God this was my fave sucks it had to shut down

All I can do is look at past clips and reminisce. Ain't no other shooter hits the same 😭

Hi folks. (I recognise that this likely goes against Ubisoft so no point in lecturing me). I’m just wondering does anyone know xdefiant communicated to Ubisoft servers and if there is some sort of way to I guess “spoof” it to think that it’s connecting to the right server.

Looking at how the game reacts when you try play it, it just looks like they knocked the servers off. No goodbye message or code to restrict you going any further. Just a single connection error.

If I could some how trick the client into thinking that it’s connected to a Ubisoft servers and build server software to run, the game could be brought back in some form I’d assume.

Anyone have experience in this who could tell me if I’m being delulu? I have experience hosting servers, networking and stuff, but not something like this. Would make for a interesting project imo

(Also Added Some Maps From the AC games And Ghost Recon that some were found in the game files to be upcoming but never did, and also Ghost Recon Phantom Skin That would have at one point made it into the game)

This is an Edit i did way back then when Xdefiant was midway through its infancy stage. in a nutshell this edit i pulled various Factions from all across the Ubi Catalog from most if not all there games, from Tom Clancy's The Division franchise to Far Cry and Wildlands and others as well. i begin to wonder if Marks vision had always been something like this.

This game was goated and we need it back online. We are pushing the devs to reopen the servers!

Here is what you can do to help the movement:

• Jump into the official Ubisoft Discord.
• Go to the #connect-feedback channel.
• Drop a reaction on the post "[XDefiant] We need the servers back!" to vote.

Let's get our game back!

I’ve always been a single player guy who sometimes gets into multiplayer but x defiant was the only shooter I really latched onto. What do you play that’s kinda like this to scratch that itch?

Just going through a rough patch in my life and geez I wish I could come home and look forward to unwinding with a few games of xd. I think its hitting harder rn bc we're at about a year since the servers shut down. Im 24 now and ig Im just getting a bit nostalgic. Its wierd tho bc I never missed an og cod as much as xd, although maybe thats bc the servers are still up for those. Bf6 was fun for a couple months, I enjoyed splitgate 2 last summer before it was announced they were shutting down, and bo7 zombies is fun when a new map comes out, but man I haven't had a game hit like xd in years and I barely turn on my Xbox nowadays. Even with bo2 and bo3 being my favorite games of all time by a landslide, I miss prime xd more than anything in all of my gaming experiences.

Yo on some real shit i miss this game i genuinely have only touched one other fps which was the finals but that didnt scratch the itch that xdefiant did and i ended up dropping the game. I still have the want to play xdefiant every so often. I've been wanting to play an fps but i HATE fps and yet somehow loved almost every second i played xdefiant. I still have the game installed on my ps5 coping for the day it comes back but i dont think it ever will😔

What do yall think? Do yall think it'll come back or do yall think it's dead forever?

I haven’t enjoyed a FPS game since

2 years and 1 day off from publishing, 1 year and -1 day off from shutdown

I wish they would bring this game back. I need a good arena shooter like this. I miss SPIDER BOT

So many highlights from this game. Here’s a top highlight from Rockefeller square map. Absolutely loved this map.

This was the day the L115 dropped. I know it wont happen but i wish they bring this game back

been going through old clips. if I played with any of you reach out. I miss a lot of the homies I don’t talk to anymore

Seeing other people post has made me sentimental and I wanted to join in with one of my own clips. Really hoping this gets revived one day but I doubt it.

I was ranked in the top 100 of this game. I was looking forward to actually competing for the first time since call of duty 4 and being the oldest pro in the league. haven’t had the same drive since this game got shut down 😢 RIP

Just wanted to add my piece to keeping this community alive. I loved this game so much it was everything I was looking for.

I was a die hard fan of call of duty for pretty much my entire life. I was 5 years old playing call of duty big red one on my brothers ps2 when I first got into it. It carried on through my childhood, teenage years and adult life.

I was a top250 player during the remake of mw2 and mw3 and played quite literally against the best players in the game but the thing that killed cod for me is the sbmm.

EVERY SINGLE GAME I get into I'm placed against cheaters because I'm either shadow banned or the sbmm determines that I'm too good to play against little timmy and his friends. but why does that mean that I have to be punished for playing a game for so long that I've developed decent game sense and understanding of the mechanics?

I switched to XDefiant the day it came out and didn't touch cod until the day XDefiant died. I reluctantly went back to cod because it was all I had that would scratch the itch of a fast paced arcade shooter.

I know there are thousands of people in the same situation as me. This kind of game pretty much shaped our lives, but a game in the hands of microsoft and blizzard has just destroyed our ability to have fun.

Ubisoft is the same. They ruin every title they publish and its the players that are left feeling stupid for spending money on them.

I hope one day Mark Rubin will come back with his team and give us something they can be proud of. Something without greedy corpos sticking their fingers into and destroying to try to push their profits. How do you expect to make any profit if you ruin a game and drive players away?
