{{Infobox map | name = Hollywood | image = HollywoodNight.png | type = [[Hybrid]] | location = {{flag|us}} [[Los Angeles]], [[United States]] | terrain = Various movie sets }} '''Hollywood''' is a [[Hybrid]] [[map]] in ''[[Overwatch]]''. One of the 12 maps included in the game's release on 24 May 2016. [[File:Hollywood Theme 1.ogg]] [[File:Hollywood Theme 2.ogg]] == Hollywood (Halloween) == Released during the [[Halloween Terror]] 2016, this version of the Hollywood map is only playable during the Halloween Terror event. [[File:Halloween Hollywood.png|thumb|right|Hollywood during Halloween.]] [[File:Hollywood (Halloween) Theme.ogg]] ==Official Description== Welcome to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, California, where palm trees and fancy cars line the streets, and movie stars, directors, and high-powered studio executives rub shoulders for a chat and a drink at Galand's. Down the street from the Mandarin Theatre, Goldshire Studios' omnic film auteur, HAL-Fred Glitchbot, has created his two latest films, ''They Come from Beyond the Moon'' and ''Six-Gun Killer'', to varying amounts of critical and commercial acclaim. However, even Tinseltown has been gripped by anti-omnic sentiment, and the outspoken director has become a prime target in the escalating conflict.<ref>''[[Overwatch Visual Source Book]]''</ref> ==Gameplay== The 'payload' in the map is [[HAL-Fred Glitchbot]], an [[omnic]] director. The map starts off in the Hollywood boulevard, then moves on to [[Goldshire Studios]]. Numerous studio sets are passed through.<ref>2015-11-07, [http://overwatch.blizzplanet.com/blog/comments/overwatch-whats-new-summary Overwatch: What’s New | Summary]. ''Blizzplanet'', accessed on 2015-11-10</ref> ==Known Locations== *Goldshire Way **Sunset Place **Galand's *Hollywood Boulevard ** [[Babylon Hotel]] ** [[Goldshire Studios]] ***Dughan Commissary ***Stage 7 (backlot set for ''[[Six-Gun Killer]]'') ****Pioneer Hotel ****Fourth National Bank of the West ****Saloon ****County Jail ***Stage 9 (sound stage for ''[[They Came From Beyond The Moon]]'') == Strategy == {{stub-section}} === Attack === At the setup of the game, have any snipers or Junkrat take the side exit. From here these characters can go up the stairs and snipe/blow up enemies. Have your tanks and healers at the main entrance (a Reinhardt is recommended since there isn't much cover) though healers can choose to take the side door if wanted, since many characters go for the healer first. Attack and defense can go either way, but keep mostly everyone at the main entrance to draw the enemy team's attention off the healers or snipers on the side. === Defense === Usually you should have a strong backline on the first point. The best place to set up your snipers is usually the building to your right. Also, having tanks such as Roadhog, Reinhardt and D.Va is strongly recommended. ==Trivia== *In the attackers' spawn, a loop of part of the [[Cinematic Trailer]] can be heard, with [[Winston]]'s roar being audible along with [[Tracer]]. This audio can also be heard in [[Busan]]. *Some of the names in the stars placed in the 'Walk of Fame' of this map are references to other Blizzard games: **The names [[Olaf Stout]], [[Erik Swift]] and [[Baleog Fierce]] refer respectively to Olaf "the Stout", Erik "the Swift" and Baleog "the Fierce", main characters of ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_Vikings The Lost Vikings]''. **The name [[Samuel Drest]] appears also as a playwright in the description of the two-handed flail [http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/The_Mortal_Drama The Mortal Drama], a weapon in ''Diablo III''. **[[Olivia Rai]] is also listed. **[[HAL-Fred Glitchbot]] is listed, a possible play on the name "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Hitchcock Alfred Hitchcock]," an acclaimed English film director who moved to Hollywood in 1939. *In the real-world Hollywood Boulevard, a giant action figure of [[Tracer]] was displayed as part of the pre-release promotion for ''Overwatch''.<ref>2016-05-20, [http://blizzardwatch.com/2016/05/20/giant-overwatch-action-figures-appear-around-globe/ Giant Overwatch action figures appear in Hollywood, Paris, Busan]. ''Blizzard Watch'', accessed on 2016-05-21</ref> *[[D.Va]] appears on the ''[[Hero of My Storm]]'' movie posters in the waiting rooms under her real name Hana Song. [[File:Hollywood Victory Theme.ogg]] *Unlike every other map in Overwatch, Hollywood has a unique victory theme played with the regular one, it is also played with a movie reel sound effect and a highpass filter to make it sound more old-timey. Additionally, the screen has a scratchy film overlay and is turned to sepia *The idea for the map came around when the developers looked to set a map within the US. [[Jeff Kaplan]] and [[Chris Metzen]] decided to set the map in Hollywood. The map is more of a fantastical representation of Hollywood than a realistic one—very few people in the environmental art team have ever been to Hollywood (due to their international points of origin), so the map ended up how they imagined Hollywood to be rather than how it actually was. However, they were sent to Hollywood for a day so they could get an idea of what a Hollywood backlot looked like.<ref name = "DICESummit">2017-02-23, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGHfF1U8kg4 D.I.C.E Summit 2017 | Overwatch | Jeff Caplan (Stream with chat)].
