Starship Troopers Global Patch

At the start of the game, the war is not going well the bugs are rampaging across Hesperus - a planet perilously close to Earth. Colonised by man, Hesperus was once a haven of earthly tranquillity. Now, it is a terrifying battleground where the weaknesses of an implacable foe must be discovered and exploited.

Play as an Elite Marauder

Are you ready to join the 'Marauders' - the elite 'Special Forces' of the Mobile Infantry? Can you spearhead the assault against thousands of intelligent enemy bugs? Can you retake planet Hesperus, a Colonized Human mining planet, to save the federation, destroy the entire bug species and eliminate the Brain Bug?.

Defend your compound against over 300 enemies coming at you simultaneously each with their own AI, using a variety specialist weapons, in these epic battles all made possible by the unique SWARM game engine. It's not been possible before now to put this number of enemies against you all at once.

Huge Cinematic Battles "Bugs sir - millions of them!" "How many millions trooper?"

You'll be fighting against hundreds of enemies at once - just as in the movie you will have to overcome wave upon wave of bugs.

From start to finish it features a mix of huge real-time battles on an epic scale and solo 'infiltration' type missions.

There are varied Combat Environments - Indoor and outdoor levels, including the wide-open battlefields, a secret laboratory, claustrophobic bug nests, abandoned mines and lonely outposts.

Weapons of Mass Destruction

The Marauders are armed with lots of explosive weaponry. Weapons include the "standard" Morita rifle (seen in the film) as well as the plasma rifle, shotgun and rocket launcher, plus a variety of new and exciting items such as intelligent grenades and the infamous nuke launcher. You've got to make sure you have the right weapon in your hand when it comes to taking out the big bugs.

A Brave New World

Not just limited by the locations seen in the movie, the game will be spread across a variety of internal and external environments on the planet Hesperus. Missions range from huge battles to small incursions behind enemy lines.

At last, a first person shooter worthy of the Starship Troopers film complete with warrior, tanker and brain bugs; many of the film settings like Whiskey Outpost and the tongue in cheek humour from the grunts around you. All backed up by Johnny Rico giving you your mission instructions. Then you go beyond the film into the wider Starship Troopers universe.

New Life

As well as the Warrior, Hopper and Tanker seen in the movie the game will feature over 19 types of bug - all with their own unique characteristics. Save humanity from the bug threat and battle 19 types of arachnid enemies on the strange alien planet through visually stunning varied terrains, wide open landscapes and claustrophobic tunnels across 12 levels. They're up close and personal in your face mostly 2 to 3 meters away. And some of them are 10 metres tall!

You are not alone

As well as the single player there's 3 co-op levels, 3 deathmatch levels and 3 team deathmatch levels. Dedicated co-op multiplayer levels to test you and your platoon. Up to 8 players can form their own squad of 'Mobile Infantry' and play together to defeat the arachnid menace? How about having a go at the Trooper vs. Trooper 'deathmatch'

Remember - You are an elite marauder, the best of the best, sent on to this distant alien planet to meet up with and help the troopers through the hazardous missions. You've arrived on the rebound from a major defeat and with your superior armour and weaponry you have to put yourself in the frontline. The mobile infantry will give you breathing space, but you've also got to take the enemies down.
