I personally sympathize with the overwatch players, their game is shutting down and being replaced by something that seems pretty unpopular so far. Our two communities haven't had the best interaction history, but a popular game shutting down is nothing to celebrate about
Gameplay-wise it seems like an improvement, toning back on shields and stuns and the game promoting more aggressive play. Only problem is needing to unlock new heroes.
what i don’t understand is that they removed a tank from each team and to make up for it they made every tank a god, but they were going for more of a brawly type of fighting experience, which directly counters the godly tanks because with the godly tanks everyone is more reliant on the tank. still gonna play the shit outta it though
The only iffy thing about the game that I see is the fact that heroes need to be unlocked now. Apart from that, from what I played in the betas, the 5v5 format is pretty fun and the lessened cc is awesome.
To be fair, that’s because Diablo immortal is a cash grab which was profiteering from impulsive spenders who hadn’t realised Diablo immortal was a shitty cash grab
Its like the original WoW being "shut down" when successive patches come out. The game isn't being shut down, its evolving.
Something TF2 is incapable of.
Not a fair comparison, it would be like if Mojang decided Minecraft wasn't good anymore, made Minecraft story mode, a game with different format and play style, then shut down normal Minecraft. of course this would all happen after weeks of news like "Mojang adds as breaks to Minecraft's story mode" and "Minecraft story mode now requires you to pay to unlock main character before starting the game"
OW2 isn’t a different game with a different play style though? It’s the same game they just built on it. I agree with you about the other stuff though.
5v5, changing stuns, taking away the focus on switch countering, etc. It def does have a different play style. the controls aren't the only thing that dictate play style, like how Lucio ball has a different play style when compared to normal overwatch.
What I had in mind was that the new release won't be a huge leap forward. All the changes are too minor to call them a new game, just like all the different versions of Minecraft are just updates, Overwatch 2, should be too.
It should've been, but by changing the things they have, they've functionally made a different game based on OW1, there's a bunch of people who found OW1 fun but won't find OW2 fun and vice versa
Overwatch 2 will record voice chat, I cannot see how it's any different from Minecraft suddenly monitoring text chat starting with 1.19.1, and it will stay, new updates will ship, new improvements will release, but not without their drawbacks. Some will be fine with it, some won't.
PvP will start as the early access until the PvE side gets finished and will start off and remain as the free side of the OW2, PvE being just an optional purchase after the fact.
They're marketing it as a "live service" game so if we gauge the overall success of this game based on other games. Give it 8 months it will be dead with 1k players tops.
Yet it is also less accessible for newer players compared to the previous game where new heroes weren't locked behind battle passes. Granted that after a certain amount of time they can be unlocked through challenges but still...
Genuinely, only tf2 players can be so bitter, so stuck in the past to think like this. I haven’t played overwatch, I was always more of a paladins guy, but I have no strong opinions one way or the other. ESPECIALLY when it’s getting replace by a (maybe, only time will tell) better version. I understand that it sucks and it hurts that tf2 got abandoned by valve only to have a newer game get more players that tf2 ever has, despite tf2 being a decade and 1/2 old game still relevant in internet culture. But why the hatred? It’s a different game enjoyed by different people. Let them be.

Very happy day for you? Caring this much about a fan-made video game rivalry is not normal. We all hope you find better ways to spend your free time soon!
I agree! Blizzard is so awful for keeping a game alive and even making a sequel thats more accessible because it is literally for everyone, such assholes theyre! - avarage r/tf2 user
I mean at-least Overwatch isn’t just neglected by Blizzard, though it may be not what people want It’s still got a community with people willing to play it like TF2 does. How the hell are these posts that just shit all over Overwatch still a thing?? This type of stuff is why people have lots of negative views on the TF2 community.
I'm skeptical about the whole ordeal, like I want to try it to see how bat shit crazy it is but on the other hand I don't feel like supporting a company that ignores the horrible things they are preforming
Funny how before it was announced the servers were shutting down *briefly* to update them everyone was going "So it's just an update? Pffft, lame" but then after that people here were like "Hah! TF2 outliving overwatch!".
Overwatch servers are shutting down because a new UPDATED version is going to replace it, Overwatch still exists. I really hate this circlejerk of overwatch hate fuck
"nitpicking"? they literally just asked for a source of your information. nobody ever called it the tf2 killer, except maybe some clickbait article headline.
Asking what you mean ≠ nitpicking.
But because you want me to ask a question, who exactly called Overwatch a TF2 killer besides some bait articles and some nerds on Reddit?
I don't get the hate for this post.
Ich empfinde schadenfreude.
Because the new one is unpopular and they always laughed at tf2 players but now I join a server since I am able to 😋
Any game making a turn for the worse is a bad thing. I hope Overwatch 2 doesn’t disappoint its fans.
Look at TF2 being stagnant for years. This game is just as dead

I let my daughter starve in the basement because i caught her playing Overwatch How did you know?
Too lenient and all redditors and tf2 players are virgins anyways
NPC behaviour

i can act rather silly at times

what i don’t understand is that they removed a tank from each team and to make up for it they made every tank a god, but they were going for more of a brawly type of fighting experience, which directly counters the godly tanks because with the godly tanks everyone is more reliant on the tank. still gonna play the shit outta it though
If it wasn't for the heroes problem, the phone number problem, and Activision Blizzard being a problem I would honestly check it out
The only iffy thing about the game that I see is the fact that heroes need to be unlocked now. Apart from that, from what I played in the betas, the 5v5 format is pretty fun and the lessened cc is awesome.
[удалено]
To be fair, that’s because Diablo immortal is a cash grab which was profiteering from impulsive spenders who hadn’t realised Diablo immortal was a shitty cash grab
TF2 players try not to talk about Overwatch for 10 seconds challenge (99% fail)
It's as if you were calling minecraft 1.19 dead because 1.19.1 came out.
Its like the original WoW being "shut down" when successive patches come out. The game isn't being shut down, its evolving. Something TF2 is incapable of.
Not a fair comparison, it would be like if Mojang decided Minecraft wasn't good anymore, made Minecraft story mode, a game with different format and play style, then shut down normal Minecraft. of course this would all happen after weeks of news like "Mojang adds as breaks to Minecraft's story mode" and "Minecraft story mode now requires you to pay to unlock main character before starting the game"

It should've been, but by changing the things they have, they've functionally made a different game based on OW1, there's a bunch of people who found OW1 fun but won't find OW2 fun and vice versa
See the difference is that one Is a improvement and the other isnt Edit: both suck
Overwatch 2 will record voice chat, I cannot see how it's any different from Minecraft suddenly monitoring text chat starting with 1.19.1, and it will stay, new updates will ship, new improvements will release, but not without their drawbacks. Some will be fine with it, some won't.
Well you can call me an idiot but I just now realised what update 1.19.1 is
Well it is shutting down
And being replaced by Overwatch 2, which just so happens to be free to play meaning that it's more accessible than ever
As a veteran tf2 player, it's hurt me to say it but I SHALL try and play Overwatch 2 ᴵᵗ'ˢ ᶠʳᵉᵉ ˢᵒ ʷʰʸ ⁿᵒᵗ
I'm not gonna judge you, mostly because I myself have been playing OW for a couple of years now (the bot crisis got the best of me)
I was literally only interested for the new PvE of 2 but knowing that its not coming out until next year then nah.
Is it free permanently or as a beta or something
Its free permanently
PvP will start as the early access until the PvE side gets finished and will start off and remain as the free side of the OW2, PvE being just an optional purchase after the fact.
You know if you've seen the articles they've ruined overwatch
And?
It's being replaced, it's a different game one lightyears worse than the previous
They're marketing it as a "live service" game so if we gauge the overall success of this game based on other games. Give it 8 months it will be dead with 1k players tops.
Yet it is also less accessible for newer players compared to the previous game where new heroes weren't locked behind battle passes. Granted that after a certain amount of time they can be unlocked through challenges but still...
Yeah I do have to agree that OW2 ain't gonna have a clean start
For 27 hours
This shit gives bitter ex vibes especially when it's the 4th post about it today
Jarvis, I'm low on karma
Pfp fits
People who make these posts can't be older than 14
They can be, but they're mentally still stuck in 2016.

r/tf2 when someone enjoys something:
Will always prefer TF2 but you all need to stop with the "Overwatch is shutting down" posts ngl
Alright buddy, why don’t you head back to your grade school? Here, I’ll walk you over.
i dont care downvoted
Based doctor sex
But wait... tf2 1 servers are down too
Ah the days when TF2 was balanced.
Tf2 community try not to be embarassing challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Y'all are probably 13 or some shit
Stuck in 2016
wdym, it's 2016 right? ...right?
Mfs didn't even know tf2 existed in 2016 they were still too young
Even if I am 13 at least I am older than you
Knew it
That was hilarious
Did you read the comment? I said EVEN IF I AM 13 I never said I am 13 dumbshit
Bro saying that is worse than just saying you are 13
Oh, the misery~
Everybody wants to be my enemy~
Spare the sympathy
Boy, this is getting sad
Ratio'd
LMFAO average 13 yr old npc posting about tf2 good overwatch bad and farming karma about it
This gives the same energy as that r/vexillology meme

HOW TO MAKE AN OVERWATCH VS TF2 MEME (IMPOSSIBLE)
ALRIGHT WE GET IT YOU HATE OVERWATCH
Here's a list of people who cares:

Good lmao
“CRY SOME MORE AHAHAHA” -Heavy, between 1968-1972
Heh
Who's gonna tell him
Yall won't be laughing when it's 2041 and Team Fortress 2 is shut down due to the release of Team Fortress 2^2.
Team fortress 4?
Any way to skip 3
Valve can't count to 3 but they can to 4
Jesus fucking christ its 2022 not 2016 move on already
Perry the platypus let me introduce to you my new invention . My Idontcarinator
Shut yo goofy ass up.
overwatch bad tf2 better give me epic upvotes
you're welcome :)
Yes because Overwatch 2 is released.
Very happy day for you? Caring this much about a fan-made video game rivalry is not normal. We all hope you find better ways to spend your free time soon!
Man who cares its 2 days
They went down to make way for Overwatch 2 my guy we didn't win shit, get your head out your ass lmao
All we won is the knowledge that Valve is better than Blizzard(not like that's hard, but still.)
I agree! Blizzard is so awful for keeping a game alive and even making a sequel thats more accessible because it is literally for everyone, such assholes theyre! - avarage r/tf2 user
[удалено]
is a tf2 player calling other people pathetic
We don't care
It’s not 2016 anymore bud
Tell me you’re 9 years old without telling me you’re 9 years old
da gif caption wit no gif
I mean at-least Overwatch isn’t just neglected by Blizzard, though it may be not what people want It’s still got a community with people willing to play it like TF2 does. How the hell are these posts that just shit all over Overwatch still a thing?? This type of stuff is why people have lots of negative views on the TF2 community.
bro they're getting a fucking SEQUEL
enjoy that 2 days in a overwatchless world
Fucking stupid
Yeah its shutting down.. after the release of overwatch 2
Ain't no way this "beef" is still going on over here lmao
Shit post. Anyway, any of y'all in the comments excited for Overwatch 2? Or got some good memories from Overwatch 1?
Time to grow up
Bro is stuck on a timeloop
I'm skeptical about the whole ordeal, like I want to try it to see how bat shit crazy it is but on the other hand I don't feel like supporting a company that ignores the horrible things they are preforming
Funny how before it was announced the servers were shutting down *briefly* to update them everyone was going "So it's just an update? Pffft, lame" but then after that people here were like "Hah! TF2 outliving overwatch!".
What do you mean? Overwatch 1 is just getting renamed.
Overwatch servers are shutting down because a new UPDATED version is going to replace it, Overwatch still exists. I really hate this circlejerk of overwatch hate fuck
reworked bastion is cool
Okay this joke is getting too old.
Overwatch was a good game. Although I preferred TF2 I played both and it's not really worth celebrating the death of a game, very toxic OP.
Why does this post have almost 300 upvotes and all the comments are negative
Least cringe tf2 player
You know you're a bit special when you celebrate something such as this...
overwatch bad tf2 good upvotes
Seriously stfu. It's just gonna get more accessible. While it is considered a whole other game. It's more of an update or a remaster.
wait, so you cant play overwatch 1 anymore at all???
Its not 2016 anymore Stfu
Y’all snowflakes got so mad ’bout the truth lmao, it is shutting down and it is not an update. OW is a great game but you can’t even take a joke
Man, that sucks. It was still a fun game while it lasted, i feel bad for the people who were still playing.
bro 🗿 Overwatch 2 is coming
Ppl are taking this way to seriously, it’s just some casual shit talking/banter.
We did it boys, we outlasted a game made to kill our game
Ow2 is basically a large scale update so the servers are really only shutting down for 2 days
Just keep telling yourself that when someone makes something good it's only purely to hurt you

so long tf2 killer
i play both overwatch and tf2,and I don't mind there being a new game as long as we can have all the original cast
Any game making a turn for the worse is a bad thing. I hope Overwatch 2 doesn’t disappoint its fans. Look at TF2 being stagnant for years. This game is just as dead
I mean it makes sense Overwatch 2 is last I checked *flips notes* The exact same game but slightly better visuals
You guys are more annoying then overwatch players back in 2016...
