I played it on xbox entirely singleplayer and i just remembered it existed. I never hear anyone mention it wondering if anyone actually played this game when it was out

I played it a bit back in the day. It would be great IP to revive for a modern FPS/RTS game with some hero/MOBA mechanics sprinkled in to make it appeal to a modern audience.

I really liked that it had no persistent perks/leveling mechanics iirc.

Progression systems are such a curse.

I think one of the core reasons Helldivers is having so much controversy is that it doesn't really have them. Getting to level 20 and unlocking all the core stuff is mostly an extended tutorial and after that there's just gameplay, and I don't think a lot of people know how to handle that anymore.

The main issue helldivers has is that it's just too samey. They've added new weapons in but nothing fundamentally changes gameplay much.

If instead of new weapons they were releasing new enemies and new maps that feel fundamentally different then they would have had a lot more player retention. Once you've done existing content enough times to level up you feel like you've seen/played it all (which you have).

Did you know this was a kind of sequel to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory?

Because I didn't until now, even though I vaguely remembered two different games with "Enemy Territory" in the name existing.

Yeah I knew that. I never played Wolfenstein enemy territory back when it came out but I remember it had quite a dedicated fanbase

I did. I vaguely remember it being fun. It was removed entirely from steam ages and ages and ages ago.

Yes! I played it online and it was so fun. I also never hear anyone mention (to the point of wondering if playing it was just a dream)

I loved how the strogg could convert between health and ammo, really interesting mechanic to have in your pocket. Also the artillery classes were super cool.

I wish I had the opportunity to play Quake Wars when it came out as I played the shit out of RTCW multiplayer and Enemy Territory but never had the money to get a new PC/consoles then.

I did, and it's pretty cool tbh.

This and Wolfenstein enemy territory were great. I loved the levelling up in the match. Played the absolute shit out of these
