Tom Clancy's The Division

anyone getting this? suppose to be like Destiny but more of a shooter taking place in New York. looks like a fun coop game. the only thing I dont like is that it uses Uplay and not steam which is garbage.

gonna be grabbing this on the PC if anyone wants to squad up. $48.50 preorder on cdkeys right now.

A smallpox pandemic spreads on Black Friday (transmitted by a virus planted onto banknotes), and sweeps through cities across the U.S. The United States Government collapses in five days; basic services fail and without access to food or water, the country quickly descends into chaos.[9]

The player is part of the Strategic Homeland Division (SHD), or "The Division" for short - a classified stay-behind force of self-supported tactical agents. Leading seemingly ordinary lives, SHD agents are trained to operate independently of command when all else fails. This group is established to combat the threat brought about by the outbreak and are given direct authority by the President of the United States to do whatever it takes to prevent the fall of society and piece the city back together. Throughout the game, the agents will find themselves caught in a worldwide conspiracy and will be forced to combat both the threats of the virus as well as those who unleashed it.

The Division takes place in mid-crisis New York, an open world with destructive environments that is free for players to explore. The player's mission is to restore order by investigating the source of a virus. Players have to team up with other Division agents as they progress. The game's core mechanics are similar to other third-person-shooters, in which player character can carry three weapons, and explosives like sticky bombs and smart mines to fight against enemies.[3] Players may take cover behind objects during firefights to avoid taking damage from enemies, and to give them a tactical advantage when attacking. As the game is set in a third-person perspective, the character model is visible.[4]

They made a four episode live action series to promote it.
Code "AGENTORIGINS" gives you some free DLC, inspired by the videos. The Division Agent Origins | Ubisoft (US)

was there a big drop in rainbow six community after a month/when this beta went live?

i wont be getting this game because they've watered it down A LOT since announcement...probably biggest bait and switch in the industry yet unless they will put out a high-res pack...not gonna hold my breath on that one.

- serious graphic downgrade...typical ubisoft
- no more 2nd screen tablet mode
- game world got reduced significantly

was so hyped for this game like 3 years ago when they first showed it lol...? probably gonna wait a few weeks for reviews and stuff to see if it's worth picking up. if it's similar to destiny, it's gonna be a meh for me cause I got bored of that game 3 weeks in.

This isn't a FPS though, its third person :P *nitpick*!!

I preordered for PS4!

The graphical downgrade is OK in my opinion. You can youtube the graphical comparisons.

Although there are quite a few downgrades, I feel like the average viewer wouldn't notice it. (I sure didn't notice until it was pointed out. But of course, once it's pointed out, you won't stop noticing it haha).

From recent reviews of alphas and other gameplays, the game still sounds good to me!

Tom Clancy's The Division - (PC) CD Key, uPlay Key - cdkeys.com


this site is better since it also has Canadian prices and usually is cheaper then greenmangaming on certain games.

if you like them on facebook you can get a 5% off code your first purchase

Is this site those grey market sites that sell CD keys like kinguin or g2a?
I've never used those sites before, so I'm not sure how well they protect their customers from fake/revoked CD-keys.

I'm gonna wait for the reviews to come out, but so far game review sites are saying good things (probably paid advertisement?).

If I join, I'll be sure to PM you to group up

Rainbow 6 Siege was great. Looking forward to this one as well.

I though U Play would be crap but it's actually not too shabby.
It smooth and loads up pretty fast.
Infact, I like it better than Origin. I'm remember playing battlefield 3/4, you have to load up a webpage.

I played in the alpha, and I loved the game. Something about the environment that gives off this I am Legend/Walking Dead feel (minus the reanimated)

Hit me up in the beta this weekend if you're on XB1! Gamertag: FRESHvibe
