* DifficultySpike: On Sniper Elite Difficulty, starting with the mission to retrieve documents from a Soviet outpost, the game experiences a sharp spike in difficulty. Enemy sniper teams ambush the player starting the difficulty spike. The enemy snipers have perfect aim, reflexes, and later missions have multiple enemy snipers appearing in various locations to ambush the player. Two sniper shots can kill the player outright and the only way to locate the enemy is to have them shoot at you or get lucky and spot the light glinting off their scope as they take aim at you. Add in that the player has to account for both bullet drop and wind affecting their shot in addition to being wounded by an enemy shot throwing off your aim.

* CompleteMonster: [[MadScientist Dr. Wolff]] is one of the heads of the V2 rocket program that Karl Fairburne is tasked with assassinating. To start off, he willingly sells out his own country's military secrets to the Soviets, and convinces his colleagues, including his own superior, to try to do the same. When [[TokenGoodTeammate Dr. Efram Schweiger]], one of his colleagues, tries to defect to the Western Allies, he promptly orders his execution without any remorse. His plan to prove his loyalty to the Soviets involves the latter capturing a V2 launch site intact, which includes the Russians having his own country's soldiers executed, something he turns a blind eye to; the plan itself involves launching a V2 rocket loaded with an experimental [[DeadlyGas Tabun warhead]] at London, and them promptly [[FalseFlagOperation blaming the remnants of the Wehrmacht]].

** Karl's pre-mission voiceovers seem a little too macho sounding to be taken seriously, especially compared to the original game, which gave him a much softer voice that sounded believably like a sniper who habitually speaks quietly.

* FridgeBrilliance: Why do you get so little ammunition from enemy corpses? Because both the Germans and Russians are running low too! Berlin is surrounded so the Germans aren't going to be getting resupplied any time soon and the Russians are at the end of their supply lines.

Considering the long, long, Long antagonism between the West and and the Soviets, the number of Soviets and Westerners who died fighting *against* each other, and Joseph Stalin\'s well recorded Axe Crazy behavior, this is a little bit much. The average Ivan or Boris grunt probably isn\'t subscribing to the idea of an unprovocated attack, but they don\'t have a say in the matter. In contrast, their commanders were monstrous sociopaths who easily could and did plan to do it if they had the chance.

Bearing in mind the millions of Soviets who lost their lives fighting ''on the same side'' as the Allies in the real thing, this could easily seem a tad disrespectful.
