Starship Troopers: Extermination is a new 16 player coop shooter in Early Access.

If a player is killed by a bug they have a 20 second timer for you to revive them. If you’re too late and arrive at the body you are given the option to ‘Present Arms’.

Doing so has your character salute the still warm body. You even get 7 xp for doing so.

Please tell me the default keyboard binding for it is F.

What makes it better is the levels all have a through-line of a story in the DLC's, with SMS messages coming through from the client just for a little world-building.

So you're probably gonna get messages from Squidward or Spongebob while cleaning their house and the like. I'd wager there'll be an internal map to hose down the Krusty Krab's interior too.

They should add a feature where if you're getting eaten by a bug, but aren't dead yet, you can issue to
"Do it, Rico!" command to have a teammate kill you.

There should be an optional dialogue where your character can say "But it's OK, because I got to have you."

I found the Chicken Little PS2 game yesterday, not the one everyone memes on that's based off of the events of the movie, but the OTHER one that's based on the movie-within-the-movie where the joke is that CL, Runt and Abby are playing the console game adaption of the movie that was based off of their lives, and there are some cute gags relating to that, like a cutscene where it shows that Fish had to come over and beat a level for CL as he got stuck, and a tutorial message on the first tank level that's due to Runt-of-the-Litter back-seat gaming. Also sometimes the children playing the game have things to say that are kind of amusing, like when Runt is gushing over how cool the sexed-up hot version of Abby from the movie is and CL just responds "Have you forgotten who's playing this game?"

There is also some genuinely funny dialog especially from Adam West as Ace Little (the badass movie version of CL) like "I know protocol says to send the expendable crew members on away missions but we ran out of them on our last mission."

I'm onto the second planet in Chicken Little, the game has quite satisfying fights. It always feels like you are doing a lot of damage to bosses as they have strong animations for that kind of thing, although they also do a lot to you, and in the missions escorting the main ship with a smaller one defending it, the main ship has really powerful weapons that take out the larger targets, you just need to help it not die before it reaches them.

That's why I like it so much, the writing feels so much less cruel than the movie. CL has some cute lines flirting with Abby, Buck Cluck is thankfully absent so far as is the weirdly brainwashed Foxy Loxy from the movie. It's just three kids playing a video game together with some kind of relatable gags like Chicken Little being slightly intimidated by the first boss and Abby encouraging him :3: Also Adam West voices Ace LIttle, so that's fun.

I've never heard of a "movie" of Chicken Little though I imagine there must be several, since it's based on... an Aesop's fable? Something about a chicken who thought the sky was falling because it was... hailing, I assume?

The first boss is also interesting in concept - Foxy Loxy has escaped her prison cell and as a distraction has trapped the warden in his own tank, but it's malfunctioning and he has no control over it so you have to shoot it to pieces to stop the rampage that he's helplessly caught in.

Disney made a really poor movie in the mid-2000s that was just kin of gross and unpleasant.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Short version it turns out the sky is falling because there's a shitload of flying saucers holding hex plate screens to hide themselves in preparation for an invasion.

Also one character gets brainwashed and everyone decides to keep her that way because she's cute and funny now.

Also the protagonists father is the most unlikeable emotionally abusive piece of poo poo. At least Triton's BS came from a place of caring, Buck Cluck was more embarrassed that his son existed at all. Also a rather funny cutscene in the game, you get to an expository FMV to advance the game's plot, then Chicken Little in real life pauses it to skip the cutscene, to Abby and Runt's chagrin. I thought that was funny.

Another problem with Buck is that he only shows support to his son when he succeeds in a sport, making clear that his love is purely conditional.

Earlier I posted about you being able to salute your dead comrades in Starship Troopers (the default button for this is F, but it'll just be whatever your interact key is)

Just now I found out if you get near a Federation flag it gives you the option to 'Witness Liberation' which has you salute the flag.

I hope they add new and interesting things for me to salute in the future.
