this is just my own opinion but from what i know unique weapons and items like you describe can't be implemented so easy with just the beta team to relly on. look at the bug forums. how many of these people are even beta tersters or have even played a beta map? many bugs are probably not ever reported but eliminated by exodus by himself. i think you underestimate both the amount of bugs and the difficulty of anticipating, identifying the cause of, and then the final removal of bugs. also, i don't think you're taking into account the balance issues. Even with normal weapons which all follow the same linear mathematical damage formula (i think) there are long discussions about imba-ness and underpowered-ness of weapons like swarms and torpedo launchers.
if you really want to get some cool new special items and weapons then you're going to have to provide a clear and concise argument for the one or ones you want the most with some clear views on how to implement and balance them. you will possibly face some ridicule or at the very least suspicious questions from the btanks community. (they will scoff at you at first most likely). so that means before you can even enter a serious discussion about it that you might first have to try to drum up some support with an opinion poll. this is very boring and retarded and no matter what you do exodus still might not like the idea for whatever reason and it'll most likely be a big waste of time. i dont' want to say that my way is the best or should be your way, but you might want to consider making a suggestion list too.
you have so many ideas, some of which are really good and i 100% agree with so i wish you luck in your collaboration attempts with exodus.
**sidenote: heaven forbid that after months of you not mentioning in your sig on the forums your first and main btanks clan and main hang out spot that i should be pegged as some sort of fucking fascist dictator or something! i only asked you about it out of sheer curiousity and i really don't give a fuck. i just was trying to make some polite conversation.

Why's the rothchild family crest and the illuminati symbol on my 1 dollar bill? Why do rich and powerful American "christian" leaders have gay sex and worship a giant 40 foot stone owl at Beach Grove every year? Why doesn't anyone care?
