Thanks to Custom Games, things in Overwatch are now really crazy – we show you the wildest game modes created by fans.
The latest patch for Overwatch is on the Public Test Realm (PTR) and allows players to try out new features in advance.
One of the biggest innovations allows players to use the “Server Browser”, which means: players can create their own matches and find fellow players for them. Also new is the ability to freely customize the matches in almost all parameters. Should one team have double health points? The other team no cooldowns? May a team only play as Soldier: 76? All this can be set – and it has opened doors for all kinds of crazy game modes.
Kotaku has published a list of the coolest private matches that we don’t want to withhold from you. Here are some highlights:
In the “Soldier VS Predator” mode by Dartjuk, 3 players play as Soldier:76 with reduced health points and only rockets as their ability. On the opposing team, there is a Sombra with increased health points, faster movement, and virtually no cooldowns. There is no healing for either team – who will win? The Predator as Sombra or the team of soldiers?
The “Pro Genji Simulator” by Alber also looks like a ton of fun. There is no respawn time, everyone can only pick Genji, and they are permanently affected by a speed boost. Oh, and everyone has only 20 health points. One hit means instant death. A cheerful mass slaughter of cyber ninjas!
Finally, we have the “Zombie Mode” from Mirmon. One team plays as Soldier: 76 and the opposing team as Reinhardts with heavy slowing. To balance this, Reinhardt has almost no cooldowns, starts with charged Ultimate, and almost all of his abilities are an instant kill. Anyone who has played Left4Dead2 in “Realism Expert” knows what they’re getting into…
Have you also experimented with the settings and created cool game modes?
