Massive Entertainment's The Division, like Destiny, is a massively multiplayer online experience, where players will work together (and against each other) in an online world. Therefore some players have been worried that the game doesn't lend itself very well to players that prefer to go it alone.
Now Community Developer Hamish Bode has reacted to these worries via an interview with Lazygamer, where he states that while more fun and diverse with friends, the game can be played solo:
"For example: I could specialise in a more long range approach and you could be more up close [if playing together]. You'd have to be a little more multitasking if you were alone, or just try what works. That's what's interesting about the beta - people are going to find all sorts of ways that work for them."
The Division is also a seamless experience, and therefore there's no lobbies or waiting around for matchmaking. Climb a wall and find yourself in the game's Dark Zones, and the PvP action begins:
"It is seamless. For example, the Dark Zone. You don't load into it, you just jump the wall and you're in. And sometimes [players] are going to do this accidentally. And it's not always just walls - there are different types of entries and exits [to different zones]. And some only act as entries. So if [players] aren't sure, maybe don't jump."
