XDefiant Review
good
The fundamentals of XDefiant are good, but conflicting ideas and mechanics stop it from standing above a crowded shooter field.

Summary
XDefiant is a free-to-play, fast-paced arena shooter that combines intense gunplay with personalized loadouts and specialized factions, as teams of gunfighters -- called Defiants -- battle for domination.

Incredibly fast paced and fun. The maps are really well designed and the gunplay feels real good. Reminds me of classic cod

No skill based match making, constantly playing against full teams where they're all lvl 50 or higher.
Meanwhile everyone on my team are lower levels and each match is just painful.
The mechanics defy all laws of physics. You're opponents will constantly bunny hop and move their character mid air while shooting you.
If you're looking for a game that's just as bad as call of duty then look no further.

XDefiant is fun, especially as it can be downloaded for free.
The developers have been very responsive to the issues the community are having, however the netcode problems are reminiscent of what aided in killing the already small Halo Infinite community.
Dying behind cover should not be a thing. X Defiant is an online multiplayer competitive shooter; any issues with netcode should be resolved as a matter of urgency.
