Day 1 thoughts: Game runs great. No issues in that department.
Gameplay still feels like a mix of Halo and DOOM. Not quite Quake 3/Unreal arena shooter, and has a modern feel. But not quite Halo because of the hitpoints, item pick-ups, and the overall speed of the game, its MUCH faster than Halo. Still hoping that the modding community makes some classic arena style game modes for variety.
The new guns are cool, even though I suck with them. I suck at the game overall honestly.
The Doomguy armor is still "meh"/Halo inspired to me. The option to customize color and armor is very Halo, and I don't mind it, but I would love to see the classic armor appear as an unlockable.
I can see some balancing issues if rocket launchers are abused
I can see the Warpath mode needing some balancing. Really hard to come back from long periods of lost area control.
Would like to see more audio/visual options - but maybe they just aren't as detailed in the beta, and will be available for the actual game.
How are you wirh aerial goals? I feel like you're probably pretty good at flying at least. I had just started trying to work on getting better at using boost in the air when I stopped.
I only have like 13 aerial goals out of my 1700 haha.
Yeah I'm okay at flying but it's not really a huge part of my offense. I'm big on setting myself up off the left and right wall corners, then knocking it in as it drops in front of the goal.
Death is not the worst of evils.
You can't be down, when you're always high.
Incursions were hard, they made them harder, "Don't expect to beat it on the first or second time."
Best Gear and Weapons in the Incursions.
Concept art shows a really cool underground, huge area for "Falcon Lost," LMB is confirmed as main enemies and have access to vehicles.
4 different gear sets, powerful talents are granted when you have all the gear in a set equipped, will "change the way we play," Sets are a green color, diffrent green from Uncommom.
Gear Sets are a reward for Incursions, how common or rare all depends. One gear set is specific to the Dark Zone experience (called "Path of the Nomad").
"Strikers Battle Gear" Combat assault, for grunts.
"Technicians Authority" For Electronics lovers.
"There are blueprints for Gear sets"
Looks like a gear set for each play style.
"When you hit level 30, item level will be removed and "Gear Score" will be added."
Gear Sets require a trade off, probably sacrificing stats for the powerful bonuses.
Instead of player levels in the future, we will see there gear score.
Confirmed that we will be able to view players gear.
"Trading" If a group is playing and they all get a good drop, they can trade stuff they don't want.
In Dark Zone must trade at checkpoints, protect players from stealing.
The "500 Slot" Backpack was just a dev build, Massive pls nerf Dev.
Trading works by dropping it on the ground, that means that a random person in a group can steal your gear. Be carful.
"Assignments" Weekly and Daily objectives, already on your map, you will get Phoenix credits, division tech (No Word on HE). Some is Combat Themed, Dark Zone Themed. "Kill X number of Rikers."
"Supply Drops" Dark Zone item, "really good loot in them," available to whole group. You don't need to extract these items. Happens once every hour, guarded by "Tough Enemies."
"Spectator Camera" You can view other players after you die, FINALLY. Switch Between them, move around the camera, sounds like the way they have it in GTA: Online when you die.
Now showing a "hilarious" community video. Its not.
Most predictable way to get Gear Sets is Incursions, however you can get them anywhere.
Incursion Specific:
LMB have taken over a water plant, FL is underground.
Story wise you NEED to retake the water plant
4 Man Squad only, you don't see player levels, just gear score. Looks better honestly.
Story Wise (Spoiler Warnings) Bliss is dead (shocking) new person has taken over, big explosions happen.
Some objectives in the incursion include a "Eliminate X number of waves" and "Destroy APC"
2 Difficulties, Hard Mode is the easiest, at least Level 31 gear to be effective. Then Challenge Mode, you need the new gear to be effective. Overall, needs a higher level of focus.
Challenge mode is "brutal," the best developers and the best gear took them a couple days to beat it on challenge mode.
Its very fun, if you love a challenge, get ready for tactical gameplay.
There will be more Incursions after this "Many More"
Story wise, there are big events happening in the world.
Need a good group, need good synergy, might be hard with randoms.
Will probably start to use more consumables.
APC does huge damage, but you can get away from fire.
There are flying "Drones" that need to be dealt with differently versus humans. Complete 180 in terms of facing them.
Matchmaking, required gear score though.
If you fail, you start from the beginning. No word on if this also meens if you wipe, this counts as a fail.
If you beat it, you may get a "good gun" and may get a gear set item.
NO WEEKLY TIMER, however for the first time you do it for that week, you get a better reward.
Can damage APC with bullets, not too effective. Best way to kill it with a new mechanic.
"Group coordination is key."
Completely new location.
Future Incursions will have new mechanics, they have played them.
Challenge mode is the sure fire way to get Gear Sets.
You can get the weekly reward with multiple characters.
need to get home so i can play some rocket league :!!
might start another division character as well. Probably gonna let my worthless guy on couch buddy game share since its the only way i will be able to get him to play rocket league with me. That way i can have a second character to run through the incursions with.

Nobody has time for one game. That's like having one oreo.
All I did was make myself bad at regular play lol shit was impossible to hit.

At this point it's to late for me.
