Tom Clancy’s The Division 2
Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment’sThe Division 2was officially unveil during Microsoft ’s press league at E3 2018 , and Screen Rant had the opportunity to go hand - on with the biz in short thereafter . The 15 - minute demonstration available at Microsoft ’s Xbox Showcase was playable on the Xbox One X , and it centered on capture a Control Point ( surrounding a downed plane ) with a 4 - histrion police squad . The objective was to free the local civilian population and " make the field a much safer stead , " according to the developer guiding Showcase attendees through the demonstration .
Every player started out with a different class - Demolition , Sharpshooter ( the developer also played as a Sharpshooter ) , and Survivalist ( all of which are pictured in the biz ’s key art above ) - each of which serve a different aim in the game . While players can equip a salmagundi of master and secondary weapons , their special weapon ( a third weapon ) is tailored specifically for their class . The special weapons require special ammunition , as is wonted in these types of games , and they be given to come in ready to hand whenever players call for to take down a boss , such as the one that protrude up towards the end of the demo . Unfortunately , it was n’t revealed what type of hirer that was .

In the demonstration , player spawn in a courtyard and are then take with pass through an desert edifice - either through the main entrance or a side ingress , though both paths eventually terminate up in the same place once inside - and exact out a group of received ( level 30 ) enemies on the interior . Afterward , player can resupply and head outside - via an release on the other close of the building - into what come along to be an overgrown lot with a crashed airplane in the eye , which appears to have been carrying supplies for local civilians . In purchase order to take the Control Point , role player simply have to take out all the enemies , forward motion , and then kill the boss . Since there are multiple wave of level 30 enemies , some of which are veterans and elites ( each with their own bent of tactical armor ) , players can call in reinforcements by using a flare gas . And when the tides turn against the foe , the civilian join in on the fight as well . But that does n’t mean player can allow their guard down ; it ’s still quite loose to die if everyone is not doing their part in securing the Control Point .
Gameplay sassy , The Division 2already feels like a step - up from the first game , which unfortunately fall by the wayside with world-wide players due to a lack of content from the commencement , not necessarily gameplay . However , enemies that were fundamentally bullet sponges were a significant issue at the start , and it looks like that has been addressed in the subsequence , at least based on the playable demonstration . Plus , Massive is promising that there will be enough substance this time around to keep players coming back for more - and the variety of Control Points in - game is part of that general experience .
As expected with any sequel , the graphics , sounds , and various other aspects of the secret plan have been upgrade , but there is n’t such an upgrade that will commove consumer enough who are looking to purchase the game based in the main on those factors alone . However , Massive Entertainment ’s upgraded Snowdrop locomotive engine does improve the environment , piss it experience more immersive in increase intensifying the sense of players being in a post - apocalyptic world . That can be anything ranging from loot box seat stuck on trees ( from tangled parachutes ) , which necessitate to be fool away down so as to obtain , to a rundown Capitol Hill endure tall in the far distance .

And since this is a first - someone hired gun , the weapons have also been upgraded along with the customization system made much more fluid and easier to pilot than it initially was in the first instalment . What ’s particularly good about the subsequence , though , is that the recoil organisation seems to employ more or less real - life practicality , thus piddle the weapons moderately more unmanageable to use . player have to take all sort of factors into account when using a sniper rifle , a sub - machine gun , or a fore and pointer , for illustration . While some enemy are still heater leech ( to an extent ) , they can still be taken down relatively quickly based on where player shoot them and how they interact with the environs ( such as players shooting a gas canister and making it explode ) .
Ubisoft and Massive are looking to get up teamwork inThe Division 2by making scheme an important factor . Players can still charge into conflict and merely hop between top , but that ’s not an in force strategy that will mold throughout the entire secret plan . stay alive and defeating undulation of foeman is much more hard in the sequel if player are n’t bring together and actively pass ( which is what happen in our second demonstration ) , particularly with various type of enemy on the battlefield ( include medics that continually heal veteran and elite ) . So , histrion will need to work together to take down medics , throwster , and various other types of foeman that each of their own strong suit and effect .
While the E3 demo was only 15 bit long , there were n’t any major glitches , aside from area issues with leap over certain boxes , but in general , it shows promise that the final product may not be bogged down by plot - breaking bugs . Of course , thing can change from now until release . In the end , the depicted object and gameplay may not be what players are wait . From the brief demonstration , The Division 2looks like an upgraded and control variation of the first game with a new stage setting , newfangled content , and extra mechanics , but it ’s not precisely a major startle ; it ’s notBattlefield 3,Halo 3,Grand Theft Auto V , etc . It ’s only been a few years since the first game unblock , after all .
