* FirstPersonDyingPerspective: The game does this twice:
** First at the end of the "No Russian" mission, when the terrorists (knowing Allen is an undercover agent) shoot him and leave him for dead to make it look like a FalseFlagOperation.
** Then at the end of [[WhamEpisode "Loose Ends"]], in which General Shepherd arrives to retrieve the DSM, then kills the surviving Task Force 141 members and sets their bodies on fire, all seen from the perspective of task force member Roach.

* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: Minor example compared to most but in the intro to "The Only Easy Day...Was Yesterday", Shepherd states that the operation to free Prisoner 627, who is being held in a Gulag on the Russian Pacific coast, is being facilitated by the US Navy's Sixth Fleet. In real life, the Sixth Fleet's Area of Responsibility is the Mediterranean and the eastern Atlantic. It should have been the ''Seventh'' Fleet, which operates in the Pacific.

* OpeningMonologue: The game opens with General Shepherd musing about how the West's intervention in Russia in the previous game did nothing to stop the Ultranationalists from taking control of the country, before looking to the matters of the present.
-->'''Shepherd''': The more things change, the more they stay the same. Boundaries shift, new players step in, but power always finds a place to rest its head. We fought and bled alongside the Russians. We shoulda known they'd hate us for it. History is written by the victor. And here I am thinking we'd won. But you bring down one enemy and they find someone even worse to replace him. Locations change, the rationale, the objective. Yesterday's enemies are today's recruits. Train them to fight alongside you, and pray they don't eventually decide to hate you for it too.

Leaving Allen's dead body at the scene, Makarov fooled the Russian populace into thinking an American solider was responsible for the attack, leading to a full-scale invasion of the United States.
