This window on Midtown’s first objective is on of the premier sniping spots in Overwatch 2. The shape of the window makes only your head visible and gives you complete vision over all entrances to the objective. This position also has a window leading directly to the objective to the left, making rotating very easy if the enemy reaches the po

Pharah is a lesbian. One of Overwatch ’s most beloved heroes has been the intense focus of queer pairings and headcanons since the first game’s release in 2016, and Blizzard has now confirmed our long-held sapphic suspicions as part of an upcoming Pride event. Pharah sits alongside Tracer, Soldier 76, and Baptiste as one of many queer characters, although some of them were retroactively blessed with this queerness instead of it being part of their origins.This brings up an interesting debate, and the community has been hashing out the value of LGBTQ+ representation which didn’t exist when the foundations were built, but was subtly added through future updates and multimedia stories that don’t even exist within the game itself. It can be easy to label Overwatch’s handling of queer characters and themes as hollow rainbow capitalism, even more so when Activision has a habit of dropping huge revelations like this alongside evolving workplace scandals or big stories that it wants to distract you from. Pharah feels like an unfortunate coincidence, but it’s hard to forgive its awkward timing when it’s flanked by a damning Bobby Kotick article that brings years’ worth of scandals screaming back into the headlines. It’s gross, and puts an unfortunate spin on a big reveal that fans have a right to be excited about. I used to play Overwatch every day. It was a game that defined my time in university. My flatmates and I would often play games in the evening or speculate about future seasonal events and loot drops.

One of the most deadly assassins in the world, Widowmaker is not meant to be trifled with. Her deadly shot and ice cold demeanor make her response a threat to just about anyone, which makes it all the more confusing that groups of Overwatch heroes are constantly breaking into her château to host deathmatch battles th

And what do friends love? Jokes! Specifically, good jokes. Winston’s got a habit of inviting everyone he interacts with to listen to his periodic table humor, with largely negative results. A big book of science jokes might help him freshen up his material, and hopefully avoid sending any of his allies running off to join Talon rather than listening to his third potassium pun in a

Voice lines and emotes sparked a flame of romance, and fans wasted no time turning this into something special. It warms my heart to this day, and Pharah’s reveal as a lesbian has already seen countless comics and pieces of art resurface that solidify how much this confirmation means to us. But thanks to Activision Blizzard being a heartless corporation that relies on LGBTQ+ representation to wash over its sins out of convenience rather than progress, our adoration has already been euthanized.

Battlefield Hardline takes the war scene to the urban streets of America where law enforcement must engage with organized crime. Fans of the game are aware that the developer famously included super-rare gun reloading animations that only pop up once in a blue moon. But when they do, they’re usually hilarious or completely ridicul

With a group of characters as eccentric as the cast of Overwatch , deciding what to put under the tree each year is harder than holding the capture point in Lijiang Tower .

In the game, Leon Kennedy wields a number of firearms to take down the Los Ganados zombies. The Broken Butterfly is a mighty powerful revolver that Leon can get his hands on. When reloading, he flips out the chamber and dumps the empty shells blindly over his shoulder like a total renegade before replenishing his a
