• Helping migrate the game over to the new compiler (GMQCC) and fixing/hunting any bugs it presents
  
• Notification system re-write (better handling of centerprints, console messages, announcements, etc)
  
• Finishing new Crylink secondary (essentially just a slow and accurately directed burst with very high negative force, intended to slow players down a lot when shot.)
  
• Helping BitBomb finish the new announcer sounds
  

• Update the Shotgun to no longer use shells and instead have infinite ammo. (this also means updating the effects/sounds/visuals to match)
  
• Replace Machine Gun with Arc Cannon (lightning gun is redundant with MG, so we're moving MG into the "New Toys" mutator)
  
• New ammo system: Split up cell ammo so that only Nex and Electro use it, and create a new energy ammo type for Crylink and Arc. Additionally, remove Bullets and Shells.
  
• Create compatibility system and special algorithm for autobalancing map ammo (and potentially health/armor as well) in the best possible way given the variables.
  
• Move Rifle to "New Toys" mutator.
  
• Rename some weapons so that all weapons have specific pronoun names. (Old->New... Laser->Blaster, Shotgun->Shockwave?*, Rocket Launcher->Devastator)... By this point, the new core weapon set will look something like this: Blaster, Shockwave, Arc, Nex, Devastator, Crylink, Electro, Mortar, Hagar. 9 weapons in total.
  
• Hard coded game mode designed specifically for duel. (allowing unique rules and such for duel deathmatches)
  
• Powerup system re-write; Merge minstagib powerups to be in all modes, add new powerups like "self destruct" or "team healing" potentially, etc.
  
• Further improve "superweapon" powerup weapons (including: "Fireball", "Hookgun", and "Minstanex"... all of which may be renamed potentially) along with powerup system re-write.
  
• Improve the serverlist in some various ways
  

• Centralized server information menu (for MOTD, welcome message, server information, etc)
  
• Tip system or help system regarding weapons and items, to better allow new players to understand the weapons.
  
• Expand upon this help system by creating in-game documentation in the credits window. (instead of being only credits, it'll be called the "About" window... and there will be multiple tabs: Credits, Weapons, Game Modes, FAQ... etc, something like this.)
  
• Taking this one step further, integrate all of that into a singleplayer tutorial level.
  
• Integrate XonStat and show the player profile in the menu (allows people to see their statistics and such without ever leaving the game)
  
• Integrate IRC support into the game directly. (allows us to create rcon2irc bots without weird external scripts and other such features)
  
• Finish anti-vehicle weapon design by improving Minelayer and Seeker.
  
• Round based or time-reversing CTF (perhaps to allow non-symmetrical maps to be played more fairly?)

Additionally, I don't care if another game used it. There are countless games which use the name "Rocket Launcher", who cares?

Second : if we had 3 ammos, and all 9 used ammo, then it good, but in the end, we have 7 ammo-users which is a prime number thus cant be divided into groups.

Every single thing on it would be a major improvement to the game and just a handful of them would be the equivalent of a major face-lift. That last item would probably be one of the coolest, as I've yet to see another game that does it out of the box and would make CTF in Xonotic A LOT more interesting than CTF in other games. It would also mean that someone could copy/paste CTF Eternal Cave from UT99 and still get fair matches on it lol
