Colonial Marines use have text to speech, although it caused a fair amount of lag.
Aliens could strip marines in their nests of certain clothes and items.
If you stood one tile directly in front of the HMG there was a bug which allowed you to not be hit by the bullets as they only appeared on the second tile in front of the HMG not the first.
Custom events were plentiful, some of which being: Necromorphs, The Re-enactment of 1812, Space Marines, Aka Bruva Spess, Borers, Zombies and more.
Firing a taser at a xeno would slow it down.
