1) ND features advanced tactical gameplay that challenges players to really understand their class, and how to overcome its shortcomings. (advanced gameplay)

2) Because of the fusion of FPS and RTS, there is so much more to do in every map, across every game mode. Seeking resources, securing vantage points for outpost construction, scouting the ruins for advanced weaponry blueprints, and commanding the entire RTS side of gameplay are all viable options when you need to take a break from just killing the other side.

3) It's a modern setting with advanced weaponry that never goes silly with science fiction. The weapons and player classes have variable tactical uses, and really get players thinking. Twitch headshots with an AK47 are a thing of the past, ND rewards planning and forethough, as well as reflexes and bloodlust.

4) There are a couple of completely different gameplay modes, from Deathmatch to the full ND experience. Each gameplay mode will pit players against different challenges, from being lone operatives in the field of battle, to participating in large scale battles with RTS buildings and more.

5) It's administrator-friendly, with an open and extensible server-side architecture that will allow everyone to customize their ideal gaming solution.
