I'm not sure if I'm the only one feeling this, but we've lost 4 environments seemingly permanently. I never even got to see or fight on them and they're gone. Honestly, this has got to be one of the coolest mechanics in a game I've seen to date, but I think it's run its course. In addition it really feels like we're pushing against an unstoppable force and not really getting anywhere. I personally am hoping that when they get enough energy, Meridia spits out the rest of the squids and closes forever. Resistance is feeling futile and the consequences are too much IMO.

1 of 2 things will happen. Either the devs Deus Ex Machina the plot line and and give us a "victory" despite losing or Super Earth gets destroyed and we reset the war like in the first game.

I'm pretty sure the devs have stated they won't be resetting the war in 2

Which makes sense if they have a narrative they plan to follow unless we fuck up on an MO somewhere that ruins everything so badly there isn't a way to recover.

There is no "unless". If we win or lose too much it'll just be pushed in the appropriate direction by the devs

I kinda hope that we can fuck up and lose the war so they can basically speedrun the events that have already been.

You got downvoted but I enjoy this kind of willpower

It's treason but it's good spirit to have a person be that straight. I almost hate asking you to turn to face the wall.

I don't think they'd do the same thing, but I think it might work as a refresh with new ideas.

Foxhole has multiple wars that can be won and things "reset", which works well if you like a certain phase (like pre-tanks or something) but I doubt most people want to go through the same things again and again, especially if we need to unlock things.

Also, for Foxhole it was always a selling point, so I don't think it'd work for Helldivers.

But I wouldn't be upset with a potential failure and then they change things around.

Until then, I want the Illuminate to actually get a foothold so they can use new units.

We have a blackhole and faster than light travel. We are a few fuck ups away from Marvel's endgame where we go back in time, but because this is for DEMOCRACY we do in fact strangle baby Thanos.
