Super Earth Wins Against Illuminate After Two Weeks of Intense Fighting

Stockholm, Sweden – The players of Helldivers 2 have achieved victory in a fierce campaign against the Illuminate, officially saving Super Earth after an 11-day battle. This intense confrontation highlighted the resilience of the Helldivers community, who fought tirelessly to reclaim their home planets.
The campaign centered around the cities of Prosperity City and Equality-on-Sea, the last two strongholds against the alien invasion. Despite losing several cities like Eagleopolis and York Supreme, players rallied to push back the aliens, achieving a remarkable control percentage of 99.9783% in Equality-on-Sea.
This campaign has drawn significant participation from players, particularly from China, who joined forces with others worldwide. Players shared stories on forums, showcasing their dedication to defending Super Earth despite language barriers and different cultural backgrounds.
However, confusion arose as many players were disappointed to learn that they could not achieve total liberation of Equality-on-Sea due to it being a defense campaign against an ongoing invasion. Some players speculated that Arrowhead Games, the developer, may have designed the mechanics to maintain the city’s partially controlled status for narrative reasons.
The community’s frustration resulted in over 3,000 negative reviews on Steam, reflecting dissatisfaction over the capped control metric. Some players expressed feeling cheated, believing they deserved complete victory after the extensive effort put into the campaign.
Despite the backlash, many players continued to celebrate their achievements. Reddit user comments reflected pride in the collaborative efforts of the Helldivers, as they managed to hold off the invading forces for nearly two weeks.
As the dust settles from this monumental battle, questions remain about future threats to Super Earth. With the newly elected president, the ongoing story continues to evolve, leaving players anxious for what’s next in Helldivers 2.
