really excited about this one
may fill the void now that TF2 is going further and further down the tubes
one of my friends at school who got the weekend beta let me play it and it's a lot of fun I have to say. needs a lot of teamwork and competent play to do well, which is a good thing.

it's a class based FPS similar to TF2 but with some good moba elements.
it's in beta right now (an actual good beta) and should come out sometime next spring.

Meh, if you're gonna play a blizzard game, play Sc2. (although, it may be my prejudice against FPSs...)
-
I honestly couldn't care less if it was blizzard
I need an fps to fill the TF2 void... Why would I play an rts

I hardly think Blizzard are going for the same market with this as SC2 or whatever.
Kinda like someone going to buy a Yamaha guitar and someone saying 'come on, if you're getting a Yamaha, get a keyboard, or even a motorcycle!'
-
that being said, this game looks stinkin gooooooooooood. I don't think i've ever been as impressed with a development cycle. They've done everything right. Only way I can see them screwing this up now is if they add paywalls down the road.
its got room for even more diverse playstyles than tf2, I'm sure even rts players could find something they like here. TF2 is already a territorial control game in FPS form, this one is very close. You don't need to be a twich shooting master to be good at overwatch as long as you have good game sense and pick a class that doesnt rely on those skills (ie mercy/reinhardt etc).
-
I'm liking what I'm seeing thus far. The multiple classes, the classes with diverse strategy, the visuals, and the game overall looks really fun to play. I probably won't get this day one, but I feel I might get it sometime later down the road.

Is it just me who wasn't really hyped for overwatch?

ok
can we have some good discussion now please
so which character are you guys most excited to play? I actually really liked zenyatta robot monk guy when I tried it out for a few hours. I sucked at zarya but i really want to play her again too and get good. I really like tanks.
-
You should look into Battleborn, I know a lot of people don't really trust Gearbox but it actually looks decent and people have played it live on stream. There's solo and co-op to go with the competitive modes but it also has gear and a skill tree for every character.
For me I need more than just competitive modes in games and it really does just look like way more content compared to Overwatch, it'll even have more characters at launch. So if you like those kinds of game I recommend keeping an eye on it also I enjoy some games from both Blizzard and Gearbox so not being a fanboy or anything it just seems like more bang for ya buck.

gross

Just added Reier and S_M
-
I'm.... Really looking forward to this game.
-
played like a game of it today but it was really good, fun and nice bright colours mean reacting to things happening is easier than murky fps
like Zenyatta a lot
-
If Blizzard supports it properly this game could have a decent eSports scene. They already have a couple of CS pros and quake/reflex players switching over trying to go pro.
-
I'm really digging the beta.
Just about every character is fun to play and unique
-
I'll try this when I get back from the RW Live event in Manchester.
Just asking, is it at all similar to TF2? And if so, how similar?
-
tf2 with butts?
-

Hm? Manchester? That was like 2 weeks ago :P
It's kinda like TF2 in pacing and the whole objective thing. Bit less cartoony, and instead of different loadouts for each character you just have different characters.

Sounds interesting! And I meant Portsmouth, sorry.
-
I missed this game since the beta. Too fun.
-
Got more time to spend on other characters besides Zenyatta now. Still super fun.
-
Still having trouble getting used to Zenyatta, any general tips? Largely maining Mercy right now, gotta love da support.

Keep back at a range where you can stay alive because your mobility is too awful to handle 1v1s. Ideally pick a large group and stick with them, and keep to using your debuff at long range and harass large enemies. Zenyatta's damage output isn't actually that bad and he's quite accurate but in close 1v1s he's really awful, so stick to those longer ranges. Always keep healing someone and stay in a range where you can support as many different units as possible.

We've got a small group of players on the Garry's Wars discord if anyone is interested playing with GTM members.

HEROES NEVER DIE

Is anyone still playing this? I'm stuck on xbone because my laptop isn't strong enough. I need a few people to play with, I can't keep dealing with the lack of teamwork.
-
pc here sorry bud
OW baffles me on how bad the teamwork is most of the time. And I come from TF2. It's not even that the people are mechanically bad, like they're good shots, they just seem incapable of making intelligent decisions in regards to attacking, defending, pushing, etc.
honestly this video puts it pretty good

PC here also.
I love this game but yeah, it's amazing how a team can lack any form of support and nobody will switch to it. I feel like I'm the only player who actually switches when our team comp is wrong.
-
who needs teamwork when you can get all kills :^)
-
i dont need to with our 3 genji """"""""""mains"""""""""" getting 500 kills per round :^)
-
i don't think it's even always a matter of team comp in technical terms, sometimes people just never realise that sometimes you need some more people on the backline. i play zenyatta and zarya primarily and I am pretty sick of dickhead genjis and hanzos pratting about in the frontline getting nothing done vs a bunch of tanks and then nobody protecting the backline from tracers and so on.
-
check out the goofy soccer update
-
it's pretty playable but yeah looks exactly like rocket league
-
I had fun with lucioball for approximately 30 seconds and just couldn't take any more
Oh, hey, I play this game! Please excuse the dirty sub-rank-50 Reaper player (although I never get to play him because I have to fill for support or tank every game) sitting in the corner atoning for his sins.
-
I didn't get involved with s1 of competitive. I hadn't been playing for long when it came out, and i didn't even hit level 25 until a month or so into the season. I'm somewhere like lvl 44 now and I'm planning on playing season 2. I've spent the last month or so getting well versed with most of the heroes in the game, at least 3 of each class.
-
Bump, I have my PC built now. Been playing OW for a few days now, transition to PC hasn't been that difficult. If anybody wants to add me on battle.net it's Coots#11771. Alternatively, if you see me on discord there's a chance I'm always down to play.

Woop! I'll add you. Time zones may be a problem but we shall see.

I'm on at pretty weird hours, so we'll see.

As a person that rather enjoys playing Lucio, I for one, do not.

I play him if those 2 are taken. He's pretty viable I think.
Team comp: Dva, Winston, Symmetra, Bastion/Torb, Lucio and one more depending if anyone can actually play Sombra well.

I mean he's viable of course, I just hate playing against Winston and Symmetra since the ticklegun and death laser both have autolock on :dumb)

I'm having far too much fun with Custom Servers over on the PTR
