My friends and I are looking for a new game to play on Xbox and i had a couple wisdoms about helldivers. We are FPS/strategy fans. We loved CoD/Titanfall/gears pve/pvx modes. We need some sense of progression or we lose interest in the game. There are 3 of us.

Would the 3 of us be able to play together and just be us or would we need to add another to play all the game content?
If just two of us play would we leave our friends to far behind progression wise or would we be able to catch him up/ play his missions?
What is the state of the game now? Would you encourage your friends to start now?
What does the progression look like? Is it static missions you need to play through or can you just do one off missions launch and kill sort of thing that are randomly generated?
Is Build diversity a thing? Or are you hampered if your friend decides to play with only pistols?

The progression in this game is really just accumulating resources and currency to unlock new call ins, armor, weapons and tools. The missions are not tied to anything other than may be some current story line events that change pretty frequently. You can always play together and never be too far ahead or behind someone. You'll just have better weapons, drops, etc.
