This would be a nice change of pace because the only real difference between bots and bugs is how crowded shit can get. They both have similar ideas of medium vs light armored troops and big "tanks" that cause issues. Hulks and chargers are fairly comparable it's just one shoots shit at you from afar non-stop and the tanks and bile titans are slower but deadlier.

I know stalwart fans would love being able to dumpster shit by tearing through shields.

Bots and bugs were very similar in the first game. On higher levels, bots had a bit more armor, but they were fairly similar in how they fought. If anything, this sequel ramped up the faction differences.

Bots will just throw a bigger guy at you, add another 2 inches to his steel plating and pray that you don't have an anti-tank weapon. Devastators, Rocket Devastators, Heavy Devastators, Scout Striders, Hulks, Beserkers, Annihilator Tanks, Factory Striders are all armored and 3 of those explicitly require anti-tank. Only Commodores and Detector Towers can call in bot drops.

Bugs, on the other hand, are soft and squishy. Hive Guardians are armored but will clam up when under fire and can still be easily damaged from the front. Chargers don't require anti-tank but should be killed with it regardless because it takes forever shooting their butts. Bile Titans need anti-tank. But bugs swarm, and their tactics reflect that. Anything that isn't a Charger, Bile Titan, Bile Spewer or Stalker will call in a bug breach.

I am very excited for the Illuminate.

Standard troops actually can but I think it's a very small chance thing, similar to how scavengers/pouncers are the most likely to do it, and hunters/warriors will maybe do it if you let them live too long and get far enough away. The rule of thumb is the small guys are the most likely to call breaches, Brood Commanders too obviously but I think this is only really if you kill their detachment of warriors first which I never do.

Troops also, probably because they're smarter than bugs, will try sooner if one fails. I took out the commissar and then a troop tried, then a rocket raider, then a troop, so on. It was like whack a mole on a party of 8 bots.

You know, I stand corrected. The raider troops will call them in, just not as reliably as the *Commissars. Maybe that's more reason to try ballistic shield tactics. If they're too busy shooting an invulernable target, they may forget to call their friends in.
 
OK since I can still drill a hole in my wall to watch, separate bedrooms separate bathrooms separate garages separate cars.

Also no joint filing of taxes.
 
Used the purifier in one dive today. Shot a hulk twice in the back at close range and it died. This is far from thorough testing but has anyone observed range and charge time making a difference? The item description suggests it would.
 
This Tuesday's balance patch is make-or-break for me. I hope it's not a nerf-fest again.
 
Ok, so who of you faggots told this stunning and brave game reporter that Helldivers 2 is a RPG instead of a multiplayer PvE game?

Hello Arrowhead!
The steam forum is on fire, calling you all flavors of gay, your warbond is being mocked, and your jewtube shills are getting called ballwashers no matter how much they try and pretend the pummeler and verdict are secretly imba. The new warbond didn't bump the players and the peak is down almost 40k since the sony kerfuffle. Everything feels like crap and I uninstalled the game.
What say you?

>meta-textual satire
Was going to get HellDivers 2 till I heard about the steam fuckery but I'm guessing this "meta-textual satire" in HellDivers is just surface-level stuff?

It's just Starship Troopers. The most you ever hear is the propaganda on the TV in your ship.

Exactly. See this is another thing that prevents me from getting the game is how often I hear they attempt to "Remove the fun." to my knowledge this is a purely PvE game right? No PvP at all?

SO WHO FUCKING CARES ABOUT BALANCE?! Just make it fun you faggots. What, do you think the AI are going to write you angry letters or something because of the players curbstomping them? Who cares, they're fucking robots. They ain't got no soul.

Jokes aside, yeah I don't get it. Again, it would make sense if this game had any kind of PvP component to speak of but when your opponents are all AI I don't get this need to "Balance" the game like the fucking bots are going to get mad. Just let people play how they want. But no, this weapon is too good? We gotta make it shitty.
