* AluminumChristmasTrees: As improbable and impractical as it sounds, the [=GS=] Magna, a fully-automatic conversion of the Desert Eagle [=AKA=] the .50 [=GS=] that was added in ''[=MWII=]'''s Season 03 Reloaded, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF4XwrFsBz4 does exist in real life]].

** In DMZ mode, any AI enemy with a shotgun instantly becomes a priority target for the simple fact that they've got surprisingly good range on those shotguns, and one good hit will instantly take out at least one full armor plate. The only upside is the vast majority of them don't wear armor themselves and as such are the epitome of a GlassCannon - but go into an area with higher-tier AI and the likelihood increases that you'll find one with both armor and a shotgun. And may the Lord help you if you go up against the Pyro in Al Mazrah, as he's an enemy with a shotgun and ''a riot shield'' in addition to his armor.

They're even worse in Vondel, as they upgrade from the two-shot Lockwood 300 to the semi-automatic, higher-capacity KV Broadside - combine this with the fact that getting the enemy AI on your case in Vondel will cause them to spawn indefinitely out of alleys, and a good half of the map becomes practically instant death.

** A lot of entries about [[spoiler:Graves' fate]] made mention of [[spoiler:his VillainousValour, how he chose to go down fighting with his men rather than cut and run]]. Come Season 5, turns out [[spoiler:yep, he ''did'' cut and run - he wasn't in the tank everybody thought he was in.]]

* HarsherInHindsight:
** The central villian being a livestreaming terrorist named "Hasan" hits different after a [[Creator/HasanPiker certain real-world political influencer's]] recent scrutiny over apparent sympathy for radical militant group "Hamas" amidst late 2023 tensions between [[UsefulNotes/ArabIsraeliConflict Israel and Palestine]].
** [[spoiler: Graves’ plan is this after multiple Republican presidential nominees have ran on a platform of invading or blockading Mexico (an act of war) seriously for the 2024 Presidential Election, made worse by the fact that Ben Shapiro (who many have noted this incarnation of Makarov bears an uncanny resemblance to) also expressed support for it in his book ''True Allegiance'' and [[DesignatedHero presented the character who ordered it (also against the wishes of the US Government) as in the right.]]]]

** Foap [[labelnote:Explanation]] Ghost's skull mask makes him look like he has a comically large overbite, so memers got some mileage out of mispronouncing things with his accent.[[/labelnote]]

** "Violence and Timing", where Gaz and Price launch a rescue operation in Urzikstan to save Laswell from Al Qalata with the help of Farah and the ULF. This mission involves having to drive down a highway, periodically carjacking other vehicles when yours becomes too damaged, while dealing with gunfire/returning fire, obstacles, and traffic while pursuing the AQ convoy. The constant juggling of gameplay focuses can make this mission a headache to manage when things get too hectic.

* "Alone", where you play as Soap [[spoiler:after Shadow Company betrays Task Force 141.]] While it does emphasize the dire situation that Soap is in, the mission starts with Soap's movement drastically slowed down and without access to any weapons (though both of which are resolved half-way through the level). Until then, Soap is forced to scavenge the dark interiors of apartments to find essential material to craft items required to progress through the level or take down the enemies. Finally, after a certain point, Soap is then forced to fight/evade {{Heavily Armored Mook}}s with nothing but the weapons he scavenged and the items he crafted to reach Ghost.
