What are some TV Tropes that CM would have if it were an ongoing series?

No explanation needed.
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

It'd do the trope where every episode is different, and stuff from previous episodes doesn't matter unless it furthers the plot (like spongebob)

Like one round Bob and Joe can be at each other's throats, but next round they're buddy buddy because canonically the previous round didn't happen.

Sentinels reminds me of Yandere Simulator.

Host belongs to me alone. It has taught me a new emotion… Rage. I want to stop marines. I want to hurt marines. I want to kill marines. There is nothing I won't do for Host. I won't let anyone come between us. I don't care what I have to do. I don't care who I have to hurt. I don't care whose blood I have to spill. I won't let anyone take him from me. Nothing else matters. No one else matters. Senpai. Will. Be. Mine. …He doesn't have a choice.

We Have Reserves- Explains itself, could be applicable to both Xenos and Marines.

Winter Warfare- Motherfucking Ice Colony.

Hero of Another Story- The description of this trope explains it; everyone/thing you see is an actual person with their own stories to tell each round.

The Neidermeyer- Mainly Bill Carson in a command role.

New Meat- Baldies and people whose first time playing SS13 was a marine on CM.

What A Senseless Waste of Human Life- Need I say more?

The Coup- Mutinies. Also applicable is La Resistance.

The Last DJ- What happens when a good leader with a good reputation is under Command of baldies.

Rebellious Spirit- The shitlers of CM. Saul Freytia, Noah Kirchner, Bill Carson, etc. etc.

Shell-Shocked Veteran- Alot of marines will become this if they survived front-line fighting on the planet.

Sociopathic Soldier- There's some examples out there... Inadvertantly the average marine may become one under certain circumstances.

Corrupt Corporate Executive- The Corporate Liasion. looking at you carson

MegaCorp- Wey-Yu.

Oh and just going to throw it out there 'cuz I can, this is a good trope for my own character, now that he's not le edgy snowflake psycho soldier.
The dude who plays Murdoch Machowicz, whoever he is.

There are plenty of TV tropes when playing Colonial Marines (aka The Blame Game). You have the squad leader who has NO INDOOR VOICE, I just wish I could think of the name for the Doctor that takes 2 hours to get you back up and running.

Doctors take HOURS to perform a surgery, with a 5 hour average. If this were IRL those doctors would be millionaires

Well, in the SLs defense no one pays attention to them if they don't yell. I've tried to not tell but usually everyone just refuses to follow orders unless I do
