* CanadaEh

* HumongousMecha - Handled realistically. The King Oni and Riese units are primarily meant for psychological warfare (seriously, seeing a hulking mountain of steel bristling with cannons and rocket pods headed toward your already-battered squad is terrifying). It's AwesomeYetImpractical - They're capable of holding their own against mechanized armor, but they're huge targets, their legs are weak (and are ultimately their doing-in), they're vulnerable to hi-jacking, they're slow (compared to an Abrams or Scorpion tank or T-90), and they're exorbitantly expensive. Even Hitler who loved the ridiculous Maus tanks (and so on) hates the designs and cost. And they're not really any better than Anime/{{Patlabor}} mecha, except for the VideoGame/MetalGear REX ersatz.

* SchizoTech - Think of it as a mish-mash of the 2020s and TheNineties. Only PMCs and CBR have high-tech stuff that wouldn't be out of place in VideoGame/MetalGear or a Ghost Recon game, but the average US Army grunt is as decked out as a soldier in Gulf War Two, aside from somewhat better armor and Land Warrior that actually works. Cybernetic implants are present, but only the best can afford effective combat replacements and they're very unwieldy otherwise. What few satellites are up tend to be intercepted by lasers, or have been destroyed (the Nazis threw up an orbital denial debris field), and both sides constantly run UAVs and spy planes to make up for it. You also have laser weaponry, but few and far between - Primetime carries a laser rifle straight out of a StarWars film and an automated turret. It's AwesomeButImpractical.

* CaptainErsatz - Not Kaname from LightNovel/FullMetalPanic. WE PROMISE.

*** A few Rumblers are actual {{Captain Ersatz}}es. Example: SILENCE is [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic Kaname Chidori.]]

* CaptainErsatz: Not [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4 Raging Raven.]]

* AlternateHistory - The technology level is akin to Franchise/MetalGear, with modern day vehicles and weapons used alongside soldiers in full body armor rating at Class V and beyond, and there are mechs. albeit crappy.

* CaptainErsatz - All of ASB wears armor inspired by other games. Example: Primetime wears [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4 Octocamo, SILENCE wears FROG Trooper gear]], and so on.

** [[Wiki/SCPFoundation Special Containment/Procurement Mobile Task Force]]. No one really knows what exactly they are or who they belong to, and they're not exactly pleased at the fact they're out in the open instead of waging black ops war. [[{{Clef}} Lead by some weird guy who keeps grinning]], and one of their more famous operatives is a guy codenamed Baker-Able-76, who's overly fond of blades and chainsaws.

** [[Wiki/TVTropes Tango Victor Tango.]]

* KnifeNut - Actually subverted. He wields a damascus sword and crafts his own blades, but he never uses it in place of his assault rifle unless the very rare situation calls for it.
