>WHAT IS HELLDIVERS 2?
HELLDIVERS 2 is a 2024 crossplay, co-op, squad-based, PvE 3rd person shooter for PC, PS5 and XBox Series X/S where players fight against hordes of alien insects, robots and squids to Spread Democracy™. Players wage war on contested planets, each with a different biome, completing as many objectives as possible in a procedurally generated level while constrained by a time limit. With enough successful missions, a planet can be defended or liberated, and the player base must combine their efforts as much as possible to Liberate™ the galaxy.

>WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST HELLDIVERS GAME?
Released in 2015 for PC, PS3/4 and PS Vita, the original HELLDIVERS is a shared screen top-down shooter in the same setting. Its mechanics were based primarily on Arrowhead's first game, Magicka.

One day, when the game is in desperate need for a player count boost, they will drop a 40k Imperial Guard warbond

And it will be pure shit because Swedes hate (you)

Downward spiral of wh40k will make some intresting retrospective. Decline of vibe alone is something else.
From gritty, dark and pulpy of 90s. To serius grimdark of 2000s to shoot and cry hugfest of 2020s.
>>
>>556468081
Voting list is based on whichever planets have the highest player population at the time of the end of the last vote. Since Aurora Bay and Merak both had zero players, it defaulted to the remaining planets that weren't Chort Bay.
>>
>>556468585
I enjoyed the grimdark stuff from the 2000s. It had that grotesque magnetism to it, where you were repulsed but wanted to see more at the same time
>>
>>556467208
Nah i prefer a bigger investment in fleshing this game than that.

I want more Illuminate units ! NEW ones, alongside the Illuminate cultists. Give me an overseer field commander with a energy greatsword and a warp pack of his own, and some new horrors made from voteless already. Something. More bio-robotic units wouldn't hurt to have either, Drone, Laser Eye Turrets, Tripods and Stingrays ain't enough to satisfy me....

I would kill 10 trillion Swedes for more competent enemy AI.

Would be more interesting if the Automatons AND SE started to get along following that but a radical ultranationalist Automaton movement couped their leadership and returned everything to the current status quo with a small SE-aligned splinter faction remaining allied with SE so we could keep fighting alongside Automatons (a la SEAF spawns) every once in a while past this event.

Let's not act surprised here. The MO lasts another 3 days. Lately it doesn't matter wether it has a "hold x planet till MO expires" sub objective or not. Joel WILL make the MO last a full week so they can time their updates with tuesday. It's all thinly veiled railroading. No matter what, this MO will end with an hour or two left on the clock because it's convenient for AH and there's nothing we can do or change about it

Holy shit the reworked objective are actually FUN. Now High Diff FEELS like High Diff and Low Diff doesn't feel like a stripped down version because you are going after HVTs in heavily garrisoned areas whereas you're just knocking out supplies and logistic capabilities in less guarded ones.
The Local Defense Scrambling side obj is also amazing because it makes sentries viable for more than just being distractions that get taken out by the first turret to catch their attention.

The Jeet Brigade is Joel's lazy solution when he wants to set up MOs and retake a ton of planets if you liberate too much stuff on the automaton front. If you destroy the jeet brigade factories, he'd have to move it somewhere else further away from Cyberstan and you can't have that.

Where enemies approach from is too unpredictable for mines to be worth using over precision weapons. That and mines are stationary so you will get very little use out of them regardless if you're on the move.

They nerfed durable damage but you don't have durable health, so it doesn't change anything. And because the game is balanced with the idea that the longer you live, the more chances you have that a random 1 in a million scenario happens and annihilates you instantly, you just die randomly because a shotgun dev happened to have the entirety of it's pellets hit you in the head at sniper range.

Shield bubble helps with ragdolling from robot death explosions and general tankiness.

Melee boost armour is not that usefull for it, most damage is in the explosion which doesn't scale of it, and the hammer itself is only AP3.

Disappointment against bots because anemic damage.
Disappointment against bugs because you run out of ammo too fast mowing down the hordes.

They badly need to increase the ammo count by 50-100, or decrease the cooldown.

The dickle is unusable with a controller because for some reason the swedes decided to turn the rumble modifer up to maximum when your weapon starts heating up. So if you use the Laser Cannon, Scythe, Sickle, or Dickle, your controller turns into a hitachi wand almost immediately. It's extremely fucking annoying. As for the hellbomb, true it's good but I can't see myself taking it very often.

Gas mines are top tier for any mission because they can buy you time to reload or run away or lock everything down in a breech/drop. Gas mines and a Tesla tower are my go to for squids, and gas mines and napalm barrage for bugs. They are better used in conjunction with another strategem, Tesla tower in particular.

If Joel didn't want us to rape the jet brigade, why even make it an option? Why didn't he just go "Merak is our only entry point cause the defense is too heavy on Aurora Bay". In fact, why doesn't he just let us destroy the factory and then magically conjure another factory out of his ass?

Because players are tired of the MO's getting railroaded by Joel for the sake of dragging out content releases. It's very clear he wants to tell a particular story and will sodomize GW participants to do so. In this particular case he wants us to mirror the squid's assault on super earth and how they glassed planets before reaching it. And since we aren't doing things his way we get punished. It is very much an us vs him mindset and it shows.

>>556487257
I save then for drops. Squiggers get a mine field plus tesla tower underneath the drop zone, and then I wait to pyrotech grenades the Harvester. Tesla tower is great with mines because everything ignores you and bee lines directly into the minefield and the Tesla Tower finishes them off while they are wandering around gassed.
