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. |

What FPS games have you ever played that don't have AOE?

I'm interested to see how blizzard opt to deal with this issue. That's what I thought... until noticed CS:GO staying on this list of top sellers for years. It's still there right now. Unbelievable.

They appear to be expanding the FPS genre, vastly improving the gameplay, like they did with the MOBA genre.

Who do you think buys all those new accounts? lots of hackers (and lots of new players too don't get me wrong I love the game).
I'll say that the community is less than satisfied with Valve's measures against hacking so far. I was hoping that blizzard might be better, but well its blizzard.

EG is still better than secret Mensol.
Also skill ceiling is not the same thing as caliber of opposition. BW has a way higher skill ceiling than sc2, that doesn't mean that sc2 is easier to win ( I mean it is, but thats because just about everyone who still plays bw is legit, meaning new or returning players will lose 50 games or more before they win.)

But this is devolution, taking away from the gameplay. If it altered time, like say void's ulti chronosphere and while it was active you would go all neo, aka bullet time, it would be nice. The way it is now, you press a button, the game aims for you and that's that.

Looks to me like a Team Fortress 2 set in the future, first impression is positive. I'm keeping my watch on this one (what a pun...)

Here it is a problem though, for whatever reason. I am not even sure how that ultimate system works in this game.

This looks cool o.O what the hell...really cool blizzcon so far...I thought blizzard was dead company with dead games and out of touch with its fans.
I like the new things I saw from blizzard so far T_T I actually want to play hots and this as well...and LotV of course. Damn...

Looks like it could be fun. It will depend on how casual Blizzard makes it and how much of my money they try to take to see if I'll play it. (ex : I don't play Hearthstone because of how long it takes to get decent cards if you don't use real money).

The ability looks like throwing a grenade/rocket at your feet that deals damage in an AoE around yourself while you (and presumably your team mates) are invulnerable to the damage. At least that's how I see this ability.

Is it just me or everyone in these forums just blindly plays/likes anything Blizzard makes?, I know this is TL but damn.

Yeah, it's not. It's a melee grenade without friendly fire. Oooooh, soo casual.

Gotta balance out the people who blindly hates on anything with the Blizzard tag.
