Being Wiped Out by Far Too Many Bugs | Arma 3 Starship Troopers

PRESS POV: • Starship Troopers Foun...
The glorious Mobile Infantry descends on the distant desert world of Haden IV in order to save a group of colonists under attack by an arachnid invasion! Tragically they refuse the help of the federation so ground forces simply decide to clear out the bugs AND them. Watch as Ignis fights through the sandstorm deserts to defeat the bug menace! Part 2 from the press team coming soon!

The vicious giant insects always come back, but nothing and i mean nothing can withstand our fixed bayonets THE EDF DEPLOYS!

[@peteralamares8819]

This op really makes me question how many magazines and how many bullets the troopers must carry. Does anyone else have that feeling?

[@jonumine6250]

I guess they never reload; spare mags are already attached, like a belt fed machine gun.

[@alvathespurned8186]

If it was the future and we had the same size magazines but could put more bullets in them I could see it. Otherwise I can only see them bringing 7 or 8 magazines to fight off bugs

[@darkrite9000]

Ignis is at it again, fighting bugs on worlds that really should've been glassed for humane reasons. But suppose if we just jumped to orbital bombardments we'd not get these situations. Ignis really does fit into the whole Starship troopers thing way too well, cause casualties are mounting and every day might as well be some fresh spin on hell. But that's what makes Ignis a joy to watch, keep up the good work guys.

Love the EDF reference. Would be awesome if there was a mod for that in Arma. Especially if the wacky weapons made it in and none of the troops knew. Giant bugs and kaiju attacking and the troops asking why their guns are shooting sideways and why they cannot throw grenades more than 2 feet.

[@stormlordeternal7663]

2 feet or 200, take it or leave it (at your feet)

[@CaptainRhodor]

Goblin horde VS bug horde, who wins? Bug horde. Because the bugs typically aren't incompetent and/or stupid XD It's also surprisingly harrowing to watch lights in the darkness steadily wink out, knowing that it's happening because the wielders are being eviscerated by bugs in the blackness.

Round 30 Zombies are nearly, and functionally unkillable by knifes late game. Simply because health increases by 150 or so until Round 9, then it becomes Exponential.
