It is sad that ubisoft/massive did not focus more on the stories on their DLCs. Hopefully they will shed more lights on these stories on D2. These are forgotten stories on the game. Keep up the good work.
Masterminds HD yup they are the main characters. Your character basically delivers cortana to the ship thats on the first halo when it starts. But you stay behind and fight off a massive hordes of elites and go down like a boss. Noble-6 was a badass
Masterminds HD only thing is one member of noble squad survived on reach. If Doug had survived it would've been interesting seeing how Aaron keener knew him... I wonder if he would've gone rogue or stayed with the JTF
Looking forward to your next video on April Kelleher. It’ll be very interesting how they’ll lead her story in with Division 2. I’ve noticed on the trailer for Division 2, you see a parcel just outside of a door with the label saying to April Kelleher. I’m so glad they’ve connected the story, makes it so more interesting!
Masterminds HD yeah cause manhunts are super annoying when all they do is camp the safe houses all day... Its why I don't go there at all. I do my division tech grinds at the wsp its faster and no one takes your shit.
April is simply just the author of The Division's tie in book. She comes up in a lot of other ECHOs, and I think one other Missing Person mission. That said, I don't think it's anything past her being an author.
Hunters should've been in the main game, IMO! Ubisoft missed a good opportunity for an good backstory. Ubisoft could've went several stories: 1.) capture agents and brainwashed; both waves 2 .) Foreign army soldier sent disrupt agent activities 3.) Hunters are apart of secret U.S Gov't Agency who's leader went rogue and/or assisted Amherst with the Green Poison plague. As a result they sent Hunters in to tie up loose ends and they have the green light to engage agents.
Masterminds HD for the other comments about Halo Halo Reach has a story circulating about a squad who slowly got picked off and died, the last one who is pretty much new compared to the others who had tons of experience survived fighting til he got killed from the back (stabbed). Its the saddest story in the franchise. Its a great story tbh. I think the story is similar to Division Noble Squad
The sad thing about Noble Squad and any other First Wave agents is they are possibly either killed by criminals or by Aaron Keener (remember Police Academy Mission) or went rough. Mostly anything we found about First Wave agents never a good thing. Personally, I like to become a First Wave agents than a Second Wave agents, because they are vulnerable, easily to be killed, different than Second Wave who just revive everytime they are killed (I know, it's because of the game). They reminded me that we are not invicible, and why we became a Division Agent. Joke aside, the reason I want to become First Wave agent because everytime we see them, they have two health bar (1 armor bar, 1 health bar), healing stations and turrets that have limitless duration, not mention that they can deploy many stations and turrets as once. I even saw one First Wave agent deployed 5 turrets in Russia's Consulate. Thank you for the video.
Ryouji Ishimaru the thing about first wave agents is they hack other turrets. So if there's 5 combat engineers and you kill then they keep the turrets up. Same thing with your equipment :) if you throw anything their way they will disable it with a disruptor and hack it and itll be theirs so watch out for that
Yes, that's just one more reason that First Wave is more bad-ass than Second Wave. There is one thing that bothers me about the First Wave agents. When they were killed by other factions like Rikers, they took their gears and equipment, that meant they literally accessed to SHD techs, right?
Ryouji Ishimaru well I'm guessing thats how the hunters came to be. Its just a guess but it would be interesting to have the division 2 shed light on who the hunters really are. My guess is their part of a contingency plan by the government to wipe out all traces of directive 51 in case it would fail. Seeing how the division 2 takes about 6-9 months after the division 1 maybe theyll show us who the hunters really are. I just hope those lmb scouts aren't around anymore I hate those sasg wielding cunts.
Yeah, I want to believe that SHD won't let anyone get their techs that easily and they will, one way or another, need something or someone to wipe all the traces if their techs get to wrong hands. For the hunters, I think they are working for the Russia, I said this in Mastermind's video about the hunters, but theory is a theory unless it's canon. And, you're not the only one who hates those SASG cunts, but me too, to hell with all the assholes wielding shotguns.
If there truly was anything I'd have the devs expand/alter in this game, it would most definitely be to go back to what they were selling everyone way back in 2013- 2014: A story driven, RPG tactical shooter with MMO elements. What we ended up with was a loot shooter. They could still go in and add some more lore to the game.Wheres Keener April and the Russian Virologist? No one claimed to have recovered Col. Bliss's body, so is he really dead? What about all of that field data, like the guy who thought he was a super hero or Dr, Kndal's eccentric ex playing piano in the snow? Man I wish they'd go back and touch down on some of that in patches before they drop D2.
I have a problem when I was in part 4 and investigated and got the file part 5 was not unlocked to me and I can't find echo no.4 again to re do it so I can go to part 5
Okay, let's state the facts: 1. Noble Squad consists of four team members, the group from the trailer are only three. 2. Simply comparing the looks from the Echoes to the trailer group and they look different. 3. In the trailer/gameplay footage from E3 the group had names like Ryan, Megan and Bronson. These might've been the names of the player, but we're not sure. Let me ask you: why do you think they are Noble Squad?
I can only agree to the 2nd point you raised. For point 1, there was no indication when that trailer happened, or if the 4th agent is hiding somewhere (e.g., sniper on the roof). For point 2, I didn't check the echo closely. Maybe you are right. For point 3, not the trailer with Ryan, this: ruclips.net/video/tS8sposOc34/видео.html
btw, nice videos, the story of the division has so much potential, but most people only come to the game and stack the armor numbers, sad. It feels great to see videos focusing on the storyline.
Anyone else want like a prequel game where you play as the first wave of division agents and it all starts from the very beginning of the virus and you get to experience the suffering and pain that the first wave had to go through as society fell and they tried to keep it up.
I know it's kinda late but the noble squad they are the same guys that were shown in the trailers? Cecelia looks like that red head girl in the trailer
I enjoy this video a good bit but I like to see how things went for noble squad. I wonder if the game could've been different if they were around. The sad part was when Cecilia was holding his hand as they died but if he held her in his arms then I may have cried
@@MastermindsHD it makes you think of agents can ever be saved and if they can love one another. I know you can be teammates but if both of you are dying and single then I'd take that chance before it happens
Well done. The game had SOME depth but ultimately it was non-committal. If only we could have gotten wrapped up in this story. The little details in this game are incredible but were overshadowed.
When I played this game I found the echo and dear god it was the first time in the game I was hooked to a mystery on a team I wanted to find all proof of what happened to them and when I got to the end I was satisfied but left with a question of what happened to the girl I never found her or her echos I thought it was a throw away loose end but nope I’m gonna watch that video next but seriously I prefer the 1st games echo it was more mysterious and made it feel more detective the 2nd game has that too but seemingly not as much.
I dont think that she would still be alive . My main reason being that she has a stand off with keener and He survived that incounter because He sended us a Message in Amherst labortory
Really sucks that the really good bits of the story are locked behind these boring collectables. We _bought_ the game we shouldn't have to essentially grind for it.
It was disappointing to me that the real story was in echoes and phone recordings. Could have just made more missions. Still a great game though. I never really cared about collectables in games and don't think the majority does either.
I think they should've expanded on the main story with missions and other interactive features, but I do like that you have to search for other good stories. That makes it worth it.
@@MastermindsHD i think so, although i think thats intentional because of the nature of ECHOs. They arent thing of reality so its bound to have some glitches such as wierd audio or the "pixels" in the ECHO. IF thats what he meant
It is sad that ubisoft/massive did not focus more on the stories on their DLCs. Hopefully they will shed more lights on these stories on D2. These are forgotten stories on the game. Keep up the good work.
It seems they have learned from it in TD2.
R.I.P. Noble Squad. You will not be forgotten. Go get 'em, Doug.
The story of the First Wave is pretty tragic
Hoorah
Just like halo reach the last man went out with a bang
I never played any Halo games, but I'm guessing there was a Noble Squad in Halo Reach?
Masterminds HD yup they are the main characters. Your character basically delivers cortana to the ship thats on the first halo when it starts. But you stay behind and fight off a massive hordes of elites and go down like a boss. Noble-6 was a badass
Masterminds HD only thing is one member of noble squad survived on reach. If Doug had survived it would've been interesting seeing how Aaron keener knew him... I wonder if he would've gone rogue or stayed with the JTF

Really? That's awesome.
In the division 2 they should add a office/personal quarters
Edit:for your agents
Boden Hamilton 👍 that would be lit
Oh yeah
That's awesome
We could have a underground base with all our guns and stuff displayed
I honestly hope the division 2 adds hunters to the DZ. Itll punish the manhunt players that camp safe houses for hours
Agreed
Masterminds HD yeah cause manhunts are super annoying when all they do is camp the safe houses all day... Its why I don't go there at all. I do my division tech grinds at the wsp its faster and no one takes your shit.
@A L ikr. Now I go to the DZ cause I got my gear sets and I got to the point that I'll take 2 people with me before I go down lol
Heh i didnt caught hunter since im playing div 2 and im TW5 grind in DZ still no hunters caught by me
Noble Squad was under Equipped and not ready for the Fight.
That April Chick. She's no doubt going to play a Part for Something
She's indeed
@A L there's Evdiance. And proof of the Dollar Bill Virus where it started
April is simply just the author of The Division's tie in book. She comes up in a lot of other ECHOs, and I think one other Missing Person mission.
That said, I don't think it's anything past her being an author.
Doug should have survived and been MIA only turn up as a hunter.
:O
Eh. my guess is HUnters are LMB with special training. That or some really bad ass first wave agents...the guys who ate their wheaties..
Sometimes you see hunters with red division watches on them, they could be examples of first wave agents who hunted rogues
Alexander Lee or just rogue agents hunting others
Hunters should've been in the main game, IMO! Ubisoft missed a good opportunity for an good backstory. Ubisoft could've went several stories: 1.) capture agents and brainwashed; both waves 2 .)

Nice tribute to the fallen and missing members of Noble Squad. I'll like to see Sutton's fate get disclosed in D2.
But they did that in TD1? :O
Masterminds HD I must have missed something, I thought he disappeared after rescuing Kelleher.
No, he died.
Masterminds HD I just went to the Echo site, you're right. He's also in the 4th Shields audio log but the person he's talking to isn't from Noble.
Krazi speed Ik I’m almost 2 years late but in the echo it says he’s losing a ton of blood, he’s def dead
Masterminds HD
for the other comments about Halo

Its a great story tbh. I think the story is similar to Division Noble Squad
Thanks, I see the similarities
Masterminds HD
No problem :)
Keep up the good content!
Noble Six was new to the team, not to fighting. He wasn't a head hunter for no reason
When I found the 1st evidence for Noble squad in my gameplay I immediately thought of Halo Reach.
Cool. I never played Halo, so I didn't but it sounds like a good story.
They all died on reach expect 1
Oh wait wrong game
I have no idea what you're saying, but sure
Masterminds HD the game 'halo reach'
There is absolutely no way that noble squad is not a nod to halo reach.
DBC Media ikr
Only difference between first wave agents and spartans (halo) is that first wave agents turn rogue (majority) and spartans even die for their jobs
Thank you for making these videos, they are fantastic.
Thanks for the kind words :D
I love this story. It's so touching.
Agreed
What i found out today from division 2, they are giving clothes apparel as a reminder of the fallen hero's....
Noble squad...
I saw that. Pretty cool.
The sad thing about Noble Squad and any other First Wave agents is they are possibly either killed by criminals or by Aaron Keener (remember Police Academy Mission) or went rough.

You're welcome. And you say some stuff I think we can all agree on.
Ryouji Ishimaru the thing about first wave agents is they hack other turrets. So if there's 5 combat engineers and you kill then they keep the turrets up.

I can't wait for April's story! Goodjob!
Thanks dude
Tony Garzia, Cecilia Ann, Akil Hoopster and Douglas Sutton, The Noble Squad (First Wave Agents) they may now Rest in peace
I think sidestories like these should've been explored more. It gives the world more of a feeling it's alive.
If there truly was anything I'd have the devs expand/alter in this game, it would most definitely be to go back to what they were selling everyone way back in 2013- 2014: A story driven, RPG tactical shooter with MMO elements.

Man I wish they'd go back and touch down on some of that in patches before they drop D2.
Perhaps in a TD2 or even TD3 if that ever is released they will touch upon that. Let's hope so.
I remember the first time seeing this echo in game and I was like.... "yoooo DOUG A SAVAGE" lol those were the good times in division :)
Agreed
They outright told him he’d be a waste of ammo. Why’s it I feel that particular dead guy got the most screwed over
Who got told that?
Masterminds HD the 2nd last to die. “ picked clean “ of his gear, he recalled it as he lay dying.
I have a problem when I was in part 4 and investigated and got the file part 5 was not unlocked to me and I can't find echo no.4 again to re do it so I can go to part 5
Ghost at 7:17 and then it goes away after he looks again
Scary stuff, looks like a civilian though.
Is the noble squad the same group of people saving the man on the street in the original trailer?
No, I'm pretty confident that they're not.
is it because everyone in the trailer of the division is already 2nd wave? can you say more?
Okay, let's state the facts:
1. Noble Squad consists of four team members, the group from the trailer are only three.
2. Simply comparing the looks from the Echoes to the trailer group and they look different.
3. In the trailer/gameplay footage from E3 the group had names like Ryan, Megan and Bronson. These might've been the names of the player, but we're not sure.

That would be cool, although I like the fact that we're going to Washington D.C.
aw waw did you discover all that by yourself, your amazing.
I'm the best. Thanks for acknowledging.
Off course they died, when the enemy could tank bullets to the head and division agents only have 3 healt bars.
It's only logical
Douglas Sutton is the true hero of his fallen Squad and may now Rest in Peace
True
The story is the best part of this game. Hope the expand on it in the division 2.
Agreed
I know it's kinda late but the noble squad they are the same guys that were shown in the trailers? Cecelia looks like that red head girl in the trailer
I don't think so.

*Hands over a tissue*
Their Sacrifice will not be forgotten, Their Memories will live on forever
Definitely
Anyone else here because of the apparel event going on in DV2 right now?
I'm here, but mostly because I saw you commenting on it.
Well done. The game had SOME depth but ultimately it was non-committal. If only we could have gotten wrapped up in this story. The little details in this game are incredible but were overshadowed.
I know, right?
Can you do the jtf
Fireteam Delta
I'm gonna die if he gonna make a video about them 😂😂😂
Perhaps in the near future I will
I hope you don't. You have to watch the video.
Masterminds HD
Nooooo bro u know I can't even watch them man .... they really make my life complicated 😂😂✌
When I played this game I found the echo and dear god it was the first time in the game I was hooked to a mystery on a team I wanted to find all proof of what happened to them and when I got to the end I was satisfied but left with a question of what happened to the girl I never found her or her echos I thought it was a throw away loose end but nope I’m gonna watch that video next but seriously I prefer the 1st games echo it was more mysterious and made it feel more detective the 2nd game has that too but seemingly not as much.
Agreed. Also, April Kelleher has an entire story
Masterminds HD
I know I saw those videos yesterday which might I say were exquisite seriously nice videos.
Great lore vedio I LOVE IT
Thanks, you freakin' furry
I dont think that she would still be alive . My main reason being that she has a stand off with keener and He survived that incounter because He sended us a Message in Amherst labortory
Wrong Video
April Kelleher? I think you're in for a surprise
Really sucks that the really good bits of the story are locked behind these boring collectables. We _bought_ the game we shouldn't have to essentially grind for it.
I like grinding for this, feels extra rewarding. But I think they should've done a similar thing with the main story.
How can they die when everyone is a bullet sponge
Good one
they didnt have nomad gear... sad lol
How stupid were they? Pfff
It was disappointing to me that the real story was in echoes and phone recordings. Could have just made more missions. Still a great game though. I never really cared about collectables in games and don't think the majority does either.
I think they should've expanded on the main story with missions and other interactive features, but I do like that you have to search for other good stories. That makes it worth it.
@@MastermindsHD yes it is cool to an extent. But there are a whole lot more then needed. They should have had like 3 or 4 more missions
I don't think a few extra missions would've solved it. I think it's a problem with mission design and story telling.
The division 3 should have us be a regular agent then throughout the game we go rogue
Assuming there will be a third one.
I'm sure I could single handedly take out that Riker group that killed them.
This part of the story is realistic, where the gameplay in The Division (you're referring to) is not.
i dont know, but i found this team was so fucking good
1 tank, 2 DPS and 1 Skill....
They had traditional roles?
@@MastermindsHD i just saw on the video
2:35, u having a stroke bro
Haha, that wasn't my gameplay. But, yeah.
Maybe Aaron Keener went to Washington D.C
I think he did, he had big plans.

Damn covenant

Can't they both be awesome without a competition? I think they can.
Kinda made me sad

By the Rikers?
