The Atari 7200 port contains text hidden in the game's coding, which reads "MOMMY AND ME ARE ONE." This text is a paraphrasing of a 1985 experiment on the effects of subliminal messages on the unconscious mind, where the phrase "Mommy and I are one" was allegedly effective at raising self-motivation.

Attachment Unused coding and sound files remaining in the game show that at one time the MH-6 Little Bird was to be a pilotable killstreak reward, instead of just delivering care packages and appearing in the campaign.

It can be restored through modding the game, but is hard to pilot, and will clip through the terrain.

There are quite a few base potions in the game's code that were left with no method to craft them in 1.9 beta pre-release 3. These potions include: Clear, Diffuse, Artless, Thin, Bungling, Suave, Smooth, Debonair, Charming, Refined, Cordial, Sparkling, Potent, Rank, Acrid, Gross, and Stinky.

While they can still be obtained using commands, they have no effect, and take the appearance of a water bottle.

Attachment An L-train was planned to be used as an interactive element in at least one multiplayer map. Scripting and a kill icon can still be found in the games code, however, none of the released maps feature a subway system, so it's unknown where this might have been used.

The script reveals that it would have been a 24-car train, causing rumble effects, moving at 1200 units/second every 100-200 seconds, shaking the screen of anybody standing nearby and killing anyone standing in its path.

The unlockable skill "Gender Wars" for the character Purna was referred to during development as "Feminist Whore". The original name along with alternate names for some of her other skills, which were "TeamSpirit1Purna", "SharpApprenticePurna" and "FeministWhorePurna", were found in the game's code of the non-retail version which had been accidentally released onto Steam. Techland came out to apologize over the incident and told that the developer responsible for the inappropriate names would "face professional consequences for violating the professional standards and beliefs Techland stands for."

Attachment The weapon Shuraba was intended to have an animation where the sword's pulsing heart would show on the hilt of the sword when the weapon was fully charged. During development, the developers forgot to put the animation on the weapon, so the animation does not appear in the game, but the code still exists.

The game fails to save any data once turned off, even though a save feature was coded into the game. According to Stewart Gilray, director of development at the time of the game's release, hardware issues stopped this feature from working.

"We created the game to allow saves etc, but for some reason, I'm guessing budgetary, Ubisoft at the last minute decided to NOT manufacture the game with EEPROM save memory."

Stewart Gilray also went on to state that saving the game does work when using a flash cart or playing the game through emulation, and that he would "encourage people that play it to play it on a backup cart just so to allow saving."
