Played for about 3 hours and loved it , Love the sense of dread in the dark zone. Played with 3 randoms and we did a few missions. All in all its day 1 from me.

Camp Hudson, I believe this is where you first spawn.
It feels ok. A bit like Gears, bit of Uncharted. Enemies are pretty spongy if you don't score head shots. I've only seen a few enemy types at the moment, and they love to throw gas grenades, lol. Just made it to the dark zone. Hopefully something a bit more than the run of the mill thug guys for pve in there.
Wait for it... Same happened to me.

I would say Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, same feeling and mechanics, but improved and refined imo.

Sorry, haven't read the thread, but is there a way to turn down the volume on the guy who comes over the radio? I have my headphone mix favoring my party chat and the volume of the radio guy is like 50x louder than everything.
Grenades... Lots. Run, cover, shoot, repeat.
Its definitely been mentioned a couple places (ie. http://www.vg247.com/2016/01/29/the-division-dark-zone-guide/)
With the beta zone restrictions its quite possible there aren't any accessible points for it yet though.
Meaning cqc or punches.

Everything plays very smoothly, joining buddies is a breeze, haven't played DZ yet, but will do later.
Graphics and really good, also smoke effects etc. I compared PC/PS4 and I could see the same amount of details (as in: same items on the scene/screen).
Of course if you play on PC at 1440p and high/highest settings you can see the (big) difference, at 1080p not so much.

I can't come up with a good gif, but I have a bad feeling.. D=
Its basically destiny as a cover based Military shooter
I think there are at least 4... different levels for each
Ah sweet, don't know how I missed that info. I hope they do some Dark Zone shit with the underground.

God I feel like half of the people in here are trolling. What games are they playing that looks so amazing?
The Dark Zone is split into 6 level brackets. DZ01-DZ06

Camp Hudson (the area where your chopper land on the start) and the safe houses are the social areas. The vendors and quest npcs are on the Base of Operations
I did the first mission (taking back the base) and then the missing persons mission and I'm kind of mixed on the game so far. Missing Persons mission was a whole bunch of running around with very minimal enemy encounters (only one that I recall). The main mission was also pretty similar to that. Gunplay seems fine to me though.
Does it pick up? I'm really wanting to like the game but so far it just comes across dull to me.

I appreciate Massive creating hairstyles for black men that actually have a good hairline. A lot of games don't offer good hairstyles so hopefully the full game us even better.

Someone made a comment earlier saying that was significantly less tearing on the PS4
That's an actually insane statement.

Ah so we've begun the "looks like last gen" posts have we?

Hoping for some kind of rep system separate from Rogue status for DZ. I should be able to look at a guy and see if he has a high rate of going Rogue or not, so I know whether to watch him cautiously, help him if others attack him, etc.
For example, I saw a group of 3 Rogues down the street. My group decides to pursue the Rogues. While OTW, we see a non-Rogue walking around, and someone in my group calls out to not attack this neutral player. We pass him, and he shoots the member of my group who is further behind and kills him before the rest of us can turn and help. An indication that this player goes Rogue frequently would be nice.
Another example: Two players are battling just inside of the DZ entry point. One is Rogue because he attacked first, but maybe he just got ganked a minute ago and is going for the retaliation kill. In this case the original offender no longer has Rogue status, and the retaliating player does. Helping the non-Rogue seems right, but you're actually punishing the innocent bystander who was ganked and now wants revenge. What if you attack the Rogue, and the original offender turns on you?
Some sort of rep system which gives an indication of how often a player goes Rogue would be helpful. Keep the window to the last 7 days (for example), and you give someone the chance to turn over a new leaf and drop their rep if they so choose.

I managed to get my darkzone blues from DZ rank locked (needed 10) crates in quarantined zones.
Game's alright, but I think the setting really limits the potential for loot in the game. I'm going to wait for release to see if leveling becomes less boring when everything's unlocked and if there's a decent amount of content.

Same setup as you but with 16 GB ram. I've had the game hitching on me and lockup as well randomly. It doesn't happen as often as you so I still had a great time playing. My driver are updated to the latest ones from Nvidia.
My graphics are set to High/Nvidia-enabled settings and I'm getting 60fps with a few dips here and there. But otherwise the game looks pretty beautiful.
I've not found the HUD to be intrusive, especially as you can alter it. Furthermore, enemies (at least up to level 8 and even on hard) aren't really the bullet sponges people had made them out to be. I can take down 2-3 enemies (without armour) with a single clip from an assault rifle or SMG.
This is amazing. Game is packed with details like that.
Lot's on interactivity and destruction.
This is really neat. I didn't know it went to that level.
How persistent is it? Does it fade out while you look at it? Can you walk away from it, come back, and it's still there?
That top screen is gorgeous.
