Overwatch 2 Players Joke Over Emotional Video: “We All Need Hope To Survive Current Queue”

Overwatch 2 launched on October 4th, 2022 and immediately had problems with the servers, causing players to be stuck in long queues. An emotional video that was published on the same day caused humorous comments from users due to the topic.

Overwatch 2 was launched on October 4th, 2022. As a follow-up game to the well-known hero shooter, many gamers wanted to play the game right after the release. However, there were problems with the servers, which, according to Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra, were caused by hacker attacks. The result was queues of thousands of players.

On the same day, the video “Unleash Hope” was released on the Overwatch YouTube channel. In the comments, players joke.

Here is the Overwatch 2 video about hope:

What is the Unleash Hope video about? As the title suggests, the video is about hope. A voiceover will be played with excerpts from Overwatch 2 along with clips from the real world. Emotional music plays in the background.

What are users writing on YouTube? Much of the comment below the video makes humorous references to the long queues for Overwatch 2’s launch (via YouTube).

User George Allen writes, “I need this hope unleashed while sitting in a 40,000-person queue,” as does Joshua Stabe, “You know what would give me hope? If I could outrun the 30,000 people in the game ahead of me.” Ragerasse writes a similar comment, saying: “We all need hope to survive the current queue”

But some are also looking forward to Overwatch 2 in the comments and are happy to be able to play the successor to the shooter six years after the launch of Overwatch.

Why were there problems with the launch? According to the new Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra, behind the problems with the launch of Overwatch 2 is a mass DDoS attack.

This stands for “Distributed Denial of Service”. This can be triggered by hackers intentionally overloading a network with too many requests.
