anyone who's currently watching have any thoughts on this new fps they're creating? seems heavily tf2 inspired.

Also excited for Goblins vs Gnomes.

It looks really cool, I just wonder how much actual aim will be involved with the game since a lot of the characters dont have guns it seems.

A hero based FPS with CP maps, Payload maps and the default gamemode is 6v6.

But, can I rocket jump?

it reminds me of mobas

nothing in any of the videos or class descriptions really seemed like it takes technical skill, just knowing abilities/maps/respawns and shit

everyone has 4 abilities and one ult and i bet theres gonna be cooldowns and judging from the videos bullet spread is absurd

Sentries, teleporters, heal beams...
We just need a dispenser, right here.

other than notable weapons/ideas from tf2 like medigun, sentries, cp/payload etc, I doubt this will play anything like tf2. Abilities with cooldowns, lots of melee, and overall a focus on making the mechanics "cool" rather than simple mean that it looks like it'll be difficult to play competitively

edit: also you'd better be able to change that fov

It's seems to be more similar to SMNC than to TF2. Knowing Blizzard, it will have lots of interesting mechanics. The game looks more about clever use of those rather than pure aim or movement.

I'm looking forward to playing it.

I just have to throw this out there... that setup they have with the entire stage being a screen and interchanging from races and maps and stuff... one of the sexiest things I've seen in my life.

I'm rarely hyped for a game anymore but this one did it. Especially after Chroma (Harmonix) died.
