A lot of old maps are unable to be played in overwatch 2 quickplay like Temple of Anubis, Volskaya Industries, Hanamura, Paris, Horizon lunar colony,
And somehow I couldn’t see Numbani too even though it does not belong to assault mode!

The maps u mentioned are 2cp. 2cp is gone from almost all modes except in workshop…
Certain maps like Havana, Rialto & Numbani however are missing

That’s very unfortunate. I’m salty enough that the 2 CP maps were removed from the game.

I think they are currently reworking Havana and Rialto because they can be sniper-heavy maps, and there needs to be more cover because there is only one tank.
Assault/2CP is disabled permanently except in certain arcade and custom games.
Numbani and Blizzard World I’m unsure of. They probably haven’t finished reworking the maps for 5v5 as well.
Nothing has been announced about the payload maps that are missing. Either they’re not ready for OW2 yet, or they’re part of some kind of map rotation.

People asked for it and blizz delivered. However i think 2cp should be readded in all modes except for comp & reward players who play from start to end.

That reward would be an implicit acknowledgement that they know the players would rather not be playing it.

Okay besides numbani i see no issues here
Yes, but watch them repackage old maps as “new” with minimal changes for the seasons between hero releases.

I’m so confused what they did at this company for the past 3 years, besides bothering women.
Toronto has been basically finished since 2019, if you look up any early OW2 footage.

Working on the PVE mainly.
WAIT, Rialto and Havana are gone?!

pve was there main focus the past few years while PvP was put together last minute using pieces of PvE.
it’s probably the reason not all the maps work either, they’re being made for PvE but aren’t even presentable for PvP. In some of the existing maps you can see PvE assets in the reflections despite them not being there, so there’s some overlap for sure.

They also decided to change lightening all maps but instead of them being addition they replaced old lighting so now your stuck with inferior map versions.

dunno why but yes they’re gone too !
That’s what I read everywhere as well. Then they say it will be out in 2023. Then they say it will be only a single episode like archives. I’m just concerned because it was not part of the beta, not even a video of functional gameplay exists. They are not working on something like a Destiny2, OW pve maps have been so far very simple scripted maps that don’t take 3 years development.

making upgrades paths and new abilities for all 30+ existing heroes it more work than making new ones from scratch, we don’t really know the full extent of what they’ve done sadly other than the fact the monetization model will ensure that the hard work won’t be seen for a while.

Its controversial but 2cp was my favourite game mode so I am really sad to see these maps go. I liked that they took a bit more planning and coordination. You had to go in together and think strategically about how you approach things as opposed to just tricking in shooting wildly with no game plan.

I’m still looking forward to it, but with Jeff leaving mid development I don’t have high hopes that it will be on the scale he pushed for, when something cheap and simple with a battle pass patched on top will do just as good.
