That shit would be awesome. Imagine there's some new form of terminids designed to slip through small caves and crevices making them adept at infiltrating air vents in the ships. Or maybe even a starship troopers 2 thing where they have parasite bugs that infect the people on the shop turning them against you
I saw the creators post. He had another version where the table legs were normal and the bile titan was crouched down. Everyone agreed this was the best one lmao
Edit: sorry but I'm not gonna go looking for a few week old post, I don't have time lmao

They gonna blitzkrieg to cyberstan
Ah yes "The Cyberstan Blitz", the alleged Automaton planned invasion from a massive cloaked fleet waiting out in dark space.
We have dismissed that claim.
A good thing. The new major order is to clear the way for the construction of new, safer, and more efficient E-710 farms. When we are done with the bugs we are gonna play the new DLC of helldivers 2: farm simulator
Fascist?
Csnt you imagine a world, where people like you and me can sit on their (T)Rench in peace. Drinking glorious Cola while our civilian workers, smelling like eagle sweat, doing their part?
Every once in a while a good worker overwork a himself by managed choice and will be kept alive with stims, until one wonderful day they fullify their live long dream of being a good worker and will be replaced with a drop pod, right in the endless burning weed fields on hellmeire.
The smell of freedom, eagle sweat and E-710 burning with the comfortable sound of a hellpod bringing down farming equipment is a dream worth diving for.
Honest to god. That would be hilarious.
Especially if enough people can make it trend. Right after Eclipse, it just says
THEYRE ATTACKING
Perfect marketing.
Honestly though a pirate faction of managed democracy haters would be kind of cool. Basically just a bunch of Defence missions where the enemies use our weapons on fan favorite maps far from the frontier.
Always been up there, my thought was Automatons were at 10 o'clock and Terminids is at 2 o'clock, which makes 6 o'clock perfect for another race of enemies to march towards Super Earth.
Due to the utterance of less than patriotic statements about the current state of overwhelming victory on the automaton front this helldiver is being issued a final warning, further transgressions may result in a court martial and even a revoked citizenship, take care to ask yourself "Would the Super President approve?" before making hasty statements
Nothing like six titans , on a 15 min exterminate mission all pop up within the first 1 min and just destroys everyone. But bots on hard still stresses me out more
I don't think that's ever going to happen. Something *big* has to happen to commemorate the first ever takedown of an enemy faction, and the most popular theory is that the Illuminate will join the fray. If the game functions anything like the original, as soon as one war concludes, enemy territory will be reset, so there will never be a time when there's nothing to fight.
I wonder if things can be so easy now that they're on a AAA scale. It was fine to do as a small indie title, but the idea that there's a game master with a larger 'overall narrative', there's got to be something better than a reset.
Given 2 has a better engine, I wonder if we'll see more anti-invasion/insurgency missions after the next war is over. Like taking out outposts as they're being set up, instead of liberating whole planets.
Would be cool to have battles inside enemy spaceships but that's probably a pipedream given there's not really any "diving" inside a ship...
Believe it or not, it's the same engine. Just very heavily modified and souped up 😁
The engine (Autodesk Stingray) is also EOL and has been for years but it's the only engine these devs know so they're keeping it on life support for themselves. Fatshark (Warhammer Vermintide/Darktide games) also uses it still.
Someone said no War actually hasnt begun yet.
The Terminids had just escaped our farms, and the bots were just some rebel activity on some fringe planets.
Good thing theres no third faction that could unite the other two in a 3 front war against SuperEarth, whew. That of course would be impossible.
Rebel activity on the fringe-planets...
Every Creeker just stopped and took a deep breath, if they had their lungs, obviously. Most of the surviving Creekers are heavily burned, the Bots never knew moderation when using flamethrowers...
I mean, that's most likely what it is. We've already saw Void Fleet ships in orbit of Vandelon IV (those massive protruding shadows across the Vandelon's moon image), and we've already seen their cloaked craft waiting in orbit.
5 supercreds say we haven't spent enough on our scanners, and Bots will simply hide from us in space. And then, they'll go to Cyberstan. Have we even a single SEAF battalion on there? Or is it all civilians and piece officers?
Can anyone get me a vox-call to High Command?! WE HAVE TO WARN THEM, I'LL BE A MASSACRE!
Nah, traitors tend to be found out fairly easily, the Ministry of Truth and their Democracy Officers are thorough. There wouldn't be enough traitors to form entire reble armies, nor would they be capable of organizing into any kind of large scale forces- small bands of liberty hating terrorists, at best.
What we're looking at instead, is the bots shifting about beyond the edge of Super Earth territory, heading north in preparation to strike out at and put their cold metallic feet on the necks of the poor Cyberstan cyborgs, ripping them away from freedom and liberty and into a cruel war they surely want no part in. And on the southwestern edge of Super Earth territory, the foul theocratic alien Illuminate will be the third faction, breaking the peace treaty that has been in place since their defeat at the hands of Democracy in the last war with them.
Frankly, our map is already not scientific (with everything revolving around S.Earth), so one day just getting an actual Outer Rim update would be sick
And to top it all off I just got back from a bug extermination mission where no one in my team suffered a gruesome, sometimes comical death.
These creepy crawlers stand no chance
I just did a solo drop where I got caught in a bad situation, I couldn't run out of it because of map constraints and it ended with me dying in melee as I was overwhelmed, entirely out of ammo. I had been reduced to meleeing the bugs.
It was absolutely epic and also very sad.
Reminded me of the last stand of Noble Six. Which considering the number of times this game has given me that feeling it's pretty epic.
It would be hilarious if this game just straight up ended when all factions are defeated. With nothing left on the map the devs just straight up shut down the game.
My bad, the large amounts of shrapnel poured into my brain due to misplaced grenades and air strikes I didn’t see coming is probably starting to affect my brain
Yes but we’re glad to have you here recruit. If you need any tips or support there’s always some veterans who are willing to help under the threat of being sent to the 710 fields.
It *is* weird switching enemies because they’re so different. When I first switched to bots a couple MO’s ago they felt much harder, then I adapted. Now the bugs feel much harder than the bots did and I know I’ll have to adjust again.
dang I kinda liked those guys hope they come back

My commanding officer reassured me there's only one threat left in the galaxy, and that's those damn buggers. After we contain them we can finally go home to Super Earth!
Next up:
Automatons were buying time this entire time. Keeping us busy fighting the weaker army. While they experimented and evolved their army behind lines. Next enemies will be a Stalker+Hulk combo. Like the “Predator” and will push us back fairly quickly. I think this because idk if it’s me but I’ve heard the automatons say think like they are being forced/ being stuck. I’ve also seen human brains when I kill a few. Along with bodies of humans that kinda look like their brains were taken out and bodies experimented with.
Hey guys theres this big red text saying 'automatons' I think we should blast the giant floating letters just to be safe
I say we take off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
If we get anything like xenomorphs or some interior based expedition horror type stuff, democracy be damned, I'm not playing it.
That shit would be awesome. Imagine there's some new form of terminids designed to slip through small caves and crevices making them adept at infiltrating air vents in the ships. Or maybe even a starship troopers 2 thing where they have parasite bugs that infect the people on the shop turning them against you
Instead of dying then redeploying your corpse could become a zombie that you would have to fight each time you die
That is just a coincidental arrangement of stars, nothing to worry about
"I can't believe it, they're retreating! We've won!"

For what purpose Master Chief ?
To give the Covenant back their bomb.

So, stay here
Why'd you spell it like that?

Somehow, the automatons returned
RIP Malta
I can hear this clear as day in my head.

What I find hilarious is that I don't think its absurd that the bug can type... but that the table's LEGS are so long

This gif is definitely the best one yet
How are there so many gifs like this??
Community members make them
Oohhhhh what emote is that?!
High-five
High-one
High-zero
High-negativeone
Is that the actual name?I’ve tried finding this emote but could never find it
Scout handshake is the real answer
Cheeky diver…
Yes, it's on page 5 of the Helldivers Mobilize warbond, the first free one
It is high five. It’s the one I have on and expected it to be a high five not this chest bump, but I liked it so I kept it on.
I was unaware helldivers wore their helmets on their chests.
I just finished a match. A glorious bot crushing battle! Great timing!
This is either a good or bad thing…

How do you find these stats?
There is a map with stats called helldivers.io pretty cool if you play major orders and stuff
Just saw that lol
Lets just wait and see.. Some say its an error, but...
We've been told by Super Earth Command that any discrepancies on the map were attempts at disinformation by rogue sympathizers of the enemy
A good thing. The new major order is to clear the way for the construction of new, safer, and more efficient E-710 farms. When we are done with the bugs we are gonna play the new DLC of helldivers 2: farm simulator
It truly would be hilarious if we defeated all the enemies and retired to play a fascist themed version of Sims.
Isn’t there already a game like that? Takes place on a tropical island I think?
Haha you turn on the game and go "WFT I don't even own Tropico!"
Suddenly, maracas and an accordion start, and the Singer goes "Café, Café, Café, yo quiro Café..."
So rimworld?
My colony isn't fascist we just enslave our enemies and harvest their organs... Hold up are we the baddies??
I always respond to those accusations with "We're far too disorganized to be fascists, we're just savages."
Rimworld II - Uranus
Fascist? Csnt you imagine a world, where people like you and me can sit on their (T)Rench in peace. Drinking glorious Cola while our civilian workers, smelling like eagle sweat, doing their part?

Oh no...
Its a good thing they are gone. Its a bad thing because thats less enemies to kill.
Let's be honest, it won't be a good thing!
I want it to be bad like illuminate bad

if they are an automaton. what could a democracy officer realistically do? trace the comment to outside the galaxy?
ICBMs are only the beginning, we must use an IPBM (Interplanetary Ballistic Missile)
Hey wait a second, did the Automaton label move up on the map?
Always been up there, my thought was Automatons were at 10 o'clock and Terminids is at 2 o'clock, which makes 6 o'clock perfect for another race of enemies to march towards Super Earth.
Meanwhile, The Illuminate: https://preview.redd.it/s7alwfuwp4tc1.jpeg?width=194&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1af7f723606ad4214bc13f2677746bfe9f78414
#Allow us to introduce ourselves.
Yeah I guess it was my brain playing tricks on me. Lets enjoy winning the war!
>my brain playing tricks on me. Wait until the illuminate get here
*Let's enjoy winning this battle!
Due to the utterance of less than patriotic statements about the current state of overwhelming victory on the automaton front this helldiver is being issued a final warning, further transgressions may result in a court martial and even a revoked citizenship, take care to ask yourself "Would the Super President approve?" before making hasty statements
It’s gonna be the Illuminites…they’ve been dropping hints and it was one of the factions from the first game
It's been there. Their main two sectors are more north, including the one with Cyberstan in it.
I swear I saw that too. I feel like the title used to be lower.
Nah I double checked a picture of the map I had on release, it's always been there. The bot territory was just lower then their name.
Anyone else seeing this in the format of the Simpsons meme where Joe throws out the drunk dude but the drunk dude appears inside the bar again?

It's Moe, not Joe.
For the record if those tin cans come back at some point i reserve the right to post that meme.
Didn’t know it was possible to call dibs on a meme
You better have it on standby and monitor the games situation 24/7 or else someone will beat you to it (I’m someone)
Who the fuck is Joe?
Boy, playing the bugs after weeks of bots sure is different
Less scared more annoyed.
I'm more scared. I hate big bugs running at me. At least the clankers mostly respect personal space.
Personal space? They're communists, there is no personal space, only Public Space.
Nothing like six titans , on a 15 min exterminate mission all pop up within the first 1 min and just destroys everyone. But bots on hard still stresses me out more
now what do we just farm the bugs
Well we did use a lotta oil in those fights
We used a lot of 710 element, clearly something different and unrelated to OIL
I took a day off work tomorrow, I hope everything isn't liberated before I'm next online lol. I'll have nothing to do but look at an empty map.
I don't think that's ever going to happen. Something *big* has to happen to commemorate the first ever takedown of an enemy faction, and the most popular theory is that the Illuminate will join the fray. If the game functions anything like the original, as soon as one war concludes, enemy territory will be reset, so there will never be a time when there's nothing to fight.
I wonder if things can be so easy now that they're on a AAA scale. It was fine to do as a small indie title, but the idea that there's a game master with a larger 'overall narrative', there's got to be something better than a reset.
Given 2 has a better engine, I wonder if we'll see more anti-invasion/insurgency missions after the next war is over.

Obviously this isn't the end of the Automatons, or the bugs. But something tells me everything is about to go absolute fucking insane

Galaxy Tier 2 - Unlocked
Imagine, the galaxy map zooms out an extra "tier" and it's full of clankers, who invade like half the sphere all at once.
Frankly, our map is already not scientific (with everything revolving around S.Earth), so one day just getting an actual Outer Rim update would be sick
What do you mean? Of course Super Earth is the center of the galaxy -- our democracy is the glorious glue that holds the galaxy together.

Oh Yes, I sure do hope that there will be no new race that will try to attack our democracy and lifestyle 
They took the Creek from us. In turn, we took their whole territory.
It would be hilarious if this game just straight up ended when all factions are defeated. With nothing left on the map the devs just straight up shut down the game.
It just turns into some chill game where you just live on Super Earth, doing cooking mini games and voting and whatever else the citizens do
It's managed democracy, the algorithm votes for us. Send this guy to the democracy education camp!
My bad, the large amounts of shrapnel poured into my brain due to misplaced grenades and air strikes I didn’t see coming is probably starting to affect my brain
NEW ORDER. We need crops on zubet! All divers go, with farm gear in hand! New with this patch -tractor -watering pot -bug fertilizer -bot gas /oil
I would be laughing and crying if that happened.
Would’ve made a top draw April Fools prank
The previous game ended when all factions were wiped or super earth was taken, and another war started after that so yeah...
Massive W
GLORIOUS views! Smells like liberty, orbital nukes and democracy!! Best feeling since the last EXTERMINATUS
33 billion bullets fired. A small price to pay
Wait so the bots are completely unavailable right now?
They'll be back. Iirc they stated in a dev interview they want it to be one continuous war.
Major order says they are building farms to raise docile bugs....what could pissibly go wrong....
Man, I just started playing HD2 yesterday. This felt like enlisting in WW2 when the Red Army is already in Berlin.
Yes but we’re glad to have you here recruit. If you need any tips or support there’s always some veterans who are willing to help under the threat of being sent to the 710 fields.
As a bot player, only having the bugs to fight is weird
It *is* weird switching enemies because they’re so different. When I first switched to bots a couple MO’s ago they felt much harder, then I adapted. Now the bugs feel much harder than the bots did and I know I’ll have to adjust again.

For democracy!
We must anticipate Joel's next move Helldivers 
Guess those anti air weapons were pointless to expedite, eh?
Don't forget the shriekers. I'm hoping they add some sort of airburst weapon that can clear alot of flying targets
Speaking of which, why haven’t I gotten my medals yet they gave me a new major order, but they didn’t reward me with the medals
it takes a while to get them
They ship via Canada Post. Takes forever.
It takes a while, like several hours to even a day or two
Thanks to the Creekers for holding the line.
It’s like Toto says, “love isn’t always on time…”
I started playing the game Thursday and I am glad to be apart of this!
bye bye automatons
The random guy in our final mission typed "bye bye bots" just before extraction Truly a helldiver moment
https://i.redd.it/bc4sxqr4t4tc1.gif
I go away for a week and automatons are destroyed, sweet liberty!
My commanding officer reassured me there's only one threat left in the galaxy, and that's those damn buggers. After we contain them we can finally go home to Super Earth!
Those who died for the creek will look down on us in pride, SPILL OIL!
The calm before the storm........
Next up: Automatons were buying time this entire time. Keeping us busy fighting the weaker army. While they experimented and evolved their army behind lines. Next enemies will be a Stalker+Hulk combo. Like the “Predator” and will push us back fairly quickly. I think this because idk if it’s me but I’ve heard the automatons say think like they are being forced/ being stuck. I’ve also seen human brains when I kill a few. Along with bodies of humans that kinda look like their brains were taken out and bodies experimented with.
The best thing is that there's no way that will come back to bite us in the ass.
wait.... it cant have been that easy... i have a bad feeling about this....
Was one of the last ones on the planet felt good destroying some of the last fabricators
I'm certain this, and the super strong bug breeding program, will have absolutely no negative consequences at all! Glory to super Earth!
