I'm vaguely disappointed that it's a puzzle item, instead of an on-command airstrike, but it's still damn impressive. Again, I worry about the "holder" being invisible, but maybe we can let that slide (or maybe you'll come up with something). Warning: Spoiler! Did Quake II have an airstrike item? I don't recollect one. Admittedly, though, I only played the PC version a couple times; I'm much more familiar with the N64 version which gave visual cues for puzzle item interaction points like for plastic explosives, etc. (I really need to download a Quake II sourceport, since the original Windows version doesn't work well on modern hardware, and the 360 version doesn't have the best mouse-to-joystick remapping.)

Oh, and I do notice that it spawns standard rockets. However, the rockets are still facing horizontally, even though they're falling vertically. Maybe you might want to come up with a custom vertically-oriented falling rocket projectile item (I'm sure you can just rotate the "3" frame of the rocket 90 degrees and use that).

Nah, the N64 version was a totally different level set. Some maps have recognizable elements from the PC version, but the map set is otherwise completely different--almost more like an expansion pack than a port.

But, that's only if you feel that it's actually worthwhile to have the message come up. I made the suggestion without doing any research into how complicated it would actually be to implement it, and I don't consider it necessary. I think the hologram alone should probably provide sufficient visual cue for the player (especially if the mapper provides a mission objective message like your example map does).
