looks just like division 1 with a different map. i'll hold off for reviews before buying it. division 1 was fun for a while but i'll wait and see if they have learnt from their mistakes.

I don't understand why anyone would spend $60 on this when drugs, hookers, ammunition, illegal fireworks and cheap booze are all readily available, and provide much more rewarding life experiences than buying a Ubisoft product.

I still think the snowy Manhattan locale is going to be really hard to beat, some of the effects certainly in the survival mode were absolutely stellar for the sense of immersion.
Everything I've seen from division 2 makes me think of ghost recon, jungles, bright, no real sense of isolation and dread.
I loved the division, tbh I'm a massive dev fanboy so I'm still interested but I haven't seen anything yet that suggests I need to play this anywhere near launch

Yeah. The snowy NY setting is one of the best environments and atmospheres of any game I've played.
I understand why they didn't do it again, though. Hope this one finds a way to exceed expectations.

Enjoyed the campaign of the first one as well, and most of the group stuff with friends. Didn't do much of Dark Zone or Endgame so I'll be buying this once I see that they've got some beefy SP/PVE stuff too.
Also really don't appreciate being called 'dumb' for buying games like this. I get that you don't like the game but to crap on your own fellow gamers for buying something they enjoy is downright immature. Grow up.

I’ve been curious to see what they do with the Dark Zone this time around. I wasnt sure how they could expand on it/improve it

I didn't like the first one at all (granted i only played the demo) it just felt...off, sloppy movement and aiming, bullet sponge enemies, it just wasn't fun for me. This one doesn't look much different so i'll pass. At least they've gotten away from the snowy bullcrap so that's a plus.

After investing over 869 hours in Division 1 have to be honest I'm not liking what I see so far..but I'll have to get my hands on it to make my final judgment. I'm definetly not liking the shock ammo, smaller dark zone sections, checkpoint turrets just to name a few.

I liked the snowy'ness in the city of the first game, this is too sunny for me, it's got zero atmosphere.

Although the Last of Us aesthetic has run its course, I still think a lot of people are underestimating this game.
I was a huge supporter of Destiny 1, but I could never touch it again after the Division and how it fundamentally cracked the code of a multiplayer loot-based shooter. What distinguished the two was the way Massive successfully implemented the MMORPG formula of the holy trinity: tank, healing, and DPS. It doesn't shoehorn you into these archetypes, and there's a lot of customization synergy with the weapons. But to succeed in the higher difficulty missions, you really have to buy in to the teamwork that you would in a WoW instance dungeon.
Although the gunplay and roleplaying were fantastic, the game definitely hit a brick wall once you completed the story. However, the state that the game is in now, with the selection of game modes, weekly incentivization, gear sets, monthly events, and the way everything in the base game has been iterated upon, has perfected what the loot based shooter is trying to do this generation.
It looks like almost everything Massive learned and implemented in the three years they've worked in the Division is now going to be offered upfront in the day 1 package, and so I'm really high on the Division 2. We haven't seen Survival yet, the most intense and pure distillation of the Division's concept, but given that just about everything else is here suggests it will probably come shortly after launch. Even then, I wouldn't put it past Massive to be holding this close to the chest, and if that comes on day 1 as well, it's really going to push this game over the top.
No one is going to miss Manhattan more than me, but I think this game is going to offer a gameplay experience that's absolutely unbeatable.

Gamer tag radio just did a podcast with the devs all about the dark zone and other improvements. It was a good listen, about ~35 minutes.

I have a question that may be stupid,. but, well that never stops me anyway.
Will the people who felt alienated by The Dark Zone in the first game be able to get into it in the sequel? Is enough changed, expanded on, is it more inviting, etc? Or are people who aren't prone to PvP enjoyment just never going to like what The Dark Zone is all about?

This and Anthem are competing for the busiest HUD.

It’s almost impossible to understand what the hell is going on in the maps shown. Too much clutter, makes it impossible!

Aye so are they huh?
At least they got gameplay down, that’s the most important part.

Not gonna lie. I’m getting a little hyped.
I felt Division improved dramatically with updates over time.
If they launch this in at least as “full” a state as Division 1 is now then we should be golden. Don’t pull a Destiny 2, please

The updates for The Division were roller coaster. They would add new features and fix bugs but introduce new problems.
And stat balance for armor sets were all over the place, mostly because of PvP.
I thought they finally got it right with update 1.4, but then they lost it only to get it back with update 1.8 and end on a high note.
I'm just hoping they don't us through another roller coaster.
