Tried to play a bit of this today but the matchmaking is broken right now which means if you're not playing with a team of friends then you're solo and can only do the lowest trivial difficulty.

Have to say the Helldivers 2 thing has been a surprise. Genuinely thought it looked like something that'd be released with barely a ripple, but fair play to the devs: they seem to have a pretty big hit on their hands. The biggest Playstation release on Steam, even.

Not sure if the game is for me, but would like to see Sony release a lot more of those 'AA' type games - they've been seriously lacking on the platform, with the odd exception like this and the excellent Returnal.

Such a fun game. Anyone playing?

Finally managed to get a couple of games in tonight, on Sunday and Monday night I was hitting a wall of server issues, it's really good fun. I rarely play multiplayer games with randoms but the people I've played with were pretty sound. Definitely think it helps that it's all PvE.

Shooting is weighty, games are just long enough to keep things interesting and it's pretty funny too. Hope they can sort the server issues out soon!

The buzz around Helldivers 2 continues to grow following its recent launch on Xbox, and players have much to look forward to with the upcoming 'Into the Unjust' update. Scheduled for release in September, this update promises to deepen the game's already rich universe and enhance the player experience.

With its unique blend of humour and tactical gameplay, Helldivers 2 invites players to embrace the chaos of intergalactic warfare. The 'Into the Unjust' update aims to expand on this foundation, introducing new challenges and possibly fresh content that will keep players engaged.

Arrowhead Game Studios has confirmed that the highly anticipated Redacted Regiment Warbond for Helldivers 2 has been delayed indefinitely. Initially set to launch on January 20, the team has encountered a significant issue during final testing that does not meet their release standards. They emphasise the importance of delivering a polished update, stating, "We want to make sure the update is actually ready for you before it goes live."

This new warbond was designed to enhance the game's stealth mechanics, featuring suppressed weapons and two stealth armour sets, the RS-89 and RS-67. These suits are intended to minimise noise and detection by enemies, promoting a more strategic and stealth-oriented gameplay style. In addition, players would have access to a new booster, Concealed Insertion, which deploys the Hellpod with a smoke grenade for a stealthier entry into combat.

The delay raises concerns about the complexities involved in implementing these stealth features, especially given the game's previously straightforward aggression system. The developers were candid about the potential duration of the delay, leaving players to speculate that it could take several weeks to resolve the issues.

Overall, while the postponement is disappointing, it reflects a commitment to quality that players should appreciate. The update promises to introduce an exciting new gameplay experience when it eventually launches.
