* CassandraTruth: He's the only person to note that almost every higher-ranking soldier than Mitchell always dies (Colonel Cue and Lieutenant Harvey) to Captain Roosevelt in order to warn him. For all the good it does.

* ItsAllAboutMe: He spends the entire game trying to kill Freeman for acting in self-defense. Nevermind the fact that he's humanity's last hope and the only reason they have a chance against the Combine. He raises what amounts to a brainwashed army of child soldiers and turns them over to the Combine just for a shot at killing Freeman. When it's revealed that Adam was his true attacker, Mitchell drops his vendetta against Freeman entirely, despite Freeman still being responsible the deaths of many of his brothers-in-arms, making it apparent that Mitchell was more outraged that he was personally humiliated than the loss of his teammates.

Nice work, Mitchell, now there's no way of knowing the true motive behind this "deal".

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Uses a shortened pump-action shotgun and later on a double barreled shotgun. He makes use of the pump-action more often in cutscenes, in one particular cutscene he actually "stabs" it into a Headcrab Zombie and shoots two others while using its body to pump it.

* ComplexityAddiction: The G-Man's "plan", so to speak, hinges on the random H.E.C.U. grunt he set up to be wounded by "Gordon Freeman" to survive the assault, actually ''believing'' his attacker to even ''be'' Gordon, then [[ItsPersonal brew up a huge enough grudge against the physicist]] to eat out of the G-Man's hand to obtain "authority, power, and time", just so he can be utilized as a pawn two decades later as a minor distraction for the Combine. Given what we knew at the time (and certainly now with the expanded lore provided by ''VideoGame/HalfLifeAlyx'') of the extent of the G-Man's canonical powers, the entire plan is comes across as needlessly complex in achieving and relies heavily on manipulating numerous pawns against each other, only to achieve what appears to be a simple goal.
