Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Trying to prove Closet Colonel wasn't a "noob player", Medic and Recon ask him a few questions with answers a [[ColonelBadass Colonel]] would give, like whether he has a girlfriend, job, sex life, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers what the hipfire spread of a [=M416=] is]]. The final nail to the revelation was when Closet Colonel's mic picks up the fact he's got a [[JarPotty "shit bucket"]] just like Colonel.

Cool Loser cleanup, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.


* CoolLoser: Notably, he's the only Level 100 Colonel that the protagonists respect despite his regrettable lifestyle outside of the game.

Weapon Of Choice is now a disambig


* WeaponOfChoice: Noob uses light machine guns ([[ATeamFiring ineffectively]]), mostly seen with the [=M249 SAW=] and sometimes, the Ultimax [=100 MK5=] in ''[=BF4=]'' which he refers to as 'The Big Gun'. [[note]]The Ultimax is about as big as any assault rifle, and its Battlefield 4 version uses only a 30-round magazine, despite being in the light machine gun category.[[/note]]

* WeaponOfChoice: Medic uses assault rifles, namely the AEK-971 or the Galil ACE 23 in ''[=BF4=]''.



* WeaponOfChoice: A SV-98 sniper rifle, as part of his class-specific loadout in [=BF3=] and [=BF4=], while the SR-[=25 ECC=] marksman rifle is used in Hardline.

* WeaponOfChoice: Similar to the real game, the Engineer uses carbines, notably the [=G36C=] in ''[=BF3=]'' and ''Hardline'', and the Galil ACE 21 in ''[=BF4=]''. The [=Mk 153 SMAW=] is his default rocket launcher. As well as whatever happens to be the most current OP weapons, which appear sometimes in the show's opening as him holding that weapon instead.



* WeaponOfChoice: The Colonel only uses his signature knife (later equipped with a ''bipod'', [[spoiler:and then a bipod FOR the bipod]]) to great effect, [[RealityWarper game mechanics be damned]]. He does use C4, but seldomly so.
