There were people who asked about that, and because this is still in the teaser phase, I guess, the answer repeatedly given was : “There will be several options!”
I am sure there be more teasers in coming days which bring more answers.

Ooh…I’m getting Terminator style Hunter Killer vibes here.
One week until the update at least in the Midwest I don’t know about other time zones. (CST by the way)
I think it will be available on 25th at 10 am (CEST) as usual. One week is still correct.
If I lose my resources which I have been collecting and storing for two and a half years it will be a case of “Adios amigos”. I don’t want to play the game again, I want new areas to explore and missions to complete. There has been nothing to do in the game for years except store stuff.

I wouldn’t say that.
The map has been revamped a lot in the past years, there are the soviets, some new missions, even new old missions. There are many new features, the (now working) assignments, base defenses and assaults.
I know what you mean, I wish to get new islands and Story elements, too.
But like tenebris said in his video, there is so much potential in this update and we should be excited what will come next.
I suppose like most things it’s what floats your boat. Personally I have never spawned a Reaper and spend a fair bit of time making sure I don’t . Having watched videos of people taking up to a half hour to dispatch one I decided this was not my scene. Similarly with base defence and assault. I have maximum bases which I only defend on Easy when told to by the game. All the others are max level Fnix bases which I just ignore.

I agree with some things.
I like attacking reapers, but I prefer to do this in coop.
I’ve done no base defense, since the control points have been introduced. Well, maybe one or two times at my old homebase.
Base assaults is something I often do, but just to reduce the amount of fnix bases… And to get some concrete for building or improving my own bases.
In general I just do the assignments and reduce fnix bases all the time. But I try not to use fast travel most times and try to make a perfect route for finishing the assignments.
I’ve always thought about starting a new game, but I was too lazy to make a manual backup of my safegame.
The new game+ feature will give me the option to play my old safe all the times I play alone and to start a new game for playing coop with my friend.
We’re less than a week away from release now and I can’t wait to have more story missions to run.
I’m down to 1 last mission to complete before everything is done in the current game with all DLCs. Of course, that’s In the Face of Adversity. I’m onto several attempts now and still can’t quite get the hang of riding the bike through some of the obstacles to get the checkpoint in the required time and without being killed. lol
I wait on Dark Skies with great anticipation.
Zesiir did this in today’s stream. With Pontus on his tail, who maybe inadvertently lured the attacks to him. Maybe that’s the strategy to try, if you do coop? You take point and let a friend draw the fire.
I’m going to keep trying and see if I can get it. It’s literally the last outstanding mission I have left, unless it gives you another mission at the end (which I doubt). I won’t be heartbroken if I don’t manage to successfully complete it now that Dark Skies is imminent.
Hopefully the VOD is up for the stream this evening so I can check it out.
And you might not know this, but there’s trick to peddle faster. I didn’t know. Maybe @Zesiir can explain how he did that.
I’ve noticed that tapping steer left-steer right quickly somehow makes the bike accelerate faster when you start from standing still. Not sure how that works honestly 
Might have something to do with the bike going faster when you turn. Hmm.

I’ll have to give that a try and see how it works out for me. It may not make my bike riding any better, but may make accelerating a touch faster. Although I’m not sure more speed is exactly what my old-ass reflexes really need. lol

OK, bravo @Zesiir. Just watched the stream VOD on Twitch. Nice race. At least now I know I was so close to the end. The obstacle where I have to go through the truck and container always gets me.
And I can console myself in the fact that I was doing better than Pontus in all my attempts, even though I never completed it either. lol

Pfffh, you never specified the rules…
Its heavily implied that you don’t cheat though!
