    I'm not too fussed about seeing other continents because I think the developers want to keep this in NYC, but I would love for them to expand further uptown in Manhattan. At least let us see the mass graves in Central Park.

    I was under the impression that Green Poison was only transmitted via touch. This in theory would mean that NYC is the only effected area and it would have been quarantined quickly.

    Several Cities had infected bills used on Black Friday, NYC have the largest of the affected cities is where The Division is centered.

    From a technical PoV, Ubisoft said that it would take far too long, if you had watched that art stream they did the artist who was doing the stream said that all the streets, cars, buildings and tons of other assets were hand painted to look like snow while every single street and alley way have puddles which are also hand painted.

    They already stated that they had to rebuild the entire map for the blizzard in Survival.

    If winter ended, the bodies would start to decompose. They'd bloat, and you'd end up with swollen ready-to-burst body bags everywhere. Brand new infections from the millions of pounds of rotting meat would make the place lethal; plus can you imagine the smell?

    Also, they'd have to modify the character models so they could wear short sleeves, and you know how Ubisoft is with character models -- it's just too hard!

    We're stuck in winter for the duration.

    And that could be a whole new thing to try to stop ,
    where you have to join the cleaners to stop the spread .... this year long winter BS is just idiotic ( it fits now seeing how it is winter) but they could with minimal effort ( i am not a programmer but i know when people are trying to ******** me into thinking something that is not true) stop believing there retoric and lies .

    The most ridiculous thing is that it hasn't been a year, not even close. It's barely after Christmas. We're not stuck in an endless winter, we're stuck in a Groundhog Day world where a) everything happens at 10x the speed it should, because b) time passes SO SLOW.

    The outbreak was launched on Black Friday, so...November 23rd if I recall, but close enough anyway. That was the day the first people were infected. Symptoms show up a week or so later, and then in a month it goes from New York City to Wintery Fury Road (including the building of all the CERA stuff, all the bagging of biohazards and entire buildings, and the entire construction and loss of the Dark Zone, the Cleaners, Rikers, etc). I'm not surprised at the fast disintegration of society, but I am a little surprised at the incredibly fast construction projects.

    Especially since there would be less and less people to be able to build as the infections spreads and keeps killing. It's a bit of plothole/inconsistency. To construct all that in such a short time would require massive amounts of resources and people, which would be occupied elsewhere at the time. And it's just little things, like cars still running with the lights on, etc. At the final stages of the plague, there should hardly be anyone left to tend to or remove the sick, so there should be a lot more corpses in the street etc.

    A few plot twists could fix all this though.

    I wish there was hail, that pelted you as you moved through the city. It would force you to move quicker, or stay near cover.
