Yeah same man, I hope I can get my friends from Helldivers to also get into this. Especially with the new update this looks really worth the time!

@@norman4588 Fuck, Agni prime, can't see shit, running though the small grassy area, when all of a sudden those small mine bastards start blowing up everyone in front of you.

[@TheOnlySillySocks]

yes I know the movie. Tell me he wasn't an idiot for doing that? How are you going to keep your tickets if all your team is dying from unseen snipers, like you clearly see in the video? How are going to fight something you cant see? How is it good for gameplay? The literal only thing it does is immerse you in the sensation of defeat, great to put in a video game to waste time and get nothing, exactly what gamers want... Defending it just doesn't make sense. It is not enjoyable or in any way makes the game more fun. Actively pushes people away from playing it. But I guess some people don't play games to play them, just to relive a particularly dumb movie moment where your experience is either watch your team mates die or yourself.

[@Godsend_666]

So I did get to 100 before the revamp system. So going in and being able to re-enlist right then was another grind I didn't have to do. Now I can grind new levels with the new system and weapon progression. The reinforcement aspect does make you think before you do things and work as a team. I remember starting on Hard with the new system but without the proper weapons and support we didn't manage to extract. All in all I had fun with it looking to play some more when my weekend starts.

[@TheOnlySillySocks]

Those are 2 points I strongly disagree. Folks don't want to grind because its more grind, but if it benefits the game with the feedback and improves the levelling down the road, all should be for it. And as you said, now you can focus on the other grind aspects, but I hope you don't add to the folks just sitting on roofs or walls endlessly shooting to level up your weapons and actually help the team to win. Only lost 2 matches so far, 1 was because of traitors eating at the tickets, and the other was because no one cared if we won or lost, maybe because they don't need that xp, and only needed the weapon xp, so we lost. Not being willing to grind again under the new player conditions does not help the game to improve, and focusing on your grind in a team game hurts the team. But hey, I still want to people to have fun on it and I hope you have a good weekend.

I think Ranger is realy good for a team. Utility - Scan Pulse, Scan Beacon. Perks - Trauma Auto-injector, Bloodlust. Ask from Medic for Fists aid stims. And go in front line to mark bugs for other team members.

[@TheOnlySillySocks]

Sniper has scan dart and scan ping and scan grenade. Still don't see the point, sorry.

[@MidanMagistrate]

@@TheOnlySillySocks Ranger is amazing for rushing in and harassing bugs with either the Carbine or SMG, it's also aided me amazingly in rushing past a horde to revive multiple fallen allies where a medic wouldn't have been able to fast enough

[@felix-gj4ut]

also the ranger with a shotgun is not to be underestimated. Suprising amount of fun and youre able to solo units like tigers

[@TheOnlySillySocks]

Medic has revive dart, revive from far away and the bot travels. Maybe a less experienced medic perhaps? A decent one can get a little closer, shot the down guy with a revive dart, and 180 back to cover. But again, yes you can have fun and do some stuff, but I just personally don't see the point.

[@j.kanada5196]

I agree, I normally prefer to snipe, but the Ranger's playstyle is awesome. Mobile af & their booster is actually as useful as the snipers. What it lacks in verticality it makes up for in horizontal movement.

[@KlyosXA]

I kinda feel bad because I like the Starship Trooper IP but Helldivers just swooped into the front of the line and I am enjoying that so much. I often wonder would I be having the same level of enjoyment if SST released first...

Great. Another one is that's going to be up on a roof endlessly shooting pistol shots xD just don't forget to help the team out if you are going to do it. I wouldn't but hey, not everyone can make the choice to be free ;) just kidding. Have a great day.

I grinded all the way up to 100lvl before they reset again. It makes me feel sad & the content is so normal. The combat not as good as helldivers. I guess I stick to helldiver for now until I have good reason to play SST again. Thanks for the update review

[@CragScrambler]

[@goneja757]

This game is killing my CPU and GPU, why game? Why??? :(

[@fooddelivery920]

cuz its the same engine as GTA San Andreas lol

[@user-pw8ff3mf3y]

Rangers need to be able to move fast, so they can actually be useful on the battlefield and hunt specials like fire bugs and grenadiers. as much as I dont want to agree, engineers should have a cap of like 5-6 additional turrets overall. I love it but its too op. medics need to be able to res much faster and their dart gun should count as a res albeit at a much lower xp amount. snipers are whatever but nerfing the 50cal sniper to have that pathetic amt of ammo was dumb. havent tried the reworked bastion classes yet but im sure theres more balancing.

[@aaroncall5274]

They should have just increased difficulty, made side missions, created new maps and optimized it more. I don’t feel like learning a bunch of new shit and grinding out classes. What we have now is a more complicated game that still runs and looks sub par.

[@nootsgaming5517]

Honestly looking forward to the full launch of this and I hope they bring it to console because i would pay for it twice.

[@DavidAkhter]

Love the new update and the effort the devs put in. You know what would be another great addition? Some more blood and gore after shooting bugs and the environment becoming a battlefield mess like in Helldivers. This game has an easy attraction over that game becuase of the 16 players lineup but just needs a few tweaks here and there to be good competition.

[@TheOnlySillySocks]

It's going to take more than a few tweaks. Galactic war, at least 4 more maps for the galactic war to have variety, and that's probably going to take a lot of time. Plus, optimization. Agni is still in need of a lot of work.

[@Zapjuice_]

Rangers are great ore/gas runners and in combination with meds/stims, are fantastic medics.

[@TheOnlySillySocks]

Ore and gas running is the engineer the best hands down because of the backpack slot. And healing is the best with medics. That people can find some use for the ranger is fine. If you have fun, its fine. But in terms of team work, they are always outshined by some other kit in any job. It's a question of can a team really work without a specific class. And Teams work without demolisher and ranger. But snipers, engineers, medics and even the guardian to hold down choke points are of the most use and hurt the team much more if playing without them.

[@dravenmaster7859]

Ranger is the best class Now I can roleplay as Doomguy

[@aaroncall5274]

I honestly just don’t feel like upgrading a bunch of classes after I already did that with the original three. That and there’s still optimization and gameplay issues. I might come back and play more again but for now I’m good.

[@j.kanada5196]

I actually have really enjoyed the new class system. They all have distinct uses and are actually deeper than I thought it would have been.

[@PaulusHutagalung]

Demolisher is not useful at medium to long range, but op at up close. really useful when the horde comes with aoe barrage combined with grenade launcher.

[@hartantoanggoro]

Too bad dev nerfs the OP chem grenade and makes it exclusive to engineer.

[@jokerledger5400]

Another case of unfortunate, like dauntless before monster hunter world swoop in. I played this for a bit when it first come out, was fun for a few match but not enough to hold me.

[@Khanh-Tran]

proud of spending more than 600h in mhw, now i'm spending almost 200h in hd2 and willing to spend more 1000h+

[@Rysdad1]

They better be glad their game came out before helldivers. At this point they might as well gear this game in a completely different style of game to like building bases or galaxy building/defense bc helldivers destroyed any chance this had

[@geronimo5537]

then they copied helldivers by adding in an annoying low ticket system

[@kyrious643]

did they ever add weak points?

[@TheOnlySillySocks]

Considering they forgot to add the scope on the sniper on release... XD

[@Longus-xy1fu]

I just can't try to play it. Helldivers 2 is just too good 😭😭

[@hartantoanggoro]

Sometimes Easy is not the right difficulty, it spawns 5 tiger during hive mission immediately while your armor practically shredded and wasting a lot of tickets. Yet normal difficulty by far is the easiest.

[@jamespetersen7214]

Not a fan of this update at all. I mainly played Hunter for a reason. To take out the big bugs from up high. Not saying you can't still do that now but as a sniper we are limited to ammo. No more ammo canisters. They took that away from the hunter/sniper class. Another thing I dislike right now is the modes we have. I again mainly played horde mode. And I hate Agni Prime map with a passion. But sometimes now with the update that's the map we get stuck with and I refuse to play it. Give us map selection. Not sure why they took away things from classes that worked before. And don't get me started on the new bug which I call, " The rolling Tumbleweed". Who thought that was a good idea for a bug? From what I read on social media, most wanted a flying bug or I think it was called the mortar bug that shoots fire. Not sure. I like the falling plasma from the sky. Looks great. But the tumbleweed needs to go. That's just me

[@felix-gj4ut]

tbh, the hunter was kinda op I think its we great we got such a big update But i agree, the rolly poly sucks

[@jamespetersen7214]

@@felix-gj4ut Hunters were the ones to go out get kill the big bugs. That was there job and I enjoyed that part. Don't get me wrong. It's great that they finally gave us a big update but to take away from each class, I think was wrong. That's what made each class what it was. Now they feel useless. What sense does it make now to play sniper class that now I have to go back into the base for ammo?

[@felix-gj4ut]

@@jamespetersen7214 i think its ok, all you have to do is stay somewhat close to the base and then grab ammo. Its Annoying, sure, but i can deal with it

[@jamespetersen7214]

@@felix-gj4ut Very true. But for it takes the fun out of playing that class and I am not a fan of the others. I tried playing the others before and found them not for me. It's like why bother hunting out the bigger bugs if I know I could run out of ammo now.

[@hartantoanggoro]

The randomised map and randomised difficulty is actually the way for the game to reduce server lags and massive numbers of rooms. Expecting the game to gain a lot of players because of Helldivers 2 only almost fell into the gutter because of Helldivers 2, this game is not bad but since it's still in development and going really slow update most of the time, I don't think the game can live up to its expectations unless development has something on their sleeves.

[@triplenator]

No new map?

[@TheOnlySillySocks]

Unfortunately not.

[@noonyabeezniss4911]

heck take another comment for engagement and the algorithm, solid video m8 i give the update a 5.7 out of 10, if it wasn't so rough and unpolished it would be a 7 for me

[@noonyabeezniss4911]

this update is a complete mess and made the game much worse, and the playerbase will fall off to dead meaning 50 players to 250 and will be terrible to play like it has been after every update, this isnt good enough to keep people half the stuff doesn't even function properly like the flamethrower which they pushed out anyway new map selection is cancer and im sure they just created it to force people to play Agni Prime as 98.5% of the playerbase hates the map as it runs like complete azz, why force people to play only one mission for 1 HOUR?!?!?! horde dies when AP comes around and its all i play game is good but the devs are beyond awful, so much to fix for this update but we all know it takes them months to do anything i think this game will die before they finish it

[@TheOnlySillySocks]

I didn't want to get into the maps but yeah, valaka is so much better imo. Agni was a real swing and miss. But yeah owi have a history of doing this. Throw it out into the game and spend months fixing it. In the meanwhile folks leave.

[@ExternalTooth]

OWI routinely ruins their other games like Squad with new updates, so can't say I'm surprised. Disappointed but not surprised in the least.

[@geronimo5537]

the game was dead prior to the update. this is the only life it has had for some time.

​@@TheOnlySillySocks funny thing is that before engine change on UE4 those animations were played correctly. After engine change more and more bugs are getting add in. Sadly it became unpleyable for me.
