Me and my brother has a excellent time... lauging at the poor game that's on the screen.
The briefing before all the lousy missions is just shouted by some crappy american voice actor and the briefing is put like this: "We have a million bad bugs there, kill them, and find survivors or something..."
And also there's some scenes from the actual movie before all the missions, which seem to be all out of order of the actual events in the movie and whats the mission's all about.
The AI is extremtly retarded, the soldiers around you rather go right up the face of one of these huge bugs and gets killed real bad than stay with you, but that could be something possitive becuase you never want them to be close to you anyways becuase they makes you even sicker than you'll possibly ever will be over the game in general.
The arsenal is copied from all the big games out there just to make it even more frustrating, you'll have a basic sub-machinegun with unlimited ammo but it will be overheated just like the Covenant Plasma Rifle in Halo, and it can also, somehow fire some explosive 'things' as well.
Except for the wierd submachinegun there's also some weapons like a Assult Rifle which is in some form in the actual movie, with a charataristic american cheap action movie sound that is all wrong and gives a feeling of you're firing a paintball rifle rather than a automatic rifle... and somehow it can also shoot some kind of shotgun shells? Or something that absolutley wouldn't be there.
And there's also some rocket launcher with a crazy rate of fire and has around 56 rockets loaded in the same time. And ofcourse they also have a shotgun or whatever they want it to look like, it's just a redesigned version of the shotgun you use to see in the Half Life games with alternetive fire modes, one fires single shots and the alt. fires double shots but has a effect of slower reloading time. And all the weapons you like to expect in a First Person Shooter and some you'd like to trash right there.
Ok, let's go to the whole use of all this stuff.
The game turned out to be slow, buggy (in every term you like), and unfocused. Many scripted secvenses, probably all the enemies are identical to each other but some has a few differenses for instance, the smaller bug that likes to climb walls is flashing you and will draw the attention of all nearby enemies to go on you (as they would do anyway) and there's some bigger bugs that seem to bite you but it feels like they're rather just hitting you a little bit before they got hit with one shot and dies, and there's ofcourse the plasma bug which fires some plasma stuff that doesn't deal any damage at all but they're hardass to kill, and so on.
The combat is nothing to talk about becuase it's all extremtly predictable, the enemies or allies will not try to teamwork or flank you or anything like that. As said before, you're allies just run into the enemy and gets killed as you watch them and just walk through that crowd of enemies and just smack them without any problems at all even how many they might get.
And in terms of health the system is IDENTICAL to the system you see in Halo, you have a small health-metre and a shield metre (which is here some automatic recharging kevlar) but only that in this game you'll never have to think about your health or pick any strategies, when you've killed the most brutal army of bugs you're probably gonna have 40-60% of your armor left which automaticly recharges whenever you're out of combat.
The interviews with this actor from the movie, Charlie or whatever his name is he dares to say that Halo is a cut-off from the Starship troopers movie, but what they've done here is a direct copy of all the greatest FPSes out there in the crappiest form ever seen. (The review can be located here at Gamespot)
This game leaves just a feel of BETA in it, and is probably the worst game I've ever seen.
