<div class="IPBDescription">tactical usage</div>How about having some smoke grenades for marines?
Not a simple smoke grenade, but very SF-like special smoke.
The smokes blockes alien's sight almost completely. Even at Alien Vision.
But marines can see enemies through smokes as blue hologramic outline(silhouette, may similar to Left 4 Dead or just like Motion Tracker of previous Natural Selection mod.), so they can damage them or track them.
This would be very scientific stuff and also tactical when ambushing.

A smoke would just destroy your own LOS.
That would be the same as drifter flares though.
Perhaps the grens produce heat, like 37° to 45°C, so the
alien vision ist blocked and they are forced to switch.
This will sometimes give a suprising advantage for the marines.
espacially in dark rooms ;).
I highly doubt this will be added though because UWE hasn't added anything like this in NS1 and it doesn't seem very futuristic. Also most rooms in NS2 aren't hallways but rather big open rooms so it would be kind of pointless to just have a ball of smoke in a huge open room. Would end up really just helping out Aliens more than marines so marines would never use it. Unless you use something like my idea, but still it would be almost useless.

Alien vision isn't heat based, it's sonar based

i like it but how do you suppose you'll work out the logistics on that. exactly.
