We will be closing this General thread in 24 hours. It will remain searchable.
After that we will require new threads to discuss topics.
Questions should go in the stickied Q&A thread, screenshots and PotG will go in the PotG sticky, QQ/Rage/Complaints should go in the QQ/Rage thread. If you want to talk about maps or strategies open a new thread.
Any comments or concerns will be logged please forward them to ZeromuS. This new forum is still fluid so we will try this out. General TL rules will still apply to new threads.

Wow I'm so outraged god damn it.
Putting that aside, did they add (or intend to add) other kind of objectives beside convoy and point control, because looking at people playing the beta I felt it was somewhat repetitive some month ago ? Or did the new heroes changed much ?
I don't know about you all, but I was really pumped for the game when the beta came out and now the feeling died down. This new fashion that beta come way before the launch with huge mediatisation through famous streamers and youtubers is not that good to me, as it create a short term and unanswered need.
I was excited for it too, I'm always happy to at least take a look on all of the Blizzard franchises, but since it's almost sure that it's not going to have any single-player/co-op campaign thingy, but movie shorts instead... I think I'll back off.

I think I'd prefer a tug-of-war map to CTF. So many heroes are reliant upon movement skills that the common approach to CTF balance of "disable movement skills" seems really, really silly to me. And then if you don't disable movement skills it becomes just too imbalanced.
I did not play myself but the new Control maps seem really good, so its not like they are not adding anything.
Game balance limits what you can do in regard to game modes though. The available hero pool is made for a certain type of gameplay. After all this is not a game like UT where all characters are the same. E.g. Tracer should be way op in ctf.
Blizzard isn't likely to add CTF maps in the near future due to game length. It's very easy for CTF to take forever (SEE: WSG) and matching the pacing of the rest of their modes would basically involve turning CTF into something that isn't CTF.

Game lengths are already pretty wildly variable in OW. You can have someone throw themselves for 5 minutes against point A and not cap it or have another match go into perma overtime on all checkpoints.

I think they added like a 15 minute cap to WSG that defaults to victory based on certain conditions if the flag caps are tied. Only played it a couple times in the last 6 years though since the hundreds of classic+TBC
I wonder if their plan is to do this for all of the characters, which is a lot. I'm stoked though, I really liked the last one.
I wouldn't think for all characters but probably for major events. There is clearly some bad blood between Widowmaker and Tracer and I assume that will be answered in this short. But if they do give some backstory for all the characters that would be great. I'd love to see a short about the fall of Overwatch focusing on Reaper and 76.

make a post in the blizz forums, they'd be thrilled to "include" you too.
Of course your argument is quite weak now because you don't have a daughter, so be sure to say you have one , with a Russian wife of course, and stress how effeminate she is :D

Since when are game characters supposed to be "inclusive" and represent the player behind the character anyway? Which Overwatch character represents the male nerd which is like 90% of the player base?
