Line 32:
* [[Broken Record]]: Rob Yescombe knows the secret keyboard command to write a death scene is control+v.
* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: Performed by Duvall on Merino, which finally pushes player character Shane into his [[Heel Face Turn]].
* [[Continue Your Mission, Dammit!]]: Extended to nobody ever shutting up unless you've killed them.
* [[Crapsack World]]: Shane states he was born during a time of political/economic collapse around most parts of the world, the situation was so bad that that the Olympics turned to Munich 2.0. [[Canon Dis Continuity|But only on the trailers]]. In the final game, Shane was living happily with his parents before dropping out of college and joining up because he saw some propaganda.
* [[Critical Annoyance]]: Only in the Mantel section of the game, though.
Line 71:
* [[Playing the Player]]: Unfortunately, it's given away on the back of the box. And in the manual. And if you wait more than ten seconds on the title screen. [[Captain Obvious|And by your fellow soldiers being evil]].
* [[Plot Hole]]: Given [[Executive Meddling|the plot was subjected to multiple forced rewrites]], this is unlikely to come as a shock. Grab-bag: invisible bodies nobody notices even though they're still there, Mantel soldiers calling for medics when they don't think they can be injured, being able to see enemies in a perfect world, Merino's peaceful village with a nuclear missile, and the lack of any explanation for Mantel's desire to corner the market on a drug they know kills people.
* [[Private Military Contractors]]: Mantel, but [[Informed Ability|not really]]: it seems to be acting on its own rather for a client, [[Law Enforcement, Inc.|and has apparently replaced]] [[NGO Superpower|the national armed forces]] [[Sci -Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale|of every country on the planet]].
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: The Mantel troopers in general.
* [[Psycho Serum]]: Nectar.
Line 78:
* [[Secondary Fire]]: Seemingly planned; the designs of the Rebel and Mantel assault rifles both include a large underbarrel structure that was likely intended to be a [[Grenade Launcher]].
* [[Set a Mook To Kill A Mook]]: Got a bunch of Mantel soldiers grouped together? Toss a nectar grenade into their ranks, and watch them kill each other, with the survivors usually blowing themselves up afterwards!
* [[Shout -Out]]: Mantel's troops are a lot like the [[Frisky Dingo|Xtacles]]. Boosh!
* [[Sound Effect Bleep]]: While the game isn't short on swearing including uncensored F-words, at one point Duvall's speech to a dying Rebel is censor-bleeped twice.
* [[Strawman Political]]: Yes.
