* One piece of evidence for "Fracture Jaw" is a photograph of Adler and Sims in Vietnam. Bell's absence from the picture serves as both an early bit of foreshadowing that [[spoiler:Bell was never actually in Vietnam]] and a way to account for any possible gender and skin tone combination the player may have chosen without having to create multiple versions of the photo.

* Why does Mason get ''very'' twitchy when he goes to Yamatau? Because as ''Black Ops II'' shows, the numbers programming never truly left him, and so returning to a place associated with Steiner, Kravchenko and Dragovich would naturally result in that programming crawling back into his active headspace.

[[spoiler:At one point during the Yamantau mission, Mason finds a desiccated corpse left behind from Hudson and Weaver's visit to Yamantau in the original ''Black Ops'', complete with a crossbow bolt sticking out. Should Mason examine the corpse, his programming will once again try to assert itself.]]



* On a meta level, the skill and/or stat buffs the player chooses when filling out their psych profile don't apply on some levels... because it's ''Bell's'' psych profile and the player character for those levels is someone else.

* It's possible to make Bell have a ex-KGB background, but there's no mentions as to WHY you defected. No one recognizes you when you walk into the KGB HQ, either. [[spoiler: That's because you never voluntarily left the KGB. You were captured from Perseus' crew and brainwashed to fight against them.]]

[[spoiler: That's because you never voluntarily left the KGB.KGB, nor were you probably one as far as you remember. You were captured from Perseus' crew and brainwashed to fight against them.]] There’s also the fact that Perseus is secret even to the Soviet Government that only a handful of KGB are secretly members of the spy group. If you were KGB, you were likely a nobody to them]].



* Based on [[spoiler: the dialogue in the bad ending, its likely Perseus at least has enough people in the CIA and [=MI6=] to know the status of his former associates and whether or not they broke in captivity. He also has enough reach that he could confidently order their rescue or death, even while in the hands of Western intelligence agencies.]]

Added DiffLines:

** [[spoiler: Could’ve been one of Dragovich’s sleeper agents]].
* It was a good thing Adler did not bring Mason to the Lubyanka building, because you will end up seeing Kravchenko as you walk. ''Black Ops II'' reveals he wasn’t completely deprogrammed of the Numbers programming, which would’ve taken effect if he saw Kravchenko and thus compromise the mission.

* [[spoiler: It has been revealed that Bell's memories of Vietnam are fake. But in "Fracture Jaw", every soldier other than Adler and Sims have names too. That would mean Adler also taught him names of hundreds of relatively unimportant soldiers.]]

** [[spoiler:Seeing as the flashbacks in "Break On Through" depict Adler basically having to go over every detail of his time in Vietnam to get Bell to trust him, he may very well have told Bell ''every single thing'' about Vietnam for the sake of ensuring Bell wouldn't get tipped off if they noticed even ''one'' mundane detail out of place.

* In 'Redlight Greenlight', you access a Soviet computer system that has voice files involving a conversation between Hudson and President Reagan. The conversation revolves around Operation Greenlight. There is a mole in the US government both skilled and high-ranking enough to tap a secure line used by the PRESIDENT.

* [[spoiler:In the mission "Break on Through" at the part where you cross the rope bridge, you can see Park, Lazar or even both depending on who you fail to save in the previous mission. More like Fridge {{Tearjerker}}, but one interpretation for this is Bell experiencing a PastExperienceNightmare due to possible SurvivorsGuilt.]]
