getting started

legend of the rogue trooper

Nu Earth is a hellish, nightmare planet ravaged by war.
The planet’s atmosphere is deadly to inhale, devoid of life,
and poisoned by repeated chemical attacks.

But the planet is close to a vital wormhole in space, a fact
that has dragged its two rival factions — the Norts and
the Southers — into a never-ending war. Now Nu Earth is
a toxic, hell-blasted rock where millions of soldiers
in bio-suits wage bloody battles and die by the millions.
Nu Earth is too important to lose. Not an inch of ground
can be lost!

Here is where the legend of ROGUE TROOPER was born.
Created by Souther forces, ROGUE TROOPER is the sole
surviving example of the Genetic Infantrymen: a regiment
of soldiers grown in vats and bio-engineered to be the
perfect killing machines.

Complete with protective blue skin and the ability
to breathe the venomous atmosphere, the Genetic
Infantrymen (GI) became renowned figures on both sides
of the conflict.

Moreover, the mind and soul of the GI could be
downloaded onto a silicone chip in case of a mortal wound
on the battlefield. Once downloaded, the bio-chip could
then be slotted into special equipment and preserved
until the soldier could grace a newly grown body.

Betrayed by a general in their own high command, almost
the entire regiment of GIs were wiped out in the Quartz
Zone Massacre. The sole survivor managed to save just
three bio-chips from his former comrades and slot them
into his gun, helmet and back pack.

Now he is a loner with just the disembodied personalities
of his comrades for company...

...roaming the chemical wasteland in search of revenge...
...the ROGUE TROOPER!

GI RIFLE

Specialized troops require specialized equipment, and Genetic
Infantrymen are equipped with the most versatile weapon on
Nu Earth — the GI rifle.

SCOPE

Turning the GI rifle into a precision
sniper rifle is as simple as putting
the scope to your eye. Automatic
sensors detect and load the high-caliber armor-piercing rounds.
To ensure the shot is held steady, a gyro-stabilizer is available.

UNIVERSAL ADAPTOR ATTACHMENTS

Under the main barrel of the GI rifle lies the Universal Adaptor,
the key to its supremacy in battle. The UA allows a multitude
of secondary weapons to be attached and activated
at the press of a key.

SHOTGUN

Designed for close encounters with multiple enemies,
the shotgun attachment sprays high-velocity pellets
out in a cone-shaped array.

FRAGMENT MORTAR

A medium-range cluster weapon. The mortar fires
out in a spreading array towards its target, bursting
into fragments at the top of its flight arc. Each fragment then rains
down and detonates on impact, creating a widespread blanket
of damage.

SAMMY LAUNCHER

A medium-to-long range missile weapon,
the Sammy works by first acquiring a lock on the target’s heat
signature, then using that to home in. Once locked-on, a Sammy
cannot be shaken.

BEAM RIFLE

A close-range electrical weapon, daisy-chaining
to any nearby target.

EMPLACEMENT & HEAVY DUTY
WEAPONS

MACHINE GUN

Good rate of fire but prone

to overheating.

FLAK CANNON

Designed for taking down aerial

threats, the flak cannon fires a fast-moving projectile that

detonates either on impact or at a preset altitude,

creating a cloud of debris that damages anything
flying nearby.

HELL CANNON

Large fireball plasma bolt used

for distant attacks against large battalions.

LAZOOKA

A large-targeted mortar, the lazooka round slowly
climbs to its desired altitude, then quickly homes in on its
target, causing massive damage.

GRENADES & EXPLOSIVES

GRENADES

Press F to quickly throw a grenade. For
a more accurate throw, press and hold F and then
press W, A, S or D to move the aiming arc. Press F again or click
the left mouse button to throw the grenade, or press Esc to cancel.

E

Press Q to drop a micro-mine. You can also project

ITEMS

MEDI-PAK

Press B to use a medi-pak to regenerate Rogue’s
health. A health boost from Bagman restores 50%
of Rogue’s health: 20% immediately with an additional
30% (up to full) over time.

From the vicious rogue nations of Nordland comes the Nort Army,
made up of small, highly skilled teams, each with a sergeant
and a small number of deadly infantry.

NORT TROOPS

SERGEANT

Co-ordinating each team, the Sergeant
hangs back in a battle, initiating full
engagement only if his team is compromised.
With better armor and a more powerful weapon
than the Infantryman, the Sergeant poses
a significant threat.

INFANTRYMAN

He is the grunt of the Nordland Army, outfitted with
a basic breathing apparatus commonly known to
explode when pierced. Because the Infantryman is
saddled with a visor that barely allows visibility and
a weapon that often jams when fired, it’s possible
to believe that the Nordland Generals almost want
their infantry to die.

16

multiplayer mode

saving

NORT VEHICLES

HOPPA

Since Nu Earth is a large planet,
it takes advanced technology to
efficiently move troops around it.
Flying vehicles known as Hoppas are
used to get extra troops quickly to the front
line. Artillery-based flying vehicles are also rumored to exist.

DRILL PROBE

Treating its troops kindly is
not something the Nordland
Army does well. The best
example of this is the Drill
Probe. Essentially a small
metallic chamber with a large
drill on the front, these
“vehicles” are used to deploy
troops behind enemy lines.
The drill erupts from the
ground, then protects emerging troops with machine gun
blisters. Once the troops are deployed, the driver drills the
probe back underground to collect another team.

ROGUE TROOPER

uses a profile system that allows multiple
gamers to play the game at their own pace on the same system.
Game progress is saved to the user’s currently active profile

E

When you complete a Single Player campaign, the game
automatically saves the current progress to the relevant profile

E

When you return to the Single Player Main Menu, you can select

Continue Game

to resume at the last checkpoint you reached

in that level.

Multiplayer mode lets you experience the Quartz Zone Massacre
from a different perspective: that of the GIs who didn’t make it.
The basic game is the same whether it’s played online or over
a Local Area Network (LAN). Five arenas are available, which fall
into either the Stronghold or the Progressive category.

When the timer hits zero, expired players respawn via a drop pod.

Progressive maps show several landing zones. Respawning players
land at the nearest secure zone.

OBJECTIVES

Each map has a preset overall objective: it could be defending
ground for a set amount of time on Stronghold maps, or gaining a

SCORING

All actions gain points. The highest scores per map are stored
in the currently active profile.

try really hard to get you the right
answer as quickly as possible.
Weekdays, excluding holidays,
during the hours when the phones
