Me, a day 1 division agent: HOLDUP RHODES WAS LMB???

[@AndrewBlackMaster]

He was a member of the LMB before a roadside ambush killed all members of his team in Iraq. It was this event that led Rhodes to turn his back on LMB and leave Iraq, providing his services to the JTF during the outbreak

[@Butter_Warrior99]

I did not know this.

[@notsoghostie00]

AndrewBlackMaster that’s very interesting info

[@justarandompersoniguess]

This is me tbh, like in the division 1, it said he was part of a PMC, but it didn’t specify what PMC it was.

[@MrTylerman127]

It feels like forever since you've uploaded a Division 2 video. This just made my morning. Thanks NGN

[@Kozłowski75]

After we beat Faye Lau (assuming we'll face her) I hope Paul Rhodes won't so mean to the Division anymore. Although I understand that it's because of the number of agents that went rogue.

[@AndrewBlackMaster]

It's not just the distrust of the SHD, Rhodes has a huge distain of the U.S Government, which includes the SHD

[@user-Jay178]

I get his distrust of the SHD and agent. Too many went rouge and Faye went rouge too. Great video

Ah Paul Rhodes, ancient former military egineer. Now Heaven refuge Leader. He a man with good intentions but he see the SHD like a threat. I hope we will giving back his faith on the SHD.

[@erinpitt580]

nope..... SHD is done..... but good will and intentions will prevail. trust me.... Isaac is gonna be compromised, or shut down. and the only people left with a watch will be the individuals wanting to be rogue and not afraid to wear the network Keener activated when he died. you have no idea what's coming......

[@NGN]

My thoughts exactly!

[@erinpitt580]

@@NGN 🤣 WooT!!

[@Saintbow]

@@erinpitt580 removing the SHD and disbanding the division would be the laziest writing concept the writers could go down and it would not only betray the core story, but also the fans. It would be having "Chaz" inside the game. If they remove the SHD and had them pursue their own plitics, you might as well rename the former agents street thugs or terrorist, since that is what Keener was and employed. There is a reason why these individuals joined the division, and it was not to promote their politics, or follow a rogue agents politics. It was for the protection and safeguard of the country and the people within. If they wanted to follow some terrorist politics and help him mass murder, go join one of the factions. but don't sit there and say that everyone wearing a watch would go rogue or go join Keener's cause. Only people who lack conviction would do so, and sounds like you're one of them.

[@erinpitt580]

@@Saintbow that was a lot. wow. didn't say they disbanding. Keener goal was to flip the tables on the SHD. that's what I was saying. they stole the network.... now it's theirs, he's dead, but activated theirs, and more rogue agents coming..... very soon.... LOTS. Calm down..... speculation is part of the fun.

[@laurabie7792]

I really dislike Rhodes especially when he brought up hell's kitchen in the conversation with Faye. Like good job Rhodes you reminded her of her sisters death, it would have been nice if u had helped but why would u. He hates the Division but when push comes to shove he always needs our help.

[@krishnarao3740]

That's how politics and diplomacy works, take a look at Russia and USA during ww2. They were both going to become sworn enemies cause of their conflicting ideologies and yet they decided to set aside their differences to fight the common enemy the Nazis. That's the same thing Rhodes and the division are doing, Rhodes doesn't like the division but he set aside his dislike for them to fight the enemy

[@laurabie7792]

@@krishnarao3740 Yes he helped the division and the jtf but only bcs he knew haven could be the next target. The rikers, The cleaners and rogue agents where always common enemies but he refused to help the jtf when he knew the where understaffed. Russia and amerika stayed allies and didnt flip flop between allies and no allies bcs they werent the primary target, they always helped and suported eachother unlike rhodes who only helps when he has something to gain.

[@matthewgaviola8885]

That side quest in which you have to look for his LMB buddy and save him was a good hint.

Former LMB then former JTF and Division now currently leading his own hardened and trained militia in New York? Damn.

[@JhameltheKing]

Love your vid ngn and can you do a lore on the iron horse raid. Also I wish the dev's expand on the lore of hornet and aron kenner like show Cinematic flash back of their relationship like Walker and nomad in ghost recon breakpoint

[@jaypig1386]

I kinda miss Division 1 (a lot). I miss the snow and the old hud. It would be cool if Division 3 took place when the 1st Wave was activated that way we would have a similar experience to Division 1 but not too similar that we'd get bored of it.

[@Frost-zg2ef]

love your vids keep up the good work

[@Saintbow]

I like Rhodes, as he is one of the best characters we have in the game. He was not wrong with reminding Faye Lau with what happened at Hell's kitchen. A lot of sisters, brothers, husbands, and wives were lost there but oh no, only Lau's sister is the important one... Buck up Faye, you're a soldier and you wanted to play soldier with everyone's lives, this is what happens when you continue to burn people like they're expandable resources. The Division is needed, as they serve as the hammer to prevent a lot of the evil from running rampant. I would really like to see Haven's Peacekeepers become that Shield to protect everyone.

[@Aristocratic13]

How was Faye at fault? At that point in time I might add.

[@StraightOutThaGudda4U]

I just don't get it why so many of them fight the good fight then go rogue, I mean obviously they got their reasons but it's for bad intentions, this whole virus really brought the dark side out of people ,their deeds were always evil I guess, I don't blame Paul for not trusting them at all, I wouldn't either, love this video mate! You voice is always so soothing 😊

[@jack727dave5]

My best guess is a lack of hope. Imagine the guy you played killed all the factions leadership and hunted down as much as you could. That would mean nothing things would still fall apart and break down and a lack of resources guarantees that there will always be more. After a while you have to wonder are they wrong to be selfish to focus on a small amount of people rather then the world. As an agent you can’t retire with out turning rogue which is a death sentence unless you have the power to fight off other agents.

[@StraightOutThaGudda4U]

I’m going to be honest: if the player itself had their own voice actor and everything, just something other than the average mute protagonist, I feel like the story would be a lot more interesting. Just like, I really think the story could be much more interesting than it already is if It did. Like the player needs a voice. Like really.

gamemaster27 I just went and listen to the audios. I didn’t know the new ones were available. Apparently Ellis was the one to pull them out. It’s all coming together. It kind of bugs my mind why Agents go Rogue. Sure they’re angry and want justice. But why wouldn’t they want the truth first? Theo is the only sane Rogue.

[@kerlongsjorlejov1945]

Yep. That guy. Rhodes is one of the best characters. I picked he was LMB during my time playing the Divison One. Ah, damn. Memories from that. At the end, he did trust your agent. When you came back with Keener dead and gone. But I don't blame him from being paranoid. Then again, that is what kept him alive. It's kinda hard not to become like him. Cynical. If you consider the fact that all we did in D1 was all for naught. All the hours I poured, with many others, in that game, only to find out it was for nothing. Damn.

I recall having a good laugh, during The Division on my play through a few months back, regarding defending a satellite array after rescuing a member of the Technician branch of the JTF, he, obviously losing his cool and likely in shock from losing his buddies to the, I believe the cleaners, opted to get off the rooftops in haste, then comes Rhodes over comms , and you know what he asked him, To find his balls and finish the Fu***** , job, and with new resolution to complete that task at hand went along with it while me and a couple other agents held off the attacks from the opposing foes. Just thought that might jog anyone’s memory of the comical moments that are far and few between from the original game

Can someone please tell me where the division 2 wony map is in correlation to the Division 1 map.

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

Roughly in the same part of Manhattan, but a bit further south. For context, one of the explorable locations in Warlords of New York is Battery Park, which is a real location in New York City; It's a tourist attraction located on the southern edge of Manhattan close to the waters of New York Bay. Since Battery Park was obviously not present in the Division 1 no matter how much further you went on the map in any direction, this means Warlords of New York is set closer to the southern edge of the island whereas the Division 1 was closer in proximity to the southern edge of Central Park. For further context, New York City Hall, which is in Warlords of New York, is located just down the road from the Brooklyn Bridge, but we never even got to really see the Brooklyn Bridge back in the first game aside from maybe a couple of cinematics.
