* AcceptableBreaksFromReality: Tried to avert as much as possible. 
** And those that do exist are often the result of the ''Battlefield 2'' engine's limitations rather than the developers' own intentions. Hence why they're working on the ''ARMA'' version and are ultimately pushing towards a stand-alone ''Project Reality 2''.
* {{AKA47}}: Averted for the most part, though the "[=M16A2=]" used by the Hamas faction is really an [=M16A1=] with a different handguard.
* AnonymousRinger: Averted with the Chechenya and Taliban factions
** Certain patches have the Chechens become the "Militia", and several maps also showing the US and UK fighting them, so played straight.
* AntiAir: Some US & German bases will have M61 vulcan cannons filling this role, while various maps will have KPV heavy machine guns in a ZPU-4 quad anti-aircraft mounting. There is even an Anti-Air class which carries a shoulder-launched missile such as the American FIM-92A Stinger or the Russian SA-7 Grail. There are also mobile anti-aircraft vehicles such as the Avenger humvee & SA-13 Gopher.

* OneManArmy Averted. The cornerstone of the game is teamwork and cooperation. This is reinforced by control points requiring a minimum 2-man team to capture, making it impossible for ''Film/{{Commando}}'' wannabes to capture them alone. Furthermore, many vehicles require more than one person to fully operate (one to drive and one or more to man the weapons).
* PistolWhip The kits that don't have a knife or other form of melee combat for you will usually allow you to smack the enemy with the butt of your rifle.
* TranslationConvention Averted. All factions speak their native languages, including in the commands that can be given by the player.
* UniversalDriversLicense Averted. While all soldiers can use the jeeps and trucks, only the Crewman class can use armored vehicles, and aircraft are restricted to the Pilot class.
* UnusableEnemyEquipment: Unlike ''[=BF2=]'', the opposing factons cannot jack each others' vehicles, and can only grab the basic kits from slain opponents; picking up an enemy Medic kit for example will result in you being killed if you don't drop it in less than a minute.
* UrbanWarfare Many maps are set in urban areas, including [[RealPlaceBackground real-world cities]] such as Beirut, Basrah, Fallujah, Karbala, and Muttrah.

* WorldWarThree Many of the game's maps are based on or inspired by real-life conflicts, but when you have scenarios such as British incursions into China or a Russian amphibious assault on Israeli-occupied Beirut, it [[InferredHolocaust makes you wonder...]] 
* YanksWithTanks Times two; US Army and US Marines. These factions appear in both the original ''PR'' and in the new ''PR: Vietnam''.
* GatlingGood The Blackhawk and Little Bird helicopters come equipped with Miniguns and of course you can't forget the [[MoreDakka GAU-8 Avenger]] on the A-10A Thunderbolt II. ''PR: Vietnam'' also has Huey gunships outfitted with these.
* GrenadeLauncher The Grenadier class, as the name implies, wields an assault rifle with an underslung grenade launcher which can fire both high-explosive fragmentation and smoke rounds. The tanks and APC's also feature smoke grenade launchers which can be used to quickly create a temporary smoke screen.
* AntiAir Some US & German bases will have M61 vulcan cannons filling this role, while various maps will have KPV heavy machine guns in a ZPU-4 quad anti-aircraft mounting. There is even an Anti-Air class which carries a shoulder-launched missile such as the American FIM-92A Stinger or the Russian SA-7 Grail. There are also mobile anti-aircraft vehicles such as the Avenger humvee & SA-13 Gopher.
* ReverseGrip: Most classes that don't have a bayonet mounted on their main weapon will usually still carry a knife, and use it in this fashion upon taking it out.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter Averted. While each faction has at least one class packing a shotgun, these are usually secondary weapons and while incredibly lethal at close range, [[ShortRangeShotgun are practically useless for targets more than a dozen or so feet away]].
* SprintMeter: The player has one of these that is worn down not just by running, but jumping will take chunks out of it as well.
* BottomlessMagazines Averted. All weapons from the original game that exhibited this trait have been redesigned to have finite ammo supplies.
* ItsRainingMen: A few maps will have an airborne spawn point, meaning the player will parachute onto the battlefield.
* {{Qurac}} Subverted; while most of the middle-eastern locations in the game are based on real locations, there are a few such as Ramiel that don't exist in real life. Recently, a single-player map pack was released that includes a few nondescript middle-eastern locations.
