  • Banned in Australia: The 2012 reboot was refused classification in Australia due to excessive violence. EA did not submit a censored version, so Australian gamers have to import from abroad.
  • Dueling Works: The 2012 reboot was released in the same month as Digital Extreme's The Darkness II, the B-Team Sequel to Starbreeze's original game. Interestingly, both games have a 4-player coop mode in lieu of traditional PVP multiplayer.
  • Dummied Out: Syndicate Wars contained ten levels for the Unguided, but their campaign was not implemented due to time constraints. The missions included with the game can still be accessed via command line parameters.
  • Easter Egg: Got the PC version of Syndicate Wars? Have a poke around on the CD and you'll find a text file containing the highest known prime number at the time of the game's release. (258716 decimal digits in 1996, for the curious)
  • What Could Have Been: The above mentioned third campaign for Syndicate Wars as the Unguided, a faction consisting of people who were broken free from chip control by the virus and are now fighting against both the Church and EuroCorp.
  • Working Title: Bob. Sean Cooper explained it as the reason robots are hired by corporations: "Have Bob do it."
