Similarities Between PvZ: BfN and Overwatch!
Hey everyone, Throughout my time on this forum, I have occasionally seen players stating that BfN is similar to the game Overwatch from Blizzard Entertainment. You know, such as PvZ: BfN = PvZ Overw...

@stukapookaI hear you. In both GW games and BfN, we have 'Capture the taco stand' and 'capture the secret cabin'. In OW, it's 'capture point A'. I can barely tell OW maps apart without seeing specific things like Cherry Trees on Hanamura, in GW 1, 2 and BfN, all the maps have their own flavor, even if some are similar to each other, no one is going to mix Tourist Trap Island with Peachy District!
All these games share some similarities for sure, and some of the OW/BfN parallels are more blatant than others (engineer and Junkrat is a big one). I do like BfN more than OW, that's for sure. But I liked it better when the GW games stood out further from the pack.
@Iron_Guard8 Yeah the maps really stood out from overwatch's bland future settings: like its the future but thats about it, no interesting spins on classic areas and touring the world isnt special anymore in games( tf2 already did most of this stuff, even space), I mean we fought through time and space in gw2 which opened the doors for ideas of endless creativity for maps and its a shame bfn kinda took a step back in that regard, yet they're still unique at least in setting.
- @stukapooka Personally, I think the maps are one of gw2’s flaws. I like the maps in BfN and gw1 way more.
@benn1nat0rI respect your opinion and like gw1 maps the most (gw1 turf, gw2 non turf) but in my opinion bfn maps sucked absoulte balls in terms of design, verticality, and sense of scale
I like GW1's the most, and 2's a close second overall. Frontline Fighters in GW2 is one of the best maps I've seen ever. BfN's TT maps are a little less exciting to play on although my least favorite map is Time Park in GW2, way too easy to camp in certain modes.
BfN maps feel more 'normal' than the others as while the characters are more cartoony, the world is less so (just look at the cars and vans in the 3 games to see what I mean), and less exciting for me.
Edit: And while I don't hate pushing payloads, there's too many of them in BfN.
