    Indeed, that's why from this point forward I consider every day the Division 2 is up and running a bonus. Since if UbiSoft had its way, it would have been shovelled into the trash-heap of shutdown games, to make room for their new shiny toys of their Fortnite clone (aka Heartland) and their mobile cash grab offerings.

    I also see two playing styles in the game - seek and destroy never let the enemy get set hit them with everything you got skills grenades and so on - or the sit back and let them come to you.

    An example of this one is rogues if you sit back and let them come to you they get all set up and converge on the group and usually win but when their jumping around and never get a chance to set up they are much easier to take down.

    There are those day though when the game just seem to be out to get you - battling the big guy with the grenade launcher he's firing duds theirs three other players and his last shot is good and nails you or some NPC takes you down with his last shot and its a head shot when your armor is down when the other three players are clearly shooting at him you haven't even engaged him. Its like my guy is cursed those days and I just park him. They are very rare.

    I would have agreed that the game is on a death path a while ago when the instability issue on PC's was going -- for weeks, maybe months. With stability restored, and the announcements of new content, etc. I think it is fair to say the game is not dead and isn't a dead game walking.

    I personally would have preferred that they had stuck with the original plan and ended the game with TU12.
    And then gave us the next game as per usual time frame. But whatever, it is what it is now.

    The thing is, it looks like the "next game" was going to be Heartland all along. I wouldn't be surprised if Massive don't have anyone working on a "Division 3" at the moment, so "usual time frame" could be a few years away.

    After the issues they had with PS4/XBOne, I always figured they were waiting until they could release TD3 without supporting them.

    This has been further supported by their Avatar decision.

    I'm still working through my game backlog. Then I'm hoping we get new TD2 content for the holiday, followed by a spring Heartland release. Intrigued by Extraction as well..

    You Internet people and your hyperbole.

    1) the game is 2019, you expect a 2+ year old game to be peak? I consider it done and get what there is out of it before you decide there is no more

    2) we had more content in the DLC and I personally am enjoying the reruns as I wasn't around for the first play. They give me structure to keep playing what is ultimately the same everything

    3) Not sure what game you are playing but I still have 31 replay commendations to get, with each site being between another 2-8 more plays to get. That is a lot of 'content' left to do

    And I am sure a lot of people haven't bothered to work through the challenges for all the classes and commendations like I am, so will be long gone

    4) we need 3 now. Heartlands is very concerning, vapid F2P BR crap, BUT - how can they map the average D2 player across to that? Answer - you can't. Either Division is dead from Heartlands onwards or they will be making three because the core consumer doesn't want anything else.

    If Heartlands is all we can hope for they will lose their consumer base built over the past 5 years. Maybe it will replace it, but a F2P BR isn't going to have the loyalty of D3 retail. The nature of F2P BR playerbase is churn, unless they can get the yootoober influencers onboard and create another Fortnite - not happening anyway - the franchise needs a retail game to keep going.

    Actually, I think a good and reasonably large expansion, on the level of WoNY, would be absolutely fine, and hold the game for another year or two after its release, depending on how much work they want to do on more seasons or similar things. But yeah, from the sounds of Heartlands it definitely won't be Division 3, and it would certainly be nice to see something at some point to move on to from Division 2.

    For anyone who doesn't know what this is referencing, Avatar looks to be for current-gen consoles only due to the use of ray tracing. I would not be surprised if the next retail Division game follows the same path.
