If the environment could damage monsters, it would make the game easier. However, if our weapons could also hurt each other, then the would be more difficult, thus balancing that out. Bombers, of course, would be ostracized completely in these levels or areas.
Add gates or levels where the environment hurts monsters and our weapons hurt each other.

No.
And if you put in friendly fire, you are asking to be trolled hard. And nobody will ever complete a level.

Monsters receiving damage from hazards is indeed way too easy.Just shield bump them and sit in front of them.

Better yet, Shiverlock them
Better yet, Shiverlock them in the trap, in full Skolver + Heater Shield. Win! (Best with a VHigh CTR Shivermist)

Wouldn't a bomber set be better for shiverlocking? And how does your freeze resist matter?

In what he's proposing, bombs
In what he's proposing, bombs freeze fellow players, and only Bombastic (No CTR!) has Freeze resistance, out of the Demo Armor. I'm assuming one could be hit by their own bombs in that case. And yeah, as Fehzor pointed out... trolling would be a simple task.

+1 to friendly fire and
+1 to friendly fire and damaging enviroment. It will bring the whole game to completly new level of awesomness.
But instead of your fire damaging other players (since 'some'..........people would consider it making it too hard) it could just stun them.

Simply smash the shield button and enemies fly towards the spikes. You dont need to use weapons at all, except for turrets.
Or circle around .. enemies always take the shortest route to the player ignoring traps.
Until the AI improves and these cheap tactics like shield bump change (hint:they wont) or enemies get a masive health buff this is obviously a magic win button.
In parties, of course Bombers would be loathed. Solo... it would be a nice fun challenge for us demo experts. Plus, if we've got full VDemo, AoA becomes a weapon of choice... (Same with Bombastic's new Freeze Resist and Shiver. Even more so since you can freeze stuff on spikes, though Bombastic's lack of CTR balances that out.)
