THIS IS WHAT NO SBMM LOOKS LIKE (XDEFIANT) 

Imagine getting off work and your wife saying you could play one game then you gotta take over with the kids and then you get spawn trapped in a game by Octane, Scump, and Nadeshot lmao

More xdefiant content please this game is amazing imo the aiming feels nice

This game is so satisfying to pub stomp in

fun tip: Change your in game audio to Japanese (I think it's Japanese) and the announcers go crazy, sounds like you're in an anime lmao

This game has so much potential

I wish i could shoot even half as straight as Octane, jesus christ.

There are a couple quirks to work out.. but this game is so refreshing and fun

Settings and class setup video next Sam??? 🙏

how ppl ment to play with the likes of you in the lobby its a joke , and why all streamers got like 15ping everyone else 3-4 x the ping

Dad strength doesn’t kick in for another couple years. Seth’s right.

A lobby without Snipers ?!! This gotta be a fake video !!

Oof. This is why publishers want SBMM.

Hopefully this game doesn’t die fast like every Ubisoft game 😭

70% of the time I'm having way too much fun (not talking about win or losses) but the other 30 is really frustrating. They need to fix alot of things. The most annoying for me other than hit detection and net code is bugged grenades; I have to press the button twice or thrice to even throw them! Also, even after I bought skins, I still can’t use them they are locked because I haven’t unlocked base skins. like what’s the point of even buying them and supporting them, I thought I don’t have to grind for it if I buy something.

You can counter the heal alt with a sticky+ heads shots. You do damage fast enough that it kills em. Your welcome

It's too bad they lied about never having sbmm

How do you have 200 health? Is that one of the ultras?

its funny because years ago, sbmm didn't matter because soo many players were literally just playing on their tv's, and the same controllers. Now your going up against pc players etc with thousands of dollars worth of equipment, lol. I don't really get too upset playing these days, it's fun, i don't really care if there's sbmm or not....but I guarantee people start complaining about it now haha... i can see why the content creators love it!

Dude, it does have freebase matchmaking up so I 25 on the built-in two player playlist so it doesn’t seem to be working any better than skill base matchmaking works on any other game and you’re all kind of hypocrite because when skill base matchmaking works or if it would work, then you would always be facing a team of players match your skills competition and a good fight The problem is it never works right in any game with never been used that because it’s a complex issue trying to match and then also because players try to circumvent skill base matchmaking because they’re bullies at heart and they just want to if they were actually competitive, they want skill base matchmaking I eat everybody to be exactly the same skill level is a good fight a really good fight when it happens in games like there’s Arena shooters where you get two completely equally match games and it comes down to you know the end of the game before you realize who’s going to win That’s the most fun ever without skill base matchmaking I said a guys that are really good. Can team up join the kill and just destroy a bunch of disorganized new spent don’t know what they’re doing and that’s not fun and it shouldn’t be fun for the guys doing it let alone the guys it’s better having it done to them, not fun at all the best I’ve ever seen in any arena shooter when you get to match games duking it out right to the last second of whatever kind of timer system they got going on

forgive for not knowing this, octane mentioned the new BMTH, is he a full on metalhead or just one of the normal people who got into BMTH cuz they are a massive band nowadays

you should move your camera to center left of the screen below the map so we can see your killstreak, nice gameplay tho 👍🏼🔥

I feel like most people like this game a lot and only complain about hit reg and net code. Once those are fixed this game should be amazing assuming they add tons of content every season

Ever since WW2, Seth and Sam in the same video, always like. I wish they teamed longer but we get them in retirement!!

I love that Sam isn't playing CoD anymore, so he is like "not even going to touch the damn hill anymore!" Lol

Dad strength comes from going outside and doing things with your hands I fear lol

Is he playing flipped? Ive been trying to figure out how to play flipped but i cant

If there is an Xdefiant league, we need a squad of scump, octane, Zoomaa and Zinni

No hate on Sam but the main thing anti sbmm is 'wanting to get on and not sweat' yet I haven't seen a single person go on xdefiant and not make sweat ass content.

Ray gun TTK is crazy yet sniper flinch is the real issue...

255-67 for the boys ain't a bad game!

You love to see it! 💪 about time a game implements no SBMM

Gatekeeping the AK build is crazy. Jk but fr tho post a build because this game is fun as hell. All the weapons to the pistols are fun to use.

What’s the best AR ?

Love the new content boss!!

Pls post acr setup

Felt like a 170 kill game tbh imagine with kill streaks

Do you play claw or paddles?

I need this build wtf

Yeah I need a settings video

KEEP IT UP OCTANE, YOU FREAK🤓

Fine I'll try the AK..

Is that the AK?

game is so sick

Holy Cow!

First

Banger

What’s the class setup ?

on my side it tends to involve me with 40/50 with a 4K/D and my team mates geting 10/20 while dying 50times lol

Theres no way you droped 100 kills and seth still drops a 90 bomb what an absolute slaughter house

Skill-Based Matchmaking (SBMM)ensures that players are paired with others of similar skill levels, aiming for balanced and competitive matches. However, high-skill players often express frustration with SBMM because it means consistently facing equally skilled opponents, which can be challenging and sometimes less enjoyable. On the flip side, without SBMM, these skilled players could be matched against **casual players**, leading to one-sided games where they can easily dominate, which isn't fun for those casual players. The majority of players tend to be more casual, playing intermittently with the primary goal of having a good time and possibly snagging some wins. They're not looking to be overwhelmed by highly skilled opponents, as going 4K-30D in a match isn't a fun experience. In essence, SBMM aims to balance competitiveness with enjoyment, but finding the perfect middle ground is a challenge that continues to spark debate in the gaming community.

The absence of skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) in games like XDefiant highlights the disparity in skill levels among players. This imbalance means that highly skilled players, who often have more time to dedicate to the game-either because it's their job or they have no other obligations-dominate the matches, resulting in an unfair and frustrating experience for casual players. Only those at the top who play daily advocate for the removal of SBMM because it allows them to enjoy a disproportionate amount of success and fun. Having played every Call of Duty title since its inception, I firmly believe that SBMM is essential. It ensures that players of all skill levels have the opportunity to compete in a more balanced environment, enhancing the overall enjoyment and inclusivity of the game. Without SBMM, the majority of players are left disheartened, while only a select few revel in the skewed victories. For a game to be truly enjoyable for everyone, SBMM must be implemented to create a fair and engaging experience for all players.
