If the wikia is to be trusted, it never reached a half-way usable stage.

Was there ever a version (presumably pre-release) that had that or was it just something that got talked about?

You'll get your BFG 2704 when I get my Automap Asteroids.

That's my best guess for the name. And presumably 9000 simply because they thought it sounded cool rather than the year 9000?
Around the same idea as before the millennium, when you saw all of those goddamn products with "2000" at the end of its name, right? :P

You'd have to ask the guys who worked at id at the time.

recoil. BFG stands for "Big Fucking Gun." Safest use: back to wall, distant target.

I agree that more flexible bouncing options would be good. I have found them limiting in the past.

Why is it called a 2704 anyway?

Agreed. Other mods that don't have that idea of the BFG 2704 could use things like +FLOORBOUNCE to get projectiles under very low areas or some such -- or +CEILINGBOUNCE by itself to lend a rock a hand. Just throwing out my two cents.

Because then you're stuck with having a projectile bouncing on all surfaces instead of only those surfaces you want them to bounce on.

And +HERETICBOUNCE is pretty much useless since the projectiles still die when they bounce.

Irregardless, having separate bounce areas would be useful.
