Overwatch Beta is live!

That's not true, I've seen highlights for literally every character except support heroes(Lucio, Mercy and the Z ball one), but you get to vote for their healing which is equally appreciated(I've got like 9 votes for my Mercy healing which is pretty cool haha). I've actually seen only two play of the game of Widowmaker though, and both were mine lmao.

I'll be on for about 10 hours, my PSN is dilutesheer if you wanna play

I've seen highlights for most characters (I've seen Lucio and the robot monk get at least one each), but they've still all been for kills rather than generally 'doing something cool', which puts a character like Mercy at a pretty low chance of getting one. I guess the 'vote' thing does make up for it a lot though. I feel like a king when I come up on there and get all the votes :3

I've seen Widowmaker a few times, but a majority of those were me as well xD The only other character I really get them with is D.Va. I once somehow managed to kill all 5 of the other team with her pea shooter for a kill cam (though to be fair, that thing is surprisingly awesome).

The actual 'offensive' characters who I keep seeing get kill cams I'm absolutely terrible with. The best I've done with those is a double kill with Mcree's deadeye...

I do agree with almost everything said here, especially on the overhype part. It's for sure a great game and is most positively hyped up to the extreme.
I think part of that is the fact that is was so exclusive for so long in closed beta.

I think it has more to do with it being both a new Blizzard IP and it being a game that's been teased for a quite a long time now.

I mean, I'm pretty sure I remember seeing teaser material for this around 2012/2013 back before 'Titan' was cancelled. It was actually supposed to be in the same continuity as Titan, so I kind of assumed it had been canceled along with it (though apparently they just 'recycled' parts of Titan and made them into Overwatch maps).

The beta was extended until May 10.

I've been enjoying the game more than I thought! I enjoy getting the player highlights with Genji. I haven't played a ton of other characters, but I will!

 

[DarkDesertFox]

I am truly going to miss this game. Two more weeks before it's actually released.

Super good game. I've played it a lot over the last 3 days and they've convinced me to buy it. The game itself runs so flawlessly on my PC and you can tell the engine is really good. Map design is great, character design is great, gameplay is amazing. I haven't had any server lag at all. Blizzard really has impressed me. This is the first game of theirs I'm playing.

Oh, I play McCree by the way. I have gotten a lot of POTG and gold elims and gold damage in my matches.

 

[EpicGamer12]

And I pre-ordered it... 2 weeks ;-;

This is what has impressed me the most. The servers were flawless the entire time I played the beta. I applaud Blizzard A LOT that they had so many people on their servers at once and didn't pull a Halo 5 or Sim City. If servers are as flawless as they were during the beta when the game launches, I will be thoroughly impressed.

Edit: Oh, my favorites were Mercy, Lucio, and Torbjorn. I didn't expect to love the healers/defense guys as much as I did, but they were a blast.

 

[radical6]

lucio is fun to play with tbh and to knock people off into holes lol

i am having withdrawal syndrome, i dunno what to do now. i just wanna play again.... please blizzard

Yeah, he's my favorite support character. Definitely the most fun support to play as.

I didn't try every character, but I really enjoyed Reaper, Tracer, D. Va, and Mei the most.

 

[Ashtot]

I think my favourites are Mercy, Tracer, and Soldier 76.

 

[Kildor]

It's been two days since the beta ended. I'm suffering withdrawals right now

I might buy the game on launch day if my wallet allows it

please

 

[Curry]

As long as I can afford it, chances are I'll buy it on launch. A few of my close friends love the game so they plan to hardcore it, so I'll probably be playing it to play with them too.

 

[Acruoxil]

I tried almost every hero, but I absolutely loved using Widowmaker. I managed to get a Quadrakill with it in my second last game haha, the highlights/votes were ace. Besides that I used a lot of Tracer, Reaper and Mercy. Torbjorn and reinhardt was a bit boring since you barely did anything with it besides set up defenses/tank hits but yeah. Pharaoh was ok too but rocket kills were a bit non interesting haha.

Seriously can't wait for the game to come out, I've been trying to save up for it.

 

[mob]

i played every single day when the beta was open and now i have to wait 12 more days until its finally live ;~;

 

[DarkDesertFox]

The withdrawal is real. Technically 5 more days, but 6 more days until the servers open.
