During this year’s annual DICE Summit, Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan discussed lots of aspects related to the team-based shooter during a half-hour talk, including how Blizzard accidentally used the Italian city of Manarola as a reference point for the style and design of the Mexican-themed map known as Dorado. Kaplan explained that Blizzard was sure it wanted to create a map based on a city from Mexico for Overwatch, but the cities it was most familiar with – Mexico City and Tijuana, for instance – were not the right fit for the kind of flair the studio wanted the area to exude, which was that of an open and colorful coastal city....

Specifically, the SOS matchmaking system needs one major fix, and it needs it immediately. While the filter for searches in Monster Hunter World, which allows players to outline exactly what level hunt they want and what monsters they want to slay, is great, there is a major problem if a player fails to join a hunt....
