The active community that has sprung up around Helldivers 2 has kept the game a joy to follow since its release in early 2024, and a fan video making the rounds online is just the latest example. The ongoing Second Galactic War, which the Helldivers 2 devs say will last for years longer, and the playerbase's willingness to roleplay along has made the game a highlight among other live-service offerings. Many games receive an abundance of fan art, but the consistent tone and aesthetic of Helldivers 2 gives its players a chance to make some truly fitting images and videos.
One such exceptionally fitting video was posted to YouTube by B4MBO, a cinematic titled "War Path." It begins with a preamble voice over on a camera looking at the Democracy Space Station, which cuts to a "signal lost" screen in the middle of an explosion, leading to various clips of gameplay. The cinematic excels in conveying the visceral combat of Helldivers 2, and makes use of some interesting camera angles to emphasize the action. One YouTube comment says, "Absolutely got goosebumps watching this, this is ludicrously well-done."
