Does This Remind You of Anything?: Braddock's address to his troops on Titan, found in the manual, has suspiciously similar language to War On Terror rhetoric, though this game is older then such. They're part of a terraformation system intended to transform the Dark Planet into a new Core, as the old one is somehow "dying" and taking the Scions with it in droves. Doomsday Device: What the ISDF believe the massive machines found on Rend, Mire and Bane to be. When the EDF comes under heavy attack, she flees in the Recycler to a teleporter, laying mines behind her so that nobody can follower her. She sends Corber (the protagonist) to do all the dirty work. Dirty Coward: Major Wyndt-Essex in Forgotten Enemies. Major Manson is this as well, who forms an ISDF splinter-group of Earth-Government loyalists against Braddock, who at that point plans to return to Earth in force and institute a military dictatorship. After disappearing on Bane in a Drop Ship crash and being presumed dead, she later reappears on Rend as a Scion, urging you not to side with the power-hungry Braddock. Defector From Decadence: Yelena Shabayev, your commanding officer. #Battlezone 2 wiki series#
Three years after his death, a series of nukes are launched from a hidden base on Charon towards the Dark Planet.
Dead-Man Switch: Braddock has one in Forgotten Enemies. Though the planet's origin is never made clear, what is apparent is that it is ripe to be terraformed into a clone of the Scion's adopted homeworld, Core. It does feature unnaturally geometric terrain and a sense that something is just. Dark World: The aptly-named Dark Planet, though not so much in the sense of this trope as being a planet that is really, really dark, but unnaturally so, with a permanent planet-wide electrical storm. Base on Wheels: The ISDF Recycler and Scion Matriarch roll to their deployment site and unfold into a giant factory. Largely useless (but awesome) in the standard game, it becomes far more useful in the Fleshstorm mod, to kill the hordes of weak Swarm units. However, it starts pulsing immediately after you shoot it, meaning that it'll damage you if you fire while moving forward. When you fire the Pulse-Stabber, it shoots a cannon shell that pulses out bursts of radiation, damaging everything that passes near the shell, even if the shell doesn't actually hit them. Awesome but Impractical: The Pulse-Stabber cannon, which is basically a variant of the standard AT-Stabber. 
Same thing happens in the target, a tiny portion of it instantly and brutally vaporizes, sending destructive shockwaves throughout it), but it does on planets with no known atmosphere. Maybe one could give this a pass (real-life pulsed lasers also go BANG! as the channel of air they pass through rapidly heats up and expands, producing blast waves.

Artistic License Physics: The ISDF blast-laser's assault variant goes BANG! when you fire it.Said scavengers will also get stuck on each other when trying to get scrap between them, or gleefully plow into a deadly lake when trying to grab scrap near the shore. Unless you build nothing infront of (or anywhere near) your factory and recycler, your scavengers will always decide to ram into them to get scrap 100 meters away on the other side of the building. Artificial Stupidity: The pathfinding.Biometal is public knowledge, and the ISDF (the merged CCA and NSDF forces from the first game) is a known, public military force. Alternate History: Set several decades after the Bio-Metal Wars depicted in the first game, it's now The Nineties.It contains profiles on the major characters and some letters, among them a transcript from the black box of Major Manson's Wolverine tank concerning a a battle on Titan against the Furies, which would seem to indicate he (and possibly others) survived the Bio-Metal Wars.

All There in the Manual: The manual for this game uses a similar Framing Device to the first, this time as the ISDF's field manual. They actually just want to bring the enlightened Cthonian culture back to humanity. Aliens Are Bastards: And want to kill us all, or so General Armand Braddock would have you believe. All this with the same shared ammo system from the first game. Abnormal Ammo: ISDF ammuntion is mostly bullets, cannon shells and missiles with the occasional Energy Weapon, but Scion weaponry runs the gamut from plasma cannons to lightning guns and razor-sharp quill launchers. (Note that a number of the tropes from the first game also apply here.)
