    I was having a blast playing it yesterday. Love that you have so many different classes that are so veried in their uses and how to use them and that it feels a lot more skill based then when TF2 came out. It does feel like a TF2 with better graphics but thats just fine with me.

    Who have you been playing as?

    I've mainly been playing Pharah. Others I've played - Soldier:76, Widowmaker.

    Wasn't feeling tracer.

    I'v mainly played as Soldier:76 because I love his ultimate attack. Wasn't a fan of Tracer either, the jumping around was to annoying to me.

    @Strenuus I literally hate you for playing GO Comp games with no sound.. ;) FYI, Dreamhack is live right now, and Summit's standing in for SPLYCE even though they just got demolished. :(

    Here's a couple of my ways of thinking on why I do it:

    One: The community, especially at the level I'm at (Silver Elite Master... I was higher until they changed it).. is absolutely pitiful and disgraceful, a joke of a community.

    Two: It really helps my game sense for maps. I can usually, just by looking at my maps, know where people are going, have been, and are at. So nothing really surprises me and I can play angles pretty well.

    I never really liked CS that much. I had some fun, but I hated how that game rewarded aiming over reflexes. If I shoot you 4 times center mass with an M4, you shouldn't be able to spin around and shoot me in the face and kill me instantly.

    That's partially why I loved COD4 so much. I'd play hardcore, where 2-3 shots from an m4 would kill you. No time for you to spin and headshot. You're just dead.

    I shit you not, I have been waiting for this game to come out for over 7 years now. I can only hope it will live up to my over-inflated, insurmountable hype for it.

    Been really into Path of Exile lately, since the Pandarus league came out. Much like Diablo 3, but far more in depth.

    Every time I hear about this game, I want to get back into it. I only got as far as Act 2 and it seemed fun up to that point.

    1b) Motherboard. That's the foundation of the entire system. Don't go cheap! It's like putting a V8 in a Kia Rio. Putting a powerful processor and fast ram in a cheap mb is a waste.

    2b) SSD if you're not running an SSD as your boot drive you're missing out. The built in video on the latest i5 or i7 isn't that bad. If it comes down to being able to afford a SSD or vid. card I would go with the SSD.

    It's a given you don't go cheap on the mobo. lol. I thought that was a nobrainer.

    my vid card seems to do well, I don't run anything video wise off my processor.

    I played 3 and 4 several years back and am pretty hyped for this one.

    My latest is a year old. Got a 970 and i7 but 16 gigs of ram. Its quite a bit cheaper now and I keep meaning to add a couple more sticks but...

    Gotta agree about the SSD, its a huge upgrade! Going back to a HDD now would be like going back to dial-up.
