Helldivers. What do we think about the upcoming warbond?
https://youtu.be/BPZWJw8u_s4

Hope the turret lights shit on fire. Will be fun to combine it with gas stuff. Only other thing that looks interesting is the primary

Warp pack looks cool.
Million times better than that fucking arc rover. Plasma Heavy also looks cool.
We'll see about the primary but I gotta wonder what the arc nade does the stun nade cant do better.

>>715149304 (OP)
i WILL be buying

>>715149304 (OP)
Wanted to play this game alot but was completely turned off when I hard about the anticheat bricking a person's PC, I can't risk that for a game

>>715149304 (OP)
>Blink-182
Heh, I get it.

>>715149304 (OP)
I think I have 60 hours in it and that's about all the entertainment the gameplay loop has, this dripfeed of content isn't going to change anything. A big expansion would give me a dozen or two hours more but that's about it.

These live services are fucking retarded, they're fighting over a small pool of players with addictive personality issues that will keep grinding the same random generated missions for hundreds/thousands of hours, but those generally get stuck in one game and stick with it. Every single time, devs are amazed that player counts for their live service game drops to 10% or less after people have exhausted it.

You run around a mostly generic rocky landscape and shoot waves of bugs over and over again, it's not going to keep normal people entertained for more than a few dozen hours.

>>715149304 (OP)
No super store armor this time?

>>715149304 (OP)
I have 500 hours and can't afford these anymore. I farmed for like 10k credits at launch using an exploit and now that stash is gone after buying every warbond even with them refunding 300 SC each. Playing exclusively on D10 means you get jack shit.

>>715149604
Who asked

>>715149304 (OP)
I don't like any of these armors they give for their battle pass thing, they all look shit

>>715149668
They showed it at the end of the trailer

>>715149676
The guy paying your paycheck, actually.

>>715149671
just grind trivial on public lobbies
with decent group you should get around 400 per hour
perhaps more with the waypoints mod but yeah its ass that you have to go out of your way to even get credits

>>715149304 (OP)
the AD-26 armor is almost cool but i hate the tubes on it.
also when are they gonna finally do a Starship Troopers collab, i swear if it doesn't happen..

>>715149986
They wont, because the copyright holders are probably pissed the game does a better job of being a Starship Troopers game than anything they've ever licensed

>>715149491
Arc dog is unreliable, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't arc properly, sometimes it instakills your entire squad.

>>715149304 (OP)
It's whatever. I'd prefer more red stratagems. More gameplay changes.
>>715149604
150 hours in and yeah, same sentiment. It's a bit funny how I have to grind for the privilege of grinding for more stuff in a game I already paid for... gameplay loop itself should be the hook, but I can't make my own fun forever

>>715149496
How does that gun even work IRL ?????

>>715149604
Have you considered that 50+ hours is actually a lot of play time for a game?

>>715150187
>50+ hours is actually a lot
Do you consider 50 hours of boxing (or any kind of sports in that matter) a lot ?

>>715150267

Strange people. You're not like this outside are you?

Stop being a jew for a second and answer

>>715150161
Its like a standard flintlock rifle, except it has 7 barrels that all fire at once. Its intended to be fired into a group of people. Only problem is you're firing 7 guns at once. Shit would fuck up the person firing it, breaking their arms/shoulder or knocking them flying. I assume that's what the alternate fire of the gun in the gun in the game is, hence why the diver gets launched back

>>715149304 (OP)
odst warbond next month retards

>>715149304 (OP)
Add a fencer class retarded devs

a guy can't post whatever he likes no more on an open forum

>>715150483
What a weird design although it's funny.

>>715150520
You'll be lucky if you get some armor or a cape

>>715149304 (OP)
>Armor
sexy, love the look and ability
>VG-70
dig the volley gun idea, sucks that its AP2 but i'm looking forward to it
>PLAS-45 Epoch
looks fun to use, wonder how the unsafe mode is going to factor in, hope they buff the laser cannon down the line because this thing makes it obsolete
>LIFT-182
dont use mobility packs much but from the video it looks like fun to mess around with before it kills you after the 3rd jump
>G-31
finally a good arc grenade that isnt that piece of shit URCHIN, but the gas grenade will still be forever best in slot

other that that the whole aesthetics of this pass is good, super store looks decent too.

>>715150483
>I assume that's what the alternate fire of the gun in the gun in the game is, hence why the diver gets launched back
better
>VP-70 has three different firing modes
>auto which is just a standard rifle with 3 RPM settings
>Volley which fires from all barrels at once
>Total which fires entire magazine at once damaging you and knocking you back

>>715150709
>wonder how the unsafe mode is going to factor in
unsafe mode implies the existance of a safe mode there is no safe mode

>>715150756
>Total which fires entire magazine at once
The actual fuck? Does it melt armor like a railgun at that point or what?

they haven't upped the level cap for almost a year now
no point in playing to flex over the xboxfags when they get in

>>715151014
You could play to have fun

>>715150892
AP2 so no armor melting
but anything unarmored will most likely die instantaneously

>>715151119
>AP2 so no armor melting
>but anything unarmored will most likely die instantaneously
>a FUCK FLESHMOBS weapon
Finally.

>>715151119
Including me from what I can tell. Can't wait to try it lmao

>>715151119
They show it pop a hulk though, so maybe the alternate mode is higher AP

>>715149304 (OP)
Once you played for a few dozen of hours there is little reason to come back to the game.
Also the alien race sucked shit, what the hell

>>715151194
I can see the total firing mode being higher AP

>>715151194
They shoot the unarmored vent.

>>715151194
Heatsinks are unarmored

>>715149304 (OP)
I'm gonna larp as warp spider so fucking hard with the warp pack

"Fully materialized, and prepared for war!"

>>715150483
Don't some old flintlock users use like a monopod when firing? Maybe it would've helped with the recoil

>>715150267
>Football practice twice a week for 1hr
>50 hours is 25 weeks, ie almost half a year
Yeah that´s quite a lot. I'd be over the moon if I could get half a year´s worth of football bookings for 40$

>>715151372
You can only teleport 3 in a row without cooling down as the 4th one will instagib you apparently

>>715149604
I jump into HD2, Darktide, Vermintide and RTS games with friends fairly often still. I dont even think about grinding or live service or content. I just fuck around in whatever when I feel like it and if theres new shit, cool. Obviously the premium currency model in general is mega jew shit and I fucking hate it but Ive unlocked a fair amount of shit for free in HD2 so honestly I don't even hold it against the game.

At least two of the factions are pretty good and the gameplay is pretty satisfying. But the fun is doing it with a bunch of other retards. Even random matchmaking is generally fine

>>715151119
>AP2 so no armor melting
fucking shit weapon

>>715149870
At this point its more economical just to work an extra hour at your job and buy them.

>>715151458
Fitting for warp spiders desu as they have a chance of being gibbed by their warp packs as well, (or more accurately, they are snatched by deamons while in transit)

>>715151372
You say that but even the thumbnail has the guy with the blink-182 reduced to his boots.

>>715151458
Sounds like a fun idea, better than having one cooldown between each jump like the jetpacks.

Does this game have rotating in/out cosmetics? The Killzone kit from sometime ago piqued my curiosity

>>715151453
IIRC the thing was designed for the navy, so it was ship use. Imagine trying to set up a rest for the thing on a rolling ship. I think they just assumed the guy using it could take it. Didn't work out though because they quickly discontinued the thing

>>715151736
it's gone. forever.

>>715151736
>Does this game have rotating in/out cosmetics?
yes
>The Killzone kit from sometime ago piqued my curiosity
anon i the killzone kit

>>715151736
used to rotate, now its just one long set of pages you can flip through. The Killzone stuff was a limited crossover. Supposedly they're going to redo it at some point

>>715151785
>>715151913
>>715151817
Yeah I'm not surprised, seems to be how it is these days. What about all these passes, also FOMO bullshit or can you grind them up anytime like with some other games?

>>715151736
There are some capes that are for the
>you have to be there
moments like the defending Super Earth one

Think you can still get the reviewbomb cape today

>>715151736
each warbond has rotating cosmetics/weapons (mostly melee with one exception)
it rotates every 2 days or so
plus some warbonds have cosmetics that are permanently in store

>>715150531
Just adding mech/exosuits not made of paper (we totally fixed it guys pls understand) would be a good fucking start.

>>715152001
Passes are eternal, only thing can miss out on are major story beats like the invasion of SE

>>715149496
I can't believe my gunfu is back

>>715152001
If you mean the warbonds, yeah, they're basically battlepasses but once they release one its permanent. You basically use premium currency to unlock it, then use medals you earn at the end of a mission or find during them to unlock the items in the warbond. You also get the medals from major orders, big missions all the players contribute to through their individual ones. So no worries about missing out on the stuff in the warbonds

>>715152001
>>715152135
And unique capes, like malevelon creek and review bomb.

>>715151494
>I jump into HD2, Darktide, Vermintide and RTS games with friends fairly often still.
The problem is that this isn't enough for live service games. If the player count isn't actively increasing, management and the investors freak out, declare it dead, and move onto the next line go up promise.

>>715152119
>enemy gunship collides with the mech as its being dropped
>hurr why did it explode tho!?

>>715151494
What are some good RTS games to play with bros, considering none of us played them after 00's?

>>715152305
>that will be 10 minutes cooldown and one of the three mechs total we give you for a mission, whoops I'm such a clumsy pelican driver tehe ;)

>>715152226
If you're so invested in the game you care about specific capes, you won't miss any opportunities.

>>715152456
>yo Eagle 1, why did that diver have me come in and drop a mech while a Stingray was strafing the squad?
>I dunno, he has me drop 500kgs directly on the squad all the time, I think the squids got to his mind

>>715152476
This! So much this! Take my gold and upvote!

>>715151372
Absolutely incredible taste and same.

>>715152476
I think some capes you can get by virtue of just having an account before they're distributed

>>715152265
what im trying to say is, fuck it who cares. The model sucks.

>>715152361
My mates really like Dawn of War II for some reason so its a lot of that. I prefer 1. We also play
>Company of Heroes 1+2
>Also a lot of C&C Generals Zero Hour (you need Gentools for this)
>Age of Empires II Definitive Edition (verging on too stressful for us)
A few of us also play Total Warhammer but that shit is too expensive to break into for most of the group.

>>715152550
That stingray came out the moment I called the mech. And to be honest I stopped bringing mechs after that specific case, was like the last straw, 95 times out of 100 any other stratagem will work better. The amount of times the mech or at least one of its hands was destroyed 2 seconds after it touched the ground is too much. I love it but it's just way too frustrating to play roulette with a 10 minutes cooldown.

>>715152843
My most hilarious one was the mech got dropped on top of a streetlight. We sat there for 2 minutes nading the light trying to get it to fall down before harvester creeped up and wasted us all AND the mech

>>715152843
Oh, and it would be easy as hell to fix, just refund the charge/cooldown if the mech was destroyed before it even touched the ground or 1-3 seconds after that. Or drop it covered in some personal shield small enough to only cover the mech itself and only strong enough to withstand a few shots.
Like with almost every single problem the game has, the solution is on the surface, but swedes are way too fucking lazy to do anything, or too afraid to break something else.

>>715149496
>it's not a gatling
so close yet so far

>>715153808
someday...

>>715149304 (OP)
ctool im thinking how op can it be the telefrag and if i will kill bile titans striders and leviathans

>>715150829
its a prototype test so safe made will be for a patch makes sense

>>715151785
nah its gonna be a shit yearly event

>>715152226
best cape its superearth first defense even tho its not cyborgnam experience

>>715152456
these retards swedes should just drop the 5min CD 3 uses is enough to balance it same with orbital laser

>>715153334
they got a shit vision of the game "MUH SPACE MILSIM IRONY PARODY OF FASCISM STARSHIP TROOPERS HELLDIVING"

>>715151269
Worse yet the cutted squid enemies you can spawn if you re ironsights or another hacker are funnier and engaging to fight
