The Division 2 Review-in-Progress #1: Welcome to D.C. - MMORPG.com
The time has finally come and The Division 2 is upon us. It’s a big game, far expanded from the original, and we’re reporting from the front lines with the first entry in our review-in-progress format. Our early access started alongside everyone else this past Tuesday and we’ve spent the last three days digging in and seeing just what this sequel has to offer. Join us as we begin to review The Division 2.

Let's hope Anthem 2 will be much better. If EA won't shut down BioWare completely.
Also it's a bit too late for TD2 reviews - everyone interesting in it is already playing it, everyone else is waiting for / playing other games.
Thank you for your time!

crouch shoot crouch shoot you get the idea
That's true.. but at the same time, Division2 could learn a thing or two from "skills/abilities" from Anthem. What I tried in both betas of Div2 was clunky and it was more efficient (took less time) to just continue firing your guns than to try to setup the deployment of the gadgets (outside of the repair drone, which was very useful and easy to deploy).
Maybe it was just cause I was'nt used to the controls yet, but still, they all seemed pretty underwhelming to me (at least the gadgets unlocked in the betas).
Yeah, that's pretty much The Division, though. Same in both games.
However, until the potential is fully realized when it comes to Anthem, I'd say get the Division 2 if your interested in these types of games. Or play warframe over Anthem. Maybe like in a year from now Anthem will have a nice dose of really nice gameplay/ features, but alas that is not today.
The Warframe download doesn't work for you?

And yes, my download works fine. It worked just fine when I gave them my founder's money years ago, and it works just fine now that I've played the game for hundreds of hours.
I'm a fan of Excalibur, Limbo, Hydroid, Oberon, and Loki, by the way. What I am not a fan of, however, is the general arrogance of a community that thinks that their game is the only one that needs to exist in their genre.

Things do change substantially. I was a little confused when going through the world tiers, and how the black tusks and the invaded missions actually work. So far, it doesn't look like, after running through the invaded missions the first time, you can't rerun them in invaded mode. You can change the normal difficulties to normal, hard and challenge mode.
Hard mode is very tough on WT4, but challenge mode is near impossible without a group.
The world gets much more hostile. You won't be able to port around much, black tusks take to the streets, enemies ramp up their attacks on each other, and areas flip occupation very quickly. Trade routes will be blocked, and settlements will be attacked so that you can't travel to them until you clear the enemies. Large aerial drones can follow and attack you out of the blue, and simply moving from one area to another can become a huge undertaking. Control points can flip between the many factions and you can actually have a 3 way battle between the occupying faction, the attacking faction, and you.
It doesn't open up the amount of players you see in game, aside from, at least on PC, there are a lot more people in the safe houses, as it's pretty much where all players end up eventually. You get repeatable projects and stuff to complete.
The leveling journey was pretty good, but at end game, I group the majority of the time by simply queuing up for each mission, or answering backup calls. I had a good amount of fun getting there, but it's much more fun at max. Unfortunately world tier 5 hasn't released yet, nor the raid or the final stronghold, despite it being in the game, it isn't unlocked yet. Still having a great time, after I get to 450, it's time to explore the darkzones.
Leveling has been a blast.. with so many missions and situations to get involved in.
It feels good to know the endgame is full of things to do as well.
It's refreshing to play a game so polished at launch.
