Looks like the Beta has the same map restriction that the Alpha had.

inb4 alpha testers start to moan and complain about how beta doesn't offer any new content etc. for them to play.

Edit:

Okay normally I'm like "y'all need to shut up about chromatic aberration because sometimes it works well" but holy sh** its horrendous in Division. Also why the lighting so flat tbh?

CA is horrendous in everything. I don't understand why video game industry has such hard on for visual artifacting that is byproduct of using cheap and low quality optics in [video] camera. Same with lens flare, like why? You are allegedly playing as human character, not Chappie the Robot. Flatness of lightning may be side product from weak and/or lack of AO.

The beta content seems to be the same as what we had in the alpha. Looks like some UI changes, bug fixes, and perhaps increased level cap are the only differences.

So the alpha had a mission for Base of Operations and a medical mission for PVE content (besides exploring the world of course) and the rest was Darkzone?

Moment the item is on extraction rope it's safe and you will get the item no matter what.

someone who played the alpha earlier said that once the loot is on the hook,it's safe.
I think it was also said in one of the bigger youtuber videos

Well there it is.


Have any of you guys done the Agent Test?

[Darryl M R]

there's also another gear set "Survival" (or something like that)...don't know which countries have access to it

here's a pic of it (first outfit on the left...red coloring)

I really want that survival kit.

Can you mix and match skills? Or do you have to stay on one tree?

Wonders if that was Xbox or PC footage. hmmm

It had the A button for one of the covers, so unless they were playing controller on PC, it was bone.

Looks like it, the beta video just posted by Ubisoft shows the same content

yup.....that was usually the best way to get items out....just bum rush the heli when it lands and clip.....you die, just go wandering again and ignore the LZ.




Also bummer that beta is the same as alpha. It means I'll be done within a day unless I want to go into the gank zone.

I can't wait for that patch where they add action interruption if you are injured

Every story needs a bad guy, I'll be the GAF hunter.

I will join you on your journey....

no need......you could take players down fast enough if you knew how to aim.

killing really players isn't really that spongy

So aim for the head, like you should do?

 

[axb2013]

I would wait until after beta, at which point the deal will probably be gone but cdkeys.com has the Division PC preorder for $35: http://www.cdkeys.com/pc/games/tom-clancy-s-the-division-pc-cd-key-uplay

If your initial reaction resembles mine, I've bought games from them in the past, cdkeys via paypal has been a smooth ride so far.

 

[ViciousDS]

nah, if you were consistent with body shots even. TTK isn't insane lol. Only the PvE mobs will probably be really hard and if you are severely under geared against other players. But brackets will level everything out.

 

[mrjohill]

They have any revolvers in this game?

 

[wowzors]

I don't recall the alpha download being this large, so it's a little odd that the map restriction would be the same.

So just steady center mass hits? No crit damage?

PvP on PC should be interesting then. After all mouse provides one with superior aiming speed, accuracy and recoil control. Rushing containers to rope may be 100% no go on PC for that reason if it's still somewhat viable on consoles.

 

[Diablohead]

I was completely uninterested in the devision until the other day, i'm starting to see what the game is trying to be and excited to play the beta now.

I got the same result. It was close between Competitive & Perceptive.

 

[On Demand]

Yesterday my beta code was available on the uplay site. Today i go to check and it's back to saying i don't have any.

Huh?

 

[Tecnniqe]

I got the same result. It was close between Competitive & Perceptive.

32% perc to 35% comp for me i think

Most of those questions should be open to multiple answers. Oh well.

 

[Death Metalist]

Got it all installed and ready to go, 14 hours left.

 

[ViciousDS]

alpha was still big

23.2GB

 

[Broadbandito]

Hype levels....intensifying

 

[Tecnniqe]

Wait are the other missions locked? I can only access Mission 1 :|

 

[Mozendo]

Well there it is.

Funny thing is every cooperative or competitive game i play support class :|

 

[cripterion]

Anyone know the final size of the game? Curious if the last GB we download will be for Brooklyn.

40GB according to Steam

Oh nice, so there very well could be more to it than the map revealed so far!

 

[Collateral22]

That will most likely be DLC.

At least is looks better than the Alpha. Textures looked really poor at times, 720p or less if I had to guess.

https://youtu.be/4tVrHtynUJ0?t=35

there sure are
also bolt action rifle

 

[Tovarisc]

Preview event in which youtubers got to play, and what is suggested for beta too, game started you at level 4 and arriving to Manhattan via helodrop with injured Agent in tow. Then there was dialogue about how shit went bad and how this is personal etc etc. This to me suggests that there is "tutorial segment" to the game that we are yet to see and extraction from there requires helo.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was Brooklyn, lvl 1-4 and inaccessible after completing tutorial segments and story prologue.

Interesting. I still think they will open up most of NY with DLC though, like the surrounding areas and such. The Season Pass for this game is the most expensive Ubi one yet so I am hoping for good content being released.

You're setting yourself up for disappointment

I'm going to wow everyone with my gadgets, tech it is.

One thing I want to know, can you ADS with scopes you put on your guns, say like you could in Ghost Recon Future Soldier?

Quote to reveal PS4 code.

 

[Alias03]

It actually depends on the zoom level. I believe if its more than 1.5 zoom it will go into first person. I believe that's how it works, so not all scopes will go into first person.
