Line 26:
* Mattias Nilsson: In the first game, a cold motherfucker who shows very little emotion while slaughtering hundreds. In the sequel, he had a bit of [[Flanderization]] and turned into the [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]] to end them all. A Swede with a Mohawk and handlebar mustache who seems to dedicate his every waking moment to bigger and bigger explosions and just generally raising hell. In the original, he was faster than the other mercs - in the sequel, he regenerates faster. Voiced by [[Peter Stormare]].
* Jennifer Mui: A sleek British lady who enjoys money, luxurious bubble baths, money, fine wine, money, fast cars, [[Department of Redundancy Department|money]], snapping necks, and [[Overly Long Gag|money]]. Specializes in stealth in the original, speed in the sequel. Voiced by [[Jennifer Hale]].
* Christopher Jacobs: [[Scary Black Man]] and all around [[Badass]]. Is also [[Hidden Depths|something of a disillusioned idealist]]. Was tougher than the other mercs in the original, but traded that for a larger ammo supply in the sequel. Voiced by [[Phil
* Fiona Taylor: The [[Voice

Line 83:
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: The sequel had a number of areas that could've used more playtesting; one notable example is in a mission where you have to rescue a hostage held on top of a skyscraper. Oftentimes, as soon as the player enters the hostage's line of sight, the hostage will run towards them. Even if they're in a helicopter, and running towards them leads the hostage off of the skyscraper.
** When you're in a particularly desperate spot, sometimes the game will simply jam your HP at 10 and refuse to register any further hits on the player. Even worse, you'll be permanently subjected to the 'concussion' [[Interface Screw]] effects of a pulsing screen and a 'wub wub wub wub wub' noise.
** After March 17, the sequel no longer plays if you have an internet connection. This is true on [[
* [[Genre Savvy]]: By the second game, nearly everyone is aware that ''you'' are the person to turn to to pull off impossible tasks that no one person would ever be sane enough to do. The enemies are also [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]; while fighting the Chinese, for example, the troops calling for reinforcements will outright say that they ''need'' armor support, because you ''will'' wipe out their infantry. Also, General Carmona waits until {{spoiler|you're trying to take out Solano before he attacks the PMC.}}
* [[Grappling Hook Pistol]]: Added to the mercs' bag of tricks in ''World in Flames''.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Jennifer Hale]] ([[Metal Gear|Naomi]], [[Mass Effect|Fem!Shep]]) plays Jen Mui, Peter Stormare (Hollywood's choice for anyone of [[Fake Nationality|vague European background]]) plays Mattias, and [[Phil
** One of your contacts in the second game, a [[Crazy Awesome|''female'']] contact, is known for bragging about having the biggest balls in [[Saints Row|Stillwater]].
** In the Spanish version, Mattias is [[The Simpsons|Homer Simpson]].
Line 133:
** Also notable in that the if the player completes bonus objectives on a particular mission, the [[Mafiya]] gets its hands on Frog-7 missiles.
** Something worth noting is that being on best terms with the Mob in the first game also reduces shop prices at the Merchant of Menace. Besides, Yosef is a cool guy. His [[Obfuscating Stupidity|stupid boss]], not so much.
* [[Shot in
* [[Shout-Out]]: The first game featured several to Star Wars and Indiana Jones, as it was published by [[Lucas Arts]]. From the burnt out CIA agent wishing he had an Imperial Star Destroyer to a news report that throws fuel on the [[The Dog Shot First|Han shoots first pissing contest]].
** You ''could play'' as Indy or Han Solo by means of cheats, given to you by way of [[Scavenger Hunt]].
Line 161:
** She doesn't comment if you ''nuke your own base'', oddly.
*** Probably because she was inside at the time of said nuking.
* [[Voice
** And she has skillz. Yes, with a ''zed''. In her own words.
* [[Walk It Off]]: Moreso in the sequel - in the original, there was a cap to your regeneration. In the sequel, there isn't, but after a certain point, regeneration slows enough to leave you wanting a medpack instead of relying on regeneration.
