He says (posing as a Blizzard exec) @3:44 --
"all of our franchises are based off of other people's games:
Hearthstone -> Magic the Gathering
Starcraft and Warcraft -> Warhammer
Diablo -> Baldur's Gate
Overwatch -> Team Fortress 2"

I can't comment on the first and last. Star/Warcraft being influenced by Warhammer makes sense. Diablo being influenced by Baldur's Gate... Not so much (I'd even disagree with saying Diablo as a *franchise* being influenced by BG as a *franchise*, ignoring the timing issue of original Diablo vs original BG).

I too was disappointed with Diablo not being "RPG enough" compared to, say, the Ultima series. But once I got past that, I actually had a lot of fun with it (and Diablo 2).

*promote this. Sort of reminds me of a Blizzard take on Team Fortress 2...

or, in microsoft speak 'A data-holding subsystem holding instructions executable by a logic subsystem is provided. The instructions are configured to output a primary image to a primary display for display by the primary display, and output a peripheral image to an environmental display for projection by the environmental display on an environmental surface of a display environment so that the peripheral image appears as an extension of the primary image.'

Neat, but it would have been nice if they had included the early versions. It is the refinements that happened during those early tweaks that made this such a classic and influential map!
At the very least, the original 2fort map should have been included, as well as 2fort4, the map that made Team Fortress a hit.

...oh how I miss that single hallway of death leading to the map room. *sigh*, back when strategy used to be part of the game.

I was half expecting a Team Fortress 2 video when I read the title.

I love Team Fortress but I have never been able to pull myself away from 2Fort.
You know how I did it? After playing 2Fort for god knows how many hours, I just forbid myself from ever playing it almost a year ago or more, I don't even remember. Whenever the server is currently playing 2Fort or the next map is 2Fort, I disconnect, simple as that. Changed my life.
