wait they just removed the game?? like no one can play it anymore?
Correct. OW2 is basically bolted on top of OW1, so OW1 doesn't exist anymore.
OW2 is OW1. They just added a couple maps, removed some maps, took away a tank, and filled it full of grind and micro transactions. Absolutely no reason for "2".
Think they had to cuz they "promised" not to charge for heroes.
They wanted to, and that required a "2".
Yes absolutely. It's just a realy big patch with some reworks. Honestly I realy don't know what took them so long to finish it.
The OW1 client is gone, but Blizz migrated most things to OW2. The exceptions were the team size (changed from 6v6 to 5v5) and 1 match type (1 type dropped with 2 new types added). Collectibles and anything that could be purchased was also migrated from 1 to 2.
