1* BackedByThePentagon: Both games received technical advice from actual Tier One operators in the U.S. military. Unfortunately it later turned out that these operators ''did not'' have Pentagon permission to advise on the games for ''both'' occasions, and they were subsequently disciplined, making this a SubvertedTrope.
2* FranchiseKiller: ''Warfighter'' was so poorly received that [=EA=] ended up putting the entire ''Medal of Honor'' series on hiatus, with many critics mocking it for personifying all the negative aspects of the Modern Military Shooter genre. It didn't help that the series was competing with the similarly themed ''Battlefield'' series, which was also owned by [=EA=] and performing much better on the market.
3* RealSongThemeTune: Both games used a theme song by Music/LinkinPark. The 2010 reboot carried "The Catalyst", the main single of ''A Thousand Suns''. ''Warfighter'' had "Castle of Glass" from ''Living Things''.
