Some how missed the news but this has now officially been announced. I have put so much time into the franchise ever since that awsome trailer for the first game. It still give me chills.

The division 2 also felt like a semi upgrade but it never really held my attention unlike 1.

So very much looking forward to this. I believe development will start once they have wrapped up their Starwars game.

From what I’ve seen of their Star Wars game it kind of looks like division 2.1 anyway. Regardless, absolutely loved both Division games and the lore and worlds around them. D3 day one purchase for me.
 
I remember doing all nighters on Division 1 - Absolutely loved the setting, if I re-call correctly it was a huge graphical jump at the time too.

I never played the 2nd one due to life events (Child)

But looking forward to this, highly likely I’ll pick it up.
 
D1 I think was probably the only online game where I have been on or near to the front of the curve. Always had the gear for the latest meta builds and really enjoyed the grind. Was probably the first game where I started watching and copying people on youtube with massively OP builds and one shotting Larae Barret and breaking the game. Well ain't that some ***
Loved it although felt massively let down at first as the gameplay seemed very different to the trailers we were sold on. End game was an absolute shambles too until the extensive rework. Outside of the DZ the world felt very vast and empty. Although joining other agents was relatively seamless I would love it if they implement the squad aspects of MW3 Zombies.
 
D1 was an odd mix of an absolute amazing game and a huge let down, especially so much of the open world being unused and so many orphaned gameplay mechanics, etc.
 
I've only played Division 1 but I loved it (and I played 95% of it single player). There were definitely issues with how quiet the open world actually was, but it kind of also played into the story.
 
friends and I put so much time into D2 and what a game! I have weirdly enough just started out on D1 myself so this news comes as an awesome surprise!

Totally missed it as well!
 
Yep setting of D1 for me better than D2. NY and winter just worked so well.

One of the problems that I suppose you get in any game like this is the balances of the builds. There is so much to spec into but in reality there is very little diversity when you are hitting the higher tiers. I know it’s hard but would be great to have loads of viable options.

Sometimes I think people care a bit too much about balance to the point it makes things too uniform and boring ruining many a game despite a small number of people who are very vocal about having everything perfectly balanced. For example with D1 the Lightweight M4 excels at everything compared to the other variants of it, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, what is bad is that none of the others have any area they significantly have any advantage for example a variant could have higher damage than the LWM4 but not the accuracy, unfortunately super precision at a lower damage level isn't an advantage in the game but there is scope for other options as well - say having a variant which can't compete with the LWM4 for its mixture of handling and damage but with a bonus to weak points i.e. % chance of hitting a weak point causing the enemy to be momentarily stunned, etc. (though that doesn't quite nicely fit with the way item bonuses were used in the game which was mostly a distinguishing feature of unique items).

Cross-play would be good, I can only kill console players :D

You'll regret saying that if it has controller auto aim like many cross platform games have now. Ever since PC-Console crossplay became a thing, developers have been adding in stronger and stronger aim bots for console players and now we have a number of games where console players kill pc players because of how strong the aim its are

Yeah I didn't realise until I was reading through the MW3 PC thread recently. About time :p

Exactly my point. You can have literally thousands of build and weapon variations but running anything other than an AR or SMG at end game is pointless. They may as well not even bother putting shotguns, pistols or marksmen rifles in D3.
I made a Firecrest build with extra damage to on fire targets, flame turret, seeker mines and an M4 that had a chance of procing fire damage which was loads of fun to run with but everyone else was 4 piece striker with an SMG and just melting everyone.
