** While I agree it could have definitely been done better, Atlas seems to be a lot more than a PMC. Even in the main campaign they seem to have medical, normal transportation, and technology divisions. It would make a lot of sense, given the CEO's views, to try to have a presence in a lot of industries so they don't have to contract outside of Atlas for anything (or can at least keep sensitive stuff within the company).

* When Gideon and Mitchell meet up with Ilona in the maintenance room, she uses a scrambler so no one could detect them. Then, they are ambushed by Irons and Atlas MPs. How did Irons and his escorts know the meeting was going on if the scrambler was supposedly keeping them in the dark?

[[folder: The recording]]
* I wonder why Ilona, or the rest of Sentinel for that matter, didn't show the recording revealing the truth to other Atlas members. Assuming many Atlas operatives had family members that were victims of the KVA attacks, it would have led to Atlas' numbers lessening, more contractors defecting to Sentinel, or infighting within the company. It could've also led to Atlas being taken down legally.

*** North Korea have a long story of getting Western and South Korean illegaly. Also like the IRL version they could copied them afterwards.

[[folder:Atlas in Exo Zombies]]
* Atlas seems OutOfCharacter in Exo Zombies. They're supposed to be a private military company, yet, in EZ, they are portrayed more like a private ''civilian'' company. They have civilian security guards, despite having military police units that are seen often in the campaign. They've built an underwater vacation retreat, which doesn't really seem like something a company in the defense industry would do. Furthermore, despite having the largest army in the world and some of the strongest firepower (drones, walking tanks, and even a space station that can deploy an entire company of soldiers from orbit onto a certain location in minutes), they seem incapable of taking on a zombie outbreak in the United States. I take this as Raven following the typical MilitariesAreUseless tradition of zombie fiction, but it could've been done better.

** Exo suits have gloves built into them, that's how they can punch metal without breaking their hands. It's a it's a bit tough to see but you can see it in some shots.

** We do see the airships above the staging base outside New Baghdad just before the US assault. Maybe Atlas had too good air defences for them to get close enough to use their pods. After all they were dropping in an allied country at the start and North Korea probably doesn't have the same toys as Atlas.

* In ''Induction'', the Marines arrive over Seoul in massive airships, deployed to the ground in DropPods. These airships are promptly never seen again, and in fact, in ''Armada'', it seems the Navy is limited to ocean-bound ships. In ''Throttle'', our heroes insert into Baghdad via fighter jets, which badly stretches the suspension of disbelief regarding all the things these soldiers are trained to be able to do, especially given that otherwise this would serve as a sort of BookEnds for the first mission.
