1.2 is not current svn (2.4.x) We're talking about current things (I don't think it exists anymore). No cheat is listed for flare gun, not in current nexuiz.

Why a seperate mode? Now we can have many weapons in _addition_ to the standard 9. For instance I would have axes and crossbows hanging on the walls of the castles I make. They would be special weapons, not considered part of the "core" weapons. I dislike that everytime we talk of additional weapons someone demands it be in a seperate game mode.

In the past that was needed.
Now the new weaps can be decorations that you could pick up if wished.

That is a good idea, like knives, and the axes, when you throw them, could they decapitate people?
Or use shurikens.

I DO like your idea of using those weapons as interactive pieces of the environment... but you seem to kind of agree with the "separate game mode" thing, when you talk about having them on the walls of castle/medieval maps. Again, I think that sounds really cool, but would be out of place in say, space maps (o how i hate them ).

Also, what do you think of the damage capabilities of such weapons in relation to the others we already have? Would they cause the same damage as shotgun/laser? I'm just afraid they'd be out of place aesthetically, and hard to reconcile in terms of functionality.

The shurikens should go fast and have -55 health.

Could always develop say a "sword" and secondary fire "shield" or "block". Then people can duel like that.

That would be to easy, you just go in front of eachother, and it would take long, you would bothe be waiting or attacking, the other will do the opposite.

Instead, in honor of the civil war of America, there should a gun, who takes a bit longer to recharge, but stronger.

Or a canon, built in the map (that might be exaggerated).
