Being serious for a brief moment though, for Episode #185 of SITREP Radio the lads go through the latest State of the Game broadcast which brought with it a number of surprises. A new game mode, plenty of bug fixes and improvements, new cosmetics to chase and even a brand new gun to loot. This week Hamish, Yannick and Drew bought gifts for all the players of The Division 2.
Oh, and the best...
2019-12-051h 07SITREP Happy HourSOTG RETURNS, GLOVES & CASSIE
This week Mike says "Tidbits". Luke says "Engaraged" and Rob says "Girth".
Seriously though, for Episode #184 of SITREP Radio the lads once again discuss State of the Game and it's importance to the game's community. There has been a fair amount of salt flying around recently after it was announced that SotG was taking a break and wouldn't be back until after the New Year. How dare the development and communication teams actually take their contractually obligated Christmas leave, right?
The guys also have a chat about state The Division 2 is currently in...

For Episode #183 of SITREP Radio the lads take the opportunity to discuss State of the Game and it's importance to the community of Tom Clancy's The Division. With the communication survey currently doing the rounds, and the latest episode of SotG focusing on it's own future, the boys wanted to put their thanks on record and re-iterate just how fortune they feel we are to have this direct line of communication from the developers on such a regular basis.
Mike, Rob and Luke also give a quick round-up of what they've been up to in...
2019-11-1450 minSITREP Happy HourNo Survival or Crossplay?
It's a short episode this week for Episode #182 of SITREP Radio as news is a little on the slim side at present. With State of the Game having another week off while the team "work on shaping future updates", the lads take the opportunity this week to keep things streamlined.
Mike, Rob and Luke give an update on how their return to the Dark Hours raid went (spoilers, it took a while). They also touch on something that portions of the community have been complaining about this week after ComDev AmperCamper mentioned there were currently...

Mike, Rob and Luke take a look at what the future holds for the Tom Clancy's The Division franchise this week for Episode 181 of SITREPRadio. With no State of the Game this week the lads decided to discuss the recently articles from a number of sources that delve into the latest set of Ubisoft financial reports. With Ghost Recon: Breakpoint posting disappointing financial results, as well as poor reviews from both critics and the community, as well as 'worse than expected' sales results for The Division 2 since launch, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot is quoted as saying "more...
2019-10-311h 04SITREP Happy HourTU6 IS THE RIGHT DIRECTION
Join Mike, Rob and Luke for Episode 180 of SITREPRadio where the lads have a good old chinwag about the state of The Division 2 now that TU6/Episode 2 has been in the hands of the player base for over a week. It's fair to say there is far more positivity around the community at present with plenty of loot to be chased after, 2 new missions to be digested and the latest wave of balancing changes giving the whole game a far more rounded experience.
Be warned, there are spoilers from the new Pentagon and Darpa missions...

Episode 179 of SITREP Radio brings with it the first reactions of the lads after the TU6/Episode 2 dlc dropped. That's right, the new update is live and is seemingly being enjoyed by the vast majority of the community. Is it perfect? No, but it's a pretty big step in the right direction and it's real good to see some positivity from the community again.
Mike, Rob and Luke also take a dive into the worst of the communities behaviour this week, with Twitter and Reddit especially ragey/salty/toxic. We've said before and we'll no...

Episode 178 of SITREP Radio is a late one after Mike was away in Cornwall earlier in the week, so apologies for the delay. We promise we'll be back to our usual recording slot next week.
For this weeks' episode the lads talk about the state of Title Update 6/Episode 2 and the seemingly lacklustre amount of content that is coming to the game with this update. With replay-ability seemingly at an all time low, or just the desire within the community to keep going over the same missions, it poses the question about what the future...

Episode 176 of SITREP Radio sees the lads take an in-depth look at the plethora of changes that have hit the PTS this past week, and how they feel they will impact the live game.
With Fredrick Thylander on State of the Game this week to talk through the balancing to weapons and gear with Hamish, it was the perfect opportunity for Mike, Rob and Luke to discuss in detail all the tweaks that have been implemented. Rather than the usual nerfs there are a number of sizeable buffs on top of a series of reworks...

That's right, following on from their recent discussion regarding PvP in The Division 2, the lads this week provide their collective feedback on how the game has seemingly missed the target on a number of key features since launch, especially for one that was billed as being "Endgame focused" prior to its launch. There is also a brief discussion about the impact they envisage ETF-Echo will have on the future updates, and when their input will be felt in-game.

This week the lads discuss the aftermath of TU5 dropping and the array of issues that have plagued the game since. In fairness to the Devs, they have issued one patch already and are issuing another one on Thursday 1st August. But, as was discussed on this weeks' State of the Game broadcast, there are plenty of things for the player base to be unhappy with currently. But don't fear as TU6 seems to...
2019-08-011h 04SITREP Happy HourTU5 HAS FINALLY ARRIVEDMike, Rob and Luke are back for Episode 169. The red-hot topics discussed this week are hot off the press, fresh from State of the Game and hot on the heels of the new DLC release. (That's right, with temperatures soaring across the UK this week it seems only fitting that we make some sort of half-assed attempt at hot topics jokes! Sorry.)
With TU5 dropping earlier this week, the lads talk about the new missions that dropped as part of the "Episode One" DLC package. They try to not give everything away, but there are a number of...
2019-07-251h 07SITREP Happy HourEpisode 1 Next Week with Deadly SkillsSITREP Radio is a two-man affair for Episode 167, as it is Mike's turn to swan off on his holidays this week. So Rob takes over the full hosting duties and Luke tries to keep things on-track ("tries" being the key word in that sentence).
The focus of this week's episode is the news of the PTS is now closed and almost all of the final values of skill changes and balancing have been decided upon ahead of Title Update 5 will going live on Tuesday 23rd July. Rather than discussing the plethera of changes one-by-one, Rob and Luke go...

In addition to that trailer and some info-graphics on Episodes 1, 2 and 3 that will fill out Year 1's content drops, we had an update on The Division movie that the lads have talked about a few times over the life of the podcast and the games franchise. It was this week announced that Netflix had secured the rights for...

So, as you'd expect, the lads start the podcast this week discussing the raid and their overall thoughts on it's appeal, enjoyment and difficulty levels.
Following on from their raid chat there was a State of the Game this week for the lads to discuss. Thylander joined Hamish this week to discuss some of the finer details of Title Update 4 which...

This week the lads gloss over the fact that they still haven't bested Razorback, that pesky drone-filled son-of-a-bitch, and concentrate on speculating what Title Update 4 will contain, as well as going over this weeks State of the Game broadcast.
Drew, from the developer team, joined Hamish this week to apologise for the recent AI-bug that came into the game with Title Update 3. He assured the player base that a fix was coming very soon and stated how disappointed and pissed-off the entire AI-team were that this bug found...
2019-05-3046 minSITREP Happy HourKEEP CALM AND RAIDEpisode 160 is, unsurprisingly, focused on Operation Dark Hours, the first ever Raid that has graced the Tom Clancy's The Division franchise.
Mike, Rob and Luke have played it. They've lost sleep because of it. Their characters have been bloodied, beaten, bruised and bullied by it. And no, they haven't completed it......yet! The lads spend the majority of this episode giving their reviews and feedback of the raid and its difficulty. Oh, and for the second week running the lads are joined by Borrietheblade.
As is now tradition the lads end the show with questions and...

There is also confirmation that the Raid is still on track for release before the end of May, and will be live real soon. However, it will not go live at the exact time of TU3 so that players have a little bit of time to adapt to the...
2019-05-091h 32SITREP Happy HourGearsets & PVE Dark Zone?For Episode 157 of SITREP Radio the lads talk Gear Sets and Dark Zone.
Mike, Rob and Luke talk through the talents that have been data-mined for the next three Gear Sets that are due to drop in The Division 2. Of course, this could all be conjecture at this stage as everything about these Gear Sets is subject to change, but that doesn't stop the lads giving them a good going over and theorising about their potential impact on the game.
There is also a lengthy conversation about whether or not the developers should now relent and...

Not to place the blame at anyone's doorstep or anything but the reason we didn't record last week was because Mike and his lovely wife had their second baby on recording-day last week, so Rob and Luke jumped at the opportunity to take the night off from talking about The Division, and instead played The Division.

State of the Game did not provide a release date for the new update, which upset quite a few of the community members. The lads actually think this is a good thing though as clearly the patch is not being rushed to release and perhaps they are working on some of the issues/changes that were suggested during the PTS phases. In other State of the Game news Petter...

After a couple of weeks of "secrecy" where the majority, if not all, of Massive's community team went dark while TwitchCon was underway and apparently a series of in-house workshops were taking place in Sweden there was a bombshell dropped during this weeks State of the Game broadcast.

There is plenty of feedback, some ideas as to how certain things can be improved and chatter as to what is or is not enjoyable.
The lads also show off their e-peens as they acquired all three of the new Classified Gear Sets from the latest Global Event. Well, Mike and Luke did. For once RNGesus was not on Rob's side.

Mike, Rob and Luke have been grinding away at the Global Event since its launch, and are really enjoying the fun element that is very much back in-game now. “Outbreak” as this Global Event is known forces players to play missions, incursions and HVTs in a specific way, with a damage modifier being applied to you if you get too close to NPCs. This doesn’t quite agree with Rob and Luke’s play-style, but they certainly appreciate the way it is changing their focus and forcing...
