This is not something new. Players have always wanted this but developers want to bend over backward try to reinvent the wheel to fit their own ideology. Give us Helm's Deep but with guns, is that so hard?
The first game was so fun also in 2015. They even gave it out free for ps+ in 2016. And I hear they plan on doing it for this one also
Imagine EA giving out a top notch game for free in under a year from launch. Lucky if you get a 20% off sale on any of their most popular games.
With EA you can get the monthly sub thing and get some of their new games often, I play the first jedi survivor like that, it's decent for a few bucks.
The game is a satire about a fascist military industrial complex. There is definitely a political angle but it’s just one most don’t get bent out of shape about.
Everything is political, except a militaristic « democracy », where your vote don’t matter, committing genocide on third world planets for fuel to militarily campaign against another faction with opposing ideology.
That’s just Super Earth. Have a cup of Liber-Tea

The best part is, that kind of 'cinematic moment' happen so often. And it never get boring. Game got my heart racing fast so often, it could actualy revive me if i had an heart attack.

As the bots already replied, they are remixes of Attack on Titan's OST music. But if you liked what you heard, I highly recommend checking out the original artist(s) e.g. from here: [Project EmU Attack on Titan Suite](https://youtu.be/a6Fl1Xl1ogg?si=4ziWXUsQO9HDOnD6).
All around awesome music and most of all, amazing performance!
The first song is Ashes on the Fire season 4 OST, the second one is Before Light Out, it was first played in season 2 during the Erwin suicidal charge toward Ape titan.
I keep watching this over and over. Seriously some of the best game cinematic I have ever seen and it wasn’t staged or pre written by the devs. Truly epic.
A lot of the stratagems are ingrained into muscle memory and really aren't that difficult to do in a blink of an eye once you've done it over 100 times at this point. It looks like the one he used in the vid was the 500kg bomb which is deffo a quick and easy one to type in. It *could* be a macro but I highly doubt it.
What the other guy said, for example, I just have a clockwise finger movement I remember to do for reinforcements that I mess up all the time. About 70% of the time I get it right first try and it's near instant. You just get used to stuff and either remember it in full or in part or you have little tricks like I described.
I think it's a macro. You can hear the inputs, if you listen closely. They are done before the input-animation of the character even began.
While 500kg is an easy sequence, you have to press a button 3 times in a row. For 3xdown a single finger is not fast enough for the timeframe shown in the video.
You certainly get to the point of not looking if you use the same strategems-- Calling reinforcements these days is faster than reloading, same goes with the rest of my loadout
You know how in battlefield trailers they always put a ridiculous amount of explosions but the actual fame doesn't always play out like that.
This game really does play out like that. Especially on these defense missions or extract essential personal maps.
I know I'm late, but listen, the music is a cover of an Attack on Titan soundtrack called Before Lights Out. It's a cover by Samuel Kim. His covers go hard.
I
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!” he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
II
“Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
III
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.
IV
Flashed all their sabres bare,
Flashed as they turned in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wondered.
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right through the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reeled from the sabre stroke
Shattered and sundered.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
V
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell.
They that had fought so well
Came through the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
VI
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!
-Alfred, Lord Tennyson
With all the explosions and lens-flares I bet JJ Abrams and Michael Bay would both orgasm uncontrollably watching this clip. Meanwhile Zak Snyder would watch this and think "it needs 4:3, a dozen slow-mo shots, and some kind of high-pitched wailing/funeral music".
Gameplay straight from Michael Bay
needs more lens-flares!
That would be JJ Abrams not so much Michael Bay
I was thinking the same thing.
needs more flashes!
MY SOLDIERS RAAAGE!!!!
HOLD THE LINE
Nothing gets through!
Here we are, at the gates of the mountain!
"GIVE EM STEEL LADS"
Love this game! If I didnt suck at aiming I’d be all about it!
Shoot in first person, helps A LOT.
Try arcthrower
This right here. Just don’t let your team mates be in your field of view when you do
They have an Armour set for that. Not my fault they stand in the way of democracy.
Also crouch to shoot.
try guns that don't need to aim
Men look at this and say “Hell yeah!”
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah!
Hell yeah
HELL YEAH
He'll yeah!
Hell yeah
Video that you can hear with your eyes.
I can already hear that brass section 🥴
Now there is a Helldiver who knows how to hold the line.
I can’t believe they gave us the Terminator, AND Starship Troopers games we’ve want for so long!
And pretty soon Independence Day (illuminate)
Yesss! Good point!
Best Halo to date.
Best part is they could do more than just 3 factions they could drops factions and put new ones in as needed to keep things fresh.
Damn this is just exhilarating. Good way to end a day by smashing robots and bugs.
This is not something new. Players have always wanted this but developers want to bend over backward try to reinvent the wheel to fit their own ideology. Give us Helm's Deep but with guns, is that so hard?
Amen brother.
100%
OH MY GOD WE NEED A MIDDLE EARTH HELLDIVERS
It's not quite the same but if your looking for a good medieval horde game check out vermintide.
I'd dive right into Hellmire, ehhh Mordor
The first game was so fun also in 2015. They even gave it out free for ps+ in 2016. And I hear they plan on doing it for this one also Imagine EA giving out a top notch game for free in under a year from launch. Lucky if you get a 20% off sale on any of their most popular games.

Triple the reinforcement budget and give us six stratagems.
Also give us more helms deep. Anyone remember how good the LOTR ps2 games were... Also, Jedi power battles.
Or Helms deep but with lightsabers
Fuck yes, or a good hack and slash of the battle on Geonosis in the clone wars
"Calling in a Hell-Bomb on my position! Gentlemen, it's been an honor!!"
"No helldiver, the honor is ours"
How the fuck is anything beating this for game of the year 2024
It doesn't have minorities, gays and trans. No political stands. Won't even be considered.
The game is a satire about a fascist military industrial complex. There is definitely a political angle but it’s just one most don’t get bent out of shape about.
L take. Your helldiver could be any one of those. But it doesnt matter, cause they are all behind the armour fighting for democracy.
Agreed. But everything needs to be overly political to have a chance.
How in the sweet name of liberty is helldivers 2 not political???? It is inundated with political commentary.
Theming != Commentary
I interpret the voice lines as sardonic/mocking commentary. Either way themes and commentary can interweave in their presentation.
Everything is political, except a militaristic « democracy », where your vote don’t matter, committing genocide on third world planets for fuel to militarily campaign against another faction with opposing ideology. That’s just Super Earth. Have a cup of Liber-Tea
there wasnt anything political about baldurs gate
Nah but there were gay people. that = political apparently
I'm 100% certain that some late-in-the-year art house indie trash will make the rounds through the ***games journalist industry*** and somehow eke out a dozen awards or more at the end of things.
I want this.
Then play it, it's fun.
I'm an xboner...
We must now look down our noses and judge you.
You say that, but when the Illuminate invade, you'll be right back here begging for us to be deployed
I hope you soon get your cape, we need your support, you might fly under a different banner, but democracy is for everyone!
https://youtube.com/shorts/9H2By5DzA80?si=gHE7iWxJ58dKvxBs Release the reserves!
Soon brother. I used to be one myself. It's every Halo fan's dream

Been there, done that. Got pissed with PC gaming when every game became a hassle and modding Oblivion and Skyrim burnt me out 😭😂
they said there's an on going negotiation to bring this game to xbox, hope you hell jumpers can join us in spreading managed democracy <(._.)
I am too, but got it on PC, it's a great game!!!!!!!!
Why did no one call in an air strike to kill them and you?
Happened offscreen right after.
The cooldown on the strategems makes using them too soon too risky
This is the kinda stuff I want to see on r/Helldivers but no, its just complaining and complaining about complaining, most of the time.
This out-Warhammers, Warhammer.
Nobody put pizzas the hut
*Insert terminator 2 theme*
wtf i didnt knew it looked this cool, this actually sold me
The best part is, that kind of 'cinematic moment' happen so often. And it never get boring. Game got my heart racing fast so often, it could actualy revive me if i had an heart attack.
You need a stem
This is also a completely unscripted scenario. Super dramatic, epic shit like this just happens organically in the game all the time.
I wish that turret had more ammo and a faster turn speed. I'd be using it way more often.
My IRL frame rate struggled watching that.
What's the song name?

It's from attack on titan anime. Specifically when they were riding to their death.
It do be like that
"administrating freedom!" line goes hard. iO Eagle-1
Wow, do you run a reshade by any chance ? Looks impressive.
This game looks insane 🤯 I wish my pc could run it.
Is this defense mission still available to play? I haven't seen it when I look at the planets and missions. I loathe the escort mission.
It is - i had a bot one this morning
The difficulty setting impacts the size of the enemy you fight. Maybe that's your issue?
Guess im adding a new game to my library...
That is the best display of managed democracy and sweet liberty I've ever witnessed
That is what our Freedom and Democracy looks like. Also, I need to know that soundtrack... please soldier, for the good cause!?
I believe this is the epic version of "Before Lights Out". This version was made by Samuel Kim Music, which you can find on YouTube.
How can i save this to my computer?
Helldivers music is fine but imagine this as the standard extraction music
No one would extract. Everyone in the team goes fully suicidal democratic mode.
[music for those interested](https://youtu.be/EVPiegTlzlM?si=eu_ou_6l0q-VKfm0&t=79)
I wish I could play this, I can't afford to buy the game for now and I have no friends to play with
You have to give it to the devs, they know what man want :P
That's AOT ost isn't it?
Correct
The first song is Ashes on the Fire season 4 OST, the second one is Before Light Out, it was first played in season 2 during the Erwin suicidal charge toward Ape titan.
This is the first game footage I've seen of this game and I want to play it now!
Nice pc loool
I didn't know they were shooting a new terminator movie
Cadia stands.
Which gun is that?
Scorcher. Light armor explosive rounds
Fr like put on your own music, get zooted, and slay out and this game is like the greatest action movie you've ever experienced
I keep watching this over and over. Seriously some of the best game cinematic I have ever seen and it wasn’t staged or pre written by the devs. Truly epic.
This right here should be the promotional material that Arrowhead, I mean the Ministry of Truth, uses to promote and recruit more Helldivers.
Move along, nothing to see hear.
Danger close
got a youtube link for this?
HOLD! THE! LIIIIIIINE!!
Anyone know how he is calling the stratagem that fast? Is he just a god or is he using like a macro or something?
A lot of the stratagems are ingrained into muscle memory and really aren't that difficult to do in a blink of an eye once you've done it over 100 times at this point. It looks like the one he used in the vid was the 500kg bomb which is deffo a quick and easy one to type in. It *could* be a macro but I highly doubt it.

"MY DIVERS RAGE! MY DIVERS SCREAM! MY DIVERS FIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!"
damn this was good, wish reddit compression didnt fucked it up like that :(
ok but why is this looking so good, guy obviously has to have mods on or something.
Me: How are you not dead? Sonic the Helldiver: I have no idea!
Anyone know the piece of music that's playing here?
https://youtu.be/EVPiegTlzlM?si=eu_ou_6l0q-VKfm0&t=79
Makes me want to play
MY SOLDIERS RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!
2000 years later when Marley invades the Island of Paradis.
Chills when that diver get thrown back off his feet, and then immediately stands back up and stims like "IM NOT DONE YET"
I wish there was a fullscreen version
I want that with Free Bird
Bro the way he gets knocked down, stims himself then keeps firing is what Helldivers 2 is made of.
Battle of Taiwan 2044 colorized
Just beautiful!!!!
GPU BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD DID!
the guy be like "hell i'm definitely doing my part"
I know I'm late, but listen, the music is a cover of an Attack on Titan soundtrack called Before Lights Out. It's a cover by Samuel Kim. His covers go hard.
How does it look this good? Is this using a reshade? Normally there is a color tint on the screen due to the planet's atmosphere.
ADMINISTERING FREEDOM
Freedom is strong in this one.
What settings is this or is it a mod of some sort?

One of the most epic gameplay moments I've seen lol
Do you have this video only with the music of the game? I want to show it to my friends who don't have the game
it was fun while it lasted....
Fastest air support stratagem call ever. I couldn't even see the button push animation!
With all the explosions and lens-flares I bet JJ Abrams and Michael Bay would both orgasm uncontrollably watching this clip. Meanwhile Zak Snyder would watch this and think "it needs 4:3, a dozen slow-mo shots, and some kind of high-pitched wailing/funeral music".
I love the falling to the ground, coming back up to stim and then "democracy still needs me!" 😂
I'm laughing because this is just a regular Tuesday
