* VehicularAssault: The FinalBoss is a helicopter gunship armed with a mounted turret gun. It's a full 3D model rather than a 2D sprite. While you can damage it with bullets, it's much more effective to fight it with a rocket launcher.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Dwayne's first mission as a squad leader ended up with his entire squad dead, because he ignored intel that suggested the enemy terrorists had acquired vulkan turrets to defend their camp. This resulted in him leaving the military and being consumed by guilt.
