Helldivers 2 is often praised for its level design. From treacherous jungles to hellish hellscapes to barren wastelands, the game has it all. However, fans would like to see another type of environment added to the game: cities and urban centers.

On April 20, a Reddit thread surfaced, sparking a large debate over whether Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios should add cities or similar urban environments to the popular shooter. Players commenting on the thread are generally in favor of such maps being added to the game. After all, Helldivers 1 already had them, with some battles taking place on Super Earth itself. So why wouldn’t the hit sequel have city maps? Players believe that they wouldn’t be viable and that they would require a lot of meticulous design to function properly.
“It would definitely be cool,” one player wrote, “[but] it would require a different type of Strategems.” Helldivers 2’s Strategems are already unwieldy, and having your missiles implanted into large buildings, rendering them ineffective, would seriously break the core gameplay. To solve this problem, users in the thread believe that Arrowhead should design a destructible environment.
"The 500KG bomb crashing through a huge building and then exploding would be awesome," another player wrote in the thread. And you have to agree. Blowing up bots, bugs, and cities would make for some awesome moments. That is, if our PCs and consoles didn't blow up at the same time.
