Crucible!

Play 3 game modes!
Heart of the Hives
Hives are lethal drone-spitting terrors that spawn across the battlefield. Capturing the hearts they leave behind as they die is your key to victory. Each match is a four-on-four fight to be the first team to capture three hearts.
Alpha Hunters
There are no safety nets in Alpha Hunters: once you fall in combat, that's it. Eight teams of two fight to be the last team—or solo hunter—standing. If your teammate dies, you can form a temporary alliance with another hunter, but that temporary truce will be broken if both of you make it to the final three.
Harvester Command
Essence harvesters are scattered across Crucible's surface. Each one you control generates Essence points for your eight-player team. Each harvester your enemies hold will cancel out your own. You’ll need to control a majority of harvesters in order to rack up any Essence—the more, the better. You can also take out enemy hunters for points. The first team to 100 points wins!
Choose from 10 different hunters!
Play the game by June 1st and get 1,000 Crucible Credits, enough to buy a season pass!

Edit: I should say I've only played heart of the hive.
Reminds me of other 3rd person moba/shooters like Gigantic

But man does it feel good to just get in the middle of a group of guys with Drek send just cause havoc with my axe
didn't know they revealed it before
your typical gaming media has written articles and i think they are sponsoring a bunch of prominent twitch streamers to play it

It's almost like amazon has no idea how to sell a new product.
I've really been digging Tosca, even if I'm still garbage at actually hitting people with her shotgun consistently. The comparison to Gigantic feels apt, it has a similar feel, which to me is a plus, that was possibly my favourite competitive game period. You know. Before it died. I almost wish this were an Ubisoft game, at least then I'd feel confident it wouldn't be abandoned the moment it's not the next big thing.
I do wish even a single of the friends I play with was into PVP games (MtG aside), solo queue makes for swingy matches and Alpha Hunters is a complete crapshoot. My Tosca keeps getting paired with Bugg and a team with no burst damage just does not work in that mode.
This video sums up my thoughts in the last play session:

Its more of a multi-month old dead game.
So many devs left Guild Wars 2 for... this.
Amazon Studio's batting 0-2 so far, maybe 0-3 with New World. I think there may be some problem at the top.
I mean, to be blunt... GW2 is not exactly a shining paragon of game design by any means. Not compared to the lofty hights of GW1, and as i understand it, Anet lost most of the GW1 developers on the way to GW2.

Look, they never brought back Bunny-Thumpers and that's criminal.
(For those curious: Back in GW1, Multiclassing was an inherent thing. A popular build was Ranger/Warrior using Hammers, and Ranger's hammer animation had them... hop. For some reason.

Word from my man on the inside is that the Dev teams over at Amazon have Infinity Budget and very little oversight BUT none of the teams have a strong creative director at the helm. It is all, mostly, design by committee and a reactionary one at that.
