The Division (which hits March 8 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC) is from Sweden-based developer Ubisoft Massive. The open-world shooter takes place in a wintry New York City during the middle of a catastrophic societal collapse. The city is reeling from an outbreak of a mysterious but fatal disease. As the body count rises and food and water become increasingly scarce, the remaining survivors grow uneasy and resort to violence. Some of them form merciless gangs to take advantage of the anarchy.
In this near-future wild west, you play as a member of the Division, a special task force that's activated only when the U.S. government can no longer protect its people. It's up to these men and women - armed with a variety of guns and explosives - to defend civilians and to bring back some semblance of order. You can either play by yourself (read more about the solo experience here) or cooperatively with up to three other players.

The Division's version of New York City is an eerie collection of abandoned streets and buildings. Peaceful survivors wander around as you run across the snow-covered pavement to your next mission.

But the biggest obstacle you have to overcome are the enemy factions, the gangs that formed after the collapse.

Both computer-controlled enemies and online players populate the Dark Zone, and it's up to you if you want to help or kill the other Division agents for their rare gear....

No NYC gangs ever try to make it to PA for new looting and raping opportunities.
Because unlike the folks in NYC, the folks in PA own guns - lots of them.
“Bitter Clingers” rock!
Not being disrespectful, but Tom died in October 2013. How is this latest thing “Tom Clancy?”
I thought it was cause driving through Jersey really sucked.
Perhaps this year, I'll complete my Atlas Shrugged mod.
I like the Korean games style. Women in Lingerie armor.
In other words, it's set in the present day.
Do you use the Steam controller that plays them on your TV?
That entity will never die in the gaming world. His estate, I’m sure, is fully vetted and compensated.
It’s on my wish list, too. I got an Alienware Area 51 for Christmas.
No, not yet. I have a decent gaming desktop at the moment.
I don't know any desktop chair that is as comfy as a couch/ottoman or lazyboy. So I think I will get one.
