I know I am very late to the party, but I don't get much time to play. Bought it in the second week of release and I am still level 11, so, you get the gist :D.
But I still want to say this, Thank you, devs, for making open world worth it to actually roam on foot. Usually after a first couple of hours, I start finding fast travel points in open world games but here in TD2, you get rewarded, like so damn much, its over whelming!
I have found two amazing guns, BOTH, from random weapon cache hidden neatly behind a van or in the underground! And some amazing gear for my level too! Because of that now, I voluntarily explore every nook and corner, in the hopes of landing onto another awesome gear. In fact, the amount of time I just roam around going through alleys and underground is way more, than the amount of time I spend completing missions! So far I can confirm that for me, taking over control points and looting supply crates has been more beneficial for me than doing missions, in terms of loot!
And It's not just the loot. The open world encounters with enemies! Its so refreshing and amazing feeling! I am running down this road, suddenly I come upon 2 factions fighting each other, or Allies fighting some faction. WELL! As an SHD Agent, it is my utmost duty to protect and serve the civilians! *runs in guns blazing*
It just feels so normal to run around, I hardly fast travel at all. Its just running on foot, not even any vehicles or equipment to get around, but I never got bored of JUST RUNNING around! It might not sound amazing, but trust me, IT IS INCREDIBLE achievement! You are literally just running everywhere. Usually you would get so bored! But nope. There is so much things to loot. So many things to kill! And scout! And procure materials for crafting or providing resources to the control points! I love that mechanic. That's another reward! You fill up the control points with resources and you get the power to detect even more loot! VOILA! LETS RUN AROUND!
And as an added bonus, you get to see DC's famous landmarks and places. As a person who lives on the other side of the world, seeing NYC and Washington so life like and in this interactive way, is just mind blowing!
So, I want to give my utmost thanks to the devs. For all things that I read are broken, or have encountered broken, I love this game! Random enemies spawning behind you and killing you is the most annoying one, and then those random audio bugs, but that does not distract me from everything that has been done right, absolutely right in this game! It literally rewards you every second, for playing the game!
Thank you, Massive, for making this game good! Peace!
Edit: Thank you for the silver, my man!
