They probably would have asked him. A Starship Troopers crossover event/DLC would have been especially fitting. They could have gotten all the cast to record some lines not just Rico. With the Staship Troopers game coming out it probably creates a ton of conflicts though. Unfortunately. If he did something for Helldivers, he would have to be a completely different character, which might not be _AS_ fun as him being Rico in Helldivers.

I also saw it in the theater when I was a kid. At first I wasn't sure if it was actually a good movie because it was so over the top corny, but then the epic swarm standoff scene happened and I knew it was a special movie. The cornyness is classic Verhoven satire, like Robocop, another classic.

What's crazy is that the director of the Starship Troopers infamously didn't even bother to read the book. I believe he claimed it was just fascist propaganda.

@@nicolaspeigne1429 It was something like they tried to 1.0 too early and broke the game beyond repair. Right around the time Helldivers 2 launched, which caused this mass exodus to THAT game. Supposedly, though, the Troopers game is still being worked on and still has a good following, and HD2 is starting to hemorrhage player base due to the insistence by the devs that the game needs to 'ramp up difficulty' a few dozen more times by year's end. I'm thinking the Troopers game will be mildly easier and a tribute to the 'expendable warfare' of the movie, while Helldivers is going to be the 'what do you mean you want functioning weapons?' variation for the 'wow omg lol yeet' gamers who fit THAT particular niche. Each will have its individual lane. Question is just whether or not the devs for the Troopers game can salvage the development time. Also, I say what I said about HD2 because the forums are full of people who have no idea what the word 'balance' means. The devs for HD2 have said they have no plans to make it anything but HARDER for the next 5 years, regardless of casual players' decisions to try playing or not. Launch was the easiest HD2 will ever be. Good or bad. P.S.: Don't forget EDF6 is also coming soon-ish, so 3 bug shooters sharing market space.

Could you IMAGINE Harsh Mistress, Time Enough or Stranger? I doubt ANY theater would accept a movie long enough for those themes.

I'm disappointed that the game's bugs don't rip you apart like they should, but in all seriousness, there needs to be a SST crossover DLC or something, since this game needs you to extract in the end of a mission, recreating the whiskey outpost ambush scene would've been perfect, I'd love some mobile infantry armor sets and get my hands on a morita rifle, maybe have Casper's voice as a new Voice option? :D I'd spend more money on the game no questions asked. And this probably would never happen but imagine a special 20+ player event that recreates the Klendathu Drop event, man... I want a crossover right now.
