Hanoi Hannah 
fuck yes this game is so fucking good
This is personal 😭
They lie to you, GI. It is a good idea to leave a sinking ship.
They actually used this one lol
I was hoping we’d get dissidents. For pvp action.
haven't played this game and i didn't know it had space hanoi hannah
its a new addition
how neat
You're sentenced to reading discussion about the Hanoi Hannah reference on r/helldivers
Or da 5 bloods.
Big title update tomorrow
Everyone is forgetting what happened the last time we tried to push the Automatons out of the galaxy
Also think we're getting Year of the Horse stuff in the Superstore
The androids are gonna ruin so many days and I'm wondering if the bots have a nasty unit like the hive mind.
If they bring back the siege mech from the first one that would amazing
Shit warbond called siege breakers. Trailer showed similar machine. We're going into a meat grinder y'all
We poked a hornet nest and it's gonna be hilarious
Especially if they bring back the cyber mastiffs
There were c c c c cyber mastiffs in 1?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh fuuuuuuuuuuck so our doggo is a flying drone and theirs is a murder mutt 
new trailer shows off something very similar but i think its smaller? i never played hd1
Have they added anything that'd make it worth playing again if i got bored of it a year ago
plenty of new guns and whatnot, new big stratagems, new mission types and objectives. big city missions. a big fuck off tank. squids are still boring because they're unfinished as fuck though
Are there more options for dealing with armor or are you still limited to either carrying around a quasar cannon or shit that will run out of ammo after dealing with 1/10th the armored enemies on a map
They've definitely tuned some things, but the RR/Quasar is still meta for dealing with heavies. Grenades, grenade launchers, railgun, heavy MG, all much more competent than they used to be because of damage/penetration/durable damage increases, and some nerfs to the way armor worked. I typically take either the GL or Railgun for fun because the quasar/rr makes things too easy, even on level 10
The heavy machinegun damages armored stuff now? When I last played it basically did nothing, the recoilless rifle sucked, pretty much every single thing sucked actually because you'd have to shoot a single pixel weak spot to do any damage and even doing that you're just out of ammo by the time you kill like, two armored enemies
So I was bringing the quasar cannon with me every single time because it was the only way to deal with the non stop armored enemies. Which was really boring because it's like I had 20 guns and only two of them worth using
Tried the speargun? I've enjoyed it quite a bit as a flex anti-heavy/anti-tank sniper
There's a fair bit more enemy diversity and mission variety now
Plus they've been really fucking around with spawn amounts and making missions feel hectic
