EDIT:

With the several small updates and bug crushing, spreading democracy has become more optimized and more reliable. Super Earth has also been consistently providing us helldivers with shiny new toys. These additions make dealing with the opposing forces more dynamic and enjoyable again. The developers, Arrowhead as a whole, and the community seem to be working in unison to consistently improve the experience for everyone involved and I can positively change my review rating to a big thumbs up.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

As much as I have enjoyed my time in the game, I'm disappointed to see pretty hefty nerfs happening in a PVE game rather than bringing up the other items to par. The recent update has just made the game more annoying to complete the higher difficulties and less enjoyable. It seems like the game has becomed confused that it is a horde shooter with countless enemies being thrown at us. It then chooses to reduce the efficiency of the tools that actually make dealing with said enemies possible. Nerfing in a PVE game has always been a slippery slope and I hope the devs gain proper footing.

Even after buffing some of the other items, there are still many items in the game that are basically useless because of how weak they are. This is sad to see how much work and passion has been put into the loadouts.

I am looking forward to the next update that will bring more possibilities, and I hope the new items are strong enough to again bring enjoyment to the higher difficulties.
