Ryan Smith reports in for a forward recall as Flashpoint gets ready to pop off with map reworks in Overwatch 2’s Season 17 mid-cycle.
Are they even coming to 6v6? You guys do realize Atlantis is not available in the main game, yet, right?!
Why did they just make a post linking to a 2 week old blog post?
Can’t wait to try out the map reworks!
this actually got fixed in todays patch
Maps will still suffer from “not being escort”….i doubt much will change
Oh, well, this is awkward…
Um, thank you, Blizzard.
Today is not mid-cycle
People here think they aren’t working on stuff. They need to do something to remind them the devs are busy.
nobody likes flashpoint, your stupid worthless “reworks” dont fix the fundamentall flaws of that mode, to fix this crap you have to make maps a lot smaller, so make them again from scratch, remove the 5 rounds and make it 3, then put a time limit. maybe the mode will be better, not good, but better, adding a stupid staircase on the middle part of the maps where you dont contest the points will solve nothing
how to make your players happy: make more escort/hybrid maps
rather than the exact opposite
I may start to like flashpoints.
I think that they nailed what i dislike in these maps.
I’m very hopefull this time.
(They look much better too… At least to me…)
Not all players. I’ll take Flashpoint over Escort modes every game they come up.
People hate flashpoint. Everyone votes against it. No one cares about this, Ryan.
now i fear i have to take that back, blizzard apparently removed that change from the patch notes now. guess it wasn’t fixed

Payload rework to fit 5v5, when ?
i miss playing the game. but im not going to play it because i dont like the ethics behind this company anymore. sorry.
payloads are my life.
capture points arent…
gl staff! best wishes. hope for the best!
and you’ll get to play it about 1/10th as much as you did before with the new map voting system
because you’ll be the only one voting for it
Yes. Map voting is my most disliked change to the game in nine years.
NO ONE LIKES THIS CRAP!!! None of us! Why??
Because these maps are too big and unreadable! OW is an arena based fps. Take a look how are not used some areas in other maps and here we have a variable 3CP but with plenty dead areas! This is also a reason why people love Kings row - because its the only map where every single square cm is used and can be used by any hero. Compare KR to Dorado: who except Ball uses 3rd mega on attack (next to 2nd spawn)?? The final point also. Its so straight forward that none uses the window next to last mega or very far right flank… and flash maps are 70% these dead areas!
