Front Changes
Helldivers are one step closer to completing Operation Swift Disassembly (Phase IV) with the liberation of Maia. All Helldivers are diverting to Tibit.
We have failed the Defence Campaign on Estanu, cutting off access to Fori Prime. It is a small price to pay during Operation Swift Disassembly. The fascist Terminids have established a foot hold on Estanu as a result.

It’s only slightly amusing how none of these matter when one realizes there’s a guy behind curtain playing pachinko with these stats. 🤷🏼♂️🤫
This particular Game Master does not show the dice being rolled. Joel is a puffinforest type game master where things will rapidly swing between cake walk and total party kill.
I mean, you can say that all day, but it might as well be an algorithm — and it would be if the acronym didn’t have marketability these days…

That tracks. 🤷🏼♂️ Good thing it’s not the San-Ti, right?
If you played the first game you’d find this refreshing. In the first one the galactic war was automated, worked exactly as you’d think, and there were not special events on the same level as the handcrafted ones in this game.
You just beat sector after sector, and then the bugs always got cleared first so you’d be forced to fight the other races only for a long time until the war finished, it was a neat concept but was not nearly as interesting, and after a dozen hours there was simply nothing else to it.
I’ll take artificial roleplaying and special events over that anyway.
You know? Thanks. For being a decent human about it. I genuinely appreciate the content and intent of your reply, especially since it sheds some light on how this sequel is an improvement. Thank you. 🤘🏽
I can understand your viewpoint too. If you’re coming into it looking for the community to band together to accomplish tasks together, then it is too obfuscated and vague to really know what your impact is, and maybe that’s part of the point of the whole destruction of the worth of a soldier that the game inherits from its Starship Troopers influence (or at least is conveniently explained away by).
At the same time if you look at the galactic war as a fun way to occasionally attach some meta roleplaying, rotate the biomes of planets around and give the community some free medals, then it’s a nice way to do it. And it allows them to tack on content updates in a contextualized way within the game lore like they have been with the flying enemies, new stratagems, etc.
