I wonder will they have a map/gametype with a payload in the middle. Tug of war type thing. Id like that.

I'd like a capture the flag mode too, either one or two flag would be great. Not sure the current maps would lend themselves well to it though.

I cant see them doing that mode with the likes of genji and tracer in it, would be too hard to defend a flag. Maybe down the line when they have introduced alot more classes to the game and they can make classes like tracer un-pick-able.

OR reduce the use of abilites when the flag is in hand, that could work :pac:

Maybe the flag gives off pheromones that makes every lazily stroll along all Zenyatta like

If anyone has any interest in watching competitive pro matches, there's a tournament on at the minute.

Good to see some old FPS names back in OW, such as Cooller.

This game looks sooooooo much faster on PC

It's either that or the Lucios :pac:

I promise you all I'm not trying to start *that* argument, but I am wondering if you genuinely thought there'd be any kind of comparison? Look at any cross-platform FPS game, it's *always* better on PC because of the mouse and keyboard.

No I didn't think there would be a comparision

But I ain't got no friends on PC

I think a lot of it too is just how bloody fast these twitch lads can react and move and stuff. Even if I had this on PC, I wouldn't be able to pull this stuff off

lol, gods help you if you ever watched people playing QuakeWorld from back in the day, not one single game has come close to replicating the speed at which that game allows you to move.

Well I don't mean to brag, but I used to be a pretty dab hand at Timesplitters 2 :cool:

What's the deal with using the likes of XIM4 on PS4?

Is it considered cheating or what? I know it gives players an advantage but am unconvinced about how unfair it is.

I mean you could say that playing on a PC monitor or with a slightly modified controller or having a perfect connection at all times gives an advantage too, but you'd hardly call it an unfair advantage.

Is it unfair if everyone is free to do the same?

Don't have one myself but have often considered getting it to try out on games such as this.

Shiminay

Good man, the world needs people with Twitch reflexes :P

As a total aside, someone once told me that console people that were top tier FPS players were best suited to highly specialised surgery careers because of the precision and dexterity they've built in their digits by using a controller as well as their obvious hand/eye coordination advantages. Make of that what you will

I'd imagine one of those keyboard pass-through things isn't really cheating unless you'd consider a bike racing team with carbon bikes versus everyone else's steel frame cheating too (I don't). It's all about having the right/best tool for the job. You'd have to ban people with XBox Elite controllers too if you're doing that, the advantage to using it is clear over a "standard" controller. No one bans fighting games people for their €500 arcade sticks instead of a controller.

I'd be seriously tempted to get a KBM adapter for PS4

Apparently the Olympic skins are in dedicated loot boxes. You can't buy them with in-game currency.

I believe they call that a cúnt's trick.

What do you mean by dedicated loot boxes?

I had narrowed it down to two very well reviewed ones the last time I checked, I'll try remember the names. Actually, there are a lot of complaints about the aiming in Overwatch anyway that they wouldn't fix. I remember watching a video, something about ir being more square than circular?

The skins are only in loot boxes.

I thought they'd be added to the character screens and you could buy them with the game currency but you can't.

Overwatch: Rocket League looks like fun.

Man, I hope they paid Rocket League Psyonix for that...

So is lucioball any good?

Played one game. Rocket League has nothing to worry about.

Hit detection on the ball is fairly crap.

Only played 1 game of it. It's fun but I'd say it'll get old real fast.

I'm not sure if they plan on having that as the brawl for the next 3 weeks but I hope not

DeSelby83

Hopefully thats not the only way to earn the new loot boxes

Nah, all loot boxes are 'summer games' ones for the duration

Stormhawk88

Loot boxes seem to have a slightly better drop rate opened 2 there and got skins in both and only 1 duplicate so better than normal for me.

Got a Zarya already.

I don't play Zarya
