First-Name Basis: After finishing all the main missions, in a heartful farewell, Control opens up to Raven by revealing his real name: Alex.Averted with yellow barrels, which will simply fall when shot. Exploding Barrels: Red barrels will explode upon being shot.The game also doesn't tie into the plot of the first Contracts game in any way (Raven's employer seems to be a completely different organization than Seeker's). Raven's part in the story is that he's been paid to assassinate a dictator and perform operations to destabilise her regime in order to get to her. Excuse Plot: There's really little in terms of plot.Contrasting Replacement Character: While Handler in the first game was a cold, clandestine sort who was pretty clearly Obviously Evil, Control in this game is more earthy and informal and is apparently a former special forces operator himself, and the organization he works for seems to be much less overtly suspicious than Handler's organization, which were heavily hinted to be the Greater-Scope Villain.Cold Sniper: Raven is a Consummate Professional with a gruff voice and occasionally snarky dialogue.Cool Mask: Raven has one with a visor that provides him with all kinds of tactical information.Call-Back: When hacking into one of the cameras in the training area, Seeker's mask can be seen half-buried in the snow.Big Bad: Bibi Rashida, the ruthless president of Kuamar.50 calibre anti-materiel rifles, including his default rifle, the UK50. BFG: Heavies come equipped with machineguns for More Dakka.Back Stab: Raven can take his knife to patrolling soldiers to either take them out right away or interrogate them, then stab them to death.Averted with Heavies, who are clad in so much armour plating that only specialised ammo, explosions or an upgraded melee attack can reliably put them down immediately. Armor Is Useless: Most Mooks are Faceless Goons in helmets, which doesn't make the slightest bit of difference, as most of Raven's hardware will go ignore them anyway.
