Is there anyone covering The Division on mmorpg.com?
It's been awhile since there has been any news about this game, and the game is going beta this December and release on March 8 2016.
There's got to be some news to cover, right?

Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.
My Review Manifesto
Follow me on Twitter if you dare.
since this looks very good, but is produced by Ubisoft.
I'm guessing
- 4v4 mode pvp (and/or 4player co-op)
- Available for PS4 and Xbox One (not PC)
- Radio Towers
- Money Shop
- Instanced in smaller zones
We'll see how much of that comes true,
I'm not going to hold me breath on this one.
...nice graphics though.
It's confirmed on PC since the PC players had a huge petition after it was announced.

Your "educated" guesses are hit and miss.
PvP is done in Free For All "Dark Zones". You can go in solo or in a group and fight other players for some of the best gear in the game.
In the last video they put out a group defeated like 3 other groups, took the gear they had looted then as they were porting out one of them dropped group killed his former teammates then took all of the loot for himself.
Been announced for PC for a while now.
Don't know what you mean by radio towers.
No payment model had been officially announced but will likely have cash shop. What game doesn't these days?
The zones are pretty big and of course they are instanced, it's not an MMO. From the very beginning they said the PvE zones would just be you and your group.
There will be different weather and a day night cycle.
Also, during really bad weather like high winds or blizzards your aiming will be affected, the aggro range for mobs will be reduced and some wildlife and NPCs will go away during bad weather.
So, sounds good to me.

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."
John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."
FreddyNoNose: "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."
LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
I wouldn't be surprised if it's the latter. Division always struck me as a very cool idea that would be very hard to make into an actually enjoyable game. The complete lack of info and "reveals" makes me believe that they are hesitant to show too much, because they're not quite sure yet what it will finally look like...
Well it's a new engine, so my guess would be "yes" to technical issues. However, once you've announced a Beta date (upcoming) and release date (months away), the game is in testing, or at very least feature complete. If they've got major technical issues or knowledge gaps at this point then someone's getting fired. My guess is that they're avoiding the hype train.

The guy was really honest and straight forward and if i remember right sounded a bit down himself because the game was going to be lacking.It was going to be lacking maps,and multiplayer really wasn't multiplayer.
They had i think only 1-2 maps done and said not many more would be in release,so not sure what is taking them so long.Basically fight in Newyork but form a coop group of up to 4 players.Looks really nice ,looks like it will be fun,map is large.It will scale to your 1/2/3/4 group,not big on that because it encourages everyone to solo.I also would like a much better multiplayer as well as lose some of that typical fog and dithered graphics that open worlds often use.I believe you can have more than 1 group of 4 in the map but not sure on that.
IMO no matter what it lacks,i look at some cheap junk like Counterstrike go and there is no comparison,CS looks like a cheap mod while The Division looks like professional work.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
This is not accurate. The game is open world. Now, it does have some underground zones and inside areas, so I'm not sure how the transition is going to be. But, from everything I've heard and read, the transition between areas are seamless. You are disappointed based on false information. I disagree with the striked out comment above. I think scaling is a necessity here due to group difficulty. I believe the promise of better loot from missions that require multiple players will outweigh the desire for easy game play. There are a lot of raiders out there, and they are going to eat that stuff up.
