Is that the one you saw?

Going by that the video posted contains less swear words than the cereal shop riot video :confused:.

Maybe I just don't get the rules and it's more to do with the source of the video with swearing.

At one point the rules were "any swearing is bad". They have now been relaxed to the point that some swearing in videos is given leniency. Based on this I simply removed the video in question and took no further action against the poster for posting it.

Some situations (e.g. a news report video that has an item of swearing in it somewhere) are arguably more acceptable than others.
 
I enjoyed the first beta and then this beta, both times however I was suprised at how quickly I became uninterested.

If the SP is any good then I may pick this up in the sales. The DZ stuff although ok to a point just because a bit meh. Run here, shoot them, grab stuff, avoid people, extract. Rinse & Repeat. I know it was a beta though so not expecting loads of stuff to do.

I'm hoping the game has more depth on full release without being DLC restricted.

Dunno just got bored quickly.
 
What shooter isn't run to x shoot, run to y, do something shoot some more?

I can imagine this feeling slow solo but get on with a few mates then this offers a great deal.

Anyone saying poor graphics needs an eye test, or better yet, just go away and leave this thread to people who want to enjoy it.

I have to admit I started to get a bit bored towards the end of the beta, I had the same with borderlands after a while, and to some extent Fallout. It just becomes a kind of loot fruit machine after a while, and you just stop caring about the environment or story.

Then there's the trolling. A combination of a squad following you everywhere attempting to get you to go rogue, and abuse of the in game voip. There was a bizarre standoff between Nexus and some annoying little troll last night, it was like some Soundboard DJ fight to the death.

I think the key to this game is main story thread and playing co-op with your mates. I suspect the attraction of the PvP will be limited in the long run.

Yeah...I kind of got that impression towards the end of my playing yesterday. I much more enjoyed the story missions than the PvP aspects (which is abnormal for me when it comes to games if I'm honest). I did quite like how different the DZ felt though - so being able to drop in and out of if regularly to break up the rest of the game might work quite well for me...it just won't work as something that is my main time sink.
 
That's my worry too Maverick - I only played single player for a couple of hours but felt a little underwhelmed by it. It felt like a Watchdogs environment (not as free flowing movement as I'd have liked) and the enemies all looked the same etc.

I DID enjoy it, just not sure it's worth £30.
 
Don't part quote me, either the whole thing is nothing at all.

Criticism is fine but keep it constructive. The game isn't perfect but some of the comments are beyond idiot - tell me a game you enjoy and i'm willing to bet we could tear is to shreds with pointless assumptions and comments, is that what you want to see? I sure as hell don't which I why I want to keep it out of here.
 
Well i've only had a bit of time on it over the weekend, but I've had a right mare.

Firstly, on Friday it keeps crashing "The Division has stopped working". I didn't have any issues on the closed beta. Ran it for an hour last night and it didn't happen again.
Secondly, I upgraded to 21:9 last week, I've ran it on 3440x1440p Ultra, with V-Sync off. I'm getting around 27fps avg on Sli 970s that have been clocked to be slightly better than a stock 980ti. Now I'm praying to RNGeezus, that this is just an optimisation issue, as the latest Nvidia drivers gave us the Sli profile for Division. So my heads a bit blagged at the mo. :mad:

True but this isn't a normal shooter. I'd expect that type of gameplay in say a Battlefield or CoD game but this feels more like an RPG. Just the RPG/story side didn't really get shown in the beta.

I played the weekend in groups and although it made it more interesting I still felt pretty underwhelmed afterwards. Hopefully the story side of the game is good as I could take or leave the DZ side.
 
I rather enjoyed the DZ pvp until hacky came along.

Based on the beta alone I'd but it but I'm going to wait a while see what the full reviews say and see what the anti cheat ends up like.

On one 980ti (not overclocked) with everything maxxed out @ 3440x1440 my fps is hovering around 50-55 but with gsync on if I didn't have the fps counter on I wouldn't notice it being under 60.
 
I see a lot of unfair criticism and not enough praise with this game.

My only complaint i really have for the game is when your attacking a enemy and some guy will stand in front of your line of fire instantly making you a rogue agent. That's really about it other than that i think it's phenomenal.

After sinking 20 hours into both betas and getting max gear with full epic attachments and the "High end" AR that's pretty good considering it's just a beta that goes upto level 8. The fact it's taken me 20 hours to do every mission, side missions find all the phone recordings and get max gear in the beta.

I think that graphics look seriously amazing at 3440x1440 on ultra. I can't think of any other 3rd person shooter that looks this good, Maybe the most recent tomb raider but that's a SP only game. Even know it has a graphic downgrade i think it's one of the best looking games regarding a vanilla product with no additional mods added it looks seriously great so i'm not sure why people are bashing the graphics saying the look average, because they really don't.

The little details are amazing, walking into fallen lights while still on and watching the lights react to my physics is cool, standing on a car and watching the suspension lower because on my characters weight. Door's falling of the hinge, windows smashing, just everything is very well done.

Gameplay is very solid also, the movements/animations are very smooth, you can't wall peek anyone like you could on gears of war with the sniper as far as i'm aware of, so that's a huge + especially in the DZ.

I love everything about the game, it's gone above and beyond my expectations and i'm glad i've got my gold edition preorder down for it and looking forward to the full game.

March 8th can not come fast enough.
 
Spawnsy, I think it was mentioned several pages back that Ubi state they don't support SLI for Beta's hence the poor performance you saw. I hope they fix it for you on the Release version.

Really looking forwards to this now, either waiting for a sub £50 for the gold edition again or a code from MM when they start appearing.

I sink about 26hours into this beta to complete everything, buy both legendary weapons and kit to Max my character out for what I was trying to achieve. I ended up:

Firearms - 4450
Health - 7100
Special - 1100

I could play for hours with the weapon attachments to work out what is best (for me or the situation) , it's surprisingly in depth.

Roll on release! :D

Aye, I saw this. Was hoping it was fixed as both cards were being used and we had the Nvidia Sli profile.
