Gameplay[edit]

Single-player[edit]

Starship

The single-player game features a campaign mode consisting of a series of missions connected by mission briefings. After a level is completed it is then available to play in a Level Attack mode, which is similar to a time trial mode, except a score and the number of kills are also recorded.

There are three different levels of difficulty, easy, medium, and hard. The level of difficulty affects the AI of the bugs, meaning they will notice you, and begin to attack you sooner on hard than on easy. The different levels also affect the amount of ammunition and grenades available throughout the missions, and the health of the bosses.

Most missions involve a player completing a single objective, with obstacles on the way. For example, the player's ultimate objective is to rescue comrades. The player may have to find the soldiers, protect them, retrieve supplies, fix equipment, and then escape.

During the course of a mission, a player may run into one or more bosses, often a Royal warrior or a bug that performs a heavy support role, such as a plasma bug or a tanker. As the game progresses, and tougher enemies are introduced, better guns are made available to the player.

Multiplayer[edit]

Multiplayer in Starship Troopers consists of three different modes; Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Co-op. The most popular mode is Co-op which sees players defending a mechanic from an onslaught of arachnids whilst retrieving parts to repair a dropship to escape in. The network and lobby functions of Starship Troopers were provided by Demonware who have now withdrawn the services.

Promised dedicated server and modification tools were never released, along with the closing of the official English forums player numbers in the multiplayer game were very low. The game also lacked any console or server commands which makes it impossible to execute a variety of necessary admin functions such as kick, ban or a map change. Lastly as the balancing of the weapons is directly inherited from the singleplayer mode this means that deathmatch play is not very competitive. A player who picks up the rocket launcher for example is likely to dominate the game because it scores significantly more damage compared to many other weapons, has an area of effect, can be fired rapidly and has a very large magazine.

Patches released for the game mainly focused upon improving the game's multiplayer mode. The latest, version 5.24 released in December 2005, introduced 4 new DM/TDM maps and 3 new co-op maps.

Reception[edit]

The game received mixed reviews, scoring 3.8 (out of 10) on GameSpot[1] and a 5 (out of 10) from IGN,[2] with both sites stating technical issues, such as problems with the AI and archaic graphics as the reason for the low score. There are also very few character models, leaving most troopers looking identical. The sound bites used for the troopers voices are also repeated many times throughout the game, with some bites placed at inappropriate times.

Starship Troopers was always misunderstood. First there was the book, which was a political philosophy wrapped in a narrative, then the movie (which was more about the gritty action than any politics), and then finally the game. Believe it or not, Starship Troopers the game had a more tumultuous creation process than even the movie. It was first set to be a third-person shooter that would pit you against swarming masses of bugs. However, it soon became very clear that there was no way any modern computer could put that many arachnids on the screen at once. Plan B was to transform it into an RTS.

You play an officer in the Mobile Infantry, basically the Marines of the 23rd century. You’ll be in charge of your very own platoon, selecting which troops to take on missions and what equipment to give them. Once that’s all settled, orders arrive via an audio briefing and then you’re dropped into the combat zone. On the ground, you control your platoon by squads, choose what formations they march in, give out waypoints, call in airstrikes, and even play around with the little mini-nukes that were so cool in the movie.

Fans of the book and the movie will be happy to know that the style, weaponry, and technology of the Starship Troopers mythos is intact. The power armor suits from the book (but missing from the movie) are here in all their bug-stomping glory. These things make the average grunt more like a walking tank and less like a walking bag of bug food. All the hardware from the movie is here as well, as well as some new additions. You’ll have the Morita assault rifle plus an array of energy and heavy weapons that are guaranteed to work better than a giant can of extra-strength Raid.

Among the missions – an invasion of the bugs’ homeworld, Klendathu; escort duty for truck convoys through arachnid-infected territory; and defending a fort under siege long enough for the dropships to come and pick you up. You’ll face worker bugs, warrior bugs, hopper bugs (the green, flying ones), massive tanker bugs that spew an acidic liquid, the giant bugs that shoot plasma out of their asses, and some brand-new, never-before-seen, er, bugs.

Starship Troopers is played with a free-roaming camera in a full 3D world, and this is where the flaws start to show up. The game itself looks good — the terrain is detailed, and the bugs look nice. But the camera has a very nasty habit of lagging behind your troops. It gets worse as you progress, until the camera is actually centered on a bit of ground that’s yards behind your troops. The environment makes matters worse, with very simple mountains and canyons often completely obscuring your view. This frustration can be avoided by hitting a button to reset the camera, but it’s evidently a button designed to accommodate crap camera.

Also, the bugs are just plain dumb. The best way to take them out is to form a gauntlet of troops, and then send one guy out as bait to lure the arachnids into the firing line. The bottom line is that Starship Troopers, while pretty, will appeal mostly to die-hard fans of the movie.
