Actually, he's talking about Second Extrasolar War which it was started when Helghast invaded Vekta from the first game. But the whole conflict between ISA and Helghast, starting with First Extrasolar War, it was UCN, supported by ISA, started it.
The old lady at the voting booths said Helghast is not a current political party to vote for. Lets just say shes being re educated with new insights into our cause…
He's not wrong though. He was talking about Second Extrasolar War. Helghast invaded Vekta to reclaim their original homeworld as seen in the first game is the start Second Extrasolar War, but the whole thing between ISA and Helghast, long before Vekta invasion, it was UCN supported by ISA started the hostility.
Can’t remember the exact reason but pretty sure the ISA don’t have constant exposure like the Helghast do. They can go into their filtered air ships whenever iirc
I know I'm very late - but even the Helghast can breathe without the masks, they just continue to wear them as symbolism. So I assume the ISA were able to vaccinate their troops or give them some sort of inhalers in case they struggled to breathe.
@@battenburg6089 I suppose so considering that the ISA has highly advanced tech, which could allow them to breathe the toxic air, plus as you said, decades of Helgan terraforming would make the atmosphere far less toxic than it use to be,

It has a kind of Allies vs Axis vibe to it when you're younger and don't know any better, but when you actually consider the backstory, you realize this is not the case

This was the first game where I realised we were the bad guys.

Its so badass and well made , after Killzone 1 intro , the totaly caught the mood again .
hrm.
yes....Lore-wiss, for it all. this franchise's verse I mean.
So much potential. Guerrilla absolutely killed with this game. I don't know why they just ended it.
The best theory as to why: they realized in total overloading horror that people sympathized with the Helghasts and wanted to play as them

Sadly, Not a Lot of proper Space battle scenarios there from guerrilla from back then....
behind you
Dear developers. Stop making the badguys more sympathetic and cooler.
Glory for Helgan!
"bad guys" are just optics. Fighting for your people, kin, freedom, and against evil is the anti-thesis of bad.
The old lady at the voting booths said Helghast is not a current political party to vote for. Lets just say shes being re educated with new insights into our cause…
and in return: terracide for those Rebel colonists from that one world-only anyways.
A masterpiece
