Police Boots Stomp Bugs! | Starship Troopers: Urban Onslaught

Check out Starship Troopers: Terran Command - Urban Onslaught here!: steam.gs/l/6ed3d
I had a great time with this DLC, it took me a full 9 hours to beat on stream on the 2nd hardest difficulty, and the mission and unit variety were seriously fun. The characters were fun too, and I like that they didn't just copy the same dynamic they had in Raising Hell, instead going for a far more friendly relationship.

This reminds me a lot of a Starcraft fan campaign. UED: First Light. It's not exactly canon-compliant, but it's a really cool campaign about a hypothetical zerg invasion of Earth when Earth is REALLY not ready to face down something like that. The whole first mission is a really lengthy hero mission where you play as a patrol cop responding to disturbances in the city. First you respond to an 'animal attack' that turns out to be zerglings, then more pop up throughout the city. It turns into a whole ordeal where you respond to crisis points and try to save people while the invasion rapidly grows worse and worse, all on the same map.

I think part of what makes this game so good, is that it manages the challenging task of effective storytelling in an RTS format. Not just in the form of good writing and quality cutscenes, but also in the use of the actual gameplay mechanics and maps too, that creates a more immersive and cinematic experience. The only other games that achieved that (that I can think of) would be the Starcraft series. Another part of it is the obvious heart that is still being poured into the game's expansion and development, with a decent sense of humour clearly still present as well!

The news report of Starship troopers have a very distinct feeling to it. It's not just propaganda, it's cinematic propaganda. When things go wrong, they aren't constantly going "It's not a defeat or a retreat, it's a tactical withdrawal and a victory in the making at work !", their news broadcast have a flair for the dramatic, what will keep their citizens glued to their seats. If things have gone wrong, they don't hide it, but they always spin it in a way that instead of creating fear, it create suspence like a movie film. You want to see your hero wins, and if they do, grand celebration ! All is well that ends well. If they didn't ? Do not worry, high command always has a backup plan and it's already happening !

In regards to 'they swim now': the Roughneck Chronicles had two very notable bits where the bugs could, indeed, swim. First was an entire episode/season on a planet called Hydora, which was effectively 99.9*% water. Hoppers were fucking everywhere in that one, and more than once they burst out of the water to attack (unless I'm misremembering that part) Second was on Earth, they were doing the whole 'flood the subway' thing by planting bombs alongside a riverbed to sink some bug tunnels that were getting prepped for a massive subterranean invasion of a city. One of the hazards the team was met with was, indeed, swimming bugs. Looked kinda like smaller tankers if memory serves. So yes, 'they swim now' is a genuine concern for that tactic.

Plus, it's a taste of the bug experience, on a smaller scale of course

There are a metric fk ton of equipment that the Starship troopers universe has on hand to deal with certain events and disasters... much of it usually being ruined by politician corruption funneling money from said projects to better their own wallets. Though, in this universe, the second things go bad, said politicians are usually the first to die.

After the Mobile Infantry's liberation of Gehenna from the Arachnid threat, news came in from the planet Varuna that it's Capital Mahanagar is in the midst of a major battle with the arachnids and the local police forces are at risk of failing to stop the horde. Terran Command has chosen to mobilize many of it's Mobile Infantry Batallions and one of them is Rimmy's Ruff-necks. Terran Command has expressed great interest in this batallion for not only being the major force in liberating Kwalasha but also being the major force in liberating Gehenna. Major Rimmy might get himself another promotion or citizenship if he successfully leads his men to defeat the bugs once more. Would you like to know more?

[@memes_the_dna_of_the_soul5487]

Okay, ideas for the Helldivers RTS. Helldivers are like the elite unit of the Super Earth Faction, and can basically be called in anywhere are on the battlefield. The coolest thing that would be really hard to balance is if operations done by in the RTS could effect the war effort in the main game. to Like, an RTS player could say, defend/liberate a city, which would add some liberation percentage to the planet they did the liberation on. Edit: some concepts for units and general gameplay. The main resources of Super Earth would Requesition and Samples. Basically, Requestion would allow you to unlock units, comission the building of structures (Think your standard barracks, factory, and command center). Samples let you upgrade those units with new aspects. Requestion is gained simply by completing objectives and can just be found lying around the map. Samples are found similarly. So, lets take the standard squad of SEAF soilders, it's 5 guys with liberators. Now, this could turn into an Machine Gunner squad, an Anti-tank squad, or a Breaching Squad. Basically, units have upgrade _trees_ rather than a static set of upgrades. You advance through these trees by veterancy. Basically, an AT squad can engage smaller target, and an MG squad can engage (some) bigger targets, but they REALLY excell in there respective feild. Samples on the other hand are used to make one unit just a little bit better. Like increasing a units walk speed. As for units. A Democracy Officer, serving the role of a "General" unit, the Upgrade tree is either focusing on buffing allies with _Patriotism_ and anihlating enemes with _Freedom_ (Also called a 500kg bomb). Engineers could either be Combat engineers, able to build things like Sentries, mines, and fortification, or Archects, able to build more hardy defenses for your base. For passive Income, we have the SEN reporters, out to get live footage, their main upgrades is to either focus on combat footage or Super Earth. The Combat footage specalists might get a drone, and the Patroitism specalists just get an ability to plant a flag that would provide a massive increase in requestion based on where it's placed. These are just some basic ideas, but you can see that units would be able to enhance allies.

[@SlendHQ]

Helldivers could be a unit that auto-calls down special strikes but cannot be controlled past giving general orders toward a position. Hard to predict what they'll do next.

[@LordDarthHarry]

Here's an idea for a Helldiver's universe RTS. You command SEAF troops and only SEAF without any Helldivers outside of maybe them appearing in a story campaign. Apart from a story campaign and maybe a PvP mode called "War Games" or something, framed as training exercises the main meat of the game would be a single palyer/co-op PvE mode on procedurally generated maps. These missions would be in the same overworld as Helldivers 2 with both games contributing to Liberation and having their own MO's which would sometimes be entirely separate and sometimes intersect. Also would be funny if in the RTS the Terminids were the harder faction and Automatons the easier one.

No idea why you thought that major would be an ahole when devs had shown that they view all playable characters as bright spots in this bleak universe, who're trying to make it better... and ironically enough, they slowly do.

[@kolman3178]

To be perfectly honest its nice to see some honest positivity in stories.

[@RimmyDownunder]

That's not true at all lmao. The MI character from Raising Hell is absolutely not some bright point, he's a brainwashed idiot who goes along with the bad guys.

[@TheArklyte]

@@RimmyDownunder 1)there's also the main game; 2)that's not what my impression was in the end, though maybe I misunderstood something. Mercs were screwed over, but they didn't figure out that the only "customer" the corporation had was Federation government itself so their whole fit with the equipment in the end had no point. So MI commander wasn't as much brainwashed as he just did the job he was ordered to and had no problem with it.

[@RimmyDownunder]

@TheArklyte the corporation in raising hell are the bad guys, no two ways about it. They betray the mercs and use the MI to kill them off since the mercs cost the corp money but MI help is "free" (tax payer funded) Raising Hell ends with the bad guys handily winning and the corporation getting off scot free for a disaster they were responsible for. About as far from a "bright spot succeeding" as possible. Not like the mercs are good people either though. And yes, the MI character is brainwashed. The merc speaks the truth of what happened to him and the MI char chooses to blindly follow orders and kill him instead of any form of self reflection or questioning. He's a blind, loyal dog. The Major is very much the opposite. He expressly goes against his orders to avenge his friend and lies about it to command.

5:50 imagine them using the decoys to make rioters think they're completely surrounded

[@MichaelMallio]

next DLC Florida man single handedly repels bug invasion

[@Kaiimei]

I think I'd legitimately faint if they made a Helldivers RTS.

[@dinonuggets7148]

Most fellow Americans I know don't know about little bighorn, good reference

[@HappinestLoserEver]

We love urban warfare

[@LEGENDGAMES-SD]

Helldiver RTS damn that's will be great

[@shadowofhawk55]

I love how surprised Rimmy is by how equipped the citizens are. Bruh, the Federation is one of the most liberal societies ever. Free access to information, minimal government intervention in your day to day life, etc.... Going off that logic, you can own any weapon you want. Of course the police need heavy kit, paired with the Bug Invasions.
