On the x-loc.... why does it allow you to live and kill the enemy? Cuz it's your friggin' beacon! It better damn-well let me live!

Yeah, but you usually don't plant it under somebody's feet when using it (unless you're trying to telefrag them!).:)

It won't let you live if your enemy finds it first and shoots it either.
I think a two-way x-loc would be the funnest (and funniest). It would require some creativity to kill someone. Like throw it at someone while you are jumping over a pool of lava. Might work if you could set it to activate on contact.

Nearly all the grapple hooks I've seen in computer games have let you "break" the level. You nearly always can get to places that you obviously shouldn't.

Perhaps a grapple should only work on certain materials, like in Thief?

With the fancy new engine, could U2 have a grapplehook with a real, soft rope? using a laserbeam is just cheating.

And couldn't you balance the x-loc by giving it a slow refire rate? Then you couldn't dodge with it.
