1) You will never.......never however hard you try be able to see your feet!

2)If a ledge or wall is only waist height you sill won't be able to jump on it. I mean you could climb or something counld't you?

3)Even though there are loads of thing in a room all you can do is switches, doors, keys...etc... How about a secreat passage under the sofa?!!?

4) Try to blow your feet off when rocket jumping?!?!

5)Why do the AI always try the run, shoot, run shoot manouver?! The only game I have seen where enymies acually hide is Turok2 and The Rainbox six genre.

6) Even if you blown up a massive monster or a diddly squat spider, armour will ALWAYS FIT YOU!

7)You always float in water! What about that chainsaw or waterlogged weapons or getting sunk to bottom.

Climbing would be slow, its better to simply have the games in a fast pace enviroment

More and more programming on trivial things delays games and prevents more important features from making it in

Oh the Quake manuevour, try it Goldeneye and you die, just like real life :)

Try the simulants in Perfect Dark, or even the in game characters. AI is spec hungry but will improve as time goes on
