Halo WISHES it was Helldivers 2
336Helldivers 2 has become an extraordinarily popular game since it released and Halo fans are jealous of its success because of some similar concepts in it. Halo has characters called ODSTs (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) in its vast universe which can be closely compared with the Helldivers characters. For over a decade now, people have been excitedly pitching ideas to the makers of Halo, *including ODST ideas that were just like Helldivers,* but they were dismissed every time. Now people are getting upset. Who's to blame? Microsoft? 343 Industries? Both?
