*** Right after taking the first elevator, shooting a certain light opens a chamber with an Adrenaline item.

!! These levels show examples of:
* BookEnds: The unit starts and ends in the same level, "Receiving Center".
* ConveyorBeltODoom: There are a couple in the "Processing Plant" level. Any prisoners riding them tend to end up in pieces.
* EternalEngine: The unit takes place in a stroyent[[note]]The component isn't given a name until ''VideoGame/QuakeIV'', though this game introduced it.[[/note]] production facility. Said stroyent is generated from human meat which is processed. The source of this meat? Captured prisoners.
* HumanResources: The Strogg use humans as their food supply, as material for creating more Strogg, and as a means to run their machines. You first come up against this nasty aspect of the Strogg in a mission where you have to shut down an alien processing plant.
* OhCrap: The [[TheStoic normally collected]] [[MissionControl communications guy]] over the radio briefly loses his cool in the [[HumanResources "Processing Plant"]] level.
--> ''"We have a confirmed visual on troops being... being disassembled."''
* OneTimeDungeon: You can enter only once to "Sudden Death", the second SecretLevel. After that, there's no way you can go back there.
* PermanentlyMissableContent: The SecretLevel "Sudden Death" (where players may find the Railgun first, and another Quad Damage) can be entered only once, and there's a time limit of 30 seconds where the player must pick up as much as they can. Afterwards the player is returned to the Receiving Center and the level cannot be accessed anymore.
* RoomFullOfCrazy: Mentally-broken marines constantly crying out for help or whispering "kill me now" can be found crawling all over the place. In some cases, the words "kill me" are written on the walls in blood. Those appear in the "Processing Plant" level.
* SecretLevel: "Sudden Death", 30 seconds of "grab everything you can".
* SickeningSlaughterhouse: The "Processing Plant" is a ''human'' slaughterhouse, where prisoners are ground up, boiled alive, and otherwise killed in horrible ways to make [[HumanResources spare parts for new Strogg]] and [[ToServeMan Stroylent.]] Fortunately, you get to shut the whole place down, but even the MissionControl guy [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness who's normally very stoic]] seems stunned by this, as he says "We have confirmed a visual on troops being (huge pause) being [[DeadlyEuphemism "disassembled".]]
