* [[Sniping Mission]]: You can take over the Sniper's role if you wish.

* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: In Raven Shield one mission has you return to Gospic's mansion to kill everyone as ''Ave Maria'' plays in the background rather than the occasional burst of tense thriller music. The parade mission also has the sounds of a party in full swing, lounge music in a bar and laid back beats in a motel, contrasting the earlier mission's haunting tone with [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] even if it seems out of place.

* [[Soft Glass]]: in Vegas you can just kick your way into the window, or just break the glass window using the buttstock.

* [[Sorting Algorithm of Weapon Effectiveness]]: This is subverted in ''Vegas 2''. The game has a point system where you unlock new weapons as you play through the game. The subversion is that the weapons with the best overall stats are the default ones you start the game with.

* [[Stop Helping Me!]]: Played with in ''Vegas 2''. The NSA Agent [[Exposition Fairy]] keeps radioing you whenever you're busy with a firefight against terrorists. Your character even mentions how distracting this is. {{spoiler|Turns out he's [[The Mole]], and deliberately radioing you at bad times in an attempt to get you killed}}.

* [[Teleporting Keycard Squad]]: Overused in the more recent games. Even the original series did it in some really annoying places, e.g. after rescuing hostages. The good guys do it too, in the final mission in ''Vegas 2'', Logan's Charlie Team seems to show up out of nowhere.

** Made especially obvious in the ''Vegas'' games with the inclusion of a thermal scan (basically heat-based radar), where you can activate it, walk into a purportedly empty section of the level and watch as a half-dozen armed heat sources spontaneously appear, come out of hiding and fire at you.

* [[Third Person Seductress]]: One of the female Bishop's potential uniforms is a rather tactically impractical low-cut tank top. Which is for naught, as almost any player will wear a bulletproof vest, at minimum.

* [[Those Wacky Nazis]]: The first mission in Rainbow Six dealt with 'Free Europe', a band of Neo-Nazis. Raven Shield also mainly dealt with these guys.

* [[Trial and Error Gameplay]]: In spades for the original trilogy.
