nnounced last year,
Blizzard’s second
attempt at an FPS (First

Person Shooter) will be heading into
BETA in late 2015; I say attempt as
Starcraft Ghost never actually made
it to BETA. Similar to most of Blizz’s
games, players will run around
as heroes; currently there are 14
publicized options. Heroes fall into
the normal categories of HIT ME, HIT
ME also known as tanks, I’LL SAVE

and YOU’RE MINE FOR THE KILL

than the next and will requires

YOU - a support class, COVERING

better known as an offensive class.

players to master skill sets in order

YOUR ASS or the defensive classes

Each hero plays very differently

to be the ultimate superhero.
In basic terminology, an
overwatch is a warfare term that
depicts a team of individuals
whose sole purpose is to watch
over those on the front lines. They
take strategic placements to
ensure the safety of those in plain
sight pushing forward in battle.
So it seems fitting with the roles
provided by Blizzard for this game,
that amidst a war of the ages, you
will be running around as a small
team working together, adapting to
terrain and creating strategies to
pull off feats to defend the world.
