I don’t understand why they can’t tweak assault maps
I know they can be annoying, but to lose a whole bunch of core maps from main game in OW2 just feels wrong.
Some actually enjoy maps like Anubis and just feels huge failing in design if they have to remove them instead of tweaking
After carrying out many failed experiments in an effort to try and fix them, they determined that it’d be better to stop wasting resources and work on new gamemodes.
Seems a shame. It is what it is I guess.
The majority do not like 2cp. They have tried with map changes, changing the mode slightly through a failed experiment then let us try. And I’m sure they tested more internally, not like they would just want to scrap a mode and many maps.
Only saw 1 experimental lol
Yes sure, they did talk a lot about other experiments they did, but
None of them fixed the problem where
Point A gives plenty of advantage for the attackers
Point B gives plenty of advantage for the defenders
Reason: Spawn being too close/far
True, this needed Map reworks to fix, but they could also have just put obstacles to make it harder to reach the point rather than having to physically move the spawn back and add streets or whatever
Also in maps like paris, there’s only 1 choke with no viable flank route without going through it, and horizon, where the enemy has free highground and you have nothing
Do they have a date on when 2cp will get removed? Or will it happen with OW2?
Yeah it’s an OW2 thing. They probably wanna wait until they have a mode to replace it so.
I will miss Hanamura
The only one that I was okay with getting. And even then it had its issues
No one is going to miss that cancer Anubis but it’s going to be a nostalgia map to be remembered in few years.
“Remember that map where you are guaranteed to end up with a draw?”
“But can you win in Anubis against Bastion and Symmetra”?
Well hopefully they bring those locations back in a different map form. I like the Arcade in Hanamura and I always enjoy Volskaya.
The 2CP maps are my favorite, honestly Blizzard just needs to add an option of picking your map rotation to the game, its been 5 years, why do we have to play a random map instead of choosing which one’s we want to play.
The only good 2cp map.
temple of anubis is amazing. it’s a great map for widow. what other maps are getting removed? just 2cp or others?
I still think, that 2cp should be left at least as separated mode in arcade.
Even if it would take as much effort as building a new map, I hope these maps get purposed for other modes eventually. Even if 2CP isn’t a fantastic game-mode, there’s no denying that Temple of Anubis, Volskaya Industries, and Hanamura are all classic and iconic maps to the game. Two cinematics take place on them! Even though exploring new locations is great I think we’d be missing out a lot on a classic feel if those maps just aren’t present at all in OW2.
2cp needs to be removed. There is no other way around (except for maybe let them stay in arcade).
There is nothing worse than waiting 10 min with priority pass and than getting Paris on defense.
Not entirely, Paris, slightly Anubis minus short spawn, and Horizon were pretty defence favored giving them full high ground advantage and all the sightlines.
Im glad they will be gone.
Slightly concerned if they dont think the new mode through and push another trash mode into comp…
I, on the other hand, am happy to see them go.
