Game news Has Overwatch 2 become the ultimate FPS for dummies? From now on, you no longer need to know how to aim correctly!
The changes in the latest season of Overwatch 2 don’t please everyone, especially when it comes to weapon aiming.
It’s hard to say that Overwatch 2 enjoys a very good reputation among players. Blizzard’s FPS unfortunately failed to maintain the glory of its debut in 2016, even if some still appreciate its content. Now completely free to access, this title, where teams of players compete, has also been available on Steam for a few months. However, on this platform, Overwatch 2 has an “extremely negative” average, making it the lowest rated video game on Steam.
What’s more, the recent changes are the subject of debate within the community. Indeed, the bullets that the characters shoot with their ranged weapons have become much larger in the last season. In other words, it is possible to hit a character while the player’s viewfinder is several centimeters from the target. Is this a timely change for Overwatch 2 fans?
Overwatch 2 aiming just got easier
Over the past few days, Overwatch 2 players have noticed a change in the bullet size of certain weapons. It is in the training session that this modification is more convincing: projectiles reach the target much more easily. Several videos show how far a player’s sights can be and still do damage to the target.
Thus, heroes like Widowmaker (Widowmaker in original version) or Sojourn can perform headshots without actually being able to reach the target’s head. A situation that leads some players to say that aiming has become optional to play Overwatch 2. According to Blizzard, the sensations should be almost the same as before. We must still take into account the fact that in this FPS, the hitboxes sometimes do not correspond to the size of the characters, which can seem destabilizing. In any case, when a fighter moves in all directions, touching them remains a rather difficult exercise.. However, some players appreciate these changes and believe that it is a way to more easily integrate newbies into an FPS that is getting older.. Blizzard seems determined to make changes to dust off this title which was so popular in the past.
