Nice to finally see it released. I figured there wouldnt be a skin challenge given how close it releases to the halloween event (which itself will have 3) and there is usually a full week gap between events of any sorts. I guess there is the fact the mccree event got delayed but also that they really are trying to put all of their eggs in the overwatch 2 basket rn.
as an Italian user, I love the map both as a geographical reference and as a tactics of the variety of environments. I admit that I would have liked a challenge on it more, but it still seems a good quality to me.
as for the āTalon things teasersā ā¦ somewhat disagree on this mystery. or rather, I would have preferred some greater detail rather than spreading other misteries, right?

While different portions of the map favor certain heroes, the overall aim, says Thomas, āwas to try and create a rock-paper-scissors balance with the flying, hitscan, and flanking heroes.ā This forces players to consider if the risks outweigh the potential rewards: Is utilizing a flanking route near a sheer drop worth a potential Concussive Blast thatāll send you spiralling to your death? Should you take flight in an area that provides good line-of-sight to shoot down your enemies, but also gives them the ability to shoot straight back?
Gotta say, this was done amazingly well back when I played it on PTR.

I really hoped it was Reaperās safehouse.
Since they already teased there will be more Reaper lore in the future.
It would have been fitting so perfectly, since Reaper killed Antonio (from Italy)
Since Reyes looked into the case, when he was still active for Blackwatch, he eventually learned about the safehouse and took it later over.

I tried, I like it, really beautiful map, love the environment, the background, even the music of this map is good, the building are also gorgeous, especially the church, so much details, also won my first map at my first try, got a lot of fun. You did a great job, Overwatch team, keep going. And I hope one day weāll see a free for all map located at either Montreal or Quebec City, these 2 map in Canada have what it takes to be a free for all map. And beside, Montreal is the second largest and second most populated city in Canada, so I feel like Montreal should be a Payload Map or a Free for all Map.
But yeah, I love Malevento. Good job Overwatch Team.

Or actually making a talon underground base with a giant window to the cliffside. Idk, if this is it, itās overwhelmingly disappointing and boring. Is this the map quality we have to expect for OW2? Because if thatās the case, itās incredibly lazy and lacking of creativity. By far one of the worst maps lore-wise, that ātalon baseā doesnāt tell anything. You could switch it for emptiness and it would tell the same lore.
Whatās the lore in this again? A car blueprint and a computer with no info at all?
Disappointing and lazy development. After 1 MONTH OF PTR nonetheless.

rather disagree actually. the technical level that allows you to act in different compaction styles is incredibly broad.
it is assumed that something has gone wrong with the general publication of this map. not so much on the creative level but on the narrative level (above all the ācoincidenceā of so much mystery following the lawsuit on McCreeās name and the delays due to the conversion of the name).

Itās a map thatās really designed with FFA in mind, the amount of areas you can flank around, combined with verticality and holes that you can slip around gives a real fun area. The map is also not that large and you can find a fight very easily (As compared to Petra.).
Overall, it feels like one of the better FFA maps so far. Kanezaka was fun but Malevento takes it to a whole level.

You expected to much for Blizzard to make somewhat engaging lore nah we just got characters with little to no depth because that is what everyone loves.
