I finally pulled the trigger on COD: Ghosts a few weeks ago. They can't seem to get their ranks straight. I went through the entire game assuming Elias Walker was a Captain in the navy. He lived in a nice house in a nice neighborhood in San Diego with two adult kids, that would suggest he was a retired O-6. It wasn't until I collected all the Rorke files that I realized he was an Army O-3. Given that he was referred to as "Lieutenant" in the Legends Never Die mission, and he had to be in the late forties given the ages of his sons, he was an O-2 in his mid-thirties? (In the same mission, Merrick is wearing a Rangers t-shirt and addressed as "Sergeant," yet his file says he's a Navy SEAL.) And in Sin City, Rorke refers to Logan "defending his captain," like it was a title rather than a rank.
As a space dork, the thing that bothers me the most is the fact that the space wreckage in No Man's Land and Stonehaven is clearly Skylab, complete with an Apollo CM and SM still attached. It couldn't have come from orbit, since Skylab deorbitted in 1979 and mostly burnt up on reentry. My only explanation is the the wreckage is from a plane carrying a mockup.
