* JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: Word for word spoken by Ghost [[spoiler:once Shadow Company not only betrays them but decides to declare [[EmergencyAuthority their own twisted martial law]] on Las Almas, ruthlessly cutting a path through the corruption the cartels wrought that disgusted them while they were coming in. As Soap and Ghost make for an escape from the town, it's clear hundreds of people (both innocent and not) are dead throughout the region as a result of the bloodbath Shadow Company created enforcing their so-called justice, with even the local police not being spared from them ([[KickTheSonOfABitch not that a good number of them didn't deserve it, mind you]]).]]
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:Shadow Company after betraying Task Force 141 and Los Vaqueros began to butcher both the Cartel and the local police, but the former are brutal criminals and the latter is stated to be very much corrupt and turn a blind eye to the Cartel's wrongdoings (or even assisting them if required). While they may have deserved Shadow Company's cruelty, their families certainly did not]].

* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: It's possible to unlock weapons early by taking them from someone else in DMZ mode and extracting with them. This is particularly pronounced with the [=M13B=] added in Season One, as extracting from DMZ with one, whether from the Chemist in Al Mazrah or another player, was the ''only'' way to unlock it prior to the release of [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfareIII Modern Warfare III]].

* RogueProtagonist: Velikan upgrades from being a playable operator in the 2019 game to a boss in Special Ops and DMZ.

* InsistentTerminology: In one of the dialogues in "Recon By Fire", the British Price corrects the American Laswell every time she calls the sport "soccer". This is par on course with most Brits, as they get rather annoyed when Americans refer to the sport as football.

** ''Call of Duty 4'' featured a G3 that was then replaced for ''Modern Warfare 2'' with the FAL. Here it's reversed, with ''Modern Warfare'' featuring an FAL that was then replaced for ''Modern Warfare II'' with the G3 (and a series of other weapons based on it, for that matter: The [=HK21=] and [=PSG1=] hailing from the first ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps Black Ops'', the [=MP5=] being a staple in most modern-day ''[=CoD=]'' titles, with the [=HK33=] being the only new addition).

Three years have passed since the special forces unit that would become Task Force 141 eliminated Russian despot Roman Barkov, and put an end to his occupation of Urzikstan. As the years passed, Al-Qatala has turned into a formidable army, supplied with advanced military hardware by Iran. After a mission to assassinate Iranian General Ghorbrani, the search for his second-in-command, [[UsefulNotes/PersiansWithPistols Quds Force]] Major Hassan Zyani, reveals that Iran, and now Al-Qatala, have long-range missiles.
