The biggest problem I've had is flight paths. Things don't fly well in QW, so a lot of weapons that use projectiles end up being very aggravating to code or use. This is also why the AirQuake team chose not to make a QW port.
I'd like to make more QW mods though because QW runs so much better for net games, and I like playing against friends and setting up games on IRC. NQ just won't do it.

Hehe, thanks Harb.
In the few QW mods I've done, I've learned to avoid coding guns that shoot projectiles when a trace-hit weapon will suffice. I'd rather take on an opponent with the shotgun than with the super nailgun sometimes because of the weird things that happen with entities flying through the air. (it's also better in reducing lag to just use trace-hit)
Of course, maybe my memory exaggerates. Or maybe that's improved with engines like Fuhquake. It wasn't so bad when we played StarShip Troopers not too long ago.
