It's about time Starship Troopers gets a proper horde-based FPS with base-building elements. Now it just remains to be seen if it'll be any good!
The footage is pre-alpha, so the wonky graphics and stock-ish gun sounds should hopefully be improved significantly before release.
It's by the same team that made Squad, so there probably won't be any single-player features, but if it's made with the same love as Squad, it'll probably be pretty damn cool.
^ I didn't even notice that connection, thanks for pointing that out. I've gone from marginally interested to partially interested :bd:
No PVP but coop. The guys that did squad.... TICK.
Great stuff looks like a winner.
That looks like it could be exciting!
If there is even the whiff of a SP campaign I am in.

If there's a Dina Meyer one I'm in.
^The above 2-3 posts are genius.
anyone pick this up? early access just released today. ive played several rounds so far. very chaotic as you can imagine. 3 classes to choose from. assault, heavy and a medic. i chose medic nad currently have a drone that revives people. my heals i use on myself as trying to target another player seems difficult since everyone is running around to much. hopefully im able to unlock an area heal once i level up some! good fun so far.
I'm on the fence. Just wish there was some single player options...and gore. How the hell is there no gore?

Me too. I would really like there to be a single player option.
The FAQ indicates that there are no plans for a single player campaign on the development road map and no plans for AI bots for the foreseeable future, certainly through early access.
I did get it, and I played a single mission. It was mildly enjoyable. I think I got lucky and the majority of the guys in my squad sounded like they had already gone through puberty. The nature of the game makes cooperation and close coordination with other players, useful, but not absolutely mandatory to success or enjoyment. Therefore, the quality of my experience didn't feel as dependent on the activities and maturity level of other players in the game. This was just on one map and one type of objective, so this opinion is of course subject to change.
I have to say reading the FAQ gives me little confidence. It sounds like they will struggle just to do basic bugs vs basic infantry let alone giant bugs, dropships, tanks, armor etc.
I own the animated TV series and the starship troopers movie and did start to read the book at one stage. So I know what could be but do not know whether gold visored faceless troopers with otherwise movie like looking equipment is correct. I think the books had heavily armored jump troops with every man having nukes?
They did not get the rights to the movie music either which would have been a major motivator for me. I just love that theme song. Sounds strange but it's mood music.
Another thing is that I get the feeling this game is a left4dead clone that is not about tactics but about waves of enemy. Replayability even the first time could be limited if this is the case.
Hate to be a negative nancy but it is what it is.
Besides I am enjoying Aliens fireteam elite with friends at the moment and it sounds like that has a little more depth?
Jarhead... prove me wrong on this plllllease. I'd love to grab it.
