Template Status
Would it be alright to update the page's header template from upcoming to now showing to reflect the Christmas debut, or wait for the full release in January? Orca1 9904 (talk) 18:03, 25 December 2014 (EST)
- I'd be inclined to wait 'til the full release, but ultimately the fact it's on a partial release is irrelevant - The 'Now Showing' template is still technically correct, while the 'unreleased' template is now technically incorrect. Plus it'd have be to be changed at some point anyway, so may as well do it now. It still otherwise notes it's unavailable for capping outside of official images and trailers/clips, which I think is the central point. StanTheMan (talk) 22:24, 25 December 2014 (EST)
- IMDB has it as 2014. --Funkychinaman (talk) 09:49, 26 December 2014 (EST)
Marine Uniform Authenticity
I noticed in some of the screenshots that the Marines were wearing desert MARPAT uniforms with woodland camo Interceptor vests. I was under the impression the USMC stopped using woodland-patterned vests at about the same time as they stopped using the 6-color DCU uniforms?

- The USMC used woodland-patterned vests all the way through to the Second Battle of Fallujah in November 2004, and you can see it in many of the photos taken of the battle. The coyote brown variant of the Interceptor wasn't produced until after the invasion of Afghanistan (and the Interceptor only started mass production in 1999) so it is accurate for the Marines to be wearing a mix of coyote-brown and woodland vests . --Markit (talk) 23:56, 5 January 2015 (EST)
M14s look like M1As
They lack the selector switches on the receiver. 05:27, 5 January 2015 (EST)
