An early [[Tactical Shooter]] using the ''[[Marathon (Video Game)Trilogy|Marathon]] 2'' engine that came out for PC and [[Apple Macintosh]] in 1997. Though obscure today, the game was one of the first [[First-Person Shooter|first person shooters]] that took place in a realistic modern military-based environment and was likely the first to have the player command a fire team of NPCs.
 
The game pitted the player as a [[Semper Fi|USMC]] Force Recon sergeant leading a fire team of U.S. Marines to deal with terrorist threats. Today the game is an example of abandonware and can be downloaded from several sites.
Line 33:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Banzai to a tee.
* [[Difficulty Spike]]: The game starts becoming very hard very fast on the fourth chapter.
* [[Do Not Run Withwith a Gun]]: Averted with the Marines in game; they can fire when moving, same as you can.
* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]: On the third campaign, do not bring Carnage or Ryan with you. They will become outraged at the mission and turn on you and the rest of the fireteam.}}
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Possible with the M9 pistols, the MP5N submachine guns, and [[Serial Escalation|shotguns.]] Also done by a few enemies in game.
Line 49:
* [[I Know Mortal Kombat]]: Implied with Vidiot; his dossier says that he blew through the training exercises for Damage Incorporated with the highest scores anyone had seen.
* [[Insufferable Genius]]: Terminus again.
* [[Kill It Withwith Fire]]: The flamethrower and any weapon that can use incendiary ammunition.
* [[Large Ham]]: Pretty much everybody.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: The Better Tomorrow Shocktroopers and the Robotank enemies.
Line 59:
* [[Poirot Speak]]: Frank, quite egregiously so.
* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]: Oh God, the White Paladins.
* [[Putting Onon the Reich]]: Definitely the Graziano-Fellini Ltd. Guards and A Better Tomorrow, who all wear uniforms reminiscent of those worn by the SS or other fascist organizations during WWII. The White Paladins are stated to be neo-Nazi like in the briefing, although they just seem to be the KKK on steroids in game save for a swastika-shaped topiary in one of their strongholds.
* [[Rare Guns]]: The shotgun in game appears to be a Stevens Model 77E, an obscure 12 gauge pump action shotgun used by South Vietnamese and US forces during the Vietnam War that went out of production long before the game was made. Why the developers chose this particular shotgun instead of the far more common Remington 870 or Mossberg 500 is unknown.
* [[Semper Fi]]: In spades.
