THE DIVISION

[Xsannz]

Beta launches soon for pc (jan 28)

Ordered the collectors watch edition, even though its UBISHIT


it still looks lik ethis could be the next groundbreaker benchmark setter in the FPS gaming worls / MMO space.

It comes out on my birthday

[Retardobot]

Pre-ordered the gold edition for Xbox. Would have gone PC but my bro and the crew I played with for Destiny are all on Xbox.

Preloading as I speak, I'm not too hyped about this but will see what I think. I'm on PC

[Retardobot]

Downloaded the BETA today. Should be fun times for the weekend.

[BeNZene]

Tempted to pre-order. Keen to have a go at this one...

[EnjoyTheSauce]

G2A have beta keys for $3. Picked one up.

[Xsannz]

I preloaded yesterday, ready for today..

[AvatarFACE]

Just saw this, have not tried it but if it still works it's free beta keys:

Played a bit this morning, was enjoyable though no matter what settings I changed I could not get push to talk to work. Wish it had a text chat.

lol no mic n00b :p
Just joking, I've had trouble in previous games, I've  usually been able to solve it by changing defaults in control panel :/

[AvatarFACE]

Yea I tried that got my default mic input correct, works fine in BF4. Tried changing the default push to talk button in Division from "c" but no luck either.

[Pigdog]

Tried plugging in a new mic and setting it a default? I have a Samson Meteorite I use for recording music, usually games recognise it.

Well I think this just dropped off my "buy pre 75% off sale" list.

[AvatarFACE]

Yea I'm not buying it anymore, I was seriously considering it. Maybe if it's at 50% off and the gameplay improves somewhat.

[Plasma]

Ill still buy it for the PVE side.

But PVP fucking lol, I guess they have another month to rewrite the netcode.

Also.. but I simply don't pay more than $30ish for PVE games.

ITT - chumps judging a game off a 2hr BETA.

Content was heavily locked down.

Let me guess, you all played solo as well?

[Plasma]

Played 21hrs of solo/co-op PVE and solo/group PVP. Still looking forward to it, but less so on the PVP side if they don't sort the issues out.

[EnjoyTheSauce]

Beta doesn't light my world on fire. Will be waiting for some reviews of the full release to see what the game adds to whats in the beta.

But tbh, I don't see more skills/perks plus a bigger map changing the beta experience all that much.

ROFLOL SHIT NET CODE

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-02-01-the-division-beta-pc-players-are-giving-themselves-godlike-powers

so basically this console port can be hacked wide open on PC and pc players are godlike by increasign clientside stats which even makes them invisile server side, because their speed is too fast for netcode to calculate..    ROFUCKINGLOL

[Tiwaking!]

This game made it onto Google news.

Having actually spent an evening playing the Beta now, it's hard to disagree that it's a very unpolished turd.

Yet I still cling to some hope they can fix it, there are glimmers of what I was hoping for in there, just have to wait and see how good release is vs beta, but not looking good at all at this stage.

[Retardobot]

I'm genuinely under the impression that they locked down too much content for the beta.

I'm certain that the gameworld will seem a lot more active once the game goes retail.
