Payloads, Points and Robots

Overwatch, released by Blizzard in 2016, built its maps around objectives. In 2022 Overwatch 2 switched from six to five players per team, with one tank each, and changed the lineup of game modes.

In Escort maps such as Dorado, attackers push a payload to the end while defenders stop them. Hybrid maps such as King's Row combine capturing a point and then escorting a payload. Control maps such as Ilios ask teams to hold a central point, usually in best-of-three rounds.

Overwatch 2 introduced Push, where teams fight to control a robot that pushes a barricade, and in 2023 added Flashpoint, with capture points unlocking in turn. Assault, also called two capture points, was removed from standard play, though maps like Hanamura are fondly remembered.
