One Overwatch 2 player notices what most fans strangely haven't, creating a short clip to showcase the many different types of doors in the game which open in ways that don't really make any sense considering their designs. Map designs in Overwatch 2 are generally praised for being well-designed to encourage different gameplay approaches and strategies, though sharp-eyed fans are quick to point out that there are many features in these maps which simply defy real-world logic.
Overwatch 2 has had a busy first season, suffering a rough launch period thanks to some server issues and glitches which were followed up with plenty of fan criticisms pertaining to the new monetization and shop features. That said, Overwatch 2 has certainly brought plenty of new content to the table aside from the pricey new cosmetics, including 3 new heroes, the new Push game mode, and several new maps spanning multiple different game modes. Many of these maps have been received differently by fans, and while the Push game mode and its associated maps have been rather controversial so far, new maps such as Paraiso, Circuit Royal, and Midtown have provided a lot of fun for players alongside some interesting design choices that encourage unique styles of play.
An Overwatch 2 fan on Reddit by the name of pogstream compiled several clips into a short video which highlights many of the different doors on old and new maps alike to demonstrate how some of them make no sense at all in a functional sense. The game features many different types of doors, from double doors to glass doors, sliding doors, and garage doors. While there are certainly a lot of doors in each map, the clip highlights how some doors, such as double doors, simply slide down into the ground instead of opening outwards as would be expected. Another example shows garage doors descending into the floor, rather than rolling upwards.
Of course, Overwatch 2's heated gameplay makes it unlikely for players to be focusing on the game's door mechanics, which ultimately contribute little to actual gameplay outside unlocking new spawn rooms or checkpoints on payload maps. Even so, it should be noted that many of these questionable doors only play their opening animations when specific gameplay triggers take effect, meaning that it's rare for players to even be in the vicinity of these doors when they open.
Due to Overwatch 2 continuing to demand some unfortunately high prices for skins, many players continue to express their discontent for the shop prices and mechanics, instead asking Blizzard to make cosmetics more available and provide a way for players to reliably obtain them for free through gameplay. With Season 2 just weeks away, however, fans can look forward to more new content soon, including a new hero, a new map, and more.
Overwatch 2 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
