Hey there i to share a little story of the founding of the Breaddivers within the 505th after the Annihilation of the 101st Hell Batallion. Enjoy docs.google.com/document/d/1g1329heHkVCfb8xyIDOSyRPu3FplqK_ecBl4Fwwc4JA/edit?usp=sharing****
DeathSoldier77 skulls and bones of the SES soldier of redemption reporting in we took mortar bay we need every helldiver to aid in CHOOHE WE ONLY HAVE ONE DAY LEFT WE NEED THIS PLANET FOR THE WAY POINT TO THE VALDIS SECTOR TO GET CLOSER TO CYBERSTAN PLEASE MAKE THE REPORT SO FINALLY TAKE THIS PLANET!
The only cape I tend to wear other than the commemorative one is the Drape of Glory, which I wore during my deployment there. It holds a special place in my heart and has ever since
@arcshadowstorm if memory serves me correctly the only cape I donned prior to the Creek commemorative one was the standard one you get when you first start. Not that I don't like any others, I do. But the Creek one is my favorite
Melevelon creek was truly a *"you had to be there"* moment it was such a threat when thier wasnt anything else to worry about like the Gloom,jetpack brigrade and even before the meridia situation it was great and im glad to have fought on that rock
@@Puttis be happy you missed it, your mind is not filled with the horrors i have witnessed from that rock, i was stationed there with my brother when the ential assualt happened. since that day i did not leave that planet untill it was liberated, i lost my brother and so many others in the most horrific ways possible. when we lost the creek my super destroyer left me on the surface they thought i was dead but i wasnt, i was hunted, captured, totured and hunted again after i escaped my prison.
Man, the creek was something else. Nothing quite like getting overwhelmed by red lasers hitting you from every direction whilst you lose your sense of direction in the dark jungle as berserkers close in on you, chainsaws revving. That place was home to about 90% of my total failed missions in this game, you just had to be there
It was my 2nd planet I went to on our 3rd day of the automaton war. Allies called for aid and I answered. I served there every single day fighting tooth and nail for every inch of land I could take. I've seen thousands of us die around me. I held my squad leader in my arms as he bled to death infront of me. Never forget what we gave to take back our home
not to mention all the leftover misfired ordinance and still-armed landmines that litter those forests. still to this day the creek is not a safe place to be one with nature. aside from the physical hazards you also get this eerie lingering feeling that the battle is still being waged there, like business hasnt finished. its not a peaceful planet, even if it feigns peace
SES: Princess of Twilight Creeker, here. I joined during the fall of the Creek (first battle), and fought for its liberation for 2 whole months. At the time of the second battle, there was only a handful of divers (when I was on) dedicated to holding that piece of rock. The defense had almost failed daily, but we always managed to hold it. Ended up making a lot of friends defending it, as you were likely to match in the same party. Our fellow divers actually despised us for holding it as long as we did, even leading to real articles being written about how upset people were people were still fighting for the creek, and wanted us to just let it fall. We refused. It got so bad, that after all the fighting, there were whispers that people were intentionally TKing those who held the Fallen Heroes Vengeance Cape. But when that final MO came in, by god did we storm it. So many from other fronts redeployed, many having only experienced bug combat, my friends and I needed to assist them in the best ways we could. Many lives were lost on the Creek, many more were born. For the Creek!
I remember the creeker hate. What they didn’t understand is that we just couldn’t leave the planet. To turn your back on the world that so many millions have died on and just letting it fall was absolutely unacceptable. Too many of us had oaths of vengeance that could not go unfulfilled.
My first drop onto a clanker world was during the very first battles on the Creek. And I stayed there until we were forced to retreat. Later I would be present as the Super Flag was raised over Liberty Point declaring the planet once more human soil
“The Creek may have brought an end to the 1st Helldiver Honor Guard. But I am proud to see the amount of Divers who picked back up the standard and charged headfirst into the planet. If it wasn’t for those brave Divers fighting on when others had fallen we wouldn’t be here today. Remember the Creek, Fight for the Fallen!” -Death Captain Koscheski
@deluluvid This is what I like to see, my hard earned money and war bonds going to teaching our kids the real dangers of freedom hating bots and bugs alike.
When the trees started to sing, I broke out in a cold sweat. I didn’t understand what was happening, I had no idea where it was coming from. I was just a rookie back then, cannon fodder. One of my first steps into Helldivers 2. That confusion deeply unsettled me, and it was only later that I realized it was the robots singing. Robots. Cold, unfeeling, SINGING Clankers. Those who weren’t there will never understand why this planet holds such historical significance.
@@49thR.A.V.E.NPlatoon we'll never forget about your bravery and we'll never cease to avenge your fallen comrades. My life for super earth, damn the clankers
As a veteran of the creek, this video brings me joy and PTSD at the same time, I’m glad these new recruits will learn the history of this battle and know the horrors the clankers commit daily, but seeing the surface of this planet again chills me to my core
I joined about a month ago and I think What happened at the creek cannot be happening again! That’s why we need to focus our efforts towards conquering Cyberstan!
Having personally experienced Malevolon Creek and to see so many videos covering its history is such a surreal thing. It makes me proud to be a veteran and continue to do my duty.
A creek veteran myself, I was a cadet when I got there. I dived over and over. I felt alive, but terrified. Fighting off armies on the creek with my friends are some of my best, but most traumatizing memories.
Feelings mutual, The creek was the first bot planet I fought on. My account was glitched during my first day and I couldn’t get xp or level up but I could still get to higher mission difficulties. Stuck as level one cadet with starter kit while doing 7+ difficulty missions on the creek was one of the most fun, alive, and terrifying experiences in game for me.
This probably is a bit of a longshot, but dropping into Malevelon Creek gave me the same feeling as watching the Umbara Arc from the Clone wars the first time. Just that oppressive, claustrophobic "Any tree could have an entire platoon of horrors behind it" as trees and bushes get destroyed around you, while you call in an eagle strike in the desperate hope you can stall the Automaton advance for just long enough to get out of the forest and into open ground where your squad can use our heavy weapons is an experience.
I remembered that day like it was yesterday, Malevelon Creek. Mission hazard 5, objective was simple, get in, blow up 3 enemy bases, and get out. I was then Chief rank Diver, our squad leader, Frank, was skilled warrior with Marshal rank, but there was one Diver that shouldn't been there, a Cadet, Jerry. It's still a mystery for me how he get there, propably he was friend of one of the squad members, but with friend or without, he must have been there of he's own free will, and to select not only hazard 5 automatons mission, but also on most brutal planet in the galaxy, this guy must has balls of steel. Squad leader selected a drop zone, and we have entered our hellpods, we didn't know the hell that was whaiting for us on the surface. Right after we have left our hellpods, we have fallen in to enemy trap, first diver died before he even left his pod. It was horror, we have throw every stratagem we have on them, I saw on my own eyes Marshal Frank geting torn apart by enemy minigun, reinforcment was called every few seconds. We have lost 6 Divers only on drop zone. Jerry somehow survived that hell, terrified by what he just witness. I have promised him that i'll get us out of this safe and in one pice, and we shall all be back in our houses on Liberty Day. The rest of the mission went smoothly, at least as much as it can be on Malevelon Creek, we have completed objective losing 9 more Divers. We had reached the LZ and called the extraction. And then, tragedy happend. When shuttle arived, I had lower my guard just for a second, to walk on to the ship, and then, a beserker grabbed Jerry's leg, and pulled out of the shuttle. I tried to grab him, to pull him back inside, but it was too late. From the shuttle, I saw him beeing ripped in half, I saw his insides becoming his outsides while he was still alive. When we have returned to the ship we got the news, Malevelon Creek was liberated, and we were one of the last squads that camed back. It was glorious day, but I wasn't celevrating, I wasn't feeling proud, or happy, I felt sorrow. Jerry died because I lower mu guard, that should be me, not him, it was he's first mission. That day I have promised myself, that i shall go inside the shuttle only when I make sure that every one is safe, and I'll stop these rustbucket scums, even if that means going to the heart of Cyberstan, armed only in Super Earth baner. That's why I have created Sons of Malevelon Creek, to be our first and last line of defence. FOR SUPER EARTH! AND MALEVELON CREEK! Rest in peace Jerry.
It's heartbreaking. All those forsaken bots must be erradicated. I'll make sure they get what they deserve, and all Helldivers will. For Super Earth and Democracy !
Ah yes, the creek. You couldn't stand your ground and kill all the bots, you had to hit and run. You learned to disengage, or die; a lesson too many didn't learn, especially the newer hell-divers with limited access to anti-armour equipment, like me. Taught me to avoid thick growth when trying to reposition, hit hard and fast. Lessons that served me well fighting the bugs and squids.
laser cannons, railguns, autocannons, breaker, shield packs, and nearly every sentry were the paramount starter pack to survive the creek when i was there. if you dodnt use em, you were guaranteed to have been shredded in the early moments of the fighting
I made do with the spear. Everything else: orbital laser, 120, and 380 bombardment because you don’t walk into a bot base without killing everything first
Railgun and Autocannons, for sure, I was the air support and orbital support of my team. Nicknamed the anti-lorax since the aim was to clear the tree lines and yield fire support.
I’m a veteran of the creek, my most memorable deployment was before the fall of the creek, it was a solo mission where I had to take down a walker. I stealthed my way past 3 or more patrols and then I saw it, the walker was massive, bigger than a mountain, and so I pulled out my stratagem and threw it. Perfect hit, then I hurried my ass to extraction while being pursued by no less than 300 clankers. Never was I so glad to extract.
The Creek was my first deployment as a Helldiver after its fall. I spent days in that jungle listening to the trees speak binary. That became my boot camp. I learned to be a Helldiver in those purple tinted mists. I found others and taught them how to fight the bots. Soon I became one with The Creek. I became the Tree that Spoke of Democracy and Freedom. I had the pleasure of watching the Automatons learn the meaning of fear, quivering in their mechanical shells the way they had once done to me. Turnabout was fair play and when I emerged from the Creek, I brought that same terror against every enemy of Managed Democracy since.
Creek was the best training for the current veterans we could have wished for. Doesnt get more hard than it does on the Creek, hope to return to that hell hole one day!
Agreed. I'd fight for the planet again in a heart beat. Outside the game, as players - We didn't have access to a lot of gear that current players have now. Most divers I fought with were barely lv 15 when the cap was 50. Because of this; The Creek taught us to pick up any weapon you can find and fight, because that's all you got when your resupply is waiting approval (cooldown). It honestly was quite the learning experience
I was working three jobs while my friends streamed Creek lvl 9 missions. Two were veterans of the first war. For one guy it was his second mission. For another, it was his first. Several others assisted throughout. It was so incredible, I bought my first gaming laptop and the game... But it didn't arrive and finish installing until the day after the Creek was liberated for the last time. I still roleplay as the only Creek citizen my friends saved after 17 days behind enemy lines. I don't have the cape because I didn't bleed for that planet... I was bled for.
The creek was the second planet I went too. I only had hazard level 2 at the time, and before the third battle had even started I was fighting hazard level 9 missions. The overwhelming amount of bots that would be almost always advancing on my position isn’t something I will soon forget. Airstrikes and barrages were only just enough to keep them at bay, and eventually they’d all be reloading allowing our position to be nearly overrun. We’d hold our ground, but we lost many good helldivers to the relentless onslaught of clankers
I'll never forget doing geological survey missions on the Creek. As soon as we would activate the beacon....the dropships would show up every 3 seconds. Berserkers, tanks, striders, hulks....the Creek was a wild experience
I was freshly enlisted to the creek form the Terminid front. I was use to using sentry turrets then laying back and watching the numbers tick up. It was a sort of peace that I would soon learn to forget. What I thought was going to be another easy day changed the second we got order to go to the creek. I hadn’t expected much since it was to early in the battle for any of the atrocities and the difficulties of the creek had been known. I went in the creek, on helldive for my first bot mission ever. I gained a new sense of respect that day, never had I seen so many shots, cannons, lasers, rifles, and auto canons blasting for 10 minutes. We hadn’t moved but 50 feet from the drop site. In those 10 minutes I had seen numerous deaths of my allies and realized the creek makes you or breaks you. We fought to complete that mission, we went 2 minutes into overtime and had 30 seconds to get halfway across the battlefield to pelican 1. I was the only one to make it. Space cadet Samuel was the first to go, he was ripped in half by a hulk scorcher, I swear I can still hear his screams of pain through the intercoms. Or even 15 seconds after him was corporal rooster he had got shot by a cannon turret we had failed to spot at one of the heavy camps 100 meters to the north. Then just a cadet not 14 hours into service, the poor bastard, I don’t even remember his name he was just thrown at us and told to serve. He didn’t know it would be his first and last service to super earth. He died a hero though when we made it to extraction we were overrun by bots and not having an opening to the ship the cadet used himself. He though precision strike, pulled the pin of a frag grenade and said “I know I wasn’t sent here with plans of making it out, but I know…” that’s all he got out before he was shot down and blown up by his own ordinance. I made it out that day and fought until liberation. I was one of the first on the creek, and I was one of the last the leave the creek. I don’t know what to future entails but I know my service on that damn planet will never leave my soul.
Me and two of my best friends served on creek even tho it was right after we enlisted in the Helldivers. We saw many fellows Helldivers die just in front of us or right behind us. The trees were speaking a strange language too. We escaped from hell and we will still respect and remember all our fallen comrade and friends. When we first choose randomly to land on this planet (because I thought the name "Malevelon Creek" was cool) we didn't knew what we would live... From a creek veteran, thx you !
Ah, Malevelon Creek. My first deployment. The bullshit stacked up so high, you needed wings just to stay above it. Remember holding ground from a vantage point with an MG-43, trying to clear a path for my team to get out of an all-round encirclement. Yeah. Crawling in the mud, firing into the bushes at the first sniff of oil, seeing firsthand just how sick those bots really are. I'll never forget that blue fog for as long as I dive, or the good friends I lost in that water. Thank you for sharing the story of The Creek. These new Helldivers need to know what happened - why we keep fighting.
I still remember deepely fighting in Creek daily with fellow divers coming in and out. But the one I remember the best was fighting in the treeline downhill raining explosive and bullets at the onslaught of the Bots for entire 10mintues plus, MG, AC, AMR, EAT. Everything we have to ensure we hold the upper ground and rain hell on the bots, a payback on what they did to our fellow Helldivers and never to fall back. Rest well to those who path the way to Super Earth victory on Malevelon Creek with their blood and body.
I was on the Creek. Red neon flashes of death, Screaming, so much screaming, Frantic panic from Helldivers watching one of their own fall, all whilst looking at the armed stratagem that rolled to the ground, Explosions, so many explosions. But honestly the greatest aspect was the comradery, Everyone was so damned invested in that planet, it was amazing to be a part of the story that unfolded.
SES Flame of Wrath here: The recruitment drive sparked by the Creek's fall is what drove me to join the Helldivers in the first place. I formally joined just after the TCS was activated, with Operation: Swift Disassembly being my first Automaton-centered major order. I remember being planet-side with my friend and his friend when the Creek was at last liberated. I was initially scared of fighting the bots, but Swift Disassembly changed that. Now, I live for the joy of scrapping those Clankers! Remember the Creek... That is all for now. Flame On!🔥
I fought at the creek... not all of me came back... still fighting... still fighting on that dam rock... i dont think my fight there will ever fully stop... the creek... it... it changed you att the beginning of the war... it changed you by taking a piece of every one who went there... and never letting you go... never letting your soul stop fighting... i think that when i die my soul will be whole again... finaly reunited... but stuck on malevelon creek... fighting forever... forever...
We lost many civillian lives during those wars. The lives of those to whom Democracy and Liberty was their way of life... May the souls and dreams of the fallen forever be remembered. Forever, We March for Malevelon. -The Death Korps of Malevelon Creek
Me and 2 of my buddies were walking along a clear path when we came upon a downed ship of some sort when we were ambushed by a large element of bots, we used the trench created by the downed ship as cover and I laid down fire with my MG. Those clankers were brutal. We were lucky to get out of there alive.
Our team and I fought there. Many a times. Wins and losses don't account for what we endured. That's where the "Skölldivers" were born. They destroyed our homes, we'll destroy their robotic existence.
Proud member of the Crawlers since the first days of the creek. It was hell - I'll usually play a frontal assault role but the creek taught me how to be a ghost just to get the wins in.
im ashamed to admit i was a bug diver during the first battle for the creek. when i heard the nightmare that the creekers were left with, i signed up for the draupnir counterattack. proud to be a part of the second and third battle for malevelon creek
It really can't be understated how unique the creek was. No one had any good stratagems, and no one knew how to play the game. I remember hiding behind a tiny rock praying a patrol wouldn't spot me on difficulty 5.
I remember my squad and I having to cross a lake via a shallow sandbar to get to exfil during an ion storm and with an entire bot brigade with multiple tanks on our six! The campaign for that planet is still my favorite of any I have been a part of!
I was much more inexperienced going into the Creek than coming out. Let's just say that when the alternative is being turned into a pile of ash as the treeline erupts in the blinding red fire of thousands of bots, you learn to keep a low profile. I spent more time on my belly in the mud than I did in training to become a Helldiver, and out of that brutal world of jungle and fire, I came out a true Ghostdiver. Here to relive the glory and horror of fighting on Malevelon Creek, really a once in a lifetime experience
I remember my first moments of the creek, dark, wet, and fear inducing. The first hour, we lost our first man, Jax, who died to an ambush. we gained superiority, and we wrapped him in his cape and gave him all honors, then pressed toward the objective, the 3rd hour we lost our demo man, boomer, while taking out the dropships and hulks, one of those damned jet bots took him out, there was no body left of him but his torn cape will forever be by my side til the day I die. Finally, our medic Abby died during our exfiltration. She heroically kicked a grenade back at those bots and lost her leg in the process. She died in my arms as the pelican took us back home. Those memories are forever with me. Remember the Valor. Remember the devotion. The bravery. The sacrifice. The death. Remember the creek
I was there too. During the Liberation of the creek we came to call it Robot Vietnam. It was on challenging and suddenly it felt like super helldive!! I barely made it alive out of the 3 man group. Then of course a hellbomb laying around goes off and I miraculously survive. We didnt understand it. But during the major order the amount of clankers was insane compared to normal. Explosions. Herds of bezerkers. Smoke everywhere. Tons of crossfire. Sniped by rockets. Craziness was fucking awesome!! Literally it was history in the making. Glad we were there.🎉
I was there… my first deployment was on malevelon creek.. i remember fighting day and night for that planet, i always liked to call it “Space Vietnam..” the vegetation, the automatons firing from the trees, the fact that even if you think you were safe only to see bot deployments and the sight of hulks and tanks being dropped right infront of you.. and i was there for the fall of it too… hundreds of hours lost, but eventually with an taskforce of my friends and randoms i assisted in the reliberation of malevelon creek. Now i wear the cape to remember the creek. For super earth and managed democracy!
I remember a specific moment from this campaign where there was an unending wave of shots coming towards us near a forest and I started laying covering fire into enemy lines with my auto cannon while a fellow Helldiver reloaded for me.... Great times
Broadcast of this momentous campaign, the stories shared, is what drove me to join the Helldivers. Though grand battles of this magnitude have faltered, the war still drags on and though i may have missed the beginning, I will be on the tip of the spear for the finally thrust to secure victory. Our numbers are few and we are spread thin. Maybe this reminder of that passion we once had will reignite the fires of Democracy
Ill never forget being in the Creek with Ion Storms and only having 3 available strategems. I played it so much I would solo it at high difficulty levels because Im a masochist apparently but it helped me make anything else since then seems tame by comparison now. I still have a habit of running off and handling those spawn factories and jamming signals and soloing drops against other factions and missions. Illuminate is cool and all but nowhere as bad as damn rockets one shotting you across the map.
I still enjoy Helldivers a lot, but Malevelon Creek felt like HD2's "you had to be there" moment. All of my friends and I still talk about how chaotic it was when the game was new
Oh man, hearing those words brought back of a flood of memories, malevelon creek.. that damn planet, every mission there could be your last. Sneaking through the bushes, getting ready to throw a 500kg stratagem into their factory camps.. suddenly the march of metal, binary death chants, and an eruption of red lasers.. it was a massacre, I watched the 3 helldivers in front of me get wiped out in mere seconds, in an instant I threw my 500kg stratagem at the advancing army instead of the encampment. As the explosion rang in my ears, and oil and metal rained over me, I realized a glowing red light coming from their death camp.. suddenly a beam shot out and missed me by only a few feet, decimating one of our reinforcements. You just don’t forget these things, you don’t forget the citizens who gave their life for democracy. May god, and democracy be with them, and their souls rest. That place was hell, and I’ll never be able to sleep again without seeing my friends incinerated in front of me
I enlisted shortly after the fall of Malevelon Creek. The helldivers I dropped with talked about those who still fought there despite the planets heavy occupation, called them "Creek crawlers." I didn't understand who they were until I dropped with one in the retaking of the Creek. He never said a word, but his eyes painted a story of oil and blood... After that, I never joked about them again, they were formidable soldiers.
I remember The Creek. Me and my squadmates crawling though bot encampments, so close to enemy tanks, you could reach out and touch them, so close laying in the undergrowth, you could smell the grease. My squadmate was crushed under a Hulks boot. Remember the Creek.
It was such a great time being a Creek Crawler. I had a great time sneaking my way through the rain storm, going behind enemy lines and staying down while my comrades got their attention. No planet quite like the Creek
As a fellow creek veteran I remember well the first mission I did running into a sea of red lasers one of my favorite periods in gaming seeing a chunk of the community refuse to retreat and fight until reinforcements finally reached us was amazing
There was nothing quite like wading waste deep in the middle a muddy river during an ion storm, dumping a belt of covering fire with an MG on slow mode in a torrent of red laser bolts, while the rest of the team dragged themselves up the opposite bank to disappear into the black jungles. Thats when I knew the Creek had made me into something different. between that and preforming breach and clear operations with a full team of breakers by the most danger close napalm strike possible in full confidence, or team loading autocannons in a leapfrog to cut down a full army of bots that just fell from the sky. Malevelon was something special, and creekers are a type of diver that just hit different. Always just a little crazy and unorthodox with a never say die kind of attitude. Picking up that title of "Death Corps of Creek" because when you're cut off from home, you know your life is forfeit. There is no rescue party, no funeral. Just your life and whatever damage you can do to the enemy before they can stop you. Im glad we stood our ground, and I can't wait to show cyberstan what we Creekers saw back then.
i stopped playing a while ago and im being so serious when i saw the name malevalon creek, the memories hit me like a bull dozer that time was so fun yet terrifying
I remember my 1st drop on that planet, red eyes peering from the trees watching my every move. Then heavy Lazer and mortar fire hit us as we scrambled to make the 1st objective. Barely made it out
I never fought on the creek but a lot of good friends did, many didn’t come back, many were scarred forever. Their sacrifice gave me strength on Gaellivare and Imber
In my first battle of the creek, i was just baffles at how little time i had for anything, just ran and dived.. took me about 5 minutes, and 1 death to finally get my startagem weapon... As a not so wise man once said"quite frankly, i enjoyed the war"
Charlie was everwhere. You were at war with not just bots but the jungle itself. When your stratagems were most needed, you opened your stratagem menu to find them suddenly jammed, and you had to retreat into the jungle to engage in guerilla warfare.
I was only 15 hours into my service when the battle for the creek just started. I remember seeing the factory strider for the first time. It seemed like myth at first until I seen it one day through the trees and bushes. There I learned how to fight like a real helldiver. Today, I am sitting at 774 hours of service and still serve and help our new helldivers out.
Hell Commander Yirby of SES Guardian of Honor reporting: I was there...was a nightmare I even went back to do a covert mission and even with all the stealth skills, they're still relentless! I remember waiting for extraction and they sent in Tanks and Mini Walkers that we thought we're all going to die! However we barley made it out alive....unlike the fallen ... Remember the Creek! o7 P.S This was also the very first time I hear their chat.....gives me PTSD from it....
Man, it’s almost been a year since going to Malevelon Creek. Wasn’t deployed there initially but went when got serious during the first Battle of the Creek. Been apart of the effort to push them back since and never gave in. Even when only 2,000 of us tried to take it back, never gave up hope we would claim the creek. I wear my cape to this day to never forget, even fighting the illuminate currently.
Sergeant alance29 of the spear of starlight here, I've been on the creek before the first wave of MO came for us to take it. Those clankers have me a load of stress and annoyed the liberty out of me, but I made some great brothers and sisters in arms from it. I still relive every drop over had on the creek when I close my eyes and when I think about the clankers freeing the cyborgs... I learned a lot of good anti-air and one man tactics from fighting them, I respect them not for anything against SEAF but for making us love democracy and liberty even more.
Hate to say this, but we could have Malevelon Creek 2.0 Since the Illuminate have invaded Calypso, in the neighboring sector there is a planet called Genesis Prime. Genesis Prime looks exactly like Malevelon Creek. And it could in the crosshairs of the Illuminate
If you have the "Fallen Hero's Vengeance" cape in the armory aboard your destroyer, it means you were a part of what went down at Malevelon Creek. There was only one way to get that cape. Wear it with pride. 💀
At 1:24, you say that they used napalm barrages, but napalm barrages were introduced after February, which is the time period you’re talking about in that section.
Yeah, I think it was to embellish it a little. Hell the best we had to deal with the bots was a Liberator, 500kg, Bombing runs and Anti material rifles. I was lucky to have spec'd into Disposable AT rockets very early (as in, one of my first Strats) that kept me and my team afloat a lot of the time. But wait, Most people didnt even have access to the 500kg at that point because most of them were sub-20. So we were working with Precision strikes, Bombing runs and Strafes with the occasional cluster!
I still remember when I first encountered a walker at Malevelon Creek. Me and the team fought with everything we had and we brought it down. I'll never forget the thrill of feeling in true danger.
My squad and I were there, all of us wear that cape without exception. I was a rookie, barely out of training. Still have the same squad today...we were Divers for a while, but we will be brothers till the end Nice to see so many veterans of the Creek still in active service. Liberty smiles upon you all
I was fighting back at the first battle on Melevelon Creek. The amount of gunfire coming from everywhere was unimaginable. Lasers coming from every bush and tree. After that I was moved to assist taking back the other planets but as soon as me and my fellow Helldivers heard about the heroes that were still on The Creek we did everything to get back onto the front. After we managed to get back I fought all the way to the last automaton stand on The Creek. We will never forget and MAY LIBERTY PREVAIL!
My time on the creek was short, i spent much of the time holding the line on draupnir and mantes. Credit to those divers who kept the lines to the creek open
I fought on the creek during its last day in Automaton control. as we liberated the planet for the final time, one of their foot-soldiers understood that their fight is lost, and rightly defected to our side. it never fired a single shot at anything, but it looked and cheered at us as the last of its kind fell. as we exfiltrated from the planet one last time, it waved at us, making a promise that it will take care of the planet for the glory of Super Earth. It was just a bugged enemy that didn't shoot and was invincible, but it sure does make for a good little story, doesn't it)) big up for the 40K reference there also. WE NEVER FORGET CADIA!
You do it a good amount of justice but you weren’t there like some of us. We will never recover from the scars that planet left us. I still hear the screams of my brothers in my sleep.
I had recently joined the helldivers last week and wasn’t around for the time, but those who are still around tell me about that point in time. Thank you for your service for defending Super Earth. Your efforts will not go in vain.

Hey there i to share a little story of the founding of the Breaddivers within the 505th after the Annihilation of the 101st Hell Batallion. Enjoy docs.google.com/document/d/1g1329heHkVCfb8xyIDOSyRPu3FplqK_ecBl4Fwwc4JA/edit?usp=sharing****
Uhh i have a theory
DeathSoldier77 skulls and bones of the SES soldier of redemption reporting in we took mortar bay we need every helldiver to aid in CHOOHE WE ONLY HAVE ONE DAY LEFT WE NEED THIS PLANET FOR THE WAY POINT TO THE VALDIS SECTOR TO GET CLOSER TO CYBERSTAN PLEASE MAKE THE REPORT SO FINALLY TAKE THIS PLANET!
I have photos of that day
My first deployment was to the creek. Due to my ship crews inexperience we did more harm than good. Friendly fire isn't.
Advancing forwards while a hail of red lasers rip out of the tree cover towards you was something I don't think I'll ever experience again.
Nor do we WANT to brother 😢
They’re slowly expanding back.
I wasn't there but I'll fight for liberty bruther
The open parts were worse than the trees... You make a small noise and 6 laser gatling sentries all unload on you at once!
Fun times at the Creek
I remember the Creek like it was yesterday. I still wear my cape commemorating our fellow fallen divers. It doesnt come off.
Same here, I'd like to think the cape brings fear into those clankers when they see it.
@theblitzkrieggamer3196 I don't believe it does. I KNOW IT DOES
The only cape I tend to wear other than the commemorative one is the Drape of Glory, which I wore during my deployment there. It holds a special place in my heart and has ever since
@arcshadowstorm if memory serves me correctly the only cape I donned prior to the Creek commemorative one was the standard one you get when you first start. Not that I don't like any others, I do. But the Creek one is my favorite
Same
Melevelon creek was truly a *"you had to be there"* moment it was such a threat when thier wasnt anything else to worry about like the Gloom,jetpack brigrade and even before the meridia situation it was great and im glad to have fought on that rock
@@That_British_bloke same here
amen brother same here i remeber if you didnt brought an auto cannon or a recoiless your were cooked against those tanks and bruisers
😃😃😃
Im pretty upset I just missed it lol, at least I was there for the supercolony
@@Puttis be happy you missed it, your mind is not filled with the horrors i have witnessed from that rock, i was stationed there with my brother when the ential assualt happened. since that day i did not leave that planet untill it was liberated, i lost my brother and so many others in the most horrific ways possible. when we lost the creek my super destroyer left me on the surface they thought i was dead but i wasnt, i was hunted, captured, totured and hunted again after i escaped my prison.
Man, the creek was something else. Nothing quite like getting overwhelmed by red lasers hitting you from every direction whilst you lose your sense of direction in the dark jungle as berserkers close in on you, chainsaws revving. That place was home to about 90% of my total failed missions in this game, you just had to be there
The creek was the very first plant I went to on launch. Now, I can't have peaceful hikes in the woods anymore.
I still hear the trees speaking binary myself
The fireflies. If they're red....then they're not fireflies.
It was my 2nd planet I went to on our 3rd day of the automaton war. Allies called for aid and I answered. I served there every single day fighting tooth and nail for every inch of land I could take. I've seen thousands of us die around me. I held my squad leader in my arms as he bled to death infront of me. Never forget what we gave to take back our home
The PTSD of the trees that speaks binary
not to mention all the leftover misfired ordinance and still-armed landmines that litter those forests. still to this day the creek is not a safe place to be one with nature. aside from the physical hazards you also get this eerie lingering feeling that the battle is still being waged there, like business hasnt finished. its not a peaceful planet, even if it feigns peace
SES: Princess of Twilight
Creeker, here. I joined during the fall of the Creek (first battle), and fought for its liberation for 2 whole months. At the time of the second battle, there was only a handful of divers (when I was on) dedicated to holding that piece of rock. The defense had almost failed daily, but we always managed to hold it. Ended up making a lot of friends defending it, as you were likely to match in the same party.
Our fellow divers actually despised us for holding it as long as we did, even leading to real articles being written about how upset people were people were still fighting for the creek, and wanted us to just let it fall. We refused. It got so bad, that after all the fighting, there were whispers that people were intentionally TKing those who held the Fallen Heroes Vengeance Cape.
But when that final MO came in, by god did we storm it. So many from other fronts redeployed, many having only experienced bug combat, my friends and I needed to assist them in the best ways we could.
Many lives were lost on the Creek, many more were born.
For the Creek!
I remember the articles; people were big mad at the Creekers for months.
I remember the creeker hate. What they didn’t understand is that we just couldn’t leave the planet. To turn your back on the world that so many millions have died on and just letting it fall was absolutely unacceptable. Too many of us had oaths of vengeance that could not go unfulfilled.
Too late to fight in the Creek, too soon to take Cyberstan, but I promise I'll be there when we reach it
Good news: we’re advancing towards Choove, which has FTL lines to a planet that has FTL lines *directly* towards Cyberstan!
@@scouttrooper2871 Towards Matar Bay Helldivers!
The Creek is more to the left of the galatic map the bots have slowly moved to the top of the map
@@davidivaskovic *Choohe
Born to early for The Creek, Too late for Cyberstan. Born just in time to bleach my bones on Mastia
My first drop onto a clanker world was during the very first battles on the Creek. And I stayed there until we were forced to retreat. Later I would be present as the Super Flag was raised over Liberty Point declaring the planet once more human soil
U should start making history of the galatic war week by week
You should start being a reasonable person, you weren't there on the creek, we all know, stop stealing valour from experienced helldivers rookie.
Yay! Animarchy!!!
“The Creek may have brought an end to the 1st Helldiver Honor Guard. But I am proud to see the amount of Divers who picked back up the standard and charged headfirst into the planet. If it wasn’t for those brave Divers fighting on when others had fallen we wouldn’t be here today.

@deluluvid This is what I like to see, my hard earned money and war bonds going to teaching our kids the real dangers of freedom hating bots and bugs alike.
Teach ‘em young! No child of mine is gonna be a clanker sympathizer.
When the trees started to sing, I broke out in a cold sweat. I didn’t understand what was happening, I had no idea where it was coming from. I was just a rookie back then, cannon fodder. One of my first steps into Helldivers 2. That confusion deeply unsettled me, and it was only later that I realized it was the robots singing. Robots. Cold, unfeeling, SINGING Clankers.
Those who weren’t there will never understand why this planet holds such historical significance.

I was a rookie on the creek too but it soon made me a hardened vet. You’re right, you did truly have to be there. To my fellow creek crawlers 🫡
Wait… this was a real place? I thought it was just in a video game. ???
The chanting... I still hear the chanting coming from the trees.
As a former heavy gunner with the 1st Helldiver Honor Guard, I thank you for educating the new divers and telling our story.
As a veteran of the creek, this video brings me joy and PTSD at the same time, I’m glad these new recruits will learn the history of this battle and know the horrors the clankers commit daily, but seeing the surface of this planet again chills me to my core
@@DonnyBese-j9b Fortunately they don't know the horros of Malevelon Creek, and lets hope they never will.
@@DonnyBese-j9b my first time playing on helldive was at the creek. Buddy said we had to liberate, I didn't know what I was walking into.

I feel you bro. I cant even toast my bread since the Creek.
@@scouttrooper2871 That's why I have created Sons of Malevelon Creek, we are first and last line of defence against automatons scumbags
Having personally experienced Malevolon Creek and to see so many videos covering its history is such a surreal thing. It makes me proud to be a veteran and continue to do my duty.
A creek veteran myself, I was a cadet when I got there. I dived over and over. I felt alive, but terrified. Fighting off armies on the creek with my friends are some of my best, but most traumatizing memories.
Feelings mutual, The creek was the first bot planet I fought on.
My account was glitched during my first day and I couldn’t get xp or level up but I could still get to higher mission difficulties. Stuck as level one cadet with starter kit while doing 7+ difficulty missions on the creek was one of the most fun, alive, and terrifying experiences in game for me.
@@watch7564 Absolute madman. Lol
This probably is a bit of a longshot, but dropping into Malevelon Creek gave me the same feeling as watching the Umbara Arc from the Clone wars the first time.
Just that oppressive, claustrophobic "Any tree could have an entire platoon of horrors behind it" as trees and bushes get destroyed around you, while you call in an eagle strike in the desperate hope you can stall the Automaton advance for just long enough to get out of the forest and into open ground where your squad can use our heavy weapons is an experience.
@@vibechecker3168 I think that is the exact fleeing they were going for
Aw man, now I wish I was playing back then. I’m getting a PS5 soon, so then I can finally join in.
my friend served on the creek, wasnt the same since
My first bot operation was on the creek I haven’t slept the same since
My first deployment was in meridia, I keep on repeating "Throwing down sentry." since
I can still hear the trees sing..
I saw my mates head blown straight off on Calypso, this isn't even the secondary fleet

Stories of the Creek were what brought me to join the Helldivers. Truly one of the best stories I've heard.
I remembered that day like it was yesterday, Malevelon Creek. Mission hazard 5, objective was simple, get in, blow up 3 enemy bases, and get out. I was then Chief rank Diver, our squad leader, Frank, was skilled warrior with Marshal rank, but there was one Diver that shouldn't been there, a Cadet, Jerry. It's still a mystery for me how he get there, propably he was friend of one of the squad members, but with friend or without, he must have been there of he's own free will, and to select not only hazard 5 automatons mission, but also on most brutal planet in the galaxy, this guy must has balls of steel. Squad leader selected a drop zone, and we have entered our hellpods, we didn't know the hell that was whaiting for us on the surface. Right after we have left our hellpods, we have fallen in to enemy trap, first diver died before he even left his pod. It was horror, we have throw every stratagem we have on them, I saw on my own eyes Marshal Frank geting torn apart by enemy minigun, reinforcment was called every few seconds. We have lost 6 Divers only on drop zone. Jerry somehow survived that hell, terrified by what he just witness.
I have promised him that i'll get us out of this safe and in one pice, and we shall all be back in our houses on Liberty Day. The rest of the mission went smoothly, at least as much as it can be on Malevelon Creek, we have completed objective losing 9 more Divers. We had reached the LZ and called the extraction. And then, tragedy happend. When shuttle arived, I had lower my guard just for a second, to walk on to the ship, and then, a beserker grabbed Jerry's leg, and pulled out of the shuttle. I tried to grab him, to pull him back inside, but it was too late. From the shuttle, I saw him beeing ripped in half, I saw his insides becoming his outsides while he was still alive.
When we have returned to the ship we got the news, Malevelon Creek was liberated, and we were one of the last squads that camed back.
It was glorious day, but I wasn't celevrating, I wasn't feeling proud, or happy, I felt sorrow. Jerry died because I lower mu guard, that should be me, not him, it was he's first mission.
That day I have promised myself, that i shall go inside the shuttle only when I make sure that every one is safe, and I'll stop these rustbucket scums, even if that means going to the heart of Cyberstan, armed only in Super Earth baner.
That's why I have created Sons of Malevelon Creek, to be our first and last line of defence.
FOR SUPER EARTH!
AND MALEVELON CREEK!
Rest in peace Jerry.
Fly high Jerry 😢
🫡 Fly high, Jerry. You did good. Rest in peace, soldier.

It's heartbreaking. All those forsaken bots must be erradicated. I'll make sure they get what they deserve, and all Helldivers will.
For Super Earth and Democracy !
So young and so promising... Fly high Jerry.
Ah yes, the creek. You couldn't stand your ground and kill all the bots, you had to hit and run. You learned to disengage, or die; a lesson too many didn't learn, especially the newer hell-divers with limited access to anti-armour equipment, like me. Taught me to avoid thick growth when trying to reposition, hit hard and fast.
Lessons that served me well fighting the bugs and squids.
laser cannons, railguns, autocannons, breaker, shield packs, and nearly every sentry were the paramount starter pack to survive the creek when i was there. if you dodnt use em, you were guaranteed to have been shredded in the early moments of the fighting
BACK IN MY DAY
I made do with the spear. Everything else: orbital laser, 120, and 380 bombardment because you don’t walk into a bot base without killing everything first
Railgun and Autocannons, for sure, I was the air support and orbital support of my team. Nicknamed the anti-lorax since the aim was to clear the tree lines and yield fire support.
I’m a veteran of the creek, my most memorable deployment was before the fall of the creek, it was a solo mission where I had to take down a walker. I stealthed my way past 3 or more patrols and then I saw it, the walker was massive, bigger than a mountain, and so I pulled out my stratagem and threw it. Perfect hit, then I hurried my ass to extraction while being pursued by no less than 300 clankers. Never was I so glad to extract.
The Creek was my first deployment as a Helldiver after its fall. I spent days in that jungle listening to the trees speak binary.
That became my boot camp. I learned to be a Helldiver in those purple tinted mists. I found others and taught them how to fight the bots.
Soon I became one with The Creek. I became the Tree that Spoke of Democracy and Freedom. I had the pleasure of watching the Automatons learn the meaning of fear, quivering in their mechanical shells the way they had once done to me.
Turnabout was fair play and when I emerged from the Creek, I brought that same terror against every enemy of Managed Democracy since.
The creek was also my first deployement.
Creek was the best training for the current veterans we could have wished for. Doesnt get more hard than it does on the Creek, hope to return to that hell hole one day!
Agreed. I'd fight for the planet again in a heart beat.
Outside the game, as players - We didn't have access to a lot of gear that current players have now. Most divers I fought with were barely lv 15 when the cap was 50.
Because of this; The Creek taught us to pick up any weapon you can find and fight, because that's all you got when your resupply is waiting approval (cooldown). It honestly was quite the learning experience
I was working three jobs while my friends streamed Creek lvl 9 missions. Two were veterans of the first war. For one guy it was his second mission. For another, it was his first. Several others assisted throughout. It was so incredible, I bought my first gaming laptop and the game... But it didn't arrive and finish installing until the day after the Creek was liberated for the last time.
I still roleplay as the only Creek citizen my friends saved after 17 days behind enemy lines. I don't have the cape because I didn't bleed for that planet... I was bled for.
The creek was the second planet I went too. I only had hazard level 2 at the time, and before the third battle had even started I was fighting hazard level 9 missions.
The overwhelming amount of bots that would be almost always advancing on my position isn’t something I will soon forget. Airstrikes and barrages were only just enough to keep them at bay, and eventually they’d all be reloading allowing our position to be nearly overrun. We’d hold our ground, but we lost many good helldivers to the relentless onslaught of clankers
The war there has forever changed me and harden my belief for democracy and vengeance for all the soldiers I lost on that planet.
I'll never forget doing geological survey missions on the Creek. As soon as we would activate the beacon....the dropships would show up every 3 seconds.
Berserkers, tanks, striders, hulks....the Creek was a wild experience
I was freshly enlisted to the creek form the Terminid front. I was use to using sentry turrets then laying back and watching the numbers tick up. It was a sort of peace that I would soon learn to forget.
What I thought was going to be another easy day changed the second we got order to go to the creek. I hadn’t expected much since it was to early in the battle for any of the atrocities and the difficulties of the creek had been known. I went in the creek, on helldive for my first bot mission ever. I gained a new sense of respect that day, never had I seen so many shots, cannons, lasers, rifles, and auto canons blasting for 10 minutes. We hadn’t moved but 50 feet from the drop site. In those 10 minutes I had seen numerous deaths of my allies and realized the creek makes you or breaks you.
We fought to complete that mission, we went 2 minutes into overtime and had 30 seconds to get halfway across the battlefield to pelican 1. I was the only one to make it. Space cadet Samuel was the first to go, he was ripped in half by a hulk scorcher, I swear I can still hear his screams of pain through the intercoms. Or even 15 seconds after him was corporal rooster he had got shot by a cannon turret we had failed to spot at one of the heavy camps 100 meters to the north. Then just a cadet not 14 hours into service, the poor bastard, I don’t even remember his name he was just thrown at us and told to serve. He didn’t know it would be his first and last service to super earth. He died a hero though when we made it to extraction we were overrun by bots and not having an opening to the ship the cadet used himself. He though precision strike, pulled the pin of a frag grenade and said “I know I wasn’t sent here with plans of making it out, but I know…” that’s all he got out before he was shot down and blown up by his own ordinance. I made it out that day and fought until liberation.
I was one of the first on the creek, and I was one of the last the leave the creek. I don’t know what to future entails but I know my service on that damn planet will never leave my soul.
“If you weren’t there, no words can explain. If you were there, no words are needed.”
Me and two of my best friends served on creek even tho it was right after we enlisted in the Helldivers.
We saw many fellows Helldivers die just in front of us or right behind us. The trees were speaking a strange language too. We escaped from hell and we will still respect and remember all our fallen comrade and friends.
When we first choose randomly to land on this planet (because I thought the name "Malevelon Creek" was cool) we didn't knew what we would live...
From a creek veteran, thx you !
Ah, Malevelon Creek. My first deployment. The bullshit stacked up so high, you needed wings just to stay above it. Remember holding ground from a vantage point with an MG-43, trying to clear a path for my team to get out of an all-round encirclement. Yeah. Crawling in the mud, firing into the bushes at the first sniff of oil, seeing firsthand just how sick those bots really are. I'll never forget that blue fog for as long as I dive, or the good friends I lost in that water. Thank you for sharing the story of The Creek. These new Helldivers need to know what happened - why we keep fighting.
I still remember deepely fighting in Creek daily with fellow divers coming in and out.
But the one I remember the best was fighting in the treeline downhill raining explosive and bullets at the onslaught of the Bots for entire 10mintues plus, MG, AC, AMR, EAT.
Everything we have to ensure we hold the upper ground and rain hell on the bots, a payback on what they did to our fellow Helldivers and never to fall back.
Rest well to those who path the way to Super Earth victory on Malevelon Creek with their blood and body.
I was on the Creek.
Red neon flashes of death,
Screaming, so much screaming,
Frantic panic from Helldivers watching one of their own fall, all whilst looking at the armed stratagem that rolled to the ground,
Explosions, so many explosions.
But honestly the greatest aspect was the comradery,
Everyone was so damned invested in that planet, it was amazing to be a part of the story that unfolded.
The first Honor Guard was lost on Malevalon Creek, the Second must not have the same fate, in their name, we fight for Super Earth! For Democracy!

The recruitment drive sparked by the Creek's fall is what drove me to join the Helldivers in the first place. I formally joined just after the TCS was activated, with Operation: Swift Disassembly being my first Automaton-centered major order. I remember being planet-side with my friend and his friend when the Creek was at last liberated. I was initially scared of fighting the bots, but Swift Disassembly changed that. Now, I live for the joy of scrapping those Clankers!

That is all for now. Flame On!🔥
I fought at the creek... not all of me came back... still fighting... still fighting on that dam rock... i dont think my fight there will ever fully stop... the creek... it... it changed you att the beginning of the war... it changed you by taking a piece of every one who went there... and never letting you go... never letting your soul stop fighting... i think that when i die my soul will be whole again... finaly reunited... but stuck on malevelon creek... fighting forever... forever...
The Creek was insane. There may never be another battle like it.
The fact that we made the Helldivers equivalent of the MACV-SOG is the reason I play this game. THE CREEK FELL BEFORE THE GUARD!!
We lost many civillian lives during those wars.
The lives of those to whom Democracy and Liberty was their way of life...
May the souls and dreams of the fallen forever be remembered.

Me and 2 of my buddies were walking along a clear path when we came upon a downed ship of some sort when we were ambushed by a large element of bots, we used the trench created by the downed ship as cover and I laid down fire with my MG. Those clankers were brutal. We were lucky to get out of there alive.
Our team and I fought there. Many a times. Wins and losses don't account for what we endured. That's where the "Skölldivers" were born. They destroyed our homes, we'll destroy their robotic existence.
Proud member of the Crawlers since the first days of the creek. It was hell - I'll usually play a frontal assault role but the creek taught me how to be a ghost just to get the wins in.
im ashamed to admit i was a bug diver during the first battle for the creek. when i heard the nightmare that the creekers were left with, i signed up for the draupnir counterattack. proud to be a part of the second and third battle for malevelon creek
It really can't be understated how unique the creek was. No one had any good stratagems, and no one knew how to play the game.
I remember hiding behind a tiny rock praying a patrol wouldn't spot me on difficulty 5.
I remember my squad and I having to cross a lake via a shallow sandbar to get to exfil during an ion storm and with an entire bot brigade with multiple tanks on our six!
The campaign for that planet is still my favorite of any I have been a part of!
I was much more inexperienced going into the Creek than coming out. Let's just say that when the alternative is being turned into a pile of ash as the treeline erupts in the blinding red fire of thousands of bots, you learn to keep a low profile. I spent more time on my belly in the mud than I did in training to become a Helldiver, and out of that brutal world of jungle and fire, I came out a true Ghostdiver. Here to relive the glory and horror of fighting on Malevelon Creek, really a once in a lifetime experience
I remember my first moments of the creek, dark, wet, and fear inducing. The first hour, we lost our first man, Jax, who died to an ambush. we gained superiority, and we wrapped him in his cape and gave him all honors, then pressed toward the objective, the 3rd hour we lost our demo man, boomer, while taking out the dropships and hulks, one of those damned jet bots took him out, there was no body left of him but his torn cape will forever be by my side til the day I die. Finally, our medic Abby died during our exfiltration. She heroically kicked a grenade back at those bots and lost her leg in the process. She died in my arms as the pelican took us back home. Those memories are forever with me. Remember the Valor. Remember the devotion. The bravery. The sacrifice. The death. Remember the creek
I was there too.
During the Liberation of the creek we came to call it Robot Vietnam. It was on challenging and suddenly it felt like super helldive!!
I barely made it alive out of the 3 man group. Then of course a hellbomb laying around goes off and I miraculously survive.
We didnt understand it. But during the major order the amount of clankers was insane compared to normal.
Explosions.
Herds of bezerkers.
Smoke everywhere.
Tons of crossfire.
Sniped by rockets.
Craziness was fucking awesome!!
Literally it was history in the making. Glad we were there.🎉
I was there… my first deployment was on malevelon creek.. i remember fighting day and night for that planet, i always liked to call it “Space Vietnam..” the vegetation, the automatons firing from the trees, the fact that even if you think you were safe only to see bot deployments and the sight of hulks and tanks being dropped right infront of you.. and i was there for the fall of it too… hundreds of hours lost, but eventually with an taskforce of my friends and randoms i assisted in the reliberation of malevelon creek. Now i wear the cape to remember the creek. For super earth and managed democracy!
I remember a specific moment from this campaign where there was an unending wave of shots coming towards us near a forest and I started laying covering fire into enemy lines with my auto cannon while a fellow Helldiver reloaded for me.... Great times

Broadcast of this momentous campaign, the stories shared, is what drove me to join the Helldivers. Though grand battles of this magnitude have faltered, the war still drags on and though i may have missed the beginning, I will be on the tip of the spear for the finally thrust to secure victory. Our numbers are few and we are spread thin. Maybe this reminder of that passion we once had will reignite the fires of Democracy

Helldivers is pretty much a mix of starship troopers and 40k. 😂
“Dad can you tell me that story again? You know the one about the creek. The one you fought in”
Ill never forget being in the Creek with Ion Storms and only having 3 available strategems. I played it so much I would solo it at high difficulty levels because Im a masochist apparently but it helped me make anything else since then seems tame by comparison now. I still have a habit of running off and handling those spawn factories and jamming signals and soloing drops against other factions and missions. Illuminate is cool and all but nowhere as bad as damn rockets one shotting you across the map.
I still enjoy Helldivers a lot, but Malevelon Creek felt like HD2's "you had to be there" moment. All of my friends and I still talk about how chaotic it was when the game was new
I still remeber my first dive. It was on the creek... The bots killed everyone I was with before I managed to crawl my way out
can we appreciate that players in this game become legends and there is history on this game? its so cool

No no no wait wait wait it’s a slur please
Oh man, hearing those words brought back of a flood of memories, malevelon creek.. that damn planet, every mission there could be your last. Sneaking through the bushes, getting ready to throw a 500kg stratagem into their factory camps.. suddenly the march of metal, binary death chants, and an eruption of red lasers.. it was a massacre, I watched the 3 helldivers in front of me get wiped out in mere seconds, in an instant I threw my 500kg stratagem at the advancing army instead of the encampment. As the explosion rang in my ears, and oil and metal rained over me, I realized a glowing red light coming from their death camp.. suddenly a beam shot out and missed me by only a few feet, decimating one of our reinforcements. You just don’t forget these things, you don’t forget the citizens who gave their life for democracy. May god, and democracy be with them, and their souls rest. That place was hell, and I’ll never be able to sleep again without seeing my friends incinerated in front of me
I enlisted shortly after the fall of Malevelon Creek. The helldivers I dropped with talked about those who still fought there despite the planets heavy occupation, called them "Creek crawlers." I didn't understand who they were until I dropped with one in the retaking of the Creek. He never said a word, but his eyes painted a story of oil and blood... After that, I never joked about them again, they were formidable soldiers.
I ran two or three bug missions before going to the creek. After 100 years of peace, this was a warm welcome I had been waiting for.
On behalf of all veterans of the creek, thank you for telling the story of our fallen comrades.
I remember The Creek.
Me and my squadmates crawling though bot encampments, so close to enemy tanks, you could reach out and touch them, so close laying in the undergrowth, you could smell the grease.
My squadmate was crushed under a Hulks boot.
Remember the Creek.
It was such a great time being a Creek Crawler. I had a great time sneaking my way through the rain storm, going behind enemy lines and staying down while my comrades got their attention. No planet quite like the Creek
As a fellow creek veteran I remember well the first mission I did running into a sea of red lasers one of my favorite periods in gaming seeing a chunk of the community refuse to retreat and fight until reinforcements finally reached us was amazing
It was truly a spectacular feeling, for sure. I made many friends on the Creek, most of which I still play with today
There was nothing quite like wading waste deep in the middle a muddy river during an ion storm, dumping a belt of covering fire with an MG on slow mode in a torrent of red laser bolts, while the rest of the team dragged themselves up the opposite bank to disappear into the black jungles. Thats when I knew the Creek had made me into something different.
between that and preforming breach and clear operations with a full team of breakers by the most danger close napalm strike possible in full confidence, or team loading autocannons in a leapfrog to cut down a full army of bots that just fell from the sky.
Malevelon was something special, and creekers are a type of diver that just hit different. Always just a little crazy and unorthodox with a never say die kind of attitude. Picking up that title of "Death Corps of Creek" because when you're cut off from home, you know your life is forfeit. There is no rescue party, no funeral. Just your life and whatever damage you can do to the enemy before they can stop you.
Im glad we stood our ground, and I can't wait to show cyberstan what we Creekers saw back then.
i stopped playing a while ago and im being so serious when i saw the name malevalon creek, the memories hit me like a bull dozer that time was so fun yet terrifying
All fun and games until the trees start speaking binary
4:18 Friendly reminder some super earth civlians still believe the automatons are good/misunderstood
@@schnitzelfritzel6287 Disgraceful…
I remember my 1st drop on that planet, red eyes peering from the trees watching my every move. Then heavy Lazer and mortar fire hit us as we scrambled to make the 1st objective. Barely made it out
I never fought on the creek but a lot of good friends did, many didn’t come back, many were scarred forever.
Their sacrifice gave me strength on Gaellivare and Imber
In my first battle of the creek, i was just baffles at how little time i had for anything, just ran and dived.. took me about 5 minutes, and 1 death to finally get my startagem weapon...
As a not so wise man once said"quite frankly, i enjoyed the war"
Jokes aside, it’s crazy how in a couple years the creek will be a legend and all divers who served there will be actual creek vets
Charlie was everwhere. You were at war with not just bots but the jungle itself. When your stratagems were most needed, you opened your stratagem menu to find them suddenly jammed, and you had to retreat into the jungle to engage in guerilla warfare.
I was only 15 hours into my service when the battle for the creek just started. I remember seeing the factory strider for the first time. It seemed like myth at first until I seen it one day through the trees and bushes. There I learned how to fight like a real helldiver.
Today, I am sitting at 774 hours of service and still serve and help our new helldivers out.
Hell Commander Yirby of SES Guardian of Honor reporting: I was there...was a nightmare I even went back to do a covert mission and even with all the stealth skills, they're still relentless! I remember waiting for extraction and they sent in Tanks and Mini Walkers that we thought we're all going to die! However we barley made it out alive....unlike the fallen ... Remember the Creek! o7
P.S This was also the very first time I hear their chat.....gives me PTSD from it....
Things like this is why hell diverse is probably one of the greatest games ever created
Man, it’s almost been a year since going to Malevelon Creek. Wasn’t deployed there initially but went when got serious during the first Battle of the Creek. Been apart of the effort to push them back since and never gave in. Even when only 2,000 of us tried to take it back, never gave up hope we would claim the creek. I wear my cape to this day to never forget, even fighting the illuminate currently.
The Templar Division took large loses in the battle of Malevelon Creek
Sergeant alance29 of the spear of starlight here, I've been on the creek before the first wave of MO came for us to take it. Those clankers have me a load of stress and annoyed the liberty out of me, but I made some great brothers and sisters in arms from it. I still relive every drop over had on the creek when I close my eyes and when I think about the clankers freeing the cyborgs... I learned a lot of good anti-air and one man tactics from fighting them, I respect them not for anything against SEAF but for making us love democracy and liberty even more.
Hate to say this, but we could have Malevelon Creek 2.0
Since the Illuminate have invaded Calypso, in the neighboring sector there is a planet called Genesis Prime.
Genesis Prime looks exactly like Malevelon Creek. And it could in the crosshairs of the Illuminate
If you have the "Fallen Hero's Vengeance" cape in the armory aboard your destroyer, it means you were a part of what went down at Malevelon Creek. There was only one way to get that cape. Wear it with pride. 💀
For Super Earth
For Malevelon Creek
And for the fallen
1:23 Maybe I have early-stage Alzheimer's, but did we really have napalm barrages back then?
@arnebanane negative I believe bragging with napalm on a large scale would've been better phrasing. But great video so all good cx
@@mattlicata2803 👍
If I remember correctly the last few battles for the creek was after the napalm barrage released
@@albertlarson9141 The napalm barrage was available from September. The last fighting ended in April.
@arnebanane maybe I just saw that many napalm eagle strikes then, my bad!
Oh man, this was truly peak hell divers. The camaraderie, unmatched
At 1:24, you say that they used napalm barrages, but napalm barrages were introduced after February, which is the time period you’re talking about in that section.
Yeah, I think it was to embellish it a little.
Hell the best we had to deal with the bots was a Liberator, 500kg, Bombing runs and Anti material rifles. I was lucky to have spec'd into Disposable AT rockets very early (as in, one of my first Strats) that kept me and my team afloat a lot of the time.
But wait, Most people didnt even have access to the 500kg at that point because most of them were sub-20. So we were working with Precision strikes, Bombing runs and Strafes with the occasional cluster!
Lest we forget the creek fellow veterans, still wear my cape to this day
10:25 CADIA STANDS!
I still remember when I first encountered a walker at Malevelon Creek. Me and the team fought with everything we had and we brought it down. I'll never forget the thrill of feeling in true danger.
Yeah, having to Dive around it in a spectacular fashion because that was the only way to kill them at that point lmao
Why where civilians there in the first place 😂 9:05
@@Speedy.557 it was a mining colony
The Creek is where I met my battalion and I've never been more happy then with my sisters.
Shout out to and from the angels of eternity
My squad and I were there, all of us wear that cape without exception. I was a rookie, barely out of training. Still have the same squad today...we were Divers for a while, but we will be brothers till the end
Nice to see so many veterans of the Creek still in active service. Liberty smiles upon you all
I was fighting back at the first battle on Melevelon Creek. The amount of gunfire coming from everywhere was unimaginable. Lasers coming from every bush and tree. After that I was moved to assist taking back the other planets but as soon as me and my fellow Helldivers heard about the heroes that were still on The Creek we did everything to get back onto the front. After we managed to get back I fought all the way to the last automaton stand on The Creek. We will never forget and MAY LIBERTY PREVAIL!
Vet here I appreciate you covering our story
My time on the creek was short, i spent much of the time holding the line on draupnir and mantes. Credit to those divers who kept the lines to the creek open
I fought on the creek during its last day in Automaton control. as we liberated the planet for the final time, one of their foot-soldiers understood that their fight is lost, and rightly defected to our side. it never fired a single shot at anything, but it looked and cheered at us as the last of its kind fell.
as we exfiltrated from the planet one last time, it waved at us, making a promise that it will take care of the planet for the glory of Super Earth.
It was just a bugged enemy that didn't shoot and was invincible, but it sure does make for a good little story, doesn't it))
big up for the 40K reference there also. WE NEVER FORGET CADIA!
You do it a good amount of justice but you weren’t there like some of us. We will never recover from the scars that planet left us. I still hear the screams of my brothers in my sleep.
I had recently joined the helldivers last week and wasn’t around for the time, but those who are still around tell me about that point in time. Thank you for your service for defending Super Earth. Your efforts will not go in vain.
