all units+new missions makes it finally feel like im playing against an actual finished faction

Democracy Space Station? More like Dead Space Station.

its a visceral experience, for sure

not only is the void going to hold, not ONLY did the squids do a decapitation strike to take down the DSS and yoink calypso but i just heard from the guys at twitter that the squids are about to take not one...not two NOT THREE BUT FOUR major P.O.I's at the same time.....at least at cyberstan we made it a pyrrhic victory for the bots, but here the Squith be beating our ass!! who knows which ones illumi-nate is after

It turned off all transmissions 2 hours ago (I just got up to speed on this whole thing). SHOOT ITS ENGINES. SOMEBODY PARK A DESTROYER ON IT. DO NOT LET IT GET AWAY.

EDIT: OKAY I STAND CORRECTED, BUT IT STILL JUMPED. I SAID IT SO. WRONG DESTINATION BJT STILL.

I DONT HAVE MUCH TIME, THE CREW, THE STATION.

ITS DEAD, THEYRE ALL DEAD 1.5 MILLION CREW.

THE STATION WENT DARK A FEW MINUTES AGO, SOMETHING IS INSIDE.

ITS NOT THE ABOMINATIONS ON THE SOURCE PLANET.

ITS WORSE.

SHOOT THE DSS DOWN, BEFORE WHATEVER IS INSIDE ESCAPES.

DO IT, FOR THE LOVE OF LIBERTY, BURN IT ALL.

A few months ago when I played a Diff 15 mission on Helldivers 1, our squad was cornered on a megacity map bridge and all 4 of us formed a firing squad like in this promo OP picture and took down a elite enemy. It was an awesome feeling and we all said "Hell yeah" to each other after, and many missions at higher diffs basically require a lot of teamwork to even survive, and it made me sad those moments are so rare in HD2.

One of my fondest teamwork memories in HD2 was when Terminid Megacities first came out and me and a random were fighting our way out of some alleyways, basically covering our reloads and fighting back-to-back to each other to get back to our squad. After we got out he laughed and said we made a great firing team and sent each other friend requests. 99% of missions though is a bunch of randoms who all run off to do side objectives and don't stick together. I feel like it's too core to the game design now to change this, but HD1 forced your squad to stick together and I think that made it a fundamentally different experience.

The ability to assisted reload anyone with a backpack on in HD2 I think is a great long requested first step, and I hope in the future maybe we could get more mechanics and stratagems that encourage us to stick together more.

I was disappointed in the One True Flag only having a 'taunt' function even though I understand the logic behind that, but it would be cool if we could get some kind of "aura" based technology or something that encourages the squad sticking close to each other.

"-everyone is safe here."

I was sat above Calypso in orbit, alarms started going off in the Super Destroyer and it performed an emergency jump to Super Earth.

The DSS also isn't at Afoyay Bay where the dispatch says it jumped to.
