* AluminumChristmasTrees: The Japanese really did have an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_4_rifle M1 Garand knockoff]]. It just wasn't actually issued in any capacity; the wartime Japanese industry was too damaged by how badly the war was going for them to iron out the many, many issues, and they'd only made enough parts for about 250 of them, only half of which were assembled before the war ended and most of them were dumped in the sea. It also didn't load with en bloc clips like the regular Garand, since the en bloc clip design flatly refused to work with their standard rifle cartridge.

* ThatOneLevel: Defending the hut in "No One Gets Left Behind" from ''[=BC2=]'' is one of the most painful experiences in the entire game, primarily because of what the game chooses to arm you with. The level starts with you [[NoGearLevel losing all your weapons except a pistol]], though there is a weapons crate along the path so you can gear up with what you want, until you actually get to the hut, at which point the game decides, for ranges at which an assault rifle with an ACOG has easily sufficed, you need a bolt-action sniper rifle - and not just any bolt-action sniper rifle, but the biggest, strongest, but also ''slowest'' of them all, the M95 Barrett. The section quickly becomes infuriating for all the wrong reasons, as you are looking at two seconds minimum between each shot (more when you factor in the need to actually aim) and ''six'' to reload after every 5 shots, which is a very bad combination with the fact that your cover will be quickly chipped away by the enemy's much faster return fire. You do have help from Sweetwater with a much more sensible semi-automatic sniper rifle, but good luck getting him to do much work. The only way to make the section tolerable is grabbing two assault rifles from the crate and having whichever one you like less equipped before triggering the cutscene so that it's the one that gets replaced with the Barrett.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Colonel Arkady Kirilenko]], from the second game, is one of the leading officers in Russia's conquest of the world and the head of a project to create a weapon of mass destruction, called the Scalar Weapon. Leading his forces in spreading death and destruction all over the world, killing many, Arkady uses Agent Aguire's anger at the US, for sending his father to die, to help him find the final piece of the Scalar Weapon, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness after which he quickly disposes of him]]. Finishing his weapon, Arkady first tested it on US forces in the Colombian city of Medellin, further destroying the city, as well as killing all US troops there and some of his own men. Satisfied with the results, Arkady tries to fly this weapon to the US, so that he could use it there in an attempt to destroy part of the country, so that America would be easily invaded and annihilated by Russian forces.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Happens several times in Bad Company 1 (listen in on the first mission, when Haggard talks about Miss July and his cousin). Despite how serious Bad Company 2's campaign tries to be, it still has its comedic moments.
--> '''Haggard:''' ''"Shit, that tore it. Get outta my way, I gotta save me some cheerleaders!"''
** The game has a strangely-funny clanging sound that plays to indicate you've scored a headshot. Doubly funny is that, with some weapons, said headshots are not instantly fatal, meaning you can hear the sound ''repeatedly'' if enough bullets connect with the head.
** Hidden throughout the game are conversations the squad have, about the war, impending death, {{God}}, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking what superpowers they might have,]] the UFC, and who would win in a fight between Wrestling/HulkHogan and Wrestling/BrockLesnar.
-->'''Sweetwater:''' Religion confuses everyone. [[HollywoodAtheist Thankfully I am not held back by that superstition]].
-->'''Redford:''' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion So then what is [morally] good]], Sweet?
-->'''Haggard:''' [[ReligiousBruiser You're fucked. You're fucked!]]
** Assuming you're not a fan of the ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' franchise, the two jokes against Modern Warfare 2 (i.e. the "Special Ops douchebags with pussy-ass heartbeat monitors" and the "Snowmobiles are for sissies!" lines) are screamingly hilarious. Also, the parody of the [[NeverLiveItDown infamous]] [[ThatCameOutWrong "F.A.G.S." - Friends Against Grenade Spamming]] commercial ([[FunWithAcronyms "F.R.A.G.S." - Friends REALLY Against Grenade Spamming]]), where Sweetwater lampoons the idea of "celebrity endorsements" in general, [[spoiler: before the exasperated celebrity in question blows Sweetwater away with [[DeathFromAbove an attack helicopter]].]]
** The Bad Company 1 beta had a glitch where you could crush an allies light tank (the MEC one) by backing up into them in a main battle tank. Instead of just colliding and pushing the smaller tank, your MBT would literally ''drive up it and completely crush it- even causing the wreckage to disappear.''
