What has been confirmed for operation 2 | Forums

[crowlecj]

Release Date: July 17th-19th(closest estimate based off spacing of releases, end of challenges and other factors.)

Theme: Unknown- My bet for the theme is The Division2 or R6, With the Div2 having a big showing at E3 I find a cross-over likely, possibly hinting at a new mission. I welcome any other speculation on other thoughts. Edit: I would not be surprised at a future soldier theme, just not sure as to which operation they will be dropped for.

PVP-
-Change to the Prestige Credit economy
-Support for custom Matches
-New PVP content: Most likely added maps, with snow maps being the most requested, very likely a new class as we still have 5/6 to be released along the next 3 updates. New classes every update seems possible. I find a new game mode unlikely since we just got one. I see an expansion upon those as much more likely.
-More Icons

PVE:
-unspecified “non-challenge PVE content” but I suspect another mission of sorts, this one taking into account some of the feedback.
-More Icons
-player requested features, most likely some in the form of customization(lvoac, shirts, ect)
-new gear/weapons: most requested has been LVOAC and Shotguns. I see it highly likely we see new facemasks/bandanas

Bug Fixes:
-Karambit knife fix

If you guys have heard or seen anything else confirmed please comment with a source and I'll add it to the original post so we can keep a comprehensive list as I'm sure I missed something.

I've heard they were going to add a dragon plane.

Kidding, kidding. Ubisoft, please don't add any dragons or planes shaped like dragons.

Release Date: This summer- very unspecific, but most likely early-mid July or before e3

E3 starts in 3 days, mid-July possible though.

I hope there is no cross over to other Ubisoft games, but I suspect a vain hope. I'd much rather it crossed over with the new Sicarios movie; makes more sense to the GR brand, the context and the marketing timing.

Prestige credits we already know about and searchable custom rooms are well overdue. Definitely expecting a snow map and there will be more icons for sure.

A revamp to Tier 1 is needed so that the game eliminates player support crutches instead of ramping up enemies. Definitely a mission rather than a challenge is my view

I suspect so.

And a dragon plane. We definitely need a dragon plane.

I also see a mid-july release as more likely. Keep in mind though the div is dropping an update during e3, and last time ubi gave us 1 day heads up before dropping the update and with all the post watchmen wrapup content, it looks like they are really solidifying the end of that operation and will have a new one soon, so im not counting it out yet. As far as theme, I agree they are going to use it as marketing, but for that reason see the DIV2 cross-over as the most likely. That along with a future soldier cross. The div along with splintercell both have games coming up in the next year( i strongly suspect that ironside was brought in to do voicing for the new "unspecified AAA" game that Ubi has teased in their shareholder report, it is legitimately not a logical business idea to have him come and do voicing for such a small project unless he was already committed to doing a lot of voicing for UBI. ) and it would be very surprising not to see a crossover at some point. Doesnt have to be this operation but definitely coming up. I see them using it as marketing their own content to promote their other games. I did also hear about some moderators being in favor of a Jurassic park themed cross, as the jungle seems perfect. I would also LOVE a re-vamp to tier mode with exactly what you are talking about(as many in the community have) but I am not sure we will see it this update, though it has been highly requested and won't count it out of the cards.

God I hope they don't do a cross over with Jurassic Park. But honestly, besides the fact that I don't want to fight dinosaurs, Predator only fit in, because a jungle is a jungle. But Jurassic Park takes place on remote islands off the coast of Costa Rica, several hundred miles from the land locked country of Bolivia.

Just checked the game last night. The current challenge will end in 3 days.

PS4 community challenge have given up. LOL

Hmmm then I would expect the new operation to drop after that for sure. thanks for the insight that definitely makes the next 3 days unlikely

[Megalodon26]

While I think that SO2 dropping this week, is unlikely, tomorrow would be the perfect opportunity to make a big announcement.

Not given up. Most quit due to "Sam Fischer" quest eff'ng up the game.

I wasn't sure/still am not sure as to their strategy as it relates to e3. Are they going to try to push content during the event or try to wait till the storm passes and launch in a month? Only time will tell, or a dev
