I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Can someone sales pitch help divers and the other one?

I’ve noticed a thriving hell diver community here and I need to decide if I want in

Helldivers is a game where you play in a squad of 1-4 (solo, friends, or it'll pair you with randoms) to drop down to planets and try to survive against bugs or automatons while completing some objectives.

The galaxy map is dynamic, with aliens pushing from multiple directions toward "Super Earth", and the more the entire community fights on planets, the more they're pushed back. Planets can be liberated, or we can lose them (RIP Malevelon Creek). It's chaotic and fun, and basically "Starship Troopers the video game".

And the automaton part feels like being in "Terminator the video game"
