Helldivers II Announced!

Saw a vid of guys doing solo as stealth.  They were show casing the stealth mechanics.  It seems that if you just can't get a group going and have to go solo, stealth may be your best strategy.

My friends have been bugging me to buy it.  I was about to order it but I checked the Steam forums first.  Sounds like there are issues with rebinding controls over to the numpad so it's a no-go for me at this point.

I solo all the time and stealth is not in my strategy book. I'm guns blazing, but you've got to be smart about it. Against the bugs, you need to be tactical. Strike from a position of advantage. Fall back and lay down fire as they advance. Use technology to your advantage. As I previously noted, I use a drone armed with a laser and sentry turrets to cover my flanks and rear as I either work on accomplishing objectives, or as I assault bug holes.

The Automatons are definitely tougher. I've only gone on about three or four missions against them. They use rockets and other kinetic and explosive weapons so they definitely require different tactics. I do avoid certain fights and patrols against them.  I have something like 90,000 total kills, and of those, about 89,000 are bugs. 

Solo is 100% absolutely doable, and as I noted, sometimes, I actually prefer it.

Pretty sure if your reply said anything else, it'd be the equivalent of blinking "HELP ME I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED" in morse code!
