Remember The Division 2? What was supposed to be 2019's biggest looter shooter basically dropped off a cliff over the summer months as the experience broke over and over again thanks to patches and updates. Now, it's back with its second piece of DLC and it has caught everyone here at Push Square Towers off guard. Did anyone even realise this was less than a week away?
Titled Pentagon: The Last Stand, it'll be available on PlayStation 4 in just six days on 15th October for Year 1 Pass holders, while everyone else will have to wait another week until 22nd October to play it for free. It brings with it two new main missions, classified assignments, and a new specialization named The Technician. All this content will drop in tandem with a major patch that is supposed to better build diversity, introduce targeted loot, increase the intensity of the Dark Zone, and improve Conflict rewards.
A new raid was also planned to launch as part of this second piece of DLC, but it has been delayed to "better meet the standards of its players.” Are you still playing The Division 2? Loot and shoot in the comments below.

I'll admit the reason I didn't notice is that I don't play with guns.
How can you not notice something that hasn't happened yet?! Hahaha😁
I love this game. I’ve been distracted by BL3 and Breakpoint but this will get me back in
I was big into this when it dropped but like most I fell off after getting the Platinum. Dropped back in with the last update but only for a day or 2. Will download again and check this out though.
I will 100% check it out. That said my days of pouring hour after hour into it are probably over.
there is just to much games coming to spend all my time on these live service games that want you to spend your whole life in them. i played the beta, and that was more than enough for me.
The Division 2 was good but overall I enjoyed the first one more.
I really enjoyed the 1st but as has been said on here before 'games as a service' loses me if they're going to release a new game every year or so. Expansions, not an entirely new game, is what's needed. I poured hundreds of hours into the 1st. There's too many decent games out to do the same, all over again, knowing it won't last long
I like D2 better than the first. It’s improved all the bad from D1, though their optimization of creating builds is still very limited and left to the RNG goddess too much. And this last patch changed the stats and ruined builds worked on for months. I don’t understand the sweeping changes that nullify all your old work. Really, who wants to reprint your entire build again with the tools they provide? I’m a little tired of how this has happened. I do love this game but the wind is out of my sails currently.
I loved a lot the first Division. I made friends in the game that i still play with, today. After playing for a long time (way more than 500hours), I started playing other games but these guys kept playing The Division every day. Some won every patch that was possible.. Imagine our excitment with The Division 2..
So, is the game good? Well, yes, but:
The texture loading pop ups are amazing (this is not a good "amazing").
So much that in the forums, the moderators have accepted a switch from a normal disc to an ssd as a solution.. Although it is better, it still is incredible that a AAA game does this.
Also, the constat updateds and changes to gear and guns just makes people that really invested long hours to the game to suddenly lose a really good build they work so hard to build. And the biggest update to armor and guns (again) is coming with this update.
The season pass value isn't worth it (7 days early access and 2 extra really (really!) small missions and 2 more (still really really small) for each episode with a unique trinket to each mission).
There's also the first PTS controversy that enraged so many console players with season pass that lots of them just quit the game (I must say that I was tempted to do the same at the time).
And to finish, the dark zone isn't fun anymore. Especially with the normalized stats..
But not everything is bad. The game, with other players, is still a lot fun in PVE. More missions than the first one. And when the textures are all there and fully loaded (lol!) the game looks amazing.
There's also the Raid (8 players team) that, for most of the people was really a good thing.
And for me, one of the biggest things that made me not to just quit playing the division: the easy way that you can interact with the guys that really develope the game is amazing. They do listen to the community (some times more than they should, since somethings are getting way to easy) and they did improve a lot from technical to content. I still think that the game came out unfinished and paying so much money to buy a game with so many bugs was really frustrating..
So, with all said, I'll be trying this update as soon as it comes out. For how long? I don't know.. we'll see..
Edit: I started to give my opinion and ended with my own review of the game.. too long.. I know..
The last update that came out I played the 2 new missions and then put it back on the shelf. None of my friends play anymore either because it's got boring. Everyone has gone back to gta and destiny 2 and playing this game on your own gets boring so quickly once you've done everything several times
