Trivia[]
- Early images of the game show elements never seen in the final game such as: Multiple enemy dogs in Bosnia, riding an ATV in Tibet and shooting limbs off enemy soldiers.
- In an trailer a rain/temperature percentage can be seen along side the other HUD elements when looking through the scope. It is not seen in the final release however.
- In another trailer the HUD looks different with more of a light blue being the main color, as well as there being no HUD when looking through the scope, the distance and zoom level were on the scope cross-hairs.
- The HUD show two number place holders that are never used, it can be speculated that they may have been for grenades which were missing from the game.
