* PortingDisaster: The UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 and UsefulNotes/XBox ports of ''Purple Haze'' were not as well-received as the original PC version. It doesn't help that both has fewer levels, not to mention missing many features that are present in the original and levels/cutscenes are heavily simplified.

* GameBreaker: The [=M60=]. MoreDakka? Check. Having lots of ammo? Check. Balanced recoil? Check! It's so broken that it pretty much turns any of its users into [[Franchise/{{Rambo}} John Rambo]] and you can always ask the Engineer for more ammo in Single Player.
** The Engineer in general is this, you essentially have infinite ammo for every US weapon as long as he's around and unlike the Medic there's no penalty that stacks up the more you use him.

Added DiffLines:

* SequelDifficultyDrop: The console version of Purple Haze (Which, unlike the PC version which is just a collection of the first game and Fist Alpha is actually a remade version of the game for [=PS2=].), reduces the difficutly of Fist Alpha's missions while removing some of the harder ones, since they're now the first levels in the game instead of being intended to be played after the original game.

* DifficultySpike: Any section where Hawkins is alone against any number of VC, as the player now has limited healing, can't restock US weapons outside of occasional pick-ups and will be unable to have allies spot enemies for them as well as being very easy to get pinned down and rushed by a group of VC.

** Hawkin's scream when he takes heavy damage, while it does somewhat get across the large amount of pain he's feeling, it ultimately comes off obviously fake.



* AntiClimaxBoss: The NVA colonel in ''Fist Alpha'''s last mission goes down easily like any other enemy. He's also equipped with only a pistol. The [[spoiler:T-34]] in the original counts too, since it never fires its main gun (it only fires its machine gun) and the only things between you and it are a bunch of NVA troops.

original and levels/cutscenes are heavily simplified.
* UnderusedGameMechanic: The Console ports merge Fist Alpha and the Main Game together, while this does allow Hawkins to use the US Fist Alpha weapons in the main game, the VC never use any of the Vietcong Fist Alpha weapons in the campaign, even during the Fist Alpha missions.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Both the original and ''Fist Alpha'' are rated T. Yet, they're full of [[ClusterFBomb Cluster F-Bombs]], not to mention having weapons that can dismember enemies. Averted with ''Purple Haze'' and the second game, which are rated M.
