Matias Waschbusch Sports Editor The new breakthrough indie game “Helldivers 2” has revived the live-gaming industry with a fresh take on the multiplayer genre using a Starship Troopers-esque satire of the American Military Industrial complex. Suffering from success, the game launched with constantly filled servers and a buggy interface due to the overwhelming number of players. In recent times the cap has been fixed, with no recent server bottlenecks or wait times to get into the game. Players fight across the galaxy, fighting either the “emotionless, hateful socialists” that are the Automatons or the “mindless” Terminids, whose precious element 710 fuels the galaxy. Each individual mission one player completes contributes to the liberation of a planet of their choosing, which, bundled with every player’s contribution, creates a constantly changing war map that keeps players coming back.
