* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler: Dima returns and helps you escape from the Chinese prison, only to apparently die in a cable car crash.]]
** DroppedABridgeOnHim: Dropped a cable car on him, actually. Particularly notable since the car crash was the sort that Modern Military Shooter protagonists normally get into and survive every other mission.
* DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent: [[spoiler: Hannah turns out to be one of these. It certainly doesn't help her earn the team's trust, and Irish even tries to strangle her at one point.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TheOtherDarrin: [[spoiler: Dima's appearance is drastically different in this game. He no longer looks like Oleg Taktarov; in fact, he now looks like Patrick Stewart.]] In fact, he looks much more like Solomon from the previous game.
* SaveThisPersonSaveTheWorld: [[spoiler: Tombstone's ultimate task is to save the rightful president of China, the peacemaker Jin Jie, to prevent a global war between the U.S. and China.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TheUnfought: [[spoiler: Unlike The Legionnaire, Colonel Kirilenko, or Solomon from the previous games, you never actually get to confront Admiral Chang face to face. At the end you do blow up a destroyer that he was supposedly on, though.]]
* WholePlotReference: The escape from the Chinese prison closely follows the Russian prison escape sequence from ''CallOfDutyBlackOps''. [[spoiler: The Russian protagonist of the previous game is also a prisoner there; he helps you escape the prison only to apparently die an anticlimactic death off-screen once you've made your escape. One almost expects him to show up as an imaginary friend later in the game.]]
* YouAreInCommandNow: Happens ''twice'' to your character.
