It's short for 'Strategic Homeland Division'.

pfft, yeah, right. Just like 'The Walking Dead' is referring to the zombies

[CheekyPhaggot]

PC version. Thoroughly enjoyed the beta, hoping they fix the cheating situation.

ubi has said that cheaters will have a rough life after beta

while that may be true, would you expect them to say otherwise?

[CheekyPhaggot]

lol exactly although iirc they said something about not using any anti cheat during beta, cba to tryn find where I read it

New skills trailer

[ViagraOverdose]

Video on the actual map size, in for science, or something.


You can travel from one side of gta5 to the other in less than half the time it takes to travel from end to end in the Division.

I think you worded that wrong broseph.

To my knowledge and after watching this video. The map in GTA V is bigger than the division. GTA V was also released on last gen.

He travelled the map in a car, not on foot, which is the only option in TD.

This guy makes amazing video however, very interesting.

Sup brahs, haven't found this game much but looks awesome. Reminds me of Phantasy Star online a bit like back in the day except much better. How many people can you be in a group with max?

but srs, beta hasnt changed my mind about getting the game.

[Tip Top]

In my opinion that E3 trailer needs to go...




Xbox One Gameplay walkthrough of the Beta in 1440p and 60fps video

I don't think the E3 2013 gameplay trailer should be eliminated...that was their original vision for the game, and I think they were pretty damned spot-on in their achievement of it. Sure there's a slight downgrade in the amount of junk littering the ground, but everything else works pretty much as planned. No one would have used the tablet interface anyways...second screen co-op is pretty impractical.

notice how the concept of a dark zone was already there in 2013 (you can see three separate DZ's on the map at the end...possible future expansions perhaps?) and the tension triggered when they popped the flair and were attacked by another player group is very real in the final product. It's damned impressive that they got as close as they did to what they originally set out to do.

The Division was a completely different game back then. Over the past 2-3 years it morphed into the RPG loot grinder it is now. The devs have stated that originally it wasn't built to be this type of game.

Yea, I much prefer it to be more of a traditional shooter, or more of a mix anyway, I get the appeal of loot, leveling, gear, etc.... but enemies take more damage than I would like to see, some more balance towards shooter would be nice when the game releases, there are lots of complaints so hopefully Ubi listens.

[CheekyPhaggot]

have you guys never played an mmorpg? rofl.

I never saw anyone in ESO complaining about the named bosses taking "too long" to kill.

Like the poster I responded to said, the game was originally geared more towards a realistic shooter, and no, I haven't played a mmorpg because I'm not a virgin living in my mom's basement. Semi-srs. I get everyone likes something different, it's just not for me, I think if they want the RPG elements, fine, but balancing it would make it much more appealing to me. I mean the game sets up such a nice immersive environment then I need to put 50 rounds directly into the chest of a street thug wearing a hoodie to kill them, lame. They wanted a modern realistic environment but if human's are going to take more than 10x bullet damage than what is realistic might as well add wizards and warlocks and make another ******* ass Destiny IMO. I have no idea what ESO is but bullet sponge complaints from the beta can't be missed, they are on every corner of the internet I have seen. Again, I'm not saying remove the levels, gear, loot, etc, just make the modifiers have less effect and in turn you can make a guy go down with 10 shots to the chest and retain that immersive and realistic feel to the whole environment.

Fuark, why am I starting to get the feeling that this game is going to be a total flop at endgame?

[Unbreakable09]

The challenge mode is the raid like grouping content they alluded to. It's a difficulty setting you can choose once max, that absolutely requires full groups, and tons of strategy to complete.

What makes you think it will take more strategy rather than just having more enemies with more health, like the hard-mode version of the medical wing mission? Having us repeat the same 10 minute missions on a harder difficulty doesn't sound promising. That's like Destiny's nightfalls being the extent of Destiny's endgame.

The only type of endgame a shooting rpg can have is crafting/loot grinding. And maybe pvp if it's competitive.

With the way PvP is so harshly penalized in the DZ right now, it's kind of hard to say that PvP will be the endgame. It's too bad there's no TDM-style PvP right now.

As it is, once you try to PvP the game basically becomes a parkour simulator for 5 minutes.

Destiny has raids, but that game has super powers, aliens, and jet pack jumping mechanics. So it makes sense.

They could make raids that make sense in this game though. Imagine raiding an embassy or tower, floor by floor, that was filled with some highly-trained opposing faction or whatnot. It's possible, it just looks like Massive didn't put out.

In on PC

[Rayaarito]

So torn on this. Don't know if PC or ps4. Want to jam with miscers, but love thre graphics and controls of PC.... Fuark

If you don't have buddy's on PC to play with, i'd get it for PS4. Even though PC masterrace graphics are sexy. This looks like a very social game. Like destiny: Yeah, it's fun by yourself, but the experience is 10x better with people

Fuark, why am I starting to get the feeling that this game is going to be a total flop at endgame?

This is why I'm not buying on release. They still haven't told us anything about endgame content. I'm pretty sure if they had a raid developed they would at least have mentioned it already. I was not impressed at all with the PvE mission they gave us in the game. Really hoping there is some more interesting stuff.

Challenge mode missions will probably just be gear checks that have enemies with more hp considering that's what they showed us in the beta (normal and hard version mission). Crazy to think but this game might launch with less content than Destiny did.

[jackamo2887]

You fuk boys never learn do you lol.

It's a Ubisoft game..if it even WORKS, it's a miracle. Nevermind it being good.

[stasmtl]

Logitech is having a promo, buy a mechanical keyboard listed below and get a free copy of Division. Figured there could be people interested, even though those keyboards arent cheap (they are ****ing awesome though). I know I would jump on this right away if this promo came a couple months earlier.

Surprised it took this long for a troll to post in here.

Lol so you're one of those idiots that pre-orders every AC game, Watch_dogs, etc, then post on here about how terrible they are.

[mgftp]

Can't disagree with Ubisoft making nothing but chit for the past decade.

[PatHead]

Kind of agree, depends on which development team handled it. Far Cry 3 was friggen buriful, and fun as hell. Which is the team making The Division.


But I have not purchased one of their games since, as I was boycotting the company. Been 4 years since I gave them a dime.









Too bad the Montreal team doing Wastelands, same ones that did Watch Dogs. Doubt I will touch that one.

wildlands ****ggggottttt

looks sick but tempering my hype for sure

far cry 4, rainbow six siege are both good too

The Division news

The Division Beta Had 22% Of The Full Game’s Map; Dark Zone Is 18% Of The Total Map




After playing The Division beta test, a widespread concern was that the playable area seemed small and the PvE content fairly scarce.

Luckily, Ubisoft released an interactive map of the full game and two enterprising Reddit users took the opportunity to do some very interesting work. Specifically, user MickGasm managed to overlay the beta map (in purple) with the one to be featured in the full game (in blue).





He then switched to grid view and ran the following calculations.





The grid is 115*71, totalling 8165 squares.

The Beta area occupies 1167 squares.

The Launch area occupies 5315 squares.

So how is this game brahs?

is it better than Destiny atleast?

Yes, but I'd say Destiny is a low standard for comparison. lulz

The beta has me intrigued and wanting more, only release will tell us how good it actually it.

[Bcider]

So how is this game brahs?

Can't really compare until it releases. Destiny had a ton of problems but it least it had a raid and structured pvp on release. If The Division doesn't have true new endgame content and pvp they are blowing a huge opportunity.

The Division news

So no Brooklyn or central park?

I heard there will be an underground dlc for more exploration

But I was hoping it would have at least multiple boroughs

they showed the Brooklyn bridge so many times since E3 2014

Oh well.
