Overwatch 2's Weirdest Bug Yet Is Turning Players Against Their Own Team

The thing about games like Overwatch 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is that even if it's unbalanced or slightly broken, you're still going to have a great time jumping in with your squad. Nothing beats the thrill of pulling off a coordinated takedown of the enemy team. And that's what it's all about in the end – having a good time with friends. However, what if a game not only takes this away from you, but turns you against your friends?

In one of the weirdest bugs we've spotted since the launch of Overwatch 2, players are finding themselves suddenly swapped onto the enemy team. Just imagine how frustrating this would be if you're winning and suddenly find yourself losing. Or how fun it was playing with your friends, but now you have to unfortunately shoot them. This isn't new, but happens in very specific circumstances – when a player from the enemy team leaves, a bug triggers the game to swap you to the opposing team to make up the numbers.

The comments were filled by people who weren't surprised in the least bit, given how buggy and broken Overwatch 2 has been since launch. Blizzard has committed to fixing these issues,
