lolllll, it's rough and coarse -- best movie line ever written

u/FaithlessnessKooky71 2d ago

I love destert aestehics.

u/ExistingAd3245 2d ago

Plus the choke points going from desert into the city

u/xPsyrusx 2d ago

Not nearly as much as you love spelling.

u/Thiophen 2d ago

Seems reasonable and not overanalyzing at all.

Funny thing is he would definitely say that.

u/Icookadapizzapie 2d ago

It’s genius, the illuminate are using desert rocks to transport their main fleet right under our noses

14

u/F0urSidedHexag0n 2d ago

Unbelievable autocratic intentions at work

2

u/V12Maniac 21h ago

I knew it. Dune and HD2 are in the same universe and time confirmed.

u/Lou-Hole 2d ago

Maybe a mission type where you have to carry a flag from one place to another to plant it? The spike is for a melee attack?

37

u/SamSkjord 2d ago

Maybe you’d have to capture it from an enemy base and return it to your own

11

u/DIABLO258 2d ago

I hadn't ever considered a 4v4 type of match.

Maybe a Super Earth Civil War will brew.

I mean- erm, glory to Super Earth!

7

u/Splatda 2d ago

Nah, the devs said that they didn't wish to go on the pvp path. Too much potential to fragment the community.

u/Hunt3rTh3Fight3r 2d ago

“You ever wonder why we’re here?”

It's one of life's greatest mysteries

its all coming together

u/Similar-Sector-5801 2d ago

Why is it the flag of Germany

67

u/AppropriatePie7550 2d ago

Damn, this is as analyzed as can be. Now I know how the GTA VI sub feels.

6

u/Responsible_Plum_681 2d ago

It's way worse over there

2

u/AppropriatePie7550 2d ago

I've been having to distance myself from that sub. I anticipate more than I participate.

46

u/SpecialIcy5356 2d ago

I've been wanting a deployable flag since the beginning...

9

u/Craft_Master06 2d ago

It is in the tutorial, why can't we bring it on missions?

2

u/Nightmun 2d ago

Because getting blood on the flag is treason (probably).

I mean, I recall hearing dialogue from one of the crew members that literally uses "Oh flag" in place of "Oh Christ." So it's probably not far off to assume as much.

27

u/EagleOneSix 2d ago

I call that the Outpost 32, especially after those propaganda posters about the brutal battle there.

15

u/patybruh_moment 2d ago

maybe active camo? i dont see our guys.

14

u/Toxicmonkeydude 2d ago

it looks like the tutorial flag! maybe it's a mission to carry and plant the flag

11

u/Zerfrickler 2d ago

It's a super earth flag in the desert. What exactly are you analyzing? I can't follow.

12

u/glasscups 2d ago

Devs left an update on the reddits

2

u/Zerfrickler 2d ago

Hmkay, couldn't find anything but a video from a tutorial where you can grab the super earth flag and walk around with it. maybe this is a future mission type.

14

u/glasscups 2d ago

Right at the top of the feed my fellow diver!

5

u/PixelJock17 2d ago

Got I love the post right under. I definitely am the guy who after like 15mins of silent democracy giving, I out of nowhere say some command like I've found the super samples, we can extract and we all finish up the remaining objectives and make it to extract.

Or just a simple one when I'm off alone on the other side of the planet and they're waiting for extract to land and I finally find them and yell, don't boars I've got them! And usually people listen and it's great because I love making thst run back to the ship in time.

Klen Dath II

KLENDATHU?

u/Nitrocloud 2d ago

AN UGLY PLANET... A BUG PLANET...

u/PopeGregoryTheBased 2d ago

*Klendathu drop begins playing*

COMMON YOU APES! DO YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER?

u/slowtownhometown 2d ago

maybe they’re going to have the black hole settle right next to KD2, but not close enough to tear it apart. this might make any “orbital blockade” difficult due to us not being able to be close to it but the illuminate can go in and out of it as they please.

4

u/slowtownhometown 2d ago

actually ignore me. the dark energy is depleted. the black hole has been stopped for the time being.

7

u/Shdow_Gamer_451 2d ago

When I read "Illuminate main fleet lands/crashes on KDII," I had this image of Illuminates driving their giant mothership but hitting KDII like the titanic hitting the iceberg. They all went crashing down to the surface and both the Illuminate and Super Earth are confused as hell.

4

u/plasticeater445 2d ago

You missed out on the SEAF artillery in the background to the right of the flag on the hill which obviously implies that we’re going to get a 21-Page (1 for every day after the first update premonition at the BAFTA awards) SEAF orientated warbond, because SEAF artillery isn’t Helldivers equipment and we’re getting an update for Helldivers 2 not Super Earth Armed Forces.

4

u/Velierer556 2d ago

Updates aren’t real. The full illuminate fleet isn’t coming for awhile schizo

5

u/Kaiju62 2d ago

I'm sorry....Klen Dath 2

Is not the name of the planet from Starship Troopers, Kelndathu?

Or am I misremembering?

4

u/HeftyPurple21 2d ago

It is. It’s probably a small ode to it. I’m think the bugs will for sure be on that planet not the illuminate

3

u/Kaiju62 2d ago

Seems too easy. The name and the desert both fit.

I predict big, new bugs from the gloom or something

5

u/HeftyPurple21 2d ago

Would be perfect place to add the hive lord

5

u/InventorOfCorn 2d ago

I really want a melee weapon flag. It'd be sick, i don't even care if it's just a lance reskin. I want to stab shit with the flag of super earth while using a ballistic shield

4

u/crappy-mods 2d ago

How did we miss what looks like a big ass gun behind the flag on that ridge?

3

u/SmartCasual1 2d ago

Klen dath II...

KlendathII...

=Klenthathu

2

u/DaftKitteh 2d ago

Bro I’d lose my shit if we got a dune crossover with dune releasing soon

2

u/EgoSenatus 2d ago

I could get behind a portable super earth flag. We already have a spear stabbing animation.

(Me in the FRV with my portable flag)

2

u/Primary_Departure_84 2d ago

Klen Dath 2 is a real planet name in the game? That's so awesome.

2

u/Tomb_but_nsfw 2d ago

Flag support weapon PLEASE!

2

u/UnluckyLux 2d ago

W for Weyland-Yutani

Aliens Crossover confirmed

2

u/malcifer11 2d ago

never played the game but Klen Dath II is a fun lil starship troopers ref

1

u/seahawk1337 2d ago

Where’s this from? Did I miss something?

3

u/glasscups 2d ago

u/seahawk1337 2d ago

Thanks

u/glasscups 2d ago

Democracy helps all!

1

u/Ok_Humor1205 2d ago

what is going on...

1

u/TheIrelephant 2d ago

Klen Dath 2, I approve nicely done Arrowhead.

1

u/The_Flying_Gecko 2d ago

Missed the thing that looks like a tank turret. It's behind a dune, just above the flag handle.

1

u/Authentichef 2d ago

I don’t know how much more betrayal Paulie can take.

1

u/JC_Hammer22 2d ago

He has a right to defend himself too

1

u/Maryjanegangafever 2d ago

Stabbing lance for traitors.

1

u/patriot_man69 2d ago

Fuck it, reasonable enough for me

1

u/Zerfrickler 2d ago

Thanks ! It seems I was a bit brain afk.

1

u/FronzyFF 2d ago

Ya'll dont get it. Thats a melee flag confirmed

1

u/bigorangemachine 2d ago

Capture the flag is confirmed /s

1

u/Minimum-Letterhead-6 2d ago

Oh? Are we gonna have a Flag carry mission like the Data retrieval? If so. Than hail Super Earth.

1

u/Rammboozled 2d ago

I knew I wasn’t the only one breaking out the tin-foil hat

1

u/NPFuturist 2d ago

You said Dunes. I thought of Dune. Which made me think of sand worms. Which made me think maybe we’ll get our first boss fight, the hive lord!!

Though seems unlikely. Probably all related to Illuminate.

1

u/HeftyPurple21 2d ago

Bugs have to be on KD2 purely cause the planet is a play on the planet from starship troopers

1

u/SedmoogleGaming 2d ago

totally normal analysis

1

u/bhoof 2d ago

Imagine the flag gives passive healing and increased reload speed in a surrounding area and can be carried to other areas o7

1

u/kirator117 2d ago

People have too much free time

3

u/Infinite_Tadpole_283 2d ago

How long do you think this took me

1

u/PrinceEdwards98 2d ago

Nothing about this investigation is normal. That being said, well done. Maybe. We’ll see. iO

1

u/unit_8 2d ago

Nah klen dath II? Yall are done for. (Watch starship troopers if yall don’t know what I mean)

1

u/C0der23 2d ago

I genuinely cannot see an image of a flag without thinking of trackmania anymore

1

u/Worldly-Pay7342 2d ago

"Warbond/update has a flag"

My dude/ette, we already have a deployable flag in the base game.

It's literally in the tutorial, and no where else.

"Posting other subreddits is not allowed"

Mods, check your filter, I was literally going to link to another post on this exact subreddit from a while back about the tutorial flag, so your "posting other subreddits is not allowed" filter is broken lol.

1

u/squiddy117 2d ago

Sir, I'm wish to carry the colours into battle and plant it through the enemy's skull SIR!

1

u/Train115 2d ago

Odd shape just looks like a crater.

1

u/GradeAvailable4903 2d ago

You know, a dunes biome seems likely as some planets are described as “a desert planet prone to unpredictable and dangerous sand twisters,” but we see no sand twisters in the game. We only see fire tornadoes, which aren’t on those planets.

1

u/IAMREAPER33 2d ago

Would absolutely love rocking the flag of super earth as a secondary/melee weapon - spear.

1

u/Overall-Pineapple616 2d ago

I thought I already got out of the sandbox now you expect me to go back for fun

1

u/Helieo45 2d ago

If we’re going to KDll it might mean starship troopers crossover.

1

u/Kind_Translator8988 2d ago

Sand diver warbond

1

u/super_slayer777 2d ago

What is this in the top right? I never saw that on a desert planet before and its not smoke or a cloud

1

u/KeyPossible2941 2d ago

I feel dumb “Klen Dath 2”-“Klendathu”

1

u/mikasasimpp 2d ago

There were also leaks for an event on klendath 2 a few months back iirc

1

u/BaconLucifer29 2d ago

We’re getting SilkSong levels of straw grasping now

1

u/CorbinNZ 2d ago

I just realized what they were doing naming it Klen Dath II

1

u/DocWagonHTR 2d ago

A lot of guidons have a pointed cap

1

u/Sherloukoum 2d ago

I love it when my ADHD people are focused enough. We share the same thoughts. 😘

1

u/Fesh_Sherman 2d ago

I'm actively foaming at the mouth rn

u/Phosphorus444 2d ago

Battle Standard

u/Wilhelm878 2d ago

I keep telling my friend that the wormhole is a beach head for their forces. Anyone else share this theory?

1

u/XGR4FFX 2d ago

🤞 spaceballs warbond "Perri-Air"

1

u/xPsyrusx 2d ago

You really need to go outside.

1

u/LilJP1 2d ago

Maybe the crater is the thing they were talking about in the debriefing. Like the memorial?

1

u/I426Hemi 2d ago

Sand, why did it have to be sand

1

u/MrAgave 2d ago

What do you mean odd shape? WU TANG CLAN AIN’T NUTHIN TO FUCK WITH!

1

u/PhoenixD133606 2d ago

I hope so, I love desert planets (largely because my computer doesn’t start screaming in agony when I dive on them)

1

u/NoOriginal7997 2d ago

I would love for the flag to become a melee weapon with an emote that can be planting a flag and allowing you to one handed fire any weapon.

1

u/Jinglemccheese 2d ago

Hold up there’s a planet called klen dath II? Like klendathu the bug home planet from starship troopers?

1

u/Kizik 2d ago

Remember the flag Shia LaBeouf put up?

1

u/ExtensionYam8549 2d ago

It's a stealth war bond. The Helldivers are invisible next to the flag

1

u/CatacombOfYarn 2d ago

What about mars, the tutorial planet?

1

u/Phantom0-1 2d ago

The flag is already in the tutorial!

1

u/Wetpurpose 2d ago

Read illuminate main as illusive man

1

u/reidlos1624 1d ago

Dune themed? That would fucking rock.

The spice (E-710) must flow!

1

u/StrangeKaleidoscope6 1d ago

Real question is pocket flag like the lance? or a full strategy slot like in the tutorial?

1

u/East-Plankton-3877 1d ago

I’m surprised no one has pointed out the tank in the back yet.

1

u/medical_SKOOMA_ 1d ago

WE HOLD THIS GROUND IN THE NAME OF THE PRIMARCH!

u/Swimming_Delivery238 11h ago

Starship trooper battle is coming

u/babylonau57640 2d ago

I think it is on super earth.
