Starship Troopers: Extermination

159 hours here, mostly sniper and medic there are good times if you have low ping and teammates that don't treat every FPS game like It's cod but those are hard to find players. Hit reg is poor especially with big sniper gun. BS 1 second time to pull out healing item before Fire 1 shot kills you needs to be fixed. Overall it's inconsistent fun and the engine is still poorly optimized. A lot of potential here, but Devs don't fix key issues, instead they release skin packs. Latest update with mechs is a lot of fun until you get squished by teammates in mech suit who don't see you coming up with repair tool or fresh ammo. Too many players constantly moving around when bugs follow a very predictable path. Like if it's a shooter imagine team mates running from window to window while the enemy will ALWAYS come through the door. maybe this game is Good enough for some people, but I have higher standards. I've kept with it hoping for cores issues to be fixed, but nope. So I'm gone. Really tried hard to love this game.

Want to know more? Please not that this kind of a limited recommendation: [i]Starship Troopers: Extermination[/i] is a great game if you are into the Starship Troopers Universe. It captures the feeling of battles against hordes of bugs in a remarkable way and the community of players also is great. However, [i]Starship Troopers: Extermination[/i] struggle with the fact that its developers are dedicated and genuinely come across nice, but implement things slowly and often long after they should have been. As an example, daily missions only have been added recently while similar games would most likely start out with them. There are a lot of classes and weapons, that serve different playstyles and one can level those classes as well as weapons. However, the reenlistment system the game has sets back the level of your class (but not your weapons) once you reach level hundred and agree to reenlist. A fact I found rather tedious after the second time… A further problem is that most players you will encounter are nice but the player base is small at this point. You will find games, but might have to switch servers or wait several minutes if you want to play a certain mission or type of mission. So, all in all: If you like team-based horde shooters set and/or Starship trooper you can give it a try – because as you know: Service guarantees Citizenship!

Extremely laggy, and will lag your entire computer, even outside the game, it will lag your browser, and your apps. WASTED 40 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DOLLARS

the game's overall not bad but there are a lot of things that needs fixing first the good. reasonably solid gameplay loop and definitely not that difficult to learn the basics. feels faithful to the movie and it feels way more balanced than whatever helldivers 2 is trying to pull off. base building feels easy to do and the slight resourcing aspect is pretty interesting in a good way. also there seems to be a type of story and the game also at least feels like its rewarding your participation. also the 4x 4-man team feels sufficiently chaotic while not feeling limited overall. the bad. the weapon selection feels pretty limited in comparison to a lot of games so hopefully there are more things to use later. the game visually doesn't feel like its worth the price tag but this is a smaller issue. the singleplayer mode feels buggy and unfinished; you have very limited options on what you can tell your team mates to do and you have to walk up to them to do it and there's a bug in one of the early missions when you cannot place a gas resource into the bin. the iron sights on the guns generally feel terrible to use and i think its more of how the zoom was implemented... i see more of the gun's handle than the sight itself. there also seem to be some issues with the intro video since its lagging. overall there really doesn't feel like a lot to do despite the game being out for 3 years overall... yea would recommend. game does need more players at the moment too

I HATE bugs

The game is rough around the edges but an overall blast. It features really large scale and chaotic battles and a good varity of game modes (depends on server region your chance of getting in though). The classes are fun and there is some good unlock progression that is grindy but you unlock lots of stuff fast so you are always trying something new. Overall 8/10 game and it feels like a hd2 "seaf" game. (also you can get this game for 5 dollars on key websites)

Why do all games take a stupid amount of time to level things up. Bro, let us get to the fun ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ part of your game.

Once upon a time I really loved that game, as my playtime may prove. It was cool, it was unique, it was something else that welded players together against a threat so hardcore and intimidating that nobody dared to go alone and do their own thing. Sadly, with the official release the history of its downhill track began with a severe fall, and now, a few years after the game's first EA days, nothing of what made the game great is left. Only powercreep and a very... unique... community. If you're looking for a game in which you can switch off your brain, put a weight on your left mouse button so you continue to shoot endless while going afk, and still play at the top of the "leaderboard" while winning any match, this is just the game you've been wanting all along and I can actually recommend it, IF you don't mind the many many bugs (without the capital B) that are still present, some of them for years now, and can partially be game-breaking. Unable to climb/unable to run/pathfinding broken for months over months causing many bugs to run circles or not move at all/infrequent game crashes/ poorly optimized perfomance that generates severe lags even on high end machines/bugs that render you unable to continue playing or prevent you from booting the game at all without looking up solutions/ instable servers that show you a 40ms ping but play like 200ms as well as overall server lags so severe that bugs are teleporting while doing the walking animation on the spot/ invisible bugs that dig out near you, but only on the server side and you on the client side can't see what's attacking you... Been there, seen that, and that's just the tip of the iceberg of bugs I encountered over the years, many of them still present up to this day. I don't say it'll happen to you since you very well CAN have a mostly clean experience if Lady Luck favors you but I think you should know what you're getting yourself into before actually buying the game. :3 If you're looking for a serious game with actually good gameplay and decent mechanics, a game that delivers and allows you to immerse in a universe of its own, I suggest you go look elsewhere since you won't find what you're looking here, you're years too late for that. ST:E now can be described as a one-man show in which each of the 16 players can easily solo objectives once reaching re-enlistment 2 under most circumstances. A very, very, veeery few mutators still require at least 4 of 16 troopers to collaborate in vital roles to pull the rest of the team through, but those are, like, 1 outta 10 games if I'm generous. Teamwork is still being promoted officially, but in truth it's just a boon and utterly optional unlike in the old days. Classes are being sold as unique nowadays, but by now - once you unlock weapon masteries! - every class is pretty much the same save for minor differences and the ability you can deploy. I guess when all's said and done, the game's decent enough if you can look past all the detoriations this game has gone through, but it's nowhere near as glorious as it once was. I truly loved and admired the game, but I have to finally admit to myself that I hate what it has become. For me, as someone who is used to fps games and a dedicated gamer, the game has become plain boring over a year ago. A single mutator is left that makes games fun to me but if you aren't on in the 1 or 2 hours it's available on the limited map selection... Well, tough luck! To sum it up I guess... You'll get your share of fun I'm sure, especially if you're a fan of the franchise, but in my opinion once you unlocked all classes/perks/weapon upgrades/etc. pp. you're bound to notice that the game lacks long-term entertainment value aside from socializing but only throws monotone and repetitive tasks at you which can be completed solo if you got a sliver of skill but are supposed to be multi-player missions, and of course they get just that much easier with 1 or 2 more people. If you ask me the Bug aren't a threat at all anymore, but only victims waiting to be stomped, at least in what have become of this portion of the universe!

This game sucks.

has DLCs required to unlock some perks that are very strong.
