Oddly one of the more interesting quake 2 mods i played around with was Brazen. It made the Quake 2 weapons have realistic ammo management and carrying capacity.

The most intriguing part was perhaps that you could transfer ammo between magazines, and empty ones was thrown into the game world.

The developer would go on to make a variant of this that was compatible with Action Quake, with a bit of Matrix influence thrown in (you could climb buildings by "wall jumping").

That's a great article that really articulates some of the feelings I'd had towards modern games, especially FPSs.
