kind of like tf2 but characters are hero-types with abilities and an ultimate. 4 different types of classes: offensive, defensive, tank and support

i got into the beta today, if you want a chance to get in flag your bnet account in the beta section and make sure overwatch beta is checked. invites are sent out randomly every wave and they do one every 1-2 weeks

only tried a few matches so far so i don't have much to say about it yet. gameplay is pretty straightforward but so far there are 20 characters so there's a lot of abilities to learn. pretty much everyone has a weapon, alt fire, 2-3 abilities and an ult. the ult needs to be charged by ptfo. the ults usually work in tandem with the strength of the hero. for example the "engineer" of the game's ult is called Molten Core, and it makes his hammer (wrench) work a lot faster as well as his weapon and turret.

some are a little more unorthodox like D.Va who is a tank character. she starts in a mecha , and her ult allows her to abandon the mech, which self-destructs a few seconds latter for a fuckload of a damage. she has less health without it but has a more accurate weapon. after some time she can call down a new mech.
