'Overwatch' Weekly Brawls, New Map Revealed in Beta

Overwatch’s newest patch brings a new map, weekly brawls and overall gameplay improvements. Route 66 is the third map for Payload mode and features the iconic American highway as a shooting ground. There will be train cars to use as cover alongside stores like ice cream parlors to shoot up.
