The Division's Open World Explained - Missions, Dark Zones, PvP and More

Tom Clancy's The Division is an open world third-person shooter with role-playing elements that is set in the United States in the wake of devastating pandemic that sweeps through the country bringing it to its knees.

The open world is vast, and is divided into a variety of unique zones. Each player, while existing in the same server will experience said world in their own personal instance, only ever encountering other players if they either invite them in, or enter a Dark Zone, The Division's PvP zones. From the second you begin the game you are free to explore the world as you see fit and the story is designed to unfold with you as you go.

so if we lost the internet connection , we can't play it ?

XboxOneX3398d ago

I hope that they do not make it online only.

BallsEye3398d ago (Edited 3398d ago )

guys, seriously...don't like it always online,d on't buy it. Eventually most games will go that way and you can't stop it. MS had to go few years back in evolution cause of people whining about always online. I got 100mbps optic fiber connection which cost me $16 (converted from my local currency) per month and also got completely free high speed wifi in the whole city. Hell, even small towns here in western Europe got super cheap 100mbps connections.

Balls eye, the problem is these infrastructures still aren't solid enough to support an always online world quite yet. the average speed in most of the world is still under 50mbps, then you have the problem of what is offered in your area. If only one company is in your city, then there isn't going to be a competitive price for you.

Evolution is over-time, it is not forced. 4k tv's are out but we still have tv service in 720p; you want to evolve an ecosystem faster release options, do not take them away. Can you imagine if 1080p Tv's were taken out of stores just because manufacturers wanted to sell 4k.

pumpactionpimp3398d ago

It's an mmo... So yes if you lose internet you can't play it.

SaveFerris3398d ago

Is this game like Destiny, except it has more of a story?

pompombrum3398d ago

^^^ With a bit of luck, it will be closer to the game we had all hoped Destiny would be. On the story front though I'd say they'd really have to drop the ball for the storytelling to be as bad as Destiny's.

Game_Face13398d ago

Ubisoft is a mess lately. This will probably disappoint like Watch Dogs. Only series I'm still holding out hope for is Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six.

Blackleg-sanji3398d ago

At this point its hard to get your hopes up for those either

elninels3397d ago

Why? The last iteration of both series were very fun in my opinion.

pompombrum3398d ago

I've certainly lowered my expectations but trying to keep the faith that we will get a game that will prove enjoyable at least even if it isn't going to be a GOTY contender.

Game_Face13398d ago

Definitely agree with both of you.

Its definitely hard to be hopeful for anything from Ubisoft but I can't help myself with those 2 games.

And of course, I hope it turns out good. A bad game is bad for us all. Only a stupid fanboy would hope for a game to fail just because said game isn't on the console of their choice for example.

Ubisoft usually comes up with great ideas but executes them poorly imo.

Blackleg-sanji3398d ago

Man your completely right about ubisoft their ideas be veey creative its just the execution that needs work hopefully the division delivers, i never played rainbow six this will be my 1st one so im not sure what to expect

elsuperamigo3398d ago

Ubisoft? More like ubi-disappointment

Dudebro903398d ago

That was probably the worst attempt I've ever seen foe a comment.

CorndogBurglar3398d ago

More like ubi-terrible comment

Antifan3398d ago

Eww, it's Ubisoft tho. Won't even buy a toothbrush from them

T2X3398d ago

What I'm taking away from all this to lower our expectations and then we may end up pleasantly surprised?

Stop Forcing Multiplayer Into Single Player Games

TIM WHITE WRITES: "Multiplayer or single player? Developers, you can do both, just not willy-nilly."

I am in absolute agreement with the OP 👌

shinoff2183395d ago

I hate when I see single player games and see people begging for multi-player. Jeez guys it don't need to be on every game. Latest one I seen was atomic heart.

-Foxtrot394d ago

Multiplayer or even co-op

If it was always a single player game then that's how it is

Inverno394d ago

It's a trend that never really went away. For me multiplayer in a primarily SP focused game was an excuse for DLC. Then there's the mentality gamers had that adding multiplayer makes a game worth the price, otherwise it should be half price for half a game. A way of thinking devs reassured when they started adding multiplayer to their sequels. We see the same with multiplayer focused games getting SP in their sequels.

Flawlessmic394d ago

Tbh multilayer now is a way to add live service and mtx elements, very rarely does it come of well.

What single players game used to be in a lot of cases now require 3 other people for keeping to really enjoy it and I hate having to rely on others to get the maximum from a game.

Sp should be sp, if devs want to add a separate multi mode then that's fine with me, the legends addition to ghost of tshushima was fricking sick but totally separate to the main game. Sick of co op too.

Hofstaderman394d ago

I remember when certain single player games had them as included optional modes that was played on the couch. Had brilliant times with Syphon Filter and Golden Eye. Me and my bro used to used to fight over who would play as Gabe even though it was technically just a skin. Good times.

Dagexon394d ago

I didn't notice your comment before I added mine.
But good times indeed
