Starship Troopers Extermination just released a day or two a go. In this game sixteen players with absolutely dogshit guns, sub part jet packs, and 3 foot high barricade walls fight hordes of 15 foot tall space bugs for the glory of earth, humanity, and fascism.

I've only played one round of the game, idk if it's good or not, but the forum flame wars happening right now are hilarious. All the CHUDs who never found out that Verhoeven was laughing at them, and the die hard Heinlein enjoyers, are very mad that people are laughing at their politics and making fun of them. Much screaming of "THE CURTAINS ARE BLUE" and "Verhoeven is dumb and doesn't know what fascism is".

Making this game at this time is a bold ass move. In a single player game you don't communicate with anyone, but in a multi player FPS game you can have discourse. I look fondly ahead towards some of the epic gamer moments this game will surely create.

    i've been playing a lot of the game since its early access release and its DEFINITELY unfinished but so far i'm actually kinda liking it. its very obvious that it needs work and especially balancing but for a simple wave survival shooter, it has the base mechanics pretty well. the discord server is chud central with weirdos from the US army larping and taking the game way too seriously and jerking off the military while not understanding that the base movie is literally a satire of them. worth looking at for a good laugh if you wanna see idiot chuds and people making really bad suggestions for the game.
