Well, they're definitely scrimping on the marketing. Just pushing LM2 out of the way so will be all Anthem by tomorrow morning I imagine.

That's annoying, it's $11.99 on PSN at the moment (and $4.99 for Survival). Have you tried the Ubisoft store?

Doubt it.

I noticed on psn there was deductions across the board on game and dlc/season passes. Could have been due to the beta for 2 running? Maybe something similar on xbox?

Jump right in i say, no need to have played Div 1 at all. Co-op is where it shines but you'll be able to get through on your own up to a point. I wouldn't say they are the same except for the viewpoint. Gears is an all out shooter where this is more of an RPG, online, looter shooter (ha, what a mouthful!) where cover really, really counts. No idea on campaign length but if like Div 1 you can dip in and out of the story missions whilst roaming it could be any amount of time you fancy. Hefty enough though I imagine.

Yeh, I found that gunplay comment surprising. If anything I thought it was chunkier in every way and you really, really have to use the cover system well. Really liked it.

The only other game I can think of that has made me feel so unsettled and fearful is initial forays in to Dark Souls. Heart in the mouth stuff and still not as much as Survival. It's a perfect combination of setting, atmosphere, sound/music/sfx and turning the game on it's head.

It really is utterly terrifying at times, absolutely love it. An overlooked masterpiece of dlc I honestly think. Surely they'll try something in 2 though, swampy hazy heat but agree it could be difficult to replicate the sheer terror of the blizzard.

Nice one. Did you get the last dlc (last stand) and so able to use it for commendations? I only got up to Survival but thinking I might invest if it makes things easier. edit: Apparently I have it with the season pass but don't think I ever downloaded it! Might have stopped playing after Survival originally I think. Can't seem to find how/where to on psn app/store but will find it.

Wrong thread! Nice work.

Went back to Div 1 to get my shields and do love it but roll on March 15th. I'm hoping the atmosphere issues are somewhat squashed when we see new areas. A lot of central DC is wide open avenues but Georgetown for example is much more cramped (think small, old English town) and I think will be much different and be really spooky, hopefully. I've got a vague memory of seeing a clip of them near the canal in lower Georgetown at one point. Anyway, I think once the whole city shows itself we'll be ok.

10th shield down, Chieftan. Need one more set of classified gear (4/6 on two of them) for one of the others and then the commendation grind to 3000 begins for the other (1970 currently).

I don't play Destiny anymore so it's D1 to me but I'll go with Div 1 instead.

Just did the end game mission and thoroughly enjoyed it with a few friends, really good stuff. Triple skill deployments in sequence, lots of flanking and general enjoyment. I absolutely cannot wait for the full game now. Now back to Div 1 for those final few shields before March 15th.

Played a few hours last night finally and... I BLOODY LOVE IT. Just feels like a fantastically suped up version of 1. Think it feels great but can totally understand the complaints of lack atmosphere somewhat but hopefully that will come. Definitely helps if you know both cities that's for sure. Really enjoyed the gunplay and the sound was great I thought, playing on ss headphones with a dac. Looking forward to playing more that's for sure.
