Quouth Death Lord forcefield gameplay works very well.
Sock that's a nice model but I don't like the curved swords. To be honest I was not expecting to do anything interesting with this knight besides having two cool looking swords, but after what ijed said it got me thinking.
Personally I find bullet reflection abilities confusing to read and understand in games. There are plenty of examples of artifacts that do this function, empathy shield, cross of reflection, even the drake MOD has one, but I am not sure what it is called. So trying to implement a reflection ability is going to be tough because it has to be a certain state which the player can read and understand quickly. I like the idea of swords glowing with an extra large sword model over the top (insync animations) and the alpha value changed. Once the animations are setup then I will post a video to see what people think. Coding the reflection ability is going to be easy because I have re-written all monster projectiles QC scripts to go through one routine. That's why the method I mention is my preferred one, even though its more complex to make.
Visually you can see right away what's going on - the attacks bounce off the guy. The reason it works so well is you understand it immediately at first glance. I never knew what the function of empathy shield was and never worked up the curiosity to find out. Taking a small break from the blue map to mess about in Trenchbroom. Here's what I have so far, it's a remake -
http://s22.postimage.org/ei4s3ovtt/deck.jpg I wonder who will release the first fully trenchbroomed map? :D (not me, I'm only editing stuff made in another editor atm)
but I fear some other folk are secretly toiling away at it and might beat me to it. :D
I have the layout / connectivity finalized on the tournament map i mentioned earlier. Working on rebuilding the map from scratch using non-developer textures now. Starting on the most important part of the map, the main atrium!

The map is in beta now pick it up from this thread:

The megahealth seems out of place. I guess I would've expected that the megahealth be on a platform or stylish place, and not just on top of a couple of beams. I noticed that you have some items placed right at the edges. Is this because to allow players to grab those items without actually landing there? Isn't that a little too forgiving? I've been out of the quake scene for some time, so I don't know if that's a trend now, to be so forgiving like that. That looks really good.
Are you sure about that black sky? I'd just put a ceiling there, myself. I wrote up a quick OBJ to MAP convertor program so I could do stuff in Modo and import it into TrenchBroom. First test - successful!
The little "S" shape was modeled in Modo and converted Granted, there's no texturing info but, hey, the brush shapes are better than nothing... https://dl.dropbox.com/u/161473/Misc/QuakeStuff1.jpg It's the simplest conversion possible so it isn't like it's breaking up a mesh into convex chunks
