    They're back... my dad fought the illuminate back in '13 during the first intergalactic war... that shit changed him. Before that, he was a happy man, always had a smile and kind word for others. After the squidies? He was cold.
    He told me to consider myself lucky if I never encountered them. Sorry dad... guess I'm not that lucky.
    For Super Earth!

      Illuminates were annoying at times, but the Cyborgs were absolutely the hardest faction at the highest difficulty. Once you got used to the flipped controls and started equipping stratagems like the personal dome shield backpack, the Illuminate's lethality was in line with the bugs.
      Cyborgs were just a chore to fight. Almost every war I participated in that Super Earth won, they were the last faction left on the war map... if they add those forsaken dogs to HD2, I might just lose it lol

      @@bojkashapirax6283 I guess it was just down to playstyle. Cyborgs for me you can just overpower with mechs and heavy weapons. Sure they could one shot you and the Seige Mech was and still is a scary boss. (NOT looking forward to its return in HD2) But just pew pew them better than they pew pew you and you're golden.
      The squids on the other hand you always had to constantly be on the move because of their confusion attacks or lightning attacks or melee charges. but you also had to keep the pressure on most of them because of their sheilds. Otherwise you were wasting ammo. For me your team had to be on point most of the fight because once one of you died it was a domino effect. But My playstyle is of a caveman. Hit it hard before they hit you. Squids felt like you were playing DDR having to dip and dive half of their attacks so to me I was out of my element.

The squids (if they keep it the same as they did in the first game) is by far a different enemy that I bet most of the new helldivers aren't use to. Having to actually pay attention to the ground to dodge attacks. I mean they had to nerf the meteor showers because of that.

      @blbprime11 Given the new combat system, if the Illuminate are at all similar in playstyle, they will be very difficult. Think the main reason I never really minded them was due to the 2D nature of HD1. Given 360 degree vision, you could always see what was going on during battle and account for control-flipping attacks before you were affected by them. The other advantage was how much easier it was to aim in general, allowing you to quickly adapt. Being in third person, aiming will be rough with flipping controls and reduced vision will mean you can be flipped without warning

However, during his excursion, his shield had been shot and destroyed by a blue laser! Similar reports dictate that the perpetrator was an Illuminate sniper, warping out of sight before my old man could make eye contact. They don’t just live among us already; they’re toying with us. Despite what the ministry of truth babbles to the good citizens of Super Earth and our fellow Helldivers, it’s only a matter of time before the galaxy is sieged by our oldest foe. One last note, and this is a personal preference: I got a bad feeling that new enemies lie on the horizon, waiting for their chance to eliminate all of humanity and democracy!

    In the first game it is a fact, that shield pack, ark thrower and suspension field (aoe stun stratagem) are based off of Illuminate tech, among other things.

    The fact that the devs are releasing new weapons, enemy types and a new faction soon all before the game’s first year makes the Helldivers experience so much more satisfying!

    It's interesting to see the Illuminate's tech has changed since the first game, where they looked kind of like the standard 'Apple' sci-fi faction, being sleek, white and rounded, wheras now they seem to have started to use HR Geiger-esque biomechanical tech

    The tripod is gonna make me cry
    It looks exactly like the tripods from War of the Worlds
    As well, the tripods from WotW have a fog horn
    I had a great fear of tripods when I was younger

    Well if you look at the galaxy map the left and right have been the only fronts we have been fighting but there is still the north and south that are open to suprise attack from one or two new enemy types

    Given that the current objective in Helldivers is to essentially “finish off” the Automatans in a massive offensive campaign. It wouldn’t surprise me if this new faction emerges in the wake of a victory over the machines.
    Trading one enemy only for another to take their place.

    I don’t know if I missed it in your video but yesterday, the Helldivers Alert X account advertised the EX-03 Prototype 3 armor which adds 95% resistance to arch damage, which is what Illuminate would be using I assume. Adding: “trust us: you’ll want the extra insulation.”

    It would be cool if those "watcher" things would look and see which strategems your team has and addapt to it with pre programmed behaviours, like if they know you have the eagle airstirke they would deploy units farther apart to avoid the airstrike

    I hope when the galactic map gets more controlled by enemies, that when overlaps occur you will see both bots and bugs attacking one another since they are not allies. I also really hope that when super earth is under attack its biome actually looks mad populated and not like these planets we've been playing on. It's something I'm not sure if many helldivers are talking about but there aren't like maps with roads or cities being attacked.

    That illuminide walker looks just like a tripod from War of the World's! So awesome 😲

    Maybe we got the amour against electric damage because the illuminate might be near.

    I think it would be really cool if one of the illusionist unit can cast a debuff on a player by making your teammates look like one of the enemies attacking them which can cause the player to friendly fire on purpose, considering the pressure of the amount enemies coming at you there's no telling which one is your teammate unless you communicate.

    They've set up a very large 2D galactic map. Yes, we have two fronts with most of the SW to SE and NW to NE still empty.
    And nothing says we can't be attacked from above or below in a spherical map we can't see.
    I think we'll see enemies entirely new to HD2 and expect Joel and Arrowhead have _years_ of content planned or outlined.

    With the armor in the EX armor being resistant to arc damage I think it's safe to say these are making a return.
