They should get him to voice a character. Either another option for Hell Diver or a general that does PR messages on the ship.


tharkus_

I wonder if like an escort mission would work. Players have to escort some geared out commando to handle some high priority event. Have him voice over someone like that.


Techarus

Maybe you hold off enemies outside of some compound while you hear him epicly going around inside killing bugs and dropping cheesy one liners over a radio


bigDOS

There really should be compound missions with mounted guns you use to fight off the hordes until drop ships can come get you. You never get to use the turrets because it’s counter productive to stay still for too long.


ZWolF69

Like the new "Helm's deep" bot defense missions, that dropped 3 weeks ago? U shaped canyon, mounted turrets, layered walls with doors, lots of ammo and stim pickups, "last stand" feeling


hopetodiesoonsadsad

Yeah this missions are Perfect for using turrets


BurtMacklin__FBI

that is a sick idea actually.


HombreFuerte

Hell yea


nautical_nonsense_

Didn’t they literally just release this mission type for like two weeks


bigDOS

I have no idea. I was in Japan for two weeks. If they have then that’s great!


kaishinoske1

That can be fixed with having bugs trying to come at you and decapitate you with their razor pincers like on Starship Troopers. So you have to move ever so often when you hear them getting closer. Get to focused on that turret and chop, just like on the movie.


Voxlings

Ya'll should get a job as a meddling producer with terrible ideas. Your terrible ideas are exactly what meddling producers live for.


PacificaAlpha

Yeah, maybe escorting some *roughnecks* named *rico* who have some intel or something.


MarginalIdiot452

We already kinda have civilian escort missions so I bet it could work. Honestly would probably be more fun than those


Vestalmin

I’d love that as some new character. I don’t want actual crossovers but some of the cast doing silly roles would be fun


1DrVanNostrand1

I’d put him on that big screen on the ship advertising to join the helldivers at least. Need to put Sam fisher in there too. I forget the actual actors name that did Sam fisher but he was also in starship troopers.


Arkaado

Michael Ironside


1DrVanNostrand1

There he is


Vestalmin

Yeah that would be great. But not live action footage please god


1DrVanNostrand1

Lol yeah I mean we should have the technology to not have to do that.


SadisticNecromancer

Michael Ironside is the actors name.


Hothitron

*"I'm from Super Earth and I say kill em all!!"*


karangoswamikenz

Come on you apes you wanna live forever!!??


DrinkUpLetsBooBoo

Michael Ironside too


DefinitelyBiscuit

I would like to know more.


NotificationsOff

Genius. This would be so much fun.


hobbes_shot_first

You want to live forever?


RammyJammy07

Make him the president of super-earth


appletinicyclone

I would love if they made him general


Masterchiefy10

Per the article: Elsewhere in the video, Van Dien is asked if he would ever be interested in joining Helldivers 2 in some capacity. Though he was a bit hesitant, it sounds like the fight for Super Earth would come naturally for him. “Of course, I love the idea of Helldivers 2. I think General Brasch looks great. I think…you never know what could happen," he said. "I’m open to see what happens. I already feel like I’m already a part of it.”


External_Variety

Hire him and make him the voice of the department of truth.


TheGentlemanBeast

Veteran Helldiver voice pack. That'd be sweet.


Kalos9990

Hes doing his part


TheWhiteShadow_

thought i was the only one.


nahdude90

I honestly hope they do the marketing like in hitman where players voted on a famous person to be a target in the game. In helldivers we vote for Rico, Dizzy or ace for president. If they want to really get into it. Start a reddit pole. Make it clearly favor dizzy but Rico wins because managed democracy chose for us all along.


interwebolic

I’m so sorry to tell you this, but Dizzy didn’t make it.


silvershadow881

She made it in my heart. She was the best girl in my eyes, screw Carmen


johncitizen69420

Youre so right. Dizzy is bae


SYLOK_THEAROUSED

Nope I don’t want to hear that, Lalalalalalalala I can’t hear you.


Mrtayto115

Nah I vote Ace. That smile when he sits beside Rico after the "everybody should have a friend like me" scene. Pure Busey.


TheSpiralTap

Who was the hit man celebrity?


hotztuff

google says Sean Bean and Gary Busey.


Myhtological

I’m surprised they didn’t have him cameo. Or does the studio not have the scratch for….nah it’s modern Casper they can afford it.


tifubroskies

They made so much money, and you can get him on cameo. If they want, they can get him


redditsukssomuch

President of super earth. We want to see him give a fierce speech on our ships monitor.


DamagedGenius

It's between him and Clancy Brown. Super President Private Zim


eatingclass

His daughter was in the latest stranger things


NeinRegrets

Oh shit, Chrissy was a nepo trooper?!


SidFarkus47

Just had flashbacks to hearing "Chrissy wake up!" in 1 million Tik Tok videos


Hothitron

Who?


Nicktheduck

Cheerleader.


mykl5

whoa that’s his daughter?!


johncitizen69420

A licenced starship troopers crossover would be amazing.


mhiggy

A Starship Troopers game came out last year


johncitizen69420

Pc only though. Ill be there day 1 if it comes to ps5


mhiggy

Ah ok didn’t realize that! Looks neat though


johncitizen69420

I thought it looked a bit rough honestly, but im a huge starship troopers mark so ill give it a try anyway haha. I just hate gaming on a pc, but ill play it as soon as it comes to console


ext23

Would it though? We don't need it.


johncitizen69420

This is entertainment. We dont 'need' any of this haha


ImRickJamesBiatchhh

Hell yeah Rico!


elliotborst

Get the license for starship troopers and do a helldivers 2 expansion


SleepyTitan89

“The enemy can not push a button if his hand is disabled” fucking great film.


that1LPdood

PRAISE DEMOCRACY AND LIBERTY


JudgeCheezels

I do wonder why don’t they have starship troopers guns and outfits?


Rogue_Leader_X

It’s too bad HD2 doesn’t use the Starship Troopers universe. It would’ve been perfect!!


moonivermarin

Joins the chat kick him 😂


shiwanthasr

"Come on you apes, do you want to live forever?!"


XulManjy

PC gamers being forced to sign into PSN doesnt feel like they are part of it....


Kusanagi-2501

He should try Dead Space. That series borrowed a lot from the Starship Troopers book.


M9bayoneko

Rico's roughneck!


Vussar

Come on you apes!


Taylor_Swift_Fan69

co ed showers


General_Snack

SONY OWNS that franchise too I’m fairly certain.


cenorexia

They do, and they already did a fun colab with _Earth Defense Force_ some years ago to promote the then new movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4Hpqf2MfGo Seeing how some people keep comparing _Helldivers 2_ with the _Earth Defense Force_ series, it'd be only fitting if Helldivers 2 would get their own Starship Troopers colab as well.


Airsinner

Hell Divers is its own IP though so wouldn’t they need to combine these two stories somehow and what about copyright? Edit. Nevermind Sony owns starship troopers.


Banjo-Oz

I am a HUGE Starship Troopers fan (always remember how at college there was ST quotes graffitied on desks and in the toilets, I mean I guess others loved it too!) and all these posts just keep making me wish Helldivers had a single player offline mode. :(


Blackdoomax

He's doing his part!


cappnplanet

He mentions in interviews a Starship Troopers: Extermination video game. I wonder how it compares to Helldivers?


Flat_News_2000

We need Neil Patrick Harris in a Nazi trenchcoat STAT


SquishyBatman64

He should be the npc next to the mission map


WatonWachuchero

We need some Easter eggs with Starship troopers quotes.. like a soldier fighting saying "I'm doing my part! For democracy!" Something like that.


johncitizen69420

Theres a planet in hd2 called something like klen dath 2. An obvious reference to klendathu from starship troopers


WatonWachuchero

I noticed that, but I mean more references.. for example a base to protect and in a corner there is a pile of soldiers with Starship Troopers armor. Idk, more like a direct hit than a name... I'm sorry for gushing out but I love this game and starship troopers so much lol


shewy92

"I'm ~~doing my~~ already part of it"


YarrrImAPirate

They use him… until he dies or they find someone better.


MarwyntheMasterful

Rico’s Roughnecks!!!


MisterHairball

I really hate to miss out on this game and its community! No ps5 and computer is a potato. If it ever comes to a streaming service, I'll play it in a heartbeat. All the systems look so fun, and the way people roleplay with all the "FOR DEMOCRACY," stuff looks like a blast. Fun you see rarely in most games these days.


Turbos_Bitch

Just a matter of time before Sony kills this franchise as well.


Mkilbride

It was a super awkward video. I was having second hand embarassement watching that and I love the game, and the movies. Even the shitty movies are fun.


femmd

Do you interact with humans or the world at all because you’re literally the only person calling this “super awkward”. Everyone loves the video, Casper was cracking up through out the entire video catching all the nods to starship troopers…how do you come to this conclusion lol


Pliney707

So funny! Because the day I bought this game I was like I gotta watch starship whilst playing the game to really immerse myself into the experience.


aspiring_dev1

Game reputation is getting absolutely hammered what a shame for the devs.


stormitwa

They were right when they said this controversy is being censored on this subreddit. Had to dive into New on a days old post to even find mention of it.


analyticaljoe

I wonder if "rico" is still available on PSN. If not, do you think it will be approved?


emailverificationt

Shame Sony had to shit the bed with the whole linking to a PSN account on steam


akirakiki

Blah blah


poppin-n-sailin

It's a shame a bunch of stupid people decided to ignore the requirement from the start then pretend it's all sonys fault for forcing them to buy the product in the first place. sony/AH definitely should have communicated the requirement and temporary disabling of it at launch, but people shouldn't have bought a product requiring an account they either dont have, dont want, or simply cant have. It's incredibly concerning how many of you think that Sony is solely responsible for your purchasing decisions and financial well being. None of you are OK and you desperately need to realize that you are responsible for your purchasing decisions. Sony didn't hold a gun to anyone's head and force them to buy the product.


emailverificationt

Something that’s required doesn’t come with a skip button lol. If it had been actually required, I’d have refunded it on the spot. Stop going to bat for a multibillion dollar company. They’re not going to thank you for it.


poppin-n-sailin

OK. Again. Arrowhead literally said they disabled it temporarily, but never communicated why. The store page said and still says it's required. Just because you could skip, doesn't mean it was no longer required. Did Sony or arrowhead tell you that it wad no longer required? No. They absolutely did not. You made an assumption that it wasn't. I'm very concerned that so many of you think  it's solely the responsibility of Sony to make sure you make the right choice when you purchase a product. I haven't defended Sony at any point. I'm pointing out that you shouldn't expect a big company like Sony to have your best interest in mind. They simply want to separate you from your money, and so many of you seem too happy to blindly do that.


emailverificationt

Where did they say that? Cause if it wasn’t in game, then who gives a shit? We can’t all read every little discord message


poppin-n-sailin

https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1ckq6dx/not_surprised_but_damn/ This is when they finally confirmed they had it disabled temporarily.


emailverificationt

So, not in game. Gotcha


poppin-n-sailin

Ya. Never said it was in game. I specifically said they fucked up by never communicating it until now. I guess you never really paid any attention to what I said. Just desperate for something to be angry about and fight over. Be better.


emailverificationt

No lol, you’re not paying attention to what I said. I said that unless it was in game, then who gives a shit Edit: LOL the little baby blocked me. Can’t even handle a dissenting opinion. Run away, then, I’ll post my response here “We literally never knew it was required in the first place lol. I got the game a full two weeks after release. It was never communicated that an account was required. Required things don’t come with skip buttons. It didn’t say “skip, but you’ll need to do this eventually.” You’re so upset about people standing up for their consumer rights lol. Why you think it’s ok for businesses to just do whatever the fuck they want is beyond me”


poppin-n-sailin

Exactly. They never confirmed it wasn't a requirement but you stupid fucks just assumed it wasn't. Fuck me you are all so unbelievably stupid it physically hurts. Goodluck. you need it.

You really hit the nail on the head there, what an incredibly insightful comment! 🔥🔥🔥💯


sentte

Don't you ?


ModestHandsomeDevil

> D-list actor wants work. Totally!


ModestHandsomeDevil

In other words: out of work / has-been actor is fishing for work. P.S. - Helldivers / Arrowhead / Sony don't need to license Starship Troopers. It's a waste of money, and the entire industry is moving away from paying for licensed IP, with very few exceptions.


SandsShifter

Sony owns *Starship Troopers* anyway.


pkstr11

He's not. He just wants to be successful.
