Ubisoft's XDefiant (F2P FPS): Officially Launched

Tuesday, May 21st Official Launch Date
Ubisoft's XDefiant - what is it?
XDefiant is a free-to-play, 6v6 arena FPS, featuring playable character classes pulled from factions across Ubisoft franchises. If you watch any amount of gameplay, you'll notice XDefiant plays a hell of a lot like Call of Duty multiplayer. It has the same speed, a similar time-to-kill, flat-ish maps with limited verticality, and customizable loadouts. It's got a similar set of objective-based gamemodes, too.
Platforms: Windows PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, XBox Series S/X, Google Stadia and Amazon Luna.
Cross Platform: Yes, on launch. (but matchmaking heavily favors same platform lobbies)
Cross Progression: Yes, coming soon after launch.
Maps: 14 on launch. (old school 3 lane design)
Game Modes: TDM, Domination, HardPoint, Kill Confirmed, and Escort.
Killstreaks: Nope.
Ranked/Unranked Modes: Yes, soon after launch
Prestige System: Yes, classic prestige system.
SBMM: Nope, sorry newbs.
Single player campaign: frick no.
Battle Royal mode: frick no. (this isn't the game for you)
Guns: 24 in total
Assault Rifles: M4A1, AK-47, M16A4, ACR 6.8
SMGs: MP5A2, Vector .45 ACP, P90, MP7
Shotguns: M870, Double Barrel, AA-12
LMGs: M249, RPK-74, M60
Marksman Rifles: MK 20 SSR, SVD
Sniper Rifles: M44, TAC-50
Pistols: M9, 686 Magnum, M1911, D50, 93R
Yes, there's gun customization too. Appears there are currently around 44 gun attachments.
Looking forward to this. The XDefiant Devs have really come a long way with this one. They've flipped the script compared to most triple AAA titles these days by collecting feedback and listening to their community after many delays and betas. Instead of just dropping a broken game, full of micro-transactions and bugs. Wild concept these days.
Ohh, almost forgot: #LeaveLittleChildrenAlone. Sorry, not sorry COD fanbois

I'll give it a shot in the open beta period. It still looks like Fortnite cartoon bullshite, so I doubt it's for me.

I can't preload it. I downloaded ubisoft launcher and can find xdefiant but it won't do anything

I mean, this kind of game seems targeted more to the Overwatch crowd than CoD.
That said, I fully expect this to be another game that is hyped for like 1 week then slowly fades into oblivion much like Ubisoft's attempt at the BR genre.

i'll give it a shot. i think one of the main problems are "arena shooters" in general. it's a played out genre. but how do you revise it and make it fresh?

Just played for about 1.5-2 hours and got to level 11.
Escort and Hot Shot are my two favorite modes.
It’s a pretty refreshing change up from COD. The slide jump feels good, ads shooting feels a tad stiff (but will tinker with that).
Some of the hit reg is off, but I do like the health meter on opponents. Will play some more later.
I had great servers the entire time.
