SPECULATION: Alien race enters the edge of the map in a few months. This new race wins every planetary war and makes a direct line to earth over the course of several weeks or months. There is a month long war on Mars. The humans lose. A $40 expansion pack is introduced and this time next year there is a "battle for the survival of the human race" on planet Earth in the center of the galaxy map.
In order to do the fighting on earth... you will have to buy the $40 expansion pack. You'll be able to fight other places with the base game. However, the most crucial fighting ... for the future of human existence ... will require $40. LOL
Wow Jimmy. Assuming the worst of the devs with absolutely no merit at all. And why wouldn't they charge for an expansion pack? Destiny did it for years and successfully so.
Where do I say this is bad? I look forward to more content. I want to see New YOrk, Paris and Tokyo get "Blowed Up Real Good".
The game is a great deal for $40. Based upon Arrowhead's previous actions I project they'll give consumers $40 worth of content if they charge $40 for an expansion next year.
Arrowhead does not even have merchandise for the Helldivers franchise. So they are not trying to drain every dime for the pockets of its biggest fans. It'll be interesting to see how much longer places like Redbubble will continue to sell Helldivers Merch.
Two days left to complete 8 "Defend Campaigns" and only 5 are complete. The selfish XP Farmers are thinking of their own petty atomic individual self interests rather than fighting for managed democracy, liberty and freedom!
Level 14 now. Yesterday first successfull mission on 6 - Extreme. Loadout(mostly): Redeemer, Breaker, Autocannon Autocannon/ Guard Dog, Eagle Napalm, Orbital EMS, Orbital Strike/ 120 Barrage Just playing what is fun, no min-maxing, no tierlist, no "you have to play THIS build 1000000000x DMG"
Some people are whining because Arrowhead deleted Steam posts requesting Arrowhead should never permit purchasable rainbow flags in the cosmetic items shop. LOL. Other people are complaining that Steam posts requesting rainbow flags in the cosmetic items shop are being deleted by Arrowhead.
Tellin' ya, you can't make this stuff up!
These people do not realize that in 2084 we're living in a perfect utopian society. I asked a Ministry of Truth Information Agent and he said we always lived in a perfect utopian society.
Too bad there is no PvP in this game. We could have each side in this debate go at in on Malevalon Creek as teh Automatons take over the entire damn planet!
Anyone else thinking about how much Blizzard must be kicking themselves for never making a game like this set in the SC universe? It's a perfect fit (both Helldivers and SC take a ton of inspiration from Starship Troopers anyway). Besides SC Ghost (which was a single player game although they seemed to be adding on a halo-like multiplayer mode before cancelling IIRC) they apparently had a Battlefield-like Starcraft FPS game in development around 2018-2019 before getting shut down to go all-hands on deck for Diablo (around the time of mass talent exodus in the studio).
I love Helldivers 2 right now and of course I would still prefer an actual RTS starcraft to a shooter starcraft. But still, imagine a world where we got multiple types of SC games post SC2 instead of zero
Yeah... StarCraft 2 ending was so fucking stupid that not even Blizzard can undo the cluster**** that it created. Let's not get into what Diablo has become since the disbanding of Diablo North that was actually working on Diablo 3 when everyone was fired, or let go. Everyone at Blizzard North have vowed to never return, ever. It's what happens when MBA's become heads and not artists and those that actually play the games etc.

thanks for the laughs guys. You people sound like old men yelling at 12 year olds whose basketball bounced on to your front lawn. Diablo 3 sold 12 million copies in its first year and went on to become one of the top 10 sold games of all time within 3 years with over 30 million copies sold. Diablo3 was incredibly awesome for the Nintendo Switch.
Diablo 3 was a great game. Now, I do not like the genre. I don't like Diablo1,2,3, or 4. However, long term engagement is objective proof of quality. Blizzard the developer, and Activision the publisher did a great job.
Check this out! Someone raised more than $2.3 million USD on a Kickstarter campaign so they could 3D Print a small Helldivers statue! As we know 3D printing is really expensive... as is ocean front property in Huntington Beach California.
btw, Helldivers employee "Joel" was seen lurking about a grassy knoll on November 22, 1963. Coincidence? I think not!

Seems like once a night, I log into PS5 and decide to spread American values and democracy. Only to either lag out or get kicked by some neck beard. This is how democracy dies people. This is how.

Spread American values by playing Helldivers2 on Steam... a great American service owned by a great American billionaire! Steam never has lag and no one gets kicked unless they are supposed to get kicked. Also, do not drink Bud Light or eat Doritos while playing Helldivers2. These socialist products are subversive tools that the Godless Communists use to wreck the health of freedom loving Americans.
I'm going to be a worse player, unfortunately, I probably deserve to be.
People leaning on the Breaker and Railgun so much need to look at themselves in the mirror and admit to themselves that they are not good FPS players.... we need a confession booth or something

Everyone was using the same BiS loadout (Breaker, Railgun, Personal shield). That's why they nerfed it.
Lol the comment from the designer at using Barrages. The only thing Barrages killed effectively was yourself and your team while all the bugs were left laughing their asses off
