Read More »KitGuru Games: Call of Duty is More Innovative Than You Know
We often see many writing off Call of Duty each year, claiming that each new entry is somehow worse than the last, only for them to be critically re-examined years down the line. For instance, after having the most disliked trailer upon its initial reveal, many now praise Infinite Warfare for its fresh take on the franchise. This isn't new though, in fact, Call of Duty has been more innovative in the shooter space than any other shooter in the past decade.

With the most recent COD safely in its mid-life cycle, the launch of xDefiant comes perhaps at the perfect time to try and steal as many eyes away from Call of Duty as possible. While in many ways, xDefiant is indeed competing in the same space as COD gameplay-wise, one might argue that Ubisoft’s efforts have resulted in a product which feels as though it was designed to compete with Modern Warfare 3 (2011), not Modern Warfare III (2023) – and that’s not necessarily a bad thing...
