@Collision_TN Beat me to it. Nice write up.
I'd like to add a bit of lore. For the opening mission of Bad Company 2, you play during WWII as a US Marine on a top secret mission, code-named Operation Aurora, to secure and extract a Japanese defector named Watanabe. This individual is a scientist who was working on a secret weapon for the Japanese government, feared to be on a similar scale to that of the USA's atomic bomb. On 6 October 1944 at 06:00, the US Marines depart somewhere from the Sea of Japan onto Japanese soil (the exact location is unknown). As they attempt to make their getaway with the defecting scientist, an ominous, low bass "horn" can be heard twice, followed by a flash of light that blinds the area. The EMP scalar weapon had gone off at around 06:20. None of the Marines or the scientist is thought to have survived.
With this Solomon Islands EE (named "Tricky"), upon pressing the third and final button, you'll hear Wabun code that reads as "Weapon". Soon afterwards, you'll hear the exact same low bass "horn" noise from Bad Company 2.
Some thoughts and curiosities that come to mind... Will the WWII story from BC2 go into more detail in BFV? Is it something more crazy like, did completing the "Tricky" EE in BFV somehow set off the scalar weapon in Bad Company 2? Is it a hint at the next BF title - BC3? Lots of questions...
Awesome little callback

Not too long ago last month, "Dutch" was found on Solomon Islands.
You can see the Predator's neon green blood.
Note that since this is in Spectator mode, the second half of Dutch wasn't seen as it requires a player in the game to reveal it (as confirmed by DICE's senior designer Niklas Astrand).
That green blood had to of come from somewhere...

I thought the presence of the predator had already been shared. It's a bad bug in the jungle.
