With freshly introduced Control Group, the newest premium warbond, the players flow into the deep side of chaos. The update heavily employs using enemy technology against them: Overclocked weapons, prototype armor, and gear for “bleeding edge justice.” Half of the gaming population seems to be agitated regarding the matter, while others question the bugs, microtransactions, or the lack of features.
The Control Group Warbond went live today, directly after that somewhat dramatic tease from the helm official Helldivers 2 Twitter: “Today we seize our enemies’ unholy machinations… and turn them on their cowardly selves.” Obviously, as the weapons and armor provided are of the highest levels, the opinions have been genuinely mixed so far. Some players are like, Fade included, that this is finally a cool warbond, while others are like, “Ew” LG it’s the volley gun with light armor penetration.
However, there would be chaos with an update for Helldivers 2. Some players are frustrated with changes to the mission map, with Hasselpoof complaining about the visibility of SOS beacons being decreased: “I always liked to find SOS beacons quick and easy, but now I have to wait a long time.” Others would like simply to play without the interruption of being disconnected-from Derreck Doan: “I just want to play a session without losing connection 🤷🏽♂️.”
Then debates take place on microtransactions. Rich8606 was almost pointing out that this warbond pricing structure might actually not be profitable for the devs. “This is worrying, they’re not making money off the microtransaction,” he also said, admitting he bought virtual currency only once. Meanwhile, UKgrizzly wondered, “Why wasn’t the warbond token available ages ago to anyone that already has Super Citizen Edition?”
Starting with theorizing for upcoming updates, Corvus speculates that the zombies will be a faction stemming from failed experiments on Super Earth. Others would like more vehicles; as for the eternal PS5 debate, SEBAGAMING_YT alleges the game “doesn’t work on PS5,” while Kazuto Kirigaja and others responded, “Huh? The game works fine on my PS5 😮.”
Are these complaints drowning out the hype of all things live? Unknown4me1 said the Control Group Warbond is “promising to be one of the best,” and Itsonemore23 would be purchasing it the moment it is available. Unfortunately, with the bugs, connection issues, and microtransaction uproar, the new Helldivers 2 update might be equally mad as his game. Laying the question on the crowd: Is it worth the Super Credits or hype? Whatever the answer is, one thing’s sure; even if the servers go down, democracy never sleeps.
