A lot of players have liked what they&apos;ve seen in earlier test sessions, and former Call of Duty creative strategist Robert Bowling described it as &#8220;<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fourzerotwo\/status\/1647330843961221120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legit<\/a>&#8221; and &#8220;a refinement of what Call of Duty was.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Original Modern Warfare and MW2 producer <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PixelsofMark\/status\/1771668347060420853\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mark Rubin<\/a> is also a fan, although to be fair he&apos;s executive producer on XDefiant, so he might be a little biased.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1118px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:160.38%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Pme4u89ioPNoETQ3xa2Uc3\" name=\"rubin.jpg\" alt=\"We have an update coming soon. (probably this coming week) I know we've been silent because to be honest there isn't much to talk about. I know people just want to see the game ship and so do we. I can't wait to ship just so we don't have to talk about ship dates anymore and we can talk about more important stuff like gameplay balancing or new content\/modes\/maps, etc. \ud83e\udd23 Just to be clear we are not just sitting around with the game fixing every last little bug. Nobody launches perfect bug-free games. We do our best but it's just not realistic to think that. We had major technical issues that we found right before we launched that had to be fixed. And that's what the team has been working on. And they are not just minor bug fixes but major infrastructure and full system overhauls. The game remains the same that you played already which we have strived to make as fun as possible which we feel confident about. So aside from questions about launch which I can't talk about, I'm happy to chat about most anything else related to the game. For instance, I can confirm that no push has been made to put SBMM into the game. Our Unranked playlists will still have no SBMM and you will get the variety of gameplay that you see when there isn't SBMM. Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great weekend and thank you all for following XDefiant with so much passion!
