Like the film, Starship Troopers puts players in the boots of a "marauder," an elite member of the Mobile Infantry (MI), a futuristic unit that served as the template for Halo's Orbital Drop Shock Troops (ODSTs).

The game will pick up five years after the events of the movie and will feature the voice talent of the film's star, Casper Van Dien.
