Be good to have a thread about how our game nights have been going. We managed to get Stretch to Diamond (finally!) a few days ago and we seem to be levelling off a little. Roadhog is annoying the hell out of me when I play as DVa. Loving [mention=1456]TehMoe[/mention] Ana and [mention=1465]Greboth[/mention] Reinhardt games of late. Cheers guys. I'm currently floating around 2500.

I was talking to Rich the other night and I think we could defintely start to do this more often. Clearly @tronic44 and @Greboth are the video montage people here that can knock up a montage reasonably quickly so I'm suggesting we have a regular easy routine of: Playing Overwatch Recording gameplay Grabbing the videos stored to put in a central location Rich/Greboth to work their magic The easy bit is just deciding what days all videos need to be with the pair. The medium bit is where to store it. The hardest part is getting the videos off the playstation IF they need to be done in a set way. I'm happy to try out the U…

Watched the whole reveal 10 days ago. Was a decent watch and learned a few extra things along the way. Full video below if you want to watch it. The roadmap of what to come too has been shared within the video above, so i've grabbed a screenshot for ease below: The jury is out still on how 5v5 will work instead of 6v6 for me. The fact they've had to go back and remodel most maps to combat this switch should prove worthwhile. At least we get to try out the beta in a few days to see how all of this is going to work out. The Beta is out 28th June to 5th July. You need to opt in to the Beta here &g…

Sensible decision. They were never going to get away charging full price for this - what is essentially a continuation of the live service that they've neglected for the last 3 years. Game is out in October Overwatch 2 is releasing free-to-play this October | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Plus the first look at new tank hero Junker Queen.

At the recent Overwatch League weekend, they released 2 big reworks for existing Heroes. Bastion's Rework ⏩ Move while in sentry form 💣 New ultimate: Artillery Strike 💥 New ability: Tactical Grenade 🧢 Cap-tivating new look Sombra's Rework 👀 Reveal hacked targets through walls 👩💻 Hack no longer removes stealth ⌛ Hack cooldown reduced 💥 Deal more damage to hacked targets I can good Sombra players being really annoying now as they hack you at every opportunity😅 Good to see a few reworks.

The Overwatch director and Vice President of Blizzard has left after 19 years of service. We don’t know why yet but it’s safe to say things are probably not too rosy with Overwatch 2 right now. This is a big and unexpected surprise and another huge departure at a household name of a developer.

This year's OW Winter Event is from December 10th to January 2nd. 3 separate week's worth of skins and sprays to get again. This time round it seems to have a slight variation of the snowball fight mode from last few years. Snowball Deathmatch will be a separate gamemode to choose in the Arcade mode. Also, noticed that Mei catches a snowball thrown at her - I'm not sure if that's just her ability or a common one for everyone which should be what's happening. I must admit although it's not really different to the last few years, I've always found the snowball fights to be some really good lolz with everyone. Could even be a g…

Pretty significant changes. You will now be asked to pick the role you want to play before heading into a quickplay or a competitive game. Tank, DPS or Support. Once you find your game, you will be only allowed to choose a Hero out of the role you've pre-selected. They want to push the 2-2-2 format as they want the change in the meta which is already being seen in playtests and the fact that some heroes will be getting some substantial changes. I need to rewatch this one as its 16 minutes long but they probably needed a shake up to the game to keep it fresh...i'm just not sure forcing every team to be 2-2-2 is the way to go. …

A short initial update that confirms Summer Games is coming a little sooner, with 3 mini challenges (1 each week) to unlock 3 epic skins. Also, Hero 31 is coming but a little later than usual. Good ol' Jeff confirms we're likely to get a few more videos very soon to give us updates on more changes coming.

Recent update - New Map is called Havana. Havana, a vibrant, historic port city where the winds of change blow strong, is home to Overwatch’s newest Escort map! Begin your trip at the Taller de Sebastián, where the classic cars that line Havana’s bustling streets stop for refueling and repair. Escort a truck of rum barrels on the sun-drenched cobblestone roads, fighting off those who try to stop you. As you make your way, duck into a colorful building to escape enemy fire and savor the impressive flavors of Havana at La Cocina de Miranda or Café del Sol. Battle your opponents through the alleys until you reach the Don Rumbotico rum…

It's out until May 6th and finally a new PvE event to play. What was good about these Overwatch events is that they are all playable so @phil bottle, @tronic44, @crispymorgan and myself played through all of them in order. It's another decent PvE event that sticks with the story, I think the first one was always the best for me but it's not far off it. They really should focus on developing a PvE game as there is so much they could do with it. It'll be a shame to see these modes go after May 6th.

From the discussion on Overwatch coaching I thought we could have a tips and tricks thread. Whether tips you’ve picked up from playing a character a lot or from videos etc. Share them here and I’ll keep this post updated by hero for them all. As I’ve played a lot of Rein and watched a few videos I’ll post Rein first Reinhardt; Spoiler By his abilities Rein is a shot caller – people generally want to stand behind his shield. If you stand still people will too, if you use your shield to advance, to push a choke it can give your team the momentum to break through a choke. It sounds counter intuitive but tr…

GENERAL UPDATES ARMOR Developer Comments: The damage taken by armor from damage over time effects, such as Widowmaker’s Venom Mine, and beam weapons, like Symmetra’s Photon Projector, varied greatly. Now it will be more consistent and predictable. Beam-type damage is now reduced by 20% when hitting armor Mei: Primary Fire Moira: Alternate Fire, Coalescence Symmetra: Primary Fire, Sentry Turret Winston: Primary Fire Zarya: Primary Fire Damage over time effects are no longer mitigated by armor Ana: Primary Fire Ashe: Dynamite Hanzo: Dragonstrike Me…

A small patch landed yesterday just before we started playing to drop the new Paris map for everyone. We played it a few times and it seemed a decent Assault map, with the first point harder to take against a well co-ordinated team holding the choke point just ahead of the point. One of the better map additions on first play through me thinks. Not sure what you guys thought@LordBaguette @crispymorgan @Greboth?

New Event is up. January 8th - January 21st. Looks like by playing specific activities and winning matches across quickplay and competitive means you can obtain new skin and sprays for Ana. Really neat idea and it feels like a test in the water for different challenges on how to keep Overwatch relevant and a game income back to. I may give it a go as I do enjoy playing Ana. Thoughts? Anyone tried it yet?

So the long awaiting Torn rework is here and he looks pretty sweet. Highlights of the changes as follows Turret is now deployable and doesn't require building. Turret will now aim at whatever is being hit with your primary fire Overload ability is new and is a mini molten core (previous ult). Lasts for 5 secs and on a 12 sec cooldown, now makes you move faster too Molten core (new ult) is totally new and he basically throws 10 shots of hot magma onto the floor which do 150dps on normal health/shield and 190dps on armour. A fair bit of area denial Crit hitbox rediced by 10% Robot gun projectiles fire faster Spread on alternative f…

The cooperative Junkenstein’s Revenge four-player mode returns in much the same shape, still having select heroes battling against waves of spookies. This year, Brigitte and Tracer are added to the pool of playable ghostbusters. Starts Today and ends October 31st. Lots more skins available which has become the main reason for the event. I'm really not sure that just keeping the same event and not changing it works for the 3rd year running. I think they really could've worked on fleshing out a new PvE map for it or another PvE Halloween mission of some kind. You need to be enticed to come back for more than just skins. However, some of t…

So 2 things. 1. Endorse players 2. LFG in-game On subject of No.1, seems a good idea. Not sure how much it matters really. He says it can't be exploited but I imagine it could be - if we're all running in a group and every game I can keep endorse some of you, we all improve our positive reputation. Equally, might be me but I didn't hear any incentive or reward for this which would be a missed opportunity. Other than that, great idea. 2. LFG in the way explained gives you a greater level of control which again sounds very good in theory. I actually think for many of us here at FG its better than just rolling into Competitive and finding a random, whereas we could now…
