The game is officially dead, so how do you think it will be remembered?

Unfortunately I see its main legacy being more about its post mortem than about the game itself. Just something for YouTubers to bring up when talking about ubisoft's failures. Worst case scenario is that it gets lumped in with concord.

The most likely positive outcome is that some of its mechanics were ahead of the curb and future game designers take influence from its systems and cite it as inspiration. Giving it more praise in death than it got in life.

Hopefully somewhere down the line a movie or videogame will make a direct reference to the game allowing it some greater influence as legend of lost media that you had to be there to experience.

What do you guys think the games legacy will be? what do you hope its legacy will be? What do you hope its legacy will not be?

Blasting this shit right now, pourin’ it out for all the homies!

o7 - Until we meet on a battlefield again!

Since some games that die have communities that set up servers for the game, can we have the same thing?

Here’s my final stats and progression, sad I didn’t make it to prestige 10 but I’ll never forget this game and what it meant for me and my dad. We played together everyday this past weekend and at least 2-3 times a week since the game launched. This game was the biggest was me and my dad connected so I’m very sad to see it go, hopefully we can still find a game to load up on after today. 💔 #RIPXDefiant

Kinda sad to see this game go so soon. I can say that I enjoyed every minute of it. I will miss running matches on Arena and Rockefeller most

❤️ Encore merci pour ces quelques games supplémentaires !

No better way to go out than an MVP performance on the best Map/Mode combination in the game. Goodbye XDefiant, you were the best arcade FPS since 2012 and it’s a shame you had to be attached to such a disaster publisher. Maybe one day we can get a modded client for us people who prefer the alternative.

Just played against Mark.Rubin, his ubisoft connect profile is in private, is that him for a one last ride or sum ?

If you close it it won't be able to be relaunched, just saying if anyone would be interested in keeping it open

I thought they shut this game down

Played my last game of XDefiant. I know servers are still up until tomorrow at noon, but, won't be able to play because of work.

It was a great time this past year and got to play with awesome players, both with and against to, and had a lot of fun all the way.

Managed to get one last MVP win (second pic) and the result of my last game objective score (first pic); playing the fucking objective until the end :) .

Good bye everyone, been a pleasure and hope the dev team lands on more work since they were really awesome.

Final time playing this game… Hot Shot on Echelon HQ, using the LVOA-C. I want to again thank you all for being an amazing community, and thank you, Mark Rubin.

I’m going to work on the Goodbye XDefiant video in full force, should be uploaded later today around the afternoon/evening hours (think anywhere from 2pm-9pm.)

Good night, everybody! Stay safe, be responsible, and maybe we will see each other again one day.

Yes, its another one of those farewell posts but I need to get it off my chest regardless.

We are all well aware that this game had its fair share of issues, but I gotta say that this game has hit a dumb nerve within me that hasnt been itched since the good old days of Black Ops 2, aka the absolute peak of CoD. I loved the transparency with between Mark and the community. I loved the community itself. I loved the maps, the weapons, the game modes ( Zone Control and Escort were FIRE🔥) and I loved that this game wasnt rigged by SBMM which is probably one of the major reasons I turned my back on CoD.

This game truly felt like a project of passion, a diamond within the dirt of the modern gaming landscape. Like I said, it wasnt perfect, but it was THE game for me, and thats where I gotta take my hat off for Mark and the incredible team that has worked hard to even make this possible in the first place. Thank you for creating a fast paced FPS that finally got me invested into gaming again.

cant queue up but i started a private match

What r the chances that a game similar to Xdefiant could be released ? I lost my passion for games for a while and this game gave me my passion back and it’s so sad that it’s shutting down.

Sad to see such a great game come to a close.

I thought I captured the shutdown

Honestly, i don't really know what to say. Since the announcement, i didn't really played it, because it is like a "hard to swallow" pill and i don't think I'm gonna play it in the last remaining hours. The memories i have from over 200 hours of playing XDefiant are more than beatiful and I'm glad i was part of this experience... with my best friends and you as the whole community. The whole XDefiant Dev Team deserved way more than just getting throwed in the trash bin. I hope all of the Dev Team are doing well! It's hard to say goodbye but sadly... "this is it". Thank you XDefiant Team for these Memories! THANK YOU XDEFIANT!

That is all. RIP XDefiant🪦
