I guess you can find almost everything you can imagine and want in the game in terms of landscapes and climate zones. While they fight in the 'old' uniforms from HELLDIVERS 1, we do so in our Power Armor Suits described above. Instead of fighting behind enemy lines, we would fight alongside regular forces to support them on the battlefield in a crucial offensive. Which means that you can only order the Airdrops which are delivered by Hell(drill)pod.Īnd maybe with the help of Hell(drill)pod it is possible to choose the drop point but you still have to find your way through the cave maze to get to the pick up point. The special thing about this type of mission would be that you fight in narrow corridors and underground. What I could imagine, for example, would be a mission type where you have to go into a bug nest to recover something, kill or catch a 'special bug' or or or or. And I had to experience it again and again that I had to explain the same basics over and over again to the fresh meat, who didn't know much more than from which end of the weapon the bullets come out.īesides, it would be nice if we all had more to laugh about, wouldn't it? I have now already played a bunch of games with Helldivers who had only recently completed their basic training. This would make it easier for Newbis in particular to enter the game. On the one hand you could put more of the humor / story described above and on the other hand they would serve as an extended tutorial. After all, there is always that one player who wants to go on and doesn't want to read, see or hear something story relevant.Īnyway, this leads me to the next point. Maybe this is the only kind of humor you can experience in a coop game. The humor you experience most in the game are the fanatical comments from the Helldivers and the (involuntary) slapstick humor. The only problem is that there is far too little of it in the game. This mixture of bitter satire and (hidden) social criticism is exactly my humor. And that even though I am a total reading grouch. I remember very well how much I enjoyed reading the texts in the game. Yes, you read it right! I'd like to have more satire in the game. How much of it will be left if you start directly as a highly equipped and armoured combat machine?Īnd the most important and significant question of all is of course: Can we still wear our capes then? How well can the feeling of wearing such an Armor Suit be transferred to a Top-Down Shooter? How exactly do the 'arms' work? Fully automatic? And if not, how does their control work? - After all, the developers must be able to map this in a way that is accessible to both GamePad and mouse & keyboard control.Īnd doesn't a part of the 'identity' of HELLDIVERS result from the fact that the Helldivers are portrayed as elitist heroes by the propaganda, but in reality they are used like cannon fodder? To feel like cannon fodder and to laugh about failure is also part of the charm of HELLDIVERS. But there are also some questions / problems. And if we could then equip these suits, including the 'arms', ourselves? How about if we could bring freedom to all the peoples of the galaxy with such suits like the one in the linked video #1? And instead of just putting our alter ego a different weapon in his hand we could give him his own suit. Well that's exactly what this thread is for. There is also the question what exactly we want or expect from a HELLDIVERS 2. Like you, I am also eager to serve Super Earth with even better tools of liberation and in new ways to protect it even better from the enemies of controlled democracy and freedom.īut apart from the question if you can even top HELLDIVERS 1 or if it is so good in itself that you can't add anything essential to it anyway.

Greetings to my battle-hardened veterans and comrades of the honorable Helldivers Corps.
