 Game Over Online Magazine - Starship Troopers (RTS)
Like the novel and the movie, Starship Troopers is set in the 23rd century as an epic interplanetary war rages between humans and intergalactic insects termed Arachnids.
In the game, you assume the role of a Lieutenant, given charge of a platoon of mobile infantry as you descend to the planet of Klendathu at the commencement of the 3rd Terran Space War.
Klendathu's environments leave little to be desired, but it is a bug planet after all, not to mention one inhabited by insects with an anthill mentality, so it shouldn't be unexpected to see bland horizons.

Gettysburg - "Gettysburg" captures in vivid detail one of the most famous battles of the Civil War where over 50,000 lives were lost.
The regiment soon discovers its first battle is to prove it can fight with skill and courage.
One fights for the chance to be a renowned pilot, one for revenge, and one for the love of a good man, but interpersonal relationships take a backseat to the firepower leveled against (and returned from) the chitinous aliens.

That decision takes them to the distant planet of Klendathu to battle man's worst enemy ever, the alien bugs.
While this may be disputably true, (I of course would reason that I have seen much, much worse!) whatever faults Troopers may have in other areas, it more than sufficiently makes up for it with its FX (special effects).
The battle scenes, both in space and on the ground are incredibly detailed, graphic and believable!

 Starship Troopers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Following the losses in the ill-conceived and executed First Battle of Klendathu, the Terran Federation is reduced to making hit-and-run raids on isolated Arachnid and Skinny bases, similar to the U.S. Navy's situation between Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Midway.
The loss of Rico's ship, Valley Forge, during the Klendathu drop may have been inspired by the loss of one of Heinlein's former ships, USS Lexington, which was sunk by the Japanese in 1942.
However, in the Battle of Athens, the veterans were supported by other voters opposed to the local machine, and their organization included many local civilians who were non-veterans.

 boekverslag Starship troopers door Robert A. Heinlein | scholieren.com
Aliens, giant bugs from the planet Klendathu are trying to destroy the earth and we'd better stop them.
So in the movie the accent is more on the battle with Klendathu and how to save the earth.
Of course, as always, the book is better than the movie, it is more detailed about the equipment and therefor more realistic than the movie.

 BUGS!!!!!!!!!
They were done so well, that in fact I overlooked the seemingly rampant lack of a real plot line and the fact that this was basically a Beverly Hills 90210 in the 26th century.
I really do love this movie though, I think that the Arachnids were remarkable and the battle scenes were absolutely amazingly well done.
There was a completely useless co-ed shower scene with lots of tits, and there is a bit of romance too (referring back to the 90210 reference) and hot chicks who cause good looking guys to get into bar fights because of broken hearts and new bed partners.

With other grunts, the pair travel to the planet Klendathu to battle the warrior creepy-crawlies, only to find themselves in an initial battle in which 100,000 lives are lost--and where it is discovered that the bugs drain their human victims' brains to acquire knowledge and power.

 RPG Vault: Starship Troopers Interview
Benedict Wilkins: It is a first-person shooter with the emphasis very much on action (and lots of it) rather than puzzle solving or stealth (although there are elements of both in some missions).
Our storyline is original, but some of the missions are based on episodes from the film - notably Whiskey Outpost and the first battle scene (the night battle Klendathu Drop).
We want the fan of the film to immediately feel at home in the game - so the troopers, the weapons, dropships - and even some of the classic film lines - should be instantly recognizable.

 UNIFORM
This is a unique original fl Medic cap worn by one of the medical staff aboard the Ticonderoga.
You can see a Medic wearing this style of cap during the Triage scene following the battle of Klendathu when Carmen and Zander return to the Ticonderoga and walk among the wounded.
The cap is fl rather than standard grey, and has an extra silver braid running around the front to distinguish it from the regular caps.

 IGN: Starship Troopers Preview
While sitting behind a wall hoping that your friendly troopers can help you hold off the tide of green and yellow assaulting the base could be pretty fun, the battle is also out among the rocky crags and deserts the bugs like to inhabit.
Along with the defend and escape mission, we were shown a nighttime mission as well, mimicking the invasion of Klendathu from the movie.
This level challenged the player to make his way through the lines of infantry dead and dying to the front where another group waited to push the attack forward.

There are only three shots of the Plasma bugs, which are seen in the Klendathu battle sequence: they move into position, take aim like pieces of artillery, and then fire."
Craig made sure they only had four, because we had so many Warriors to deal with; keeping the number of their legs down would give us a bit of an advantage.
[For the battle sequences on the planet's surface], we were dealing with a heavily textured landscape, so the footfall patterns, the shifting of weight and all of the physical attributes had to constantly be worked on and adjusted.

Althought at first, after the short introduction of Klendathu the movie slows down quite a bit during the high school part, but fortunately a few minutes later it gets speed again and don't lose it until basically the end of the show.
