. Not everyone is going to like what you like.

[@JOEYZ-nq2gn]

The protected class are getting a reality check ...plus the clowns that think no SBMM means they'll be the best in the lobby

[@JbowenDaMan]

There’s a difference between voicing your opinion about a game, and going to every single video about someone enjoying the game and telling them how wrong and stupid they are. Totally fine to not enjoy it, but if the game itself isn’t your cup of tea, there are plenty of other games to enjoy that won’t cause that mental stress. It would be different if you love the franchise and you want to see better out of it. But a lot of people simply just don’t like Xdefiant, they don’t want to see anything improve for it, and they only want to see it burn.

I absolutely love this game. Both ranked and pubs... my gunfights are consistent...non of that engagement optimizing.... and I'm an OG cod player. I'll never play COD again after 20 years.

[@lanserilstorm8414]

I am enjoying being able to see myself get better. The first few hours yesterday i was getting wrecked and at the bottom of the list. Then slowly krept up the leaderboard. Got top of my team once but im typically middle of the board cause nobody seems to play the objective. I play the objective and go like 25 and 35 but the top players got like 50 kills with no objective time

[@colinowttrim3658]

@lanserilstorm8414 like wise. It's not always about KD. It's actually about win/loss. A lot of players treat every game, like its team death match, not realizing they keep losing matches.

[@pricklycatsss]

Yeah in mwiii there’s always the inevitable sense of dread after you have a really good game and you’re waiting for your punishment to begin. There’s always like an ambient anxiety/negative feeling when I play cod with sbmm so the lobbies in this game might as well be AI compared to what I’m used to lol.

[@JbowenDaMan]

EXACTLY 💯

[@nickkampf8870]

I came to this game from playing halo. Halo has tons of literal bots and the SBMM is prolly the worst ive seen, to the point where i get almost half my teams in big team battle being bots. Its not fun.

[@Drewkungfoo]

Yup Call of Duty HAS BEEN KILLING ITSELF FOR 5 YEARS NOW 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lanserilstorm8414]

I think one thing that needs to be addressed is that your kd means nothing in this game. Its about the objective....what im noticing is half the team has 25 kills and like 27 deaths etc. They are playing the objective. The other half has like 40 to 60 kills and very low objective time. And we lose. So mr youtube man. Please teach people how to play. Let them know its not call of duty

[@amilyon553]

It's a team based game. I never played for kd because who cares about kd just nerds. I play to have fun. It's a fn video game nobody getting paid to play these games

[@highdeff17]

Yes, I’m glad this game isn’t just about trying to get a bunch of kills. Battlefield is like that too, where objective and team play is more important than just getting a bunch of kills. That’s what made them different than CoD. CoD players coming over to Battlefield and now this game are the only ones that think kills are the end all be all. That’s a big reason 2042 isn’t great because the teamplay is dead and you have people just hoarding kills and not playing objective, reviving, or resupplying. People are so caught up in K/D that they don’t see it means nothing to derermine if you’re an actual good player/teammate.

[@cerberyn]

kills do matter when it comes to leveling your weapon so you can aquire better attachments. kd does matter because going on streaks gives more xp. it still pays more to go streaking in any game mode than it does to play the actual obj. I don't like it but it's the truth

[@abrahamdelatorre3246]

went from a 0.37 W/L in CoD to a 2.50 in XD. You can already tell the games are randomized and play different types of people and skills

[@Konsfps]

It’s annoying watching people hate on the game especially the COD streamers and KZbinrs the game is good no it won’t kill COD but it will put them on notice to make there game better. I’m loving it, I only want them to put a version of S&D in the game.

[@JbowenDaMan]

It’s even more hilarious how people have come to a conclusion about this game before the devs can even polish it off. Players will give COD, Battlefield, tons of other games months to get better before critiquing. But Xdefiant everyone is only giving 1 day until they form their opinions 🤣

[@scragglie]

played for 8 hours straight yesterday... this game is SO GOOD BRO. i am addicted

[@MrGeo044]

This game is awesome. In cod I couldn’t play more than few games on solo multiplayer bc I was getting in sweat after sweat lobbies. In xdefiant I feel the same vibes as the old cods. An occasional super sweat that destroys the lobby but most of time I compete with the entire lobby and don’t have to grip the controller so hard my fingers feel like they’re going to fall off. I’m so happy this game came out and I’ve been enjoying how balanced it feels. At first I was hesitant on the over watch style abilities but honestly they feel more balanced than the cod perks do right now. You actually hear footsteps in xdefisnt bc you don’t have a ninja option whereas in cod everyone runs covert sneakers bc if u don’t you’ll lose everytime. I hope they keep this game simple and don’t try to add a bunch of weird stuff like a lot games do. Great game!

[@Tronn1881]

I play on Xbox, n as soon as I turned off crossplay the experience was fantastic... The fact that u can have a fair game on a lvl playing field is refreshing, reminds me of the old says before crossplay was a thing, it reminded me of why I fell in love with gaming n fps years ago :)

It was never SBMM.. rather the sweats and cheaters that inundated COD, BF, and all of Multiplayer gaming. Now it has reached Xdefiant and it (for me) is unbearable to even play - its a sweat/hackfest. "I need to get good and quit whinin...". Well, I have over 28 yrs of playing FPS (yes I'm an old fart) and my aiming, shooting, and responses are fine (but not quite as fast as a teen these days). I choose not to play and that is just MY CHOICE. For some it may be the cat's meow, but for me it is pure frustration.

Once you get the hang of the movement and gunplay(which doesnt take long if you come from cod) its probably the best small team shooter out right now. I personally like tarkov arena but thats hyper realistic and most people dont like it

[@codishotwell150]

Thats all cod have to do is no SBMM. Like Xdefiants balanced action arcade special abilities reduced camping. Even Mark Rubin wanted the game to play out like this kill. And playing the objective. Playing random lobbies.

[@silencedmaxim5889]

I played 4 matches, and they were all the same. Horrible losses with worse teammates. The second match was definitely the best, was able to pop off a bit, but it was rigged for failure with 2 teammates leaving mid game. Gonna try again tonight.

[@hammerh2851]

Definitely the best part of xdefiant is the design of its maps. I find it incredible what Ubisoft has achieved using the aesthetics and setting of different franchises. I have never played Watch Dogs, nor Splinter Cell, much less Far Cry, but the creative freedom they get with it gives them a lot of creative freedom. And the layout feels direct and simple while still being entertaining. It's not complicated just for the sake of it. Everything is very well designed and is the main reason why I was playing 5 hours straight the other day. Escort is the best game mode. I am surprised that teamwork and achieving objectives stand out.

What many of the SBMM-supporters seem to not understand is that the lack of SBMM actually can make some of games harder than when the matchmaking is controlled. With no SBMM, you play across the entire skill-spectrum, compared to just being matched into lobbies where it matches your own average skill level. So no, the entire "you just wanna stomp on noobs" is false, as its impossible to only get into bot lobbies

So many COD fanboys just simply want to see this game not succeed because God forbid there be a good alternative to their mediocre FPS title for once. xDefiant has given us players everything we've been asking Activision & the development teams for many years now. No SBMM or EOMM in public playlists, albeit a slow weapon & Battle Pass progression level system but good nonetheless, pretty fun game modes across the board & most importantly, a FUN gaming experience that I actually enjoy playing each & every single time. This game was never meant to be a "Call of Duty killer", but simply a fun & great alternative to that game that will have it's own image & player base. People that don't understand or see that are simply just being petty haters & i'd rather have 30,000 concurrent players that care about this game & it's future than a bunch of whiny Call of Duty players stuck in their sad ways.

I played both games yesterday as well and enjoyed them both, had to get those week 8 challenges done :P My lobbies have not been sweaty in xdefiant but they have been very one sided either my team wins by a lot or we lose by a lot either way almost every match has been a land slide.(there was actually one close match but it didn't feel sweaty it was just close)

Ive been enjoying the game a lot but i do hope they add a search and destroy like game mode

Input based match making option just killed cod for me! No more going against aim assist for me 🙌🏼

I went on 7 win streak day one i could never do that on cod unless in full party even than that is difficult
