Players of Helldivers 2 are creating a list of best practices and etiquette to help teammates new and old do well in the team play-focused game.
Though the game has only just launched, the Helldivers 2 player community is already at work devising a set of common tips, tricks and etiquette for playing the game with others. These rules help players who may be struggling in the heavily team-play-focused game, as well as guide them in making the most of the unique (and comedic) mechanics found in Helldivers 2.
Games that call for in-depth cooperation among different players predate the internet, but the advent of online multiplayer posed new challenges and possibilities for games to demand coordinated team play in real time. Though the original game in the series was a top-down shooter, Helldivers 2 is a more traditional third-person game, putting it in the company of classic co-op shooters like Left 4 Dead as it pits its team of Super Earth soldiers against endless hordes of aliens and assorted enemies.
