since Hitmann is gone and all hype is now lost due to the......now new moderator of the ubisoft forums XD. Figured I would keep the info coming since I garnered a bunch of interest from the alpha test in December.

Note that brooklyn has since been removed from the article which leads to me possibly thinking it might have been leaked too early and was supposed to be a surprise. Who doesn't want to fight across the bridge to the brooklyn area?
Also what interests me is the word that they used for the 3 branches which definitely seem to have the holy trinity in roles there.
Tanks, DPS, and Healing with healing/support in the medical as well.
Makes me wonder what kind of "dungeons" and "raids" we might get. Which honestly is whats holding me back.....I want PvE. Don't care for the Gank Zo...............I mean Dark Zone.
If you want beta access don't forget you can use the amazon ez mode way. Pre-order from amazon and cancel your pre-order once you receive your beta code. Amazon places roughly a $1 pending if I remember correctly until launch day for shipping. Just cancel for easy beta access .
Also on the hitmann ordeal....just read the thread below starting at page 12.....its 2 pages of reading and you get why it happened by the end

It gets more obvious why as you go on and one Gaffer does a really, really great explanation on why as well.
