Yeah, I was thinking earlier about making one where it's third person (maybe platformer? I dunno) and you get past certain puzzles and situations using special abilities that only certain Quake monsters have, so you morph. Maybe use the ogre's grenade launcher to grenade jump, or use the fiend to jump real far.

I think this is the product of seeing Tei's post right after watching that V*lve Portal video...

South Park (N64, and possibly other platforms?) that was made a while ago had alot of "non-killy" weapons with alternate fire modes.... I'll just rattle off a few that I've remembered...

+Snowballs - Throw snow balls. Alt-fire are yellow snowballs which act like grenades (the character actually unzips his pants before throwing)
+Dodgeball - Throw a bouncy ball. Alt-fire is a faster, bouncier dodge ball
+Cow Launcher - Fire a cow that will land on top of other things... Interesting in split-screen multi-player, where you can see the effects on both the attacker's and victim's screen. Attacker sees the other player being sat on by the cow, and the victim sees the cow's ass (lots of detail). Alt-fire was sort of a gas-grenade thing.
+Alien death ray? - Forgot what it was called... It was one of those old-style record players. When you shot the opponent, it made them sing a song while dancing.

In a Q2 mod, I read up on (but didn't download) the BFG was modified so it would transmutate the thing you fired at into a random item. In Q3A, the Bouncy mod made every almost weapon non-lethal (the exception being that you nock a player into a wall or into bad things, or by freezing one with plasma and breaking with the shotty or rail).

There is an error in my impact physics from earlier: The player shouldn't slide, but instead bounce. My logic(Probably erroneous, but...) says that the relative damage value should still work, despite it being an elastic collision.

Another idea: Super Coffee! If caught by a player(flung at him), it causes him to suffer inaccuracy from everything shaking!(Probably would increase speed, though... Possibly also appliable as a [usable] powerup?)
