History VideoGame / RogueCompany

* {{Crossover}}: As with VideoGame/{{Paladins}}, the start of 2022 began with a crossover skin for Seeker than turns them into...[[Film/Rambo]], of all things.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Played with. Averted in that the game goes out of its way to use key commands other games have standardized for specific actions, such as Q being used for abilities (Like in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}''), the scroll wheel for changing weapons (as in ''VideoGame/CounterStrike''), Middle-mouse button for Pinging locations (as in ''VideoGame/ApexLegends''), while the interact key is F (as is standard in games like ''VideoGame/PAYDAY2''). Played straight when it comes to Crouching (it's C instead of Left Shift), while the Emote Wheel is Z, not G (as it is in ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}'').

The gameplay borrows elements from the ''VideoGame/CounterStrike'' series, and there are so far two online game modes in the game:

* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Averted. Combat rolling is very useful for getting out of bad situations or even winning gunfights.

* StickyBomb: Semtex Grenades.

** Current maps: High Castle, Skyfell, Favelas, Windward, Canals, and Icarus.

** Current maps: Skyfell, Favelas, Windward, Icarus, Canals, and Factory.

* RealSongThemeTune: Character selection uses an instrumental of "Legend Has It" by Music/RunTheJewels. The menu music, meanwhile, uses an instrumental of "Thursday in the Danger Room", also by [=RTJ=].

* RealSongThemeTune: Character selection uses an instrumental of "Legend Had It" by Music/RunTheJewels.

* RealLifeThemeTune: Character selection uses an instrumental of "Legend Had It" by Music/RunTheJewels.

Also worth noting is that unlike it's immediate competition being locked to PC play, ''Rogue Company'' offers cross-platform play and progression between all four versions of the game from launch, similar to ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2019 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]''; and First Watch are making sure to keep all four versions performing as close to one another as possible.

The game has released into a closed beta, which began on July 20th, 2020 for UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation 4}}, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, and the PC (via the Epic Games Store initially), with various "Founders pack" editions offered to give the player some help getting into the game.

* '''Strikeout:''' Control an objective or kill enemies to reduce their remaining team lives.

''Rogue Company'' sets itself apart from ''VideoGame/CounterStrike'' by adding HeroShooter elements to the game. The Rogues are unique characters who bring their own weaspons and unique ability to the table, which shakes up any given match a player has. Like in ''Counter-Strike'', the player's weapons and equipment are all bought in a store menu, as well as perks (such as reloading while sprinting and healing downed teammates faster) adding an economy management layer to the game, though which guns and perks you get varies on which rogue you choose.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The game seems to take place in the near future, where jetgliders are commonplace, and guns are futuristic, but the world looks to be similar to our own.

* BoomHeadshot: A Headshot is a good way to do increased damage against opponents.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Played With. Averted in that the game goes out of its way to use key commands other games have standardized for specific actions, such as Q being used for abilities (Like in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}''), the scroll wheel for changing weapons (as in ''VideoGame/CounterStrike''), Middle-mouse button for Pinging locations (as in ''VideoGame/ApexLegends''), while the interact key is F (as is standard in games like ''VideoGame/PAYDAY2''). Played straight when it comes to Crouching (it's C instead of Left Shift), while the Emote Wheel is Z, not G (as it is in ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}'').

* GunPorn: At present, there's about 18 unique weapons of varying types (shotguns, carbines, pistols and One [=LMG=]).

* '''Demolition:''' Alpha's needs to plant the Bomb, the Bravo's needs to defend those sites and stop the enemy team. First to win seven rounds is the winner.
** Current Maps High Castle, Skyfell, Faveles, Windward, Canals, and Icarus.
* '''Strikeout:''' Control an objective or kill enemies to reduce their remaining team lives.
** Current Maps are as follows: Skyfell, Faveles, Windward, Icarus, Canals, and Factory.

* RegeneratingHealth: Going out of combat for eight seconds allows you to regenerate health slowly.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Anvil carries a mechanized deployable 3-panel shield.

* Instant-Win Condition: A Demolition match is won when either the Alpha's have their bomb reach detonation, even if there's still enemies remaining. On the other hand, the Bravo's instantly win if they defuse a planted bomb, regardless of if there are more enemies remaining. Time out will result in Bravo's winning.

* HoldTheLine: The goal of Alpha in Demolition (Bomb Defusal) matches is to protect two bomb-sites from the Bravo's. Conversely, once the bomb has been planted, the roles switch: the Bravo's need to defend the bomb-site from the assaulting CT's so they can't just waltz in and defuse with impunity.

* '''Demolition:''' One team needs to plant the Bomb, the other team needs to defend those sites and stop the enemy team. First to win seven rounds wins. Current Maps are as follows: High Castle, Skyfell, Faveles, Windward, Canals, and Icarus.
* '''Strikeout:''' Control an objective or kill enemies to reduce their remaining team lives. Current Maps are as follows: Skyfell, Faveles, Windward, Icarus, Canals, and Factory.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The game seems to take place in the near future.
* AKA47: No weapon in-game shares it's name with any real-world counterpart. The Jury Rigged gun from the release trailer looks a lot like the gun used by Cable in ''Film/Deadpool2'', so this should give you an indication of most of the gun designs in the game. And for the ones that are based on real guns, The AK-47 is named the KA-30 in-game.
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Played With. Averted in that the game goes out of its way to use key commands other games have standardized for specific actions, such as Q being used for abilities (Like in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}''), the scroll wheel for changing weapons (as in ''VideoGame/CounterStrike''), Pinging locations (as in ''VideoGame/ApexLegends''), while the interact key is F (as is standard in games like ''VideoGame/PAYDAY2'').

* HeroShooter: Much like [[VideoGame/{{Paladins}} that other game]] Hi-Rez worked on, you have a game with a cast of unique characters with special abilities.
