** Soyuz 1 ''was'' ill-fated, but that wasn't because of American sabotage - that was all on the Soviets and their rush to celebrate Lenin's birthday, no matter the possible cost. A Soyuz 2 mission was planned shortly afterwards (to fix everything that went wrong with Soyuz 1) but it had to be called off due to a thunderstorm effecting its electrical systems, and a mission by that name wouldn't launch for another 18 months after Soyuz 1's failure.

** In addition to everything listed in AnachronismStew, the game makes one glaring mistake about the Bay of Pigs Invasion.

The CIA and the rebels ultimately went ahead with the invasion figuring they could make it work anyway.

This would have gone on, if the Russians hadn't arrived.

On the other side is Dragovich's group: a pack of total psychopaths who happily betray their own countrymen for having objectives that might slightly not match up to their own [[ForTheEvulz (or for no reason at all)]], recruit open Nazis to refine a chemical weapon that causes a horrific and agonizing death, test the weapon on prisoners of war, civilians, and ''[[WouldHurtAChild children and babies]]'', and want to wipe out an entire continent with said weapon to install their version of Soviet totalitarianism onto the rest of the world.

** In the case of PC version. The released game featured insane CPU usage (caused FPS stuttering), too low network rate (caused multiplayer stuttering even if the FPS is good), LOD bugs (objects appearing a couple steps in front of you)... and that's not counting content unavailable to PC users for unknown reasons: can't change loadout between matches (something even [=CoD4=]'s PC version allowed) or raise stakes in the money matches. These problems are so omnipresent many players consider the game hasn't been beta-tested on PC at all.
