History VideoGame / TheForgotten

* AssholeVictim: In the ending, Trogan mentioned that GDI promised reinstatement of aid among other things. In the Morning Dawn Report supplementary material, you'll find that the reason they stopped receiving aid in the first place was because members of the Forgotten not only rebuffed them, but actually ''attacked GDI aid workers''.

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Salvador in the ending, by a GDI airstrike. Arguably doubles as a KarmicDeath due to this being the only time GDI retaliates for the Forgotten's repeated unprovoked attacks on them.]]

* ActionBomb: The Impact Drones, improved version of the old Hunter Killer drones used by GDI in the previous war. They now fly and can be directed manually to their targets rather then let it seek out on it's own ([[AwesomeButImpractical which usually leads to it destroying a stupid target halfway across the map instead of something more valuable]], unless you [[GenreSavvy preemptively set its parameters to "Hold Fire" so that it only divebombs its intended target(s) instead]]).

* HollywoodOld: Even though Salvador Trogan keeps calling himself an old man, he really, ''really'' doesn't look that old. The user's manual handwaves it as a side effect of his unknown illness.

* AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption: During the mission briefing for the final mission:

* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: Two of them: on one end of the spectrum is the War Camper, a [[WeaponizedCar armoured campervan]] which can transport a squad of infantry and is armed with missile launchers effective against light vehicles and aircraft. On the other end of the spectrum is the [[TankGoodness Longhorn]], which is essentially a [[StoneWall heavily armoured mobile bunker]] armed with a [[{{BFG}} tank gun]] and space for up to [[MoreDakka four squads of infantry to garrison and fire out from it]].

-->'''Trogan:''' (To the player) Never did I imagine a rebellion would find a commander as talented as yourself, never has someone risen as spectacularly (turns to face Livy without pausing) as you, General Livy.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: General Abel Livy. Being the only live-action character besides Trogan, you'd think he would be more important, but he appears for a few cutscenes with barely any lines, gets sent on a suicide mission to the Italian Red Zone, then dies.

* SuddenDownerEnding: The Forgotten destroys the backup Scrin Control Node, preventing Kane from using it for his own purposes. GDI agrees to a truce with the Forgotten, and General Granger promises the restoration of aid and even a personal apology. It looks like things are finally going well for the Forgotten... [[spoiler: [[ShootTheShaggyDog Then Salvador is killed by an airstrike ordered by Boyle, and the Forgotten most likely goes all the way back to square one.]]]]
