The book of Starship Troopers came before starcraft and starcraft even uses some of the same names as Starship Troopers. Zerg = the bugs, Tophets = Protoss, and Terran = Mobile infantry. In wikipedia it even mentions that all these games got their similar ideas from the franchise of Starship Troopers. Aside from that though Starcraft rocks anyhow and the gameplay isn't unique but is married perfectly in using the franchise base. Starcraft is still awesome.
but keep in mind, wikipedia is a open editing "dictionary".
i know without looking it up the original book dates back from the late '50, thats why i said that the planes, in the CGI series, are more based on WOII planes, then "modern" fighter planes.
and yes, Starcraft 1 & 2 kicks ass in the RTS world, its storyline can only be matched by that of ( westwood time ) Command and Concuer :-)
Quick question... why did the series get canceled? With modern CGI, a TV-MA rating so they could gore it up, and a little advertising... this show could be full of untold badassery. Wouldn't even mind a mini-series based off the comics they did. The Tigers and Vandals were some hardcore troopers.
according to the writers its cause he is a jerkhole and a pain to high command. but they dont discharge him only demote his ass for being a top pilot dispite his social fualts.
@starcraftpimp hi higgins also quite brave he finally learn how to use the rocekt launcher but he is creative when the squad is running of out of laser magazine he reconmmend using his lens to ehnace the laser this help to kill the flying bugs in 1 area u need ideas like this in a war
Good point. Pluto does not have oxygen, so there can be no fires. Also the low gravity of Pluto is not shown in this. The hoppers should be doing MASSIVE flights and the missiles should be acting different to what they do on earth
ya it's a friggin' kids show based on a old sci-fi book, just enjoy the awesome 3-d animation and if you watch enough of these the characters start to grow on you too.
Dude, flies are attracted to light. You know how it's like to have a fly in your room? They always hang around the light and it's annoying so you just wanna kill 'em. I kinda wish I could do what they just did on here.
me m8 came round to me place and took his bb gun with him, i got grabed it and shot the fly with a bb desert egal :D lol it made like a big dent in it and cracked
What does that have to do with irony? And damnm that laser is the least of this show's worries, I want to know why there's atmosphere and Earth-like gravity on Pluto.
Dude, take your mind off the hook for a while and enjoy the show! It doesn't need to make 100% sense, and besides, they're all wearing sealed suits, and the bugs don't breathe, so it doesn't matter about atmosphere.
pluto does have an atmosphere, a very thin one. that with the low gravity allows for the flying bugs, and if the bugs have some other method of generating cellular energy then lack of atmosphere won't be a problem.
As far as I can tell, it wasn't supposed to, and didn't make the laser stronger. My guess is it was intended to do quite the opposite, spread the beam to make it more visible.
higgins can be the noob with the rocket launcher on my team any day!
