![]() There are guys who setup turrets or pilot deadly RC cars, and always watch for the glint of a sniper scope putting you in the crosshairs. These guys all have a wide and varying set of skills ranging from the brute who will charge your position to the sneaky ones who will flank your position or even circle entire buildings to come in from behind you. Most encounters have you at two or three to one odds from the beginning with a high chance of attracting nearby enemies that will eagerly join the fight. Whether playing alone or with a team, veterans of the franchise will notice and appreciate the greatly improved enemy AI that reacts better than most humans you might encounter in PVP matches. Matchmaking can begin as early as the Uplay menu where your friends and their status are listed, and you can click Join from there and the game will launch and take you into their instance. Fortunately, The Division 2 has been carefully crafted around the multiplayer experience with superior matchmaking, in-game communication, and a robust clan system for those wanting to assemble a likeminded pool of fellow agents to play with and accomplish clan-specific goals and objectives for bonus gear and XP. Truth be told, there just isn’t that much content targeted for the lone wolf operative with the exception of collecting SHD boxes and the occasional random activities noted by the numerous pop-up “?” scattered about the map. It’s difficult to even muscle your way through the game, as all of the non-mission content auto-scales the difficulty to your current level. Attempting any of the primary or side missions alone is usually a frustrating exercise in suicide even with the assistance of a drone, turret or nearby local allies. The overall difficulty of The Division 2 has been noticeably balanced to favor (and encourage) team play even if only a team of two. The Division 2 is perfectly suited to that experience, even more so than the original, which was admittedly fairly easy to complete the core story content by yourself. Personally, I am all about the multiplayer experience when it comes to gaming not with randos, but rather my own handpicked crew of trained lethal soldiers that know how to work together as a tactically proficient team. It has also provided Ubisoft the chance to patch and repair several issues with the core game and the Endgame content that were holding this thrilling sequel from near-perfection status. Hopefully, the tardiness of my review will be balanced with its thoroughness, as I have played and completed the story content, and dived deep into the Dark Zone and Endgame content. ![]() I can’t count the hours I spent playing the original Tom Clancy The Division game that released back in 2016, but Uplay isn’t shy about embarrassing me with a tally – 589 hours logged over 2+ years, and while this might sound like a lot, I’ve already logged over 120 hours playing The Division 2 over the past four weeks.
