just seems like repackaged OW1

what is different besides being 5v5 and some ability changes

you gotta watch 4 hours of streamers for get the beta

i mean yeah it essentially is a big marketing ploy. one big patch. more or less the same game with a lot of reworks and some new maps. it's a free upgrade but casual fans are thinking it's a whole new game.

Lol all I've heard about it is it not being different at all sounds like a terrible marketing idea to call it an OW2. Should've marketed it as a DLC expansion or something probably.

They removed McCree's flashbang and Mei can't freeze people anymore

Overall the changes look fine but there's no way this brings the game back to life. It will def bring people back when it launches but the people left the game for a reason and it's still the same game at it's core, so I doubt those people will stay.

it’s less of a team based game with ow2, less strategic. still strategy involved but feels more like a cod game

as far as im aware, today is the only day you can get beta access through drops

Can’t wait til betas on console

S*** looks p different from OW1

Not feeling this at all. I still play OW1 to this day so i'm not even an OW hater this s*** is just frustrating.

IMO this game is way more damage focused and less strategy. Pros been asking for less shields though so I guess they'll be happy.

Added it to my account but it’s not showing up

What's the verdict

Wen console

Feel like this game doesn't know what it wants to be.

Fast paced arena shooter like COD or team based hero shooter like TF2.

They threw us in an unbalanced mess of a beta

I haven't seen anyone else complain about this, but I feel disoriented as f*** when I'm playing. That s*** where the screen flashes red now is terrible and I can't even tell what direction I'm being hit from anymore.

only seeing and hearing bad things about OW2 lol not surprising i guess

I’ve seen everyone who currently plays OW, love the OW2 beta so far.

Less stuns, less one hit kills, less shields, more freedom.

Where are you “seeing and hearing” all these “bad things”?!

Orisa is really overpowered though

Mostly Twitter and here, and I have a few friends who loved the original that have beta access

Twitch, Twitter, Reddit

my copy of Ow is just collecting dust. Is this any good?

After playing some more.

Playing damage is fun af, tank is 50/50, playing support is hell.

Haven’t played in a while but the new one looks fun. That bastion ult is dumb tho it’s genuinely bad game design

I'm f***ing with it more the more I play it. Definitely a big adjustment though
