When attackers outnumber defenders while taking a control point on Assault, Escort and Assault/Escort maps, the defenders’ respawn time will slowly increase until it hits a maximum value or the defense manages to gain the upper hand.
Developer Comments: Until now, stalling an attack by repeatedly throwing yourself at the point has been a common defensive strategy on Assault, Escort and Assault/Escort maps—even when the attackers have a decisive advantage. Typically, this tactic doesn’t change the outcome of battle; it simply delays the attackers’ progr
When Hanzo realized (incorrectly) that he had murdered his own brother, he rejected his family's legacy and went rogue. Hanzo has been a free agent for over a decade, though he still has to repel assassination attempts from his former criminal colleag
Developer Comments: Previously, there was a minimum distance a projectile had to travel before it could be destroyed by Defense Matrix. This made it nearly worthless in situations where an enemy was right next to your teammate, such as when Roadhog hooks your ally. This change removes that restriction so Defense Matrix should now reliably destroy projectiles regardless of how far they have trave

A Bastion that goes unchecked can devastate a team, particularly on defense. While the recent changes to his kit made him more sustainable and mobile, he is ultimately relegated to niche situations in most matches. An attack Bastion is generally frowned upon in higher levels, and a defensive Bastion can get focus-fired out of existe
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered tells the exact same plot from the 2007 original: Russian ultra nationalist Imran Zakhaev seeks to shift the balance of power in the Middle-East, and by using Khaled Al-Asad to lead a coup, the duo successfully assassinate Saudi Arabian President Yasir Al-Fulani, resulting in a conflict that draws in the United States Army and British Task Force 141. Despite being a nine-year-old story, Modern Warfare Remastered’s tale of espionage, invasion, and nuclear warfare resonates as much today as it did back in 2007. The plot is a lot more grounded and realistic than any recent Call of Duty game and has more of a Steven Spielberg feel to it rather than the Michael Bay of late. You’re not a super solider stuck in the middle of out-of-this-world set piece, but rather a regular soldier working with a squad to complete objectives.
Billed as an explosive finale to Rocksteady Studios' Batman: Arkham trilogy, Batman: Arkham Knight has been making the headlines for all of the wrong reasons these past few weeks. The FPS game beginner guide worked fine on consoles, but on PC it was an entirely different story. Immediately upon launch, PC Arkham Knight players began to report huge framerate issues that persisted whenever Batman mo
Critical hit volume reduced by 15%
Developer Comments: Winston's head hit volume was just abnormally big, making him take more damage than he otherwise should. This change brings it more in line with other her

Rockstar did promise a (virtual) $500,000 stimulus package as an apology for the game's technical issues but given that players had been waiting almost a month for GTA Online to get it together, not everyone was willing to let the company off the h
One of the main knocks on Junkrat is that his primary fire gives more to the enemy team than many other heroes. In most circumstances, a Junkrat is spamming his grenades. With a coordinated team on the other end, these random grenades can be used to charge Zarya's damage as well as enemy support ultimates. If you're feeding ultimate charge to the enemy team, you're actually lowering the chances of winning in the long
Essentially an extension of the Custom Game mode, the Game Broswer enables you to adjust the settings on various modes, maps, and heroes to create a uniquely designed match. For example, if you want to remove the cooldown for McCree's Combat Roll, or increase the speed of Pharah's rockets, you can. Once you're happy with your settings, you'll need to set up permissions. You can limit the people who can join your game through various options, or set your server to "Public," unleashing your creation to dairy farmers in Slovenia to Karate Teachers in Florida. You can read more about the new feature here , or watch the video below for a slightly less revealing, but still effective, overv
