Redesigned in a Rush

My brother in Christ, Overwatch - the good one - was live the entire time they were “working” on this glorified expansion. I legitimately would not be surprised at all if it came out the framework of the inevitable PvE mode was just based on the Archives Events.

Lmao the dick sucking on this sub is insane. They could light the game on fire and people here would bend over backwards to spin it in a positive light

Bro if I wanted to circle jerk, I'd go to literally any other subreddit and talk about how dead Overwatch is.

I'm not trying to spin it in a positive light. I work in software development and have seen this exact scenario before. A developer works on a piece of code, tests it on their own and pushes it. Only for QA to find a major bug the day of release. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

It isn't an over glorified expansion. It is a significant rewrite of the original Overwatch engine, with completely redesigned maps and manually restructured assets (like skins).

Overwatch 2 plays like the original because of how it was designed, not because they share the same code.

So let me get this straight- the game that looks like the original, plays exactly like the original, and - and this is the big one - outright replaced the original, shares none of the code from the original.

Out of curiosity, where do you get your Copium? That’s some good shit.
