Here is an overview of the game:
Tom Clancy’s XDefiant is a free-to-play, fast-paced, first-person shooter. It combines intense gunplay with personalized loadouts and specialized factions as teams of gunfighters, called Defiants, battle for domination.
Developed by Ubisoft San Francisco, Tom Clancy’s XDefiant features playable factions from the Tom Clancy universe and beyond, each with unique abilities. Pair that with an arsenal of primary and secondary weapons, attachments, and devices to complete your loadout, and go to battle with a variety of maps and modes.
Personalized Playstyle
Personalize your Defiant to match your playstyle. Choose your faction, traits, abilities, and ultras. Select from an arsenal of primary and secondary weapons, attachments, and a device to complete your loadout – then tweak it on the fly to adapt to an ever-changing battlefield.
Competitive Clashes
Tom Clancy’s XDefiant offers a variety of competitive 6v6 arena and linear game modes, such as Domination and Escort. Combine that with a large pool of uniquely designed maps in rotation and no two matches will feel the same.
Diverse Factions of Defiants
Wolves, Outcasts, Cleaners, and Echelon factions battling across iconic locations is just the starting point. We’ll keep adding to our cast of Defiants as the game evolves, drawing on a range of characters and abilities from the Clancy universe and beyond.

You know Tom Clancy is rolling in his grave. TC games were supposed to be all about tactical gameplay. Now it's CoD meets Overwatch :(
I highly doubt it. Tom Clancy love money and during his time he cared little about the games from his franchise. Hell he even used ghostwriters to sell books for the cut so I really doubt he cared.
Great....Tom Clancy's generic something something...just what everyone always wanted.
It means "we put 'XD' in the title"
Oh god, they have as well. That’s just cringeworthy.
Wish Ubisoft could take "Tom Clancy's" out of this bad title, it's insulting.
And out of the completely unfitting game as well.
This has nothing to do with Tom Clancy. Where are the grit and realism inspired by real world operations and scenarios?
This is like spitting on Tom's grave...
This just looks from the outset way outside the typical Tom Clancy branding.
This is just disrespectful towards Tom Clancy. They will shove his name into any garbage now to maximise profit.
Ubisoft hmm wonder how many abusers are involved in the game.
I do not see the point of all the whining. This looks like another class based objective shooter with guns. I mean that's pretty much what the Tom Clancy games have pumped out for decades. If anything its Ubi free to play game which just about every publisher has one now. The question will be, is it fun which cannot be determined until it release. I will give it a shot just like I do every free to play shooter to see if its fun so will reserve an opinion until then.
So you are whinging about whinging then?
That has never been the bedrock of the Tom Clancy franchise. They appear to have tacked on the Tom Clancy brand as they didn’t believe it could stand apart. This game stands way out from the rest of the sub-franchises.
It also looks incredibly generic. There’s nothing standing out from this game that hasn’t been seen in any multiplayer focus FPS in the last decade.
lol, where am I whining. If I was whining I would be bitching. Who cares what it looks like. The point is how does it play which none of you can make a statement on because none of us has played it. My opinion of Tom Clancy name in video games especially now is that its been name only for a long time. What is it about the Division that is realistic. The Tom Clancy name fell off a long time ago.
Where is beyond good and evil 2??
