Helldivers 2 is a huge success for Arrowhead Game Studios and a great attempt for PlayStation to dive into the live service gaming domain. Director Johan Pilestedt is committed to making the best multiplayer game possible and will take any inspiration to make his dream a reality.

The gaming community has a few creative souls too, many would take out ideas from much older games and would raise them on social media for the developers to see. Fans have already figured out how to improve the video game with one suggestion.

Helldivers 2 Game Director Could Borrow more Ideas from Gears of War

Great games often take ideas and concepts from older video games, and if it isn’t broken then there is no need to fix it. Pilestedt is handling public relations relatively well, even better than his colleagues from Arrowhead Studios, and is open to fan suggestions.

One fan suggested that the multiplayer game can incorporate one mission from the Gears of War franchise where players are tasked to deliver an item and only be able to use one-handed weapons while carrying it.

This mission mode can be challenging and can also give a lot more emphasis to an underutilized game mechanic like blind fire or shooting from the hips while on the move. It will also encourage teamwork, having to rely on allies rather than a player’s arsenal can send out a positive message about promoting collaboration.

It wouldn’t be the first time Pilestedt would consider adding concepts that will require more than one player to do a task. The game director teased that there might be new weapons coming to the game like the heavy machine gun that will need at least two players, one to prop it and the other to fire.

Changing up the gameplay and weapon mechanics can be a decent way to keep up with the demand for far more creative mission design. Arrowhead Game Studios has plans for the game and will most likely listen to fan suggestions and opinions while having discussions within the studio.

The gaming community is already demanding something fresh and innovative for this highly successful multiplayer title. Pilestedt must closely study the aspects that worked well in previous games and implement them more effectively to enhance the game’s design.

When it comes to designing missions, various factors need to be considered to ensure its success. One of the most important factors is the interest of the community. It is essential to take into account the needs and wants of the community to create a mission that is meaningful and relevant to them.

Another crucial factor to consider is the proper implementation of the mission. There is no shame in borrowing concepts and can be seen as a way to honor the original developers’ ideas. Johan Pilestedt is optimistic about the future of Helldivers 2 and will take any inspiration he can to develop an already great game into something greater.
