If this game isn't in your library yet then you're making a big mistake. This is an absolute MUST HAVE.
In addition to refreshing game mechanics, tactical play, amazing visuals, the community is majority amazing and helpful. Furthermore, the developers and CEO are remarkable at maintaining transparency and keeping the community informed. To top that off, they are actually listening to the community and even taking advice and suggestions for future additions, some being implemented within days!

What can I say about Tom Clancy's: The Division.

The game was incredibly fun during the closed and open beta. Despite their bugs, during the test phase, I found the game enjoyable, competative, even challenging at times. Having been restricted to such a miniscule portion of the map, the game did become remarkably easy, and so the final beta days were spent in the dark zone with an entourage of friends working in two seperate groups coordinating attacks on other players. The level of tactical ability that can be executed in this game is remarkably higher than people realize, they just don't bother to actually try. Facing overwhelming odds, myself and four friends were able to take on a server of people that all had the same gear, were the same level, all because we formulated a plan and maintained constant communication.

Now, I'm not going to disagree that the game could see some improvement. The launch was indeed a smidge rocky. One thing I will say, however, is don't let the massive amount of flamingly terrible reviews shatter any chance of creating your own perspective. Looking at the time of these posts, the amount of reviews posted were literally made during the five minutes of downtime the servers saw upon release. Thats right, it was down five minutes before Ubisoft realized the servers were not properly responding anf got them working for people to play. Now I understand there are many games out there that don't have this issue on their launches, some work right out of the gate. People complain that Ubisoft is typical for making a fail game launch. In retrospective, the game launch didn't fail. The game released on time, and for some, earlier than expected. For much of North America, especially the west coast, they got the game a full five hours early. Yea, five hours and yet people have the gall to complain about 5 minutes of minor delay. I will say I'm disappointed that I didn't get my rewards out the gate, but the developers were made aware of this and set out to fix it immediately. Heck, as I wrote this my friend messaged me stating that he received a message that all of his gear was sent and sorry for the inconvenience. The truth about the Division is that the developers behind this game ACTUALLY LISTENED to their player base. Closed beta - People were exploiting the boundaries as rouges, reaching the escalation of Man Hunt before running out of bounds and being teleported into the safety of the Safe house until their timer ran dry. The odd invisibility glitch where players were invisible and using this to kill all other players they came across. This 'Rogue-Ninja' as I called it was never present in the open beta, or at least I never came across it. There were cheaters right out the door, but was surprised to see them dealt with swiftly, and harshly, upon their discovery.

My point is, the game is not NEARLY as bad as the mass of absolute autistic rage thats spewed over in the last 17 hours. Thats 17 hours of gameplay... 17 hours, and suddenly the game is horrible without ever having actually reached the end, come across the multitude of other foes, playing in the higher level Dark Zone areas... Its literally based on the rocky launch, a five minute purgatory of anger simply because people are impatient.

Bet you the majority of people posting such negative reviews are still playing the division though.
