Trivia[]
- Both players cannot die at the same time. For example, if a grenade rolls next to them, one will always survive the blast.
- In an oversight for both games, the dialogue said by playable characters when reloading includes "Changing mag!" and "I'm out!", even if their weapon doesn't have a detachable magazine or wasn't empty.
