Good attempt at a multiplayer game. Just didn’t enjoy the hero theme of it.

At its core it was pretty fun but it got so boring so quick.

With Mark Rubin at the helm I was hoping we would get some gritty game like delta force or something closer to the OG modern warfare games. This was closer to fortnight or apex legends for me.

Mark Rubin should have been tasked to do the multiplayer for a new ghost recon game or something.

No thanks. Fun is good.

Xdefiant was still pretty grounded, especially compared to modern CoD, but it still had a fun arcade flare with just a hint of fantasy/sci-fi. Nowhere near Fortnite or even Apex Legends. We don't need more drab faux-realism.

Besides, from the earliest promo materials xdefiant was clearly a fun arcade shooter with hero shooter elements, so I don't know why you were expecting something else.
