History VideoGame / DamageIncorporated

* DifficultySpike: The game starts becoming very hard very fast on the fourth chapter.

* GoddamnedBats: The Shocktroopers. Not only do they either dual wield [=MP5=] submachine guns or carry a SMAW rocket launcher, but they're also extremely aggressive, are crack shots, and wear heavy body armor that makes them nearly impervious to smaller caliber firearms (unless loaded with armor piercing or other special ammo). Throughout most of the game they show up as Elite Mooks, but during the last chapter you'll be facing them and the Robotanks and gun turrets exclusively in very unforgiving terrain. Hope your squad commanding skills are up to task.

** The hand grenades used in game, the [=Mk2=], is a [[WorldWarII WWII]] era handgrenade that was phased out of US military service back in the 1960s.
** The combat knife appears to be the bayonet to an [=L85=] assault rifle, a weapon that has never been used by the USMC. Why the combat knife doesn't resemble an iconic USMC Ka-Bar knife or the M9 bayonet for the M16 is unknown.

* GlassCannon: The Minute Militia enemies. Slow and weak, but carry powerful weaponry.

* HeroicBSOD: Can happen to some Marines.

* AwesomeButPractical: The M16 assault rifle. You start out with it and it's easily one of, if not the, best all-around weapon in the game.

Not to be confused with Damage Inc., a MarvelComics company that repairs damage caused by superhero battles.

Of particular note is that the creator of ''Damage Incorporated'', Richard Rouse, is also the project head and writer of the upcoming ''{{Rainbow Six}} Patriots'', a video game with a very similar premise.

* PuttingOnTheReich: Definitely the Graziano-Fellini Ltd. Guards and A Better Tomorrow, who all wear uniforms reminiscent of those worn by the SS or other fascist organizations during WWII. The White Paladins are stated to be neo-Nazi like in the briefing, although they just seem to be the KKK on steroids in game save for a swastika-shaped topiary in one of their strongholds.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Oh God, the White Paladins.

* Expy: Duke is an obvious one of JohnWayne

* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: Unfortunately, and to be expected in a game developed before the internet was commonly used for research, this shows up plenty of times in regards to the US Marine Corps and in weaponry. For example:

** The "M9 handgun" is actually a Beretta 92SB, an older model than the Beretta 92FS that the M9 pistol is based on.
** The M16A2 in game appears to be an M16A1 according to the weapon in hand sprites and its full auto trigger group. Although the M16A2 in the player's hands has an M203 grenade launcher mounted on it, it is invisible when the player wields it. The M203 is however, visible on the M16A2s wielded by the Minute Militia enemies.
** The MP5 in game is supposedly an MP5N/MP5A3 and looks like one when on the ground or in the hands of anyone except for you, much the same as the M16A2. Then it turns into a hybrid between and MP5N and a MP5K. The rear sights are all wrong, too.
** The SMAW rocket launcher in game has a tremendous amount of recoil, although due to their design, shoulder fired rockets have no recoil.
** The hand grenades used in game, the Mk2, is a WWII era handgrenade that was phased out of US military service back in the 1960s.
** The combat knife appears to be the bayonet to an L85 assault rifle, a weapon that has never been used by the USMC. Why the combat knife doesn't resemble an iconic USMC Ka-Bar knife or the M9 bayonet for the M16 is unknown.

* DualWielding: Possible with the M9 pistols, the MP5N submachine guns, and [[SerialEscalation shotguns.]] Also done by a few enemies in game.

An early TacticalShooter using the ''{{Marathon}} 2'' engine that came out for PC and AppleMacintosh in 1997. Though obscure today, the game was one of the first {{first person shooter}}s that took place in a realistic modern military-based environment and was likely the first to have the player command a fire team of [=NPCs=].

* DualWielding: Possible with the M9 pistols, the MP5N submachine guns, and [[BeyondTheImpossible shotguns.]] Also done by a few enemies in game.

Of particular note is that the creator of ''Damage Incorporated'', Richard Rouse, is also the project head and writer of the upcoming ''Rainbow Six Patriots'', a video game with a very similar premise.
