use something simpler and good all around like soldier:76. game is not about getting kills, it's about objectives. so don't use sniper for maps where they suck at

Please be advised: 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. | ||

Plus, I may blow my brains out if I see two snipers on an attack team again. | ||

As far as people being bad, a fair number are probably just screwing around. I know I have been. | ||

As far as people being bad, a fair number are probably just screwing around. I know I have been. There's voice chat in the game, in my experience people tend to listen. Enough to justify talking. Don't go into strats, when you're on the attacking side sometimes your team will just jump in the grinder one by one because they run in respawn and run in again without waiting for the team. If you just say "stop going in guys let's group up behind (the tank) people will tend to listen. People run in the grinder because they all individually think it's pointless to wait because everyone else is jumping in the grinder, might as well go in and hope for the best. But when you give them the possibility to actually play together, even in the simplest of terms, they do it surprisingly often. | ||

Yeah, I disabled voicechat the first time I heard some guy randomly speaking into my headphones. It super creeped me out. | ||

And if you can't be bothered to do that then Actually, I've been on good behavior so far. I haven't bitched out any of my teammates. I have merely suffered in silence. If I was smart, I'd play Torbjorn every game. He murders crappy teams like no one else. | ||

Also, Mercy is really frustrating to play with noobs. Like don't rush in without the healer should be ingrained in a mandatory training because people are so stupid about it. | ||

I can't bring myself to play any of the tanks. They're all so not me. I played Heavy almost exclusively in TF2 and enjoy tanking in MMOs but for some reason they're all completely unenjoyable for me in this. | ||

Hanging around objectives or pushing a cart is old hat, this game hasn't revolutionized anything. Not knowing the maps, sure that's a real thing. Last night I just decided hell with it and picked McCree and dicked around for me. I can't bring myself to play any of the tanks. They're all so not me. I played Heavy almost exclusively in TF2 and enjoy tanking in MMOs but for some reason they're all completely unenjoyable for me in this. If someone did a survey you would probably find that over 90% of the current overwatch players have never played TF2. Most people will be Blizzard fans, not FPS fans. Which is why things that appear normal and basic are unknown to them. | ||

Most people will be Blizzard fans, not FPS fans. Which is why things that appear normal and basic are unknown to them. I'm sure the number is significantly lower than 90%. Regardless control points, which accounts for the lion's share of the game, also appear in most shooters. The Battlefield franchise is almost entirely based on them, they're also a thing in MMOs, these are ancient concepts. I think a quite a few more people than you realize are FPS players, there's been such a long drought in the FPS market that people are looking for something to fill that void. If CS:GO isn't your cup of tea there's really nothing out there. I'm not a Blizzard fan in the slightest but I am an old school FPS player and there hasn't been dick out there for me in quite a while. I think there are a whole lot more of me than you realize honestly. | ||
