    Looking Amazing

    So I have to say Ubi/Massive - this game is looking fantastic so far. For me the change in scenery is looking like a game changer.

    One of my biggest irks with the first game was how unrealistically blinding the snow and lights are - I'm from Canada, I've walked through harsh blizzards and I always felt Division was just a tad too overboard... you made New York City look like Antarctica - that problem should be completely gone now. I like how the Spring comes with this air of new life and happiness, vibrant colours - and it's totally going to contradict the grit of the Division in the best of ways. I also like how this will play into character cosmetics, completely new appearance versus winter gear.

    It was cool to see the addition of the Drone, who was missing from Division 1 after apparently being cut.

    In the trailer I noticed the fact they were carrying 3 guns, so I'm guessing that means alongside the "Signature Weapons", we'll still have a regular gear/loadout system, which is awesome. Perhaps my biggest concern here is; will the game launch with Exotics/Sets/Classified sets? Don't repeat the first game with lack of loot chase.

    I also couldn't help but notice absolutely no LMB, Cleaners, etc. which is aweomse, completely new foes with completely new lore.

    I think Raids are a bit niche, but I'll reserve judgement until we play them. Without matchmaking I'm worried 90% of players simply won't get to them, much like Destiny how people have to use LFG to get into Raids... and alot of the time that busts because people don't want to or just don't properly communicate. I think it's a big change that in the end will only cater to a small population of players. I have 2 guys I run Division 1 with... no idea where we're going to pick up 5 more players....

    I also noticed the armor bars, which is pretty cool, considering before we took health damage right away but always regened. I do wonder how it will be repaired though, because from the footage it doesn't auto-regen.

    There were small details I picked up as well, saw a crate floating through the water at one point so there's actually water physics which are looking great. Glad to see water in general.

    Can't wait to get my hands on the game, so long away still, but my hype is there.

    Great Post and I agree 100%. Has it been confirmed that the raids will have no matchmaking? I have always found Divisions, matchmake for anything, superior to other titles efforts.
    Hope they can update that!

    Great showing at E3 guys!

    No, it hasn't been confirmed - I was just stating it as a potential worry, I don't think I've ever played a game that does have Raids and matchmaking for them :/ Almost always they are exclusive to people who assemble a team on their own. As long as there is an option or way for randoms to get together - preferably in game and not via an LFG app or something, I'll be happy.
