Unfortunately, the entire system behind equipment and itemization was gutted and replaced as of Warlords' release- even in the base game without purchasing the expansion. You're looking for third person cover shooting and magic treasure guns. You're not here looking for a great story, and you're not going to get it. The rehashed New York environments are decent, and the story is your typical Tom Clancy affair.

If this demo is a true taste of what we can expect from Division 2, then I believe we are in for a serious treat when it launches March 15th, 2019. Running a four player team will be an absolute highlight of Division 2. But one thing is clear to me – the developers are taking the core things we love about The Division and tweaking them to make the gameplay and overall experience even better. I always have to keep in mind that these demos are specifically designed to impress, and it may not exactly reflect the final product. Overall, I came away extremely satisfied with the demo. I’ll most likely play it on the Xbox One X. I’m sure the game will look even better as it continues to develop. The Washington area is beautiful…despite being, you know, a warzone. The game looked fantastic on the Xbox developer kit. Weapons can be found from downed enemies or crates, and I’m sure that will remain the same when the game is out.įor an early demo, The Division 2 ran very smooth. The developers wanted the media to have access to a variety of weapons specifically for the demo.

Of course, this will most likely change when the full game launches. Besides my crossbow, I had a variety of automatic weapons and shotguns to choose from. My equipment loadout was full of yellow and purple weapons. Although the demo didn’t give me a lot of time to look through the system, it looks pretty similar to the first game. The gun system and classifications are back in Division 2. While they didn’t bring a whole lot to the table (or at least they didn’t in my demo), it would be pretty neat to see communities come to support you as you work to bring order to Washington DC. I’m not sure if this is a feature for this mission in particular, or if we will get this type of support for all kinds of missions. In the demo, NPC came to support the mission. It was an exhilarating experience (even though my teammates didn’t talk a lot).Īnother noticeable highlight is the NPC support. We had our sharpshooter take a high vantage point on the wing of the plane while my other teammates and I stuck to the ground and worked our way through the enemy. The different strategies came in handy at Air Force One. It looks like strategy is going to be a pretty big emphasis in Division 2. We could have stayed at our high vantage point the entire time, or we could have split up and flanked the enemy. From there, we found cover and laid waste to the enemy below. At the start of the level, we climbed to the second floor of a building. One thing that stuck out to me was the amount of vantage points and ways you can attack an objective. When I asked a team member about the level, he assured me that the demo takes place much later in the game, so it looks like your progress from the first game will not transfer to Division 2. You may have noticed that the characters in the trailer were level 30. We were tasked with making our way to Air Force One. The mission played almost exactly like the trailer. Keep in mind, this was an E3 demo, so there may be adjustments in the amount of ammo crates when the game is launched. Now I didn’t start with crossbow ammo, but there was plenty of ammo to be found as I went through the mission. The other classes also had special weapons, along with a primary and secondary weapon. My character, the Survivalist, had a special crossbow with explosive arrows. The demo, set in Washington, DC, featured a lot of action and a look at the different specialists of Division 2. In my brief demo at an Xbox media event on the 10th, I had the chance to play the level that was shown at the Xbox E3 Keynote. At this point, what should you do with the sequel? Do you make massive overhauls to attract more gamers? Or do you make minor adjustments? Overall critic reviews are at 80 (according to Metacritic ), but user ratings are at a 7.6. While the Division has a core audience, the ratings were a bit mixed. When Division 2 was announced, many thoughts went through my mind. E3 2018: Hands On Impressions Of The Division 2
