This applies for almost every game, not just shooters. There is nothing more enlightening that playing the flavor of the month hero and realizing all the things that can murder that hero. Makes your life so much easier. | ||

Have no doubt there was a lot of push back from some business/marketing folks who had endless metrics showing just how much they could make if it was free to play. I am really impressed they managed to swing it. I think they need a couple more game modes, but they said they are working on it. | ||

I've played games that I've won but then it goes into overtime and the attackers keep playing and finish the objective and I get a defeat screen. Is overtime a real part of the game? If it's intended, why does the clock give precise figures and then sometimes go into this vague overtime mode? I don't get it.. it seems dumb. I normally just take a break during it but now I'm questioning if I'm "ruining" games by going afk during overtime. If its like TF2 which I assume it is, overtime is caused by members of the attacking team being on or near the objective(for example an checkpoint) when the game time has reached zero. if they can capture the objective during overtime they will win the game, if not they will lose. | ||

Not quite, at least in regards to TF2. Overtime in TF2 means the objective is still being contested. If it's KotM, the win condition is the full timer and 100% control. In Payload, offence wins if they reach the target, defence wins if the timer hits 0:00 and the payload isn't moving. So on, so forth. If Overwatch is the same, it's basically a mechanic that lets the losing team with momentum still win as long as they never lose control, and forces the winning team to have a solid win instead of playing the timer out. | ||
