Just wanted to let you dudes know, those that have been interested in overwatch but didn't want to cough up money for a game they may not like, it's free to play until (or maybe through?) the 25th.

Cool, might check it out. Never played it, but I play Paladins on PC which is always compared to Overwatch and it's one of my favorites of that genre.

It's worth a try. I got it for my birthday last year and I enjoyed the couple games I played. Internet connection is a little bit too unstable to play an FPS though 
I mean I did play on ps3's Black Ops servers and MW2 when it was hack city but I was able to compensate with the terrible servers (or more accurately player hosts I think) with a fair amount of 
Now anything over 100ms in most game irritates the shit out of me.
But OW is an interesting experience with relatively unique characters and abilities so if I could I'd play it.

If you're just starting out then I'd recommend playing as Soldier 76. He's the easiest character to shoot with for beginners.

He and Mcree handle more like traditional fps shooters. Widowmaker and Ana are snipers. If you like being hated by everyone, including your teammates.
Mccree and soldiers ultimates are really easy to use too. Tracer is a good shooter but her abilities are probably going to get you killed.
I favor heavy machine guns compared to alot of FPS players so Bastion was a favorite of mine. Plus I just found his character cute.

McCree is good if you know to aim properly and from, most of the time, at a distance. But most players move to quickly for you to be able to shoot them. I'm talking from a beginner's point of view here.
Hanzo is pretty damn good too. If you want to learn something beyond sniper shooting... then go for Hanzo. I love using Hanzo.

Mccree handles like any other pistol shooter though. Better than some, average considering it's a 6 shooter. And his ultimate is the easiest one I can think of to use well. If you have an inkling of timing and position. Which isn't too hard on objective based game modes.
I would not recommend Hanzo for a beginner. Fun to develop your skill but not translated well from traditional fps shooters. Or from the RPGs with good bows I've played for that matter.

McCree is based upon timing though. Most beginners don't have that ability of timing. They may have the position, that's easy, but not the timing.
Hanzo is good for a beginner sniper.

Lucio is a great beginner character too. Easy to use support, auto heal/speed boost option, fair (low end) damage, and as long as you can stay near your team and your gun hot and pointed in the right general direction (think more zone denial than damage), you're doing good.

I've no idea, probably PC only, but either way it should be over now.
Unless they extended it. Blizzard does do things like that on occasion. I'm sure you could find out with a quick google search.

Play "Random" mode in the arcade. You're a different hero every time you respawn so you get a chance to try everyone.
Hanzo is fun if you know how to handle his bow. He can really piss off other players. I have a few "play of the game" with Hanzo.
I have a shit ton "Play of game"'s with Solder: 76. Like a ton, lol.
