Hi everyone, This has gotten wayyyyyy more attention than I anticipated for something I just did for a little bit of fun. I'm glad so many people have enjoyed it, even though it is just a short clip. To answer some common questions/comments: 1. These shots were pre-rendered and composited - no it is not a mod, nor does it use unreal engine or any other real-time renderer, therefore no, you can not run it in your game. 2. I am not suggesting that anything like this be implemented in the game. I really like the helldive sequence as it is, and to make it pre-rendered would take away from the dynamic nature of the cutscene, with the real planet, lighting conditions, amount of pods etc. that are present in your mission all showing up correctly in the loading screen. This is a massive part of why that loadgin screen is so cool and to replace that with something pre-rendered for the sake of graphical fidelity would be a misstep in my opinion. 3. The sound effects used in this clip are all just taken from the game - I haven't edited them in any way, and you can hear the exact same sound effects if you drop into a mission right now. 4. For everyone critiquing the physics/scientific accuracy of this sequence: my intention was to recreate the helldive with all the same visual elements as in the game, upgrading the lighting, composition and graphical fidelity. If you think something isn't physically accurate, you will have to take it up with Arrowhead. Thank you everyone for all the kind comments - It's unlikely that I will make anything else Helldivers related but I'm glad to know so many people have enjoyed this!

It's great. I hope in time that they redo the realtime version of it so it's more like this. Whilst it is epic this version really shows up the official one as lacking things you ought to see like other group's Destroyers firing lasers, railcannons, etc down at the planet surface. Also - initially I agreed with the whole "why are the capsules burning up as soon as they are launched?" but having thought about it, they are being fired down at the surface, and presumably the Destroyer is already in the atmosphere, so the friction makes sense I think.

​@@Durzel Well, the capsules are not only being released but also launched, implying that the method of thrust used in the ship might induce combustion before encountering any atmospheric friction.(not sure if it can be explained this way)

Several better games in the decade.

Why would it stop by the end of the drop ? And how would the Helldivers be able to effectively steer it while rotating (especially the way it can be maneuvered through ship upgrades) And lastly, it'd pierce through most surfaces, leaving the diver underground (Ik, headcannon would be counter-steering to stop the rotation after getting into the atmosphere (so something we wouldn't even see), that's a lot for a really small detail that ends up being the same result we have right now anyway)

This is a cinematic masterpiece. The way the pod is fired and almost gets out of plane, like the camera is struggling to follow it, gives the spectator a sense of speed no other rendering of this kind does. It's really well put together.

this was cinematic af

Get them to replace the animation with this immediately this is so clean

Looks...as beautifull as the original one...except that the planet in the backgrorund looks more beautifull actually

Scenes like this make Helldivers 2 need a movie, do it right and you've made it the film of the year, trust me

@@Mark-rt1jn What a shitty attitude, it looks good dude, people are allowed to want things regardless of their immediate feasibility The beautiful clouds, the planet burning from the siege, there are bigger issues but it is still a nice thing to consider. Besides, pre-rendered cutscenes would be a completely different team of people than the people fixing bugs and balancing weapons.

Looks amazing! I think the camera angle and being able to show the stark difference between the cold stars and flaming pod really gives this a sense of speed and impending impact. Very good job. 👀✨

I swear the helldivers drop pod music always gives me goosebumps, and this scene just enhances it by so much. I just imagine that there are SEAF Soldiers fighting for survival down there in the planet by the bugs amd desperately requesting for extraction. But instead of extraction, they get salvation as a bright light emerges into the atmosphere like an oncoming fright train of liberty which pierces through the body of a Bile titan, incapacitating it before a Helldiver rises from within the pod, finishes off the Titan and lays managed democracy on all the bugs.

Now that is cinematic as hell

Ok. That was bloody amazing. Would be so cool to see them do something like that.

this feels like something straight out of the halo 2 remake cutscenes good job

This is awesome! I think the loading screens already perfect, I think the devs mentioned a first person view from inside the pod that might come later which would be insane. Regardless this looks amazing!

That gave goosebumps. Excellent job!

i cant stop watcing it looks so awesome

This is amazing! Great work!

This really felt like a halo 2 remastered-level cutscene. Seriously phenomenal work with the lighting and background details

Great work! This looks amazing! It makes Helldivers feel like a movie. =

Good job bro, that is really good

if they make a helldivers 3 that shit is going to be the most cinematic experience

This is one of the best things I’ve seen on the internet

Amazing homage.

Outstanding work fellow helldiver

Love the rotation of the pod, wish there was more of it in the in-game render.

I love the sense of velocity in this

I temember the first time I saw the drop sequence when I got the game. I havent felt so much chills from a game before. It gave me such a patriotic feeling which I have never felt from a game before. The sound of the helldiver pod breaking the planets stratosphere along with the soundtrack was incredible. It was a REALLY good introduction to a video game.

That was sick!!

Really cool. One thing though. The heat from the friction of atmospheric re-entry had no time to build up on the nose of the pod. The pod ejected from the destroyer already glowing red hot. Aside from that, this is amazing work.
