But by essentially disabling the first Overwatch, Blizzard is fucking over people who paid money for the game. It doesn’t matter if they get free content for owning the first game - it doesn’t mean anything if you can’t still play original content you specifically paid for. I don’t care if Overwatch 2 is bigger and badder than ever before! When I buy a game, I’d love to be able to play that game. And if you’re shutting down a game’s online capabilities, at least be honest about it. Don’t talk like you’re doing people some grand favor.
Just because a sequel exists doesn’t mean I don’t want to play the original. When Warcraft 3 came out, I didn’t want Warcraft 2 erased from existence - even if Warcraft 3 had more content. When I play Smash Bros. Ultimate, I don’t wish Nintendo would break every copy of Smash Bros. Melee with their bare hands. Let me repeat that: even when a new game contains all or most of the content of a previous game, that doesn’t mean the previous game should have a bullet put in the back of its head. Especially if there are fundamental differences in the way games play out. Smash. Bros Ultimate may have the content of Melee, but the two feel different.
Hollywood has shined through as one of the most favored Overwatch maps with its neat aesthetic and its insane diversity of elements. From various high-ground perches for snipers to set camp, to moving platforms, to pathways which can be exploited for cheeky flanks, this area has just about everything. The versatility and elaborate nature of Hollywood's corridors and pathways will likely make it a great choice for multiple new modes offered in Overwatch
An all-time classic that is hard to pass up. Team Fortress 2 moved the needle in online shooters when it came to its distinctive characters and focus on completing objectives to take home that chicken din
Toronto is also unique as a map because it introduces a brand-new game Stadium mode known as Push. It involves the team escorting a robot across the map, and the winning team is the one who manages to escort it to the opposition's s
Fans were excited to explore the lunar playground of one of Overwatch 's premiere heroes when it hit the scene as one of the first new stages added to the game. Yet, aside from its cool outer-space theme and its zero-gravity area (which is largely useless anyway), there isn't much this map has going for it. The enclosed region where point B rests is frustratingly tough to capture, and the open, somewhat barren layout of everything makes for a pretty bland experience more often than
Considering we could potentially see the addition of a new Omnic hero, Tekhartha Mondatta (speculation which we base off nothing but our own desires), we might as well get the return of the stage in which he's so prominently featured as a statue, Ne
Yet, the Ruins and Lighthouse portions of Illios also produce some fun battles, as they offer a diversity of higher and ground-level areas, as well as pits, obstructions, and other elements to shake things
Sojourn has been theorized to also join Overwatch again after laying low during its downtime. Her addition as a new hero in Overwatch 2 is perfect since it also marks her return as a member of the Overwatch team. It's likely that the events in Paris serve as an inspiration for her to return to the faction, along with other her
Even getting past the heavy use of Blizzard gimmicks, the layout of the map itself can also be annoying. With its narrow passageways and higher-level paths that criss-cross it, any defending team worth its salt tends to have a huge advantage; especially near the bottleneck that makes up the beginning/Assault portion of the game. The only real advantage for the attackers tends to be the indoor portion at the end - but good luck making it th
Don’t get me wrong - I don’t mind that there’s an Overwatch 2. Hell, I don’t even give a shit that it’s a free-to-play nightmare that’s going to be dominated by kids with rich parents. I work in show business - the entire world is dominated by kids with rich parents. And I respect that in order to keep their esports racket fresh, Blizzard creates new Overwatch content just like how their professional players create new racial slurs.
Omnic Grunts are one of the examples drawn up in the video of Elite enemy types. However, Blizzard's wording here suggests there are other "elite" enemy types to come. Ostensibly, there could be an elite version of almost any Omnic unit we've seen thus
This map is considered a classic for a reason—it's both thematically neat and well-crafted in its overall level design. This Hybrid map possesses all sorts of nooks and crannies for DPS-minded players to take advantage
This bizarre map doesn't have a ton going for it outside of the sort of self-congratulatory Blizzard themes that permeate the area. Once you've gotten past the amusing StarCraft nods and the subtle, cheeky references to The Lost Vikings , there's really not much to love about this st
