I’m betting the proposed “reworks” of both of these maps got threw in the trash because of total laziness or it was just too hard for the devs to do so It was easier to scrap it. 
Crazy how we get new deathmatch maps. Yeah sure competitive maps have to have finer tuning to be fair but It’s reworking existing maps moving things around. Cutting, copying and pasting.
With OW2 on the far far far faaaaar horizon(thankyou) It’s far easier to demolish and move on right?
Actually they already confirmed they were scrapped, bc assault won’t be a core gameplay mode in the sequel
reworks planned until they decided to do away with 2cp…at which point why bother reworking them for 2cp…
they still havent revealed what 2cp is being replaced with so id be curious to know what will happen with anubis, volskaya and hanamura
The Push map type is technically its replacement. Expect to see Assault maps used in the upcoming PVE Hero Missions mode.
I certainly hope they make a Hammond and Winston mission “escape from HLC”
more likely the fact 2cp is getting deleted anyway so why bother continuing to invest resources into 2 map reworks for a mode thats getting gone
They seemed to hint in the Reddit AMA that the 2cp maps would be used for some other yet-unannounced gamemode.
No point reworking Paris/HLC for 2cp if 2cp.is going away and further changes might be needed.
Gotta love people drawing conclusions about things they are completely clueless about.
You knew that Paris and HLC were being reworked and yet somehow missed the major nugget of information from ages ago that 2CP isn’t gonna be supported as a main mode in OW2…?
Right, but it’s been heavily implied that there will be a new mode to directly replace 2CP that will reuse the assets of those maps.
HLC has been find ever since it’s initial rework imo, idk what else more it needs.
Very high chance the entire game mode is scrapped come OW2 so why bother wasting resources on the only two maps that aren’t even in Competitive.
Well they did mention yet another game mode so was thinking that
Do you have a source of information on this. It’s not in my notes.
oh they absolutely said something about a mode other than push…i cant recall exactly where though…
Edit - Managed to find this though i still dont think this is the particular quote i was thinking of
In addition to Push, the team is currently working through introducing an additional new game mode to Overwatch 2. We don’t have any details we’re ready to share just yet, but we can’t wait to share more ahead of the Overwatch 2 launch. During the livestream, we also confirmed that the Assault (known colloquially as “2CP”) will be leaving the Competitive playlist in Overwatch 2, to be replaced with a new game mode. We intend to still have the existing Assault maps available for play in some capacity (Custom Games, etc) with the release of Overwatch 2.

As far as the new mode goes, this is the quote I was thinking of (Though Baja’s link above is definitely a more direct confirmation)

“Don’t think of it as reworking the existing maps, but more like using the assets and go from there, “there could be an Anubis map in a new gamemode, set on the other side of the pyramid”
I don’t speak French though so can’t personally verify that one.
i don’t understand how map reworks are hard.
u have the map editor and u have the map ppl (new hires since kanez).
they must know the workflow and tools by now.
it’s a rework not a newbuild.
assets and skinning lighting etc is already done
I think people are already running that mission, at the beginning of the match. 
It has been confirmed a long time ago that 2 CP will not be part of OW2 and therefore of course they will not invest any time in reworking them.
