an FPS Battle Arena game that's exciting to me because I suck at TF2

THE CREED: Nothing is True. Everything is Permitted.
"...That's rather cynical."

"It would be if it were doctrine, but it is merely an observation of the nature of reality.
To say that Nothing is True is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shephards of our own civilization.
To say that Everything is Permitted is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with the consequences, whether glorious...or tragic."
-Ezio Auditore da Firenze explaining the Creed, 1514, Masayaf.

Haven't seen it but Blizzard's new Tea Eff Too sounds great. Hopefully they won't spend 15 years making it.

Officially fell in love with Tracer <3

Also it's good to see Blizzard's good are more stuff than just creating WoW DLC releases.
Expect something cool here soon!

From some of the game-play I've seen beforehand, I can definitely say that I'm looking forward to this new IP.

Based on what I know, the game has had a lot of influence by TF2 as many Blizzard employees hold Valve's shooter with pretty high value. While it does share a lot of that game's elements, Overwatch definitely does a few unique things that make it a bit different from TF2. Another thing which I like is that unlike TF2, each character has a set load-out, but there will still be new play styles in the form of new characters instead of new weapons for existing characters. There's also the ultimate abilities much like a lot of MOBAs have today, but I think this is a first for FPS games, and I think that's really cool.

At the very least, it's not going to be a game like Final Combat.

Definitely picking it up just because it's like TF2. I like TF2. I like a newer and more frequently updated TF2.

Totally butthurt but I just want to say that Hearthstone. And also DLC is not the correct term since it's a full game within itself.

Oh, right, I forgot that it's a giant ♥♥♥ update, not necessarily downloadable content.

Also, I just learned that Hearthstone was made by Blizzard after I made that post. .-.

So has everyone who wants to play this signed up for the Beta? It's quite possible (just rumors and educated guesses, no promises) that as soon as the latest public build is unveiled this weekend at PAX the beta will launch. Don't want to be left out.

So two gameplay videos have been released so far.


Zenyatta looks incredibly fun but I think Mercy looks so fricken cool, and as a medick main I am very happy with this. (she's even german?)

I thought seeing all those enemies flying around everywhere in Zenyatta's gameplay video was amazing as well.

Neat videos. I really like how Mercy can switch between increased damage and healing, as it makes her much more diverse than a standard medic, though I do find it rather odd that she's pretty much a medic who happens to be German as well.

Unfortunately, I got lost during Zenyatta's gameplay video. From what I can understand, he can switch between different orb types? The only one that I truly noticed was the healing orb, though it doesn't seem nearly as effective as Mercy's heal, and the rest didn't make sense to me. However, I do like how he can charge up to 5 orbs to launch at the opponent with good accuracy (take that, Beggar's Bazooka).
