The First Day and Some First thoughts...
After some initial hiccups that related mostly to my hardware configuration, I have to say the Beta has been remarkably smooth for me. The visuals are impressive! I've experienced the usual server problems, but nothing I would call excessive. Getting used to the physics of the game after playing the original for 2300 hours caused my untimely death on more than a few occasions. The amount of content is pretty impressive in my book. The AI is definitely a bit smarter and more aggressive this time around and they spend more time in cover while moving up on you. Bullet sponginess seems to have been dealt with pretty effectively. All in all I think The Division 2 is going to turn out to be a pretty special game.
I view Beta builds as just that, a work in progress and I don't expect perfection. I'm fairly forgiving when it comes to visual and technical glitches in Betas and there are some of both at this stage. Some, if not all may well still exist on release but given the Devs willingness to work on those type of things, I think I'm going to get a lot of enjoyment out my visit to D.C.
