OUT NOW XDefiant: Season 2

Turned to the aim sensitivity just a bit

Much better

Gotta tweak it just a lil bit more but now I have a chance to win gun battles
 
What's wild to me are the people complaining about the spider bot but not the snipers playing as echelon faction
 
Patch dropped the other day.

This game has until S2 to convince me to stay on as an active player or I might be giving black ops a run when it drops

I hated snipers on COD but the sniping on this game is beyond frustrating. I'm glad you can't go prone but sniping shouldn't be as easy as using assault or SMG weapons.

And this is a criticism for all fps games but they have to make xp matter more in objective based modes. Dudes are just sitting in the back of the map sniping and end up with more points at the end of the match cause they have more kills vs points for capturing, defending, etc..
 
Another patch dropped today

It's not looking good for this game

Might not even make it to the cod release date

Report: Ubisoft's Once-Popular FPS Is Running Out Of Time

XDefiant launched to big player numbers, but now its devs are struggling to keep players around

Ubisoft’s big Call of Duty-like FPS, XDefiant, might only have until Season 3 to turn things around, increase its player count, and start making more money or the publisher could end post-launch updates and effectively kill the FPS.

Developed by Ubisoft San Francisco, XDefiant finally launched in May for consoles and PC following numerous delays and a well-received beta. Ubisoft’s Call of Duty-like free-to-play shooter came out of the gate with big player numbers, good reviews, and a solid amount of content. I really enjoyed the game as it provided me with a fast-paced arena shooter, but didn’t take up 200 GB of space on my console. But now, a few months later, XDefiant is reportedly bleeding players and Ubisoft has set a deadline for things to improve or it could be over the shooter.

On August 30, Insider Gaming reported that Ubisoft execs had started to sour on XDefiant. At first, the publisher praised the game’s success and revenue, but now it reportedly isn’t happy with the shrinking playerbase and profits. According to Insider Gaming, XDefiant has until season 3, which is likely to arrive in November, to improve things or Ubisoft will stop supporting the game with updates and new content.

It’s reported that the game has been struggling to reach 20,000 concurrent players across all platforms. Another source told Insider Gaming that Ubisoft “would probably be happy” with that number, which seems to imply that the current number of players is even lower.

Due to the low player count and Ubisoft’s deadlines and concerns, some within Ubisoft San Fran are worried about layoffs. The publisher already laid off some San Fran employees earlier this month.

Kotaku has contacted Ubisoft about the report.

Some staff blamed the leaders of the studio for not taking responsibility and working to improve the company’s workplace culture. As previously reported by Insider Gaming in March, some employees claimed that a small group of people at the studio—known as “The Boys Club”—were making bad decisions, giving certain friends more power, and treating employees poorly. It’s suggested that this group led to the game being delayed multiple times.

The plan now is to focus on Season 3 in the hopes of turning things around for XDefiant. However, Season 3 will be landing around the time Black Ops 6 hits consoles and PC. Sources told the outlet that they aren’t feeling too good about the game or the studio’s future.

One source reportedly said: “Expect more Ubisoft San Fran layoff headlines within six months.”

I think they were super ambitious and didn't do a proper beta test

There are still major hit detection issues and people being able to fire around or rather through corners when you run for cover
 
Played a few matches this evening

They got enough juice to last at least to S3. A lot of community complaints have been addressed

I might stop being a vagina and play ranked 😬
