My first dives in Helldivers 2's Illuminate Super Earth invasion were a brutal, chaotic disaster, and the Halo ODST in me loved every second of it

Helldivers 2.

Despite the valiant best efforts of countless of Lady Liberty's finest over the course of several months, the unthinkable has happened: the Illuminate have reached Super Earth itself in Helldivers 2, and are now deploying to the surface of the heart of Managed Democracy itself with a gargantuan invasion fleet. Though forward defensive holds from the Helldivers managed to weaken the fleet's strength by 21.5%, the remainder of its forces are now flooding into Super Earth's fortified Mega Cities, with Eagleopolis its first primary target.

Indeed, the Battle for Super Earth has well and truly begun, officially kicking off alongside this morning's Heart of Democracy update that introduced missions that take place entirely within Mega City walls. I dove a few times late last night before falling into bed and then again this afternoon to check them out, and hoo boy: they are something else.
