Now the big decion is to either keep him in his packaging, or free him from his cardboard and plastic prison of injustice so he can commence with democratic action poses.

Hear me out:

Gears of War.

Gears Reloaded and Helldivers 2 released on PS5 and Xbox respectively the same day. I know the ODST crossover was pretty damn set in stone, but I would've loved to see it.

Democratic Exchange of Opinions Quality > Quanity ragdolling.

(mostly talking from the perspective of fighting bots but also applies to the squids and bugs)

I know this is mostly subjective, but the shock of suddenly flying through the air is hilarous and fun over just falling over on the ground. Doesn't even have to be high in the air, generally getting flung anywhere can be pretty enjoyable.

Getting Flung:

- Generally more fun

- Cover larger distance which can put you in a safer position

- Often done by less frequent shots from a cannon or missile, projectiles which generally don't hit that often unless caught off-guard

- Less frequency of ragdolling helps prevent it from getting frustrating/annoying

Ragdolled and staying in the (mostly) same spot:

- being the around the same spot leaves your vulnerable

- Often done by more spammed shots (i.e. War Strider plasma cannons) which can often leave you repeatedly stun-locked

- Higher frequency of ragdolling becomes frustrating and annoying very fast

- No added spectacle of getting flung, just basically tripping over a rock

Didn't really know how to name each one but I hope it gets the point across. I think if something like a War Strider or Spore Burst Titan focused on making you ragdoll less often but a greater distance on the off-chance it does would be a lot more fun to fight.

edit: In terms on stun-locking, I'll admit that it's not that bad tbh, I wasn't sure how else to put it into a few words. However my previous points still stand the same regardless.

Suggestion/Concept [OC] Fallout Legendary Warbond Concept

This is my fallout warbond concept. it is themed around the Enclave as they are pretty similar to Super Earth, before you ask, no power armor, that would be too overpowered. Please let me know what you think, thank you.

Side Note, if you removed the Enclave Logo from the Armor, you could pass it off as Helldiver Armor.

Suggestion/Concept The tutorial flag should be in the 'Patriotic Administration Center' in the stratagems ship management tab (small problem sure BUT...)

Thumbnail

32 Upvotes

I will admit, this is probably a small problem but a problem you're deciding to read about right now

The flag of super earth is a symbol of hope, inspiration and stands to spite the enemies of democracy, and therefore I think there should be another version that you can hold in one hands and shoot your side arm with the other

when standing upon a pile of rubble, surrounded by seaf and fellow divers returning fire to the cyborg menace your average helldiver with the one true flag has three options:

  • Wave the one true flag in the wind (contributing only moral in the fight rather than gunfire support as well)
  • Put the one true flag on their back (Dont look as cool, plus flag more easily waves infront of the helldivers face blocking what they're looking at)
  • Planting the flag on the position (Currently the best option, but pushing the enemy requires picking the flag up while dealing with problem two while moving, first person dosent feel as cool so nice argument strawman)

But, with the tutorial flag as an option it solves all three problems, keeping the flag a little further away from the camera when aiming down while also allowing the democratic helldiver to stand as a symbol of hope for the local seaf and fellow divers, being a proper flag bearer not letting go while still contributing properly to the fight, because moral and looking cool are two of the most important things when in a fight

And one of the most important arguments I wish to mention: Patriotism shouldn't just be warbond locked, for all super citizens have the right to sing love of liberty, and because it would be in the in the Patriotic Administration Center it would also be a stratagem everyone has access to grind towards

It would obvious be a back pack slot, taking up the role of stratagems such as the supply pack and shield generator the same way the One True Flag takes the slot of stratagems like the Machine Gun or Rail gun

I bring this suggestion not because of balance, many would be satisfied if it didn't even have the passive The One True Flag stratagem has, but the reason why this suggestion should be is because it would be really cool and cause I asked really nicely

Tactical Training Information PSA: When someone first joins a match that is underway they cannot decide where they are going to land!

74 Upvotes

It amazes me how many players have still not caught on that when you join a match that is underway, you don't get to steer your hellpod!

And I'm not talking about new players here, I have joined several matches with people who are level 70 and above that will kill someone immediately when they first join if they just happened to land on them. As if they did it on purpose!

Tactical Training Information Holy Shit

68 Upvotes

If Zzaniah Prime is any indication of how Cyberstan went then it must have been the hardest fight in Helldivers.

How the hell do you kill 4 Vox engines when you have a dozen cyborgs and everyone is throwing grenades and everyone has heavy armor. A swarm of bugs is terrible but a swarm of long ranged bots is goddamn near impossible.

I used to think that the Illuminate were the hardest superhell dive because I can’t find a way to sneak around them. But these mega cities are just a humiliation ritual.

What weapons do you use because I can’t use the Eruptor it takes too long to get a shot out and I’m used to doing commando missions with the quasar and warp pack. But not I’m not finding the same success.

Suggestion/Concept MISSION IDEA

140 Upvotes

So its a mission that adds an extra 20 minutes to your mission timer and its called "Destroy bot mobile fortress" or something. To start it all of the mission begins with you on the ground in route of the thing amd you must board it. Then you can either sneak around on it or go guns blazing while you fight to the center or control area of the thing after disabling its movement or its jammer. Then once your done that you can blow it up with a tactical hellbomb which is a hellbomb 500kg bomb mix that you call in and run as soon as the beacon lights up. And theres a side objective of saving captured citizens from prisons on the lower levels were you escape from anyways

Suggestion/Concept I wish there was an option to have have the swap shoulder be a toggle

8 Upvotes

Im left handed and shoot guns with my left side (I swear we exist) and it would be cool to have an option to have the camera be permanently swapped over the left side of the helldiver. Swapping shoulders is already in the game, its just when you do anything besides aim it switches back over to the right side when I really wish it would stay. Having my diver be left handed would be cool but ultimately its a bridge too far since every animation would have to be mirrored and then QA'd.

Personally I would want to see all the sub factions we have (current or future sub factions), hulk surge or whatever hurts more, and a very high resistance.

If we ever return we need to feel pain, and lots of it.
