I suppose it helps a little bit that tom waits is hilarious in addition to being an absolute fucking god.

I am vindicated!

EDIT:

Is that actually an fps moba? all I ever remember hearing about that game was that it was some shitty pay-to-win fps made by the same guys who made HoN? Correct me if I'm wrong, I have no actual idea.

wut

EDIT:nvm

I think the big problem that these games run in to is that they are made by companies that set their sights too high, in that like you said, you have two genre's of game to balance not only in their own right, but in tandem with taking account for the other. If you asked me what company could pull off a game of this scope that demands so much in all of its aspects, my answer would indeed be blizzard, however lets not forget that when they up the anti that blizzard can fail too (dark souls 3). I'm certainly not writing the game off as a failure before its even playable by the general public, and there are going to be elements of any game that just don't translate effectively through videos created with the primary purpose of generating hype, and obviously I am anticipating playing the game and really do want it to be good, but all I'm saying is that the content that they have released does more to worry me than it does to get me hyped, and that's not a good sign :/

just like smnc and battleborn, the two games so far to actually commit to being fps moba's. too bad smnc ended up sucking and dying, and battleborn, despite being developed by gearbox, from what they have presented so far it looks like they may have trapped themselves in to a bad game. I'm hoping overwatch becomes the first fps moba that doesn't suck, but so far the only thing I can say is that they're doing a better job hyping the game, and hyping the game won't help if the game is bad.

I can't be the only one who is reminded of Super Monday Night Combat when I see this game right? Same art style, a lot of the same mechanical choices, the hud is once again a clusterfuck, and the map design feels almost like blizzard just hired uber's map devs that got laid off and told them to continue where they left off. I'm not sure how many people have even heard of SMNC, and in regards to the company that made that game, all the people asked said that all they remember about them is that they made some ridiculous 100 dollar rts that nobody bought because of the price (planetary annihilation). This gameplay trailer along with all the other overwatch stuff I've seen just worries me because as much as I would love this game to be good (and hopefully more balanced than SMNC), I've seen nothing to make me believe that this game won't go down the shitter the same way smnc did except for the fact that blizzard's name is attached to this one, which I'm still not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.
-My 2 cents

Does anyone still play this game? DOS and Hitler have been ruling US east for days now...

Can't believe no one mentioned chrono trigger D: CT and FF tactics are both incredible.

I can literally walk to where you live soap :D

Also, side-note, once you fill out the form, how long does it typically take for your name to show up on the map?

okieeeeeeeee

The only issue I can see thus far would be that while the gamemode would naturally encourage aggressive play, it pretty much takes away the option of sacking for a pick class as the pushing team, since by the time you respawn the enemy timer would probably either have already counted down or be on the verge of doing so, and suddenly that pick class that you sacked for becomes a liability on the defense unless you sacked for a defensive class in the first place, which in turn makes pushing harder. While I'm all for naturally aggressive gameplay, I don't feel that taking away a fairly successful method of initiating a push is the way to go. Perhaps extending the timer to something along the lines of like 1 1/2 to 2 minutes would allow for this option as well, as long as teams make this the decision for their strategy quick enough? Not sure on how this would affect the speed or flow of the gamemode in general. Overall though, this gamemode certainly seems really interesting in concept, and if someone could figure it out, I would love to see it in action.
