Overwatch

At least you're still tanking :P

some of us are running Curse Voice, and kinda cool they released a patch yesterday that optimizes for the game.
really less intrusive compared to skype and such, and supports a variety of games.
can make either calls like skype to people, or just make a group and people can hop on/off when they wish.
really handy.

Optimizes the game...???

Discord or bust D:<


wish more people sued in game VOIP tho, think a lot dont know you have to switch it from group to team chat

I never played TF2 for more than like 10 minutes, but it seems very similar. The one match I had there was pushing a cart from place to place and that was what we were doing a lot.

Was there any sort of story somewhere? I was kinda curious why one of the escort missions had a robot arm spinning around in a tube.

Morocco knows that feel lol

I only ever did PvP in TF2 so I'm not really sure lol

there's links to all of the video/comic based lore enrichment material in the OP, most of the story is told thru those. otherwise can read character dossiers and whatnot on the main website. unfortunately they went the way of no in game lore like so many games are doing now, it sucks.

As a Medic main in competitive 6v6 TF2, Overwatch is completely different from TF2 and should not be compared, period.

TF2 is indeed a team based shooter with the same kind of style in terms of game modes and how they're trying to push the Overwatch lore rn, however the games are just...

It's just different. TF2 has more skill based DM while Overwatch is more tactical and I'd have to argue it is a LOT more team based. All heroes have their specific counters. In TF2, sure the classes are built so that not one of them is stronger than the other, but like... the flow of the game is completely different because the only 'ult' is medic's Uber. A scout with good DM, or a Demo who knows how to move well, or a Soldier that can fly can dominate a team in TF2. In this sense, I think TF2 is more of a solo game, while there is teamwork involved, and Overwatch is so much more team based because of the restrictions of the characters. And of course there's also the skills & ults that everyone gets to tip the scales.

In Overwatch... it's really hard to push without your team; sometimes impossible to do solo antics. And even if the games feel faster--TF2 plays a lot faster than Overwatch.

But of course there are similarities. I still compare Pharah to Soldier, Junkrat to Demoman, Torbjoern to Engineer, Mercy to Medic, etc... but in essence I believe these are watered down versions of them. Pharah is not as mobile as Soldier, that's for sure.

But of course it's an opinion. I don't think it's TF3. I think it's its own game. Also I've edited this several times because I'm at work and I'm PROBABLY not making sense on what I'm talking about, so :P

no nono, like the voice hud is optomized for the game so it isnt intrusive, like a couple tiny tabs for settings and mini lighted tabs to see who is talking etc, so it doesnt block important game sections

Awesome, just watched/read that stuff. Also found this:

Super interested in all this considering how little is actually presented in game. I really wish I could say the same for other similar games that released recently lol.

On PS4 using an XIM4 so I can control w/ an Orbweaver and Proteus combo over analog sticks. Im just curious... yall on PC use such too or something even better than that? Im not a PC gamer but I read so much noise over keyboard+mouse superiority advantage over console controlers that I decided that Overwatch was worth blowing money on buying such.

I thought you could only have 3 :< I saw a 3 on the skill and assumed it was the limit.

Picked this game up a few hours ago.

So far all I've done is the training and practiced with pretty much every hero.

I like this a little bit more since it parses and calculates out the stuff from the blizzard site.

I feel like Bastion counters everything

Especially when he gets ON TOP of that *** GOD DAMN BOX BEHIND THE DOOR. HE IS RIGHT THERE GUYS STOP WALKING INTO IT HOLY ***HE KILLED 8 OF US AND WE HAVE A 6 MAN TEAM WHAT THE FLYING ***.

Also Roadhog grapple, I know I said before, takes Bastion out of Turret Mode and into face2face shotgun blast death. Still kinda good info for all toons.

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS?!!

I also deal with Bastion using Pharah. 3 rockets will kill him and if you duck in and out of cover you can do so safely. If no cover, you will probably die, but so will Bastion which will allow your team safe passage.

Tracer can kill him but that is a bit more difficult to do, so I don't try :P

Oh lawd.

triggers me a little bit more than someone calling a CC break a trinket

Yea, that did it for me in BnS too....

the amount of lewd content that's already made of overwatch is disturbing

Yeah I noticed w/ that Bio on Bastion though that they overlooked Roadhog. Roadhog's grapple hook seems to reach long range distance too. That Bastion Bio has both Tracer and Pharah labeled as "Be Cautious" but not Roadhog.
