• Shooting holes through doors in Resident Evil 4. Also putting-up/kicking-down ladders. Pushing boxes in-front of doors too.
• The A.I in Resident Evil 4. Being able to shoot them in their hand to make them drop their weapon, or in the arm, leg or face. They move out of the way or put their hand up to block the impact of the bullet from hitting their head. They can climb over fences and they can also break through windows and bang-on/open doors. They can set ladders up and climb up them. They sometimes through things too.

Totally agreed, one of my favourite things about RE4 was all these little touches. Pushing a cabinet in front of a door then blowing a hole in the door to shoot through it at the bad guys trying to break in was mind-blowingly cool back in the day, even most modern games don't have that kind of interactivity. And then you hear glass break upstairs cos while you were guarding the door they used a ladder to break into the second floor...
I also like how Leon will turn his head to look at enemies, bats, etc, or how he'll shield himself from nearby explosions, how when you harpoon the first boss they stay embedded in him and he leaves a trail or blood in the water, the invisible insect baddies being able to be spotted by their dripping saliva if you look closely enough, just so many awesome details.
