* AcceptableBreaksFromReality: Obviously a guy with a .30-cal rifle can't really destroy a tank by shooting its gas cap. However, it is sufficiently difficult to pull off in-game, especially without first making a ranging shot (or a miss) that alerts the tank--and its big-ass gun--to your presence that doing so counts as a MomentOfAwesome

* VideogameCrueltyPotential: Shoot to wound. Then shoot (ideally, shoot to wound) anyone who comes to help the wounded man as he cries out for help. He'll die without treatment after a few minutes, and you can just sit there and watch, or practice your grenade-lobbing skills, or run a good distance away and shoot him with the sniper rifle for long-distance kill points.
** This can be a very useful method if you're facing lots of enemies in cover and need to even the odds. WarIsHell.
* UsefulNotes/WorldWarII: Played with. While the backdrop is very clearly the end of WWII, the setting is less about the end of the World Wars-era and more about the opening shots of the ColdWar.

* SamusIsAGirl: You probably won't know it until the Kill Camera gives you a close look, and/or you hear them screaming, but some of the Soviet snipers you tangle with are women.

** In the reboot, this even follows into the opponent's body with x-ray cutaways of the bullet piercing their organs and shattering bones. Ick.



** The reboot also has highly effective landmines. The tutorial even teaches you to boobytrap enemy corpses with them, as the AI is prone to run over and check any dead body found.



** In the reboot, you can "focus" while scoped, slowing down into bullet time for a few seconds while you make your shot.
