For nearly two decades, Call of Duty has dominated the FPS scene. Not many titles have successfully replicated the COD formula, though many have tried. Despite its headaches like netcode and hit registration, XDefiant has seemingly done that. Providing a 6v6 hero shooter with COD action and customization, Ubisoft\u2019s FPS has created a niche in the FPS scene with millions of players hooked. Since XDefiant arrived, the game\u2019s player base has spent night and day comparing it to COD. One such comparison was how XDefiant has felt like a throwback to COD\u2019s early days. MW3 is popular, sure, but it\u2019s also one of the lowest-reviewing COD games in a long time. Many players aren\u2019t happy with it, although its seasonal content has been well-received. In XDefiant\u2019s subreddit, one player shared how the legendary \u201cone more game\u201d turned into a 6-hour experience. \u201cI kept saying \u2018last game\u2019 and then would play another hour before saying it again now it\u2019s 9 pm\u2026 I have a k\/d of 0.5 but I feel like I\u2019m in early OG cod MW days with how locked in I am.\u201d Another similar post came from a player who straight-up declared XDefiant is \u201cstill better than COD.\u201d Their argument came as a fan who\u2019s tired of skill-based matchmaking, the thorn in COD\u2019s multiplayer side for years now according to many. \u201cI actually think I won\u2019t buy another FPS game unless I know it doesn\u2019t have SBMM. For me, that is the poison in games right now,\u201d they stated before sending massive praise to the development team. XDefiant was dubbed the \u201cCOD-killer\u201d during its development cycle as it intended to drop what\u2019s made Call of Duty so convoluted to some. No SBMM, a simplified attachment system, and the lack of a price of entry are just a few of the changes the title has embraced. As mentioned, there are still plenty of issues to address. Yet, given the infancy of the title, there\u2019s plenty of time to sort them out, and players are excited to have another FPS title that challenges the long-standing series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XDefiant players claim it brings back \u201cOG COD\u201d spirit MW3 doesn\u2019t have UbisoftUbisoft\u2019s FPS title is hitting COD players in the feels, as XDefiant players share it reminds them of the \u201cOG\u201d Call of Duty days.
