Starship Troopers: Extermination — now for sixteen

The developers of the cooperative shooter based on Robert Heinlein's book and Paul Verhoeven's movie «Starship Troopers» have updated their work to version 1.5. Now, in any of the missions of Starship Troopers: Extermination, up to 16 people can fight simultaneously, whereas before only four could play. However, the bug enemies have also become more aggressive — specifically for their destruction, an arsenal including nuclear weapons has been added to the game. There are also items for the most persistent fighters against the alien threat, but we'll tell you everything in order.

The Federation is strengthening its response to the increased aggressiveness of the intelligent bugs and now allows troopers to operate in groups of up to sixteen people. To destroy enemy nests, soldiers have received nuclear canisters T.O.A.D. This is a weapon given to one of the squad members to carry the canister and place it in time where an explosion needs to be produced. Of course, the carrier will need an escort to even reach the bomb placement point. Also added to the equipment is the Morita II rifle — a modification of the assault rifle with an underbarrel grenade launcher and remarkable design. It also fires plasma and allows setting the firing mode. Everyone who reaches level 16 will receive it.

The heroes of the Federation, in turn, can try on the new Stinging Fury appearance. This design does not introduce tactical changes, but it allows coloring the suit and equipment in the brightest shades. There are plenty of other adjustments in the game. The horde mode, in particular, now depends not on the number of bugs killed — but solely on the timer. A convenient mission filter has been added to the menu, and the selection of operations is now only possible when the Galactic Front is active. The developers also reported on graphical improvements of the action game and bug fixes, including characters getting stuck in textures and incorrect gamepad operation.
