Why can't bugs climb walls/why are the not more walled missions?

[The Coal Man]

Just watched starship troopers for the first time and that is like 1/3 of the movie? I'm not exactly sure of the relationship between this and the movie series but "heavily inspired by" feels accurate. Can we get some walls and then some bugs climbing them? Honestly Spacemarine 2 does the swarm mechanics better, I want my grenades to count vs those world war z piles. Everything here is very 2d which doesnt make much sense since the bugs are popping up holes everywhere from "below ground".

0%, it is not related. "Inspired by" is accurate.
There's an actual Starship Troopers game available.

They kind of do, AH made it so that they just randomly teleport or no-clip through a piece of geometry that you're on top of, but they continue to claim that they want realism... sure thing.

...does phasing thru walls count?

Yeah lol, I was gonna say, they can't climb through walls, but they can move through them somehow. Consolation prize?
