I had about a day and a half with the beta and I came away very positive about it. It's the co-op loot shooter I was hoping to find in Destiny. Walking around in the city getting into random firefights just feels right (which is very much an analog to the patrol sections in Destiny). It feels both engaging and at the same time a good game to turn off your brain and chat with friends as you complete a mission. I don't do preorders anymore but I'm seriously considering making an exception for this game.

The Division Open Beta Thread: Is it out yet?

Agreed. Developers really don't know how to direct voice actors in 99% of cases.
Naughty Dog are one of the only teams who get it.

Go for it, man.
Ubisoft seems to have finally taken their head out of their ass and started to make some interesting games
And now we can start with mutants , and aliens
VAMPIRES

CRAB PEOPLE AND MOLEMANS!!!!
It's a clancy game - it will always just be humans.
However, I do think there may be bits where we encountered people infected or terribly sick with the disease.
In the Beta we saw, what, 4 enemy types for the Cleaners? I think there are more in the full game - but besides, there are two other factions: the Rikers and the military-enclave folk. Presumably they'll both have their own enemy/types variants.
There's also musing that part of the Division might be corrupt/gone dark. Specifically because they say the "first wave" of agents went AWOL (we're the second wave).
True that.
Rainbow Six Siege and Assassin's Creed Syndicate, both incredible - and now possibly The Division.
If they pull it off, I'd even call myself a Ubisoft fan, for the first time since the mid-'00s.
Far Cry Primal looks pretty dull, though.

Well i mean humans strictly as functioning humans with weapons as we've seen in game so far. I think there might be another "faction" of sick, mutated, or in some way "different" people. At least i'm hoping so. Even if they're a sneaky, hide and jump attack melee type of human faction... something different or unexpected would be cool.

Did you hear that buddy? Yes cry now.
There could be, but I think it's unlikely. Look up the 'Factions' trailer. I'm pretty sure the ones in that trailer are the only factions in the game: the Division, the Cleaners, the Rikers, and the military-folk (forget the name).
Only thing that matters is how many P's your game have
1080
And people who are busy dying of a horrible disease normally wouldn't take on highly trained military types. Mostly they just curl up and die quietly

If i had to bet i'd say you're right but I think they could really work something neat into the game mechanic wise. Maybe if there were "infected" versions of each fraction that had different behaviors, weapons, abilities, and appearances etc. Imagine "infected" Cleaners who were visually sick, deformed and 'not right'... what if they set themselves on fire at the sight of you and sprinted at you full steam ahead! Or "infected" Last Man Battalion who were also visually sick and deformed and had some creepy new ability to hide extremely well and pop out randomly throughout certain areas of the world at night and toss grenades and take shots with sniper rifles etc. Eh... i'm just a little scared that all the human, rifle shooting bad guys might blend into one boring enemy after awhile.

Pretty much
Yeah, I remember some Cleaner Engineer using a turret on me. I am guessing the LMB will be way more like Division members in terms of tactics and skills. Hopefully they have some unique ones to battle against.

I'd be all over mutants and aliens, at least they have brains to use weapons and stuff.
I hate zombies, they're just so boring. Running and leaping at you till the end of time. Thank god I don't have to deal with them in this game.
I think I am Legend "zombies" would be really cool and scary.
Maybe when the whole map is a DZ expansion comes out, they will fill it with crazy NPC's too!
Bolded, how that rumor got so much traction? Isn't it based only on vague description of 2nd DLC?

I believe you had:
Lightning bolt: Rusher
Grenade: Grenadier
Rocket: Heavy Weapons
Shield: Tank
Medic Cross: Medic
Turret??: Engineer
Crosshairs: Sniper
Could work. Quite Gears of War'ey.
We'll find out in a couple of weeks anyway
Yeah
Sneaky AI sticky grenade the team of 4
Exactly. Like have a fight where a person can get hit by a sticky grenade which means the team have to split up and that person has to get away from the team so they wont be caught in the blast. Then the healer has to be on point for healing etc.
Agree.
Like the boss in the morgue mission. Would be cool if he could chuck a fire turret down that has a long range or something like that. Or if fire stayed on the floor for a short while so you had to kite him around.
I think a few videos have picked up on it. Some even mentioned that it happens at lvl 30, even without the Season stuff.
Are they confusing 2nd DLC with whole DZ area becoming level 30 @ level 30 instead of being divided into 6 segments?
Challenge mode!?
Give it five pages and we'll be back on the subject.

Cool, infected people are still a thing.
More like a "dungeons", heroic dungeons
Good. Embrace the pandemic theme to its fullest and just be glib about zombies. We cool, Division.
That's what it sounds like to me.

That is possible. They might be tagging the two together.
