Line 15:
As you may imagine there are many tropes applied to this game, so it's ordered in 5 folders, one for the game itself, three for the factions and one for the Mercenaries.
 
{{examples|Examples:}}
 
== Act of War ==
Line 49:
* [[Units Not to Scale]]: Mostly subverted, while the soldiers are a bit out of scale with some of the vehicles most of the things keep a very realistic proportion, this is well noticed in urban combat, where the infantry can be seen inside the structure and and fire through the windows.
* [[Weapon of Mass Destruction]]: Every faction has one of this, ''and their counter system''.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: So, about that world oil crisis that triggered the plot...?
** It does receive a brief [[Hand Wave]] about the Egyptian oil fields being the most potent ones discovered yet, but that is it
** Also, we hear that the Consortium took over Cuba in the expansion, but that plot goes nowhere once the the TFT leaves the country.
Line 62:
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: The MLRS is all about this, and ''you will hate it'' when the computer uses it, on the other hand, you can use it too.
* [[Power Nullifier]]: The EFV.
* [[Power -Up]]: The EFV again.
* [[Semper Fi]]: Ironically, the basic infantry for the U.S. Army are Marines.
* [[Superior Firepower Bombers]]: US Army have access to the B-2A Spirit.
Line 68:
 
== Task Force Talon ==
* [[Armor -Piercing Attack]]: The Heavy Sniper rifle, which is logical if you consider it's bullets dont just deal massive damage to infantry units but also to vehicles.
* [[Attack Drone]]: TFT loves this trope, they have construction drones, tank drones with suicide bomber drones, air drones and even mine drones, and of course we cant forget the Spanner drone, which launches a Titan cruise missile, which can be controlled by the player and has no range limit.
* [[Awesome Personnel Carrier]]: The Stryker deserves a special mention, since you can upgrade it become a mortar platform or an antitank unit.
