Probably old news to everyone here, but I'm discovering this stuff for the first time since I didn't really have any interest in this game prior to the beta. Apparently there was a tablet companion app where you could assist squads with aerial drones.

https://youtu.be/sxj7jWTB368

Looks neat, but would have been a nightmare to implement reliably. Not surprised it was cancelled.

Like most companion apps: Fun to tool around in once or twice, until you realize its nowhere near as fun as playing the actual game itself so the app ultimately becomes a waste of time and resources.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
The map is plenty big, the bigger problem than map size is map variety. That's why having places like Central Park would be great; they'd be a huge difference from the city streets of Manhattan.

Having a few more blocks of Manhattan on the north or south wouldn't make a big deal on its own. Things need to be significantly different, which is what the DLCs are for.

I'd honestly rather they focused on content rather than expanding the map. The map staying the same size packed with content would be more appealing to me than a huge map with gently caress all to do in it (looking at you Destiny). I like the prospect of the whole map becoming a dark zone though, cause the PvE doesn't look like it has much longevity. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong but the DZ seems like it will be the main draw for a lot of players.

Yeah the whole zone being DZ is exactly what I want and its what I'm looking forward to the most. Everything else is just a bonus on top of that. Just give me a big DZ and I'm good.

The new trailer showing the enemy factions shows 5 factions.

The last one is The Division, because a bunch of sleeper agents with unlimited power and no oversite and access to military grade weapons is kind of The Bad Guys.

A Good Trailer.

Kinda wish I would have tried this. The best I got was some team trying to go rogue and take a bunch of us out as we were extracting. Unfortunately for them all the randoms banded together and kicked their asses.

When you die, don't know how it determines this, but you would drop a public and private loot. The public stuff can be looted by anyone and public can be only see by you.

I had a lucky moment where I died and the M14 rifle was the only thing I wanted and it dropped as private loot, so I picked it back up.

So much fun. It was real good doing this with a high electronics build to make your to sticky bomb do a stupid level of damage. It's fun watching 8 innocents try to put 4 on the rope and then scatter like cockroaches when the gunfire starts.

A sight improvement on this is to have >1 player throwing an improved sticky at the pickup spot, and doing it right before anyone's got a chance to hookup their loot.

Then you just waltz up, snatch everything and put it on the rope.

You probably won't make it through the manhunt but there giggles are worth it.
