Right. Just a series of hallways. All fights are head to head. Nobody flanks in Overwatch.
Peripheral vision isn't at all advantageous.
But they are. There is no horizontal FOV one could reasonably play well with while getting both a good view all the way down a flanking corridor and the entirety of the main lane.
Even the flanks are hallways, and being able to see a few more degrees won't help if you aren't seeing in a full 180, which no one could play well with anyway.
Also, tunnel vision really affects you more than you think, and you wouldn't even notice something on the periphery most of the time. Whereas, surround sound is definitely advantageous. Can the people who don't have gaming headphones complain about its support? Because it is a huge advantage with this sound design.
