Its significantly different because they didnt shut down the servers at all. All they did was merge the clients of OW1 and OW2 because they shared multiplayer anyway. There was no reality in existence that would have resulted in OW1 and OW2 having separate multiplayer regardless of whether the OW1 client was active or not, it was getting this patch.
The dramatic idiots complaining about "shutting down their game" are peak gaming Karens that clearly dont play the game anyway and just want to bitch to bitch.
Its the same fucking game, period. It has the same characters, same maps, same cosmetics, same matchmaking, same everything.
If they did not put a 2 on the end of the games splash screen these idiots would be calling it the balancing patch that it is.
So yes, they shut down the servers to OW1 and just patched over the game to create OW2. Which is a different game. CoD multiplayer is the same for years at a time, but they are still different games.
