There is one extra thing I want to highlight from MVM's Mann Up and its an important detail. You know how you need a ticket to play the mode? The ticket doesn't get used until THE MISSION is completed. Did your server of players decide "F-ck this im out?" Well good news your ticket is still there. Losing the match or squad rage quitting doesn't steal money from your wallet. It just cost maybe an hour of your time wasted trying to keep your team ali- WHY DID YOU JUMP INTO THE HORDES? -cough- sorry... had a... moment... but yes the Tour of Duty ticket you bought doesn't vanish unless the mission is completed.

Anytime they scrap or change something they completely swing in the opposite direction so even though we never got the hyper realistic gritty tf2 we were initially promised the goofy game we got is still extremely influential and a great game.

I think a big reason why MvM was as successful as it was is because Valve iterated on feedback. MvM when it first came out was still pretty good, but wasn't nearly as good as it was today. The Mecha Engie update adding in bot variety and new maps, as well as the 2-cities update basically giving medic an entirely new mechanic and expanded upon the existing content perfectly, as well as adding new maps and killstreak kits. MvM also wasn't teased as a reason to make a new game. Valve didn't say "hey guys, we need to make a brand new game and stop giving you TF2 content entirely because we want to make a PvE mode!" No, Valve released that as a FREE update to the game then continued to iterate upon it. OW2 was teased as the reason for needing a new game. Whatever, the engine they used for OW1 was probably bloated af and they didn't want to bloat it, plus they fixed up the big issues with the PvP side of the game alongside that which is nice. Where they failed wasn't that they got to ambitious over it, it was that they refused to even put in the same amount of effort that made MvM so successful in the first place. They scrapped everything about it that even made it interesting and unique in favor of being able to go "hey, we technically still delivered our promise, but with MORE micro-transactions" as well as setting a precedent that you'll have to PAY for future PvE content in the game. Another $15 every season just to get the new PvE content for something so bare bones.

I was a completionist who had almost every cosmetic for every character from just playing, never bought lootboxes. Now it's impossible. And now they demand more money for PVE, while the game is free, except if you paid 60 bucks for it at release. And that's without even mentioning all the Blizzard scandals. Just... ugh.

on the topic of cutscenes, this is one of the few times where Halo infnite actually had an amzing approach to them (even if they have been cancelled, big sad). The multiplayer story cutscenes featured your own custom spartan, OC's are a big thing in the halo community and it was honestly incredibly cool see my own character interacting and playing part in the larger story with the other characters. Furthermore they made 2 scenes per event, last one unlocking when you complete the event. They basically countered youtube by giving you personal investment, and putting a buffer on the upload time making it just as fast to play the game yourself than just waiting for an upload. Still a big shame they were cancelled though :(

1:18 In case anyone's curious, here's that list: - F2P model that requires you to spend a lot of time or spend money for new heroes in a game that’s about counter switching - Downgraded user interface/experience - Features taken out from OW1 that rally had no reason to be - Inconsistent matchmaking throughout its current life - Rank rework that made little sense and messed up the system as well as players perception of rank > skill - Removal of loot boxes (which were easily earnable for free) replaced with an overpriced shop - The time to grind the currency for a legendary skin takes entirely too long, almost like they want you to buy their stupid premium currency - Sense of progression erased. Progression is now tied to a seasonal battle pass that’s wiped at the end instead of a player level that would reward you with a loot box - Half assed balancing and reworks at the beginning of OW2’s life resulted in several heroes feeling out of place or worthless - New heroes are over-kitted, as their new philosophy is supposedly to make heroes more generalist and somewhat interchangeable as opposed to specialists for certain situations. Best seen with Ramattra being a master of none and lifeweaver having way too much in his kit - Kiriko immediately contradicts this philosophy due to the absurd utility of Suzu Cleanse making her a must pick in many situations. Ana constantly nading your team? Kiriko. Mei ccing your team? Kiriko. Any hero that has applicable status effects or kill combos? Suzu. Counter an entire ultimate? Suzu. - Push fucking sucks ass to play. It’s super snowbally and absolute agony for immobile heroes (Ana, Zen, Mei, etc.). The matchmaking makes this mode worse than it should be with uneven team skill levels. - The Blizzard polish is gone. This game has had an insane number of bugs, both visually, minor, and game breaking, that shouldn’t occur from a triple A developer whose reputation used to be “polish”. - Game altering bugs can be unresolved for months, but as soon as there’s an issue related to the shop and money, it’s fixed as fast as possible - There’s no simulator for Baptiste to sell me life insurance - I’m serious, Bap could sell me life insurance all day and I’d be content with OW2 - They gave Mercy a Karen haircut - They don’t arbitrarily nerf Genji every patch - We still don’t have speedo skin Roadhog - Not enough gay - Too much gay - We still haven’t seen Kiriko on her bike - I actually hate Kiriko - Like, burning passion hate everything about Kiriko from a visual design and character standpoint - Again, why isn’t Baptiste selling me life insurance?!

It's more of a Valve vs Blizzard issue Valve basically lets employees work where they want, and as long as it's making some money they're good Blizzard is more of a "traditional" business, you work where you're TOLD, and maximizing the profit is the main goal The issue for Blizzard is that they're willing to put people on projects who don't love their game, they'll cut out content to save money, and they'll lock things behind paywalls to maximize the cash flow Valve's issue is that flashy new games and projects are more likely to get a larger staff group working on it, while old games like TF2 are left with a skeleton crew because they're old Both have problems but between the two, TF2 was made with love and for enjoyment which is why it is still standing today.... OW was designed as a way to separate they player from their money and will wither and die when Blizz makes a new game to push

Not sure it it quite fits the model, but Salmon Run, the PvE mode from Splatoon 3, seems to meet most of the points you were making, it’s a team of four matchmaking mode in which you fight off hordes of salmonids and taking out bosses in order to collect eggs you bring to the basket at spawn before time runs out to clear the wave. There are three waves per shift (with an extra boss fight wave occasionally happening) which can each have a different tide level and gimmick. And your weapons are randomized from a pool for your team. It’s got a lot of variety, it’s the best way to make money in the game, and it’s accessible as soon as you reach lv 4 (which you get after about an hour of play in the main game mode, alongside all other shops). I know it’s not F2P, but I think it qualifies as a good PvE mode based on the criteria presented here

11:27 Soldier's ability to carry around his healing station was shown off in the trailer I think. I remember some content creators calling it out specifically thinking that the april fools was going to be a preview of the upcoming pve content. I guess it was more "let's recycle what we have" 18:55 Most card games have their story mode locked behind either a paywall (usually $15-$20) or an in-game currency grind-wall. (Usually takes 1.5-3 weeks to grind out, low end is TESL, high end is HS) These modes usually provide unique cards as reward, alongside the story missions. Hearthstone's are sort of unique, because they gave up on the story missions at some point and the older story missions can only be purchased with the premium cash currency now. The monetization is very similar to how hearthstone's. (3 act story mission for $15)

I totally get setting it aside because we want to focus on the on release specefic content. but even just on release tf2 having the ABILITY for community to develop and engage with the game in that way simply doesnt exist in Overwatch. technically overwatch has a mode that lets you change a couple numbers but the actuall creation of new models maps modes content doesnt exist at all not to mention overwatch traps you into using there built in restrictive system and to my knowledge you cant combine it with the pve stuff anyways. my point is that so much of the games industry has moved away from giving communities any level of control over the games they engage with and consume instead only being locked in to the forcefed (and payed for) systems that the industry delivers to the players, they literally dont allow for community tools because they DONT WANT TO COMPETE. This should be on the face of it ridiculous and so tf2 even having that OPTION even before anything gets made is a HUUUGE point in tf2s favor and so removing it entirely from the discussion is foing tf2 a disservice (not that it needs it lol).

Very good video. I wanted to point out that the power-up canteen you get from the achievement is basically a legacy item and you don't really need it, because ages ago they added a normal quality canteen to the default item inventory but it only shows up as equippable when it's applicable, same as the grappling hook and spellbook magazine. In fact the game pesters you every respawn until you put one on. Also the one that you get from the achievement can be obtained from the 'bootcamp' missions you mentioned as well including community servers that have infinite money mods or other things that make it much easier. So aside from it being recommended to unlock useful weapons, as stock is not the best in slot most of the time, you can jump into the mode with no pre-requisites whatsoever. I do think it's worth highlighting the dark side of MvM though which is that in Mann Up mode unless you queue with friends you are practically guaranteed to land in a team of not very nice people that want the game played their way, so that offensive Shortstop strategy would not fly. It is common to be harassed in both text and voice chat over your class, weapon and upgrade choices if they don't perfectly align with the vision of whoever is bossiest in the lobby. And sure blocking them is an option but then you just see a votekick being called against you instead (if one wasn't happening already). Do not give TF2 players the credit of having common sense or independent thought, either, since the chances are that even if you did nothing wrong and the rest of the team is not already friends with the votekick caller, they'll vote 'yes' anyway. So playing the premium/paid version of the mode was bent away from fun and enjoyment into grind and repetition long ago and it's very difficult to recommend. Was that one australium weapon across 100 tours really worth the stress? Even if it was a golden frying pan (good luck ever actually managing to sell one for thousands of USD) I think I'd rather just be happy. It really is just a casino except all the other patrons are abusive towards you specifically so you walk out with a frown even if you won the jackpot.

The biggest reason why MvM succeeds where OW2 fails is that MvM was actually released.

Honestly, if TF2 was given a campaign at some point (Unlikely but cant hurt to hope) I bet the entirety of the TF2 Community would be in a roar of excitement cause we'd get to play a gamemode which is in line with the lore (Again, unlikely but hoping), much more than what Blizzy the Money Stealing Company introduced to the OW/OW2 community

honestly the only thing that's killed OW2 pve is the higher ups at Blizzard interfering with the work of the team to the point Bobby literally had them spend months on an idea he had that he would later scrap, doing this multiple times took literal YEARS off of the development of the game

The first and only MVM tour I did when it originally came out gave me a Bot killer Minigun, I was so damn hyped I got something for one of my favorite characters I never bought another MVM ticket again. And now I get to still enjoy my Bot killer gun with the summer update, it feels great!

The whole, 40 talents thing, sounds like they were trying to incorporate BattleBorn's combat trait system. Also, BattleBorn had a free version that people can play but the main game and more game modes are still locked behind paying for the full game.

Frankly, if we compare Blizzard's promises to what was already in Battleborn, it really looks like Overwatch 2 was trying to be Battleborn. Fun facts, this whole OW2 pve thing is good publicity for the Battleborn community who try to resurrect the game... Yes, there are still people who want to see this game again, and not just a little : at least 2300 signed an online petition called "Battle Re-born", even some members of the development team participated. Quite frankly, if Battleborn were to return now, I'm sure it could take the place that Overwatch 2 tried to reach.

Super great video!! Strongly agree I would have easily paid $60 for a full OW PVE (MVM was by far the biggest draw to TF2 for me, so can't tell you how excited I was for OW2). As soon as I heard OW2 was going to be a microtransaction-fest I jumped ship and left when OW1 shut down. It sucks to hear how badly they're handling the new game mode, but also I hate to say that I'm not surprised either :/

A great video. As someone who played TF2 for years but only really connected with it after MVM came out, I was so excited for blizzards version within Overwatch 2. I effectively moved over from TF2 entirely to Overwatch. I was gutted when the news dropped, though not as gutted as Overwatch’s content.

This is just hearbreaking to see. All of things we want to see. True list of things they will do, fun gameplay, and an open relationship between creators and players are now a rarity to this day. It wasnt as much of a norm back then. Especially when Valve took the riegns and show us what we could have. Now we all either have to learn to be careful about what game we want or just give the money and gamble to see if its a good game or not. There is more RNG for games themselves than Valve's chances for me to get Australium Pan! Could we just be truthful and more open guys? All of these lies are tiring. Alright rant over.
