The Division. Are we interested?

Yes. It's a bit, 'low budget' but that's to be expected. I could see it making a good movie with a decent cast, budget and director. It's not terrible and does get much better later on. 6/10.

Brilliant! I actually went out of my way to check out some of the moving objects. I particularly liked that if you stood on a vehicle, like a pickup for example, it would bounce up and down in response to the extra weight. :D

How does one get involved in the open beta? Wait for it to show up on Steam? I can play a limited amount on Friday so would be keen to preload...

Edit: Christ, wishful thinking. It's Uplay of course! So I presume the steam sale just sideloads the Uplay client?

It is for sale on steam as well iirc.
 
I am really excited about this game tbh. I was unsure at first with Ubi being attached to it, but after playing the Closed Beta I cant wait to play the new mission released for the Open Beta from 19-21st.

Think my old rig will struggle to run the full game come March,but yea with our squads play style in DayZ, this game will be a great fit if they get it right. Although a lot of concern over much of the online game being clientside - making it very easy for people to cheat/hack in the game. They do state they are addressing this though. Main point of feedback after the closed beta was to address this.

I loved the beta, just watched the short film and am really looking forward to this, if it has good endgame content this could be great, ubi seem to really be making an efort with this one, lets hope its a new trend.

+1

I know people who have upgraded their GPUs after trying the closed beta. They were originally wanted a 970 or 980ti but I've persuaded some just to get a 390 as a stop gap and upgrade to Polaris/Pascal later in the year.

I myself am looking to get a mic for Discord and normally I don't bother but I can see it being beneficial in this game.

The Reddit The Division community have also created a Radio which will be getting better and better in terms of content and having a busy schedule. I've played a tiny part in this so would like it if people can give their feedback and check it out.

I have to ask, what is the point of a radio channel for this game? Not meaning it as a dig, just curious.

I know during Planetside 1 days there was a community radio channel which reported about what was taking place on the servers at the time. Like massive battles under way at one base or if one empire was about to lose all their bases. Outfits would request songs to be played to led them into battle etc. But this worked as since there were only a couple of servers what was being reported could affect a lot of people playing at that time. I know a few times I would have it on in the background doing something else and it's almost like a call to arms when you hear that your empire is struggling and you would jump on to help.

With this one though, is it to just report on any news from Ubisoft? How is the schedule going to be filled?

Good luck with it, I've bookmarked it.

What a sad observation that is. Especially to say there are Ubisoft employees who are actively posting in this thread. And yet anyone who say's anything good about the game must work for them?

I agree with him, the style of writing is unusual.

I don't think he's saying that because there is positive opinion that he works for ubi, just that it sounds a bit pitch-ey.
 
Exactly skyfall, it sounded like an advertisement rather than a normal forum post. I don't have anything against the game or people enjoying it as it's just a computer game.

I guess

1) It's just for fun, users can request songs and they will be manually added to the song list.
2) It does report news but then by all means stick with the official channel or forums
3) No idea about the schedule. Some hosts will talk about division related news when they have things to talk about. However it is not a rehearsed Podcast or scripted Youtube video, the details are a bit sketchy atm.
 
I'll play the open beta and then decide. Not going to pre-order, but since I can buy the key in € which is basically monopoly money it won't hurt.

By the looks of the game I'll enjoy it, I just need to see if I get migraines from the motion/engine or not.
