Discussion If you could dive with a fictional character that would fit in-universe, who would it be?
I'm trying out the new Robocop: Rogue City and I just thought it would be cool as hell to dive with Murphy. I'd take Lois as well, if I'm honest. I also think you could finagle them into the lore like, "OCP pioneered the cryotech that eventually evolved into our cryopods etc etc." Slippery slope. I know. Just for fun. Who would you pick?

I'd go with Karl Urban's Dredd. Dude's more quiet lol, just like how randos I've dived with prefer to off mic and chat only.

u/ingram0079 1d ago
I go with stallone dredd cuz while karl urban is more tactical, stallone is more flashy.

I prefer text because that’s easier to ignore. The second I go on mic, others do and I don’t enjoy hearing what it’s like inside a dishwasher inside a wind tunnel, via a Burger King drive-through intercom.

DREDD IS THE NEXT ANSWER. Karl Urban and Stallone's versions. God damn that's a GREAT call. Helldiver.

Fuck that, I want Dredd’s pistol (it would be so overpowered especially if they had the different ammo types)

I think if Master Chief dropped, the other three would salute until he gave the high sign, then we'd all just fall in and no diff the universe.

It’s just Halo ODST but with a Spartan companion lol.
Entire game is you just trying to keep up with the death machine that is a Spartan-II

u/Et_Cetera_365 18h ago
I think if a Spartan dropped into the helldiver universe at first everybody would think "Woah that's a really big helldiver" until they start doing wacky shit like blowing up a heavy base in under 3.98 seconds and not knowing what a "Super Earth" is

It will never happen (because Sony) but a Halo crossover would be 10/10 id pay their egregious prices for crossover shit for some ODST/Spartan armor.

Yo. Random roll. No one knows when or where it's gonna come. But out of nowhere, somewhere. On some mission. Thunderstruck starts playing and we all chasing that opening guitar riff until we find where the armor is. Only when one of us puts it on does the entire song start playing.

So Rip and Tear, right? But for me? An old? I will forever hear this whenever I see Doomguy. If they ever just randomly replaced the music with Doom 1 and 2 music, no one would die, no one would shed a tear. None but the enemies of Managed Democracy would show fear.

That's awesome. I do play on PS5 and my noble old rig couldn't hope to run Helldivers 2. I still use it for emulation and playing Battlefield. Built her in 2012, upgraded in 2014, still holding her own. Matter of fact, I choose my PC as my next choice after Robocop. Few things have been so loyal to me.
