- Best Level Ever:
- The mission to the mass of ships-turned-base full of brute scavengers in EF1, but most particularly the section that takes place onboard a mirror universe constitution class starship.
- "Virtual Voyager" from the first game is often thought of very highly, as it essentially replicates the entirety of the ship for players to run around in. There are mini-missions to complete, hidden areas, weapons and collectibles to find, and all sorts of entertaining ways to cause chaos and death.
- Goddamned Bats: The Harvesters, Antibodies and Parasites in EF1; the Exomorph Lurkers and Chewers in EF2.
- Les Yay: In EF1, if you play as the female Munro, the flirting between Munro and Telsia doesn't change at all, making it rather unfortunate that you could not play as a female Munro in EF2.
- Memetic Badass: Thanks to Linkara's Let's Play, ENSIGN MUNROOOOOOO!
- The Problem with Licensed Games: Mostly averted. Elite Force was fairly well received (a claim precious few Trek-based games can make), though not free from criticism. For example:
- No Sidepaths, No Exploration, No Freedom: One of the most common complaints leveled at these games is the linear "Point A to Point B" gameplay.
- Porting Disaster: The PS2 version of EF1 was not as well received as its PC counterpart.
- That One Level: The introduction level can be this for some. Specifically, the part where you're supposed to "escape a Borg cube." It's a holodeck simulation, but it still manages to be ludicrously difficult for those who aren't familiar with Voyager.
