I've Got It
So this is for a review/impressions video I want to make about the overwatch beta, any criticism or suggestion is welcomed with open arms!

*Start with fun play of the game clip*
*transition into start of match gameplay*
Starting last thursday whenever I was at home I was on my computer, and I was playing the Open Beta for overwatch. Trying out all the characters, playing with my friends, and messing with tons of team combinations. But how was it?
*Short intro*
*back to match footage*
So the overwatch beta was released may 5th and ended may 9th. And it was a blast. Today I am going to tell you the 3 key reasons why I love Overwatch
There are precise characters with high skill caps that you can show off your aim and skill with like the very fast and deadly Tracer, or a sniper like Widowmaker, or Hanzo.
There are also characters that are easy to play but hard to master, like McCree, torbjorn, Roadhog or lucio.
Then there are characters that allow you to just support your team and honestly can be very easy to play, like Reinhart with his giant shield and hammer, or maybe even the healer mercy.
My point in all of this is odds are there is a character or two for you, regardless of how you play or what you want to do in the game.
2. Teamwork
Another reason I love this game is it’s not just another call of duty. There is no team deathmatch. Success in this game is not due to a single player. Your stats don’t really matter that much, kills especially. A good healer can have 0 kills and still be voted player of the game after the match. That’s because this game is not a game you can run off on your own and be successful in. You have to focus on the objective at all times and try to stick with your team. Because there is a serious strength in numbers, and strength in strategy in this game. This is what makes Overwatch so much fun to play with friends or at very least with other talking players. Sticking together, and talking can go a long way. A less skilled team that works together can often beat a team with 6 good skilled players who just want to go off and do their own thing.
3. Customization
Since most of the basics have been covered I am going to talk about something a little less important but still awesome none the less. During this beta there were a total of 167 skins available for 21 characters. About 8 for each one. For each there were 4 basic recolored skins, then 2 more really cool recolored or slightly different skins, and then 2 legendary skins that were usually epic overhauls of a character's base model. Some of my favorites where Winston’s explorer costume *vid of skin* Zenyatta’s Ra skins *vid* & the steampunk bastion *vid*. Along with all of these each character had sound clips, emotes, victory poses, and play of the game animations that could be unlocked via loot crates or bought with in game currency. There are also sprays, which were stencils or stickers that got “spray painted” on the wall when T is pressed. With at least 10 character specific sprays available this is a fun addition. Although the game is so fast paced the only time people really use them is before a game starts. All of these are optional and don’t add to the gameplay really but help give you extra things to work towards, and be proud of.
So there you have it, there are some of my impressions and some insight on the overwatch beta! Personally I am pre ordering the game now because of this beta and I would give it a very solid 8.5/10. I would recommend the game to anyone who enjoys FPS’s, strategy games, and teamwork. I would also reccomend it if you have a strong group of friends to game with, because the game is so much fun with friends. That’s all for this video guys, if you liked the video make sure to give it a like, if you have anything you want to tell me put it in the comment section in the video and if you want to see more content like this in the future make sure to hit that subscribe button. Cya guys have a great day!
