Completely forgot about HL2, probably because they solved it in such a different way. The bog standard method is boil you down to your most basic item (pistol or knife to continue the FPS example) and in HL2 they gave you one of the most powerful tools in the game. @Tom, good call!

Even more importantly the designers have to suddenly reconsider their approach to level/encounter design in light of the player's changed status. I can't think of any great examples off the top of my head, can you?

Just that quick paradigm shift that allows you to appreciate your chainsaw/smg/powers because of their absence.
