Did you play Division 1? Am more curious of how the game plays relative to Division 1. How is the gun-play, did you feel any kind of synergy between team mates. Did things seem balanced? Are the special weapons uber powerful and can you spec 1 character in to all 3 special weapons?
I doubt they told you anything about Dark Zone changes, raids, end-game content details, etc.
I asked a ton of questions but got a lot of ‘we can’t talk about that right now.’ So I didn’t get an answer to the first, but he did allude to the fact the end game would be different.
That was the first question he asked me ‘did you play the first one? How far did you go?’ When I said I played it all way through we had a brief bro-moment.
The demo was only about 10 minutes long, and I played with 2 strangers and the other dev . He was talking us through the area so it’s hard to say how well we would have worked together without him. But they seemed to know what they were doing.
The special weapons didn’t seem overpowered, and I only had 3 grenades for the launcher. When I found an ammo box I *think* I was able to refill completely but I was too focused on everything else. I’m pretty sure the special weapons are tied only to the class, and I don’t know if they upgrade at all.
We played an area with a downed airplane. Lots of enemies, but our characters were already at level 30 so we did well. A sub-boss came out and looked like a Big Daddy from Bioshock. Working together he wasn’t too hard to take down.
It all felt very natural and balanced, but again, it was only a 10 minute ‘tutored’ demo, so hopefully the rest of it pans out like the demo. I really like the more open DC setting though. Lots more freedom in moving around, and as my 3 teammates were attacking I was able to flank about 6 of the the enemies and tear them up.
Lots of people were filming so I’m assuming videos will be posted soon.
Being a fan of the first, I left confident about it. I shook the devs hand and said I really enjoyed the demo, and I got a big smile in return.
