    Starship Troopers: Extermination

    This has potential to be a good game!
    Just released on Early Access, and a great price to go with it, £20.99 - that may increase on final release. Judging by the reviews, there's at least 3 months of fixes, and with the lack of content (of course might be hidden during Early Access being a licensed IP) a further 3 months for more.
    And judging by the price, this won't have a COD size development team.

    As far as I can tell, this is PC only. The developers are behind the game SQUAD.

    I was looking at this earlier, looks like it could be fun. Defintely going to be on my radar when we're on the look out for something new to play.

    I don't like MP games....but this kinda looks like fun. I imagine you need a good bunch of people rather than randoms to play with though.

    Looking at the reviews, it appears the only mode is currently 16 players. Some have said a 4 man squad would be great, so heres hoping the developers listen.
    But of course we have to remember it is a licensed IP so flexibility may be minimal.

    It does look like fun .... sorta. It's not for me, though.

    I'm not a fan of "early access", which I translate as "late beta you have to pay for". I'm also not a fan of what appears to be time limits. I have a habit of buying something, then not getting to it for months. I bought a handful of GOG games about 6 months ago and still haven't installed several, so '3 months of this, 3 months of that' just doesn't suit me.

    Finally, and probably the killer blow, as it were .... I am only really interested in single-player games, not multi, and really, even co-op is in my past, and was limited to a maximum of about 4 .... on my LAN.

    So yeah, looks like fun but sadly, not my thing.

    Re: Starship Troopers: Extermination

    Co-op PVE is about all I'm generally up for with multiplayer, as I have no hope against professional PVPers.
    I'd be interested at £20.
