    EDIT: +1 BRO I learned a lot more from the demo then what I knew. Especially with you zooming in really helped out. Keep up the good work.

    There was some dudes doing the same thing, and they did a crap review comparing to this, you did a excellent job, other thing i want to add to your review is that the event, can be something that can make other players including yourself to meet and clear an area or a side mission, that the event can cause what we called in MMO'S World Events. AN maybe many people know that the world even is when people in the game can go to and experience that even as a BIG groups, but in this case i bet it will be the players that are in the close area where the event is taking place at that particular time, maybe it can be a event that can last 1hr or only minutes, who knows right.

    And a online game that doesn't give you a full exploration, is not a online game at all, for my perspective(and experience playing mmo's and online games.). And about the infection and the stuff you said about maybe being possible that your character can be infected(that i wish it can be happening!) because that will give some extra immersion in the game, and also the question about if my character dies, if it dies it will be permanent?. And also that brings with the waters and food, because without food and water, we die, so yeah, i bet and hope also that this options can be possible in game, because we are talking about a game that fulfill the meaning of taking this game more than shooting to cover and looking realistic with nice graphics, totally immersion,that will be excited to experience possible death and awareness to take my playing ability's to the maximum. Also abut the weapons with the slots, that can be upgradable, like maybe that is when the vendors come in to play the part of that kind of strategic way of going in the vendors and upgrade them there, or something.

    It could be Police Station 01 because before the Police station there is a 01.

    Also, they could have called it that way just for demo purposes.

    As to the PvP, I think there are different factions, since there is a map with the PvP battles (the one you show in the end) and on the map one side of the players in every PvP battle is marked greyish and the other red. That suggest that those players might be on you side fighting against the other faction.

    Also, I read an article on the Ubi-blog that you can play the whole "story" of the division solo, so I think these "elites" are beatable solo, but it will probably require some great tactical skill to go in small groups or solo.

    Would also interest me what would have happened if the Ravens got attacked by the Calibres while still clearing the police station.

    What would also be interesting is if you can communicate with those (other) players in order to say "Hey, let's not fight but coordinate and make this thing here. After we are finished we go different ways. If we meet again, we are hostile again, unless there is some common goal".
    Something like this would be interesting. A way to reach common goals but to be hostile in other situations.

    Stealth? Amazing news.

    One thing also interesting that i missed is that, at the begging when the camera is panning down, you can see some individual looting a kitchen, that can also lead to the fact that buildings can be enter-able, and also when you see the camera is aiming at the bridge you can see the buildings on the street, and if you pay attention to the windows, you can look inside the windows there is some lighting and some doors inside like a door of a room inside the apartment, and the window at the top of the pharmacy when Bronson is going out of it, you can see that that place looks like can be searchable that can also lead to the fact that buildings are really enter-able.

    And the last thing so far, it wasn't much of calling attention, is another very awesome and well done animation is when Bronson is walking towards a taxi in the beginning of the video, you can see how he slightly close the door with his arm and shoulder, that is pretty sick also.

    Enjoyed your vid man. It got me thinking about that chopper though. The chopper in question could be on an extraction run for another group of players. If so, I wonder if they could be shot down. Kinda a **** move, but I can see some of these bastards trying. :P

    Great vid and analysis. I had come up with a lot consistency between the in game map and final zoomed out map, though I am not avid MMO or RPG player so I am not sure the whole event thing but I had come up with a fair understanding of how they all work out. but I did find this vid is most useful for those who may not know what is going on and how things work in the Division. The helicopter was a plausible idea for mode transportation. That the copter is piloted by a division pilot and has orders to transport teams from one Dark Zone to another or from one borough to another. And NY do have helipads through out so a make shift pad could be a rooftop or large enough open space.
