Trivia

He has one of the fastest Pit completion times, at 28.7 seconds.
In the campaign remaster, Ramirez is visible from the Predator in "Wolverines!".
Due to Ramirez being given orders so frequently (a total of 56 scripted times during the campaign, usually given by Sgt. Foley), this has created a meme among players entitled "RAMIREZ! DO EVERYTHING!" which usually features a poster of Sgt. Foley giving impossible or absurd orders.
