    9 из 10. Один из основных плюсов Division 2 это то, что не смотря на то что это RPG, связанная со сбором экипировки, здесь не обязательно гриндить.

Один из основных плюсов Division 2 это то, что не смотря на то что это RPG, связанная со сбором экипировки, здесь не обязательно гриндить. Не обязательно, потому, что вещи которые вы можете выбить при прохождении без цели, не уступают вещам, которые нужно выбивать часами. Да и те можно выбить из контейнеров (НЕ ЛУТ-БОКС), которые можно получать везде и регулярно (в разумных пределах). Сама система вещей и их характеристик, которые влияют на геймплей, развита нелинейно и одновременно понятно, что в игре этого жанра очень важно. Также несмотря на жалобы, что в игре нечем заняться, в Divison 2 есть много разных локаций и миссий, экспедиций и побочных заданий, которые рассказывают свои сюжеты, связанные с общим, просто их не все могут или хотят искать. Также радует наличие разнообразных модификаторов сложности, которые открываются после прохождения основного сюжета. Поэтому локации, которые раньше можно было проходить одной рукой, параллельно читаю книжку, то после некоторых модификаций, даже команде слаженных агентов с хорошими вещами придётся попотеть.
    Подводя итог: TOM CLANCY'S THE DIVISION 2 - игра про экипировку : Основной вашей целью после прохождения основного и дополнительного сюжета, будет сбор экипировки. Но сам сбор интересный и если вам не надо бешено дёргать мышкой во все стороны и проявлять постоянную активность во всех областях тела, как в какой-нибудь CS:GO, то вам должно понравиться. Сразу хочу предупредить, что Division 2 стоит (я бы даже сказал нужно) покупать с дополнением, без него вы не сможете полностью окунуться в игру после сюжета (игра с дополнением часто продаётся по скидкам, поэтому можно урвать их за 700 - 1250 вечно деревянных, в зависимости от скидки). Также стоит отметить, что в одиночку игра может наскучить, поэтому советую проходить с друзьями, так будет всегда интересно!    … Expand

    When I talk about cooperative games The Division 2 is without a doubt one of the best games to play with friends, best of all are the dozens of missions and events ect that game has one of the games that I have the most hours of playing, without PVP because I only play rooms private with friends all sorts of games for obvious reasons,,but just the great game is one of my favorites too

    INSANELY UNDERRATED!!!

    I gotta say I’ve been shocked at how hooked this game has me. If you like looter shooters like Borderlands this is your **** It’s like the game Destiny wanted to be I feel. The gear is actually good and the cover-switching just WORKS. Pro tip: customize your HUD and turn your compass wayyyyy down. Minimize almost everything and just go!

What Division 2 gets right is everything that made Division 1 good after their much-praised 1.8 update. But then you add in a more streamlined experience in the stat building and skill system and you can easily adjust to a big game and its nuances in ways that the previous Division game simply failed at. But the game's biggest asset is one that the press has completely left untouched: endgame. There is a SIGNIFICANT endgame experience here that really opens up the game in a similar way Destiny 2's Dreaming City did for the Forsaken expansion. You have this base game that you play through to get adjusted to the game and its system and its story but it becomes something more shortly after finishing the core game. I think The Division overall has a very good thing going for it BUT I think the game is also very limited in its vision and direction. There are no vehicles to play with, there is no open world aspect (just shared world), and the crafting system isn't all that deep which makes it hard to create an "agent" that's truly unique. Sure, the skill system attempts to address that but it really doesn't do a great job at solving that desire that I'd wager most gamers have when playing these kinds of games. I wish there was a skill tree that people could go down that made them better at certain things and less better at others so that a more varied and situational experience would unfold.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After really losing the will to live with Destiny and struggling to find a game which wasn't Battle Royale based The Division 2 has been a game well worth our collective times.
    We picked up the Division for a fiver at the beginning of the year, and loved that game. I guess getting something way after patches are put in place gave us the better experience. This meant the Division 2 was a launch day purchase.
    Getting to level 30 was an enjoyable experience, then the game flips the crap out of everything and you realise that trip to level 30 was just effectively a glorified training programme, the real fun doesn't begin until you flip, then your specialisations and total level really kicks in, its like having 2 games. The feeling of success when you complete level 30 faced with the fact you have to do it again but this time missions are more involved, with a team of 4 just plain crazy at times.
    for those shouting its too repetitive etc - I'm not sure I could ever get bored with constant gun battles, strafing runs and all sorts of carnage around you. Do I care the story line is a bit weaker than, the first one? NO NO NO - more guns, more bangs and certainly more fun. Loved that this game wasn't given the usual pre release Hype - makes it even more of a special thing.

    Let's get the elephant out of the room. The Division 2 plays better than Destiny 2. While Destiny has extreme jumping, The Division has extreme tactics. You can win many fights with good positions and smart use of special abilities. My favorite special is a turret that acts a second player when I am running through missions solo. Pop that turret on a tall structure before a fight and watch it take out low level enemies and do some considerable damage to high level enemies. A team can wipe out an army with good planning and positioning.

    The Division 2 also has better a.i. than Destiny. The a.i. is still not very smart, and enemies will always choose to run suicide missions in small groups as part of the game play. Compared to Destiny, though, you never see the a.i. running backwards up stairs or refusing to engage beyond a predetermined zone. Bosses in the Division have way too much health, but none are given a one-shot attack or an area of effect boss stomp.

    Matchmaking in The Division 2 works great even a year after release. The middle-game missions can be difficult to find players. People buy into the game for $3 like I did and then stop after a few hours. Anyone who keeps playing will focus on the end-game. Reaching the endgame opens up players to the ultimate joys of matchmaking and playing with a group at a moments notice for any activity. This was great for me because I bought into The Division 2 so late that none of my friends are playing it anymore. (The upside to paying full price at launch is enjoying all the millions of people who are playing at the same time and same level as you.)

    Visually, the game is appealing. UI elements are plenty but well placed to not take up too much of the screen. The setting is an excellent 1:1 recreation of the Washington D.C. area. If you have been there, it will feel familiar. My one complaint is the amount of trash, totes, fences, and other junk littering the area. Surely there would be garbage in the streets during an Apocalypse, but the people of D.C. would have to truck in garbage from out of town to junk up a city so much. The game also has no driving sections despite the streets littered with abandoned cars. (Maybe driving will be in The Division 3.) Fighting in museums and historical landmarks is at times clever, and I appreciate the thought that went into the design of this game. I would love a tourist mode like Ubisoft had in Assassin's Creed: Origin.

    Now the bad. I don't like all this leveling. In the early game, you have to level-up to take on new missions. I was utterly bored early on with little in the way of guns and abilities and playing a generic third person cover shooter. As new abilities and weapons open up, the tactical game takes form. In the mid game, the joy of playing to outweighs the drudgery of inventory management. The end-game has more leveling up, and numbers go as high 600 for "gear score". This is the same idea as light level in Destiny, and as with Destiny, the numbers are meaningless as enemies scale with the player. This is where the drudgery of inventory management starts to outweigh the joy of playing. The game becomes a hamster wheel of finding higher level gear, dismantling old gear, and repeat.

    The missions have a few set pieces that bridge the divide between a quality of Call of Duty campaign and a generic defend the hacking process from Destiny. The missions eventually become generic kill lower level enemies before killing a boss. By end game, The Division 2 has run out of new areas to fight it, and you fight new enemies in old areas. The lack of vehicles is a hindrance, and you never have the diversity of gunning from an APC or dropping from a helicopter. These limitations are endemic to this genre of games and why a Division or a Destiny will never be as good as a Halo or a Call of Duty.

    Some caveats. As mentioned, I bought this game for $3. A lot of people bought it for $3 from PSN or perhaps less as a used title from Gamestop. Before I bought this, the only Division in my life was the beta for The Division 1. I hated the bullet sponge enemies. This is a Tom Clancy game and Tom Clancy means realism. I 100% believe that The Division would be better as true tactical shooter, but after 5 and 1/2 years of shenanigans in Destiny, I am more forgiving of shenanigans in The Division. That being said, I will only go so far playing The Division 2, as the hamster wheel is only so fun for so long.    … Expand

Really looking forward to putting some more time into this, and to see how Ubisoft keeps up with this game.

With using a turret and drone support while trying to keeping my distance from the enemy. The again up close and personal the shotgun can be a lot of fun.

    I was soloing this until I get bored or it beat me. I am not really into the co-op or PvP side of live service games. Got it super cheap and the perfect type of long form game to kill the time in Lockdown Pandemic. Ironic that this game is about a virus gone amok hey?

    Story, characters and dialogue I don't give a crap about. The NPCs' are not believable or realistic characters anyway. The spawns are kind of cheap in some places. Trash mobs suddenly burst out of doors that the player has no access to. These cheap spawns have put me in some really bad positioning, oh well.

    Hitting level 30 I opted out after the fireworks display cut scene. I just couldn't go through another level of grind like that any time so. Maybe I will come back to it someday, but not anytime soon I thought. Then a couple of weeks later I was back in for the ride again ha ha.

    I ve played The Division 1 but never reached late game back then. Still the game impressions took me at surprise and so I wanted to be dedicated to Division 2 from Day 1 on. After a good 20-30 hours of gameplay I do not regret my decision. The game looks nice, playing on PS4 Pro I never had any crashes or slow downs after the early patches. Graphics have some pop-in issues that could be resolved but overall it looks decent. The cosmetics are awesome and seeing the loot develop my characters appearal is great!

    The atmosphere is done right. It feels a bit like Walking Dead even, might be a strange comparison to some but it was the first thing that came to my mind. The city looks nice, there are lots of jobs to do and many settlements to develop. Loot is everywhere and the progress of loot is according to the players level, leaving not much to complain for. The sound is decent. Weapon sounds are gorgeous. I like the OST but it could be a bit more intense sometimes. It still suits the atmosphere very well.

    I m around level 18. Perk and skill unlocks are well progressed. I was able to do every job, quest, bounty solo so far. Some assaults are hard and a bit grindy but it works out if you do it tactical. Some bugs have to be resolved around popping in enemies around the player. But I did not encounter many bugs at all so far. Ubisoft did a good job at early patching.

    Coop with friends is done easy and works well. Fast travel and some quality-of-life implementations help to enjoy The Division 2 quite a lot. The game gets grindy at times but I guess thats what you buy with a loot shooter. Still hopping between the different mission types helps to soothen the problem and always brings cool new story locations up which are really fun and I have to give Ubisoft a thumbs up for those. The loading times are okay so far. I think they tried their best on the graphics. The PS4 pro sounds at least as it is at its peak trying to dish out the graphics.

    For people who enjoy looting and a bit of grinding combined on a solid solo or coop shooter, they will not be disappointed with The Division 2 I think. For sceptics I would wait a bit for a drop of 20-30% in price. At least the 69.99 price tag on the PSN seems to much. 40-50 is deserving for this blockbuster shooter. Enjoy your time, agents!

    What has to be -for me- done for a 10/10?:
    - Stop overpricing. 69.99 is already high, the gold and ultimate editions are ripoffs imho
    - Push the graphics a bit in terms of sharper textures
    - Reduce the loading times a tiny bit
    - Some minor AI glitches should be improved
    - I feel the story is nice but it fades away in between the grinding which is a bit sad
    - Some missions should be a bit rebalanced, e.g. Supply Drops, which are really hard for solos    … Expand

    In my opinion one of the best third person shooters to date. I really liked the Division and Ubisoft has done a great job adding and making improvements to this game. The DC setting is done really well, gun play is smooth, and the control point battles are really fun. This game really shines in co-op.

    In my time playing the Division 2 the vast open world has seamlessly drawn me in to experience Washington DC after the catastrophic events of the green poison outbreak, that brought America to its knees. In my time with the game I feel more like a tourist than a highly skilled agent, as exploring the world revealed stories of survival and sacrifice.
    From the start the Division 2 offers a fairly in depth character customization as compared to the previous title. Though the intro is pretty bland it does do a good job of providing a basic tutorial for the combat system, and it justifies why your agent is leaving to go to DC.
    When it comes down to it the Division 2 is a looter shooter and with every looter shooter it requires two things, good combat and spectacular loot and this game provides it. The moment to moment action is so alive and unique almost every encounter is never the same. Each faction is so unique in how they fight how they look and how they react to the open world and the players decisions in combat. There are four factions in the game, the Hyenas which are your run of the mill gang bangers that steal from anyone they can kill, the True Sons which are a militarized capitalist faction that are taking Washington by force, than there are the Outcast a a group of people that were left for dead on Roosevelt island and are out for blood against anyone who put them there, but once you have taken back Washington and reached level 30 a new faction arises in the form of the Black Tusk a completely private military with the most advanced tech on the battlefield. With all these different factions they are wonderful at making the player feel vulnerable by restricting movement with foam and fire while constantly rushing the player with shotguns or suicide bombers. Now when the shooting stops it's time to loot, and this is where the drive of players will determine their experience as everyone has access to the content available in the game, but the loot that drops is individual to each player. With the looting system really defining how your character progresses, the Division 2’s pacing is one of the best in recent years for the genre as I never once felt under leveled or even overpowered during my time with the game. I was constantly forced into making more tactical decisions about who to shoot first and where I should be. The loot you receive isn't how it was in the first division as you can recieve “Superior” or “High-end” items before level 30, and I can honestly say it makes the first 30 levels way more enjoyable.
    So once you pass level 30 you make your way into endgame and this is where the fun begins because you gain access to the games three specializations.The three specializations are the Demolitionist which has a M32A1 Multi-shot Grenade Launcher; Survivalist which has access to an Explosive tipped Crossbow; and the Sharpshooter which has access to a TAC-50 C Rifle. Now with these specializations they aren't meant to change how you play but compliment how you play by giving you access to perks that affect how you perform in combat.
    In conclusion I have played for roughly 40 hours and I firmly believe that Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is one to pick up as it comes with enough content to last until the release of Tidal Basin and I can honestly say I can't wait. The Division 2 has all the answers to how looter shooters should be and not the poor excuse that Anthem was, and as a player of Anthem, Destiny, and the first Division I could not recommend this game enough as it comes with enough content to put all those game to rest on day one, so I wouldn't mind spending my money and time to further this experience.    … Expand

    The Loot: This game rewards exploration and gunning down enemies with loot, lots of loot. As looter shooters go, this one does what it is meant do with plenty of loot to upgrade and guns dropping off enemies regularly. Why other games that are more frugal with their loot don't take a leaf out of this game. Players want to be rewarded with new, better, shinier items. So give it to us!

As looter shooters go, this one does what it is meant do with plenty of loot to upgrade and guns dropping off enemies regularly. Why other games that are more frugal with their loot don't take a leaf out of this game. Players want to be rewarded with new, better, shinier items. So give it to us! Loot is varied and has lots of different stats. So far, I'm very happy.

    Gameplay: I've enjoyed it for the most part. There are times where you get suddenly rushed from a new wave and find yourself in a position where you are just surrounded without being able to do anything. Also the cover mechanic can cause problems at times. Playing alone is very difficult and finding a group through matchmaking can be tricky if you want to complete side missions and events. When everything is working well, you have a good group and you are taking on the main missions or side missions together, it's really fun.

    Technical issues: I have had the game crash about 3-4 times in about ten hours (on PS4 pro) I have also experienced the odd frame rate drop, enemy gliding across the floor, etc... There was also a freeze when trying to examine clans and looking at friends' clans.

    Overall: This is obviously early impressions. I will need to play much more to give a comprehensive endgame review. The gun play is fun. There is enough variety and challenge from the AI to keep things varied. Like I say, some of the ways enemies just appear all around you can make things messy and that doesn't lend itself to the cover based shooter it is trying to be. With a group its really fun. Solo, it can get very frustrating because as you level up things get too hard on your own. There are going to be obvious comparisons with Anthem. I personally prefer this as someone who is keen on creating builds and love looters. This to me is more of a looter. you can see your gear as soon as you pick it up and it drops frequently better stuff. I'd give it an 8 now but potential to get a 9 if the endgame is there.    … Expand

    Tom Clancy's The Division 2 has thrown its hat into the ring for being a possible 'Game of the Year' contender for 2019. The post-apocalyptic Washington D.C. is such an eerie site to see, and Agents can roam around solo or in groups to complete missions and earn better loot to upgrade their characters. With more content well on the way, the base game is still packed with heaps of stuff to do - and the huge variety in gear types and stat boosts, modifications, and skills means that 1000+ hours can easily be put into this title over the course of the year. The only bane to these sorts of titles is the 'always-online' internet connection that is required, which does remove some parts of the gaming population from being able to play it, unfortunately.

    The Division 2 is easily the best of its type; it has the right balance of fun, challenge, dopamine loot drops, and sweet graphics that all but guarantee I’ll be playing this one for a long, long time to come. If you haven’t jumped in yet and think this might be for you, hesitate no longer - Ubisoft has absolutely nailed it the second time around.
