Warrior Bugs form the core of the Arachnid army. Roughneck Field Support lack a secondary weapon, but are your only source of ammunition. Their sniper rifles are highly effective against Hopper Bugs, but they are more vulnerable to Warrior Bugs. Roughneck Snipers carry a sniper rifle and a shotgun. Their grenades are highly effective against Tanker Bugs, but they are more vulnerable to Warrior Bugs and Hopper Bugs. Roughneck Grenadiers carry an assault rifle and grenades. They are most effective at repelling waves of Warrior Bugs. Roughneck Soldiers carry an assault rifle and a shotgun. Objective mode: Play as the Roughnecks in a cinematic objective campaign, in which you must defend your outpost against an Arachnid attack until rescue shuttles arrive. Team DM mode: Play as either the Roughnecks or the Arachnids in the rocky desert outside the outpost. For those of you unfamiliar with the movie, essentially the battle is set in the future, between humanity's military, specifically the Roughnecks unit of the United Citizen Federation's Mobile Infantry, and giant sentient killer bugs known as "Arachnids".

He first ordered the pilots of the Landing Boat to relay his request for the Fleet to commence an immediate orbital strike on the planet but was denied as the Sky Marshal had other plans for the planet, alluding to the future mission launched hours later to mount a full invasion to capture the planet's suspected Brain Bug.This is my first ground map, and it attempts to recreate the battle at Whiskey Outpost from the movie Starship Troopers. After the battle, Rico assumed command of the mission after the deaths of Lieutenant Rasczak and Sergeant Gillespie. General Owen was killed by a Hopper Bug that had been shot down by Corporal Johnny Rico.

Over half the unit was killed, including Jean Rasczak and Dizzy Flores. Despite the best efforts of the Roughnecks, the Arachnid forces were able to penetrate the base just as a Fleet Landing Boat, piloted by Rodger Young (176) pilots Carmen Ibanez and Zander Barcalow, arrived to pull the troopers out. Rico supervised Dizzy Flores, who was the radio operator, and demanded that Fleet send down a landing craft to evacuate the team. Only moments later, hundreds, if not thousands, of Arachnid Warrior Bugs supported by several Tanker Bugs and Hopper Bugs rushed the outpost. The Lieutenant briefly considered killing the General, who had been uncontrollably ranting in a panic, but Johnny Rico dissuaded him from doing so. While inspecting the base, they discovered that the Arachnids had sucked out the brain of the outpost garrison's radio operator Lieutenant Farley, and presumably it was he who had sent out the distress signal.

The only survivor was General Owen, who became a post-traumatic wreck. Rasczak used a sniper-type Morita Assault Rifle to shoot Gillespie in a mercy killing, and emphasised his expectation that if he were to fall into the same fate, he required his squad to similarly euthanise him.īy the time they arrived, all the personnel at Whiskey Outpost had been killed. Before reaching the outpost, it was clear to the Roughnecks that there was an Arachnid presence on Planet P when their radio operator, Gillespie, was impaled and carried away by a Hopper Bug. The Roughnecks were deployed a distance away from the outpost moving through mountainous terrain to reach it causing some degree of radio interference. Despite this, Lieutenant Rasczak personally acted as the mission commander. Having previously been engaged on Tango Urilla where casualties were sustained, and with the current objective simply being a scouting mission, the Roughnecks deployed only a Platoon in this case. The Mobile Infantry responded by sending their best unit, Rasczak's Roughnecks, to investigate. After a successful battle against the Arachnids on Tango Urilla, Fleet Command received a distress call from General Owen at his command post on Planet P.
