  • Enforced Method Acting: In an interview, Michael Akkerman explains to have had the actors actually play out their scenes, so as to achieve a more realistic performance.

  • Hey, It's That Sound!: A lot of the gun effects may sound familiar to those used in the Medal of Honor series. That's because they are.
