RE: XDefiant has a map inspired by Googleplex

This gives me huge Black Ops 2 vibes (the one I played the most with friends on Xbox 360 alongside MW1); not just the presentation and gameplay style but also the Googleplex map reminding me of a certain map there that looked like a futuristic mall too.
It might get a fair share of attention from this free beta test, but I'd say that it might only keep that momentum from it being fresh new if it does end up releasing as a free-to-play game without insiduous microtranscations for pay-2-win mechanics (dreaming is free I guess) or at least has some good meat to the bone that ends up being its price tag.
Nice that you can try it out though! Seems surprisingly stable but hopefully it doesn't get Ubisoft'd later down the ine.
It definitely feels like a modern version of the older Black Ops games that we all remember and miss so much.
So far things seem to be going well, but Ubisoft has messed up good games before. I have faith in Mark Rubin (ex-Executive Producer at COD) and now with Ubisoft San Fran. The promise is no pay-to-win or sbmm. Supposed to be camo challenges and a prestige mode too. Sounds too good to be true, but I will keep believing until otherwise is proven by a terrible update. Fingers crossed it just keeps sailing smoothly.
