Xmas Mayhem Community Gathering 2019 Interstellar Marines 2019-12-10 | Get Interstellar Marines on Steam: http://www.IMonSTEAM.comXmas Mayhem is now live and with it we've included our grenade prototypes. Regular Marines will get the default Christmas ornament-themed grenade that explodes into confetti (does not do damage at the moment). The TIM-101 gets the EMP grenade, which damages you and disables your suit's power. The grenade can be used by pressing and holding down 5, as if switching weapons. After throwing the grenade, you will return to the weapon you were holding previously.We've uploaded this live stream of our impromptu Xmas Mayhem community gathering with the team to get everyone into the holiday spirit! Other fun little changes: - At the end of a round of Xmas Mayhem, firework rockets scattered around the map will launch up and explode into confetti. - Spearhead owners get access to a partyblower, which makes a tooting/honking noise when you press the shift key. Keep in mind that blowing the partyblower does affect your stamina. FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME,Your team at Zero Point Software

Hell Week: Survival Wargame Teaser Interstellar Marines 2015-06-14 | Get Interstellar Marines on Steam: http://www.IMonSTEAM.comUpdate 19: Hell Week: Survival WargameIn Hell Week you will face 63 of your peers in a dog-eat-dog fight to hone your skills and find which of you are the best. Equipped only with a pistol and 15 rounds of taser ammunition you will ascend an elevator in a random zone along with 7 other Marines. You are free to move among the zones, although there is a hard limit of 16 allowed in any one zone at any time. Once the 16th Marine has entered a zone all others will be locked out until the number drops below 16 again. If you’re “killed,” you’re out of the exercise. So keep your head down and be on the lookout for targets of opportunity. You must eliminate the other Marines when possible, avoid elimination yourself, and collect weapons, ammo, and combat points from the map and backpacks of eliminated opponents. 30 minutes after the exercise begins ITO AI SARA will eliminate the 4 Marines with the fewest number of combat points every 5 minutes. This is not an exercise you will win by pitching a tent and hiding in the corner! Good luck Marines, you’ll need it!Full changelog available here: http://media.interstellarmarines.com/media/interstellarmarines_changelog.html FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME,Your team at Zero Point Software

Update 16: Assault on Starcrown Aerospace Interstellar Marines 2014-12-17 | Get Interstellar Marines on Steam: http://www.IMonSTEAM.comUpdate 16: Assault On Starcrown Aerospace! 2014 has been an incredible year for Interstellar Marines, and we want to say goodbye to it with a bang! So to make sure the holiday season is tons of fun, Update 16 includes a brand new campaign co-op map, a brand new multiplayer map AND something the community has been requesting for a long time: vastly improved hit detection. And last but not least, T-IM101 is back in Xmas Mayhem!Starcrown is a large, ambitious campaign co-op map where stealth and ingenuity are the keys to success. Your mission is to infiltrate and recover confidential development data from Starcrown Aerospace, whilst maintaining the integrity of your team. The second map we're introducing, Dynacore, is a wonderful winter-themed multiplayer map with many dynamic elements which ensure no two games are ever alike. Improved hit detection is something our community has requested many times. After a lot of work we've introduced a brand new type of hit detection which is extremely accurate - you will hit what you aim at with no need to lead. In testing this has transformed gameplay for us, and we hope it will do the same for you!One last major thing we've included is a very early version of our stats system. You can see your stats in the Profile tab in-game. We'll be working hard on this over the coming several months to improve both the presentation and the type and variety of stats we will have. Please keep in mind we will have to reset the stats from time to time as we improve them.Version: 0.5.16Released: 17th December, 2014What's NewADDED: New Co-Op Mission Map: Assault On Starcrown AerospaceADDED: New Dynamic Multiplayer Map based on the Astrodome framework: DynacoreADDED: Revive 2.0 to Multiplayer and Co-opADDED: First iteration of Stats viewable through the Profile tab.
