    Cover Based Shooter

    I get why people are making fun or even upset that this game isn't a cover based shooter. On behalf of all these smart guys , I would like to make suggestions to make The Division great again and cover based shooter . First make the AI kill you in one shot if you are out of cover ,next bring back the smart cover ,with the damage buff , this way The Division will be great and cover based shooter .


    Massive , don't listen to these guys ,they are completely ignorants . The game now is fast based which is fun , I don't want campy boring game .I hope you don't listen to them .

    New flash The Division was never "GREAT" and the only time it has ever been a cover based shooter was when you fight NPC's. It's still exactly the same garbage game from release.

    Tom Clancy's The Division is NOT a cover based shooter as Ubi, and Massive keep saying it is.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms WAS a cover based shooter.

    Thats the problem in a nutshell.

    The game doesnt know what it is, the devs dont know what it is and neither do we.

    Yup, sure does.

    Mr skillup in his latest video claims to have seen a leaked document from massive stating the game to be a CBS, so either hes lying or as i say, everyone is completely befuddled.

    It might now, however if you look at articles from early last year...

    http://segmentnext.com/2016/02/09/ub...erson-shooter/
    "Developer Ubisoft has explained why The Division is a third-person shooter, rather than first person. According to Ubi, third person view fits the cover-based gameplay perfectly.

    They say first person didn’t really made sense for The Division when you look at its open-world, exploration, and cover-based gameplay.

    "I think it fits the cover-based gameplay so well, and that’s really what we wanted to do. If you close your eyes and think “Okay, we have this incredibly detailed real-world city, it’s open-world, it’s a cover-based shooter, there’s exploration, there are gadgets.” Would first-person make sense? Not particularly. It’s better suited to a third-person experience.""

    https://gameguideworld.net/the-divis...eed-to-know/5/
    "10. Gameplay
    If you don’t know by now, The Division is a third-person cover-based shooter. There is no first person view, nor a crouch button.

    This might seem as an absurd design-choice, but when you get inside the game and see how the cover mechanic works, you’ll understand."

    Now why would so many outfits say it's a "cover based shooter" when it isn't one, if that wasn't how Ubisoft tried to sell the game?
