I. TAKE BACK MALEVELON CREEK | HELLDIVERS 2 Cinematic [4K]

Our rivers of blood will flood out the automatons.
Absolutely had a blast filming this one. Most footage was captured at insane resolutions, so my 4090 definitely got limit tested this week! Big thanks to all my guys in Mischief and Misfits. Join our discord!

The inquisition would like to know your location.

[@DataFist4]

That sounds like Herasy to me brother!!!

[@Dexter01992]

I love that these shots are just the game itself. No special filters. No third party animations. No console commands to add more enemies on the screen to make battles look bigger than what they are ingame. It's just how the game plays.

[@TacoNightShenanigans]

Thats the biggest part of it! It's already so much like a movie. All I did was color correct to get blacks a bit darker and a slight blue filter to help drive home the creek feel. I wish I could've captured more on helldiver difficulty, but I think you can imagine how chaotically hard it would be to get shots like this hahaha!

[@Dexter01992]

@@TacoNightShenanigans Just yesterday out of pure randomness, I saw one of those jumping bugs get on top of a high stone as we were running away. It then proceeded to make some "Target acquired" animation, only for a swarm of bugs to walk out of both corners of such stone, like it was acted on purpose like a cutscene. I know it was all random, but man, this game's chaotic nature give all sorts of movies vibes.

[@whatisupmyfellowamericans8808]

@@Dexter01992 Hell yeah, just today, I was doing a bug hunt on one of those closed in maps and I swear a charger looked at me, saw which way I was running, and avoided running at me to block me off so the rest of the swarm could get me. And then there was the time a bot warrior baited me out with an easy shotgun kill and the commisar _threw a grenade at his own men_ to get me. Sometimes the AI just straight up outsmarts us, I guess.

I was a part of the initial push on the Creek, back when most players were still messing around on the bug planets. Honestly been really fun to watch the community rally around what was once not much more than a footnote in the larger conflict, something that was only ever really talked about in memes at the time.

[@TacoNightShenanigans]

Thanks you for you service Legend, Mavelon Creek maybe as fallen but Democratie still keep fire!!

[@thezombiesatemyhomework7412]

On Malevelon Creek, the Helldivers stood tall, Their metal and might, a beacon to all. But the Automatons came, with lasers and steel, And the planet was lost, despite their ordeal. They fought and they fell, in the smoke and the flame, But their courage was steadfast, their resolve the same. Though the battle was lost, and the toll was high, The Helldivers' remaining refused to die. For every loss, they would honor the cost, And fight on for freedom, no matter the odds. Their eyes on the stars, their hearts full of fire, They'd take back Malevelon, and do what's required. Though the war rages on, and the outcome's unsure, The Helldivers stand firm, their purpose secure. For in their hearts, the fight never ends, And they'll always remember their fallen, their friends. So here's to the Helldivers, the brave and the bold, Who fight and who fall, their stories untold. But that Helldiver's spirit, it can't be killed, And the fight isn't over while there's oil to spill.

I remember my first deployment to the Creek, never was the super destroyer so quiet during FTL. Even on the way down usually filled with speaches or songs, the silence was almost deafing. When we landed Captain C1 brought us together in a circle maybe 40 meters from the objective, he didn't say a word. He put his com channel on open yelled "For Super Earth!" then played his war mix. Curated from the classical music archives. Heh, Probably not regulation but that was Cap. Ever slaughter clanckers to the Billy Joel's "Rebel Yell?" Yep.
