Because you think that's what a game requires, or because that's what the player base of THIS game requires (IE: not great gamers)?
because having more variety will appeal to more people overall? i'm personally just butthurt there isn't a CTF scenario in the game yet! lol


edit: been playing soldier: 76 a bunch, he's basic but pretty damn good imo.. just having a heal and the mobility of his sprint makes him incredibly versatile on both offense and defense

Yeah, more variety is always good, but not if it waters down each of the modes because there are so many. I'm sure over time there will be a nice balance. But, it does seem like a more non-hardcore FPS type game that is appealing "because Blizzard".

You sir have a lot of fucking nerve coming in here complaining about no CTF when you at least have the fucking beta! How insensitive can you fucking be?

I honestly can't see them not have CTF or multiple other game modes. Game looks damn fun to play and even better when you watch a really skilled player do their stuff.

Word around the interwebs/gaming press is that this is almost certainly getting a console port at some point.

Blizzard is set for world domination.

CTF seems very contrary to their "shorter games" mantra considering CTF matches are the slowest fucking FPS-Team maps in existence and since it's a symmetrical conflict there's not much way of speeding it up.

Wwhhaaattt Quake CTF was fast as hell with the grapple, rocket jumps, etc.. Of course that was like 1996 or 97 and that was a ton of alcohol ago.

I used to love Super CTF for Quake...that was the one where you could get runes like Superman, Subzero, Scorpion, etc

Biggest gripe is that if you're good at an important hero like Reinhart you're stuck playing him every fucking game if you want to win because everybody is bound to suck and pick widowmaker or tracer because omgstreamergot25killstreak!

Well yeah standard online stuff. Worst part is when everyone else picks pew pew heroes and you're stuck deciding if you should pick a healer and try to keep the idiots alive or a tank and try to play the objectives. And then even though you have 2 tracers 1 pharrah 1reaper 1mccree, you're still getting sniped by their solo widowmaker when trying to protect the payload the entire game because noone knows how to flank and get behind the choke points.

Still is a fun game though, and when people pick random shit I just go Roadhog, he's great at solo killing stuff and can contest objectives since he's super tanky and also great at dealing with shielding heroes and turrets and shit so your other teammates don't have to.

No. You also can't hook Bastion if you hit the shield. Like hitting shields makes your hook do nothing. What he does against shielding heroes is that your primary weapon is a massive shotgun with extreme spread but shields tend to be big so you can hit with every pellet and it does ridiculous damage(like 200+) if you do, and his ult just shreds through shields for the same reason. You can general destroy a full shield reinhardt shield in like 2seconds of shooting with the ult, and then he'll get knockbacked the fuck away, so you can easily clear points and stuff with it. Also it's good against turrets since they don't move, you just run close to it while ulting to clear everyone else including Torbjorn so he can't repair then melt the turret.

He's a really useful hero for objectives, and also really fun to play cause you can 1vs1 everyone and kill a lot of people, as long as you're landing hooks.

With all the movement skills it seems like CTF would be somewhat weird in Overwatch

Just disable the move skills when you hold the flag, or using a move skill drops the flag. Pretty easy.

You know, I haven't been playing this because Binding of Isaac DLC has been more exciting, but I think due to the salt levels in this thread I'm going to go play a single match

They've probably worked everyone up in a frenzy this past week with not having beta access just in time to announce the $100 Founder's Pack at Blizzcon.
