The fourth installment in FromSoftware's Armored Core series, released in 2000 for the Playstation 2.Sixty-seven years after the fall of the Raven's Nest, Mars has been terraformed to have an environment suitable for human habitation. The new Earth Government encourages immigration to Mars, though its appointed watchdog, the LCC, struggles to maintain order on the planet. The corporations Zio Matrix and Emeraude vye for supremacy of the red planet, while the smaller Balena makes moves under the surface.You are a Raven who emigrated to Mars in order to register with the Nerves Concord, the successor to the Raven's Nest. Between the corporation's war and intermittent rampages by the Disorder Units, hostile bio-mechanical entities left behind by an ancient civilization, you'll have plenty of employment opportunies.The first Armored Core game for the sixth generation of consoles, Armored Core 2 makes multiple additions and refinements to the formula. Armored Cores now have the ability to overboost, a faster but less-controllable boost. New part categories have been added, these being radiators, inside parts for mine and missile decoys, and extension parts that can be used for a variety of support functions. The menu system has been overhauled to allow for clearer comparison of part stats and players can now store up to three distinct Armored Core designs.The game is followed by Armored Core 2: Another Age.

Repetitive Audio Glitch: After you defeat Leos Klein at the space elevator, he starts looping his pre-fight quote in an increasingly glitch manner before blowing up, giving away that he's not the genuine article.

Actually a Doombot: Leos Klein installs a robotic duplicate of himself to take over the space elevator servicing Mars. You get a hint it's not the real Klein when it glitches out and starts repeating the same sentence over and over.

Rogue Protagonist: Leos Klein is strongly implied to be the protagonist of Armored Core: Master of Arena, having apparently regretted his part in the fall of the Raven's Nest order and become convinced that humans cannot be trusted to govern themselves.

Overdrive
 Armored Core 2 (Video Game) / int_6ab0c0f1
comment
Overdrive: The game introduces the ability to overboost, a much faster boost that is initiated from large thrusters installed on the back of cores rather than your boosters. The trade-off is that it is harder to control and has a high heat and energy cost. Exclusive to the 2nd generation is the Limiter Release: by inputing a key combination, you can overclock your generator and get unlimited energy for about 30 seconds. The trade-off is that your generator won't refill for several minutes afterward.

Gladiator Subquest: The Arena returns, working as it did in Armored Core: Project Phantasma. Unlike Project Phantasma's, Ravens in the Arena can be encountered during missions, and any Raven you kill during the course of the storyline will be removed from the rankings until the post game.

What the Hell Is That Accent?
 Armored Core 2 (Video Game) / int_8829dfa0
comment
What the Hell Is That Accent?: In the English dub, the Emeraude mission broker speaks in a heavy, undefinable accent. It's presumably meant to be French judging from the company's name, but it sounds so unlike anything else many players thought it was supposed to convey a fictional "Martian accent".

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Zio Matrix thinks this of the player character and tries to assassinate you through a bogus mission request. Leos Klein disposes of his right-hand woman Remille once he's fused with the special Disorder Unit inside Phobos.

Continuity Nod
 Armored Core 2 (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e
comment
Continuity Nod: One of the Arenas is named "Murakumo Dome", after Murakumo Millenium from the original trilogy. It is established in supplementary material that Zio Matrix acquired the Mars Terraforming technology from the Murakumo assets they had inherited. The 2nd lowest ranked contestant in the Arena is one Hustler Two, who pilots a crappy AC patterned after Nine-Ball and claims to be the son of Hustler One, even though AIs can't have kids. In the original game, the line "Raven, what is your wish" is uttered by The Raven's Nest AI as the player fights it. In Armored Core 2, Leos Klein repeats it as you escape the disintegrating Phobos.

The Ace: Leos Klein's arrival is treated by your operator as a sign that the LCC is serious about clamping down on the corporations. He's described as the first ever Ninebreaker, and the Raven who held the title longer than anyone else.

Cloudcuckoolander: The arena's 11th ranker is one Count One, who loves the number 1 above everything else – so much so that he'd rather stay #11, because it gives him twice as many 1s.
