Hardpoint, I mean FLASHPOINT 🎮😜

Overwatch 2 has been under a lot of scrutiny since it launched. As much as the microtransaction situation sucks and the fact that they've cut most of their PvE promises, I still love this game a lot. It had been a few months since I last played it, but the new Invasion update got me excited to play once again.

There are many things to know about this update. A new Support Hero named Illari who is a damage-focused healer and uses her solar abilities to both provide high damage and also heal teammates. Story missions, Battle Pass, an event, and most importantly a new game mode.

The new mode is called Flashpoint and it is highly reminiscent of Call of Duty's famed moded Hardpoint.

Randomized control points, called Flashpoints, unlock different and unique strategies. Each time a Flashpoint is captured, the next immediately unlocks for non-stop action. Capture three before your opponents, and you’ll win the match!

Flashpoint is hosted on two brand new maps, Suravasa and New Junk City. The maps are the largest we’ve built for PvP gameplay and offer tons of striking visuals and nods to Overwatch’s history. Suravasa in India is an exotic cityscape with gardens, fountains, and lagoons, and you’ll recognize the map’s connections to our existing lore with Zenyatta and Symmetra. New Junk City, the heart of the Junker’s domain in Australia, goes beyond the gates of Junkertown, where you’ll explore new battle arenas and the salvaged Omnium that the Junkers call home.

Flashpoint is available in Quick Play and can be played exclusively in a limited-time arcade mode starting today. It will be added to the Competitive map pool later once you’ve had a chance to familiarize yourself with its nuances. ^Source

In today's video, I will be playing an intense match of Flashpoint on the beautiful Indian-themed map Survasa. I chose Soldier 76 as my hero. From where I hadn't played for a few months, I wanted to use a character that is very easy to jump back into. As you will see, I totally dominated with my man Soldier 76 and we ended up winning the match.
