The Current State of Helldivers (animatic)

save helldivers.

[magos]

A lof of people are asking for the music so here it is.

[jericodawsonmarcos]

wow it took two games to have a horus heresy incident in super earth

[pyrothedood]

I can’t believe I defrosted from the first galactic war, awoke to the second, and now my battle cry is “Vera Libertas”, the cruel irony

[KadeFitzhenry]

The scene of the Old Diver reminiscing about the motorcycle and cape spinning is so real

[bidkt]

If no one cared about this game no one would make videos like this. I hope they can turn this game around.

Look devs, we realize we’re supposed to roleplay as cannon fodder to be thrown at the problem. However the whole _premise_ of the game from the very start was that the cannon fodder happens to get hilariously overpowered weapons they barely have the training to handle. That’s why Super Earth can afford to sling just 4 schmucks on any one mission and get decent results with only a relative handful of reinforcements.

Taking away the “hilariously overpowered” part of our side of the game just makes us discount Guardsmen from 40k with none of the overwhelming artillery support or literal hundreds of thousands of reinforcements to hurl at our enemies.

2:24
That detail on tripping on a rock or something minor and just failing to get up is too real, especially when you’re being chased by a horde

[AlphaFox]

2:59 Dark divers are basically Chaos Space Marines and it took me seeing this frame to realize it. I'm so here for it.

My ship is in permanent orbit of Meridia until the Illuminate arrive

[photosyntheticzee]

The devs clearly though we were enjoying fighting for a dystopian system too much

[The_cgull]

Never been happier to see a video be out of date, thankfully it's fixed now

[Ey_SmoKrac]

LET THE SEAS BOIL.
LET THE STARS FALL.
THOUGH IT TAKES THE LAST DROP OF MY BLOOD.
I WILL SEE THE GALAXY FREED ONCE MORE.

Its actually amazing how they squandered so much goodwill. EVERYBODY was loving this game and was roleplaying as Helldivers. Now its just sad.

[Marinealver]

Never forget this company has the ability to snatch defeat from the Jaws of Victory.

[altechelghanforever]

In the end, the cyborgs of the first galactic war won. Their ultimate revenge plan that was the Automatons somehow ended up convincing Helldivers to join them.

[jovifidelis]

Terminids and Illuminates: Lets team up to beat the bad guys!
Automatons being as moraly grey as possible:

[nobodyspecial]

The thing that everybody needs to remember, he had to have started making this a while ago.

And it’s even more relevant now than when he started .

[AlphaFox]

How dare you make me tear up a little at 1:50 thinking about the past like that! Great "animation" and honestly with how many frames it has I'd say it deserves the title despite missing a few. I've seen many flip book levels of animatics and this feels in league of its own.

[panachevitz]

I would have thought that the squirt gun would actually be more effective than most weapons since it hasn't been nerfed yet....

[hawkmm]

A nice detail would have been to have the flamethrower be totally unable to burn the Super Earth flag.

Nice animation though, perfectly encapsulates the state of the game or rather the constant state of the game since the first "balance" patch.
