Starship Troopers Mod Concept

<div class="IPBDescription">For HL2</div> Right now, my team of schoolmates and I have suspended our Gundam mod for bf1942, and have started on a SST mod for the upcoming HL2. We have made good progress, but I think the mod will hit low time when hl2 comes out, so our coder can get the SDK all figured out, so he can get to work. Naturally, we are keeping the movie SST storyline, but with some of the book ideas, which I think makes it even better. A few goals we are working on, some are even met.

-Normal SST movie MI troopers, but with "master chief" type armor from Halo, without helmet, concepts look very close now.
-Heavy mobilized armor, looks like and will come from the "Blue Gender" Anime series, dubbed "Armored Advanced Shrike" or AAS assault unit.
-All normal SST movie bugs
-Weapons for normal MI assault marines, Morita and various conversions. A heavily modified version of a Pulse Rifle will be added.
-Map scenarios...capture the brain, standoff, escape, assault, retreat, wait for dropship, siege, and rescue.
-FLYABLE vehicals, such as the light bombers shown in the movie.

Meh...more work to do...post your thoughts/suggestions.

    Well, being that Greyfox has so much going on, I wonder if he'd let me be a part of his mod team....hmm...

    Keep its SST. Don;t anime it up.

    I want the traditional armor and lots of bugs to kill.

    On a side note, the book has it the opposite. 1 Human is in a mini mech and can kill thousands of bugs.

    Everyone on the same team against hordes of AI bugs = win.

    To bad.....we just want a heavy mech to fool with, yeah I know its all mechs in the books, but we didnt like that idea. The mech in the "Blue Gender" anime is MADE to fight bugs bigger than itself!
    (plus teh cool wheels of doom)

    Anyways, it wont differ from the SST movie or book than the modified weapons and the mech.

    ...did I ask you?
    I mean, not to be mean or anything, you suddenly assumed you could be on the team? Sorry but....its a thing im doing with real life friends, its MUCH easier to do.

    Ahhh gawd.... someone get a towel....

    wait for dropship should be the most-played and most-made map type. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Be sure to have ALL the bugs, dude, if i dont get to nuke a plasma bug... i'll be sad.


    Also, for anyone that has Duke Nukem 3D, there was a StarShip Trooper mod for that, too. Sadly, it's home page hasn't been updated since 2001. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> Im not even sure if its still up.

    Another SST mod?

    Well try to at least learn from the mistakes of all the other SST mods:

    - Do not call it Starship Troopers Half-Life 2, otherwise you'll be foxed (like all the other SST mods were).

    Indeed... Especially if you're going to add in so much junk...

    Come up with your own names and symbols and such...



    Should be fun... especially if it gets all like a squad-style beach head game...
