Like all my favorite maps : temple of anibis, japan, paris, luna. Why?
Are they too fast for 5x5 ? Like 3 minutes match or something?

Forumers complained too much about it and they have a point. That the matches droned on forever and had no point to them, until "push’ came along, which is much worse and aggravating.
Most of what could have been solved is the opening of choke points and the changing of spawn rooms for the attackers. If the second points had closer attack spawn room placement. Most of the issues would have gone away.
2 CP maps were removed from the normal map pool in Overwatch2 as by and large it was mostly disliked by the Overwatch Community.
You however can still find them in arcade every now and then. I believe they go by the name assault maps.

Ow players: we gonna back to the 2017 to play 6x6 and buy that damn pink mercy!
Volskaya Industries wasn’t too bad, since there was quite a few flanking spots. I actually didn’t mind playing on that 2CP map. It was actually quite fun especially on baptiste.
But other 2CP maps like Hanamura had too many chokepoints that you had to get through. And if both of your tanks decide to go off-tank (e.g. zarya + hog) AND also weren’t very good at them at the same time to make up for the free value you get by going shield tank (rein or sigma), it tended to end up in a loss.
The damage from the DPS was very high back in OW1. So you really couldn’t afford to go duo off-tanks especially against double shield on maps that have nothing but chokepoints with little to no flanking spots.
P.S. - Wrecking ball + zarya was fine, since WB could easily bypass the chokepoint full of damage and create space. Besides WB was considered main-tank anyways back in OW1. The main issue came from unsynergistic off-tank duos like zarya + hog on maps like Hanamura.

They’re perfectly fine.
2CP and KOTH are perfect modes for a fast-paced FPS like Overwatch unlike Escort and Push that are the worst (pushing a slow objective is counterinuitive with the gameplay pace).
Our community just doesn’t understand much about this. Most FPS games with a dynamic experience don’t have objectives to push, it’s always about controlling an area (for a very obvious reason - but this community doesn’t get it, probably not used to playing other FPS much).
If it wasn’t for the toxic community we would still have 2CP up to this day. This game deserved a better community all along.
People whined about hating the mode.
So Blizzard, in their infinite wisdom, got rid of the mode (even tho we were also losing a tank which would go a long way to making the mode better since barrier spamming the chokepoints would no longer be a thing) and replaced it with Push, a mode that people dislike even more, AND in the process caused people to whine more about snipers since we lost a sniper-neutral mode and replaced with a sniper-friendly mode.
Lack of foresight is a Blizzard speciality.
the maps are fine and the stalling at choke points doesn’t really happen in 5v5 anymore. the mode is in the arcade. it’s totally fine and much better than push. since it has been in the arcade on a daily basis and no longer once or twice a week I pretty much play it every day.
i think the arcade map mode thing is weekly. have to wait for the rotation but yea it stinks since those maps are the only ones not in comp/quickplay rotation atm.
be nice if every (map mode) was available at all times in the arcade, oh well 
2cp was so fun last week and i love playing sombra on 2cp. even won a 4v5 game. didnt even know it was 4v5 till i watched the replay
God damn you ruined them. That wasn’t even fair 
They removed 2CP because fighting next to spawn room resulted in never-ending fights, and they added Push. So they removed a mode where you fight a lot and added a mode where you walk a lot, wp Blizzard some very smart people I bet.
And guess what, the same complainers saw Push in the trailer, said “this is the best mode so far”. OW2 releases, “BRING BACK 2CP AND REPLACE PUSH”. SAME complainers

I thought I was the only one that liked 2CP and hated Push.
Definitely not.
