It's very noticeable, I ran up to a tree and it must have taken 3 seconds for the branches and leaves to change from a super low res texture into a high LOD model.
In one case I had an entire wall texture fail to load.

Not sure how I feel about the Chem launcher, at least not the flame variant. Enemies move as soon as I shoot the canister before I can even light it on fire.
There's 8 exclusive classified assignments for season pass holders
Did the first mission and we killed the boss but there was one other enemy that was glitched under the map and we couldn't complete the mission because of it so I just logged out haha. Texture pop-in on PS4 seems a little improved over the private beta where it was really extreme, but it's definitely still there. Gonna play more tonight for sure though.
Works better in a team where another fires after you launch it. Does work against enemies who are firing themselves I think. But yeah, when solo takes too long to put away and get your weapon out.
Tried it again and yeah totally not for me. Had zero interest in Anthem, played the demo and knew with in mins I liked it. Liked Divison 1 but grew tired of it after finishing it, since then I've grown tired of the modern warfare genre and this does nothing to bring me back. Best thing I can say is it only crashed on me twice and guys aren't as spongy as D1.
Just played about an hour - almost flawless except for some of the texture pop-in (XBX X). I really like how detailed the world is and I don't seem to get tired of looting backpacks and boxes. Will def play some more, having fun.
I feel very conflicted man. Even more now that I'm playing the Beta. I'm having a blast with Anthem's gameplay and sci-fi setting/moves. But the game has less content. With the Division 2, I have more content but the gameplay doesn't feel quite as fun. Mind you I played countless hours of Division 1 when it came out.
So it's a balancing game for me lol. One game has the speed and flying around and spectacle, the other is way more grounded but has lots of content and variety.

I feel like you keep posting about how much you dislike it in hopes that people will respond. It's okay if you don't like it, enjoy Anthem!
Anthem definitely has the wow factor, especially the first hour or so. But it's obvious that game is going to be under construction for quite some time. They have to fix the foundation of the game before they can even add actual content.
Division 2 has a solid foundation with content right out the gate and they'll be able to add content more frequently.
End of the day it depends on your level of tolerance with Anthem. It's clear they don't have a clear goal ahead of them and just flinging whatever possible against the wall and seeing what sticks with the community.
Oh yeah! Never even dawned on me that there don't seem to be any civilians in the game who aren't fighting.
A mess, shame really, love a lot about the game but the texture problem is just too annoying.
Damn still stuck at work. Can't wait to get back into the world.
This feels even more like The Purge than the first one. The game world seems more cluttered and less cut and paste. Can't praise the atmospheric music, get those creepy vibes when it's pitch black and you can hear the gunshots go off in the background.

If he doesn't have a negative post on every page, how are people going to know to ignore this game and play Anthem instead?
It's not the first time I go through this cycle, as a GaaS player over the years I've come to expect things to be rocky at the start and then develop into something better. I remember the days of Division 1 when people would complain about the game's lack of content, or the crappy loot drops. It wasn't until 1.8 that the game turned ship and by then a lot of people had left.
So when it comes to that, yes I know Massive has a roadmap and by now they know what they are doing since this is a sequel and there were lessons learned. And even then I'm sure there will be issues once this game drops too.
Fact of the matter is both Anthem and Division are very different games mechanically, if we put content variety aside. Idk if they can co-exist due to there only being so many hours in a day after work to put time into a looter game, but I'm still conflicted here. Maybe I'm the only one. I'll probably end up alternating between games when content drops for either one lol.
Ended up doing some side missions in the rain so its nice to see some weather dynamic other than night/day. Not feeling the loot drops. So far all I'm getting is SMGs and shotguns.
Ive found that the single shot weapons tend to be a lot easier to handle, obviously lol. It was more just me not being used to it.
Thanks for the heads up! Just posted in the Discord.
I made 3 post after trying it. Don't worry unlike the people that stalk the anthem threads and calling people beta testers, I don't stick around after I done with a game. At least a dodge a bullet with this one.
Played the first couple of missions, still love how much better the actual game play feels over the first. Was still getting texture load in, it's not as bad as the private beta but it's still really annoying. I'm in day 1, but really hope they can iron this out.
Chem launcher like someone mentioned above does work better in a group and it came in handy in a few instances. Not sure I'd drop it for my turret but can see myself utilizing it just to mix up game play. Haven't tried the foam variant but looks like it could be fun.

That sounds right from the infographic.

Just did the first major mission at the Theater and I think I'm done doing missions, the game is close and I don't wanna do too much.
But I do love it so much, this game will probably keep me occupied for a while.
But I do miss the snowy New York.

You would have to play through again, progress isn't carried over... There is also a new single player mission.
As much as I want to play The Division 2, I am passing on this beta because release is so close and I don't want to explore large areas and ruin the main game for myself.

Enjoying my time with the beta, doubt I'll buy it day one though. Graphics don't look that improved, but still looks pretty sharp on PC. The setting doesn't do the graphics any favors, the vegetation looks very 2D and fakey. Snow setting was much easier on the eyes if you ask me. Anyway, what matters to me is the progression, loot system and endgame, so i'll just have to wait and see.
Movement mechanics seem like a slight improvement, but the gunplay is still pretty meh. 3rd person shooting just shouldn't exist if you ask me, having my body take half the screen is so distracting, and the fact that the camera is behind your character makes enemies look farther away than they should. I've said it before and I'll say it again: they should have gone the Ghost Recon: Wildlands route.

Man I am in the same boat. I don't want to play through the beta because I have the Gold Edition preordered so it unlocks on the 11th but the urge that the beta is there is killing me!
Man I loved the first Division and this feels right at home. after playing beta for few hours I know I want more, so day one it is.
Anyone playing on PS4 pro have framerate problems? The open world plays rather good but but the indoor missions are dropping frames like crazy, is it a bug?

Anyone else is getting all pumped up with the soundtrack so far?
Yeah, I want to do my own character that looks like me, but the randomizer threw a latino-looking grey haired man with tattoos that looks insanely cool, lol.
In fairness, all Anthem threads were nothing but people slagging it off and praising Division 2 for a very long time.
Eh? You seem rather odd.
There have been a number of high-profile games that have had performance issues on PS4 Pro.
Including this one. It's not BS. Its very real. You can see people complaining about it in this very thread.

That's weird, considering TD2 private beta was available a week after Anthem demo.
Guess these people were so fanboy they traveled a week into the future to be able to praise TD2.
I had this problem in the private beta. Too bad they didn't fix it yet.
The endgame mission was unplayable to me, so I had to force my Pro to 1080p to be able to complete the mission.
Strangely, only this mission had this problem.
Is this with a rust platter or ssd?
I've been playing a bit on my pro with an internal ssd and I only noticed one low poly tree in a cut-scene that quickly became high poly.
Thinking about it, division is actually stored on my external drive which is a rust platter too.
Maybe I just haven't noticed it.
that is the joke, on base PS4 the game runs better than on the Pro. On the Pro as soon as there is action there is screen tearing with sub 30fps, you can also see trees popping in on the horizon when running around. sometimes even floor textures don´t load in, in the first settlement the ground floor came in like 25 seconds later, it looked horrendous...frankly its been a long time since i saw such slow texture loading in a game, sometimes the game looks like a late last gen game
