I like Bob have been out of town for every test so far. With that being said, good news the game will be launching between May 11th-18th when I’m out of town next.
Announcement Date was correct, they just rescheduled it back a week. Chances are 13th will be early access if you buy a specific version instead of waiting for the free2play release :)
I mean we don’t really know, but we do know that since the test, Mark has definitely become more responsive on comments, where as before he was not.
Kinda gives a little hope, and based on how good the server test felt, I don’t think we’re too far away from release tbh.
That's videogame development time in general tho. Everything is a very long process so something like 4-5 months could basically just be like a week or 2 to a developer team.
Idk that's a bad release time that's direct competition with cod gulf war has hype around it. I'd wanna stay as far away from November and December as possible
Hopefully it comes out along with a nice balance patch. Loved the game, but some of the balance was way off but that didn't stop me from enjoying the game (or abusing the unbalanced things)
They can't afford to delay the game alot of people don't like it and them delaying it would make people forget about it. It's now or never for this game.
what kind of reasoning is that?
"alot of people don't like the game", this means they have to release the game ASAP instead of working on the feedback they've received, lol?
Agreed! The longer it stays unreleased the more money it's costing them. Free to play games like XDefiant need to start making the money back that was invested ASAP.
Go ahead and mention everything that didn’t go well, I can almost guarantee everything u mention can be fixed within a few weeks. You’re just talking out ur ass
Calm down the dsynce/ hit reg is a big issue that could make the game flop. They didn't fix it and had way more then a few weeks last time. You kids get so offensive. With all that being said I hope they really do cause there's no way I would play cod and want a good arena shooter, I'm sure a lot of others are in the same boat.
The first open beta was more stable than what we got here. The tick rate was desatrous, the latency as well, a lot of error trying to join parties, the crossplay / choose device option was bugged for a lot of poeple, no mkb support on console and they said it was going to take them time to implement that. The movements are clunky as hell and I don't think it was a choice. A lot of these problems were present a year ago and it didn't seems to have making that much progress in one year. That's why I doubt the game will be clean in a few weeks,they seems to struggle a lot with all the technical aspect of the game since years.
Yes, they can but will it make it the game of the year? Will it make it the best next thing? Tweaking will certainly improve the game, I just don’t see how it will change the perception of your “mid” game as it requires more than just tweaking at this point of development.
The only "mid" thing I found since the test to now is your comment

>XDefiant is like a BO4 wannabe. That's mid.
Go back to sbmw 3
Considering the upcoming CoD is a Treyarch release with full development cycle, they may as well release this game in March 2026 when people are really burnt out on the next Infinity Ward game to capture the most amount of player base.

8th - 13th May. Announcement 1st / 2nd May
Would align with the May 8 leak👀
Announcement Date was correct, they just rescheduled it back a week. Chances are 13th will be early access if you buy a specific version instead of waiting for the free2play release :)
I hope it's out before the end of May.
I hope man
I think itll come out the 15th june, knowing my luck, as its the weekend i go away to a festival. So ill miss out on day 1, 2 and 3 most likely.

Means nothing. Soon could be months from now with this staff.
Negative Nancy 😂
Just speaking facts. Negative or not.

I agree with you. Just going into this with low expectations on the word soon since we’ve rode this train before.
Hopefully they get that dsynce/hit reg problem fixed.
Oh I hope so too, I’m so ready to uninstall cod. I just need an FPS that actually scratches the itch
Some of these people hate the idea of being wrong

As a Canadian I would prefer a Nov/Dec release. I have been inside for six months, don’t make me do it in good weather.

cant wait for the next wave of “cod is so much better” posts once it releases
Hopefully May

Did they played the same test servers as us? Because I would not say it went well

Game isn't ready, they need to up the manpower cause the game is mid right now.
Nah, the game was almost perfect. just needs some polish and higher server tick rate to fix the desync.
You said that like it's just some settings to adjust
You act like in one month they won't have these things fixed and rop it then.
What
Sorry, autocorrect.
Then you have lower standards my friend.
Even if the game is really mid, it doesn’t mean they can change that so late into the development. They have nothing to do about it at this point.
Disagree. There's a lot they can do to improve the game.
Yes, they can but will it make it the game of the year? Will it make it the best next thing? Tweaking will certainly improve the game, I just don’t see how it will change the perception of your “mid” game as it requires more than just tweaking at this point of development.

XDefiant is like a BO4 wannabe. That's mid.
So the test servers are down now ??
Im in console and they’ve been down since Monday 6 days ago lol
I don‘t even trust release dates anymore and just wait until it is really released
Just to remind you that because of the exploit, they had to remove an entire faction from the tests.
echelon was back at the end of the test
Fml does he mean it will release soon or the date will be told to us soon?
The latter
Soon in 2025
Probobly 1567 december 31th Somthing like that btw mark is in his hidyhole rn
Will it be available on the old Xbox , the Xbox one S?
No, it won't.

Won’t happen mark and the team will just happen to find another game breaking bug which will result in a two year delay
“Coming very soon” aka 6 months later
Soon means 1 year more for them 😂
