** Hidden Objectives too.

* ''Guadalcanal: Flyboys'': You get to pilot a plane, shooting down enemy Japanese fighters before your pilot, Danny, who's wounded in the face [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere is forced to bail out]]. Then, you have to leave the gunner position and crawl atop the plane ''mid-flight'' to reach the cockpit. You then proceed to fly a plane ''[[FallingIntoTheCockpit with no prior formal experience]] (only getting in a few hours from some Marine recon plane pilots at Henderson)'' through countless enemy fighters and make ace in a day multiple times over as you fly towards your fleet, hitting an uncharted island so hard they can't even send out a distress call before the radio antenna is torn to shreds while on the way, but then you run into a Japanese aircraft carrier and a destroyer who spotted you, which you both sink. At the end of the mission, you manage to land the plane on your carrier just inches away from the edge of the ship. Pretty much BeginnersLuck taken ''UpToEleven''.

* The fact that ''all'' of Conlin's squadmates, including Conlin himself, [[EveryoneLives make it out alive]] by the end of the game. Even the badly wounded [[spoiler: Minoso]], who unfortunately missed out Tarawa, no less.

* The various Hero Moments. Starting from flawlessly shooting at boot camp and rapidly escalating to turning a flak gun on an approaching truck, saving the wounded recon pilot, the aforementioned rifle shootdown of two Zeroes, helping five fighter planes take off while the airfield is being bombed by shooting down dive bombers with AA, saving a wounded ammo runner after making his delivery for him in the middle of an enemy charge, ambushing a Japanese MG crew by sneaking around and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard turning the gun on them]], saving two POWs from a bunker, pulling off an aerial ambush by firing at the perfect moment and nailing a Zero head on, saving the wounded Frank and managing to gun down an AA crew before they can take down a recon plane. You can relieve them in the main menu with voice clips playing.

** Oh and he does this in a torpedo bomber, not a fighter. Against hordes of Zeros, easily the best turn-fighter of the early war, no less.

* Minoso and Conlin surviving a ''huge'' Japanese ZergRush at Bloody Ridge without a scratch, and after the former shows the latter an apparently FatalFamilyPhoto too.

* Sullivan, who turns out to be a BadassBookworm ''and'' a BadassDriver, as proven during the squad's mission on Makin. He pulls off his amazing driving feat again on Tarawa, in order for them to link up with their reinforcements on the other side of the island. Talk about HiddenDepths.
