Several aspects of the comic were included in the game, such as Nort pillboxes (visually based to some degree on hardened field defences used by the British in World War II), a Quartz-like 'Glass Zone' and most notably the personalities of the bio-chips, which would announce the presence of enemy soldiers, give health and ammo status reports and make sarcastic and derogatory remarks at the Norts and to Rogue himself.
