Why Helldivers 2's D&D-Inspired Meta War Is Exactly What We Need Right Now From a Live Service Game

It’s difficult to think of any game in recent memory that has united a player base quite like Helldivers 2 has. Here's why more live service games needs to follow in its footsteps.

The playerbase loyalty would skyrocket if Arrowhead added special Helldiver dialogue bits that reference previous campaign events… “REMEMBER MALEVELON CREEK!!!”
“TIME TO SPILL OIL!!!”

And so on…

[GrippeeTV]

The idea is genius. It’s actually made players grow attached to the war effort and feel inspired to retake planets like Malevelon Creek as though we actually lost it irl lmao

[TheCorgies]

When microtransaction is actually "micro".

[yoppboi]

Going into medium and hard missions as a 25+ or 50 to help lower players learn or get through missions is cool to see going on all over the war fronts

[Spartan_Jackal]

nothing like seeing 280, 000 Helldivers on one single planet. Ships as far as the eye can see.

The way they got the community to roleplay is genius. It gets people to get invested in the game when not playing it and makes people who don't have it want to jump in and see what all the fuss is about.

The roleplay element is what makes this game even more fun, everyone just instantly goes into character as soon as they enter the ship

[RobG]

The gameplay is actually fun and rewarding. This game made me realize when playing the game itself is the carrot, there is no stick, there is no need for a stick.

[Tyrantforheroes]

This game will serve as an inspiration for future games

[Mtrix]

This game has single handedly ended the console war. We gotta give it to the devs, WELL DONE!

[Xlowe]

Me and my mate died and the two people we played with stayed back waiting for reinforcements as we ran out they held out until the reinforcements was available… this was one of the best online experiences ever!

[Gow]

The newer Battlefront 2 with this system would been amazing. Miss galactic conquest 😢

[romano]

Between all the trailers on IGN you sometimes find a gem like this. Great video !

“We mustn’t succumb to the fear of spreading freedom. Thou shall not rest, until managed democracy is placed upon every living organism that yearns for liberation” - Helldiver Aaron Everhart from the First Galactic War, prior to the battle at Choepessa IV.

Game is so immersive the Automotons launched and attack on the servers when the game first came out irl!

[juancarlosalonso]

HQ just confirmed the rumors that were spreading among the ranks, we’re getting mechs soon to help spread democracy and reverse the tides on the frontline, and in the meantime I’m doing my part!

Starship troopers + a jedi cape + some terminators + a large scale dungeon master

[ZiGGi]

Games workshop please collaborate with these guys who made Helldivers2 they are warhammer fans, the inspiration it’s all over the place . This collaboration would be epic !

[justins]

dude this sounds fun as hell. we got myself and my boy ready to enlist any day now!

[thetechtron]

Imagine they announce an alien ship invasion under radar near your main liberated planets and boom, your skies get dark! That's next level Dungeon Master lore
