Overwatch Developer Update: Let's Talk Netcode!

by on Apr 05, 2016

Tim Ford and senior engineer Philip Orwig discuss netcode in Overwatch—including the team's core programming values and known issues

In a newly released developer video, Blizzard have discussed at length (just shy of 20 minutes) details behind their netcode, programming and improvements that are due based on community feedback. I have to admit much of the content is over my head and as far as I'm concerned, as long as my movement and shooting in game reflects my input accurately, everything else I'll leave to the experts. Take a listen to the video below, it's interesting and confusing at the same time.
