Environmental effects, namely fog and long distance blur, breathe new beauty into a dated game engine.

You can finally feel fear again from creepier looking and sounding monsters to mechanics like batteries that force you to keep that wind up flash light handy because your 2nd gen night vision just won't last forever. Also they hit the nail on the head with the new food system, that crap ain't cheap and more often than not you probably won't have looted more than one at a time so rationing and purchase decisions actually effect game play.

Weapons are far more interesting now.

Artifacts are closer to where they were back in SoC where you won't just have radiation as a side effect and there's much more debate and builds involved with their application.

The classes system is also pretty awesome, one to encourage every play style.

Scavenging is viable now along with a more balanced yet harsh economy, being a heavy assaulter, anomlies will crap me out dead but I've made more than enough money from stashes to looting corpses to get me by.

All in all I adore this game, I'm personally a difficulty junky from Diablo 2 HC (and diablo 3 but that game was fail) and dead space 2 hardcore mode, so this game is right up my alley, I just wish I had never played CoP until now because the Misery experience is incomparable.
