Overwatch and TF2 similarity

[ClouD]

Overwatch is almost completely same game like TF2. tf2 was created before then that game. Overwatch has almost same classes as TF2. like mercy is extremely similar to medic, windowmaker - sniper, tracer - scout. and also there's a gamemode called "payload" which is same as tf2. there's also "control points" even theres a character called "Zarya". she has minigun, lot of health, a big gun. she's even russian. Overwatch is copying every single tf2 class by just changing their gender! I just won't understand why valve won't sue blizzard already.

They forgot to copy the good parts of TF2 like good movement and relatively short time-to-kill.

overwatch plays nothing like tf2

Yess.... this debate was held years ago, but it's interesting people bring it up every now and then.

I wonder how Overwatch is doing nowadays.

So following the same route as TF2. I don't see these two as copy-of-the-other anymore, but just as siblings struggling to stay afloat, each in their own way.

better in some, worse in others

accessibility isn't the worst thing for the most part

thankfully they're removing most stuns in 2, not that it really matters because it's not as mobility based as tf2 is

no, TF2 is normally fun. Overwatch isn't.

This was my big question the one time I watched some folks playing Overwatch. Everybody was getting lit up like the 4th of July but they seemed to be fine regardless?

tf2 is better then overcrap why even talk about games that aren't on steam seems kinda pointless

because the tanks are literal tanks and the squishies can still take a mortar shell and walk away and everyone has healing abilities that make them almost impossible to kill.

[WE are in the beam.]

Both games have hitscan sniper class/character that is unbalanced when played by very good skilled players.

OW's demoknight is Doomfist, which is aslo weak against very skilled players.

Overwatch and TF2 are both class-based team strategy FPS games.

Overwatch focuses more on the strategy.

TF2 focuses more on the FPS.

Chances are you're shooting more barriers than players since people realised sigma was good way back when. As nice as barriers are at times, double shield is obnoxious.
