Me and my friend were going to get it on PC, but his flatmate is getting it for PS4 and our other friend is on the fence about it, but if he decides yes then it will be PS4 for him too. Potentially could be four of us and I'd rather play co-op like that than 1-2 on PC, even though I'm primarily a PC gamer.
More End Game details revealed
Gear Sets
Gear set equipment can be found by completing the most challenging activities in Manhattan.
Collecting and wearing gear sets grant powerful stat bonuses and talents.
Gear sets of varying gear scores can be found for many playstyles. Find the set that best suits yours.
“Tactician's Authority” – enhances electronics and support capabilities
“Striker's Battlegear” – provide bonuses for assault capabilities
“Sentry's Call” – enhances marksman capabilities
“Path of the Nomad” – provides bonuses for lone wanderers
Item trading
Items dropped by enemies can be shared with other players.
Trade items by dropping them as loot from your inventory, so players in your group can pick them up.
You can only share items for a limited amount of time after you have acquired them.
Items can only be shared with players who are currently in your group and who were also in your group when the item was originally dropped.
Daily and Weekly Missions
Global and Personal Assignments are automatically obtained when you log in and can be tracked from the map via the menu called “Mission Overview”.
Assignments are available for a limited time, after which, they will be replaced by different assignments.
Assignments come in four different categories:
Combat
Dark Zone
Crafting
Main Missions
Most assignments can be completed while playing alone but some will require enlisting other agents assistance to complete.
Supply Drops
Dark Zone Supply Drops are a global event where the Strategic Homeland Defense agency air drops multiple supply caches to assist Division agents.
Supply drops will occur multiple times over the course the day.
The supply drops will contain non-contaminated gear of all types that will be ready to use without the need for extraction.
These supply drops will be heavily sought after by other agents and enemy factions that roam the Dark Zone, so be ready for resistance.
Gear Score
Compare the Gear Score of the most powerful items in the game to know which one is the best. Increase your average Gear Score to gauge your chances against high end content and display your prowess in the Dark Zone.
Every non-vanity gear piece that can be found when your agent is level 30 has a Gear Score value. The higher an item’s Gear Score, the stronger the item.
The overall Gear Score of your agent can be seen in your main menu next to your player level. Gear Score indicates the advancement of an agent.
Other agents’ Gear Scores are displayed next to their health bars.
Improving your gear and increasing your overall Gear Score will grant your agent access to the most dangerous high end challenges. Your Average Gear Score can be found in the main menu and is visible to other players. It is the average value of all equipped gear pieces.
Challenge Mode
Play main missions in Challenge Mode with new encounter compositions and stronger enemies to receive high end rewards.
The challenge mode is now available in Lincoln Tunnel Checkpoint, Lexington Event Center, WarrenGate Power Plant and Russian Consulate.
You must have completed the mission once and have a Level 30 character before you can play challenge mode.
The encounter compositions are reshuffled to offer a new challenge and the amount of enemies is balanced for 4 players.
All enemies are now level 32 elites.
Edit: Challenge Mode looks like destiny nightfall, but with 4 missions each week

Thanks for that update Dredd, gotta say all that stuff sounds wicked, set gear is brilliant, reminds me of proper RPG type stuff.
Gear Score worries me a little, as it reminds me of WoW raids with people wanting to know gearscore before they invited you on a raid lol. Good way though of telling how tough someone should be i guess?
Challenge mode sounds brilliant and the supply drop thing also sounds excellent.
Getting hyped now! Wife is at night school this evening until around 9PM so i will have a good couple of hours tonight once the kids go to bed to play this in peace and quiet

Gear score is what your light level became in Destiny in Year 2. No biggie for me.
Google docs spreadsheet I think. Post your usernames and any videos / links which you found and think might be helpful for others in understanding how it all works. The division is going to be very RPG orientated to lots to learn. Link again for anybody that missed it
Nope, next Destiny DLC is marked for then AFAIK - right inbetween the 2nd and 3rd Division expansions...
EDIT: Anyone actually fancy trying to get all the useful links and friends list and start a new thread? This one is gonna explode today and seems mad it kicks off at page 50-odd, especially when we cant throw all the useful things in the first page...
And by anyone I mean Frodders, Davey Pitch or Dredd considering the obscene amount of posts in this thread

Just played through the prologue and got to the start of where it puts you in on the beta. Loving it so far looks like I will be sinking a load of time on this

We need an official thread, with stars in the title and everything 
I was really hoping there would be some variation in end game gear, rather than there being the meta. I'd hate to think after a few weeks everyone is running around with the same setup.
I might be alone here too, but I'm also a little disappointed there's a weekly routine grind much like Destiny. From a personal point of view I really wanted to play this game without feeling the need to prioritise it over my life the moment it resets every week. That's a personal demon I need to fight though

I suppose it depends on what role you play if you play in a group and also depending on your group size.
with 3 or 4 I imagine you can have one of you as a 'tank' with loads of health etc. With 2 pure dps and one more towards a 'healer' role.
However speccing heavily into a tank and/or healer probably isn't advisable if there are only two of you. Likewise if you lonewolf it.
But I suppose you can't get away from their ultimately being a best weapon, bes tpiece of armor etc. The difference might just be what kind of weapon you like to use (shotgun/assault rifle/sniper/ etc.)

Not really, the gear you run will depend on what style you want to play, whether you want to be a tank, support or DPS style player. That will generally determine what gear you use. And thankfully at least everyone will look different with clothing being separate to gear in terms of how you look.
I was so glad to see this. That the gear sets are holsters/backpack/knee-pads etc and not your clothing
weapon cosmetics include weapon skins and mods change the look of weapons (high end weapons don't have skins)
