    Infestation - When you remember back to how it was in NS1, you really appreciate the impact it has on the game now.

    Heat vision.
    it needs to be more organic though, it's not like the aliens have heat vision goggles, they have heat sensors.

    Asymmetrical gameplay. Always creates the most depth in games, look at Savage 1/2, ET: Quake Wars, and of course NS1 and 2. :)

    - The Comm (both alien and marine)

    FPS and RTS are my two favorite genres that it was inevitable that I would start playing in a genre that combines both.

    Deferred Lighting!

    I find rendering engine really amazing in this game, ever since the first tech video was released with all placeholder Khaara models it struck me how atmoshperic can a sci-fi game be. The only gripe is about the dull scenery and monotonous color choice that makes all maps and corridors look nondifferentiable. I recall NS1 levels featured virtually every color in the palette imaginable, including all shades of pink, beige, magenta and yellow. Now it's all black gloom and doom ;). But still, it has a great potential even if for further games built on it.

    Why do this to us. My friend who does not even have the game(yet) is drooling at the very idea. Imagine what it does to your actual playerbase...

    The 'dynamic environment' though its only half way to what you read in the official product description.

    Hmm, my "single favorite ns2 feature" was at the first announce of ns2, the dynamic infestation, which isn't sadly in and i guess will not come in.
    I guess my favorite feature of ns2 are the effects/particles, it just looks amazing how some effects/particles looks.
