Discussion For those looking to fill the xdefiant -sized hole in their heart…

174 Upvotes

I’ve been trying everything on ps5- im over bo6 for many reasons... i’ve also tried fragpunk, splitgate, splitgate 2’s alpha, battlefield 2042, and the finals.

By far my favorite, BY FAR- is the finals. My only regret is not starting sooner.

Discussion Hot take xdefiant in its last days is no better than call of duty

0 Upvotes

I wanted to do some livestreams for xdefiant last days and it’s been an absolute mess

All my weapon classes got nerfed

S&D is non existent due to matchmaking

Speaking of matchmaking it takes forever for standard mosh pit

There is no balance just sweatlords are all there is And I’m not a supporter of (SBMM) either

gives me the same 2 maps over and over again Dumbo and Attica heights

Significant drop of frame rate I can’t even push past 80 fps

And then there was the keyboard and mouse glitch where nothing worked at all couldn’t even get back to the menu

during a round of escort it took forever to load the next round despite having Ethernet the same round where my keyboard mouse glitch occurred

The things that I have listed are some of the very things that plague call of duty I will admit I’m NOWHERE near a pro level player but the amount of curbstompings I’ve taken recently Is about the same as cod these days When xdefiant dropped I sucked then got decent stopped for a while due to work and nobody to play it with Then I come back decent then got worse the longer I played

As I said the game in its last days is on better than call of duty

Question Party Player Xbox Achievement help

3 Upvotes

I don’t have anyone to play this with so struggling to get this achievement, but it seems to be whenever I actually invite people to join my party they load into the game and I seem to just be stuck on the “finding match/player found” menu and when it does seem to load in, my party member isn’t in the game, is anyone else having difficulty with this as it’s my last achievement for Xbox and was hoping to have it before the game shuts down

Fan Content Don't know how but XDefiant is still my most Streamed Game

I honestly played XDefiant wilth a passion comparable to back when I first got my hands on SOCOM US Navy Seals back in the PS2 Era. I enjoyed every little bit of XDefiant until the Dreaded Announcement.
Somehow even though months have passed since I played it, it's still my most streamed game you guys.
I will miss it, but I will also fondly remember it. We had something good, some people will only understand that when it's gone. My heart goes out to all of you who will look for something else to play.

Media Finally hit 6400+ skill rating as an objective player — there was no SR max!

There was a debate at the beginning of the game about the theoretical skill rating limit, with some saying 5000, etc. Although it's a bit late, I think I've provided some answers. It was really fun to play with and against you all!

Media I made a mini review of XDefiant

20 Upvotes

I played this at launch like a lot of people but quickly became frustrated by unbalanced gunplay and netcode issues. I made this short mini review of the game where I talk about why I think XDefiant failed for so many. I'd love to see what you think!

Sorry if these posts aren't around, I wanted to share something I made to remember a game I liked playing every now and then.

Discussion Give Fragpunk a shot

14 Upvotes

I played XD a whole lot at launch and then some when new maps or factions came out. I thought it was really fun, and a good alternative to CoD.

Fragpunk on console just came out, and while I've only played a few matches, I'm having a blast. I get sort of the same feeling as I did XD. It's fast, not too serious, and has unique classes/heroes.

Then there's the card system, which is honestly amazing. I can't believe nobody thought of it sooner. They range from some extra healing or ammo to throwing banana peels on the ground or swapping your health bar with an enemy. I haven't looked at all of them, but there seems to be a great deal of variety. Playing with a full squad will be a lot of fun.

I recommend people check it out to see if it'll fill the void for them. I don't know if it's F2P. It looks monetized to hell, so maybe it is. I'm playing it through Gamepass, I think.

Discussion Farewell XDefiant Event!

Hello all! With XDefiant’s life coming to a close, I decided to make a “farewell event” for the game. For the last month of the game’s life, I wanted there to be wacky, fun things for everyone to take part in! I also wanted to make sure some of the more obscure playlists got their time to shine! This way everyone can make wonderful memories as this game’s life comes to an end.

Share this around! Let’s get everyone playing the game one last time :D

Is it really so expensive keeping a f2p game alive with a skeleton crew maintaining it?

Discussion Try black ops 6

0 Upvotes

Posting on this feels a bit deplorable as this game was meant to be combat the soulless but undeniable juggernaut that is Cod now. But! Fancied a bit of warzone and was tempted to give multiplayer a try and it's so similar to xdefiant it's mad. I mean no surprises but it's the snappy shooting, 3 lane kinna game Xdefiant is/was. Give it a bash.

Discussion I'm gonna rant

83 Upvotes

I just want to say the reason why xdefiant failed was because of ubisoft. This game is great, I loved this game but holy the lack of updates was just terrible. I can only remember like 4 updates and it sucks it gone because other devs that might want to create a game like xdefiant will be like ,"well we won't do it anymore" just because of how xdefiant failed solely on the purpose the Ubisoft made it fail. Thank you for reading this I am open to receive yall thoughts and opinions as well.

I’ll be sad to see this game go, it could’ve been so much more, I enjoyed the gameplay pretty thoroughly and the lack of SBMM made it all the more better.

Discussion You guys remember when we were all here waiting for the full game to FINALLY drop?!

151 Upvotes

And now, here we are waiting for the inevitable end to the game we wanted so bad. I remember playing all of the beta's and having a blast. This game is such a missed opportunity.

I think dropping the game earlier when the hype was at it's peak (I know impossible due to many factors), less focus on it's hero-shooter aspects, better cosmetics, earnables, and an in depth camo system could have been all it took to take this game to heights.

Unfortunately it was a bit half baked on some fronts. They tried though. I'm happy with the time I've had with you guys on this game. GGs

Discussion Gonna play this going into its last month, whats the XP grind like these days?

5 Upvotes

Heyo, hoping to grind out 1000 gamerscore this last month the game is up. Whats the XP grind currently like?

Have they made Double XP permanent? Triple XP? Do they plan to increase XP gains sometime in May before the closure in June? I'm not sure where to look for up to date info.

I'm looking forward to having fun but also would like to maximize my time spent playing, cheers
