Vice also did a 3 part promo-tie-in-documentary on how well prepared Canada is for an outbreak, that was pretty cool.

Or find secrets sashes in game?  EDIT: The final faction is going to be the missing "First Wave" Division, whom are probably behind the whole thing anyways. That, or some crazy Splinter-Cell black ops poo poo. Snuffman fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Feb 25, 2016 |

Did people piss and moan about TTK in Diablo or torch light. It takes like 3 seconds or less to kill anything I don't care how many video game magazines that translates to.

Guys I thought The Taken King was a really good expansion, and while Bungie appears to have squandered an opportunity to build something amazing, it was really fun for a while. I don't know why we're talking about The Taken King in a thread about a different game though!!

Expanding on the "we're probably hunting the first wave of The Division in endgame", has there ever been a Tom Clancy game that acknowledges the others exist? Like Splinter Cell showing up in Rainbow Six? I know none of the rest of the Clancy-verse appears in Splinter Cell, but that's the only Clancy-verse game I've really followed heavily until The Division came along. It'd be kinda cool if a Splinter Cell agent popped up in The Division. Fiff freedom and all.

Edit: Or am I confusing Heinlein's favorite recurring character? poo poo I don't remember When I was younger and reading the book, there was an underlying plot of Bunny Huggers as the Russian spy called them trying to create a super virus to kill all of the people because environmentalism. It was too far too nutjob for me, but that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the hints of plot in the Beta. V V V V Nebiros fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Feb 25, 2016 |

Rainbow Six Siege last "single" player map has terrorist nerve gassing a university and both rainbow and them have to fight in hazmat suits so who knows maybe have some tie in there, Siege doesn't really have a plot besides kill terrorist though.

Maybe they'll have a decent story reason for why these things happen but I doubt it. I'm really hoping that the story is at least decent, I enjoyed the single player beta missions and hope there's at least $30 worth of content there. I just wish the PvP was a little bit more objective driven rather than "kill this dude so you can take his scarf."

Hawx and Ghost Recon exist in the same universe, Hawx 2 opens with you escorting them somewhere as close air support. I think there was also a mission with a 3rd Echelon agent as well? I can't remember that well, Hawx 2 was really really bad.

So you'll be doing poo poo and checking your back for rogues. They also said they toned down NPC spawns for the beta, so who knows how dense it will be and if your PvP battles will be mixed with PvE.

The security shield should let you run around with an Axe out stabbing dudes rather than using your pistol.

poo poo, replace the pistol altogether with a baseball bat or a fire axe. I never used my pistol once in the beta, except for a vanity kill on a downed rogue. It takes the same amount of time to switch to as the other two weapons, and the only thing it really brings to the table is the unlimited ammo.

There are audio recordings, documents (survival guides?) and "echoes" but they don't show up on the map until you're basically on top of them. There's no 6 billion tonnes of bullshit on the map

I used my pistol all the time when running around not really looking for missions, but just random encounters by spamming the pulse ability. I would rather upgrade my pistol than anything else

Some of the pistols have an execution damage modifier that seems like it'd be really useful. Building yourself into the security tree with a rad sidearm and the blast shield for group content seems totally possible.

I ran a decent-ish Revolver I found and the Assault Shield saved me the... maybe three times I whipped it out before switching back to the grenade launcher for better damage spikes. I figure if I wasn't soloing the DZ, the Riot Shield with some of the upgrades that weren't available might actually be pretty viable.

I think it would be great to be able to replace the pistol with a melee weapon. Pistols are great though, because as its been said most of them have the executioner talent that makes them powerful when someone is sub 20-30% health.

Pistols also do double damage if your target is below 30% health. I didn't play enough of beta to say if that makes them worth using though.

But they will probably make collecting each set unlock a perk or something anyway because Ubisoft. Yeah - the one where you find the sister. It was really part of that whole chain, though.

The one where you hunt down Injured Asian Boss Lady's sister involved several ECHO collectibles, but it was also clearly marked on the map and not something you really needed to hunt down.

Shooting dogs is definitely not a joke, and I have no intention of making light of it. And it can be a tough and emotional thing for agents to go through, speaking from personal experience. And I know that it's often much harder on the shooter than on the dog. However, I also know that it doesn't necessarily turn you into a sad, depressed sack of tears for the rest of your life. People can move past it, and heal.
