- Helldivers 2 is some of the most fun I've had playing game since Elden Ring. This game is WAY better than it has any reason to be and I want to share some of my funniest and best moments before I post my review! Enjoy and KEEP THE FIGHT GOING!!

THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG!

Praise be my friend
Hello Fellow Helldiver!!!
Can you please do sunset overdrive🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 i’ve asked this over 15 times
It went straight from goofy heroic satire to the thousand-yard stare simulator.
Bruh, the trees are speaking binary meme is a vibe. One second, it's quiet the next you're fighting half the continent with three other people.
Nothing but darkness and red dots approaching.
Dropped expecting a squad fill and no dice. Decided I’ve got this. I extracted but a piece of me is still on that planet. After I picked my heart up from the floor I check my watch and stress levels through the roof
Back I'm mal creek the damn trees were speaking binary
Take note. You DONT wanna stand your ground in a fight with the automatons. Hit the objective and anything big like a tank or Hulk and once done, disengage and GTFO immediately from the fight so you can do th either objectives and any POI’s without getting bogged down
Arrowhead really caught lightning in a bottle with Helldivers 2
between helldivers 1 and HD2, this is probably the biggest glowup ive ever seen with a game.
@@Codester86I second that, they really spent time in the kitchen.
Can’t imagine how nervous they were before launch. From HD1 - HD2 is a gamble. Glad it paid off for them.
I got that tho...
@@chrisbrown113096truly a Cinderella story…I’m happy for them

It’s hilarious that certain people were saying the game would die within a week or two, yet it’s shaping up to be the next Left 4 Dead- a co op game that will last for a long, long time.
That's what people said about Darktide.

Playing Automatons missions feels like a bunch of noble six standoffs on the hardest difficulty
Hey, big fan 😄
nah more like 1v1ing a jackal sniper on legendary in an open arena
Actman 3 minutes into a bot mission. "THE TREES ARE SPEAKING BINARY! THE FOREST WONT STOP CLANKING!!!"
Space-Nam and robo-gooks
The stupid civilian mission with the bots is so OP, it's beyond stupid.
What?
finding a bot patrol marching and singing was fucking wild
“We are going in the first wave…just means more bots for us to kill. You smash the entire area and scrap any bot you see, do you get me!?” -Sargent Mandos speaking to Helldivers of the 364th before the disaster of malevelon creek

I love that his helldivers review is just him playing helldivers
The best review, honestly. Can't really put this game into words. Anything I try to SAY to someone will fail at doing the game justice.
Forgive me for saying so, but he hasn’t made the full review yet, this is kinda just showing him playing the game and having fun
He explicitly said this is not the review
Keep in mind, this is AFTER they nerfed the Automotans. They used to call in even more troops. Tier 3 bot missions were as tough as current day tier 7 bug
Not only is the game super fun but it's cinematic as hell too. I'm constantly in awe at the cool moments and visuals.
Isn't it great when a game doesn't have DEI and all that woke shit? Maybe ACT Man will be able to address the lack of pronouns in the game like he did for Starfield. 😅
Dude the game is covered in fog. You must just be playing on easy.
@@hmsp77 What?
@@FuzzyWalrus123 That's not difficulty-based, it's planet-based. You probably have the 'Intense Heat' modifier. Erata, perhaps?
Move to a different planet and there won't be fog.
@@hmsp77 Haha, what the fuck?
You've become the thing you hate: someone that randomly brings up wokeness and pronouns for no reason.
To me this Halo ODST mixed with terminator and starship troopers, love it.
Right on the money. These were my exact thoughts and that’s why I love it so much.
Accurate. And throw in a healthy dose of Warhammer 40K too; bot "Hulks" are literally just space marine Dreadnoughts, and the Termanids are a mix of SST Arachnids and W40K Tyranids.
All in all? A nearly perfect combination of stuff.
there is literally NOTHING Halo about it....I don't know why people feel this need to constantly try to compare this to something.
@@lutherheggs451Do you seriously not see the comparison between the ODSTs and the Helldivers?
That bot-planet needed some vehicles shenanigans of sorts
"You are so dead."
"NAH, you underestimate my FREEDOM!" 🤣🤣🤣
Star Wars reference lol
This one was hilarious, but the best line has to be "ok where do we extract...- That's the neat part, you don't" xD
Heres something interesting and somewhat related. An ex-343 employee has revealed that there was an ODST Themed Game that was very similar to helldivers 2 in design being proposed. It was shot down, not once but multiple seperate times. And seeing the reception to Helldivers 2. I'd say Microsoft and 343 missed a huge goldmine.
Gamers were robbed by shortsighted execs. And Xbox players are still being robbed of the experience. It's a straight up travesty that they never greenlit that ODST game
I hate how they refuse to do something fun with the franchise, they hace everything to do a battlefront style game, it would awesome, but no, more coatings it's what we get :'v
Just like Microsoft turning down Spider-Man 😂
Probably, if we're giving the benefit of the doubt, the people in charge knew Halo's popularity stemmed a LOT from its multiplayer and story, and the popularity of Master Chief. A Halo-universe PvE only game that doesn't feature the Chief likely would struggled to find success.
Absolutely
The starship trooper halo-ness draws you in, then as you move to the harder difficulties it becomes a rush and the game becomes addictive. Similar to winning boss fights in souls games
The game is western EDF
Or spicy food
@@AlecAkin spicy food is a boss fight for me, anything more than a korma I’m done
Act maaaaam
Helldivers 2 is genuinely one of the most fun co-op experiences to come out of the last couple years, it’s such a breath of fresh air with all the other crappy live service games. The devs seem to actually care about their community and want to improve their game which is always great to see. The gameplay loop is addicting and satisfying and blowing bugs up with orbital strikes is always amazing. I can’t stress how good this game is lmao. If you haven’t had the chance to pick it up and have the opportunity, please get helldivers 2 already!
My only gripe about the game is my inability to play it since I'm on xbox and can't afford anything that can play it
@@cassgaming2383 yeah that’s really unfortunate, the game would only benefit more from Xbox users being able to play but oh well one could only dream.
Best coop or online game since Ghost of Tsushima Legends
@@cassgaming2383funny. Only a month ago You couldnt be anywhere on a video showing palworld without Xbox fans were like “haha PlayStation doesnt have this haha”. Well look How the turns have tabled. In all seriousness though. You wont regret investing in a ps5. Its the best purchase of my life.
@Syldarin I want palworld on Playstation. I have ps5 friends and they really want to play it with me
Helldivers 2 is the only game that has had me hooked enough to play late into the night in a long while. Even with some optimisation issues and occasional crashes it has not gotten in the way of the great experience this game has to offer.
Same here I play every night until 1am and wake up for work at 6 lol
Do you guys play by yourselves?
@@RJTradessI play w fandoms but I’ve met 2 w mics that I’ve been playing w recently
You didnt experiment the 30 min in crash didnt you. It happened to me twice in 4 games. I dont have a lot of time to play so it was very frustrating
Recently hit level 50 playing almost always against Automaton here.
To do the Essential Personel Evacuate you need to drop the team halfway to the edge of the map. Bring as much firepower as you can - Mortar Sentry essential for drawing in as much attention as possible. Dropships need to keep dropping on the distraction squad.
1 guy has to sneak into base and start opening doors after dropships are dropping off troops elsewhere, far away from base.
Snake !!!!
Arrowhead: *Hits blunt* What if we just made the game a giant meme?
Sony: Get to it.
Dude, this is Arrowhead's mission statement. Have you seen Magicka?
@@The1Corrupted nope

“If you haven’t played it for some reason?” Cries in Xbox. Thanks Actman

Amen to that. Hopefully some point it comes over to Xbox, but only time will tell.
As a mobile gamer i understand your pain
@@NaturalHeist oooof. That's rough.
I'd love for that to happen. Mainly so I could play with some of my family. But I don't think it'll ever happen to be honest. It isn't just a game Sony published, they also own the IP. So it would be like God Of War or Horizon coming over in their eyes. I hope they play nice and let it happen, especially after Xbox brought over some of their games. @@AlmightyRager95
2:21 "It's not treason if it's funny."
-Fleekazoid
yes sir
Try playing a game of "dodge the 380 mm bombardment" next time you're playing with your friends. Its good fun!
you seem to be well versed in the Geneva suggestion
Yes sir
2:09 I was expecting the ship name to be "Patriot of Patriotism" 😂😂
I am writing that one down. The "Princess of Patriotism" mentioned in the video is a close contender as well. 😎🤪
Makes me want a Starship Troopers game even more
there is Starship Troopers Extermination
There are two of them
Not as good as helldivers though. A very different game...
There is 2 Starship Troopers: Extermination, a co-op strategic fps made by the same people who made Squad. And Starship Troopers: Terran Command, an RTS.
@@maddog7012They asked for a Starship Troopers game so I told them about one, its actually a pretty good shooter, and does a good job recreating what the feel of the Starship Trooper's movie
This game would've taken up all my free time back when I was in high school... and still had friends to play this with. This would've been the perfect LAN party game.
I know exactly how you feel, still if you find some time its great fun to drop in with a random squad and play a 5-10 minute mission.
So if it hasnt already been said yet, those personnel extraction missions are bugged due to a recent patch. Ordinarily, the bots may have 2 dropships, then you have around 30-45 seconds to kill them before the next wave. As they are now, its nonstop and almost impossible on higher difficulties without using a stealth/distraction strategy
I've been yearning for a fun coop shooter ever since the Overwatch 2 PVE announcement, This.... This is it..... I LOVE THIS GAME
Still baby face W
9:30 me and my buddy also went for the "First Civilian evac on a bot planet mission" experience
It went exactly as well as you expected it to go
This is looking to be a fantastic year for gaming
Act Ma'am
the Braveheart line of automatons coming for you guys is amazing. This game just has so many good moments that are meme-able. I haven't had this much fun playing games since like highschool playing Halo 2 custom games with friends. This has brought back that feeling of gaming that i haven't had in yearssss.
Helldivers is pretty sick. I like when you tried to drop an orbital strike on a silverback gorilla and instead blew up and burned a bridge with an unrelated third party. It may have cost you a hell of a lot of credibility and makes you look incompetent, inept, emotional and borderline sociopathic, but at least you got that gorilla right? Right?
I love that it's so chaotic. Half the time I can't even figure out what to aim at. Just explosions, air strikes, turrets, oorah.
And damn the low vision levels.
You swallowed your own WHAT? 🤣
HD2 is just about everything I've wanted in a co-op game.
Glorious.
Get your backwards leap off a ledge to excape a charging bug or explosion and ragdoll away on hitting the ground, and still somehow get up and keep fighting.
good shit.
Hayo act man! 3D generalist here.
Cool foods for thought, not every sky is a sky box. There are WONDEROUS things you can do to your game now that allow for super realistic atmospheres, that actually won't contain a skybox. Particle systems, flat cards, animated processes, swimming textures, they all work together to create elaborate environments!
Don't get me wrong, I thought everything in the air was a sky box too. But actually nowadays you can use sooo much more, especially with node systems now? It's insane!
Love how the sky looks, love how the game plays, love all your videos buddy! Have an amazing day ok? ❤
4:30 100% deserved 😂
Bro, this game has me all for it. I can scream For Freedom as much as I can scream For the Emperor.
2:09 ayye I named my ship the Fist of Patriotism too! Lol a man of culture, I see🤝🏽
Smithers: I heard something about a "fisting".
I love how much personality the game has. Even the loading screens and mission failures have spirit.
hey act ma'am how about playing one of those woke games by sweet baby inc you love so much
So glad this series is getting the love, memes, and attention it deserves! Series transitioned from tactical isometric stick shooter to a FPS horror [thousand yard stare]. They need to release bosses soon for the real challenge.
Keep up the good work, Act Man! Love your vids!
The thousand yard stare is just looking at the LIBERTY on the horizon, soldier!
dude I have to get this game!! every video and piece of content i've watched just makes me want to play more. It really looks like the next top co-op game of the next years
You were wrong
my favorite training manual tip so far: Dont Drink and Drive
79.4 hours on the game here. I have been waiting for him to deliver a Helldivers 2 video, and I'm so glad he did. I've been playing Overwatch 2 and this game had the grandiose to rip me away from it. I had 1218 hours on Overwatch 2 by the way.
I love this guy. Spread that Democracy and stay free boys.
This game ripped me away from destiny 2. I'm glad my main addiction has been quelled for now. Hopefully they keep this game fresh for a while so I can fully kick my addiction to D2
7:56 that dive as a strike came down behind you was something straight out of a action movie. Awesome
there's so many chances for great action movie setpieces in this game its actually wild. It happens very organically too
Thanks to the underrated physics
This game really does make you feel straight out of a war movie
@@intraelement2633lots of witch involve diving
So was 8:04
For extracting personnel mission vs bots its good to have 1 person in light armour hiding near the console in between uses. The rest of the team just blind fire to grab agro, thin out the bots and stick away from the rout the npc take. Even leave the complex and go into the trees/rocks for cover. Not a 100% win rate but it really helps when the bots don't accidentally agro on the npc by running into them.
impossible in pugs but if you have a premade able to talk it can work surprisingly well.
As a fellow full time RUclipsr. Thank God I had a smash hit video last month. Otherwise I'd be in serious financial trouble thanks to this damn game.
Wouldn’t be so bad. You seem like a disingenuous, war mongering grifter judging by your anti-Russian propaganda channel.
Eyy yo dude. You're getting quite a few views for a channel that doesn't really upload that often. You should be proud of that because it's something not many people can achieve and it usually reflects the quality of someones content.
Keep grinding dude, hope everything goes well for you.
This game is a certified banger. Most games the cinematic movie parts are just s*** you have to watch and this game the awesome cinematic parts are you actually playing... THANK YOU
Act Man: "Helldivers 2 is pretty good."
*Only shows gameplay*
The gameplay in a game should speak for itself. I understand the need for a deep dive but the game is pure unadulterated fun.
He literally said he’s doing an in depth review
The sounds, the gore, the gameplay, everything about this screams AWESOME!
I was waiting for this let's go!!
I got teamed up with a bunch of level 40+ players last night.. They treat Orbitals and Eagle strikes like a normal frag grenade.. I can't even get annoyed at them, it's so funny it's addicting

Totally unrelated comment, I just saw that Command & Conquer Renegade has a listing on the steam store. We must notify the Acting Mail Man of this.

I like how he dodges out of the way of an acid death behind cover, casually lays on his back, and calls in reinforcements. Like a dad figuring out how to uber eats from his apple watch on the couch. lol.
All of you holding out against the Automatons remind me of that scene from The Clone Wars, I think it’s Crisis at the Heart where it’s the Clones holding off against the near endless forces of the Droids and the last dude with the Minigun holding out till death
Tool
It's ma'am...It is ma'am
#azwasright
4:09 deserved 🤣💀
So for that extract researchers mission, me and my friends discovered that the bots only spawn where the players are getting action, so if you drop outside the extract area and ONE person with stealth armor goes into the researcher base, they can lay beside a button and save them. For Democracy brothers and sisters
I always play with my 3 friends,and i just love the "oops,big boy bomb,Run Guys!" move😂😂😂
This game is seriously insane! Fun solo, fun with friends - it has it all! Certified banger
If there's one thing Arrowhead does right, it's idiotic fun with co-optional games. They're the people behind the first Magicka too (but not the other Magicka games).
Bro when I got to the ship naming screen and I saw “wings” in the first column I IMMEDIATELY started looking for “of redemption” in the second column. I could not stop laughing when I found it, it has been my ship name since and I will never change my ship name again 😂😂💀
The escort quest on the bot planets are insane. Sometimes even on easy mode they just keep spawning!
Can't wait for Asmongold to react to the YT drama that just unfolded between the Act Man/HeelvsBabyface/MauLer. This isn't looking good for you the Act Man...
oh he reacted alright...
They run in the same circle and that means that Asmon will be very very biased and take things out of context. Always happens when one of his friends starts drama.
@@TheBloopers30 I love Asmongold but he is absolutely pathetic when it comes to people he's biased towards, like Hasan. If anyone random says the STUPID F***ing things Hasan says, Asmon would rip them to pieces. But when Hasan says it, Asmon is okay with it and defends it pathetically. Asmon is pretty unintelligent a lot of the time, still a cool content creator but he needs to get his head out of his ass sometimes. Clown Man isn't a good creator in the slightest, just another pathetic shill.
@@eldenvedetta635Used to watch him a lot back in 2016 - 2019. He changed when he became more mainstream and started hanging out with other streamers(same group Hasan is hanging with). Also, a lot of them are under the same company which explains a lot.
Even if it isn't about one of his friends, he sometimes just ignore context to make his point sound better. I hate that.
It's sad because I know he has talent and have showed very good logical thinking in the past. And I love the love he had/has for his parents, just very nice to see/hear.
People will tell you that he hasn't changed but trust me he has. He used to talk a lot of shit back then and of course had some "wrong" takes here and there but it felt like he himself really didn't take it too seriously. He only got evolved in drama around WoW and actually kinda refused to become another react streamer at the time.
@TheBloopers30 I still like his content more than most anyone but he has such low intelligence on some takes it does honestly piss me off, Asmon that is. Act Man I have zero respect or care for, he's the definition of a shill grifter who would do anything for clout
I might have been playing this game too much. Last night I dreamt that me and the squad were actually Helldivers, except we weren’t given armor or weapons besides what we brought ourselves. I was trying to kill bugs with a Winchester .243 and it was terrifying.
"You are so gonna die."
"Nah. You underestimate my FREEDOM!" At 9:53 made my laugh so hard i spit out my cheerios.
I got all the Starship Troopers references 😂
‘Whiskey outpost, Whiskey outpost. This is Roughneck 2-0’ 😂
This game is way too fucking good and from what it sounds like it's just going to get better and keep giving us more reasons to check back in. This is the type of game that has the ability to permanently change the gaming environment
you and Heels need to cut the shit. You both call out bullshit and we like it.

Just apologize dude
I just want to say I love your content. This is the last thing I want to say to you. You've been a dick. Apologize, at least, to Mauler for breaking his trust.
One of my favorite Act Man videos of recent memory. Haven't played HD2, May take me awhile to get it and get some friends into it but I've followed the whole release and all the successes and failures so far. I wish arrowhead nothing but success and as soon as I can convince some friends to but in, you'll have another 3-4 game sales. Looking forward to a long dev cycle like HD1.
fucking amazing video, love seeing the boys getting into it.
Helldivers 2 is such a fun game. Good video.
But what's not good is the video you made on Twitter. The irony of the post you made about HeelvsBabyface and now about SBI should have been obvious as to why he's calling you out, not content farming. And the reason he refused to engage with you after you made your Starfield hot takes video.
Before putting out a "WHY is Helldivers 2 so AWESOME" video (which I will be waiting btw) please apologize for the mistake you did, if you at least want to keep your integrity.
This whole drama is the sole reason I watched my first ever video of HeelsvsBabyface.
I still want to watch your content Act Man ever since your Star Wars videos and CoD videos but man, you should patch this up quickly...
