    Valorant - 5v5 Tactical Hero Shooter - 2020

    Project A will be a character-based tactical shooter, according to Riot, which sounds like it would land it somewhere between games like Overwatch and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Characters will have unique abilities along with the guns and weapons you would expect from a shooter. It’s unclear what the objectives might be like in-game, or how many players will be on each team. It seems like the focus of Project A will be on competitive multiplayer modes.

    The world of Project A isn’t based in the League of Legends universe. The game’s world appears to be realistic and set on Earth. There weren’t many extra story details from Riot’s stream, but it does appear that the art style for the game will also move away from League of Legends’ more fantastical graphics.

    Since I'm fps-dumb, what is the difference between OW and CS, where this would be?

    Overwatch is a hero shooter with fantasy based mechanics, CS is based closer to reality. So this would be a hero shooter without the fantasy mechanics.

    Summer 2020
    Here’s what we think it takes for you to trust a game enough to invest: 128-tick servers, at least 30 frames per second on most min-spec computers (even dating back a decade), 60 to 144 FPS on modern gaming rigs, a global spread of datacenters aimed at <35ms for players in major cities around the world, a netcode we’ve been obsessing over for years, and a commitment to anti-cheat from day one.

    Shooting in VALORANT is precise, consequential, and highly-lethal - we want you to win on your skill and strategy alone.

    Imagine this: tactical shooter meets hypernatural powers. Everyone’s got guns and a unique set of abilities, so how do you beat someone with the speed of wind? Use your own moves to outplay them and beat them to the shot. VALORANT is a game for bold strategists who dare to make the unexpected play, because if it wins, it works.

    Heads up: if you install the BETA, it installs a rootkit anti-cheat program that runs 100% of the time. If you uninstall the beta, the rootkit still exists and runs 100%.

    You can remove it from control panel though, but not through settings apps & features. I think I read you can rename a file to disable it temporarily, and it'll re-activate only when you launch the game again.
