I didn’t even know they existed outside of the tutorial, I stumbled upon one on LVL 2 and solo’d it - I can only imagine how stupidly chaotic and fun it’d be to do one with a full group on the higher difficulties.
I think it’s because of what the mission is supposed to represent. The flag raising is filmed by a drone because it’s propaganda. It’s supposed to show the Helldivers conquering land deftly and confidently in their shiny badass armor, bristling with guns at the ready.
Filming a flag raising on a helldive mission as enormous swaths of enemies kill and throw the Helldivers around like basketballs is not something you wanna show as confident, powerful propaganda, so it doesn’t logically make sense.
… touché
as a side mission maybe, but only if they speed the raising up by a good 20%.
But then you wouldn’t be able to listen to Super Earth’s glorious anthem!
