TriviaEdit
- The Marines have appeared in almost every Battlefield game to date, with the exception of Battlefield 2142 and the original Bad Company.
- In every Vietnam or Modern based game at least one of the multiplayer characters of the USMC is African-American.
- In Battlefield Vietnam the Marines are shown as being the most muscular of the factions.
- Very early in Battlefield 2 (probably Alpha), the USMC looked very different & their voices were completely different as seen in this video.
- In the campaign of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, HMMWV's belonging to the USMC are actually marked "U.S. Army". This is most likely due to the same vehicle/kit models being used for both the army and marine forces in the game.
- In the Battlefield 3 Beta, the assault class Marine was Caucasian, however, in the retail game he is African American. The Support Class was also originally Caucasian, however in the game the Support Class Marine looks Hispanic.
- The Marines in Battlefield 3 multiplayer are likely part of a special forces unit, as the gear they wear is not standard issue.
- In Battlefield 3 multiplayer, while playing as the U.S. Marines, the in-game characters will refer to each other as "soldier" when being healed or leaving the map boundaries. This is incorrect as they are Marines. A soldier would be in the Army, sailor in the Navy etc.
- Certain entries on Battlelog refer to the multiplayer force as the US Army, instead of the Marines.
- The USMC in Battlefield 3 are always the attackers in Rush and Squad Rush on every map.
- The USMC in Battlefield 3 first-person model is the same as Blackburn's, despite their 3rd person appearance all having different gloves (exception of assault).
- There was a graphical issue with the American Assault/Medic kit, as the Marine is African American in third person but he appears Caucasian in first person view due to the skin tone of his arms. This was fixed in a later patch.
- In Battlefield 3, the watch that all Marines in-game wear in first person is what looks to be a G-Shock Mudman.
- The gloves that all Battlefield 3 Marines wear in first person appear to be Tan Oakley SI Assault Gloves.
