* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: Stick Mechs. Double Doubles. Twig legs. That's all you EVER encounter online. Unfortunately for them, those Stick Legs would crumble if hit with mines, bombs, melee javelins, and [[KillItWithFire incendiaries.]]
* ViolationOfCommonSense: Placing armor plates right ''in front'' of cockpit, blocking the window.
* PlayerPunch: Sniper Campaign, Final Mission, many a player has gone on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge to kill that Hound [[spoiler: that kills Jayrus.]]
* {{Scrub}}: May Ceiling Cat have mercy on your soul if you build a fire-equipped Heavy Gunner, since these are the natural counter to Stick Mechs and the "real players" don't like having to deal with that.
* SpiritualSuccessor:
** ''VideoGame/ArmoredCore'' ''5'' is this with some gameplay of ''VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos'' thrown in.
** ''[[https://bombdogstudios.com/ M.A.V.: Modular Assault Vehicle]]'' is a more faithful one, adhering extremely closely to the original ''Chromehounds'' gameplay experience.
