There are more significant changes as well, like Doomfist being moved from DPS to tank roles, whilst keeping a lot of the same kit with some tweaks. There are smaller changes like Cassidy’s flashbang being removed, or changes to Sombra to reduce the amount of CCs in the game. To cater to the new player count in Overwatch 2, there had to be changed to some of the heroes.
Also, there are curiously some more missing maps from the game. Whilst not the most popular mode, it did have some standouts within Overwatch. For better or for worse, however, the Control mode and all associated maps have been removed. This is probably the most open maps we’ve had so far, with plenty of pathways and shortcuts to get to the combat zones quicker, which helps considering the maps are massive compared to normal payloads.
Think of it as a two-way payload where both teams are battling over a single cart that goes back and forth. With this in mind is the new Push game mode. A breath of fresh air in a game that at times felt stale. No more of these standstill moments between two teams at a chokepoint. Removing one of the tanks has essentially removed all those awkward standstill moments that plagued Overwatch, where everyone would just bunker down behind two shields. First of all, they removed one of the tanks making it a one tank, two damage and, two healer team composition. Whilst this sounds like a minor change on the surface it has a significant impact on the gameplay experience. The biggest change is lowering the player count from 6v6 to 5v5.
Quake rocket arena update#
The best way to think of it right now is as a 2.0 update rather than a fully-fledged sequel. So what is actually different in Overwatch 2 and is it a glorified update? For the most part, it is an update, but a pretty significant one. Thanks to its amazing roster of diverse heroes that appeal to many playstyles, it was really easy to dive into and I kept coming back to it. I even went on to review the surprising Switch version that came out. Very few of them managed to get that same feeling across as Overwatch though. It paved the way for the new generation of hero shooters that will eventually come to oversaturate the market. When Overwatch launched way back in 2016 it was a game changer.
