The battle of Malevelon Creek lasted 58 REAL days before the player base finally managed to liberate it. To put that in perspective, we once liberated 4 different Automaton planets from scratch in a single day. That alone should tell you how much of an absolute hellhole the Creek was to fight on. Super Earth’s President (the developers) then declared the anniversary of its liberation, April 1st, a new holiday. Malevelon Creek Remembrance Day.
It was also the first major order when the servers worked before the massive influx of players and server issues.
And then the fucking robots came back in full force on a whole new front.
Remember the Creek. Avenge the Creek! Where the trees speak binary.
Well let's be fair, we DID lose the Creek at one point. I think that the main problem with the Automaton front generally is that we are few. There are much more Helldivers who are stomping bugs because it's fun (Every friend i asked except one said that it's fun and they're afraid of the western front).
Now people may say ''Malevelon Creek isn't that big of a deal'', but here's the thing:
We learned to survive while crawling through the jungles. And afterall, those few who stood and defended the Creek untill the end became the most efficient oil-spilling war machines.
Even though it's a game, It's an honor for me to be the Creek Crawler. And the whole situation about Creek is about people who didn't give up in the grim scenario and fought back. Learning, adapting, overcoming.
@@jacobsvane4844 WE should always remember those who died defending Liberty at the Creek, and avenge our fallen brothers. Spill oil.
Unfortunately, fighting bots is not as fun because it is significantly harder.
Fun fact 1: The screaming at 6:21 is actually a Vtuber named Bao the Whale
Fun fact 2: The song at the start is called 'We Are The Helldivers' by Jonathan Young
wait that was Bao? I never noticed
@Astro-strategist Yeah, in the description, it gives her some credit, and she has her own reaction on it calling herself the "mentally ill woman"
@@Kaizen_Kyran that sure does sond like her lul
Yeah so the community got a major order to kill 2 billion bugs in 6 days. We did it in 12 hours.
Helldivers 2 is widely considered to be a live service game done right. You’re essentially battling in a virtual war that, like real life, is ever changing, all controlled by a single person named Joel like a DnD DM. Planets come and go and new planets sometimes show up. Also, it’s popular because it’s a game that doesn’t have predatory monitization (which is entirely optional since you can only buy a premium currency called Super Credits, which is rather easy to find in missions so you can get everything just by playing the game) and battle passes that you can unlock just by playing and never expire, so you don’t have to treat the game like a job
The Terminids are a bug species that were farmed for Element-710 (710 upside down is OIL), a very important resource needed for travel, but they broke free and now we have to cull their numbers. Focusing on swarm tactics, they are quantity over quality but are still not to be underestimated, especially the fast deadly Hunters, strong tanky Bile Spewers, summoner Brood Commanders, heavily armored Chargers, and near-invincible Bile Titans
The Automatons are a species of blood fueled robots whose goal is to retake Cyberstan (which they have done), home world of the Cyborgs (faction from the first game who is believed to have a connection to the Automatons). Having ranged weapons and lots of armor, they are quality over quantity, needing only a few units to kill you easily, like the numerous armored Devastators, heavily armored Hulks, slow yet powerful Annihilator Tanks, and the brand new and very destructive Factory Striders as well as numerous base structures that can kill you or impair your calldowns
Just wanna reiterate that while the game does have microtransactions, the premium currency is so plentiful that I saw the new Premium Warbond announcement, had basically no currency because I had just bought the last one, and managed to farm up enough currency that I could afford the new Premium Warbond the day after it dropped. Wasn't even farming optimally either, basically just played the game normally.
@@GrassTroll To add onto this point, even if I reduce my Super Credits by the amount I have bought for real money, instead of having 1700SC and all 3 battlepasses, I would have 700SC and all 3 battlepasses.
If you’re interested in playing it, just a heads-up: *the devs plan on “Removing the Training Wheels” soon…*
Training wheels? Those existed?
@@redreaper7796 apparently, you thought the game was tough? *that’s all just a warm-up…*
@@redreaper7796 Apparently Bile Titans are considered "small" on their home planet.
The casualty numbers are real casualty numbers tracking the number of in-game player deaths. Which is why it's also fun to leave your diver's voice set to "random," just to hammer home that every time you die Super Earth really is just sending one more cadet into the meat grinder. The fact that they always show up sounding calm and idealistic and start devolving into panicked screaming and shouting once they start taking hits or getting overwhelmed by enemies is also a nice touch.
Also, naming your ship (as well as upgrading it) really does turn it into something you get weirdly attached to. Personally, I went with something that appropriately reflects the greatness of Super Earth, which is why I drop into orbit aboard the SES Fist of Benevolence.
Nice name, I went with the SES Lord of Destruction myself!
SES Distributor of Democracy, because I like the alliteration.
Sword Of Liberty
SES Elected Representative of Family Values, here to protect managed democracy!
I...uh....went with SES Executor of the People for shits and giggles
Here's a really really cool fact that people don't really give a whole lot of recognition to, Arrowhead, the developers of this game, only have around 100 or so people helping develop this. As opposed to AAA studios that have several thousand
the creek is responsible for millions of names on the wall of martyrs. And as someone else said, this difficulty is ridiculous...but we're likely still in tutorial mode....
oh, fun fact. We're trying to set the terminids up on farms. Because their bodies decompose into element 710. And element 710 is a precious resource to the war effort, as it's....look just flip 710 over 180 degrees, and tell me what word it looks like
stratagems aren't the little device you throw. That's the signal for your super destroyer or eagle strike plane to target with the payload of the stratagem.
the open world nature is you can join the fight on any planet that's currently available to attack. You can queue up with up to three friends, or join random missions to play with random people. Every mission is instanced, so you load in a map, objectives, and fight in that area only. but basically all efforts are collective for the entire playerbase
be advised, the game is a live service game, but it's a game with a live service supporting, and not a live service with a game supporting. The premium credits can literally be farmed, and rather easily (1000 premium currency per battlepass, the cost of premium currency is about 1 cent per unit, and it can be randomly found in packs of 10-100 in a mission). The battlepasses never go away and don't expire after a time, meaning any new gear is there to stay, which honestly altogether does justify new weapons being in them.
The song at the beginning is "We are the Helldivers" by Jonathan Young. Highly recommend his stuff if you get a hankering to do music reactions again. Some of his songs have full on animated music videos, like "Storm the Castle", "Man the Cannons", and "Best Band in the Universe".
In addition to original songs, he also does a lot of metal covers of existing songs, anything from pop hits to anime themes.
song itself is great and the lyrics for this one are clever on itself and just fun to read^^

I personally think that "Pesticide" is an even better song. "We are the Helldivers" get you pumped up to fight, but "Pesticide" is just a feel-good rocker that puts you in a good mood.
5:10 the Taiping rebellion was an incident where a Chinese man had a mental breakdown after failing the civil service exams 4 years in a row (thus invalidating his entire life's purpose, no joke) convinced himself he was JESUS'S YOUNGER BROTHER and sparked a war that killed hundreds of thousands.
*millions
Yes, this is a live service game, war updates are in real time. Major orders are usually a weekly thing that are a community objective and they have two "gamemasters" who can go in to individual missions and increase or decrease the spawnrates of enemies to fuck with you. The automaton one's name is Joel and he was responsible for the creek
A recent mission was to kill 2 billion bugs...We accomplished that mission in less than 12 hours.
god i hope it comes to xbox...
I WANT TO JOIN THE CAUSE DAMNIT
10:25 Technically, you fight alongside aircraft pilots that drop a bunch of bombs on the places that you indicate with throwable beacons. But on the ground, it’s just you and your friends.
It’s a collaborative effort from the community. It’s honestly pretty interesting. I would definitely watch you play this game
Setting the railgun in unsafe mode allows the weapon to charge past the safe limit and do more damage. But charging too far will cause the weapon to explode and kill the user.
The song is called 'We Are The Helldivers' by jonathon young and it SLAPS
Wait you haven't played it yet? Replace TF2 for a day see how it is.
There’s no replacing tf2
we do know how the bugs are on the planets, humans put them there to farm them for E-710 but they escaped and now infest the planets that were their farms.
I love the smell of democracy in the morning.
Your Profile Image says otherwise xD
The amazing thing about Helldivers is that it required very little advertising, and even less hype. The gameplay itself created the community, and the community created the lore, the history, and the patriotic fervor that is the Helldivers Movement. FOR FREEDOM! FOR DEMOCRACY! FOR SUPER EARTH!!!!
Quick overview of helldivers:
1-4 players are drop on a planet in an intergalactic war. Their goal is the wipe out the enemy, complete their objective, and evacuate the planet.
Players get to make a their own loadouts with different armor, weapons, grenades, and most importantly 4 different stratagems.
Stratagems come in a variety of types, from air strikes, turrets, minefields, orbital lasers, or orbital barrages. But also tools that helldivers use by hand like flamethrowers, rocket launchers, railguns, energy shields, and autonomous drones.
Enemies come in two types. The bots specialize in defense and range, creating powerful bases filled with mines, turrets, AA guns, mortars and more. Their troops come equipped with laser guns, grenades, rockets, flamethrowers, and heavy armors
On the other side we have the bugs who specialize in offense and melee. They swarm the player with sheer numbers and rarely let up (max0r wasn’t joking when he said you’ll fight for 40 minutes straight). Each bugs comes with unique fighting styles to overwhelm you, such as stalkers that ambush you with invisibility, chargers with super heavy armor, spewers who fire acid, shriekers who take to the air, or titans that require heavy resources to bring down.
We actually got a special cape in game after we re captured the creek
Helldivers is basically starship troopers, halo, and a but of warhammer thrown in a blender.
I've been playing Helldivers. I've running it solo. Fun game.
Man, we've gotta get you to play this game. Although, you should probably do tutorial and a couple missions by yourself before playing with anyone.
And yes, the story is always changing as the game goes on and they're bound to add more things as the game goes on.
I think you should watch RubixRaptor's videos on Helldivers 2 if you want to learn more about the game. More specifically "Is Helldivers 2 A Dream Game?" because he goes into depth about the studio, some of the cool stuff about the game, as well as some of the stuff that could be improved.
It's older than Max0r's video so may not have some of the more recent events, but its a good intro. Max0r himself says its not his job to explain the game to you, so maybe Rubix's video would be good.
His video "Democracy in its Final Form" also has some pretty funny gameplay clips.
Or you can watch Bricky's review of the game. Really up to you.
Yeah. Helldriver 2 actually has story and we as Helldriver 2 need to spread democracy to entire galaxy. There is content creator name Guns, Nerds, and Steel who record our progress to spread democracy and freedom.
"That's not a resupply" I mean.... you respawn with refreshed supplies :D
I’ve yet to run into an angry Chinese guy.
Yeah I'd say 95-98% of deaths in Helldivers 2 is teamkills/friendly fire. Both by accident and mainly on purpose because LOL
helldivers 2 is basically that scene from the beginning of 'tremors 3' where bert mows down the horde of shriekers. ...wait...have you seen 'tremors' yet? with Keven bacon? if not... watch 'tremors' while downloading helldivers 2. you wont regret it.
2:59 we are the helldivers song was made by jonathan young
This game takes a lot of references from the movie Starship Troopers, just with a lot more obvious fascism and propaganda. We have ODST style "elite" soldiers as our standard infantry, each one carrying 4 different "strategems" to carry with them to use at any time. These strategems include, but are not limited to: heavy weapons, standard resupplies, automated turrets, orbital bombardment, and mechs. Unfortunately, these mechs are more like the Halo Mantis rather than Titanfall mechs. That being said, we have good reason to believe they will add more vehicles in the future.
As for the galactic war, each planet has its own persistent progress in liberation and/or defense, which can change at any time at the developers discretion. Sometimes, we lose these planets, either because not enough players have completed enough missions or because the plotline demands it.
One of the best parts about the game is how the developers are actively writing its story to mirror how the community performs. For example, the planet Malevelon Creek wasn't originally our main objective, but so many people wanted to try and take it because of its memetic difficulty that we failed the primary objective. A lot of people were not happy with this, and when people who participated in the fight got themselves a dedicated cape to wear, people started griefing anybody wearing that cape. In response, the devs decided to make the Creek our new objective, just to raise morale. It was a massive success, and in-universe they now celebrate its liberation as a holiday.
This game has a game master who's one of the devs. He picks where the enemies push and when super earth makes new tech
Helldivers 2 is the lethal co.pany of 3rd person shooters.
Just swap Horror for dramatic last stands.
being your own worst enemies is more than half the fun.
I'm watching this as I'm chilling in my ship, the Princess of Audacity lmao
Not sure if you remember me but i do have you friended on steam. If i ever see you playing this game and having an open slot, you can expect me trying to join.
Not sure this was the best video to be introduced to Helldivers 2, as it was full of a LOT of tongue-in-cheek stuff that made it difficult to actually get a good grasp on what the game is like.
The game is only on ps5 and pc at the moment, not sure if it will come to xbox, but the community keeps pushing it to
Here are some fun facts:
1. This is a live service game, but multiple people have said it's live service done right
2. Because this is live service, the numbers shown on the planets are from real people.
3. The community actually completely destroyed the robot faction once. They came back with a vengeance. That vengeance took the shape of At-Ats from starwars.
4. This game is mostly inspired from Starship troopers.
5. Helldivers 1 was a top down shooter instead of the 3rd person shooter it is now.
Why do you use an xbox to watch videos?
Easier to edit because I get audio and video in separate tracks

Sorry Xboxboy, you won't lol
WELCOME TO HELLDIVER
You really do live under a rock
Someone call the director of the [censored] first adaptation of Starship Troopers to movie and tell him that *this* is how you make mockery to Fascist ideals.
is it a mmo
This games so fun lol. Theyre just starting to talk about opening it to xbox
Libertas Non Dormitas!
The only good bug is a dead bug
the hazbin hotel finale is nowhere to be found good sir
I wish I had any control in that
@@theduckgoesmoo Curses!!
Hello
Enlist brother
Bring in Xbox players! We need halo veterans as reinforcement
I do see why people like the game, but I found it really wasn't for me. Between the always enable friendly fire, the health pool of 2, The lack of any real narrative and our actions not actually having any effect since planets just reset once they're 'liberated', it just feels to me like 'beating your head on a brick wall simulator: the game'
