History YMMV / RogueTrooper

* ValuesDissonance: The Southers are the protagonist faction and partially based on the American Confederacy, even including some named references to Confederacy. Needless to say, this probably wouldn't fly nowadays (or in an American comic, for that matter), but its kept due to GrandfatherClause. That said, they're not portrayed as entirely morally upstanding, ranging from BlackAndGrayMorality to even ALighterShadeOfBlack.

* SeasonalRot: The general consensus is that the original stories lost their appeal after Rogue finally dealt with the [[BigBad Traitor General]]. The ''Hitman'' arc was particularly dull. This is what lead to the ContinuityReboot.

** Video Game: The [[BigBad Traitor General]] is one of the members of Souther High Command, who decided to sell out his own people to the Norts. The Traitor General revealed to the Norts the time and place where the Southers will deploy all of their Genetic Infantry troops, and setting up a trap for them, leading to the Quartz Zone Massacre, where nearly all of GI got slaughtered. The Traitor General then sadistically killed Nort Grand Admiral Hoffa by having him suffocate from Nu-Earth atmosphere to [[HeKnowsTooMuch keep him from revealing his identity]]. After being nearly killed by [[PlayerCharacter Rogue]], the Traitor General joined the Norts and lead their army to slaughter countless Souther soldiers, fully willing to assist them in destroying his own people.

* CompleteMonster: The Traitor General betrayed all of the genetically modified [[SuperSoldier Genetic Infantrymen]] to their enemies, resulting in a massacre. When the last survivor, "Rogue," hunts him down and narrows his identity to one of four Generals, the Traitor has the space station they're on blown up and rigs the escape pods to burn the other generals alive. A glitch results in his own face being burnt and hideously disfigured. Killing his former masters, the traitor establishes a bandit group that preys on both sides of the war and later kills his own men when he is forced to flee again. Taking control of multiple robots, the Traitor then attacks medical units, killing doctors and patients, before escaping Rogue again by taking a hostage and breaking open his air supply, dooming the man to death in the poison atmosphere. When Rogue tracks him down yet again, he discovers the Traitor had manipulated the weather using another device to freeze two whole armies to death before he attempts to kill Rogue again.

* NoProblemWithLicensedGames: The game was quite well received when it came out, and, while perhaps not excellent, is still a solid third-person shooter with above-average production values and some interesting quirks in how weapons and gear are handled to differentiate it from the rest of the genre. Helps that Creator/{{Rebellion}} owns the rights to ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD''.
