Im 31 and feeling like a teenager again with this game! What a blast
Fast paced, no dumb killstreaks and not 100 doors to open
Feels like the good old cod games

[richhomiiejon]

I’ve come to realize I’m absolute trash at fps

[pricklycats]

I’ve been using EMP grenades for about a week and haven’t gone back. It’s the only counter to abilities

[RareSolstice]

Getting wrapped around corners is the biggest complaint

[philipgore]

Tip #1, don't get old. I am 63 years old, I simply cannot keep up with younger players. There is slow and there is old slow 😁

[YukDuck]

Keep content coming. XD and the dev team feel like a breath of fresh air.

[kingsquabo]

@3:30 talkin bout how its hard to kill multiple enemies while doing exactly that was a subtle flex. i see you my man

[AgentGeo]

Thanks for the tips. I have been getting absolutely wrecked in this game as of late. I started out strong but now its been a struggle.

[zanshin]

After controller and video settings adjusted, it's awesome! Fast pace and rewarding! So much to look forward to as its a new release are the updates, like team deathmatch, new maps and new guns

[ChillOutHarper]

Here is another tip, if you're playing occupy or domination and you're looking to take a hill. Combo your ultimates! If you have a friend who is running phantoms and their ult is ready, save yours till you really need to make a play. Push together, pop your ults and stand in the phantom bubble. Its unbelievably free. Just mind the nades (until we get a trophy system)

[gorillaglue]

I feel like a teleported back to when I was a kid playing arcade style cods. The only genuine complaint I have is the netcode issues

[pricklycats]

I wish they could have a 24/7 version of Arena that would be amazing. Arena, Showtime, and Pueblito are my favorite maps. There’s only a few I actually dislike but like 75% of the maps are either above average or really good

[amigopuerco]

I had to slow down my approach some and it has helped me stay alive more

[REALenvizible]

Echelon is too OP. Intel suit needs a nerf. Maybe change to a UAV instead of a wallhack.

[sideshow]

Thank you for this video. I needed this because some players are too good or maybe cheating, I don't know. But I want to get better and will with some of these tips 😀
A good tip is to aim down sight and place the mag shield further away from you so you can get out of starting point in escort.

[josephturnage]

Subscribed mainly because of how well you articulate yourself.
Good video

[danielblassi]

I’m glad you talked about headshots I’m so sick of hearing people complain and say, “my bullets aren’t registering” and they are shooting someone on the leg while they get shot on the head

[cap.n.krunch]

Lol you said, “sometimes” 3 in 7 words. Impressive 🙏🏽👑

[dannycamacho]

New game. Take a shot every time he says "sometimes" 😂

[luketarplin]

Xdefiant is lit, it’s so fun to play, love the maps
