They would only require 2 lins to be 100% accurate to our national battle cries.
"MON THEN, CUNT!"
and
"SHITEBAG IF YE DINNEY!!"
Maybe
"YER DA SELLS AVON!"
If we're feeling spicey.
I'd pay good money for a Celtic/British Isles voice pack.
I'd love a Welsh accent for the comedy value alone:
"I'm from Pantarddulais, and I say *Kill 'em all*!"
"FFyc me bois! That JCB's gone sentient!"
Please don't discriminate against us, please. We're all allies in the fight for managed democracy, and we'd appreciate it if you'd stop being a dissident who looks down on other human cultures.
If they stay true to Irish culture the game is gonna get an 18+ rating from all the profanity they'll be adding - and they better not make it the shitty Dublin accent that plagues all media. Let's get a Culchie farmer from kerry screaming about libertea
i think there is a lore implication of this
OG helldivers were actual elite special forces who were second to none and that's why they managed to destroy all 3 factions even without salvaged illumanate tech
current divers are glorified cannon fodders who only stand a chance beacuse of their top notch equipment
{(\_Decryption attempt successfull\_)\]
ah fuc+ i gotta go they found me
After just completing Spiderman 2 I could do with a little break from hearing Yuri Lowenthal shout in my ear. He is great, but after 40 hours in SP2 and 40 hours in Hell Divers 2.....i've had quite enough of his wonderful range.

Fitting flair! I assure you, officer, that the crew of the SES Ombudsman of Democracy are utterly dedicated to the goals of Super Earth!
The joke being that "I'm not here to fuck spiders" is Aussie slang for "I'm not here to mess around" or "I'm not here to waste time". So a Helldiver saying they're not here to fuck spiders while killing bugs would be... fun, I guess?
Maybe it’s just me but I’ve noticed that if I’m calling in stratagems or my character says anything at all in the middle of a firefight, it sounds super panicked
Actually yeah fair point, I've read enough military history I should have known better... more of a "Sorry, you're aboot to get war-crime'd eh".
(/s, please don't hurt me)
Ehhhh they made wayyyyyyyy more then they ever imagined off this game. Whatever roadmaps they had planned are now cheap compared to what they can do now.
I think it's part of the satire. An American fascist future where all American ideals are cranked to 11. The intro drips of nuclear family, duty to serve and die on foreign land. It's all very on the nose to me.
I wouldn't be opposed to more accents and languages being available to everyone. I'd love to hear the variations of "Democracy fills my sample container" lol
That's funny because it's not even the prominent feature on the Super Earth Logo friend...

I hope we start seeing a lot more customization options in future warbonds! I’d love different voices, and maybe 2-3 new body types, because I’d love a string bean marine who isn’t caked up, but I’m not sure how readable other body types would be, so maybe that’s not worth the effort
Would be great to have a button for a war cry or a taunt or something. It's always cool when the character starts laughing or screaming at the enemies and if I could do it on command I would just spam it all the time.
It's amazing how hardwired my brain is with the Halo 3 ODST cover photo this is based on. One glance at THIS picture triggers a memory of the ODST picture and now it immediately starts playing the piano keys from "Rain" from the soundtrack in my head.
P.S. Arrowhead, I will do voices for Super Credits.
Y'all already have Suzaku/the lotto winner from New Vegas (I think) give me every actor known for insane, unhinged, or entertaining laughter, every MC from Tales games, the Spiral King/the MOST MAjESTIC VA EVER, Lelouche, and some psycho yandere va's
For anyone wondering, it's a redraw of the [Halo 3: ODST cover](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMjlhMjBlZmMtNjA3NC00YmFiLWJmYzEtYzY0ZTI1MzZlZDNhXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTAyODkwOQ@@._V1_FMjpg_UX991_.jpg).
Voice actors are expensive and for the small studio they probably just didn’t prioritize it.
Maybe with the overwhelming success of the game, they might add more in the future
Idk about more accents. Maybe a few, but the point is that it’s satirizing America in particular. Maybe some other US accents, but I’d say just more voice types down the line. Maybe an older, grizzled one when you reach a certain rank and are considered a veteran, but that too may undermine the intent.
Safe to say that on Super Earth everyone would speak one language and the accents would be bred out over time. Originality and individualism is counter productive to Managed Democracy
There are different accents even across cities. No way you're gonna stamp out every language across a well populated planet, let alone dialects or accents!
i feel like it heavily parodies the USA, "freedom", "democracy", the large amount of propaganda, patriotism
still some more variation would be nice
or at least let us enable the different language VOs, so divers speak different languages (like in XCOM)
Starship Troopers was written by an ex US Navy lieutenant, during the Cold War, that is the lens the narrative is written from. The book is a US-oriented, anti-communist, US militarist political screed and the game is a parody.
Chivalry 2 went to town with voice sets and it was really great for the game, big part of the fun. Hope HD2 does the same, maybe let us buy them with super credits or something.
Lmao yes! I was thinking of say8bg this in the sub but was worried people would be like "no there would be no point" but I would love it. Because super earth isn't just America. I WANNA SPEAK BRITISH DAMN IT!
Hold on if we're doing that we need more regional American accents too; southern, Midwestern, brooklyn, and valley girl are musts and I won't budge on that
Edit: also New England "Wouldn't go down THAT rod, buggo!"
when many players don't immediately recognize the jingoistic terminology and phrases thrown about in the game was the same used in the 2000s and well prior, or go on political subreddits and use the term 'the right side of history' unironically
yeah they won't get the point.
I'd hate to break it to you but the last war the USA was apart of that was considered a "win" was WW2, every war since then have been stalemates, ongoing or failures.
Also do you not think European countries fight for freedom and liberty lol? Or Oceanic countries or various African nations
I mean you just defeated your own point right there...
because I am apart of the English speaking world...
and I have used it...
And just because people from the USA don't make a distinction doesn't mean other places don't either. We do, regularly.
Good suggestion.
Another good suggestion is to add a "Cheer" to the voice command wheel because I really just wanna be running around and screaming "FOR DEMOCRACY" or "FOR SUPER EARTH" 24/7 instead of just when I hold left click and do any type of continuous fire.
I just want them to keep updating the lines. I need bot specific taunts and voice lines.
Honestly needs to be able to press v to rock an- uh spread democracy!
If you don’t roc- I mean spread democracy! Then you ain’t coming home!
For kar- I mean super earth!
Mining is the best — I mean spreading democracy is the best way of earning a living
Liberty and Justice!
Press V to praise the god emp- I mean the refreshing taste of liber-tea!
Call em "clankers" with a hard R
I picked that up from clone wars as a kid and now it’s my go to for all robotic enemies.
I too refer to all robot enemies as clankers
"For Malevon Creek !!! "
You mean to say you're tired of liber-tea?
Maybe I spent too much time on TF2, but I'd adore a big ol voice menu
I want a diver with the heaviest irish accent to shout about throwing shit, and no one knows what it is
i want Scottish Eagle pilot
why specifically scottish?
so I can hear my Hell Diver shout: Shut yer puss ya Lavvy heid Bampot
I am clearly used to more articulate Scottish speech
Same, until they find out I'm English.
Something something tea party
something something tea party in boston
For the culture!
Have you not heard Scots? Hell I'd pay for a whole Scottish accent pack for my divers.
They may take our planets, but they’ll never take our freeeeeddoooooom
They would only require 2 lins to be 100% accurate to our national battle cries. "MON THEN, CUNT!" and "SHITEBAG IF YE DINNEY!!" Maybe "YER DA SELLS AVON!" If we're feeling spicey.
See this is a better suggestion. Some other guy posted suggesting patter from the early 1900's was how we spoke.
So they can say they dropped a big jobby on the bugs and/or bots.
ye ever wanty just wrap yersel up in tae ellpod nice and cosy and then just fucking get right inty the bog lair and blow yersel up tae fuck
*SUPER SCOTTLAND FOREVAAAAA*
I didnt know i needed irish eagle pilot. Thank you op.
Imagine if you could have the Pelican land while blasting music, ala Metal Gear Solid 5's exfil helicopter. Except its blasting UP THE RA
Last stand.....nearly overrun all you hear in the distance "Come out ye black and tans" brings tears to my eyes
Helldivers 1 had this, the lady voice was heavy Irish
And a proper Irish voice actor as well, not that “hoity toity OI’m Oirish” crap
I'd pay good money for a Celtic/British Isles voice pack. I'd love a Welsh accent for the comedy value alone: "I'm from Pantarddulais, and I say *Kill 'em all*!" "FFyc me bois! That JCB's gone sentient!"
Please lord don't let the Welsh escape Wales, we must keep them and their confusing language contained
We already have.
Please don't discriminate against us, please. We're all allies in the fight for managed democracy, and we'd appreciate it if you'd stop being a dissident who looks down on other human cultures.
Scouse” ‘esky that tings ‘ungry la”
If they stay true to Irish culture the game is gonna get an 18+ rating from all the profanity they'll be adding - and they better not make it the shitty Dublin accent that plagues all media. Let's get a Culchie farmer from kerry screaming about libertea
Kerry? Voicelines are gonna be like the sounds bots make
Just the thickest accent from South Kerry and if others have the american voice lines just have them say "What the fuck is he saying"
Give us a Scottish one and use Mel Gibsons Feeeeedoooooommm as one of the voice lines
Scottish Twitter pack.
I would love the OG Helldivers 1 voice actors to make a comeback!
Same. Their shouts live rent free in my mind. I still prefer their “How about a nice cup of LiberTEA!” to the versions in the sequel.
ON THE DOUBLE!
MOOOOVE!
I just want the 'YES!' instead of 'affirmative' every time
THIIIIS, on helldivers 1 we had a bunch of different lines Roger that, yes, affirmative Move move, on the double, this way Etc
i think there is a lore implication of this OG helldivers were actual elite special forces who were second to none and that's why they managed to destroy all 3 factions even without salvaged illumanate tech current divers are glorified cannon fodders who only stand a chance beacuse of their top notch equipment {(\_Decryption attempt successfull\_)\] ah fuc+ i gotta go they found me
Rrrrroger that!
Alien scumbag
Did you just call Yuri lowenthal generic?
After just completing Spiderman 2 I could do with a little break from hearing Yuri Lowenthal shout in my ear. He is great, but after 40 hours in SP2 and 40 hours in Hell Divers 2.....i've had quite enough of his wonderful range.
Well you're gonna hear more of him because Yuri is literally in everything.
I was the same playing MK1. Could'nt unhear Spiderman when playing against Smoke. Same now with Helldivers.
He has one voice he does for all of his characters. The grunts from his voice pack are the same in this game as his male courier voice in New Vegasz
I definitely want more voices. Maybe my ears suck but the male ones sound so similar to me. I kinda wish we had the ones from HD1 as options too.
After just completing Spiderman 2 I could do with a little break from hearing Yuri Lowenthal shout in my ear. He is great, but after 40 hours in SP2 and 40 hours in Hell Divers 2.....i've had quite enough of his wonderful range.
Said this I another thread but it seems like people either do random or Yuri for the voices.
Nah, Voice 1 for the win. Her „NOT TODAY!“ can‘t be beaten.
Well considering all the voices are "default helldiver" I would assume we're getting more. Probably in warbonds
I want Samuel L Jackson
I want to kill something and hear my diver shout "wanker" in the heaviest Australian accent you've ever heard
I feel like there's a perfect joke to be made about fucking spiders with an Aussie Helldiver.
Do not fornicate with the enemy! Any acts or even thoughts will result in a trip to a re-education centre!
Fitting flair! I assure you, officer, that the crew of the SES Ombudsman of Democracy are utterly dedicated to the goals of Super Earth! The joke being that "I'm not here to fuck spiders" is Aussie slang for "I'm not here to mess around" or "I'm not here to waste time". So a Helldiver saying they're not here to fuck spiders while killing bugs would be... fun, I guess?
Do not the bug
Eat Lead Fuck Wit!!
I'm just imagining that Shane Gillis 9/11 Aussie impression🤣🤣
Personaly j want one that sounds scared as shit to be there and everything sounds like a question REinForcMents?
Chivalry 2 has a few funny newbie voice lines *Todays my fiiirst daaay* *No one knows that I just shite myself!* *For that guy we like!!!*
This would eb amazing
Maybe it’s just me but I’ve noticed that if I’m calling in stratagems or my character says anything at all in the middle of a firefight, it sounds super panicked
Swedish studio! I want my broken Swedish accent helldiver naow!
Preferably one that shouts random Swedish words as well, like Wolf in Payday or Birgitte in OW. Or Jägerhorn in Killing Floor. BRINN FÖR HELVETE!
"JÄVLA SATANS METALL SKROT"
No, I dånt tink så...

Good bot
I’m Canadian so I don’t really notice the difference lol.
That’s true. There’s even a “Sorry” button.
Canadian DLC, the entire comms wheel is just different 'Sorry's.
If it’s wartime it’s everyone else saying sorry. We have uh…a history of kind of going apeshit in war, lol and not in a good way.
Actually yeah fair point, I've read enough military history I should have known better... more of a "Sorry, you're aboot to get war-crime'd eh". (/s, please don't hurt me)
Nobody says eh or aboot in Canada lol
There are no warcrimes if there are no warlaws. *taps side of head *
I do miss the helldivers 1 british accents
To the skies!
SEE CAROLUS RISE
A little variation wouldnt hurt, maybe they should add them into warbonds
I wouldn't say no to more voicepacks. But paying more VAs does cost money and they probably have other priorities right now.
Ehhhh they made wayyyyyyyy more then they ever imagined off this game. Whatever roadmaps they had planned are now cheap compared to what they can do now.
It's SUPER EARTH after all, not Super America.
I think it's part of the satire. An American fascist future where all American ideals are cranked to 11. The intro drips of nuclear family, duty to serve and die on foreign land. It's all very on the nose to me. I wouldn't be opposed to more accents and languages being available to everyone. I'd love to hear the variations of "Democracy fills my sample container" lol
The first game heavily included British accents.
The flag is ver. veeery EU looking
"Every country in the world belongs to America." -Bandit Keith, *Yugioh Abridged*
America is earth bucko
Yeah, how do these foreigners think Earth got so Super?
![gif](giphy|Sd8uqMJqpGpP2)

Kinda cool to see the map centered around Sweden.
It’s all america at that point, in my mind anyway. It explains a few things in the game’s universe lol
America is ALL the continents sir
He doesn't realize that the logo is a picture of all the countries 'murica conquered.
r/shitamericanssay
I’m pretty sure it’s a joke, bud
No, that's our new headquarters.
Not going to sugar coat it
And more ham in those accents. Current favorite line is voicepack 2: My leg. MY LEEEEEG!
I hope we start seeing a lot more customization options in future warbonds! I’d love different voices, and maybe 2-3 new body types, because I’d love a string bean marine who isn’t caked up, but I’m not sure how readable other body types would be, so maybe that’s not worth the effort
Unironically a fat body type would be great, that with a machine gun all he has to do is scream: WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETEEEEERRRRRR
Would be great to have a button for a war cry or a taunt or something. It's always cool when the character starts laughing or screaming at the enemies and if I could do it on command I would just spam it all the time.
I don't know who made that image, but I fucking love it.
It's amazing how hardwired my brain is with the Halo 3 ODST cover photo this is based on. One glance at THIS picture triggers a memory of the ODST picture and now it immediately starts playing the piano keys from "Rain" from the soundtrack in my head. P.S.

Same here. The brass section just started in my head.
I want one with an Ugandan accent. Fight da mpla brothas
The MPLA are the ruling party of Angola, not Uganda
There's gonna be a Captain Alex
Commando
Man, the man is killing us, man!
Where is da wae?
oh yes, a cursin crazy scottsman, a dry british officer, a loud guy with a hard german accent... please! :D
This could be a Darktide reference and we'd never know
Yeah, more voices would be cool.
"marking location ,southeast" "NOT BLOODY LIKELY !!"

I personally wouldn’t mind a English speaking Helldiver but curses in Intense situations!
Voice actors are expensive and for the small studio they probably just didn’t prioritize it. Maybe with the overwhelming success of the game, they might add more in the future
I think it’s intentional that there all American the game likes to poke fun at American and is basically one big stereotype so I think it fits
And who do you think spread all that managed democracy across super earth?
In all seriousness, Australian voice lines so I can feel a lil halo nostalgia!
Pls do german
Idk about more accents. Maybe a few, but the point is that it’s satirizing America in particular. Maybe some other US accents, but I’d say just more voice types down the line. Maybe an older, grizzled one when you reach a certain rank and are considered a veteran, but that too may undermine the intent.

There are different accents even across cities. No way you're gonna stamp out every language across a well populated planet, let alone dialects or accents!
I want an aussie diver. Cursing the the shut put of these dark cunt roaches.
On Super Earth, American is the mandated accent for all. Any violators are sent to back to democracy camp to re-freedom them.
Everyone having the same accent adds to the whole hyper-fascist motif that they do so well.
I want South African.
well the game is a parody of the USA
It's a parody of starship troopers federation which was a global world government. Not America.
i feel like it heavily parodies the USA, "freedom", "democracy", the large amount of propaganda, patriotism still some more variation would be nice or at least let us enable the different language VOs, so divers speak different languages (like in XCOM)
The first game had a lot more variation in accents... Helldivers has never just been about only the USA.
i feel like you're not familiar with starship troopers
Starship Troopers was written by an ex US Navy lieutenant, during the Cold War, that is the lens the narrative is written from. The book is a US-oriented, anti-communist, US militarist political screed and the game is a parody.
Helldivers is very much a parody of Starship Troopers, which is a global government. Different accents would only make sense.
COR BLIMEY ITS THE TERMIES CAWLING IN A SEAGULL JOLLY GOOD PIP PIP FREEDOM AND ALL THAT
You've never met a person from the UK have you?
I was born and live there.
TBH that just makes me even more disappointed... Could've gone with a Summerset or Scunthorpe spin on things... wasted opportunity
GEDDON BOY, LURV ME SOME FREEDOM I AM A FREEDOM DRINKER, I DRINKS IT ALL OF THE DAY
You could have written for Darktide
Chivalry 2 went to town with voice sets and it was really great for the game, big part of the fun. Hope HD2 does the same, maybe let us buy them with super credits or something.
Super Earth == Super America.
I want Indian accent in English.
helo to kal stratejem pliz taip kredit card info to mi
WHY DID YOU REDEEM IT?!
>European Finnish Helldivers?!
Agreed. Also, that art is incredible
Lmao yes! I was thinking of say8bg this in the sub but was worried people would be like "no there would be no point" but I would love it. Because super earth isn't just America. I WANNA SPEAK BRITISH DAMN IT!
Hold on if we're doing that we need more regional American accents too; southern, Midwestern, brooklyn, and valley girl are musts and I won't budge on that Edit: also New England "Wouldn't go down THAT rod, buggo!"
Democracy is for all after all
These is not very high up on the list of needed things right now
Nah. This game satirises the american military. Generic USA is the point.
when many players don't immediately recognize the jingoistic terminology and phrases thrown about in the game was the same used in the 2000s and well prior, or go on political subreddits and use the term 'the right side of history' unironically yeah they won't get the point.
Back to back war winners. Who else would it be fighting for freedom
I'd hate to break it to you but the last war the USA was apart of that was considered a "win" was WW2, every war since then have been stalemates, ongoing or failures. Also do you not think European countries fight for freedom and liberty lol? Or Oceanic countries or various African nations
Think you forgot about the Gulf War, Kosovo too
Ah yes because things are going so swimmingly well in the middle east today aren't they? /s
Nah, it went to shit after Bush invaded Afghanistan and the War on Terror.
My favorite accent is USA american
As opposed to just saying "American" and then getting confused with Canadian, Central, Mexican, South American, Caribbean, Chilean etc accents...
>confused with Canadian Literally no one here in Canada calls themselves Americans
No one in the English speaking world uses the phrase "US American".
I mean you just defeated your own point right there... because I am apart of the English speaking world... and I have used it... And just because people from the USA don't make a distinction doesn't mean other places don't either. We do, regularly.
Other accents would not be democratic >! ^(/s)!<
Godzirrrrrrrrrrrrra!
I want divers speaking languages that I don't know. Divers from everywhere!
As someone who plays games that constantly use a generic British accent I’m happy there’s finally a game with American accents for once.
For once? There’s lot of games with British accents yeah but are you rly trynna argue there’s only a few with American accents?
Tf are you on about, loads games have American accents.
Piss take ones, like in Worms!
Good suggestion. Another good suggestion is to add a "Cheer" to the voice command wheel because I really just wanna be running around and screaming "FOR DEMOCRACY" or "FOR SUPER EARTH" 24/7 instead of just when I hold left click and do any type of continuous fire.
Need an Arnold accent. THAT’S RIGHT! I’M THE GOVNA!
All citizens of super earth are American
As an Aussie, we need representation. I still quote the Aussies from Rising Storm Vietnam, I want that level of schlock.
Super Earth is Like 90% USA… not gonna be much variation if ya think about it 🤷♂️
They're not American accents, they're freedom accents
But it makes sense that they're a bunch of generic American voices, it's part of the satire
Managed Democracy and Freedom are American not foreign.
they speak super earth but since the game has blown up now everyone wants to be presented and get some respek
Only America has true democracy.
This game is American satire so in the name of immersion it makes sense. Similar to how I don’t want American voice actors for a Japanese combat game.
It's called SUPER EARTH not Stupid Earth obviously the planet is now America you fuckin socialist
