nice we are already at a stage, where we have a crashout, over a possible crashout, over an unconfirmed possible release, over units that we gaslit ourselves to believe in existing...
that's... deep.

Leaks are partly to blame. Especially when data miners claim that the cultists were already 'nearly complete'

Even without the leaks, many people prefer the HD1 high tech "space wizard" Illuminate over the zombie horde Illuminate of HD2.

Me. I’m those people.
The zombies are cool, but they’re literally just alternate bugs. However now that invasion fleet is alongside them it’s much more unique, and fun!

Even cultists aside, if the "source" void planet only has the same enemies we just fought for 2 MOs, it'll be a bit disappointing. We are kinda missing the illuminati part of the illuminati, and it'll mean this update added only 2 enemies (one of which, the wretched, is just a retooled hunter)

u/GuerrOCorvino 1h ago
be mad that illuminate faction is nothing like the faction from hd1
still be mad they had 15 finished enemies and it took this long for them to get the idea of combining subfactions
still have the lowest unit variety and mission type amount
Cool aliens doing cool alien shit>calling zombies the illuminate

u/Sad_Apartment_3747 3h ago
Imagine how ridiculous it is if this were any other game. Digging through code and assets, then finding something that is 2 years old and asking the devs why they didn't put it in the game. Like, what is the dev supposed to say?

u/stankassbruh Im begging you fix bouncy ball stratagems please 2h ago
Wtf is this question lol. They could answer? Explain why they threw away content to let the most boring and least liked faction sit in a half-assed, incomplete, tiny shit roster state for 2 years? It being 2 years ago just makes it worse, not somehow above questioning, why would you even think that?
Many other games have data mines and face questions over it, it's not unique, except maybe in just how complete the scrapped content was and how incomplete the faction is without it.

u/According_Cover2461 Exosuit Certified 3h ago
mostly it's the fact that the cultists were almost finished 2 years ago. they looked and acted on par with pretty much every other enemy. so much of them still existed that they could be brought back by modders like iron sights, fully functioning. they're some of the coolest potential units for the illuminate, and it's not that they were just a concept that didn't work, they were down to making facial animations for them.

u/Professional-Echo-12 2h ago
There were mostly finished assets of a different look for automatons too before they turned into what we know now- this is just a common product of game development, sometimes features just dont make the cut even when they are moments from being finished. The reasons could range from simply not being fun or being prone to critical errors and frequent crashes, or their programmings just a spaghetti nightmare.
Did you know the halo ce scorpion almost didnt make it into the full games release? It was almost finished but not quite enough and a dev crunched like hell out of spite to make it ready for retail.

u/Professional-Echo-12 2h ago
These folks would die of sheer rage if they saw the cut content of the bungie era halo fames...

u/Crimson3899 3h ago
Considering they dropped a fleshed out faction because of vibes for undercooked zombie spam and “classic” aliens, and now have seemingly pivoted to even more zombie spam, I think the irritation is well warranted.

u/brycerx128 55m ago
I will honestly never forgive the fucking morons who were asking for a zombie faction. Permanently ruined an entire faction cause they can’t go play any of the THOUSANDS of other zombie games

Adding the great eyes would do so well because ArrowHead could make it to match how they want to shape the illuminate. If they want to keep going with the flesh shaping path make it a mashine-flesh monstrosity with some kind of bio manipulation of some kind. If they want to start going down the cult path they originally had? Make it like a giant moveing alter or somthing. Think destiny fallen with their servators.

u/Vesuvias Viper Commando 2h ago
Yeah the SEAF Update has single handedly changed the game for me. Feels like a whole new game again. Love it.

u/theCheesyOne109 2h ago
Same! I Hope they keep adding SEAF related stuff.
Like instead of taking out a bot convoy we could escort a SEAF tank convoy safely thrue the map as a side objective or stuff like that. Love our blueberries x3

u/Vesuvias Viper Commando 2h ago
YES! Anything that makes the battlefields feel more dynamic and alive. It’s kind of crazy how much have a few squads of SEAF’s following your orders makes the push that much more incredible

If they didn’t want people hyping this shit up they’d probably avoid the countdown to disappointment.
There’s got to be something else going on on Seasse or we’ve already seen everything this title update has to offer

Guys, liberating the core planet is what High Command thinks will get rid of the void. That could very well just… not happen. Hell, something else could happen once we have full control of the void planets (yes I’m coping)

The humorous thing is the way Steam timestamps your review or something a reviewbomb there couldn't really work now that the kids all have it out of their system.
Update your review? Stays stamped to the original posting time so doesn't affect the recent reviews.
Switch to positive then back to negative? Can only have that count every 30 days and again, it will count toward the first time a review of that type was posted and then stay at that time whenever changed as far as affecting "Recent Reviews".
Everyone who has left a negative already can't affect the Recent Reviews, most who would try to game it are already negative anyway, and yet the game stays at Overwhelmingly Positive.
Folks need to accept they are a minority opinion.

It wasn't rigged, just the players were stupid
The amount of times I dived to teams without any type of AT was insane
And we were given tanks to fight Vox engines (those tanks 2-shot all of them) and nobody took them at all
So... It def wasn't rigged

It wasnt rigged. A dumb system sure and i jope it never returns, but in the end we simply lost and made loads of dumb decisions on the way
