Without these, we might have a perfectly good game but it might not run so well in practice.
- Mouselock API. Without this, FPS games are basically impossible because the mouse eventually moves off the screen.
- Keyboard input during mouselock. Current implementations of mouselock are tied to fullscreen mode, and for security fullscreen mode currently disables keyboard input.
- Faster JavaScript. We are expecting significant speedups in Chrome and Firefox through a combination of optimization for compiled code and general JS engine improvements later in 2012.
- MediaStreams Audio API in Firefox (the existing Audio Data API works, but introduces lag). Need to test Chrome's audio API.
- Update: We actually did not need any of the fancy new audio APIs - plain old HTML Audio elements work ok (in most browsers, but where they don't, those are bugs they need to fix).
- Various WebGL extensions important for performance and visual quality (occlusion queries, antialiasing, etc.).
- Update: Performance is reasonable without occlusion queries if the map can use PVS. Antialiasing works in browsers now and looks good.
