Has anyone here besides me played both AP and NOLF2? As I play through Alpha Protocol, I keep thinking that it could have used some of the elements from NOLF2, like gadgets (the disappearing body-powder, noise-makers, the exploding robot kittens,) and some of the stealth systems. I particularly liked NOLF2's safe spots - hidden niches where you could duck in and hide, and if you were still long enough, could effectively become invisible until enemies left the area.

NOLF2 is similar in how you can upgrade your character through completing primary and secondary objectives. The intel in NOLF2 is mainly for experience and background.
