This is all from memory so, I might be missing some things:

Adds 10 extra weapons

Changes the damage ratio of all weapons

Imports the "gravity mines" from one of the Q2 expansion packs

Adds togglable "moon boots" (low gravity, on a per-player basis)

Adds a grappling hook, with swing physics

Has "secret" command to turn invisible. (I can't remember what it is). Because back in 1999 I didn't realize people could unpack binaries and read them.

My cousin and I burned hours in Quake2 with a mod that did these. Jumping around in low G while grappling around all over the map while trying to hit each other was fantastic - thank you for some of the best early FPS gaming I can remember!
