I actually switch between the two depending on my mood. I really like the technical and (some of the) gameplay changes as they make the gameplay a bit more fun for me (especially everything that has to do with enemy armour) but story and atmosphere wise, as well as in terms of the map I definitely prefer the first game.
Heck, I’m even willing to run around the Dark Zone there unlike in the sequel where I popped in a few times and called it quits. It’s just not the same.
Yep, the map and enemy factions are my main complaints with the second one as well. For me they just feel less like a natural continuation of the first game and more like a generic post-apocalyptic setting with TD flavour.
It sucks because the detail and design work on Washington is really great, it just doesn’t feel as good as a complete package.
I also go back to the first The Division game every so often. The snow covered city is beautiful and one of my all time favourites.
The Division 2 is kind of meh in comparison.

I do like some of the mission locations in TD2, the weapon specialist roll and even the backpack charms but the city in general is very repetitive.
