PALS - A Helldivers II Animation
Фильм және анимация
Two Helldivers attempt to collect samples on a planet occupied by those nasty Terminids. Here is their story.
Written on a whim by me and a buddy. I had a lot of fun, learned a lot. Thanks for watching!

Love how bro hears that he's been in deep freeze long enough that everyone he knew is dead and also his homeworld is gone and his response is just "Huh... That's unfortunate"

@@Bot-Sympithizer-A.U.T.O 100 years in a cryopod will do that to ya. Just look at the guy from Fallout 4. Went from, "My son has been stolen," to, "time to turn my old neighborhood into a water purification plant, become the raider boss of nukaworld, take over the commonwealth, and do a compete 180 the moment he runs into a Revolutionary War larper." Oh, and don't worry about his son. The moment he finally meets his son again, he reverts back into a murder goblin, suplexes his own son until he explodes, and slaughters everyone specifically wearing a lab coat.
This guy is a hundred year old 1st galactic war veteran. How the fuck are we just glazing over this?

@JohnSmith-tt2tu That's just the Helldiver training. There's also SEAF service to be considered, preteen ROTC style, and the fact all citizens are basically trained from the young age by family with fake guns and schools drlls. They are only given specialized raining to be helldivers I'd say. That's definitely enough because we are the best!

Didn't the guy say his Stratagem Ball was slippery in the cold when talking about his fifth wife? Unless a joke went over my head, I think a bit of friendly-fire happened!
I found some roleplay players few days ago. Fine people. One said he was from Meridia (just like in the video), the other said he’s from Aesir Path (bro was talking about his family being viking like people and that he had all these tattos), the third said he was from Rogue 5, and helped take the planet back against the Illuminate. While i was born in Cyberstan at the beggining of the 1º galactic war. I had to flee the planet around 5 years old when the Cyborgs came. I’ve been on cryosleep ever since. Now my Helldiver is awake and ready to reclaim his homeworld.

I hope one day we'll get to liberate your home together on some cool city map or something. I heard from a friend that there was one in Helldivers 1
I say they do what every Helldiver does in this situation. Dive backwards and start opening up with their liberators
so fun fact, Helldivers must go through SEAF training protocol first, meaning that they do get more training than 5 min.

Combine that with the fact that super earth is a extremely militaristic and gun-free society (they literally use the breaker shotgun as a hunting and home defence weapon) an other example we can get from the engineer on the ship is apparently even when you're a small child there's quite a common celebration involving firing a firearm three times in the air and saying "no fascism here insects" and then they reenact historical battles namely something called liberty peak before having cake, this is all done presumably during childhood then combine that with the fact that everyone is GIVEN a constitution rifle on their 16th birthday not like the American second amendment where they are allowed the RIGHT to bear arms the gun is actually GIVEN to them they don't even make a purchase or a choice meaning that every super Earth citizen possibly in their childhood and definitely years before even joining the SEAF let alone the helldivers are given firearm training, then there's a 48 hour training segment for the drafted SEAF troopers and then the ones that are the most skilled and patriotic then become helldivers, are given a 5-minute training course to specifically use the helldiver equipment the strategam beacons the stims they don't actually teach you how to use a firearm they just give you one and give you a refresher by sending out live captive enemy forces you've already been trained for years how to use a firearm and while the helldiver standard lifespan in the battlefield is 2 minutes they are far from incompetent soldiers, the average one being able to take out 50 to 100 to 200 enemies by themselves honestly I don't know where people got this idea that helldivers aren't fucking terrifying soldiers because THEY ARE they drop down behind enemy lines blow up all the logistics destroy concentrated enemy forces activate dormant ICBMs and all kinds of other shit with a average maximum of 20 soldiers only using 4 at a time and they complete their objectives and get out in 40 minutes or less

@@therandomcommenter6629added on to that is the fact that the helldivers will often simply power through broken arms and legs while still very willing to keep fighting, are capable of taking far too many bullets to the chest and willingly give up their entire lives to serve democracy as they are frozen until they deploy and die. The only thing they can’t do is swim but I’ve yet to see a fully loaded modern soldier carrying a heavy weapon swim so we’ll call that one even.

That’s a really pretty animation there. Also the “Huh… that’s unfortunate…” after he learns that he’s now in the SECOND galactic war would be a very concerning reaction to have. I’d say get someone to make sure he’s alright for the foreseeable future.
Honestly your animation has improved a lot over a short time. The movement in here looks pretty close to just, normal, natural movement. It's really good, man. Good job.

In reality... You are frozen one time only... after training... a couple of helldivers are assigned to each ship.. and replenish every time needed. Once you were unfrozed.. you will remain free until you die or retire after full military service. With free returns to civilian life until called ( player logs in) That's why there is a democracy officer per ship.. plus some heroes of the federation like General Brash. Those who survive long enough to become hier are there because they have enough intelligence and experience gathered to risk losing. The frozen technology comes in part to preserve generations of reserves until deployment is required. That's how you have an army of millions every year. In order for individual experience to not be lost with the changing time... you will not be frozen again... (since the game actualized the login screen) Experience remains with the defrost ones.. while the frozen remain fresh for the new deal... with no "time shock" as they are..some how ... Ready to Dive
I actually want more of these!! Easily 10 out of 10!
This is absolutely fantastic. More... MOOOOOOREEEE also-don't feel the need to rush your projects like the last one. maybe do like 15-20 second shorts in between to keep the algorithm going, but take your time for such ambitious demeanors, because damn, that was hot as well. The eerie feeling in the first seconds alone, blood dripping from a devastators saw... great stuff man. Count me in as a supporter
That one Helldivers 2 pro friend and the original Helldivers pro friend talking to eachother.
This has the same vibes as Red vs Blue but in Helldivers
Animation quality is really good!

This is really funny, and the animation is spot on but I think the Helldivers should have a distortion on their voices like they are talking over a radio, since they are.
this video reminded my friend rushed to me for open the two-button door, but he fell and got stuck in the gap between a rock wall and a forklift, and then in the gap between a box there it was and a forklift, unable to get out. (after that, I was shoot and destroy the box with shotgun, he saving unharm. it was truely democratic moment.)
Nice video man

Animation is golden buut... i don't want you to think that Im hating or something but those voices would sound better when put through some helmet filter like in the original trailer or radio voice grain. Would be cool to see a version like that. Anyways good work.
I feel like his understated reaction to finding out about his homeworld is justified in-universe by him being indoctrinated to blindly follow Super Earth. Like all other citizens and Helldivers. He just mentally wrote it off as "Super Earth must've had good reason for Meridia" and that his family thought the same.
Y’all, he’s COVERED in dust. I think that’s not from the planet it’s from sitting in the back of the super destroyer for like a century
Are you able to share what programs you used to create this? Awesome video!
fuck.. when i saw the two brood commanders.... i mean dive backwards and full auto the legs.....
Wait until they find out their memories are fabricated and they're all just a bunch of clones. FOR SUPER EARTH!
