> whether you just wanted infinite rockets with no shields so everyone's bodies are flying all over

I did a Quake mod a bit like that, infinite rockets with massive explosive damage that did very little to your health but blew you right across the map. You could take about four or five direct hits from a rocket if you were pinned somewhere but mostly you'd take falling damage from bouncing the hell off the skybox.

Yes, it was stupid.

Yes, it was more-or-less unplayable.

Yes, it was as fun as it sounds.

I should resurrect that, if I can still find the code.

I forgot to mention in that example that it was infinite rockets, infinite grenades, no shields (so basically one hit), on beaver creek, Halo 1's smallest map, that was probably a couple thousand square feet total, with 32 players. Absolute, wonderful, fun for a while, chaos.
