• Cult Classic: While not widely known outside the public eye, the series has a small but passionate following.
• Demonic Spiders:
  • Rhinos. Unless you manage a sneak attack from the side or behind, destroying Rhinos is tough. Their armor can withstand nearly six shots from a Goliath tank, even on Easy mode.
  • Inferno tanks have little health, but they move swiftly and can chew through your armor very quickly if they get too close.
  • Goliaths, in the first game anyway. Taking a Goliath head-on (without any special weapons) is borderline suicide because they can destroy your tank in just a few shots.
• "Funny Aneurysm" Moment: Griffin and Madison are in New York when the viral outbreak and nuclear war happen... in 2001. The only softening of the blow is that this game's events happen around May of that year, rather than September. If that's not bad enough, the devastated Manhattan is referred to as "Ground Zero" afterwards.
• Game Breaker:
  • The Nuclear Knights in the first game's multiplayer mode. They use Goliaths exclusively, and each one of them has a nuke onboard. The second game unsurprisingly replaced them with the "Cold Warriors", who have a more diverse (read: weaker) selection of tanks and only occasionally spawn with a Nuke.
  • The Psycho Brigade in the first game and Iron Maidens in the second get a more reasonable selection of tanks, but all spawn with Deflector Shields.
• Goddamned Bats:
  • Mototanks pose no threat whatsoever, but they move so fast that it's hard to destroy them without waiting for them to start getting shots off.
  • Rattlers are slightly tougher than Mototanks (and can't be crushed like them) in return for less damage dealt, but they are just as annoying.
  • Gun Buddies from the first game. A single one will barely put a dent in your armor, but they're constantly spammed throughout the levels. The Laser Gun Buddies, however, can seriously damage you and have lots of health.
• Most Annoying Sound: The sound of the mini-turrets from Global Assault. They pose very little threat, but you'll want to destroy them quickly just because the noise they emit will grate on your nerves.
• Most Wonderful Sound: NUKE DEPLOYED. *CLUNK* *CLUNK*
• Suspiciously Similar Song: The music for the "Fremont Street" stage in the first game sounds similar to ACDC's "TNT".
• Too Good to Last: 3DO, we hardly knew ye...
