    thx blizzard for making us wait 4 years for nothing. Oh, I have an idea how about putting number 2 on the game and making skins 20$ to milk the stupid player, the casuals, and the kids. ......what? an old fans and players who pay 60$ to the game and support us? screw them!!!

    the sad part is that there are players non-gamers who pay stuff like **** He simply don't give a **** that

Not to mention lying AGAIN by saying that you wouldn't be needing your Overwatch 1 coins for Overwatch 2 and to spend them while you still can. NEWSFLASH, you can get items easily with the Overwatch 1 coins, it's almost as if they made us all waste our coins from Overwatch 1 to use their NEW CURRENCY that you have to pay REAL MONEY for! Overwatch does NOT need to have live service BS implemented into it and definitely does NOT need to be pay to win. Overwatch is the kind of game where you switch heroes to counter the enemy team which is exactly WHY heroes should NOT be LOCKED behind a PAY-WALL for this particular game! If you haven't bought the battle pass to get a certain character that is powerful/broken, guess what, YOU LOSE! FUN!!! BATTLE PASS DIFFERENTIAL!!! This really used to be something special back in 2016-2017 and they just pissed all over its iconic glory. This just goes to show that companies can VERY EASILY kill off a franchise by being greedy corporate scumbags. No wonder Jeff from the Overwatch Team left. Rip Overwatch 2016-2022, ruined and desecrated by Activision Blizzard. TF2 here I come! Expand

    I've never played Overwatch 1 but my friends were always praising this game so when I heard Overwatch 2 was free I got interested to download and play it but it wants me to give them my phone number and I'm never gonna support such practices. In the end I did not give them the number, guess I'm never gonna play this game.

    As someone who played this game since 2016 i have to say that this game isnt exactly bad but its the most dissappointing, disrespectful, infuriating game sequel i have ever played in my life, they literally cut off 2 years of an update cycle to work on this game and what do we get?
    A recycled garbage with battle pass seasons and insanely expensive microtransactions.
    For example Overwatch

    A recycled garbage with battle pass seasons and insanely expensive microtransactions.
    For example Overwatch 1 was 20$, now for 20$ on Overwatch 2 all you get is ONE LEGENDARY SKIN THAT WOULD BE FREE TO GET ON OVERWATCH 1!!!!!
    They knew people were gonna hate this game so they decided to close the original game so now if you want to play Overwatch you need to play the sequel filled with microtransactions and overpowered Tanks like Zarya who has 2 **** shields now making her impossible to kill.
    speaking off Tanks you MUST play role queue if your into comp becuase if the enemy team has 3 Tanks and 2 healers then its pretty much game over

    Anyways in conclusion this game is exactly the same but they decided to either ruin the whole purpose of different characters like Mei and Doomfist or make characters super op like Zarya, cant forget about the endless microtransactions aswell which they this season decided to invest in alot for this halloween event then to actually make better servers or a fun to play halloween event

    **** YOU BLIZZARD AND STOP SEXUALLY ASSUALTING YOUR WORKERS FOR ****SAKE AND DEVELOP THE GAME!!!

    Well done blizzard. You cannot enter the game, the game is not displayed in the library and in the store, pay to win mechanics have been added, unrealistically expensive skins, new heroes in the battle pass. We haven't been waiting for this for 3 years without updates in overwatch 1. Disgusting attitude towards a loyal audience.

    it feels like they just changed stuff for the sake of justifying the games existence. like they redid all the interfaces and character designs, but almost all of these changes straight up look worse. it's obvious that the pvp for this game was rushed out the door. the amount of new characters we got is also way less than what we used to get from the free overwatch 1 updates.

    Approximately 20% of players cannot play the game simply due to their phone plan. The developers preached high and mighty ideals of inclusiveness but reneged on their promises the first chance they got. I am not exaggerating that for individuals with certain phone plans this game is quite literally unplayable. Step up blizzard and fix this.

    I played Overwatch for over 500 hours, and I was really hyped for Overwatch 2. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. The credit system is one of the greediest I have seen in a while, they removed fun features for no reason, and the gameplay is just a deathmatch. I can understand the server issues, but I can't understand what Blizzard has been doing for three and a half years on this game.

    It’s been over 36 hours and I haven’t played a single match despite multiple downloads, reinstalls, updates, etc your game is broken and the one I paid for a year ago I can no longer play. Locking ppl out that don’t have name brand cell phone plans. What a terrible company.

    Where to begin?

    Overwatch 2, the sequel to Overwatch 1. They removed a tank slot from the teams (good bye queue times for tank), made a bunch of silly changes in the background to anonymize more players while weaponizing the report system for any SJW's. On top of that transcription of all voice recordings. Gee, wonder why over 15 games only 1 person has spoken in chat. Crazy. How about

They removed a tank slot from the teams (good bye queue times for tank), made a bunch of silly changes in the background to anonymize more players while weaponizing the report system for any SJW's. On top of that transcription of all voice recordings. Gee, wonder why over 15 games only 1 person has spoken in chat. Crazy. How about a scoreboard? Nope, instead of adding that we took away ranks, so you don't even know what you're playing in ranked. Kinda defeats the purpose. Selling the original games cosmetics for tens of thousands of dollars. Jittery frame rates even on low settings, on a $5000 rig. And of course, the "DDOS" attack (not real, they just weren't prepared for what I assume is a very embellished amount of players. None of the core issues of the first game seem to get addressed. Balance is nowhere to be found. Most of the maps are the old maps. New events will be the same events they've recycled since OW1. Oh yeah, do you have a phone with an approved provider? It's the only way we even let you play, even if we stole your copy of OW1 and forced you to download 2 instead. Once you get the phone figured out you pesky poor person be sure to play for dozens of hours to unlock base heroes. If you'd like you can buy our battlepass for fake digital crap. This allows us to milk consumers for more money because we had to circumvent loot box laws (good job going after those in courts, gamers. That sure solved the problem).

    The only thing worse than a bad game is a bad game everyone plays.

    Don't play this POS. It does nothing new enough to even warrant being called a sequel while simultaneously making several things much, much worse.

    Super long queue because a game company did not know a big game release would need game servers to support it.

    Basically took all the core components of OW1 and jettisoned them in favor of a twitchy shooter with more in common with Halo than the original OW. Deeply disappointing. If it was its own thing that wouldn't be so bad, but they sunset OW in favor of this so you've got no other option. Had hundreds of hours into the original. Played the sequel for a day and proceeded to uninstall.

Not to mention the gross monetization system. My crew just became a five stack, and the player roster for new players is so gimped.

    The most greedy developers. Almost any game already has a payback combat pass, immediately you need to buy it every time for real money. What can we say about part 2, this is version 1.2.

AND YOU WANT TO TRUST AND SUPPORT COMPANY THAT LIES BLATANTLY LIKE THIS? Whoever bought diablo 4 - YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!! Whoever buys WOW - YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!

    Do NOT SUPPORT BLIZZARD in any way imaginable!!! LET THE COMPANY ROT AND DIE!!!

    -------------------------------

    I had to create an account here finally just to inform everyone on the state of this game called Overwatch 2.

    Overwatch 2 is a multiplayer online pvp hero shooter game with no anti-cheat system, toxic community and no support.

    Features:
    - There is no anti-cheat in a game that is already infested with cheaters.
    - There are a lot of "smurfs". People who are getting destroyed on their relatively high rank main account so they make a new one and ruin the game for the new players and the casual players.
    - You will get banned for calling out cheaters and smurfs.
    - There are places where the game is flashy or too colorful which is dangerous to some people.
    - The community in the game is incredibly toxic and they are ass-licking the corrupted company that made the game.
    - When you have any issues, the support will not help you.
    - It's essentially the first game, it's even using the same files from the first game.
    - The servers are terrible and you will experience disconnects, queues, connection issues.
    - Unbalanced gameplay. Some heroes are clearly better than others.
    - It's all about the grind. If you want to obtain something in the game you have to play a lot to get it.
    - If you want to obtain something quick, you have to pay money for it.
    - The interface of the game has been made apparently in Paint 3D. They couldn't even put anti-aliasing on the letters. It looks ugly and not made by professionals. The hud is so minimal and simplistic, feels like a game in alpha stage of development made by amateurs.
    - Made for e-sports and nobody cares about e-sports.
    - The promised Single-player Campaign that will come with the game is NOT in the game.
    - The promised new features and cosmetics, better visuals etc. are NOT in the game.
    - The company is milking what's left of the community.
    - The company never listens to the community. All they are inserting into game through updates are cosmetic items, nothing else.
    - You CANNOT play the game unless you give them your phone number for the purpose of SMS verification. Apparently tons of phone service providers have blacklisted blizzard sms verification as spam. In turn blizzard has blacklisted those providers. So you are out of luck if you are using phone provider who has been blacklisted.
    - The company is deleting forum posts that put it in negative light.
    - You will get banned if you speak about all this in-game or on the forums.
    - Will you believe a company who does all of the above? Have they lied about being ddosed? Are they not spending any money on servers and just doing the bare minimum to keep the game running? Have they lied about banwaves? Are cheaters getting banned or are they letting everyone play because there is barely anyone playing? Are they mistreating their employees to keep the pigs in high positions richer and more privileged?

    Let's look at the positives about the game:
    - It's optimized well, it can run on a toaster at this point. But it has to so it can reach as many people as possible.
    - I like Mercy.

    Blizzard has once again showed us how corrupted and corporate they have become. There is no care for the customer or the employees who work hard every day. It's all about making ALL the money to feed the pigs at the top of the company.

    Nobody should be supporting this company or giving them any money.

    First of all, publishers should never discontinue a game the day its sequel launches in an effort to get players to switch over. This alone needs to be rejected by the industry.

    Overwatch 2 was initially advertised as a PvE focused sequel, but somewhere along the development cycle Blizzard decided to instead push out their 5v5 update as the full game, and replacement for Overwatch 1.
    First of all, publishers should never discontinue a game the day its sequel launches in an effort to get players to switch over. This alone needs to be rejected by the industry.

    Overwatch 2 was initially advertised as a PvE focused sequel, but somewhere along the development cycle Blizzard decided to instead push out their 5v5 update as the full game, and replacement for Overwatch 1.

    Upon launch, you are greeted with the new, “shop”, and, “battle pass”, Blizzard's monetization scheme for this title. The battle pass is a $10 recurring subscription which will include new heroes, skins, and eventually PvE. Activision Blizzard seems to really want to generate even more profit from this title.

    5v5 isn't going to be for everyone. The heroes, especially tanks, have been tweaked to deal more damage. The gameplay feels faster paced, more akin to Apex Legends or Fortnite. The sounds feel more like they're trying to hard to be realistic, unlike the more pleasantly futuristic and fun sounds of the first game.

    If you prefer the first game, Blizzard might eventually roll out 6v6 as an arcade mode, but we have no specifics on what abilities will be in that gamemode.

    Disappointingly, Blizzard discontinued the looking for group feature entirely. Global chat has been removed, too. It feels like Blizzard has lost their direction with this.

    SMS Protect has been a total disaster that gatekeeps players with prepaid phones. Blizzard has tweaked this policy to allow players who played Overwatch 1 this year to circumvent it entirely, however new players still need postpaid phone plans. It feels a lot like new players aren't going to enjoy the limitations imposed upon them, because half the hero roster is locked until they unlock them. This, in addition to SMS Protect, might make it annoying for new players to pick up the game. It feels more like a cash grab to get more money out of old players.

    Lastly, Activision Blizzard didn't seem to beef up their server resources in preparation for this launch. All players are stuck in long queues, and console players have to wait exorbitant amounts of time for, “the merge”, of their accounts with Battle.net. There are a plethora of bugs, such as one that removes the skins players had in the first game, and many old players are seeing their hero roster locked, as if they were new.

    0/10, Activision Blizzard. Bring back Overwatch 1, and reclassify Overwatch 2 as an open beta.

    No. I'm sorry but no. A 50bln worth company, with close 20 years of dealing mainly with only games should not have any excuse for horrible launch such as this. It doesn't matter if ddos is involved or not. At this point we have lost several days of a 9 week schedule to level the level a battle pass if anyone is stupid enough to buy. A battle pass for which you get barely any experienceNo. I'm sorry but no.

It's more than clear that the point of all this is to make you pay even more. Where are my cosmetics blizzard? Why is my account entirely blank as if this is the first time I've actually touched the game? When in fact I've been playing from day 1. Why has no one responded to my support ticket for a 3 day? Why am I in cue with 250k people in front of me for account merge considering I've linked my psn and bnet accounts 5 years ago?

    This is just sad. It's sad to see a game company that I grew up with, the one which basically got me into gaming, to see it turning into yet another greedy entity that inevitably collapse on itself. Thank God that this was a f2p, it does help me decide whether or not I will risk any blizzard branded game in the foreseeable future.

    Игра вышла ужасно сырой. Про сетевые проблемы со входом в игру я вообще молчу. Сыграл 5 матчей, только в 1 из 5 матчей я смог нормально поиграть, т.к. в 4 и 5 матчей игра просто зависла и на этом матчи заканчивались. При том, что в игре у меня стабильно 120 фпс. И такая проблема еще у человек 200 на форуме, плюс/минус. За почти 3 года работы над игрой мы получаем вот ЭТО, так еще и без PVEИгра вышла ужасно сырой.

    Thanks to the company blizart for such an attitude to old and new players.
    The progression of the Battel pass is simply terrible. By all the law, when a person buys it and pumps it to the last level. Must receive a currency equal to the amount spent on this batel pass to purchase a new one. But there is no such thing.
    Also, appeals to old players are just the most terrible. Not even

    Overwatch 2 – это небольшой контентный патч для Overwatch. Режим игры 5 на 5 – это ужас. Никакого ритма, все носятся и стреляют, обороняющаяся сторона всегда проигрывает. Зачем вы удалили второго танка из команды, зачем вы удалили щиты? Что прикажите делать: перед матчами есть спиды чтобы успевать за происходящим на экране?

    Overwatch 2 is a free to play game, and I’d definitely recommend trying it out if you haven’t to see how you feel about the gameplay and to see how well it runs on Steam Deck. Despite its flaws, it is still worth playing, but some of the decisions with how certain content has been handled in-game are weird. Overwatch 2 is yet to reach the highs of the original Overwatch, but it is still a great multiplayer game to play on Steam Deck. I enjoyed Overwatch 2 quite a bit on Switch despite the visual and performance cutbacks, but it really shines on Steam Deck.

    While the game is called Overwatch 2, this all seems more like a transition to a full new game. The biggest changes are dropping the 6v6 gameplay in favour of a much more exciting 5v5 format. Three new heroes are also available, along with a new game mode, but for a final and real verdict, everyone should wait for the upcoming PvE segment.

    Overwatch 2 delivers high-octane multiplayer gameplay and a wholly improved version of the much-loved hero shooter. Now that the dust has settled, it’s becoming clear that despite a number of teething issues, the game manages to do what many sequels struggle to; build upon a successful game, and make it even better.
