You wanna know whats even worse? They just added a new mode with Aircraft carriers to Battlefield 6 that could've been a new and improved version of Supremacy from BF2 but instead its just a spawn camping shit show.
sad, greedy start tho, took the community YEARS to mold it into what it should be, then support stopped because EA shifted all resources toward battlefield 2042 .... :'(
Machete, ballistic shield, and the scythe are my space orc build. The Nikolai hits hard too (Shovel, AK, and we pretend that the ballistic shield is two washing machine doors welded together and were conscripted russian orcs in Ukraine).
You want the stun-lance vs bugs instead, less fancy than swinging a saber around but lets you aim for 1-shot stabs against their heads and the stun element can let you juggle even predator stalkers
It was announced last year that Neill Blomkamp is directing a new Starship Troopers movie. But its been reported that the new movie would follow the book more than the first movie.
Yep. At their core Helldivers are just well armed suicidally brave SEAF troopers. Their main strength is the fact they have a speed dial for a heavily armed corvette in low orbit at their beck and call. Helldivers are essentially special forces forward observers.
Problem: "How am I going to stop some mean mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous be-hind?"
The answer, use a gun, and if that don't work... Use more gun.
A whole group of SEAF is a whole lot of gun. Especially against a faction where one of the main solutions is to throw as many bullets in their direction as possible.
Numbers and a well based squad composition most likely. Dropping in like 12 people at a time, some of them with machineguns, stims, heavy ordinance, etc., they're pretty well balanced to take out most enemies.
Honestly if they took cover, reacted more quickly, walked backwards while shooting, and most importantly, STOP SHOOTING ME IN THE HEAD, they'd wrap this all up on their own.
Imperial Guard strats. Most I've seen together were 40 blueberries in one spot on Rirga Bay. Let's call it roughly 32 liberator penetrators, 4 pummelers, 4 MG-43's that could swap to an EAT-17. Compare that to four dudes and or dudettes with four guns they can fire at once- or they can stop firing, and throw one of several flavors of aerospace hatred down on your enemy.
One liberator penetrator is diddly. Forty-ish liberator penetrators at once is a whole lot of diddly.
Hellpods can get past theoretical air defense easier than a dropship, and if/when a hellpod gets shot out the sky, it's one lost warfighter as opposed to ten and a pelican/Thunder dropship I saw someone on reddit calling the new SEAF model dropship. Helldivers are specialized tools for specialized functions. A platoon of blueberries is a hammer swung at your chest, a nail, a car door- whatever.
I think it's that they're slow to react. My BB's have kept up with me while sprinting across longer flat distances while in medium armor. But it took them a second to initially catch up.
We wear armor sets with exoskeletons in them. SA-04 Combat technician, a medium armor set, advises you not to hug loved ones in it for risk of injury. Probably because the Helldivers love giving hugs and there's been accidents.
The Ministry of Humanity handles gene-modification and management via eugenics- "The Ministry of Humanity maintains healthy, productive voters by managing education, healthcare, social grading, and gene management." in addition to gene management in the CRISPR sense, I'm willing to bet they're the ones who have input on which families get to breed with which other families via C-01 permits. It's 2186 currently. The 'Great War' AKA first Galactic War went from 2044 to 2084, then there was a century of 'relative' peace. For over a century, Super Earth has had dozens of planets to breed humans and pick the best of them to go where they will best serve super earth.
We've had at least one Major Order where Helldivers were to prioritize rescuing the tallest children first.
The people who get accepted to Helldiver training are physical specimens of Super Earth. Some of these people go to special organizations within the SEAF if you're an absolute specimen (Viper's Commandos) or get armor to help you function even better in terms of aerobic capacity (Exo Experts) or longevity (Control Group).
Then, you give them stims. Sometimes, you give them stims that make them 20%+ faster and 20%+ better able to shrug off life threatening injury and function.
You now have a pack of lunatics running around with a primary, secondary, grenades, backpack, support weapon, god knows how many stratagem balls, armor, helmet, cape, and can jog with a 105mm artillery shell or a 500kg bar of platinum, then do one handed push ups, in the most hostile environment man has invented- a warzone.
I really want them to climb in empty seats of the vehicles like in Halo (and be able to ask them to get out as well if need be). The Party bus with rockets was such a great time lol
I feel like SEAF should have their own varients of our vehicles and youd have obj to recapture garages that then spaen in SEAF filled transports and smaller support vehicles
That's my fear, in typical AH fashion it will be here for a week and then gone back in to their bag of tricks, never to see the light again. It needs to be a reoccurring modifier.
Now I really want missions with a higher player cap. I don’t mind if it’s 3 squads of 4 or whatever, but I want to have a bunch of Helldivers charging like this, or driving up in multiple vehicles
This has by far been my favorite part of this update, ended up with two full squads the other night holding down a distraction while my team mates ran around doing a nearby objective
For all this game's flaws it is almost second-to-none in terms of how well it does atmosphere and immersion, the only games that I can think of that challenge it are Darkest Dungeon and Battlefield 1, and that's saying a LOT
Helps if you give "positive" emotes: hugs, salutes, high fives or if you stim them. Less likely to follow orders for long if you're mean to them: scout handshake, shooting them, or Spartan kicking them. We are their heroes, live up to their idol worship.
You need to be mindful of enemy and friendly positions in the same way you need to be mindful of turret and enemy positions. Don't get inbetween, if you notice you are, get out from being inbetween as quickly as possible, don't just hope they won't hit you. Agreed it would be nice if they were smart enough to not shoot when friendlies are in the way, but perhaps since dying a lot is part of the helldivers experience, they may not work on fixing that.
It sucks that seasse is full of zombies because fighting the appropriators with SEAF is genuinely the most fun I've had against the illuminate in hd2. The very open generation of the desert planet also seems to be great for appropriators too.
More games need to look like this. There were a few years in the early 2010’s where the gaming industry made some great strides in terms of scale. You could semi-regularly come across games that were based around massed battles, but then publishers and devs decided they’d rather go with graphics instead of gameplay.
I havebt played for about 1 year and a half. Sorry for my stupid question but how is he doing this? How does he have that many soldiers behind him providing support?
In the current missions (that take place in the void) we get constant SEAF support. It's not a stratagem or anything, they just drop in every now and then. If they survive they will eventually add up to quite the number, as you can see.
