| 2 | * DuelingGames: Originally with ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' (which was established by the former developers of ''Allied Assault''), while the 2010 reboot and ''Warfighter'' went against ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare''. |
| 3 | * FollowTheLeader: |
| 4 | ** While the 2010 reboot was a mild example of following the footsteps of ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'', ''Warfighter'' was attacked by critics and fans alike for being especially brazen about it. |
| 5 | ** Even before the reboot, the games from ''Pacific Assault'' onward increasingly took cues from new-kid-on-the-block ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' with the addition of mechanics such as squad combat and ironsights, and the abandonment of the OSS behind-enemy-lines theme for straightforward recreations of WWII battles. |
| 6 | ** The original game (and to an extent, ''Underground'') for the [=PlayStation=] eventually become the leaders for several low-budget (some of them borderline mediocre) FPS games in the early 2000s, all of them set in the Second World War where the player gets to shoot generic Germans for around an hour before deciding to stop playing altogether. ''Beyond Normandy: Assignment Berlin'', ''Airborne Hero: D-Day Frontline 1944'', ''Battlefield - The Battle For Normandy'', just to name a few unheard-of titles. |
| 7 | * FranchiseKiller: Somewhere between this and a SeriesHiatus, the poor sales and reviews of ''Warfighter'' [[http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/01/30/ea-pulls-medal-of-honor-out-of-rotation took the series out of EA's rotation]], and a new game wouldn't be seen until 8 years later. |
| 8 | * MethodActing: For the development of the original, Spielberg not only brought on Capt. Dale Dye, the military advisor for ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan'', to work with the developers, but the developers were ran through a boot camp similar to what the actors in ''Saving Private Ryan'' had been subjected to. All in the name of ensuring that the game would be as authentic as possible. |
| 9 | * StillbornFranchise: Not the series in general, but rather ''Rising Sun''. It was hyped as the be-all, end-all of games set in the Pacific Theater, and was all set up to have a direct sequel with an ongoing character-driven story about two brothers, Joe and Donnie Griffin, with the original starring Joe and the planned sequel starring Donnie. But after ''Rising Sun'' was greeted with a pretty chilly critical reception, not only was the sequel canned, but it left the original with a CliffHanger ending that was never given a full sequel. One of the lesser played ports (''Heroes'') resolved it off screen by saying that Joe and his friends were rescued. |
