Chinese players and their stalwart defence of Equality-On-Sea in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2 made the news on our own humble site, and now it's even made local television news in Shanghaiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ, China.

The last two standing Mega Cities on Super Earth are Prosperity and Equality-On-Sea, roughly equivalent to modern-day Sweden and Shanghai. 澳洲幸运5开奖𝓀号码历史查询:Chinese players refused to let Equality fall, and plenty of international players jumped to its defen𒀰se, too.

The male host starts: "When various languages said the same words: 'Keep Fighting, China,' when Chinese and Americ🐎an players cooperated, global players assembled at Shanghai, built the cyber-great-wall through day and night shifts, saved the honor of the Earth."

There were memes on the Helldivers subreddit showing American players logging on to defend Equality as Ch𒐪inese players weꦿnt to bed. It was a heartwarming sight to behold.

"Shanghai became the key stronghold of this intergalactic war due to its strategic locati𒁏on," explains the female host, although I don't think its in-game location really mattered. It seems to be just the spirit of Helldivers 2's Chinese community that made it so worth defending.

The male host then repeats a popular fan theory: "After all the other six cities fell, players would assemble at Stockholm to fight the final battle, which is the city where the developers are located.ও But players didn't follow the script, they foug꧙ht for their own story in an honorable way."

While Helldivers 2 does have a game master, it's nice to see that we can impact the story in our own way if we all fight together. Rather than letting Equality fall and holding Prosperity, we let the Illuminate go too far into the capital, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the President of Super Earth was k⛄illed in action.

The news anchors say, "a magical thing happened, a lot of foreign players decided to back up Shanghai," when it became obvious New York's Mega City was going to fall. They praise the teamwork and state, "This great unity of Chinese and American netizens came to a happy ending on the 30th," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:when Super Earth won the war.

Isn't it great what we can do when we all pla🌼y together?
