Greetings Agents,
I was replaying the Russian Consulate Mission recently and I came to the realization that The Division declared war on Russia.
Now follow my thinking here:
1. A consulate/embassy is considered the ground of the country that it represents.
2. Invasion of a consulate/embassy is commonly considered a declaration of war.
3. If there was a funtioning goverment in the United States, they could possibly explain away the actions of a single person, but in the game the LMB had already invaded the consulate.
So any thoughts on this????
LMB doesn't represent the US government. They would be treated more as like a terrorist group. At best Russia, would take action to protect it's people, but until they got a handle on the situation......it would be what if type of thing.
Also we don't know what exactly went on in the rest of the world. This could be on a grandeur scale and other countries could be affected. How many people may have came and left NY during TD, before things went south.
This being 9/11. It is a reminder never to forget what evil some will bring to just hurt others.
It's safe to assume that the whole world has been messed up by the virus, so the chances of any sort of repercussions are minimal at best. But even then, even though the LMB are american they are a PMC outfit and not official US Army. That's a HUGE distinction. Worst case scenario Russia would demand they be extradited.Originally Posted by MstrTarvos Go to original post
All good points
I have often wondered if the rest of the world was effected. Now that we know the mission continues in Washington D.C., could we be seeing more versions of the game in other parts of the world? Since the government doesn't really exist anymore, they couldn't send us to other countries. But the Division hierarchy could certainly offer our services.
We've known the whole world was affected since before the game launched - they had a whole mini site going showing stories from various countries and how they coped (the Toronto situation was neat yay Canada).Originally Posted by MstrTarvos Go to original post
the mission doesn't really continue though. We're a different Agent in 2, and that's still bothering me greatly because of all the post-game Keener messages.
I agree. My hopes for PvE was to finally to get a chance at Keener, apparently he just walked all round NY while we had to fight our way.Originally Posted by Malacite Go to original post
