: The mace is also the only weapon I'm aware of in any Marathon scenario that

Here I go hijacking another Red volunteers threat for my own nefarious purposes...
I've been toying with the idea of using an negative value recoil somewhere within WMaiD. Perhaps modifying the marine's standard punch to actually pull him forward? In an true low gravity station, this would almost seem like a leaping punch.
Curious, put does the Mace also effect the player's Z axis height? I only recall it pulling you forward - which was relative to the direction you aimed.
I also presume the negative recoil effect can work on monsters as their attack? Perhaps combining a Z axis weapon effect with a negative recoil could cause monster to 'jump' forward and up in low gravity, not unlike Mario...
I'm curious to know about people's reaction to this.
