-There should be realistic explosions, not that crappy burst thing

-There should be a selection of different character looks, just to be a neat little feature

-There should be a way to put a logo on your character with a way for others to see it

-There should be a way to make a glowing ambiant light effect, like with beams or a magic sorta aura look

-there should be weather effects EX=Rain, snow, lightning,wind, falling leaves ect.

-There should be a dust effect for dirt textures, like small clouds of dust from your feet when you walk

-There should be support for GIF textures so you can add TV effects or moving screen animations

-Where do you see explosions in pantball?
-That's been proposed, but it'd take some time (mostly getting the new characters modeled), and there are more pressing matters at hand.
-Same as above.
-...Why? You can add light entities in maps if you want sourceless point lights.
-Same as two-above.
-Cool idea. Go to the feature vote thread.
-rscripts can do the same thing. Better to use those than to go through the trouble of adding GIF support.

He's talking about when paint grenades explode. Personally I think they are fine the way they are, it's not like they are real grenades.

First, for the light suggestoin, i knew about that, i meant a glowing effect that you can add to the ligh source to make it look like its an energy beam or something, second, i didnt mean explosions for grenades, i just meant a realistic animated explosion you can add, for effect, like the fire you can add

You want explosions in the game. Find/make a good GPL'd explosion model, and we'll talk.

Wasn't the original removed because it had copyright issues, and it looked crappy?

Theres no way to use emitter or particle effects, is there?
Or someone could make a 2-D explosion the same way the fire was made.
