Helldivers 2

I imagine they are trialling the price for cross over stuff. Killzone items were very expensive in comparison to "normal" ones. at least I am hoping that.
This is the first warbond that has nothing I care to try in it, and is the most expensive! Three guns which are all in categories that have lots, so are just flavour/minorly different to current offerings. No strategem, no booster, no grenade, no support weapon. It is the least content in a warbond so far, which follows the on going theme of getting less each month for the same price, but they are also increasing the price of it.
I wish products would stop watering down their own IP by doing cross overs. Sure, create "inspired by" stuff, but actual "here's a skin from other IP" is garbage imo.
I want to be a helldiver in my helldivers game.

I think that was actually another Halo reference, rather than necessarily being the permanent name of the category...
I don't mind them charging a little more for a crossover warbond if theres a reasonable amount of content, and this warbond is priced much more effectively than the Killzone stuff was.
Honestly, if this is how they're gonna do crossovers, I'm fine with that. It's additional content and stuff that the devs and wider community obviously want, that costs a little more due to the licensing and stuff; without being rediculously expensive.
Compare this to the battlepass or some of the stuff in Fortnite, and these seem pretty cheap, especially as you can earn them ingame without spending anything, it'll just take time.
Honestly, with the Xbox launch, if there was a perfect time for a Halo crossover, it's now; and this is a perfect calling cry for all the fans of old ODST/Halo etc who've been underserved by that franchise for quite a few years at this point.

just saw the trailer for Helldivers 2 into the unjust.
looks really good, new map layouts inc new underground tunnels , new mission type escorting a mobile drill and new terminid monster types.
the new warbond sounds good with an incendry assault rifle as well...... i notice they say its a premium warbond. is this what they are normally called or does that mean 1500 credits is the new warbond cost now, and the idea that the halo one was just because of licencing was BS?

Not at all, ive pugged all my progress.
I'm talking about the Unjust stuff linked above. I played through a good bit of the game with randoms.
They are all "premium warbonds" except the one included for free afaik.

except the Halo one which is Legendary (I looked it up after posting).
hopefully that will be the only legendary one (1500 credits)
I wonder if the warbond token which now comes with the premium version works for the halo one? if it does it will be a bit of extra value for those upgrading
Yes I meant except for the Halo one, since that is a crossover one and has been branded legendary.
The warbond token does not work for it, it is just a 1000 super credit voucher basically, instead of forcing the user to unlock steeled veterans.
