Brooklyn was planned for the game in 2013, but is not in on release. I'm going to say that you actively do NOT want a map of the entire island of Manhattan. That's 90 sq km, basically half of DayZ's Map. That's too much map for this kind of game. People were screaming bloody murder when they had to run more than two blocks to find a pack of enemies. People would loving quit if one mission was at the Empire State Building and the next one was in Harlem.

Subjunctive posted:They showed Brooklyn a while ago, but it's not in at release. We're supposed to get all (most?) of Manhattan, as I understand it. I am pretty sure Brooklyn is where you spend levels 1-4 but who knows. We're definitely not getting all of Manhattan in this release. Most of Midtown, down towards Soho and up towards Central Park. It still seems like a big ol' map to me once you factor in underground areas and buildings that are explorable in some cases.

Destiny's maps are really all that big and this looks like it has the same type of dungeons that are always in the world and now they just have a mission in them when you pick it. Having played the beta I'm not concerned about the map size because it all looks the same so I couldn't tell it wasn't very large. Also I like to shoot dudes and so the map size doesn't affect that.

Re: complaining about travel distances, in the final release there will be safe houses (like there was in the beta DZ) that can be quick travelled between. If you don't like walking, fast travel will be an option. As to whether they'll expand the map? Possibly? Central Park is too close to the currently playable game world to not be eventually added. Everything south of midtown? That seems less likely cause it's a lot of play area. Only Ubisoft knows.

So I haven't had a chance to play this game during the beta. How is the medic spec? I typically play as a healer in RPGs, and being a guy who can heal damage and shoot guns sounds pretty okay to me! I'll be playing on the ps4, for what that's worth.

Not sure about 'spec' (as in class/role?) but seemingly, upgrading certain parts of the medical wing gives you a gadget that can area heal along with mods (the two available in the beta were either being able to revive a downed buddy, or briefly buffing those you healed with +extra attack).

Playing a Medic in Division seems all to about your position relative to your squad. All the healing abilities require some sort of aiming or careful placement. Combined with some security skills you can be a real boon for your squad while being able to deal out some decent damage.

True  I hope we find a few Echo's that show random guys joining the factions/being pushed to it to get an inside look at their mental state when they go "Yeah, time to flamethrow the population." etc.

Anyone wish there was more levels to explore in the small part of the Dark Zone we got to play? I noticed how linear the map was and how not every road had a cut through. Having a "roof top" level, could bring a bit more diversity to the game i.e. being able to progress down a road via the rooftops instead of the road. Also, did anyone catch wind on what they are doing about the threat levels? The NPCs in the game had weird threat level control (such as remembering your threat level after having left an area for 5 minutes and then heading back). There didn't seem to be a distinction between a tanking player and a dps player. Even when someone was in the open it didn't seem like the NPCs would exclusively target that player.

Interesting that much of the prerelease media had the game set in Brooklyn. So much so that it seems like it would have been a huge undertaking to relocate the game to midtown, which is in the more recent media. Maybe at some point in development they wanted to make it more recognisably 'New York', so they moved it to Midtown to be near all the skyscrapers. Maybe we'll get some DLC in the future that allows crossing of the Broolyn Bridge to the closest bit of brooklyn that was seen in the original trailers. Presumably they'd need to extend the map further south to the lower east side and the financial district to do so, which is probably as big an area as the original map... They could always do a GTA4 type thing and 'condense' it I suppose. Personally I'd like to see the map go north into a Central Park dark zone. Would be thematically (and somewhat historically  ) accurate!:edit: actually just watched the e3 2013 trailer again. Looks like the Brooklyn Bridge connected right to the edge of midtown / central park, and the financial district was much more condensed. I'll bet it will be DLC.

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.

Just been watching the preview videos from the last view e3s. God its hilarious watching people standing on a stage with a controller awkwardly miming as if they are playing what is an obviously pre-rendered video. I never really got why people get surprised / angry when games don't out as graphically impressive as early trailers suggest, but i suppose pulling stunts like that certainly doesn't help.
