Played the release demo that they had - thought that was pretty good.
Know a few at work who play it and highly rate it.

It's so good. I've had games where I've helped people loot for certain items or take down ARC's and I've had games where I claim to be friendly and then shoot them in the back. There's really nothing quite like it 😂

You one of these guys that hangs about the escape elevators hiding in bushes?
Not my playstyle tbh mate you been had by that too then? 😂
I still feel bad for what I did to someone at extraction the other night. I was properly cutting it tight with seconds left trying to get to last extract seemed like someone had already called it in probably thinking they was the last one in the game before I run up out of nowhere and killed them.
It was a completely pointless kill too because the extraction auto closed before I could even loot them. 100% ruined the whole raid for that person. In my defence though I had some solid loot and instinct took over.

So............ made the fatal mistake of thinking that this game when played in solo was exactly that. Then realised that my Lvl 0.1 peashooter wasn't actually doing much against some enemy who was moving far too well for a bot. FFS - PvP is in every bit of this, isn't it?! 
I must have been really lucky on my first dabble as I didn't encounter anything other than robot opposition s**t. Now I've found that the 2025 iteration of campers simply hang around exit elevators, waiting for Lvl 1 numb-nuts like me to try to escape and get home. When you're at that low a level and in solo, you've one half of sweet FA chance of getting out of there alive.
I'll squad-up with others at work and probably enjoy it more - but I'm not really a fan of PvP stuff these days. Having completed both Division games, I avoided the Dark Zone like a dose of herpes. Conversely, the pure PvE aspect of Warframe where I clocked nearly 2,700 hours in, I found way more fun in working as a team towards an objective. I get the tension, the competition and dare I say 'fun' of backstabbing players that you've befriended in PvP - but I simply CBA with dying at the hands of some so-called teammate again and again. Probably funny when you're 12. Just f**king annoying when you're older.
Might have a short shelf-life this for me - but we'll see.

Solos is supposed to be the least PvP mode btw 😂
Raider hatch key is a must if you can and plan on having good loot. Use augments with safe pockets too if you can but if you go with no augment you also get a safe pocket. Occasionally I'll go in with absolutely nothing besides a safe pocket if I'm looking to get a blueprint or taking a key to loot a room.
Sometimes you have to be strategic with an extract too. Listen out for people dying when it's called earlier in the game or waiting until last minute to extract yourself. Scout the area too or throw a lure grenade in the likely hiding spots.
I don't mind the PvP but extract campers or people that backstab are the worst and they are only doing it because they suck at the game.

lol, I have completely the opposite experience in Solo. I must have done 30+ Raids now and have not been killed by a player once. Every time it has just been don't shoot exchange of messages and crack on with your game.So............ made the fatal mistake of thinking that this game when played in solo was exactly that.

I've even had random people just come and revive me and then run off.

I guess I'm just whiney because I didn't read up on the game before I bought it and simply assumed that solo was just that. Pretty much an offline mode for you versus the robot stuff while you get to grips with the basics, before dabbling against all and sundry online.
I managed to get entry to a room where another raider was holding out and killed him, before nabbing his stuff. Even then, I thought it may have been an AI opposition as he/she was dumb as s**t and had way better kit than I.
It was only while I was going through the loot in the room and managing the tiny inventory I had, that I heard someone else outside the room. They immediately fired on me, I hit them twice with the peashooter and then I was dead and they took everything. No comments, no options - nothing. That was fine though as I then realised that these people were actually other players.
Respawned with FA. Went back out and nabbed some materials. Then simply made my way to the nearest exit. Got killed in there whilst waiting for the next ice age as the left went down.
Now that I understand that 98.95% of players in this game are just utter cnuts - I'll shoot first and think about the consequences afterwards. t***s.

The Devs have said the game is based on aggression based match making if you regularly shoot other players you'll likely end up in those kind of lobbies. If you go a few times and don't shoot back you'll end up with friendlier lobbies. I'll play by both styles and it's surprising how quick it can change to less aggressive lobbies. Also certain maps and locations are prone to be more aggressive so that always something to think about too.
Also if I hear someone die nearby and look to have a nose I'll automatically assume the person isn't friendly seen as they just killed someone. Always got to watch out for the third party if you kill someone in solos jolt mines are a must if you plan on locking down an area for yourself to loot.

Everyone I encountered shot me no matter how passive I acted. Of course my mate wanted to kill people so I take it the game put me in the aggressive lobbies! Been playing with another mate and going in with no loadout just to find loot and low and behold after a few games everyone's friendly.
They should add an option which is pve only but with added robots to keep the action high, much rather die to a robot than a squad.

Absolutely. Have a rating system that averages out a percentage per game that that person is likely to be a cnut. It doesn't always mean that they will be - but at least give some form of likelihood to their actions.
No different in a way to the 'cleanliness' rating that you get in racing games. Not infallible by any stretch but way better than nothing at all.
