Overwatch 2 Sounds Like Full-Priced DLC

While Assault-exclusive maps tend to have a knack for holding some frustrating bottlenecks for attacking teams, this Russian-themed map tends to take the cake as far as its huge defensive advantage. While point A at least gives the attackers a fighting chance with its multiple pathways, the enclosed area around point B requires a strike with military precision to pull off successfu

A high-risk and high-reward tank, Doomfist isn't an easy character to learn, but he sure is fun. Players can take that element of fun and turn Doomfist into a monster, thanks to his fast abilities, which will see him bully other smaller targets like attackers and support. Doomfist can easily get behind targets, using an assortment of slams, punches, and his hand cannon to delete the health of his f


The whole premise of Overwatch 2 is to offer a campaign. It’s not going to reinvent multiplayer, which is already a successful esport and will likely stay the exact same aside from the kind of regular updates we get now. All I want is for Overwatch 2’s campaign to be a blown-up version of Archives, though, as opposed to something that is emphatically single-player or something that incentivizes over-competing. I want it to give you plenty of opportunities to pull off a sick Barrage, but I don’t want Valkyrie or Coalescence to become pointless vs bots with stupid AI. I want there to be actual reasons for choosing to play as Winston instead of Hanzo, or Lucio instead of Tracer. I want maps that allow for the kind of absurd synergy you see in Assault on Volskaya, Egyptian mythology cosmetics as opposed to just arbitrary ult-spamming in the middle of a wave-based minig


Gundam fans have a chance to pilot their own mechs in Gundam Evolution. It is a fast-paced shooter set in the world of the classic anime. The pacing makes for quick matches but allows for enough strategy as your team fights for the


Her ability to use her boosters to fly, a defense matrix to eat up enemy fire, and some ultimate abilities, make her a decent defender, as well as a moderate attacker, with a great way to flank enemies and cause a riot thanks to her health and ability to stay alive once her mech is destro


Yet despite its defensive-focused design, the layout, which yields multiple paths and areas to flank, makes attacking more-than-doable for sharp teams. The fun Warcraft- esque themes throughout, coupled with the variance of areas and overall detail make Eichenwalde an optimal choice to revisit for Overwatch


While we knew that most (if not all) of the original Overwatch maps will appear in Overwatch 2 , it was exciting to hear that Blizzard will be expanding some of those maps. During the Hero Missions segment of the video, Blizzard revealed that Push the Payload maps will have branching paths, meaning the Payload might open up new areas of original Overwatch m


Blizzard briefly mentions elemental abilities and how they affect enemy animations. But these damage types — like "freeze damage" and "electrical damage" — change how enemies behave and how Heroes can attack them. For example: on Reinhardt’s Talent page, Blizzard shows an ability called Icy Pains. It reads: "Charge deals 150% more Pin damage to Frozen enemies and keeps enemies Frozen while they’re Pinn


Considering we could potentially see the addition of a new Omnic hero, Tekhartha Mondatta (speculation which we base off nothing but our own desires), we might as well get the return of the stage in which he's so prominently featured as a statue, Ne


But in online play - specifically, PvP - this isn’t how it works. Unless you’ve got a full six-stack made up of you and your friends, chances are people won’t care much about cooperating. And so, that entire aspect of Overwatch that I love - knowing my main inside out and fulfilling my role in tandem with the characters I’m surrounded by - dissipates into thin


A classic tank pick from day one, D.Va has a range of abilities that make her a solid choice for a team. She is armed with Fusion Cannons, which deal a healthy amount of damage at close and medium range. Whilst it's not the strongest source of damage, it can quickly build up her Self-Destruct ultimate, which will see her detonate her mech like a nuke, almost always ensuring a team kill when well-pla


Throughout the nearly forty-minute showcase, Blizzard shows only up to five players on a team at a time. There’s no explicit statement regarding this choice in presentation, but it could suggest that Overwatch 2 will introduce a team size-adjustment down to five play


If players want to be an utter nuisance to the enemy team, look to Wrecking Ball, a cheeky hamster in a mechanical ball that can roll around the battlefield, distracting enemies, and harboring a large pool of health and shield thanks to the Adaptive Shield ability, which grows his health pool depending on the threat of enemies that are around him. Wrecking Ball is a great choice, and easily distracts foes, but he is going to require practice and a skilled hand, as players can easily leave their team without a tank due to one unfortunate mist
