Then tell me what its min spec is.
Edit: Technically I've worked on a game with true 3D explosions, I sure wouldnt trade FS2's explosions for them.
as far as i can remember quake2: a low poly sphere (well not exacty a spehere) that grows
but i agree that the result wasn't so good
about 2D/3D shockwave instead is something that would be nice if partially redone, both art and code, there was a thread about this 2-3 months ago about giving them a perspective, when now they are just 2D with a 90° degree to the camera
about new weapons, i think that with actual system you can make most of what you can imagine, only thing i can think of that i'm not sure you can do are, uh, some huge "plasma balls", i mean an energy sphere with lightning bolts or other animated effects (something like, you charge then fire the single big shot, like with some weapons in tachyon)
