Helldivers 2 is the perfect model for a live-service game. The progression is brisk -- you can unlock multiple rewards after almost every session -- the cosmetics and premium battle passes can be earned quickly just by playing, and it definitely doesn't hurt that the game itself is an absolute blast.

If you haven't checked it out, #Helldivers2 is basically a 3rd person Left 4 Dead meets Halo with a Starship Troopers vibe.

AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY PLAY THE OBJECTIVE!

I absolutely love it.

EccTM,

@killyourfm I haven't played it yet, but I did see there's a huge backlash at the moment over suddenly requiring a PlayStation account to continue playing it on PC, which seems pretty shady on Sony's part.

@EccTM @ProfessorCode @killyourfm Luckily they backed down regarding the PSN account linking requirement.

@svenjacobs @EccTM @ProfessorCode That's nice to see. Now, I hope the 10s of 1000s of people who rallied together to review bomb the game update their scores so more people jump in.

@killyourfm I haven’t played but sounds interesting. I’m a big Halo fan.

@jnv If you love Halo — and especially love Firefight mode — I think you’ll really enjoy this.
