Give it to me straight. I enjoyed Helldivers 2 (got burnt out tho). Will I enjoy this as a new player in 2025? I heard the game is good now after a ton of updates and stuff the devs added.

Also I don't like to spend money on mtx if that counts.

You're not supposed to make fan threads of Warhammer content without licence from GW. Delete the thread or you're gonna get sued by them.

because I wanna hear the opinion of someone that has experience in the game. I know the game was trash on release but apparently it's good now. Why is it good? That's what I wanna know.

And no, YouTube and shit online is all 7+ months old for this game apparently.

I've got like 200 hours, I find it pretty fun to play.
The main problem I think is lack of map variety, and I'm not sure if that due to an actual lack of maps or because quick play puts you in the same 4 maps.
But there's plenty of difficulty levels to chase so there's a reason to keep playing.
I'm sure no ones playing but I've had no issue queuing and getting a team and I live in Australia where there's fuck all people.
I haven't spent a dime on mtx, I did just buy the dlc though because I'd long since maxxed all the classes.

Yeah, they fixed most of the awful progression RNG that everyone complained about at launch, where your weapon stats, perks (stat bonuses) and blessings (passive abilities) were random, and you could only fix 2 things out of your 2 perks and 2 blessings. Nowadays, you can build your preferred weapon however you want, with the only RNG left being your weapon's final stat spread and curio (accessories) base stats.
MTX are mostly cosmetics, and paid classes (currently one just came out).

The moment to moment is fun but the map variety is nonexistent and most weapon types suck

I'd say they're all pretty "balanced" in that they're all really good at whatever they're designed to do. The problem is at higher difficulties some weapons just make more sense because it's non stop hoards and you will just die if you only have a high single target damage axe or something.

Yeah, they improved it a lot even if it took a nonsensical amount of time to do so.
