Dynamic Infestation.
ระบบผู้บัญชาการเอเลี่ยน
ไม่สามารถปีนบันไดได้แล้ว (twitter post).
Skulk is tougher and more maneuverable. Runs slower but starts off with leap rather than having it unlocked with a second hive (NSPlayer interview).
ตัดการกัดของ Lerk ออกไปแล้วใช้ หนามโจมตีแทน
Skulk ยังสามารถ bunnyhop ได้อยู่ (Forum Post by Dux)
Gorge ได้ความสามารถใหม่ที่ชื่อ Damage Soak. Spit has changed, including an added alt-fire: a short range version which is good against buildings. Loses Web and Bile Bomb.
Fade has the new blink mechanic previously from the first build of NS(Twitter update).
Onos gains a new ability Bone Shield. Gore and Stomp abilities gain a disruptive element, knocking back or temporarily disabling marines and marine structures. Loses Devour and Charge.
Eggs are created by Nymphs and do not necessarily mean a player is gestating inside.
Can build hives in more places, including Marine Start because it is a Tech Point on the Power Grid.
Chambers no longer unlock upgrades, this is instead done by the Alien Commander.
All abilities have an alt-fire (Podcast #5 at 15:52).

ระบบการเล่น

No official combat game mode will ship with NS2.
Maps are smaller: instead of a sprawling network of halls and non-rooms, maps are made up of 6-10 rooms, each with a "landmark" (lighting, custom props, theme) to help players characterize it easily (Forum post by Charlie).
Unified resource model to balance the teams for team sizes from small to large (NSPlayer interview).
There is not random map generation built into NS2 (Forum post by Max).
