** The Kill Hitler mission has many problems with initially-narrow, single-path progression: in order to get to the Berghof, you ''must'' go through a tunnel, though at least there's things in the tunnel to hide behind. The problem is ''horrifically'' pronounced during an Axis invasion: the enemy sniper ''knows'' that you have to walk through that tunnel, and no matter what you do, the sniper will get a chance to hit you. Your only hope is to run and pray that they miss.

* ThatOneLevel: Secret Weapons takes a Herculean effort to complete on Authentic. There are many objectives to complete, lots of patrolling vehicles, and [[EliteMooks elite]] snipers fucking ''everywhere'' who can spot you from miles away, and are either covered by another sniper or surrounded by other soldiers. If you trigger an alert near one of them, you might as well restart the level as they'll kill you almost instantly, or alert all nearby enemies. Also, sneaking into the base is pretty much a necessity at the highest difficulty due to the snipers, machine gunners and the King Tiger at the main entrance right in a wide open field.

** The third mission, Spy Academy, takes a big DifficultySpike. Although the level itself is among the most [[SceneryPorn gorgeous in the game]], it comes at the cost of its ''very'' restrictive map design, with enemies hiding within buildings and a labyrinthine road leading uphill that forces Karl to fight through chokepoints after chokepoints, culminating in a close-quarter combat section within the Cathedral itself. In other words, aside from the beginning section, this level goes against ''everything'' that a sniper should do, as noted in the TheyChangedItNowItSucks below.

** A major point of criticism is the more-restricted map design, which limits sniping opportunities and encourages close-quarters shootouts, which kind of goes against the game's title.
