Busy time of year dude and I am balls-deep in renovating a property. I've never saw the need for a project manager until now. frown

I'll be about for the launch but doubt I'll take the day off. May work from home around that time though. biggrin

Hope you're still enjoying your car (when you're here!).

Make sure you do 'work from home' we need a crew to smash the missions out. Yea the car is going well, filthy.. but well. Im thinking of getting it tuned to 390-400bhp, (currently 320 standard) but I've kind of been put on a ban from spending until after the wedding/honeymoon so....

Loopholes, dude. There's always a loophole. biggrin

I'll be about but I'm fairly certain that there will be a good few squads of the usuals about as well. I don't think anybody is going to struggle in that department. smile

Speaking of Mr Kane, he's just sent me a link to patch notes including details of the new missions for the open beta:-

Some really positive changes from the beta- more AI enemies in the DZ and clarifying the rogue system being 2 big issues. Fingers crossed they continue to listen to the players. smile

In case you haven't seen, the open beta is available to pre-load now on all platforms. If you weren't in the closed beta, be prepared for a large download, I think the PS4 one was around 28Gb

Should be a fun weekend!

Ohh yes!, I plan to download it when I get home, shouldn't take to long on Fibre, not compared to some peoples 56k dial up on here, As im driving back up the midlands I will only be able to get on Saturday daytime and Sunday at some point. Looking forward to it!!!

Nice, wired internet I presume? I've got 152 mbit/sec fibre but the PS4 uses wireless and it took about 1hr 15 mins for me overnight.

Perhaps see you around over the weekend if you are in need of a squad mate?

Just poking my head back in this thread.

What does everyone think about splitting it and having a PS thread and an Xbox thread? It would be nice to have a communal place to chat about the game, but the Destiny threads worked really well as a lot of posts were LFG types.

I think most games should probably stick with one thread, but for games like this, where there will probably be a LOT of LFG type posting then it's better to separate?

Of course the division has matchmaking built in so we may not need as many posts on here!

Perhaps see how well it's received (the beta) and see whether enough people will be playing it longer term to warrant separate threads? I haven't pre-ordered it, I'll see how I get on the beta

Destiny has matchmaking too of course, but there is no substitute to playing with the "regulars" smile

XBone beta goes live at 12pm today and PC / PS4 tomorrow at the same time in case anyone is wondering

From reading posts on Reddit, then Xbone players are saying its a lot better from the closed beta, a lot more fluid than before, more enemies in the dark zone, more weapons.

I'll be on Saturday night giving it a whirl, I know there are a few people from the GTA5 PH crew planning on giving it a try too so should be enough people milling about to form groups.
