Trivia

  • When GameSpot initially began code distribution on November 15, 2011, the PS3 codes were non-functional and the Xbox codes were claimed to be for Assassin's Creed DLC instead. Three days later, GameSpot updated the site with the correct codes for the Patriot.[1][2]
    • The codes were only redeemable in North America, which was not indicated on the GameSpot website until December.
  • In the Italian version of Ace Combat Infinity, the small description text for the F-16C -Patriot- instead shows the text used for the F/A-18F -Red Devils- 4 Star Aircraft.png.
