Preview: 'XDefiant' blends 'Call of Duty' action with elements of 'Overwatch'


For a Closed Beta, 'XDefiant' had a surprising amount of polish. The gunplay and movement were smooth. Players could switch Factions while respawning and pick the role most needed. — Screengrab from YouTube

For a long time, Activision has dominated the online shooter space with Call of Duty. It’s consistently among the top-selling games, and it’s synonymous with a certain style of combat. Players run around enclosed arenas, fragging each other, trying to win a match and improve their KDR.

With Call of Duty sucking so much oxygen in the genre, is there room for another fast-paced military shooter? Ubisoft think so and it’s taking a different tack for the project by creating a high-quality, free-to-play first-person shooter.
