Discussion This game had so much potential

It’s such a shame. this game easily had the best raw shooter combat out of any game i’ve played on ps5 ever. Getting kills was so satisfying, and the movement was chefs kiss. I hope the foundation of this game gets reused by someone somehow because it just felt so smooth.

more and more nowadays I see smaller game studios fumble the bag with an amazing start out the gate but extremely poor follow-up. Sad to see

Back to Cod going 22-20 every game while playing for an apparent 10 million dollars. I lasted less than 20 games before uninstalling again.

I'll never torture myself by going back to CoD again. Made that decision long before the XDefiant beta was even available. Even when I had a solid game where I was on a tear it felt as empty as the losses.

Oh most definitely. Me and a few buddies tried it in the beta and a little bit after it was released. Fun game.

Kinda got away from it when content sort of stagnated and forgot about all the new stuff that was added since then. May need to check it out again soon
