So I got into the beta yesterday, and immediately smacked my face into the wall where my GTS 250 simply did not have the necessary graphical hardware to launch the game (that was the error message) (minimum turns out to be gtx 460). so I went out and bought a GTX 950 and got to play a bit.

Here's some environments of the game: https://imgur.com/a/78ahJ
And here's video I made showing off the capabilities of a character named 'D. Va' who drives a mech: https://youtu .be/LNOcqkx7nsY


My opinion of it so far (only like 4 hours of gameplay so far) is that it's as if TF2 was ported to the Source 2 engine by a bunch of Blizzard employees, but they really thought about what was annoying.

So far my favorite classes are 'D. Va' who plays like a less-powerful HWG with a fast-recharging jetpack ability. 'Junkrat' who plays like demoman but with only a pipebomb launcher and special trap abilities, and 'Bastion' who is an overpowered (imo) mobile sentrygun thing.

I'm looking forward to this game. I've not enjoyed TF2 for a while now and have been looking for a good game to replace it.
