    Please add "Realism mode" (explanation in post)

    I love the idea of being a special agent during a national crisis. I played a fair amount of The Division beta and full game once it was released. However, I became tired of the repeating and drawn out firefights. The trailers I've seen so far do not imply any changes to that aspect in The Division 2.

    In my view, in order to maintain interest in the game, there should be an optional game mode that makes the game more realistic.

    I'm mostly thinking about the following things that would take effect in "Realism mode":

    • Lower HP of enemies
    • All NPC:s subject to friendly fire, including civilians
    • Being able to arrest/taser bad guys who don't pose an immediate lethal threat (thieves etc.)
    • Being able to sneak, making detection less likely


    Please feel free to add suggestions to this list as well, or discuss the idea.

    I support this however, due to the RPG aspect, I would think it would have to be its own "bubble" mode a la Survival from TD1.

    You'll have to disable loot drops if you want this to work.

    Get rid of magic spells, and only equipment with a basis in modern reality and possibility.

    But, hey this isn't really a Tom Clancy game, think of it as World of Warcraft with guns, or for those old enough to remember Gamma World online.

    This is a RPG looter shooter.

    There are loads of shooter simulation games out there that are more realistic.
