Make it 5 or 6 people to fight against waves of omnics with upgrades every wave.
Have different kind of omnics, small ,big , specials and give some rewards when you complete a hard mission ( be it white coins, gold or dare i say…xp multiplier on bp )
You might enjoy “zombie survival missions modded” in the custom games if you haven’t tried it.
It is a 6 player pve with different kinds of objectives with power ups you can pick up and different difficulty settings.
You just have to keep moving or you perish XD
The devs could easily create an official mode like it, with their nullsector assets.
I really don’t get why blizzard never considered a hoarde mode for pve instead of everything being objectives. If you played the 1 “hero mission” they put out you’d see it was delusional that they thought they’d make hundreds, but something like zombies or mvm they could
My guess is they had a lot of success and positive reception from the archives events and rolled with it, and eventually hit a point of sunk cost fallacy.
That said, it does surprise me a bit that they eventually rolled a lot of that work into stadium than a PvE mode like MvM.
Still strange that they never thought to do something like mvm. I mean the original devs took some inspiration from tf2 , pharah and torb for example.
Such a missed opportunity.
Junkenstien’s revenge proves a horde mode works. They could just drop the horde mode wit hall the PVE enemies they made to date (the Archives ones, the OW2 PVE ones, JR’s ones) and the mode would be a hit over night.
Tie some rewards points to it, maybe add upgrades OR buyable weapons like in Black Ops Zombies, and that’d really expand the mode.
I’m fine, as long as the money’s worth it. You’re basically paying money for guaranteed items. I got a spycicle on my first Mann Up mode completion and from then I saw the vision. You see, I’m willing to pay if I think its worth it; I actually bought two battle OW2 battle passes because I completed them and like what was in them. But it has to be worth it.
Also, MVM has a free mode, and I assume OW2’s MVM copy would have a free mode.
They won’t. A mount in World of Warcraft sold better than Starcratf 2 and now Kiriko skins are doing the same, so why bother with a big PvE mode? We can’t even get Archives modes back and you want something new?
It’s hard and time-consuming enough to not be worth it when you can recolor an OW1 skin for much less.
