* AKA47: Subverted. Most weapons featured keep their real names.

** Sometimes when throwing grenade, they don't mind a grenade hitting an obstacle and bounce back in their face.

* HollywoodSilencer: Some pistols come with silencers by default, and the sound they make is what you would expect. The most bizzare case, however, is the massive Barrett sniper rifle (which in real life cannot be suppressed) also makes a standard Hollywood "poof" sound when fired.

* SuperSoldiers: You control a squad of these.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: The Satyrs enemy can assume appearance of civilians. Similarly, the "Cellular Mimicry" ability of agent Creep can copy the appearance of humanoid enemies for a short while.
