It's a pretty awesome game so far, I definitely enjoy it. I was lucky and received a Beta invite earlier this year so I've been playing on/ off and here's some of my thoughts far..
I played TF2 a tremendous amount long ago, (like my steam hours is embarrassing)..
- It's very similar to TF2. The capture point objective, the payload matches, etc. are all ridiculously similar if not almost identical. But, the physics are quite different from TF2. There's a lot more involved in this game in the actual character selection and the play style of each character. It's got a lot more depth and strategy in my eyes than TF2 where you would just play for hours to be the best / top score (atleast thats all I did lol)
- It has a strong Blizzard vibe to it, which I love. They've always been good with particle effects, like D3, Starcraft, and ofcourse everyone knows WoW (mages amirite?)
- Graphics are very nice, I could manage them on ultra settings highest resolution 30" monitor on my Radeon 7770 but it was struggling.
Cons:
- The amount of "stuff" going on is a real clusterf*ck to me. Maybe I'll get used to it, perhaps people think that of TF2, but I found some points I had no idea wtf I was doing and I was just mashing keys and getting kills or dieng lol. It's a bit difficult to differentiate the enemy team at times, because every "character" looks different really so sometimes my reaction wouldn't be as quick as I wouldn't instantly identify as an enemy. The objective games definitely require some concentration for the first while before you really understand wtf is going on and what you need to do. Especially if you begin playing the characters based on their roles.. which nobody ever really did I found except.
Good game though. With the new WoW Expansion and new COD announcement, not sure if I'll order it though if I don't play it as much.
