I've dipped in a little but as before the drama, "fun nerfs", **** war bonds and too many "Tonka toy" looking armour pieces and not doing anything interesting with helmets, etc. along with an increasingly poor attitude/approach from at least one of the developers has impacted on the fun of the game too much.

I’d wait for the next few patches and/or the new enemy. It’s still fun, but not as fun as before their recent patch onslaught.
still think the first and second warbond are the best, in that order
I'll give it a pass then.
I normally just go for the primary weapons in each warbond and then by the extra bits after when I have medals to spend

I was wondering this too - heard that a lot of the gamerbase is leaving so not sure if it's worth getting at the moment or to wait a bit (was thinking of getting it)Worth jumping back into the game? seems liked they nerfed the fun out of the game
not sure it matters if the gamebase is leaving as long as you can get a squad together

True! I'm thinking about upgrading/building next PC so it may be one of the first things I get because I enjoyed the first one, evne though this looks totally different

yea needs more content now. doing the same things over and over gets a bit monotonous.
The first 50 hours i spent in the game, when you are unlocking new weapons, new stratagems, and experiencing new missions and planets, was probably the most fun i've had in a game in almost a decade. Totally worth it.True! I'm thinking about upgrading/building next PC so it may be one of the first things I get because I enjoyed the first one, evne though this looks totally different
100%. Better now it is hot patched to remove the bugs spawning right next to the drill but even completing everything it still greys out an objective on extract and gives you one star, really bugged.
I'm trying not to be drawn in by the doom narrative suirrounding the game but they need to not release stuff that isn't finished/is buggy and revert the nerfs. Its PvE for christsakes.

Thanks mate, excited to give it a go!
It's part and parcel of any live service game, people moan, devs make changes, people moan about changes, eventually game dies except to the hardcore crowd. That can however be a fair few years down the line and if you're not 'sweaty' about gaming then you may just roll with it and enjoy it regardless of meta ********.

I love playing off meta. Makes the game harder and more enjoyable for me that way. I still run the standard Liberator, the Ajudicator, the Senator (revolver) just because they feel meaty and enjoyable to use.
Play the battle royales if you want to play hyper competitive shooters, but Helldivers with your mates should just be fun

It’s good fun and it’s tough. Personally I want a difficulty 10, something the devs have said they are working on.
Agreed! Some of those final second chaotic jumps onto the pelican were fantastic.
