Mortars...
This would, admittedly, be a hard weapon to use, but I think it would be an interesting experiment to have mortars, so you can lob shots over walls.

Re: Mortars...
That would add an interesting aspect to the gameplay. It would be a very large and difficult step to implement gravity on bullets, however, especially considering that the current server version has no idea where the bullets are in a map. I can't speak for future versions though.

Bullets will always travel in a straight line, that is a design choice that was made long ago. Mortars have been "shot down" (pun intended) numerous times.

Re: Mortars...
What about guided missiles? I'm quite against this idea, as it would just be an overcomplicated novelty (no offense), but couldn't theoretically the same principle be applied to a "mortar"?

Only if you locked it onto a bot below the ground, and somehow got the curve like a stone's throw.
