Trivia[]

  • In the final cut of the game, the Marine Lieutenant is African-American in ethnicity, his rank is Captain instead of Lieutenant and his dialogue has been changed from the trailer version.
  • In Part 2 of the trailer, you can see a different moving animation while prone which was replaced by the animation seen in Part 3.
  • The weapon animation while running has been changed since game release.
  • The M4A1 use in the trailer had a flashlight (not toggleable) and an ACOG sight, that looks a little different from the final-release version. The reload animation was completely different, seeing the player changing mag in a different way and pulling back the charging handle, instead of clicking the bolt-release button.
  • The M240B with an attached Holographic Sight and Bipod as seen in Part 3 is replaced by a M249 with ACOG (but still with Bipod) in the final game.
  • Audio from the end-scene dogfight was taken from a flight recording of an F-16 pilot dodging a surface-to-air missile during Operation Desert Storm.
  • Close examination when Blackburn is blown back by the car explosion in the parking lot shows he is wearing woodland camouflage fatigues nearly identical to the American Recon. This could imply that DICE had originally planned to have different first-person leg models for each multiplayer class.
  • When Blackburn is seen firing the .50 at the Insurgents, the ammunition belt can clearly be seen not moving, this was fixed in the final game.
