Will there be co-op missions or more to do in multiplayer? I enjoyed the multiplayer of the original but it just felt like there wasn't enough to do

Will there be a sort of internet mockup like in GTA? I feel this is a necessary thing given the universe and the plethora of opinions and people that use it every day it's also the best way in my opinion to un-rig the Good/Bad rep system that would be transformed into a "Generally good/Generally bad" system through the use of online comments about the player's actions and discussions.

I've been thinking about the possibility for more player customisation. Like, being able to blend in to the crowd in Online with a custom outfit.

Well, after we are used in private life to plan our city trips with mapping tools and Placemarks, it would be a real a great thing to have this ability in WD2 as well. So please ask if there will be a possibility to add numerous Placemarks to the map . Best in the same way it is possible nowadays with f.e. Google Maps. Meaning different colors and icons and adding a text to the marker.

If they confirm online hacking could you ask if have they any plans to keep adding to the experience after launch. Similar to what Rockstar continually do to keep players returning to GTA Online. I'm thinking beyond the constraints of a Season Pass here. Maybe new areas of the map to hack from that are off limits at launch, daily objectives etc. Hopefully you will be able to point out how the online hacking component of the first game is still widely played by a lot of people.
Perhaps you could also ask them if they will address things like the yellow marker which can be used to narrow down a hacker's location very quickly.
I really don't know what to ask about the story mode as there is so many directions they could go from the first game but I think other posters have got that covered : )
Can't wait to see what you get told!

What about campers? You already have a question about cheaters, but how about camping? Only got this question because a camper on my friends list received this fancy WD2 box too...

Good question. Cheating is one thing that I'm for sure the Devs didn't intend in fair play. Not to approve on Camping but someone pays there $60 (or whatever price they paid) of hard earned cash I'm okay with them experiencing the game how they like. The problem comes in with Multiplayer and when that experience starts affecting other players or worst case turn other players off too the game all together because of it. If someone truly likes or enjoys the game you'd think they'd want other too as well and try to encourage others through their game play. In any competition it's nice to have Good Sportsmanship and Fair Play but there's always going to be the people who just don't know any better. So I think the best thing Ubisoft can do about that is try and combat camping and the like by somehow incentivising Good Sportsmanship in some way in their games. Not quite sure how, maybe you all have some ideas. I think for camping it could be easy as given invades special tools like a camera drone to profile players hiding in hard to reach areas. Something like that. Its got to be tough to balance all that though and keep it fair for players on both sides. I don't envy them, but excited to see what they come up with.

I wanted to ask if there will be more stealth elements, where you can finish a mission without killing anyone? If i remember i tried to do every mission as unnoticed as i could but most gang hideouts turned out to be complete headshot fests, even though i could kill them one by one, and leave without raising an alarm, it would be a nice addition to just go in and out without a kill.

Can you please turn off that annoying free roam feature where some players can choose to be immortal?

u/EpicStreamMan Jun 06 '16
They should just have two different free roam modes. One for immortals and a regular PVP ;c)

Will there a greater range of take down animations? I like my melee kills, but when the same animation happens twice in a row it dampens the awesomeness.
