Blizzard’s Overwatch game is similar in design to Valve’s awesome Team Fortress 2 title, but Blizzard has also taken inspiration from MOBAs for its map mechanics and character designs. The footage below has been unedited and provide a first look at complete matches.
“Overwatch will feature squad-based combat with two opposing teams of six players each.[2] Similar to a multiplayer online battle arena game, players choose one of several hero characters, each with their own unique abilities and role classes.
The four character roles include: offense-oriented characters with high speed and attack but low defense, defense-oriented characters meant to form choke points for enemies, support characters that provide buffs for their allies such as healing and other boosts, and tank characters that have a large amount of armor and hit points to withstand enemy attacks. Players can switch between characters in-game following deaths, which is encouraged by the game’s overall design.”
