The Division: 7 Things to Look for in the Beta

Midtown Manhattan

Recreations and re-imaginations of cities are nothing new in video games. Whether it is Chicago, Boston, or Washington DC, players love to see major cities and true-to-life landmarks in their games. The Division is attempting to recreate Midtown Manhattan on a one-to-one scale, complete with landmarks such as Madison Square Garden, The Empire State Building, and Times Square.

Now, players will finally get a taste of what the final product will look like. There is no doubt there will be sections of the city which will be inaccessible in the beta, but what players are allowed to explore will be a good indicator of the level of detail Midtown Manhattan will offer.
