I like to imagine the 5 minute tutorial at the start of the game is the actual complete training for helldivers. They're given a vague idea of how to use their equipment, told they're invincible and basically the best recruit ever by some mindless recording, and sent out to uhh... Be heroes.

@lolroflroflcakes 4 ай бұрын

Technically if a helldiver is trained on the job the government can boast about the length, difficulty and comprehensiveness of the helldiver training program. "The Helldivers comprise only the top 1% of all applicants." The public doesn't need to know that the training program is actually just being deployed into actual combat, hopefully alongside a more experienced diver, an arbitrary number of times before you are consider to have "graduated" from the program. Plus it would be hard to train them for the sheer variety of tasks and environments they may be required to attend to in an interstellar war, its easier to just let nature take its course and you've clearly failed because you lack the qualities Super Earth expects of its sons and daughters if you get eaten. The cryogenic storage is definitely because of the sheer value of each individual helldiver and definitely not because the public should be kept in the dark about their untrained and inexperienced nature. After all look at how cool they look in the posters they couldn't possibly be cannon fodder.

@dxun7596 4 ай бұрын

After starting the game, post tutorial you step out of a cryopod, when you join another squad you step out of your cryopod. Each time a reinforcement is called a new you is defrosted and dropped into the battle. That means there are thousands of copies of "you" in storage. The tutorial can be thought of as your first defrosting, to remind you of the basics. Each time you die you retain your memories and, are effectively an immortal being. dive, die, dive again, and again, and again until liberty is spread across the galaxy. My headcannon is that each "player" is an elite helldiver who has seen thousands of battles. Unless you didn't play the first game, and answered the recruitment call. Then you're a hero in training. I love democracy.

I feel like you missed some important parts here, mainly that Helldivers 2 takes place a century after the first game. After the events of the first game, Earth won against the Illuminates, "liberated" their technology, and used it to colonize the galaxy using FTL travel. At this time the Helldivers where disbanded and no longer deployed. It was only much later, when the previously thought to be defeated cyborgs came back (now as fully mechanized automatons) and the terminids escaped the oil farms and started wreaking havoc, that they were reinstated and brought back into action.

@@dahSweep before anyone "ats him" as has been proven recently it actually only takes minutes, somewhere between 8 and 30 for fossils to form under naturally occuring conditions such as those seen at a dam break, or sweeping flood. oil likewise actually takes a very short time to form, but we've all more or less been lied to about what Oil is (it isn't liquid dinosaur) it's liquid Coral Reef. The armor and excess meat on these bugs if it forms from something similar and they could grow, kill, bury and turn the bugs over "naturally" in a process that could likely start producing oil in as little as a hundred years... Add in sci-fi BS and all the bugs we see on a Helldiver difficulty drop could be made into enough fuel to supply a Super Destroyer for a few months to a year (assuming a similar mass conversion rate and that all the bugs are viable) within as little as a decade.

Just a heads up: Talking with the engineer tells us lots of lore. The Illuminates were sent to the far reaches of the galaxy, assumedly without any of that dangerous technology, because they lost and were pacified, the cyborgs were sent to the space mines to work forever, and the bugs were being cultivated on a farm until recently. These past 100 years since the war, with our breeding and experiments, has caused themt to be rather developed. They broke free. Now we have A.I.

But the rogue helldiver's would mean they'd have to have their own super destroyers, which while space station or ship battle maps where you drop onto that sort of terrain would be awesome. Giving them an alternative to recreate the super destroyer effect without having their own super destroyers. both to avoid "well why not just PVP" and to add a narrative feel that these guys are a truly rebel force using creative measures to stand up to the Super Earth government. It also lets the programmers narratively limit the abilities and animations of the Rebels to prevent any system errors and just the hassle of programming AI that is aware of and avoid bombing themselves like players do. Probably by limiting the support abilities to summoning turrets, weapons, gear, and assuming they already have them out by such a point, vehicles.

The more I think about it the more the flash cloning theory makes sense tbh. The math doesn't math super well when you try to come to the conclusion every single Helldiver is a different person. Like take into account the procreation permits and how depending on the requirements to qualify it could partially cripple the creation of new people to recruit. But the math not mathing is probably just a me thing. But yeah I wouldn't be surprised if this new Galactic War was just self inflicted. Perhaps in the 100 years of peace the Super Earth Council/AI saw more people "wake up" and what's better than a war to go through the youth population which usually is the most rebellious, stoke some renewed toxic patriotism, etc. "Nobody knows how the Terminids go from one systems to another" hints at the fact the Termininds don't do any travel and that every outbreak is just a Terminid farm messing up. This big Terminid infestation implies a lot of farms fell at the same time and all hell broke loose... but is it really that likely? I think the Super Earth government caused it all on purpose. Soon they'll do something similar with the Automatons (assuming they're definitely not the Cyborgs).

The satirical and hilarious narrative of this game harkens back to the Bush era. The parallels….“Hypothetical WMD’s”. (The invasion of Iran) “Terrorist cyborgs attacking our country” (9/11 inside job theory) and even the bugs being the enemy (yet they turn out to provide a vital natural resource…Oil. I love this game and I’ve only played it for an hour. Starship trooper vibes all day.

That's really cool they remind me of the Sardukar from dune. Just complete warrior madman fanatics but these are being produced on a much more industrial scale. I wonder what the hell diver shelf life is if they use them as suicide squad vanguard then as long as they manage using and making them the stores could always be growing.

So, the devs confirmed that in the 2nd game the automata are not the cyborgs. The machines we fight are not cyborgs. They are a separate faction

@Lazarultos 4 ай бұрын

Did they confirm it in an "out of character" talking to players as developers kind of way or did they confirm it "in character" talking to Super Earth citizens/soldiers kind of way? Because I've been theorizing that labelling them as Automatons is just Super Earth propaganda to hide their real origins and connections to the Cyborg Rebels 100 years ago and the devs are just rolling with it to manipulate our beliefs the same way the Helldivers' fanatic patriotism is manipulated.

Honestly, a voting system that used AI questioning to determine what a person values and desires in their government in order to identify which vote would most closely match their needs and wants would be pretty awesome - if it could be designed to prevent manipulation, fraud, or whatever other forms of interference. There is certainly a lot of smoke & mirrors involved in the way current politicians try to gain votes, and the amount of information and topics to address are overwhelming for the average person that isn't dedicated to following current news, events, and politics - and that's to say nothing of the individual's ability to reason and think critically about topics while weighing social, moral, practical, economic, and philosophical matters simultaneously.
