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.

It's great. The whole mission is just one big confusing clusterfuck. I have no idea where the objectives are or who is in charge, people are screaming lines from Aliens and Avatar and Starship Troopers and a dozen other movies on VoiP, running out of ammo is a constant problem, Everyone builds bases totally haphazardly so you don't even know when the walls come down and bugs come flooding in.

I've made it to the evac ship one time out of the four rounds I've played tonight. Just total, utter chaos, I love it.
