Obvious Beta is YMMV. Cleanup: (re)moving wick from trope/work example lists


* GameBreakingBug: Frequently a subject of derision, especially prevalent in Season 4 with the switch to ''Battlefield 4'' and its [[ObviousBeta notoriously bug-riddled multiplayer]]. In fact, this is the entire premise of the premier episode "Brokenfield". This returns again when the series focus on ''Battlefield 2042'', with various bugs referenced in the episode "Worst Launch Ever".

* WeaponOfChoice: The crew uses weapons associated with their respective classes, and due to the LimitedAnimation style, seem to use the same weapons in almost all the episodes. Early episodes in Seasons 1 to 3 seem to regularly depict the team using [=M4A1s=], despite the carbine not being an all-class weapon in ''Battlefield 3'', but in ''Battlefield 4'', they sometimes use carbines as it is available to all classes in that game. The Beretta [=M9=] appears to be their sidearms of choice throughout the series, though Recon has once been seen with a customized version of the [=G17=] in "Scavenger" and sometimes characters are armed with the [=.38 Snub=] revolver in ''[=Hardline=]''.

* AngryBlackMan: During "[=BF1=] Hype Train", Medic is, rather justifiably, extremely cross with Simon's roleplay of a Confederate soldier when the latter confuses UsefulNotes/WorldWarI with the UsefulNotes/AmericanCivilWar.

* InstantKarma: In the episode "Missile Truck", Medic steals Noob's missile truck as the latter was ineffectively using it inside a building (as leaving the building would [[TemptingFate have the enemy team instantly target and destroy it]]). Upon leaving the building to use the missile truck, a tank instantly destroys the missile truck along with Medic, to Noob's vindication.

** In "Hardline RPG", Engineer temporarily breaks from his high on overpowered weapon when Ammo Guy and Recon reveal that a RPG one-shot kills even fully upgraded vehicle, with Engineer questioning why the developers would design the game like that. Doesn't stop him from using the RPG though.

* DrivenToSuicide: Played For Laughs, since the ''Battlefield'' series respawns dead players at pre-selected locations with resupplied equipment, the Battlefield Friends often use "Suicide" option to move to an objective point faster or restock their empty supplies.

* DramaticIrony: Played for laugh in the episode "Kill Cam", where Colonel relates to the one time he was killed in ''[=BF3=]'' and surmise that the person who was able to kill him must be a "master of ''Battlefield''". He then teams up with Noob to hunt down the players who killed them. However, the person who killed Colonel was [[Noob]] via C4 during the episode "Transport Chopper".
