Helldivers 2's Message: "Join the Galactic War"

One of the key features of Helldivers 2 is The Galactic War. Super Earth's territories are under siege on all fronts by monstrous enemies hell-bent on destroying humanity's way of life. From the war table aboard your ship, your team can watch as the conflict unfolds and take part in battles across the universe. You will do your part to advance the frontlines in the name of Freedom and Managed Democracy.

The Helldivers
Helldivers are the true heroes of Super Earth. As an elite soldier, you have the full might of Super Earth's arsenal at your disposal. Use your lethal array of stratagems and weaponry to defend its colonizers and liberate planets from enemy forces. Rise through the ranks and take on increasingly difficult missions to solidify your place in Helldiver history - and if one Helldiver should perish, that's just an opportunity for another Citizen to realize their dream. Prosperity and liberty are your core values and it's your privilege to spread them.
The enemy factions
The robotic Automatons and the bug-like Termininds terrorize Super Earth citizens in the biggest conflict since the last Helldiver mobilization, over one hundred years ago. Each faction operates differently, and requires their own strategies - and stratagems - to face.

The work of a Helldiver never ends as more planets fall into the enemy's clutches and the battle rages on. Play your part in an evolving war to reclaim planets for Super Earth and spread democracy and liberty to the furthest reaches of the galaxy. Conquer not only Super Earth's foes but the elements themselves, as you brave a plethora of environmental hazards on the surface of alien worlds.


Missions and operations
Unite with your comrades in arms and monitor the conflict at the War Table together. Once you choose a planet, the War Table will allow you to choose an operation to partake in. Operations consist of up to three missions, with a variety of primary objectives, like eradicating bug infestations, destroying enemy supplies, and retrieving valuable data.
Embark on a range of different missions, from taking down high value targets or launching missiles to strike the heart of enemy strongholds. While fighting on the frontlines, keep your eyes open for potential resources and intel to bring back to Super Earth researchers. Your progress contributes to the overall war effort, and brings you closer to liberating that sector of the galaxy.

Super Earth is depending on you. Enlist today—Hellpods drop when Helldivers 2 releases on February 8!

It looks like every other shooter. It looks incredibly boring, whereas the first game still looks incredibly enticing.

Im no "graphics whore" but this looks unacceptably dated/ugly.

honestly after having played a lot of, for example EDF this is just bad.
Like EDF wasnt high end either but it has crazy scale to, like some levels really were like an RTS but you played a single soldier.

I wouldnt mind this if as a trade off it had amazing physics and ground deformation etc, shaping the battlefield as you play on it but nope...its just at best really dated looking.

After watching that video...who the hell do they think theyre fooling.
You have to make an effort on selling your college project looking shooter to me when the market is already absolutely saturated with shooters and a "Pokemon WITH Guns" game just had an explosive success.
Also I would be having a talk with my marketing director when its two weeks and two days away from release with two(?) trailers.
