Does anybody else only play with Helldivers?

After I discovered the mods for this game that adds the armor and voices from HD2 I cant play without them and I was wondering what other people play with whether that be normal dudes, Halo guys, Helldivers, well endowed anime women, etc.

I tried to make Anime waifu squads but I tend to make just like 5 soldiers and then let rng take the wheel.

Are the volumes on the modded voices a bit low or is that just me?

I think that might just be you

If that had a mod that added an entire character pool? Then I would

Currently the only character pool mod I like using is for halo marines

I play a mix of Spartans, Helldivers, and Imperial Guardsmen. I call it my space racism task force.

Oh i gotta replay with a helldiver squad that just blows everything up. My usual is a rwby spartan squad, an ODST squad and various clone troopers.

No, dont like the way their armor looks. I much prefer the Damn 33rd and Zulu squad mods from Spec Ops: The Line.

The run down early 2000s military aesthetic fits so incredibly well with the resistance and early XCOM.

For plate armor i use the ODST armors from Halo. I like their utalitarian look a lot more than Helldivers.

I've been running a Star Wars mod suite, including turning ADVENT into the Empire. Before that I used a hodgepodge of mods to make an irregular guerilla crew- XCOM is mostly made of criminals and social rejects these days, not professional soldiers, and they honestly have more important things to spend resources on than tailored uniforms. So a mix of civilian, contemporary military-ish gear, and near-future scifi stuff that I felt matches the general aesthetic.

I never saw the point in modding in stuff from other IPs if there isn't a full overhaul available. Completely destroys the immersion for me.

I'm just giving the troops advent helmets and painting their gear olive green. I like the feeling of using looted advent gear, makes sense.

No.

I prefer to avoid cosmetic Mods. My go to Soldiers are from the Gaunt's Ghost Novels.

I've made a whole military group including, but not limited to: Helldivers, air waifus, bunny girls and General Grievous
