Great great no more PVE 
, so now that we’ve been officially told for awhile now. I was wondering or I haven’t been in the loop but isn’t the archives event usually out by now? Just enable all the Archive, retribution modes and throw back in the other levels for the missions we bought earlier and call it done. But leave the modes in as a playable side option for all to enjoy if they so choose. Using all characters etc, that’s already more than enough fun with assets all ready in the game. if there’s players great if not great the computer controls the teammates.

Archives was pve, they said no more pve and they meant it, it sucks but that’s just how it is.
Either
- The transfer to OW2 broke the missions somehow
- The PvE flopped so hard that it would be humiliating to bring the archives missions back

Or they were searching for a way to monetize it until the story missions turned out to be a flop.

Archives is never coming back.
They removed it for the Invasion missions to entice you into paying for them instead of playing the free PVE you already had.

They could just add it to the missions tab…
Add it to the invasion pack so that the people who already have it can play it a lot.
Then announce “free” weekends where there’s always one of the archives or invasion missions to play for free.
It would slightly revitalize the missions, even if only for one map per weekend.
They could add an all heroes mode to the invasion missions too. To add “content”. And maybe silly challenge modes like the molten cores and stuff for the “free” weekends.

Making it so Archives was always available in a paid bundle would only add onto the joke that is OW2’s PVE. The backlash is not something I imagine they feel like dealing with
That’s why i think a rotation of free to play weekends would alleviate that. That way people could play the modes every once in a while if they don’t want to pay for them, but if they want to support overwatch, they’ll pay for it.
And that way there would be a small influx of players in the mode sometimes.
oh please two years and people still think ow2 is a new engine, is the same outdated engine, thats why you can play lucio ball again, they didnt need to transwer everything to a new engine because there is no new engine, new engine for what? the pve that was cancelled? delete one tank? if ow2 really were a new engine they should had to make the whole game again, you think the develoeprs who couldnt make a single story mission can make a new game again? you know why duke nukem forever took 12 years to be relased? because they keep changing engines
