    Specializations

    Ever since the E3 gameplay reveal, I've been wondering... will we see more specialization weapons in the future? Or will we have the three revealed only? Personally I would like to see more weapons, just to add more diversity to builds in the end-game.

    Pretty sure the devs have said that those were the only specializations they were showing right now, implying that there are more that will be revealed at a later date.

    IF and that is a big IF, you go by this game, there will be plenty of options but only one that everyone will use. Being the meta and all.

    The Goo-Goo Men are skills, right?

    If not, chances are we’ll be seeing that. You can also bet that we’ll be seeing Joe’s napalm tickler....... now that would be sweet!

    At present they are not very diverse. The Sniper is awesome and then you have two others that fire exploding projectiles, which leads to the inference that more are coming with other characteristics.

    Gimme the MMG specialization.
    Setting up arcs of cover fire and blowing though cover would be kool.
    Or some sort of tech specialization; master of tech skills.

    If specializations are supposed to reflect playstyle they need definitely need to add specializations. If it's about them forcing you into a play style they can leave it as the 3 shown. Personally, I think this was an un-needed addition to the game. There were already sniper rifles in the Division. They could have added the crossbow and grenade launcher as additional (Legendary Weapons).

    Yep. Allow bipod and/or tripod fire with an LMG doe MMG operation and bonuses. I'm sketching my range card!

    There'll be more at launch for sure with later additions down the road, I'll bet.

    I'll take that foam gun, for one. And there are plenty of other options for signatures. A flamethrower could make for a nice one.

    This has been asked by multiple people in interviews and they never give an answer, they don't even replay that they can't talk about it. Kinda like anti-cheat.

    I’m almost 100% sure it was specifically mentioned that the Goo-Goo men are utilizing a skill. Now if that is indeed the case then the next question would be whether that will be ported to Players as well.
