I never really went in for the deathmatch games, I liked working with a team in ctf. Remember, the grapple was not some thirdparty mod but was actually a part of the game that is just activated or deactivated by the server. So imho, it is a little innaccurate to say "the designers didn't intend for it to be used". just my 2ó -- Margolis http://web.archive.org/web/20030215212142/http://www.agqx.org/faqs/AGQ2FAQ.htm http://www.unrealtower.org/faq
