Helo extraction at the end of Mission 1, Chapter 1 of Call of Duty 4. The blackhawk is painted Air Force Gray, has Royal Air Force markings and roundel, the pilot is a true-blue american, and in the pilot & copilot seats are 2 Russian Spetsnaz dudes with fur caps.
Or Mission 2, the air insertion: USMC does NOT use blackhawks. Or the Mk19 with unlimited ammo: the MK19 is not used as a side gun on the CH-46. Or the unlimited ammo of the AC-130U in Death From Above (in the mission before, there are only 4 survivors of the Blackhawk crash: Soap, Gaz, Nikolai & Price. In Death From Above, which starts minutes after the mission where Price calls in thunder from above, the merry party has expanded to eight people by sheer force of magic. Which is surprising considering that the SAS party was only 3 people and the Spetsnaz people weren't picked up by that Blackhawk).
Does the player care? Fuck no; Death From Above is a Crowning Level of Awesome.
The player suspends his disbelief, sits back, and plays. (And actual, serving military personnel who've played CoD4 have no problems suspending disbelief. Even AC-130 crewmen.)
