Loving this so far, Starship Troopers nostalgia in overdrive. I could see a DLC that has classes working well in this too...
Its ace isnt it. I only bought a PS5 last month and ive been playing this for two weeks and its just mindless fun and the community doesnt seem to be toxic. Level 5s can play with level 50s without that much of an issue,
Jumped on for a few hours at the weekend having not played much for a while. Still good fun although seemed to be dying easy on hard. Whats the current bug killing meta build? Incendiary breaker still the go to?
Im on about 30 hours and its become a bit too samey now. I play with someone which has definitely made it a lot better, i imagine if i wasnt playing with her it would have died for me 15 hours ago.
They need to add some content tbh. New planets are fine but we need vehicles and new missions.

Finally completed Helldiver difficulty, need a decent squad with the right weapons but it’s still bugged to hell so many times it crashes or does random stuff which is pretty infuriating when you have done all the objectives and have the samples and can’t extract!
Anyone gone back to this this week? I saw a video of the update on Insatgram and I thought it was some sort of mod or AI. Looks tremendous, might have to dust it off and spread some democracy.

I've been reading that there might be some kind of Killzone crossover coming soon. That has certainly piqued my interest!

The new tripods are ****holes - that beam they have - it's almost an insta kill on you at times! Did an evac with a mate and a few randos - had 3 turn up, and another 2 waiting in the wings, it was a hectic extraction.
One thing I'm not keen on, is how they've clearly changed the super credits you find, so you feel like you're being pushed into buying them with real money. When it launched, you could easily get nearly a thousand of them in an evenings play - but since they introduced the first (maybe second) set of premium items - you'd struggle to get that 1000 credits in a week of play.
The last 2 or 3 premium tiers have also been pointless imo - either just skins, or a slightly different looking guns, that have the same stats as default kit. And locking strategems behind a super credit paywall is a bit of a poor show imo.

From what I've seen the pricing for it is pretty disgusting.

its horrendous nearly 15 quid
They've listened to the outcry from the community and released the remainder of the items for free. As for the tripods if you use the HMG and aim where the legs connect to the body it takes them down in no time at all. Have to say though the performance of HD2 on PS5 is really struggling it feels at times that we must be getting around 30-40fps when things are getting frantic which is a shame.
Tremendous update, can't put it down would highly recommend it to you all that haven't logged in for a while and don't worry about the Killzone 2 stuff behind the paywall the auto rifle is pretty meh!
Think I was about level 20 when I stopped playing. Will my current weapons be ok or would throwing them at the enemies be better and I need to spend a load of dosh on warbonds?
Current weapons that you have will be absolutely fine - if you can try and grind for the exploding crossbow/grenade pistol from the democratic detonation warbond as they're great for all factions - then I would work on getting the purifier for automatons and bugs (nice to have but not essential).
Have fun spreading democracy!
