Trivia

 * The story takes place two weeks after the ODIN Strike crashed into earth.
 * The time in Point of Contact is simply shown as July 24 9:15:16.
 * In the beginning of Point of Contact, the soldier who gives you the drill says "... things haven't been the same since we unearthed them." This suggests that maybe the aliens were buried underground and discovered.
 * In contrast, in the background screen for the loadout, a red/orange meteorite striking the Earth is seen, so the aliens arrival on Earth is debatable.
 * The special Seeker aliens also come from meteorites further showing that the Aliens come from space and were not buried.
 * The soldier could also be saying that the meteorites were sealed and they dug into them, hence why he might say "unearthed them."
 * On the back side of the Motel sign, the letters lit up spell "LOL". An Internet acronym for "Laughing Out Loud"
 * If the letters "LOL" are shot in order with any weapon (preferably a Sniper Rifle) on any side of the sign, the phrase will appear across the screen in bright blue and purple text. Every alien the player then kills for ninety seconds will explode into a pile of golden alien plush toys similar to those seen in the upstairs room of Nuketown 2025 in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
 * Gil's Lodge is a reference to Eminem, who in real life worked at Gilbert's Lodge in Detroit when he was still an unknown local rapper.
