I had to come straight to kind of funny. I didn't get to look at any of this.

So you knew this was coming because I am your resident Helldivers correspondent, your war correspondent, and the Illuminate have been off the map for a while. Yes. And the messaging from Super Earth has been, well, that about wraps up for the Illuminate. Don't have to worry about them anymore.

So, of course, you're going, oh, man, every time they say that, you know they're just coming back ten times fucking worse.

Is there going to be sound on this?

Not my precious Super Earth. What have they done? You motherfuckers.

I know what I'm doing for the rest of the day. I'm firing that puppy up. So, a couple of things. Let's talk about it, Gary. This is, I mean, we'll wait and see how they've implemented it, but on its face, this is what the game has needed for a while. It needed a big shot in the arm. Because the game's great. I still play it every single fucking day. I have more than 2,000 hours in that game.

But the Illuminate, even though when they brought them in with Omens of Tyranny, it was very nice to have a third faction. Generally, when I play, unless there's a major order that you have to deal with them, I don't bother with the Illuminate. Because to me, they're the least fun faction to play. Because there's less variety in the enemies than with the others. With like...

I've never counted it, but if you're fighting the automatons, they've got so many different types of enemies. Very cool. The Illumina have got five different things. You've got the Overseers, they've got the Voatless, they've got the big tripods, and one or two other little things. But there isn't as much variety in the enemy types as with the other two.

It kind of felt like they soft-launched the Illumina. This feels like the hard launch. This is it. So a couple of things that people have been wanting for a while is, like, pump up, make the Illuminate more interesting to fight. I mean, don't get me wrong. I mean, those tripods are fucking brutal. And those overseers are the worst.

And the other thing is, like, the thing we've been waiting for the longest time is, like, we want to fight on Super Earth. We want to defend Super Earth.
