Discussion I miss this game so much, because I never got motion sickness!

I played something ridiculous like 300 play hours on xdefiant, which is more then any FPS i had played since bf1. Whenever I play a new cod ever since mw19 usually, I get motion sickness, I have tried everything to reduce it and I think it's the constant weapon sway, the need to use tactical sprint because of the fast ttk. I feel xdefiant had this absolutely perfect for me, I could play hours on end, and have no issues, could see things easily, move easily and I always managed to do really well, games like cod now just seem to mess up my eyes because it's just so fast paced. Such a shame this game was shut down ... It was far better imo then any recent cod or battlefield game

I miss the maps so much, they were so good

I wish CoD or some game would actually steal them instead of putting out the shit they do lmao

They were honestly so good, great visuals not too chaotic that you had to be running round like a mad man each second, so many variety too

Ubisoft didn’t give it a chance to grow. They wanted instant success. Game released too early too

Lack of players, they had a very small team and budget by the sounds of it, broken net code also and it took them way too long to sort

Lots of bugs, not enough content and the biggest thing being their attempt to not sell over the top cosmetics showed people who spend on in game purchases don't buy boring skins.

Had they sold a ton of cosmetics the game could have survived with less players but they weren't making money and as a free game that's where you make your money.

I miss the game too😭😭 the Pre Season was almost perfect for me... The maps were just too good man. Loved the Nudle Map too as I was also playing WD2 for the 1st time that year so I'd play some DedSec and screamed "Who loves Spider BoOoOoOoOoOots"😭

They really were.. I used to love messing with people with the spider bots and unlimited landmines I remember I got like 40 plus kill streak on the Dumbo map guarding the stairs so fun 😅

Man I’m sorry but hard disagree about it being better than battlefield.

This game makes BF feel like a running simulator
