AC-130/Trivia

==Miscellaneous==
*In the movie The A-Team, the A-Team is betrayed again and ambushed by an AC-130. Agent Lynch watches the attack through his laptop, and remarks "Wow. That's awesome. Looks just like Call of Duty, doesn't it?" after using it. The footage on the laptop looks very similar to "Death From Above".
==Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare==
*Using the "noclip" console command on the PC version of "Death From Above", one can see that there is actually no AC-130.
*Enemies in "Death from Above" originally were to be marked with blinking corners. This can be enabled through console. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer they were replaced with red boxes.
==Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2==
*The Call of Duty 4 10th prestige emblem is unlocked by completing the AC-130 prestige challenge (1000 AC-130 kills).
*If the player is able to go to the AC-130 on spectate they can see that the propellers are actually not moving and that when they fire the guns, the ammunition is actually shot from behind the plane rather than the gun.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cym3az1195c
*The in-game model for the AC-130 is actually very small, about the size of a UAV. This can be observed in Spectator mode or when attempting to destroy it with a Predator missile.
*The "Spectre" challenge is a reference to the AC-130H's nickname "Spectre".
*The "Death From Above" challenge is a reference to the level in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, where the player controls an AC-130.
**The emblem unlocked shows an AC-130 flying away and deploying its flares.
*Completing the "AC-130 Veteran II" Challenge unlocks a title with an AC-130. It says "Angel of Death" on it, referencing the pattern of the AC-130's flares.
*When selecting the reward in multiplayer it is left to right, but the Emblem version of the AC-130 icon goes right to left.
*The AC-130 will also pop flares as it is flying away, even if it isn't being fired at by lock-on missiles.
==Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3==
*On Campaign, AC-130 Gunner AI will fire 40mm two times faster than player but the Area of Effect damage will be reduced by 50% from player's 40mm Area of Effect damage.
*The 40mm and 25mm guns have unique firing sounds in the campaign that are not used in multiplayer.
==Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)==
*If the player is in the Allegiance team and calls for a Gunship, the Russian Gunship Pilot will sometimes remark "(Rhino 2-3 on station), death from above.” when the player has full control of the Gunship. This is a reference to the campaign mission "Death From Above" in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
*The gunship model only has two visible guns, despite the player being able to control three weapon systems.
== Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War ==
* The AC-130 the player controls at the end of “End of The Line” does not have 105 millimeter rounds.
== Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II ==
* The AC-130 used in the missions Close Air and Hardpoint appears to be an AC-130J "Ghostrider" or an AC-130W "Stinger II." This is implied by the use of Air-to-Ground Missiles. However, this becomes problematic due to the gameplay use of the 40mm BOFORs cannon, which does not feature on either of the two above mentioned variants.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_AC-130#Specifications_(AC-130)
* Also, in the cutscenes for the two above mentioned missions, the AC-130 is implied to have a 105mm howitzer, however, it is not used for gameplay.
