Helldivers 2 players have been wondering whether they're the good guys or whether they're just mercilessly eradicating an entire species.
Helldivers 2's new Major Order will let PS5 players unlock one of two new Stratagems, and there's already a clear winner rising up.
Choohe is locked behind another planet forcing players to liberate 2 planets and the reward for Penta is a weapon, not another stratagem so it makes sense.
If the weapon were on Choohe, that would be liberated.
I see this as a way to encourage the community to utilize platforms like Reddit to organize as a community.
We decide which new thing we want, and coordinate accordingly.
MAJOR ORDER: Helldivers, it's time to choose between liberating Choohe or Penta. Depending on your choice, you will receive either the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines or the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher.
(And you'll save the citizens. Don't forget the citizens.)

Arrowhead is teasing an expansion to your Stratagem arsenal, but PS5 players are unclear what these new tricks will bring to the table.
This is getting a bit ridiculous now (the amount of articles on this game) I know it’s the new hot property and everyone’s talking about it, but sites and seeing this as an opportunity and jumping on the bandwagon for cheap clicks
Perhaps only approve big updates to games, such as: version 1.5 / version 2.0, etc not every little tweak to gameplay
Just an idea
To be fair, from my experience, the majority of players in Helldivers understand the satire and criticism of fascism in this game, pretty much like it is with Starship Troopers, and most just roleplay being aware of the circunstances and even in that post on Reddit most of the players show that they do understand the intentions of the lore. So, yeah, there are some that are beggining to question who's good and who's bad, but most players already knew the answers and paralels to history since day 1 or quickly were able to connect the dots
Seemed pretty obvious from the beginning we weren't the good guys in that game just like starship troopers
"i want to make a movie so painfully obvious in its satire that everyone who understands it lives in perpetual psychological torment inflicted on them by all the people who don't"
- paul verhoeven, director of starship troopers
This is when you add a commander mode so someone can control the other side like an RTS game.
I thought everyone knew this when they released the first game almost a decade ago
So pretty much Ender’s Game but flavored like Starship Troopers.
