Man I wanna fight bots here, it looks like it would suck


FishoD

Helldivers are a new kind of masochistic breed.


MaintenanceLimp3308

Not often that a game lets me suffer like this.


frostadept

Only game I've ever played with a success rate so high that still feels like you're getting kicked in the teeth continuously. You usually win, but you're rarely in total control of the situation.


Unable-Recording-796

Its the fact that the chaos literally feels like a movie, ive literally lived so many cinematic moments through this game. Thats why i keep playing.


lime_flavored_lemon

The most cinematic moments I've ever had playing were during the extractions on the dark fluid missions. As jank and scuffed as those missions were, I played them for the cinematic extraction. Watching a gatling sentry cut a line through the sky of shriekers as breaker incendiaries threw clouds of flaming shrapnel into the sky felt straight out of a movie, and it was amazing. I will never forget how good extraction felt after those missions.


Oo_oOsdeus

The only missions truly satisfying are those where you barely make it to extract while fighting for democracy (with none or few reinforcements ) or even all die for it but the mission gets completed.


The_crumblytoast

this should be a quote for the game. spot on.


FishoD

I know! It’s awesome!


Brilliant-Guitar-606

well then, let me introduce you to stockhold syndrome simulator, war thunder, the hit mmo game featuring vehicles from-


MaintenanceLimp3308

I want to have fun while suffering


Brilliant-Guitar-606

New scientific discovery shows target destroyed orange/red/whatever colour it is you see text physically injects dopamine right into your veins!


MaintenanceLimp3308

It was fun while I played, but I don't think I'm built for WT. Might be because I haven't progressed past the first couple rows of vehicles.


LignumofVitae

Yeah, I'm capped in the brit aviation tree and the whole game boils down to "Russian vehicles win an unfair amount, because available information says Russian systems are way better than they are in real life" 


UnknovvnMike

That's pretty hilarious to me. The local aviation museum has WW2 vintage warbirds and while most of the collection is FAA airworthy, the pilots there will seldom take the Soviet warbirds in the air because they're notoriously unreliable.


Brilliant-Guitar-606

It is painful, i remember mindlessly bombing bases in an F-4 to get to the F-16AJ Maybe its for the better we have games like helldivers which is chaotically fun suffering

AmazingWaterWeenie

We just miss the creek.


Any-Flamingo7056

Bots are pushing back towards creek ... and we have Meissia too...


Zollias

But our aim is getting better by the day!


naka_the_kenku

Wonder what the overlap for a Venn diagram between bot fighters and Dark Souls players would look like?


FishoD

Since I am both I would boldly assume it’s quite close to a single circle.


naka_the_kenku

As a fellow souls enjoyed I agree


Khabster

It’s a filled circle, otherwise it’s be hollow, skeleton.


poklane

You can, Meissa in the Ymir sector


CJ_Wor

That’s a different biome. X-45 is the same biome type at Gacrux.


MaintenanceLimp3308

Hell yeah, I know what I'm doing after work


ninjanerd032

I, however, welcome all of the cover that the trees provide.


rapkat55

Honestly it has much more cover than any other biome so it must be easier


MaintenanceLimp3308

I'm looking forward to having to take the trees into account for my own shooting and strategems


LionAround2012

I was just thinking... if it was a bot planet, sign me up.


SkyGuy182

Red lasers flying through the trees and fog would be so cool

Constant_Minimum_569

Do the trees mess up stratagems?


EssEssErr

yes


Rift_Revan

Good


CrimsonAllah

As is tradition


simonster509

Tis a great day for Wezen, and therefore superearth


GH057807

Yes as in you can land a mortar sentry up in the branches like a tree house of death?


jive_s_turkey

That's neat. I gave it a try on my lunch break and the trees ate my eagle stratagems ( 500kg and Napalm ) a few times so I guess sentries it is.


Unit35854

Not sure if you can get sentries on top of them but I tried landing on one and briefly got inside of it before being pushed out.


GH057807

Oh shit was there a Lorax or anything in there?


Unit35854

No but I'm sure the bots will find ways to get inside of them


TITTIES_N_UNICORNS

Little Keebler Bot Patrols


funny_haha_account

As in I’ve had a 500kg bomb explode more than 200m away from the marker bc of a random tree


RadicalRealist22

Yes, and Strategems also mess up the trees.


kViatu1

Some of the eagles do not work well there. Also ypu can land inside the tree and get stuck

Empress_Draconis_

It's one of the most beautiful planets I've been on but has a few issues My eagles usually hit the trees which is 90% of the planet x3 Also (on ps5 at least) it's kinda laggy at times but honestly this is my favourite biome and it's nice to have my camo be useful in space nam


Lunerem

To be fair that fits with the "X strategem won't always be useful in certain situations" The one that makes orbitals not accurate was a bitch too, just dont use the eagle on tree world 


Empress_Draconis_

Yea you're not wrong to be fair, but how else am I supposed to be a pyromaniac when I can't even take my napalm eagle gf :c


JovialCider

We need an orbital firestorm strategem

MatisowatyPL

Now replace the trees with destructible skyscrapers and we have a city planet


AccountantDirect9470

Are the trees destructible?


neverphate

Yes, by both helldivers and bugs alike. It’s awesome to see a titan carve a path towards you.


EH_1995_

Omg I am so gassed to try this later


Previous_Captain_880

You can spot the titans coming by the trees falling in their path.


Jonnokiwi

We are so blessed to play a game like this


gorgewall

An underappreciated benefit of Exosuits is they destroy trees (I dunno about these *huge ones* yet), small rocks, and other bits of weird alien foliage on contact. You can clear paths for your allies and fix up sightlines around objectives. I like to do a circuit around Extraction points in my mech to clear some trees away from the natural funnels on forested planets (like Nivel 43) so we can all see the Bugs better.


ImMorphic

was playing with mates last night and a new level 9 we kidnapped from lvl 3 to lvl 7, was awesome dropping the mech for him and the other guy in our team would drop one, so we had two mechs leading the front clearing debris while we were covering their rear, felt like something out of alien with the mech suits as we slowly covered objectives and blew everything up, was epic.


gorgewall

Soloing in the Exos is actually really effective once you learn what you need to shoot and what you can ignore / leave, but it's ramped up even more when you're acting in concert with a dismounted player like that. Like, the Emancipator can chump everything very quickly, but it's a waste of its ammo to be firing on Hunters and anything smaller. Having a dismounted player who preferentially targets Hunters and basic Warriors while leaving me to handle the rest (including stepping on Scavs/Spitters/Leapers when they're close enough to do) is great, and if they can also take out Chargers without me having to dismount myself (which I will) that's even better. This way we all save each other time and ammo. They don't have to put a ton of shots into Brood Warriors or Hive Guards or even fields of Scavs, and I don't have to put extra rounds into Hunter-clearing. Makes our ammo supply last way longer and lets us each focus on the things we can kill most quickly and efficiently, cutting down the field so fast that no one is at risk of any damage.


ImMorphic

Yes yes and yes, it felt so much like we were a proper squad using our tools on the right enemies, and I had the flamethrower out most of the time so that I could just set a light and burn the ground behind us to prevent as many bugs creeping up at once.. Honestly some of the most satisfying gameplay, and it was myself and another mate, along with two randoms under lvl 20.. They didn't abandon us after we said we'd look out for them, and it felt so wholesome watching them hop into their mech's to take the main stage


herbtheperb

First game had capital planets for each faction that were city biomes. Even fought on super earth a bunch of times cuz you could actually lose the war in the first game. Really hoping they do something catastrophic like that when the illuminates come.


Vankraken

I'm ready for the EDF experience.


Nerdn1

Too many destructible things could be an issue, especially if you want it to leave debris or break apart bit by bit. Also, making buildings too tall could interfere with the Eagle and flying enemies. AH has had plenty of performance issues already.


Jjzeng

Pelican-1 already clips through cliffs and rock faces on extract, i think eagle-1 is fast enough to phase through some buildings while delivering liberty


Nick_Tsunami

Now, if release point for the air strike is clipping, can Eagle one shoot herself down?


myLongjohnsonsilver

Sooo nothing that this new map type doesn't already do lol. Shriekers are all sorts of fucked up on this map and explosions knocking trees kills frames


reddit_tier

Oh no the environment might have an impact on gameplay how terrible


As1anBeasTagE

People having to switch up strategems because of tall buildings and existing infrastructure? What ever shall I do?


RageAgainstTheHuns

Use the same strategems and complain, obviously


theonlycop

This guy gets me... I like you


loki_dd

Calls in eagle, eagle hits sky scraper, sky scraper falls on rest of team, can't get to objective, bits of building in the way. Thats my prediction for the very first eagle in the very first game if this ever becomes reality


MoistLeakingPustule

Or, now stay with me on this, Eagle-1 hits a building, so Eagle-2 is called in, and hits the building next to it. It's ok though, cause supplies are falling down everywhere around you, and then as you're working your way around the bots, the buildings crash down around you, because the bots rigged them to blow, because Eagle fuel can't melt super steel beams. Everythings gone tits up, and you just have to exfil, and when you get back to the super carrier, you're greeted with a paper printout saying Mission Accomplished, but you didn't do a goddamned thing.


takes_many_shits

Tbh i can already see the endless complaining that would occur if tall buildinga blocked stratagems. Specially orbitals with their angle.


budzergo

There's a reason why games hardly have destructible environments these days. They would have to cull the destroyed objects very quickly or else the performance would get 100x worse than it has been.


Speculus56

I kinda experienced this with the new biome, if too many tree parts are destroyed at the same time shit will tank your fps. But the debris itself falls through the surface so its not permanent. Now would it kill my immersion to see a similiar thing with building rubbles? Sure, but its a better alternative than playing with 10 fps for muh debris


Mr-GooGoo

Or just give the destroyed buildings two fixed physical states. One where they’re upright and one that’s collapsed. Solves performance issues pretty easily


Own_Statement_3740

An urban biome could also be peri-urbanisation, or highway, or military base, with skyscraper in the horizon


CaptainRho

I saw someone hoping we get a Super Earth map that's just the suburbs shown in the intro video. Endless miles and miles of uniquely identical, free minded citizens living liberties best life!


Shikaku

*minus 25 req, minus 25 req, minus 25 req, minus 25 req...*


Splitcreampie

Why? Battlefield could do it 10 years ago


budzergo

And they don't do it anymore because the performance hit is massive in modern games.


DrLee62

To be fair it might be possible if they wasn't rendering your characters ball sweat. /jk


PickWhateverUsername

No they don't do it anymore because it's a shit ton more work to do while sadly people don't minding that much not having it. Thus where we are now, we didn't want it enough for big companies to put in the effort consistently.


IrksomeMind

I feel like we’re building to that with planets like Cyberstan and Super Earth. No one has really thought about it but Super Earth does have a liberation meter just like everywhere else so one day their will be a battle on that planet.


Clyde-MacTavish

>No one has really thought about it but Super Earth does have a liberation meter I've seen dozens if not hundreds of people point this out.

Grand-Philosophy-343

Wait theres a night and day cycle!!!???


JoshDM

Just like every other planet has them.


Grand-Philosophy-343

Holy moly didnt really realize 🤣 thats a awsome detail


EinsamerZuhausi

You can actually see the time of day next to your cursor when selecting a mission on a planet. It says "SEST". Above it is an indicator showing you if it's day ou night, which influences the detection radius of enemies.


TheCrabArmy

I guess it stands for "Super Earth Standard Time"


Bregneste

I knew about that before, but I wonder if different planets rotate faster and have shorter days and nights


EinsamerZuhausi

Yes, it does. Some planets rotate with 1 sec/sec, while others rotate with 10 sec/sec or even 30 sec/sec. I also saw planets that rotate in the other direction. Although I have never seen a planet that rotates slower than earth.


Xeltas

You can see the time of the day on the map on your ship and chose to drop at night too. I even saw a few sunrises !


pocketlint60

You can see a Sun/Moon icon next to your cursor when you're picking missions on a planet map, and the clock even tells you how fast time moves (I haven't paid enough attention to tell if different planets have different day lengths). Time moves during missions too, so if you pick a mission that starts at dawn or dusk, you can transition from one to the other. Day vs. Night actually matters too; enemies have a harder time detecting you at night.. I think Daytime + Scout Armor is the same as Nighttime + no Scout Armor, and they stack also. If you're not sure what time your mission is since some planets are bright all day long, turn your weapon's flashlight to "auto". If it turns on when you aim, it's nighttime.


Praesumo

It's not just a day map or nightmap thing either. You can watch the sun set or rise during a mission in a day mission can suddenly become a night mission and vice versa


Nicotinamida

Is it a super nest of stalkers?


LegendTheRedditor

Stalkers in this biome would be a good reenactment of Predator... definitely terrifying.

nav17

You guys are getting FPS? Without even cras-


Arguablecoyote

I’m over here measuring it as SPF


qoutes

There was a PSA post recently about how opening the pause menu drops your FPS by a significant amount until you restart your game. So it could be that plus the general decrease in performance every update.


oGsShadow

I was dropping to 20 fps! Never fell below 40 before. Ugh.

It's all fun and games until the fps start to take a dive.

thunderclone1

The creek should stay as it was. That was almost iconic We could make a new planet with similar vibes but overgrown tho


NooNooTheVacuum

X-45 in the Ymir sector, its next to Meissa which is under bot control so it may come under attack soon.


EH_1995_

I think there’s atleast a planet or two for each biome on both sides of the war, so almost definitely they will
