Not only will it have the Euro nations, but the Ottoman Empire as well. Gas warfare is going to be brutal pending on how its placed. It will bring a whole new dynamic to rush if you can gas the comm site. Gas Mask looks like its regulated to a class. I wonder if you can TNT horses as replacement for C4 Jeeps... PETA would not be pleased.

So I need a new change of pants after watching that. So freaking happy DICE went with WWI, this will be a nice change from modern warfare titles..

At reset it will be two years since I bought this game. I never knew I'd play almost 2000 hours and mostly on one character. GW2 is definitely my favorite game of all time. Its been a long journey.

Reinhardt is the idiot slayer. I have to grin when some goon playing Tracer gets close to my shield. I let go of L2 and end her with one hammer swing most of the time. Tanks are def for attacking teams. It depends on the mode if defenders need a healer. Escort they definitely don't since the spawn is so imbalanced at the end, you literally spawn right there at the pad so you can push the car off of it a little and win when time expires. I know its not called Escort, or maybe it is and one is called Payload... the mode where the whole round is about escorting the car is my least favorite. I like the one where you cap or defend the point and then escort because once the car hits the pad, you win or lose immediately. Either mode Reinhardt is king, Not only does he provide the whole team with protection, but the other team will generally group up in front of you and you can CC the shit out of them with his ultimate. If you're on tomorrow I'll Reinhardt it out for you so you can try some other characters. You're MMR pure unluckly. I get about 50/50 good teams bad teams. Defense is all about area denial. Mei, Torbjorn, Junkrat, Bastion, and Phara are must haves. I ran into a team that ran two Bastions and were just boss as keeping us out of the last point cap. The map just suited it well because it has superior line of sight for them to cover all points of entrance in turret mode.

I'm a little worried since this team is only know for FPS games. Makes me think this will end up becoming another Battlefront style game down the line (which, after DICE's fuck ups, is something no SW fan wants unless it's done right). However, this could be our hopes of getting the scrapped SW 1313 game or at least a game of a similar premise (a man can hope, 1313 was looking to be the best SW game to come out in years had it actually gotten off the ground (I was extremely hyped for it)).

I say raid dynamic because it's the closest to what the game plays like (at least on escort mode, capture is a whole different story). Honestly only the attacking team (for escort) needs a tank by what I've seen. Defensive teams are okay as long as they have a healer (I just got off of another hour of playing and god my ass handed to me over and over again by 5 dps/1 healer (or I guess more like 4 dps/1 support/1 healer) defensive teams when I was on attack) or some sort of character that can heal (I've seen 2 Soldier 76's keep an entire defensive team up, that's how good his heal is). Sadly though it totally means nothing if you have no teamwork which is why I'm frustrated with this game as most people would rather run off and do their own thing (my last match tonight was a different story, I played Reinhardt and people actually stuck to me and I had a dedicated healer. We still lost before we could start escorting the car but we came extremely close to starting the escort due to my teams ability to stick to the massive guy carrying a massive hammer and the angel chick keeping him alive). Getting kills is not how you win matches, playing the objective is (fuck as Reinhardt I don't go for kills unless it's against another Reinhardt or their is no chance of me dieing since I know I need to keep my team safe). As DX pointed out though it's extremely fun and satisfying when you do get that team that works together though, nothing more satisfying then taking a capture point and winning by a small percentage because you're team wiped the floor by working together. I hope, for all of you who bought it, that these jackasses won't be playing past the beta otherwise they're going to ruin this game. Sadly this is only a problem the community can fix so like I said I hope these bastards get weeded out when they realize this isn't a COD based game. The whole unemployment thing wouldn't be so bad if there were jobs in this damn town (and for not having a job since the end of March, it's funny how fast money goes when you're unemployed for over a month). First place I applied to interviewed me but decided I wasn't exactly right for the job and this is the only place out of the other 3 jobs I applied to that showed interest, the only hang up is this problem that popped up (which may take up to two weeks to get rectified). Let me tell you, I was bitching at my old job that I needed a vacation and now I don't think I'll be taking any time off for a year if this problem gets fixed. There's only so much you can do to keep yourself occupied before you get extremely bored (hence why I'm playing through DA: Inquisition to get it done, might as well capitalize on my newfound free time. Maybe if I beat it quickly enough I can start up MGSV).

I sound like a gw2 glint right now.

Meh, I now know why I'm not liking this game. It focuses to much on the raid dynamic of an MMO it's frustrating. Don't get me wrong I love that there is now a shooter out there that focuses on making you work as a team (lets face it, as much as Battlefield pushes the squad thing very few people work as a team) but it's purpose is defeated when everyone and their mom wants to play Genji, Tracer, Widowmaker, Roadhog, Hanzo, or any other damage character in the game. I won one match out of 9 this morning due to idiotic people not wanting to man up and heal or tank. I tried Reinhardt today and he is quite the beast but I learned quickly that without a dedicated healer you're fucked (thank you jackasses that decided we needed two Widowmaker's, a Tracer, a Reaper, and a McCree on our team). I also tried Torbjorn out and I have to admit that guy is a freaking beast if you play him right (I got play of the match when my turret went ham and killed 5 people when I hit my Ult). I hit my stride with Mercy today and figured out exactly how to play her effectively (netting my first Epic) after someone else decided to play Rein after I picked him. While I agree she needs some sort of shield or armor buff to keep her alive as long as you stick behind the group and team with one person you'll survive (I followed a Pharah on that match I got an epic on and we went complete ham. Switching between heal and damage buff really went a long way for us). My whole major gripe of the day is I didn't get a chance to try any other characters besides the two I mentioned above. I get really frustrated when I get regulated to playing Mercy (as much as I love her) or the tank due to people not wanting to work as a team. I would try Zenyatta but I feel he's not for me. I can't even juggle dps with heals on Mercy so I honestly don't think I could handle healing, damaging, and debuffing as Zenyatta (though I might try him out later this weekend, I got my ass handed to me by him today so I know he's a powerful character in the right hands). As fun as I find this game it's bringing out my COD rage from my MW2 days due to lack of teamwork. I prefer Battleborn over this and I will be buying it as soon as I get a job and the money to do so. I'll continue playing the beta until it's over but honestly this game isn't for me. Battleborn has more to offer me then Overwatch does and I get the same gameplay either way (though Overwatch does do a better job with the multiplayer aspect, then again the whole concept was designed and balanced around it) plus I get a single player aspect and 26 completely disturbed and hilarious characters.

Fun factor definitely increases when your team works together to win. My first night I won the first 2 matches and lost like 10-15 straight against teams that were working together. Unless someone else steps up to the plate, I stick with Reinhardt on attack and Torbjorn on defense more the most part. I racked up 23 eliminations with my turret last night. I think he is a vastly underrated character because he wasn't featured a lot in close beta reddit clips. You may not get play of the game, but Torbjorn's area denial is super strong. Next time you're regulated to Healer, try Zenyatta. He doesnt have the healing power of Mercy, but he can heal, and you can waste tanks with that orb of discord. I also wiped the floor with someone playing Widowmaker. Zenyatta has crazy accurate and charging up his L2 will instakill any 200HP foe. In the right hands hes devastating. I played against someone 2 nights ago that was damn good with him and he was laying waste to me. Some dude on reddit was bashing him only to be met with people saying "You've never encountered a good Zenyatta player have you?" Mercy is def the strongest healer, and because of such you have a big target on your back because there is nothing you can do for yourself against attackers. every time I see that stream of light coming off someone, I go for her first myself. I think they should replace that laughable dash skill she has with an armor buff or a shield to protect her self a bit. Or she should be able to fly like Phara. Soldier 76's healing is underrated as well. If your team pays attention its really good since he says "Come here and heal up" when you place it. The two things I love about this game that stresses me out about other shooters is that, 1, you can shoot through your teammates... I rage so hard when my shots get blocked and I die along with the idiot that blocked my bullet barrage trying to get the kill, and 2, you spawn in a safezone. No spawn raping. The safe zone has 3 exits too so its pretty hard to exploit it as defenders. I should be on a lot tomorrow since I'm off. My sinuses have been killing me so I haven't been able to play as much as I'd like to. I've been going to be early the last 2 nights. I think I'm almost over it though.

thanks! when i applied, i told them i wanted to do interstate (to have better chance of getting hired). but it'd be awesome if i could do local/state. but right now, i got this as a back up. i needed some kind of skill, just incase something happens at my current job, get laid off or whatever. i'm thinking about getting a part time job maybe as a class B driver, or get a bus endorsement (which requires another road test). one of my coworkers has a sidejob as a plumber helper and he said he made $150 just changing waterheater working only 3 hours. that motivated me to get my CDL in the first place because i'm not that young anymore lol, hopefully i can learn other trade too.

Meh, I honestly don't know what to think of this. I just got done with a few matches (where I was regulated to the healing role since apparently no one wanted to do it tonight). While the gameplay is fun something just isn't clicking for me (like I said I honestly don't know what to think about it). I'll be on it quite a bit this weekend when I'm not drowning in DA: Inquisition so I'll post a more comprehensive post detailing my full thoughts on this game (if you guys want to play let me know, due to not currently having a job I have a lot of free time on my hands as I'm currently waiting to hear back from my potential employer (something is delaying my start date so yeah)). However, since I had the displeasure of being forced to play a healer, I fell in love with Mercy. I learned quite quickly that she or any other healer in the game are pretty much the driving force behind winning matches (a fact I learned in my last match in which we didn't have a healer, we barely won but I feel we could of wiped the floor with the other team had I or someone else been a healer). A tank is worthless without a healer and, as DX said, you get credit for kills if you're healing your team. I feel I did an excellent job keeping my team alive when I wasn't the number 1 target for the other team (almost got two Epics for my healing). I also love Genji. He's a little off putting due to his weapon of choice (shurikens) but after you get the hang of how they shoot and work he's a great damage role to play. Plus his ultimate is killer if you get in a group of distracted enemies (I took three enemies out the first time I used it). My only gripe is, being a ninja and all, he should have a sprint or a built in increase to his run speed. He's too slow at getting to the objective and can't run away for shit when you need too. Given more time with him I could probably overlook this but I only got a match and a half with him since I manned up and played a healer my first three matches.
