Base movement varies from character to character, obviously.

If you want to know what the character abilities are, you should use them, they tell you what the abilities are in detail when you use the d-pad.

They don't want people to fall too much in love with their K/D ratio and instead they reward you more for playing the objective, and that's why assists count as eliminations. That's also why the voting system is in place. To promote the team element. At the end of the day though as a FPS, Blizzard should've just included a team deathmatch just so some of the casuals can be filtered out a bit more. I see more people playing the objective in CoD than this

This.

And because of certain support heroes, I almost get pissed when dudes don't push aggressively enough. When you got a Mercy or Symettra on the squad - you better be all about the beef no excuses

I mean... I can actually see them incorporating an attrition style team deathmatch, or even Destiny//Control type of game type. It'd suck but pushing payloads is obviously too much for kids.

edit: i love the mvp voting afterwards. you can tell real quick who's petty lol

and the majority is fukking slow. What part you dont get?

If you want to know what the character abilities are, you should use them, they tell you what the abilities are in detail when you use the d-pad.

And that's time consuming, when all they have to do is show it when you highlight a character. I shouldnt have to play a character to find out what it can do, when they already tell us classes.

and all of that is irrelevant. IF I can see MY elims/deaths/heals etc. Why cant I see my teammates? Only seeing my own would make me MORE likely to fall in love without my stats. :grumpydog:

breh you highlight a character and push a button

And if that's not enough, just hop in target practice for a min lol.

I mean, there are some quips here and there - a lot of people don't realize that D.Va's boosters do damage when you ram into someone, that Pharah's concussive blast does zero damage, Mercy's pistol does percentage based damage, etc

but the basics are still laid out pretty clear

Battleborn is bullshyt. I preordered it, but it was a mistake. I played it for an hour and hated it. Simplistic bullshyt shooter

This should be much better. I don't have time to play the beta (I'm outta town), but Blizzard rarely, if ever, disappoints. I expect to play this heavily (I even bought the collector's edition ). Blizzard is damn near Valve and Naughty Dog status

What's the difference between BB and overwatch

What's the difference between BB and overwatch

I haven't had time to play Overwatch, so we'll see

I have faith in Blizzard though. From what I read, they're similiar games, but Overwatch looks to be better done (at least from the beta impressions)

What's the difference between BB and overwatch

Battleborn may as well be a FPS MOBA, offers a whole PvE side, and has leveling/itemization through each round of gameplay. It aims to offer more. However, its made by the same group responsible for Borderlands so you can absolutely see the heritage there - good and bad.

Overwatch is Blizzard's spin on Team Fortress 2 imo. Its multiplayer focused entirely.

I mean... I do like Battleborn, its a good game. But Overwatch is better. Like I said, Battleborn offers more game modes though so its not like they really should be directly compared too often.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

good mindless fun..won't be paying full price for this but i'll be buying.

 

[Mowgli]

Not coppin this till the roster is doubled if they not gonna have more/upgradeable weapons

 

[GunRanger]

I played so much today I feel sick now



this game reminds me a bit of shadowrun. a great game that got no push




and i'm with mowgli on hoping weapons can be upgraded. maybe if you get a long kill streak or something. or be able to pick up some weapons like unreal/quake. I find it hard to believe they'll just give you one gun + unlimited ammo in the full game

 

[Grand Conde]

Waeapons are never going to be upgraded, deal with it.

[itsyoung!!]

zenyatta is so defenseless tho, he has to be protected like a healer to be effective. if the enemy has a tracer he can get behind you and fukk you before you can do anything

Hes not gonna be a main healer + hes a great defender as well.


In retail version when people actually put viable teams together i expect him to be on every top tier team.

Tracer/genji
Roadhog/reindhart
Mercy/lucio
Zenyatta
Mei/hanzo/dwarf/symmetra/junkrat

Will all be top tier
