History VideoGame / ResidentEvilOperationRaccoonCity

''Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City'' is a ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' spinoff developed by Slant Six Games (best known for the ''SOCOM'' series) that was released for the Platform/{{PlayStation 3}}, Platform/{{Xbox 360}} and PC in 2012. ''Operation Raccoon City'' is a third-person shooting game set in an alternate timeline retelling of the Raccoon City Incident that transpired during the events of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis''. In the main campaign, the player controls a member of the Umbrella Security Service's elite "Wolfpack" unit, assigned to assist HUNK retrieving the G-Virus from William Birkin. As in the main timeline, this goes badly. Blamed for the resulting outbreak, the Wolfpack must face not only the hordes of mutated creatures that have infested the city, but also remove any evidence of Umbrella's involvement, be it by destroying records or eliminating witnesses. [[AnotherSideAnotherStory Alternatively, the DLC campaign lets you join Echo Six]], a US Special Forces team sent to Raccoon City to locate survivors and investigate what caused the outbreak.

** The Heckler & Koch VP70 is the "Matilda".

** The Heckler & Koch HK416 is named "Hammer".

*** The name of the level (The Places We're Meant to Die), the location of the fight, and the name of the deployed railgun being the same implies that Echo Six was, or is at least taking the place of the team whose remains Jill comes across.
** Characters will speak if left idle long enough. Vector's line is "This is just like [[VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica Rockfort Island]]." Rockfort is where HUNK trained, and Vector's back-story has him personally trained by HUNK.
* CrazyPrepared: Nicolai apparently took the time to strap explosives onto several dozen zombies, as well as to rig a few city blocks with explosives, just for the chance occurance that he'd stumble upon an Umbrella special forces team that he'd like to troll.

* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: As long as your allies are alive, your character can be brought back from the dead. This even works if said character was zombified, dismembered and [[ChunkySalsaRule had their head completely blown apart]]. Anyone who has died will also be brought back to life when at least one player reaches a checkpoint.

* DomesticAbuse: Lupo was in a abusive relationship for a long while. Her military discipline allowed her to tolerate it for the sake of the kids. Until her abusive husband put his hand on their kids, and she ended the abuse...''with her bare hands''.
* EliteZombie: The [=B.O.W.s=]. For further disambigulation:

* DarkChick: Bertha, the first female squad member to be revealed, has the non-combat role of a medic, and is dressed somewhat like a dominatrix. Four-Eyes is a field scientist, with the ability to temporarily turn [=B.O.W.s=] friendly, and Lupo is the team's fiercely protective leader.

** The generic U.S Special Forces Wolfpack encounters don't wear helmets either, wearing either patrol caps or balaclavas. The U.S.S mooks the Spec Ops encounter on the other hand almost exclusively wear helmets.

* AnAxeToGrind: Lupo's melee weapon of choice is a tactical tomahawk.

* InvisibilityCloak: Vector has one of these, too.

* [[HerrDoktor Frau Doktor]]: Bertha.

* GenderBlenderName: Yes, "Lupo" is the italian for Wolf. ''Male'' wolf, that is. The female form would have been "Lupa".

* HeelFaceTurn: You can do this at the end of the main campaign if you decide [[spoiler: to protect Leon instead of kill him.]]
* HeroAntagonist: Throughout the later parts of the game, you chase [[spoiler: Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong down for the sole purpose of killing them; while Ada appears to die, possibly from fighting the Tyrant or from damage sustained from fighting Wolfpack (it's left unclear), you have the choice of either killing or defending Leon at the climax of the game; should they choose to execute him, they also kill Claire Redfield.]]

* RetGone: Before release, the game was advertised as allowing you to radically alter the ''RE'' canon by killing key characters. In-game, however, [[spoiler: you can only select to kill Leon and Claire for Umbrella at the very end of the game, with no other chances to change canon and no look at the long-term effects.]]

* GodzillaThreshold: [[{{BFG}} The Paracelsus]] [[UpToEleven Rail Gun]]. Though Spec Ops command wasn't really holding out, they didn't drop it until Spec Ops faced a horde of Tyrants and Super Tyrants. In all fairness, it would be utterly over-kill otherwise.

* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn]]: [[spoiler: At the end of the game, half the Wolfpack betrays Umbrella to protect Sherry, Leon, and Claire. You decide which side you're on]].
** [[spoiler: [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal Help Face Turn]]]]: [[spoiler: being ruthless sociopaths, the only reason the two Wolfpack members do this is because Umbrella has been constantly insulting them and stabbing them in the back for the past few days.]]

* RealityEnsues: For all of USS Commands BadBoss tendency, stabbing Wolfpack right in the back and leaving them for dead isn't really a good idea and it certainly won't buy him any loyalty; especially when they're hired guns and [[spoiler: if all four players decided to protect Leon fighting waves after waves of USS Commandos, then it becomes very much apparent that Wolfpack really had enough of the USS Commands screwing them over numerous of times and has gone privy to his double-crossing antics.]]
