4 new Deathmatch/Team Deathmatch maps - Bait, Duel, Hill and Offensive in the straight head to head mode where up to 32 players are pitted against each other in various arenas, the objective being to kill your opponents and make you claim for the top score. Team Deathmatch allows players to team up and collectively aim for their place at the top of the kill table.

3 new Co-operative maps
Bait, Psiops and Stronghold allow up to 8 players to form their own squad of 'Mobile Infantry' and play together to defeat the bugs. Here's the desperate situation in one of the new maps: Whilst transporting a squadron of Marauders back to their command ship, your ship is hit and downed in the heart of Bug territory. You've got a Mech Trooper who can fix the ship but he needs some spares, which must be located from another busted ship. This is hostile territory and the arachnids know you're there but if everyone stays behind to protect the mechanic, who is going to get the parts from the broken drop ship?

Starship Troopers the videogame has to be played to be believed! Become totally immersed in immense bug-blasting battles in both famous action-packed scenes from Paul Verhoeven's classic movie and never-before-experienced settings and stories from the Starship Troopers universe.


Starship Troopers the videogame is a true PC epic - the most cinematic, all-out-action, adrenaline-pumping first-person-shooter to ever hit the PC. A must-buy title for fans of the Starship Troopers universe and guaranteed to be top of the Christmas lists for PC Gamers and sci-fi fans alike. The First Person Shooter genre just moved up to the next level. Heed your General's battle cry as you run into another swarm of bugs: "Come on you apes, you wanna live forever?"

Remember: kill anything with more than two legs!
