- The entire Panama bank mission. A very open-ended mission that allows you multiple paths of entry into the bank, a wise-cracking Boxed Crook talking you through breaking open the vault, and Sam pulling off a robbery that would impress the Ocean's Eleven crew. And the best part is that stealing the money isn't even the point, it's just there to throw off the investigators.Fisher: Lambert, now that I'm holding 50 million bucks, I think we need to talk about that raise again...Lambert: Hmm. 25 cents an hour and not a penny more.Fisher: Deal.
- A small one, but one that really speaks to Sam's characterization. During the second part of the mission to Seoul, South Korea, an American spy plane that was supposed to purge some incriminating data the North Koreans would use to justify their invasion gets shot down, so Sam has to climb up a scaffolding and designate the plane wreckage for an airstrike to destroy the data. What the game doesn't tell the player is the bodies of the pilots can be moved away from the wreckage. The following exchanges happen if you go the extra mile.
- The Mexican Standoff at the end of the Tokyo Bathhouse mission. "Blood is thicker than water, Sam. I know you. And I know you wouldn't shoot an old friend." Sam has two potential responses to this statement by Douglas Shetland. The first is to shoot him. The second is to put his Five-Seven away. Shetland goes for his own gun, and Sam stabs him through the heart with his combat knife. Either way ends with Sam chucking Shetland's corpse through a paper wall to fall and splash unceremoniously into a bathhouse vat, with the Bond One-Liner "You were right, Doug. I ''wouldn't shoot'' an old ''friend''." The implication of both eventualities is awesome.
