Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City/notes


 * Early previews suggested that there were only four playable U.S.S. characters, However, after the E3 2011, Lupo and Four Eyes were introduced as the members of the Wolfpack.


 * Some interesting notes regarding the differences between the costumes of the original game's classic characters and Operation Raccoon City: Leon wears no bandages on his chest from getting wounded by Annette Birkin, Claire's jacket is never given to Sherry following her infection, and Jill's jacket is missing from around her waist.


 * A number of B.O.W.s and irregular mutants seen in other portrayals of Raccoon City do not appear in this game, and only one new B.O.W. -the Nemesis Beta - was introduced.


 * Operation Raccoon City surpassed the two Outbreak titles as the game with the most weapons of the franchise.


 * The demo of E3 2011 included a chapter called "No Survivors", with the objective to hunt Leon and Claire after the fuel tank track crash, resembling the opening of Resident Evil 2. In the final product, the chapter was loosely changed and merged with chapter 5, "Expendable".


 * It is interesting to note that any recreated cut-scene in this game from RE2 or RE3 has the original lines of dialogue.


 * The only former S.T.A.R.S. member to appear is Jill Valentine, who makes an appearance in Heroes Mode and the upcoming Spec Ops DLC. Barry and Chris are shown in the Gone Rogue opening scene, while Brad Vickers and Rebecca Chambers make no appearance whatsoever.


 * In the final product, a lot of the weapons had design changes from the real life based models. The differences can be seen in the Kendo Gunshop catalog from Inserted Evil.


 * Some weapons in the game are anachronistic; that is, their real-life production occurred long after the events of September 1998, when the game is set. An example is the Advanced SMG, which was based off of the TDI Vector, a weapon which started production during 2006.


 * In the Saint Michael Clock Tower, the Moonlight Sonata can be heard looped in the chapel/piano room area as a reference to RE1. However, the song was never heard in Resident Evil 2 or Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.


 * The classes for both teams are reversed in gender with Recon, Surveillance, and Demolitions in U.S.S being male and Spec Ops being female. Medic, Assault, and Field Scientist were female in the U.S.S. and male in Spec Ops.
 * Depending on the game's copy, Nicholai pronounced his surname as 'Zinoviev' whereas the subtitles show it as 'Ginovaef'.
