 * In multiplayer they always face the Spetsnaz, excluding Black Box and Oasis, where they face the Inner Circle.

 * Their multiplayer announcer is Overlord.
 * All of their missions involve riding a helicopter.
 * Some Delta Force teams that appear in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 appear to be named after earthly substances, e.g. Granite and Onyx Team. Also, several Delta callsigns are based off the NATO phonetic alphabet, such as Whiskey, Yankee, and Foxtrot.
 * Their spawn and defeat theme can be heard in "Goalpost", while the victory theme can be heard in "Black Tuesday".
 * The watches worn by Delta Force members say "Rabbit Time".
