== This game provides examples of: ==
* [[AKA 47]]: An odd example; almost all the weapons are modelled after one weapon but named after a different but similar weapon. So Hayden's Heckler & Koch Mark 23 is called the "Tekna 9mm" after the Russian SR-1 Vektor pistol, the "Vekesk Micro" is a Klin PP-9 named after the SR-3 Veresk submachine gun, the Hammer 1895 is a Webley Mark IV named after the Nagant Model 1895, and so on. The only exceptions are the AK and RPG-7.
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: The Trooper Gun. Also the magnum and sniper rifle; they both draw from an absolutely tiny pool of rare ammo.
Line 35:
* [[Guns Do Not Work That Way]]: Hayden's "Tekna 9mm" and "Tekna Burst" have "Cal .45 Auto" stamped on the slide.
** "Ok, how about the C4?" "For Yargo, I'll give the Semtex..." Erm...Semtex is not C4, guy.
* [[The HerosHero's Journey]]: Referenced directly and played straight.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: [[Smallville|Lex Luthor]] as Hayden, [[The A-Team (TV)|Murdock]] (or [[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|Barclay]]) as Mezner and The AD, Jurgen Prochnow using the "foreign actor" rule to play Yargo, [[Dirge of Cerberus|Blue the Blue]] as the shopkeeper, and [[Nolan North]] is in there somewhere. [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0003925/ Nadia is a muppet].
* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: Averted, you can see exactly what weapons Hayden is carrying, aside from grenades. Additionally, you can carry at maximum three guns, and you have to drop the third to switch back to any of the other two.
* [[Impossibly Cool Weapon]]
Line 64:
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Initially announced in 2000 as a ''[[Unreal Tournament (Video Game)|Unreal Tournament]]'' [[Spiritual Successor]]. Then in 2004 it morphed into into [http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2005-dark-sector/6066 a sci-fi stealth-oriented third person shooter set in outer space], and then ''again'' in 2006 into what we have today.
** In addition, the 2004 version would had involved a transforming suit.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: You know that guy Viktor Sudek that you dropped the demolition charge in the lap of? He's Nadia's father. The script totally forgets to make anything out of this or even mention it.
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|As well as the obvious part that Hayden's infection was part of the plan all along (which most people guessed because it's ''always'' part of the plan) despite that it took a ludicrous chain of events including a blind leap off the side of a building to bring it about, for reasons that are entirely unclear, The AD's plan involves trying to kill Hayden with an Enferon-spiked booster shot and it not working. He didn't seem to have a "Hayden stabs me in the neck for being a fucking idiot" contingency, however.}}
** {{spoiler|Yargo's the one who spiked the boosters with Enferon, to stop Hayden from completely losing it, like Mezner did. The AD's plan was apparently to turn Hayden into another Mezner. But otherwise, yeah, his master plan doesn't make much sense at all other than being a dick for its own sake.}}
